A World no more, than a whisper.

A World no more, than a whisper- 3

"Floor Number Twenty Two." A female AI voice spoke through the speakers as the doors of the elevator split apart. A purple/lavender alicorn trotted through the metal floor as the doors adjoined behind, arriving to a modern-futuristic style room. The walls were enhanced cement, excluding the wall on the right, which was practically constructed out of nano-glass. The room had the appearance of a multi-purpose expanse. There was a kitchen, 2 large sofas on the centre, smaller chairs on the sides, a huge catwalk on the other side of the room, 2 comfort rooms, various portraits hung on the walls, a desktop near the glass wall and a wide LCD. What was solely lacking was the beds or any similar design.

Of course, there were people inside. Only they weren't the "people" one mortal Earth human would expect. The "people" were each in their idle or indolent positions, either polishing their magickry or simply idling, when the alicorn merrily shouted a "HELLO!". Instead of being startled, their faces were filled with happiness.

"I'm back, everywho! And guess what?" The alicorn exuberantly greeted, having with her a diploma, several books focusing on Astronomy and Metaphysics behind her, carried by a small rover drone, and about 3 gold and 9 platinum medals hung around her neck. "I've got a degree! In Astronomy, Metaphysics!" She hastily swung the diploma around, grinning agape,

Awestruck, all the "people" jumped off their "do-doings" hurriedly, some of them leaped on the alicorn cheerfully. One white-coated pegasus with a destiny mark of weapons relating to Valkyrian culture carefully but with zippy speed lifts the alicorn by her mane to stand. Like a warrior to a rookie, the pegasus patted the alicorn quite hard on her back, though the latter didn't seem to mind, she having been used to it.

"Haha! Nice work, Nightcore!" The pegasus remarked in a strong warrior accent.

Another pony approached this alicorn, Nightcore, though in a slow manner. She was fairly green-coated and had a flower plucked unto the right area between the mane and her right ear. She managed to raise her snout slightly to Nightcore's front before saying in a very soft tone, "Acclaim to you, my friend!"

"Yeah! Epic grades you got, Nightcorey!" Another colt butted in, literally. "So much for me calling you egghead and nerd!" The colt was somehow sporting a durable, glossy-at-its-average, silver-ish protective suit and though unused, he was equipped with eye visors which could shoot out lasers. This time, they were kept above his mane, for there clearly was no menace around....not for long. He, without doubt, appeared to be a male pony in his teen years.

"Heh, you'll still call me those, even after my graduation, Laser?" She asked, fixing her mane which was cluttered up due to the speedster's carelessness.

"Yup! Umm, actually, I don't know, but I may still call you nerd. You're way too smart!" Laser Tight teased, breaking out into a fast sprint, circling around the three fillies. "Nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd ner-" BOOOIING! A metallic clang ensued as the speedster unintentionally and comically impacts with a long, metal bar, which seemingly stood out of nowhere. He felt dizzy as he feel down to the ground, not knocked cold, but rather recovering with consciousness from his reoccurring bad luck.

"You, Laser, should need to comprehend the importance of expanding your miniature vocabulary." Spoke a male voice, this time it sounded emotionless, and deeper than the rest of the ponies' voices. "In case you haven't known, the definitions of egghead and nerd are as followed; egghead, one who is highly academic, studious or of great intellect, and nerd refers to a person who is inept socially and is studious, but in a tedious and boring manner. Now you know the difference between these two terms, right Nightcore?"

"Yup, Reagan. Thanks for clarifying it out." Nightcore answered.

Laser tremulously got back on his hooves, and he crossly stared at the metal bar, massaging his affected head. "That stupid metal bar. When are you going to throw it away?"
