Abyss
#21
Next day.
It looks as if Nine is standing in the yard where he lives, enjoying the warm sun that has just risen. There was nothing important about why 4L invited Nine to come to his residence, except to be a friend to his granddaughter who is currently on vacation in the Abyss.
"Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" said Seya who had just come with Qeela.
"No, just for a second. " Nine replied, but the real thing was, Nine had just returned from her 4L residence and had no time to rest.
"You're okay, right?” Qeela asked when she saw a different expression, a face that looked exhausted.
"Yes, it looks like you're not okay" Seya continued.
“Is everything clearly visible?” Nine thought in silence. At least with this, 2 days had passed since the last time he fell asleep.
"I'm sleep deprived, but that's okay. " Nine answered.
There was nothing Seya and Qeela could say. They just fell silent.

Moments later, the three of them finally arrived in front of a building that looked round and looked magnificent, inscribed "Alchemy Academy" on the front side of the building and a logo of a Wings Piece on Atom, the logo is clearly visible above the entrance of this building.
Upon their arrival inside, Seya immediately stepped foot to face the receptionist, "The auditorium hall where Alchemist Lenhart Treaya teaches?" Ask Seya.
Then the receptionist gave Seya access to open the floor plan of this building, after getting enough information, Seya immediately returned, "I already know the room, we're through here," he asked.
When they reached the entrance of the auditorium, Seya immediately scanned the attendance on the system that had been provided, a system that serves to ensure the students who have qualified.
In the auditorium, there were many students preparing to attend the lesson. Only 31 teams were allowed, and a total of 93 students. Among them all, Team Seya chose to sit in the back row.
While waiting for the Pillar to come, the students seemed busy with each other, talking about many things, material to be studied or other discussions.
After leaning his head against the table, Nine said, "I will fall asleep first, even if the Pillar comes, don't wake me."
"But Alchemist Lenhart is a Pillar" Seya said in a worried tone.
"The Encyclopedia Abyss says it's okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with learning, students are allowed to sleep, "Nine answers everything.
"But" said Seya.
Regardless of what was said to him, Nine closed his eyes and began venturing into dreamland.
"Let it go, didn't he look so tired, " said Qeela, and Seya who heard only fell silent.

The anticipated time had come, the woman wearing a white robe entered the room carrying a thick book in her right hand, "Include me Lenhart Treaya, please, I hope you guys are different from those I've previously met," he said.
Just because of his arrival, it was seen that all the students instantly fell silent with expressions of admiration. Being in the leader class of the Alchemists as well as a Pillar was a miracle.
Suddenly, Lenhart's Alchemist gaze was fixed on Nine who was asleep, while Seya who saw it could not hide her worries. But right then and there, Alchemist Lenhart did not care about it, with a hint of relief, Seya took a deep breath.
Although Alchemist Lenhart did not care about it, but it was different with other students, the dislike of it was evident in the expressions on their faces.
Lenhart's alchemist began to convey the material, "Those who are experts in chemistry will be the frontrunners who change the civilization of this world, glory is what they definitely get."
"If you are a genius, you will easily surpass this short age limit. Living thousands of years is not a problem."
Just a little listening to the explanation of the Lenhart Alchemist, they all no longer cared about the figure of Nine sleeping, they were only focused on learning.
Alchemist Lenhart continued his explanation, "If a great programmer is able to create robotic technology to work for his own sake.”
“In addition to the Programmer, a great Alchemist will be able to create an artificial man who works according to his commands, or simply, a great Alchemist will be able to bring to life a dead man."
“Do you believe in that?”
Hearing what Lenhart's Alchemist had explained made all students speechless, without a scientific theory, no one was able to answer.
"alright. Armed with the knowledge of chemistry that you have today, make a theory, how to turn on a dead human?"
"Discuss with your group mates" he ordered.
Some sounds began to be heard between them.
"How, what elements should be needed?"
"Even what the existence of the soul itself is like I don't know."
"It doesn't make sense, how could we possibly know that."
"We can make it by arranging every smallest part of some organs needed, but the problem is, how to make it move."
“When a human dies then his brain will stop working, if you want to turn on a human who has been, then the first thing to think about is how to reconstruct each brain nerve to return to work. After that, other organs.
"I've often heard of Lenhart's Alchemists doing experiments creating artificial humans, are we being tested by him?"
"How can we possibly do it, it's even easier to program a robot."
"I can't think any further about this, artificial man? If possible I'll make zombies."
"What should we write, I can't solve his theory yet. How do we revive dead human cells?"
"Should we give up?"
They discussed for quite a long time, but they could not find the end point of everything, no one could make up his theory.
They were thinking, was it so difficult the matter of a Pillar, one of the 13 Entities that had a great influence over the Abyss by the world.

In the back row, where Seya, Qeela and Nine were.
"How, if you can make up the theory," Qeela asked Seya, while Nine who was beside them was still asleep.
"I'm not sure what I think, how can we bring to life the dead.”
"If you go back to the base of the anatomy of a part of the human body, then what makes a human being able to move is his brain that is synchronized with all the cells that exist."
"The most complicated part is how to keep the human brain working."
"It's not just that, the cells that die in the body, we have to be able to function it again, like the heart has to keep moving."
"Maybe we can pair it with a battery to re-function every nerve with electricity."
"But still this is something that is difficult, at least we have to know the anatomy of every part of the human body itself, coupled with some chemical engineering to make it work."
"I'm not sure what I'm thinking, I've never tried it, but if it's just a theory maybe it can still be tried." Seya ended his theory.
"so yeah. I can't help too much with a discussion of human anatomy" Qeela said.
"But if it's about some elemental content and some rock transfusions maybe I can give an answer" he continued.
"Or what if we made a theory by mixing the natural energy that is in the core of the stone to bring to life the dead man, the stone itself is called the Astral Stone, as in the movies, hee," qeela said a little jokingly so that Seya was not too tense.
"Hows it? Rather than us not being able to answer," continued Qeela with her sweet smile.
"Unscientific," Seya replied scowling, while Qeela remained smiling.
After being satisfied enough to see their confusion, Alchemist Lenhart again greeted, "Are you guys able to think about it?
"Sorry Alchemist, what if we're wrong? " ask one of them.
"There are people who are never wrong? " answered Alchemist Lenhart.
"There is no punishment if you are wrong, but you will get something special if you have a theory that is right or that approaches it" he continued.
Instantly they all grew excited over the special thing promised, but still, it did not change anything.
After they gathered the answers, not a single one of their answers made Alchemist Lenhart interested. Their answers were all just a pile of useless trash.
