Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 003: Arselan Specialization

"Ats" called out a soft voice that infiltrated Ats' ear. The boy also looked. He stared innocently at a thin bearded man who called out to him. The smile on the man's face was warm. It is clear the love given to him.

"Let's go home," the man asked as he extended his large hand. Little Ats grabbed the hand with his tiny fingers. He walked while being held by the man for a while.

"Are you tired?" asked the man with a worried look on his face.

Ats just winked. Both of his hands were raised as if trying to grab the sky in front of the man. They both look at each other.

The thin-bearded man pulled Ats into his carrier. In his arms, Ats hugged the man with a tight hug as if he did not want to get away from him. His eyes were closed, but his heart continued to feel the warmth of a father's affection.

"We have arrived" said the man cheerfully.

Ats opened his eyes and looked ahead. He saw a green house with dense hanging plants in his yard. There was a square-shaped fish pond beside him. Tilapia fish can be seen swimming cheerfully in the pond. Pots with various flowers are placed around it.

Ats who was passed down from the sling instantly hurriedly embraced his father's hand. The man was surprised. The only son of his puppet was as if he was very unwilling to lose himself.

They also went into the house. A bright cream-hooded woman greeted the two warmly. Ats immediately ran into his embrace. He was greeted with a kiss on the forehead and both cheeks.

"Yuk, eat first," the woman asked. Ats nodded. Her two tiny hands clutching the tip of the big veil that the woman was wearing. He doesn't want to let go.

Arriving in the dining room, Ats was still attached. The boy did not want to sit alone. He whines so he can sit on his mother's lap. Without objection, the woman accepted.

Warm rice, a delicious side dish, complete with the togetherness of a family in a harmonious household ark. That's what little Ats yearns for, the warmth of a modest little family. No less, no more.

Suddenly, he felt empty. Looking back, she did not find her mother there. When he looked ahead, he did not see his father. Again, he was alone in front of a variety of dishes that began to cool down.

Ats speechless. His tiny hands clenched. Her tears dripped unbearably. The chubby cheeks on her cute face got wet shortly afterwards.

Everything in the past is gone. There lived a poor little boy who stood alone. The crying also screamed loudly.

A child's heart is very sensitive. Therefore, they immediately cry when they feel sad and lonely. That's how Ats cried nonstop. His longing seemed completely incurable.

Ats also woke up from his sleep. He sat down and closed his eyes with one hand. Tears are pouring in from there. His face was rippled with sadness. The longing touches the heart as if it will not stop.

"Senior Fang, quickly get up," Ats called out as he patted Fang's shoulder. That narrow-eyed young man was very difficult to wake up. He was curled up on the sofa like a rock.

Fang only woke up after Ats called out to him many times. He sat down to collect his life which was still scattered. Unfortunately, Fang's body collapsed again because it failed to reassemble his life. Ats clucked slowly and stared at his new droid.

"Success activation ...

Identification of driver ...

Identified driver! Good morning, Mr."

Those voices popped up in Ats' mind. Although it still needs habituation, it is more quiet now. Ats sent a command with his mind, "Link the J.M-52 device!"

"Linked devices. Authority has been obtained. Please give me the next command."

The notification appeared in Ats eyes. He also grinned nosily. That ignorant senior should be taught a lesson.

In an instant, the J.M-52 was active. The droid floated in the air and let out a soft whistling sound. He took a glass filled with water. With his claw legs strong enough, the J.M-52 can lift the glass and carry it flying over Fang.

"Turn slowly, "Ats said his orders spontaneously, but he simply sent them with his mind.

"Gfst!" Ats barely failed to hold back his laughter when he saw Fang's shocked expression. Well, let's just say it's retaliation because the OSIS vice-chairman has already implicated him in trouble. They will be punished this morning. " Senior, we should hurry to return to the dormitory."

"Where is this?" fang asked as he rubbed his wet face. He seemed to not remember what happened to them since yesterday.

"Professor Han's residence" replied Ats. He had arranged the J.M-52 to spill the water slowly. So, the volume of spilled water can be adjusted so as not to over-wet the sofa on which Fang slept. "When do you want Senior to hide here?"

"Eh? You serious? How are we supposed to be here?" it turned out that Fang did not remember it at all.

"You guys up?" Professor Han appeared from the front door, "Sorry not to be able to give you a comfortable place to stay. My house is small."

"Ah, no problem, Prof," Fang rose from his place. He is fully conscious now. "You're the one who should apologize for bothering you."

"Hm," Professor Han nodded slowly, then turned to Ats, "How are you doing now, son?"

"Ah, I'm fine," Ats replied spontaneously, "I think, I'm getting a little used to it."

"Well, you can control J.M in one try. It's a good first step, son. However," Professor Han turned to J.M-52 who was hovering above Fang with a water cup at the foot of his claw. "I'll remind you one more time, Ats. Don't use that system carelessly."

"I understand, Prof," Ats ordered J.M-52 to put the glass and get close to him, "I'll be careful next time. This is the necessary intention."

"Oh, yes," Professor Han recalled something, "You can store Arselan in particle form when you don't need it. That way, you can use it at any time without having to reactivate the system. Have you learned the particle storage technique?"

"No, yet" Ats shook his head. Particle storage is a high-level technique. With this technique, the Zarahian can fuse its target object into small particles that are then stored in the particle dimension. It takes a lot of energy to use it.

"Em, Professor," Ats wanted to ask him something he had been curious about since last night, "This system is the second version right? How's the first version?"

"First version?" Professor Han recalled, "The first version of the system is stored in an octagon prototype. The system is heavier than Arselan. Therefore, his project had been stopped since the last world war. From the rumors I heard, the system was passed down to the imperial family living on Earth."

"more weight? Is it because it's not perfect?" ask Ats curious.

"No," Professor Han shook his head, "It is precisely the first version is more perfect than the second versions. Arguably, the second version is a form of discernment of its division."

"What does that mean?" Fang doesn't understand, neither does Ats.

"When simplifying, the first version is divided into 7 specializations that are passed down to the second version," explains Professor Han, "Each part has a main function and one specialization function."

"So, are there 6 other systems like Arselan?" Ats began to understand. Professor Han nodded, "Well, there are 6 other systems. Unfortunately, those systems are no longer being developed because of our failure yesterday. They were kept in the most secret place belonging to the imperial family."

"What is the specialty of Arselan?" Fang also began to understand.

"Arselan was the closest to the Zarah Clan's characteristics, namely particles," Professor Han pointed out a capsule-shaped object about the size of a grain of wheat, "This is a microbot. We have to install the level 5 system of the Arselan system if we want to test its authorisation. At an even higher level, drivers might be able to control thousands of nano-sized droids."

"Wow, how can I install a higher level," Ats became even more interested. It must be cool to be able to control thousands of such super-small robots.

"It won't be easy," Professor Han smiled faintly at Ats' passion, "We should test it out little by little first. Your brain might be destroyed if it installs a high level immediately."

"Oh, I get it," Ats muttered.

"Oiya, you've actually been waiting for the Care Board since then," Professor Han said showing a voice call from the Care Board on her phone, "You should go back now. I'm so sorry, I'm not in charge of defending you."

Ats was stunned, while Fang shouted loudly inwardly.
