SIMULATION
THE MATTEO TACTICS*

Sandra looks so tired. Ego looked at Sandra carefully from where she stood. Apparently, many candidates do the same thing as Sandra.

They started floundering holding both of their hands which hurt from holding up for too long.

"Just this is your ability? Quickly, it takes a long time for all of you to become a User," said Ego effectively insinuated to all candidates who have been sweating.

It seems some candidates are trying to rise, but they collapsed again because they were unable to, including Sandra.

DRAGGED!

"Congratulations to Boldomero Baden. You managed to become a participant by doing the most push-ups numbering 375," Eco informed, but there was no applause from the candidates because their hands felt cramp.

"only 375? I'm pretty sure I did more than that" Baden protested.

"OKAY. Let's check" Ego said, pointing to the big screen where the Baden footage was shown.

There is data there. If you do not use the analysis system from Eco, Baden is able to do push-ups up to 497.

But apparently, there are some movements that are considered imperfect by Eco because of simple things such as the position of the hand support that is not in accordance with the standard, bend when doing the push, uneven back, and so on, and the position of the body that does not match the record of an ideal push-up movement.

"Geez, shitt!" baden complained annoyed with sweat soaking in his body.

Sandra glanced at its value which turned out to only be able to make 315 moves.

"Eco is very selective. I told you, you might be able to fool our eyes, the humans, but not Eco. He was specially programmed under the direct supervision of President Roman. So, if you want to protest, it can be delivered directly to the President. Want me to report it?" ask Ego while raising one of the eyebrows.

Practically, everyone shook their heads quickly looking scared including Sandra. The operators smiled amusedly as the guts of the candidates frowned instantly as Roman's name was called.

"OKAY. Today's training I consider enough. We'll do the packing before it disbands. We'll meet again tomorrow. Standing up," Ego and the men looked so tired that their physiques were pounded that day by running and push-ups.

The candidates lined up neatly where they stood. The ego teaches a movement that makes prospective users surprised because it turns out, the Ego's body is quite flexible behind the muscles in him. It is like teaching gymnastic movements in a slow style like Tai Chi martial arts.

Sandra followed the movement where she had never studied the science before. Sandra's body was lithe and without the men noticing, their eyes were turned to Sandra's body which was curling beautifully like a dancer on the edge of an oasis in the middle of the barren land.

The candidates instead of following the Ego movement, their eyes focused instead on Sandra's movements that looked more favourable to look at.

Secretly, the Ego realizes it, but leaves it until the movement is done.

"OKAY. Thank you for your participation. Starting tomorrow, Otka Oskova will be placed in the back row. I saw that many were out of focus and started hallucinating" said Ego calmly, but he struck some men for feeling insinuated.

Sandra frowned looking confused by the Commander's words. Bablo—, one of the operators in the Control Center of Robot Level A, later—chuckles because he understands what the Commander meant.

That afternoon, the training was over. The candidates looked so tired. Sandra chose to return to her room immediately. Spectra who was watching came back to the General's room.

Seen, the blue man was busy in his study taking care of some digital documents on the touch screen of the monitor in front of him.

PIPS!

"Fill your day, Spectra. Thanks to the report today" Matteo glanced at the robot with a flat face and Spectra immediately entered a tube in the room to charge the battery.

Suddenly, Matteo put down his electric pen. He looks upset about something.

"Dam. Why does my head only contain Otka? I couldn't think and finish my job. It sucks!" his grunts were annoyed at the confusion of resolving the conflict in his mind and heart.

Matteo picked up the pen again, but instead of finishing his work, he drew Sandra on the screen in front of him.

Slowly, Matteo's smile was engraved without him noticing. Long enough for the General to draw until finally, Sandra's sketch he managed to get with a blue line.

"Hem. Bizarrely. Why ... My heart is pounding?" her tan was astonished as she held onto her chest with a frown.

Matteo got out of his chair and took some drinking water in the kitchen. He decided to take a short break and stand on the balcony.

Unintentionally, he sees Tony with Akira standing together across the water to head to the Green Eco building opposite.

"Hem. I decided, you became my rival, Captain Tony," he said pointing from where he stood with a serious face.

The next day, Sandra went back to heavy training with other male candidates. That day, they were required to do sit ups with technical as before.

The bodies of the candidates still felt stiff and cramped in some parts, making the movements of the people a little slow.

However, Sandra who continues to do physical exercise for the last few months makes it not so difficult, although she still can not get the first order and always enter the top 3.

DRAGGED!

"Congratulations to Benvolio Benigno. You managed to become a participant by doing the most sit-ups numbering 401," Eco informed.

Now, the sound of applause was heard as a form of support people to one of the Italian candidates. The man nodded in thanks, despite looking exhausted.

"OKAY. After lunch, we gathered outside the building. The weather is still quite cold outside even though spring is coming soon. The weather is right to practice. Prepare yourselves. Disperse!" ego said with full intent in every word.

All of the candidates immediately had ugly faces as they felt if the next heavy training was outside the room.

"In a moment, you're going to graduate, Otka. Congratulations, yes" said Ben with a sweet smile.

"Yes, thank you. Hopefully ... you can follow soon," Sandra replied with the same smile because the candidates who joined the training with her can only graduate next year.

Sandra will graduate with the previous year's User candidates in March in the spring. The familiarity of the soldiers' faces while enjoying a meal together.

Spectra, again lurking from a distance. Matteo looks sad to see Sandra is able to socialize with people so easily as not to have difficulty.

"What's wrong with me? I can't get along like that with the people around me. They never laughed or smiled casually in front of me," asked Matteo puzzled by himself.

The General stood in front of the mirror and showed his smile in various styles. He even made some movements and talks as if there was a person in front of him.

"Agh, no-no. Otka didn't do that ridiculous thing. He ... like this," he said, mocking his own behavior.

"Ehem," she began her solo stage act with a smile despite being forced and her body erect. "Hi, I ... Matteo Corza" he said, shaking hands and pretending that someone was welcoming him. "I Am .. a General in the Great Ruler. Hem, you know that department. I too ... will be a candidate for President in place of Roman later. Yeah, yeah, I know, thank you. I'm handsome, smart, rich, and. Don't praise me like that. I also wonder why I was born perfect like this, hahahaha," he said.

Without Matteo noticing, Lala peeked at the madness Matteo was doing in his study. Sora, who was with Lala, held back a smile because he first saw the General doing this ridiculous thing.

"Agh, no, no. Otka never praised himself. Maybe yes, once in a while, but not so. Mm, how is it?" he said he was revising his behavior.

Sora who usually showed her haughty face to the point of not being able to hold back a smile. Until finally, he ventured to appear with the Vice President.

"Sora! Have you prepared the documents for the General to sign?" asked Lala who was pretending to have just come and her voice sounded in the corridor.

Practically, Matteo's eyes widened. He immediately returned to the work chair and looked serious about his work.

"Hi, General," Lala greeted with a flared smile and Matteo nodded in a haughty manner as usual.

Sora entered the room gracefully, though it looked like she was holding back a smile.

"Sorry, Matteo for giving you a lot of work. Roman is serious about the final test of the Otka robot" Lala said, taking a chip from a document that Matteo had completed in a black box.

"Yes, Auntie, I get it. So ... is it perfect?" matteo asked while receiving a new document in the form of a tablet from Sora.

"You're asked to come check it out once all this work is done. Next week?" asked Lala and Matteo nodded.

Lala then resigned herself. He left Sora because there was still work that Sora had to convey to the General. Matteo looked alert with the surroundings. Sora frowned looking confused.

"What's up, General?" sora asked looking at the handsome man in front of her in astonishment.

"Sora. You don't have a boyfriend yet, do you?"

Sora immediately rewinded his body until he slipped on the back of the chair. "I don't want to date you" she refused. Matteo.

"I didn't even offer you that. Don't be arrogant" he hissed and Sora looked away haughtily. Matteo took a deep breath. He was patient with friends during his school days. "Sora. How do you think Captain Tony is?" ask Matteo suddenly.

"Tony?" Matteo. Sora looked like he was thinking seriously. "He .. good. She ... felt ungainly talking to me," replied Sora innocently. Matteo's eyes sparkled.

"That's a sign, if Tony likes you," he said, quickly advancing his body with both hands on the desk.

"What?"

Matteo nodded quickly. "The man never admits his feelings. However, of all the men, only Tony would dare to say hello, invite you to chat and ... the like?"

"Her kind?" sahut Sora repeated because for him Matteo is strange.

"Yes. Why don't you find out about Tony. She's still single, just like you."

"Execuse me?" sahut Sora directly raised one of his eyebrows.

"I support you, Sora. Rest assured to me, only Tony deserves you," Matteo stares at Sora.

But his strange attitude even made Sora suspicious. The beautiful Toska-haired woman chose to leave and did not continue her strange chat with the General.

Matteo looks proud of his recent stunt where he has his own way of getting rid of Tony from Sandra.

"Hem, I'm great" he said, praising himself.
