Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 014: Examination of Master Khaled

"I heard you've learned quite a bit about the Jasus Department," the waist-rattled Master Khaled stared intently at Ats. The aura of intimidation seeped from the body of his trained bongsor. Even so, he actually did not mean to scare her at all. "What do you know about that department?"

"Department of Jasus," Ats could immediately answer, "It is a special department built to intersect with the world outside the constellation of islands. They were the bridge to the international relations of the Altair Empire. Without that department, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not be able to work properly."

"Oh, you even know the purpose of that department," Master Khaled the beard while twisting his thin beard. "Then, what are their main divisions?"

"Diplomatic Division," Ats called it one by one, "It is the most important division in the department. They are the reason for the establishment of the Jasus Department. Their task is to negotiate and exchange knowledge with the people on the surface of the earth, both the Aklali and the Elemental."

"The Observation Division," continued Ats, "Different from the Diplomatic Division, they are divisions that are directly in contact with nature. Usually, they consist of teams of trained zarahian practitioners searching for resources throughout the universe, even in outer space."

"Then?" Master Khaled glared, continuing to take Ats seriously.

"Logistics Division," Ats raised both hands as he looked up, "This division is a division that supports the other two divisions. Those responsible for the needs of the envoys or diplomats sent abroad. They were also in charge of the resources discovered by the zarahian practitioners of the Observation Division."

"That's it?" ask Master Khaled as soon as Ats stops his explanation. The young man he asked nodded, then replied, "This is how far I know. That's all it says in the book of the Scientific Library."

"Hm, alright," Master Khaled gave a small nod, "That's more than enough for you. Now, decide which one you choose?"

"Eh?" Ats was a little surprised. In fact, it's the same thing that forced him to be the senior candidate in that department. However, since this was what his teacher directed, he did not complain either. "Personally, I tend to choose the Division of Observation, more precisely the research institution contained therein."

"Oh, as you said yesterday," Maaster Khaled again gave a small nod, "You really want to be a scientist, huh? In fact, your father was a great admiral."

"My close family is also more willing that I do not approach the same profession as my father," explained Ats with a faint smile, "They prefer me to be a scientist like my mother."

"The Asir family told you that?" Master Khaled asked unconvinced by Ats' explanation. Ats reiterated, "I did not go into the main family. There was another young man who was focused into the military realm. I'm not the only young man from the Asir Family."

"Oh, so it is," Master Khaled got up from his seat. He invited Ats to go to the training hall. Arriving there, he immediately gave Ats a training sword. "As Professor Han said, you have to join the Zarah Class to develop your potential even if you only want to become a scientist. For that, try to fight me with all your abilities."

"Sword?" Ats frowned. This is an ancient weapon that is rarely used today. His science also tends to be studied for art as he did in the Ats Family. In this ultramodern age, long-range weapons predominate.

"Hm, that's the most basic weapon for a zarahian practitioner" said Mater Khaled, "You must have learned it from your father, right?"

"...."

Ats nodded very small. It made Master Khaled smile happily, then put up the horses. "Son, go! I know that your family has great swordsmanship. Let this man feel his greatness."

Ats didn't say another word. He immediately showed me what he called action. His body formed horses. His two hands clasped the sword tightly, positioning himself as the attacker. His eyes stared intently at Master Khaled. Even though he looked tough on the outside, his heart was pounding as it faced off against a master zarahian practitioner.

A group of students walked into the training hall when Ats made his horses. They were stunned as soon as they saw Master Khaled standing there with a disciple. Initially, they were willing to come out again, but it was void once they saw Ats advance to attack the master. They decided to sit on the outskirts of the hall to see the fight.

"Good! Show me your skills!" master Khaled exclaimed glad to see Ats' perfect move. From that movement, the master knew that the young man in front of him not only knew the basics of the zarahian practitioner science, but also was well versed in its essence. If he was an ordinary disciple, his ghost would be instantly accepted. However, he was a disciple recommended by the imperial family, of course his standards should be higher.

Trang!

"Slowly," Master Khaled again repelled the attack with ease. However, Ats was not again pushed by the stalk, but rather twisted to the blind spot of the master. He intends to attack from behind.

"...."

At a glance, Ats' sword seemed to pierce through Master Khaled's body. The disciples watched it. They were even more surprised when Ats suddenly pulled out his sword and moved away from the master. A moment later, replace Master Khaled who took the sword.

That's no ordinary fuck. There was a wave of energy coming with him. If the stone is hit by the sabetage, surely the sabetage will be deep enough there or even destroy it.

Ats stunned. He will not be able to avoid the particle energy. His body automatically focused. He was ready to activate the technique of the zarahian practitioner to survive the sabetage.

Trang!

The sound of the impact was heard again. There was a transparent veil that held back the slash. Ats blinked his eyes upon hearing the notification from Arselan.

"Detects non-rude attacks of the eye" the system says, "The protective barrier is automatically activated. The attack was neutralized."

"Ck! It must be because of the toy, right?" Master Khaled pointed at the small disc flying around Ats, then grumbled and blamed Professor Han. He had excellent vision until he could see such a small droid. Although upset, he was also relieved that Ats was not hurt by his attack. Honestly, he was too excited to almost harm his student.

"The attacker was identified" Arselan said. In the eyes of Ats, the system showed the form of a military kitten. From his expression, Arselan looked angry and alert.

"What does starry confinement mean in that affiliate panel?" ask Ats confused. Arselan also blabbed, "Information blocked. The secondary function of the data penetrator is still locked."

"Oh," Ats immediately understood his point. Before he could mutter again, Master Khaled had already called him, "Hi, son. Come here!"

"Okay, Master," Ats immediately approached.

Master Khaled sheathed his sword. Ats also drew his sword. It's a short fight, but it's good for both sides.
