Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 043: Rejection

"I'm sorry, Master," Ats said without diminishing his respect, "I refuse."

"Hm? Why?" Master Eden frowned. He is sure to have told the best advantage that Ats will get after accepting his offer later.

"I have to focus on the field that I'm in now" Ats replied, thinking about his days that were always full of busyness. If his class were to be added, he would be very tired. "Unfortunately, the classes you offer are different branches to my field."

"Not at all" argued Master Eden, "My class will help you grow. Think about it again."

"..."

Ats speechless. Instead of rethinking Master Eden's offer, he looked for other reasons to reject it. In the end, he still nodded.

"I still can't" Ats said, expecting understanding, "You can definitely find someone else who is more deserving than me."

"You sure?" ask the Master Eden to test.

Ats nodded without the slightest hesitation. He really did not intend to join the Reserse Class at all. Too many classes will make the day heavy. If he overextended himself, he might fall again, then hear his aunt's fussy nagging.

"Hais .. alright if you don't want to," Master Eden sighed in disappointment, "I won't force you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Master," Ats replied politely.

"Hi, Master Eden," Master Khaled approached with a suspicious face, but there was a relaxed smile there, "I heard something interesting just now. What did you tell him?"

"It's nothing" replied Master Eden with a smile similar to Master Khaled's smile, "You need not worry. After all, he already rejected my proposal."

The master of Eden soon left with Arjuna. It seemed, he had already finished observing the training of the disciples. There's something else he has to do.

"Hais ...," Master Khaled sighed, somehow relieved, "To be honest, I acknowledge his ability. You could say, he is no less great with me, maybe even better to weigh the amount of experience he has. Why don't you accept the offer?"

"It's nothing," Ats shook his head slowly, "My aunt will be very angry if I become his student."

"Are you serious?" Master Khaled frowned as he watched Ats' face not change at all.

"Two rius," Ats replied jokingly. He rang a small smile and shook his head, then gave a real explanation, "For some reason, I can't join him."

"Hm, is it because of your family?" guess Master Khaled.

"It could be," Ats shrugged, "Taking her class must have had some consequences. Although there are many benefits that I can receive, but still not worth the consequences."

"Oh, I see," Master Khaled smiled in satisfaction, "You're a dutiful son of Ats. Your family must be proud."

"Hm," Ats smiled knot. There was a longing in his eyes. When remembering family, his memory always runs to where his father and mother are gone. He still doesn't know much about his sister, he hasn't even met her in person. If he had a memory with her, what would he feel in his heart?

"That's it, huh?" Iskandar stared at Ats walking from one of the buildings around the main road, "He still refused even after meeting him."

"Hm, just do it as usual" Iskandar nodded in understanding, "He is as stubborn as his mother. We will even get more troubled if we continue to force it. What about the 'party' there?"

"Just like us, they are still making observations" the young man replied, "It has been confirmed that they are also aiming for the 'system' and Young Master Asir. However, there has been no meaningful movement from them."

"Do more careful supervision," said Iskandar straightforwardly, "Make sure they do not have a gap to approach the Young Master Asir."

"Okay, Your Majesty," the man nodded. He stood up from his seat, then became his usual self again. When he came out of the room where he was reporting surveillance, someone called him.

"Instructure Mus," called a thick-browed man, "It just so happens that I'm looking for you."

"Bachelor Lee?" the man called the Mus Instructor turned his head.

"I'd like to ask your opinion regarding this child," Scholar Lee showed a digital self-data stored in his account, "If you're pleased, let's go to the cafeteria."

"This kid—" Instructor Mus frowned upon seeing the photo of the youngster that Scholar Lee showed it.

"He's one of your students in the Reclining Class" explained Scholar Lee, "I need a little information about his abilities in that field for data collection."

"Hm, alright," Instructor Mus nodded, "Come."

Ats busy days run as usual although he sometimes feels uncomfortable with the supervision carried out by various parties. Arselan regularly reports on suspicious individuals who continue to follow him. It was very disturbing, but ...

Well, ignore them all as long as they don't bother and dig their privacy too deep. Hopefully, they'll be out of here soon.

Without notice, the exam season begins. At Altair Academy, exams are conducted in three month-long stages which include practice exams, oral exams, and written exams. The tests made the students study harder than usual. Additional classes are given during the exam season.

After three weeks of long struggle, the academy festival was held. The Executive Board of the Academy, consisting of fourth year students and above, organizes exciting competitions at the festival. As usual, the senior forces dominated the victory in almost every race, while the first-year children whose unity had not grown only won a few solo races, it was none who won 1.

"Before the holidays" Arjuna originally picked up the topic right after the announcement of the results of the festival race was over. He can't wait to get back together with his family. It was the most awaited moment by the students in the academy after months of not coming home.

"Where are you going?" tanyakanya.

"Exercise" answered Solar briefly.

"I don't know anyway," Putu thought for a moment, "Maybe to Altalimain as usual."

"Hm, there are many tourist destinations, anyway," Arjuna nodded in agreement with the words. He stared at Solar blandly, then commented, "You just want to practice during the holidays. I don't think it's a holiday."

"As far as I dong," replied Solar cuek. His gaze was fixed on Ats who had just silently listened, "If you are, Ats. Where are you going on vacation?"

"Not going anywhere. At home, "Ats also hopes that the bullies who continue to follow him leave. He will write an official written protest to Iskandar later. Anyway, those stalkers should not follow him all the way to the Asir Family Territory. If not ...

"Take a look at them."
