Klaus took in the whole space, making sure to observe everything there was to notice. The fact that he was joining sothing that he knew would be the future of warrior training and socialization made him feel giddy.
"Klaus, do you need so help learning about the Model Table?" Lucil asked, looking at him with an expression that scread, 'Please accept, I want to spend all the ti in the world with you.' Klaus read her expression and nodded.
"I'll definitely depend on you for that. I actually have so fictional ideas I want to crank out," Klaus replied, smiling inwardly as he envisioned modeling an elegant monastery perched on a mountain, surrounded by an ethereal mist.
His mories of the past felt like a cheat sheet full of ideas he could bring to Oracle. He had so much he could model within the walls of this place.
Lucil's smile widened at his enthusiasm.
"By the way, Lucil, what's your job here? I'd like to know more," Klaus began, planning to learn more about them and eventually figure out their true intentions. He figured Lucil would be the easiest to read.
"Well, these three doofuses wanted soone to help them co up with a new trial for the Union Selection trial for the academy," Lucil replied, not bothering to mask her words, knowing Klaus would be part of the test three months from now.
"I shouldn't learn about this; it's like a spoiler alert," Klaus said, realizing where the conversation was headed and trying to change the subject.
"Oh, please! You're literally here to help us make Oracle better, which will be reflected in the next trial. You're basically the one creating the next trial—no need to act modest. Plus, you're not even going to wash out, knowing how monstrous you can be," Logan chid in, clearly seeing what Klaus was trying to do.
Klaus smiled, knowing full well that what Logan said was true.
"Then I won't try to be modest. But I'd appreciate it if I knew less about it," Klaus replied, maintaining his smile. Even if he knew more, it wouldn't change anything. He was monstrous, and he was confident that despite the challenges stacked against him, he would find a way to weave through them sohow.
"Well, I'm a kind of ga designer, and as you might have guessed, I was friends with these three nerds back in college. I was there when they ca up with the crazy but brilliant idea," Lucil said.
"So, why aren't you part of the team?" Klaus asked.
"I started my own startup back in college and wanted to see it through. But I've never stepped away from this place. So when I heard they needed my help, I ca running," Lucil replied, her smile bright but her gaze directed at the three nerds, conveying a ssage that would echo in their dreams.
Who was she kidding? She had co mainly because Klaus was there. Although they couldn't think of anyone better to help them with their design crisis, Lucil was just too unruly. But her brilliance was undeniable.
"Then we'll all count on you to co up with sothing entertaining for the trial," Klaus said.
"You an challenging," Lucil shot back with a grin. She knew Klaus was asking for a challenge and she planned to satisfy him with sothing that would keep him on his toes.
"That would be jinxing it," Klaus laughed, smiling back. He craved the challenge, and he knew that if he worked things out well, the next trial would be the challenge he longed for.
Inside Oracle, so much could be achieved. At the end of the day, it was all about computer programs, so anything the mind could conceive could be implented. With him on board, Klaus knew the next trial would be a wild one.
A wicked smile appeared on his face, brimming with excitent at the possibilities ahead.
"We'll start work tomorrow, so spend today settling in. Lucil will be your guide while you're here," Joon said to Klaus before walking off with the others, leaving him with the overly-cheerful Lucil.
"Follow ," she said with a smile, leading Klaus to his room.
"Everything's indoors," she said, showing him around his ridiculously large room. There was a massive bed, a gaming console to access Oracle, and a modeling table where he could bring anything he wanted into virtual reality.
"Aside from the training space on the roof, there's also a pool where you can cool off after a long day," she added, wrapping up the tour after showing him everything.
"Thanks, Lucil. If you don't mind, can you show how this modeling table works?" Klaus asked.
"No problem at all!" Lucil, who seed more than happy to spend as much ti with Klaus as possible, eagerly accepted. She'd already snapped about a million selfies with him by then.
The modeling table was like a computer program made super simple. It had a custom build system that used AI and state-of-the-art image and concept generation software to model anything you could imagine.
"It's like drag-and-drop, but way more advanced. It can bring out anything your brain thinks of. There's even a neural helt that connects your thoughts to the system, so if you can't physically model sothing, AI can pick up the concept straight from your mind," Lucil explained.
Klaus was blown away by how sophisticated yet user-friendly the system was. He already knew he was going to spend a lot of ti using it. He had plenty of ideas to bring into Oracle, and he wanted to make sure when it went public, his spaces would be so of the most popular ones in Oracle.
"Just so you know, you can create literally anything in there—from estates and housing complexes to companies and whatever else you want. My personal favorite is making Easter eggs and scattering them all over Oracle."
"Companies have even started buying spaces in Oracle where they're planning to expand their businesses. You should probably use this ti to build sothing too," Lucil added.
"What are Easter eggs?" Klaus, curious, was more interested in that than anything else.
"In short, they're like tokens—or in my case, skills and techniques—hidden in the virtual world. Whoever finds them gets whatever was placed inside," Lucil said proudly, flashing a smile. That's her own way of giving aback to society.
"That's pretty cool. I'll have to think of sothing." A while later, after she taught him everything about the modeling table, Lucil finally left.
Klaus didn't touch anything. Instead, he sat down and slipped into a ditative state. After a while, he took out his Viper Piercing Needles set, and 120 needles flew out, circling around him. He didn't have the practice balls around to pop, but he could still strengthen his mind by training without them.
He'd be away for four whole weeks, so the least he could do was improve his control over the 120 needles he could currently manage. It would also give him so ti to research other flying weapons.
Before Klaus realized it, he had slipped into a peaceful state, his mind as calm as an ocean. It wasn't until after 4 a.m. that he finally ca back to his senses.
Putting the needles away, he headed to the roof to catch so fresh air until daybreak. Soon, he'd be spending eight hours in Oracle, battling monsters and figuring out ways to improve the realism of the monsters and Zombies they had modeled into the system.
