The Conquest Of Meridian

Chapter 1 the beginning

A long time ago on a different earth, there was this boy who had seen many hardships, and he wanted to change it for the better. He was young at the time to know everything at that moment. One day he woke up to a magic power within him to only see the past and future. His name was Daemon, he was born with white hair that shimmered like snow on a winter day. "It seems like my wish will come true by changing this pathetic world," said Daemon. He wandered around the world studying his enemies, who were just humans but particular ones he would detest. "I will secretly work behind the scenes before I'm ready to take action. “Now I need someone I can trust for this plan to work," said Daemon. He wandered around the city planning, but couldn't think of anything. Daemon decided to go home at midnight. “How was your day?” said Daemon’s mom. “It's fine but I want to improve this imperfect world, it doesn't seem as easy as I wanted it to be,” said Daemon as he sat on the couch looking at the lights. “It's hard to change everything but to go at it one at a time will help you achieve what you want,” said Daemon’s mom. “You're right mom, it might take a bit to know what I want to achieve fully in life,” said Daemon. “I fully support what you do for the future,” said Daemon’s mom. She told him that it would be a hard task to achieve everything all at once, but if he took it one step at a time, he could accomplish his dream. Grateful for her support, Daemon promised to make the world a better place where all individuals could be truly equal, and every child could live a happy life without suffering. “Aren't you starting school tomorrow? You need sleep,” said Daemon’s mom. “I completely forgot about school?” said Daemon as he laughed it out. “Since you know, off you got to your room,” said Daemon’s mom as she softly pushed him toward his room. “I will be up early, now that I’m entering freshman year,” said Daemon as he yawned and headed toward his room for a nice beauty sleep. She nodded her head and went to sleep. Daemon woke up for school and got ready to leave. “Now, my actual work starts once I step inside the school,” said Daemon. Many students passed him and headed toward their class in a rush. “Let’s see, it seems I have some basic class, do they think I don't have the skills to be in advanced classes,” said Daemon. “Why are you standing in the middle of the hall when the bell has rung,” said the girl as she had her arms on her hips. “My loud friend Kaeya seems to have appeared in my presence without notice,” said Daemon as he shrugs and shakes his head. “Hey, now is that how you treat someone who came here to see if you are alright,” said Kaeya as she stared at him. “You're loud, how can I not hear you stomping behind me, I was just thinking,” said Daemon as he looked at the sheet of paper. “Give me a break, you lose focus a little too much and you lose sight of what to do next,” said Kaeya as she sighed at him. “Are you implying that I can't focus on what I plan to achieve,” said Daemon. “You're reading this all wrong but since you're going to class, which ones are you taking?” said Kaeya as she looked at his paper. “They gave me basic classes, I plan to talk to them about this,” said Daemon. “Wow, but you did so well when we were in middle school, you got top grades in our class,” said Kaeya. “Your memory of that time is failing, it's the whole school,” said Daemon as he sighed at her. “I can’t keep up with all of it and I was after you on getting good grades,” said Kaeya as she shrugs at him. “I’ll let you slide on that comment,” said Daemon as he walked away. “Hey wait up,” said Kaeya as she caught up to him. “Don’t you have class and which one do you have?” said Daemon as he got curious. “Advance classes on each subject, I will see you there since you're asking them to change it,” said Kaeya as she headed to class. “She’s so lucky, I’m dealing with a mix-up instead of going to class right away,” said Daemon. He walks towards the office to tell them that there was a mix-up. “Here's your updated class, you may go now,” said the lady as she gave him the new schedule. Thanks as he walked out the door and went to the class that He wanted from the very beginning. “Hello, can I see your schedule?” said the math teacher. Daemon hands him the paper. “Good now, go find an empty seat anywhere, class is starting,” said the math teacher as he wrote on the board. “Over here Daemon!” said Kaeya as she pointed out an empty seat next to her. “Glad you saved a seat for me,” said Daemon as he sat next to her. “We are friends/cousins after all,” said Kaeya. “Yes we are and do you have plans after school?” said Daemon as he thought of something right on the spot. “Nope, I don’t and I guess you're about to tell me your plan,” said Kaeya as she heard him out. “Since you are not busy, we're going to make a club, I'll spare you the details for now since we're in class,” said Daemon. The teacher spoke about which subject he was going to cover for class. They all pay attention to what the teacher wrote on the board. The bell rang, Daemon and Kaeya walked to their next class and some appeared behind them. “Oh, it’s you, or should I say 20th place,” said Kaeya as she laughed at him. “Keep talking and you’ll see what I plan to do,” said the guy. “How scary I didn't think you could be so lame,” said Kaeya. “Now move along, you have no business with us,” said Daemon as he gave off a crimson aura. “If it's a fight you want, come at me!" said the guy as he tried to provoke him. "You're a waste of time and bothering you would make me tired, so have fun fighting someone else," said Daemon as he waved to the guy. “Those two cousins can act cocky but I don’t plan to let them succeed," said the guy as he angrily walked away. "I'm amazed that guy can't take a hint," said Kaeya as she shook her head. "He's mad since he can't beat us, what a shame, my big plan will cause disobedient people to submit to me," said Daemon. "Shouldn't you tell me your big plan or am I just going to have to guess," said Kaeya. "We still have a long day of school and today we're going to make a club and then I'll announce my plan to you and our most trusted people," said Daemon. "Hope this plan won't make you regret it in the future," said Kaeya. "It will be perfect you'll see," said Daemon. The day passed by as quickly as it started. "Now it's time to get to the clubroom and everyone will meet there soon," said Daemon as he opened the rusty door that was rusty. "Huh, couldn't you have asked them for a better room, I thought you had standards Daemon," said Kaeya as she coughed from the dusty room. As they turned on the lights and saw the room had potential. "It was difficult even to get a new club to run so they gave us this super old one and now deal with it, my soul left me when I saw it, so don't remind me," said Daemon as he sobs on the inside. "You're not expecting me to clean this by myself are you?" said Kaeya as she stared at him. “Hey Daemon and Kaeya we arrived,” said everyone. “Nice to see you show up at last,” said Daemon. We’ll grab the supplies that are needed as they all left and Kaeya stayed behind. "Of course not, we are all pitching in on it, we can split the work and make it fair how's that sound?” said Daemon. “What work are we splitting?” said Kaeya. “I plan on decorating since it's an important role," said Daemon. "Cut the crap your technically saying that I'm not going to get my hands dirty, I got a manicure for my nails yesterday, am I right?" said Kaeya. "You sure do know my routine, ha I mean after all we're cousins, I expected you to know me well Kaeya," said Daemon as he laughed. "Looks like everyone has arrived and brought cleaning tools," said Kaeya. "Well get cleaning time is wasting you guys, this place isn't going to clean itself, now is it?” said Daemon as he left to get the decorations. “Of course he would leave just like that, typical I see," said Kaeya. They all got to work making the club room clean and shiny and leaving no spot unclean. "Whoa nice job this place looks like it's been clean this entire time," said Daemon as he brought the decorations into the room. "Nice for you to suddenly show up when we got done cleaning," said Kaeya as she looked at him with an upset expression. "Hey for your information, I had to pick the best things for this room we are using, so don't get touchy about me taking my sweet time,” said Daemon as he placed his things on the table. “Oh brother, this will take a while,” said Kaeya as she fell on the floor from exhaustion. “No time to waste, I still need all of you, so get up,” said Daemon. Everyone looked at each other and fainted from the hard labor they had to go through. “Not you guys too, can’t you guys even handle doing a bit more work,” said Daemon as he decorated the whole room the way he liked it. They soon got up from their light nap on the ground. “Wow, I'm amazed by the way you set this room up while we all fell asleep,” said Kaeya as she looked around. “I can't depend on you, plus I feel that you ruined it anyway thanks for sleeping, it made my job easier,” said Daemon as he drank his iced coffee. “Very funny but, now we need to get back to business right Daemon,” said Kaeya as she nodded at him. “Almost forgot my big plan, thanks Kaeya,” said Daemon as he cleared his throat. Daemon had already set everyone's name at their seat. “Now that we have taken our seats, Daemon, go on with your big idea,” said Kaeya as she waited for his big news. “Before that, why don’t we introduce ourselves again,” said Daemon as he stood up to go first. My full name is Daemon Yule Astral. My name is Kaeya Stella Astrea. My name is Mi Young Mun, as she sat down. Next is me and my name is Ji-Hu Eui, nice to meet you all as he sat down. Seems like I’m the 5th one, my name is Jaw-Long Li, pleased to be in your service as he bowed. 6th is me, my name is Anong Suwan, I’m pretty shy but I know my way around things as she nods to everyone. Hi, my name is Chien Thu, and he greets everyone. My name is Ai Le as she nods her head. My name is Clover Lilac, as he sat back down. “There seem to be a lot of us here?” said Kaeya as she looked at the paper. “Some haven't shown up yet? They'll be here soon,” said Daemon. The remaining students appeared and apologized for making everyone wait. “No worries, you can make it up to everyone by going to your assigned seats and beginning to introduce yourself,” said Daemon. “Hello everyone, nice to meet you all, my name is Penelope Lupin and I hope we all get along on this long journey as she sat down. It's now my turn, I guess, and my name is Sylvie Celine as she sat back down. My name is Omari Ade, and he waved to everyone. Azura Cielo, it was a pleasure to meet you all as she smiled. I'm the last one it seems, well my name is Stern Otto. “Now that everyone introduces themself, all of us are from different parts of the world and have many different areas, am I right?” said Daemon. “Yes, you're right, we have seen different things and studied the world of their technology,” said Mi Young. “Time to represent the country you all came from and the issues they face,” said Kaeya as she cleared her voice. “Who wants to go 1st and volunteer?” said Daemon as he clears his throat. “I represent North Korea and I have traveled all over the north side and I have seen many problems that need to get fixed, I read all the resources that were available to North Korea and some of it was false, and it's terrible that the rich can live normal while the poor lives in a bad state with no help and have to make ends meet for their family,” said Ji-Hu. “Another issue is Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman things that happen there,” said Ji-Hu as he got a little upset. “For South Korea, our issue is drugs, domestic violence here and there, and drunk driving but it seems to be an issue all over the world,” said Mi Young. “I represent Thailand and the issue is restrictions on freedom of expression and torture and enforced disappearances, human rights defenders, and violence,” said Anong Suwan. “I represent China, the main issue is the cost of housing and medical care and the population is also a key issue,” said Jaw-long. “I represent North Vietnam and the main issue there is economic reform and food production they rely on in the south,” said Chien Thu.

Chapter 2 Allies

“I represent South Vietnam and the issue there is corruption, nepotism, and administrative ineptitude,” said Ai Le. “I represent Japan and I know there's a lot of sad history that Japan has had and it was horrible, the 1st issue is the comfort women that happened from 1932 to 1945,” said Kaeya. “It was the government that ruled over that time and when I learned of this it made me upset that cruel things can happen when all those women wanted was a peaceful life and the other main issue was labor costs and political issues along with petty fines and the death penalty,” said Kaeya. Hi I represent South America and the issue is the environment, soil erosion Water Pollution, and water Scarcity along with sea level rises and poverty, an issue everywhere and this is a significant problem,” said Clover Lilac. “Well, I represent North America and the issue is conflict and political issues and shootings and violence and stealing,” said Penelope Lupin. “I represent France and it’s known for many things and sightseeing, and the key issues are the undergrounds where everyday people and tourists get kidnapped for their looks and beauty if you are not careful, and this issue needs to be fixed,” said Sylvie. “I represent Africa and their issues are almost the same as some of the other countries but a bit different and the issue there is hunger and malnutrition, climate change threat to economic, social and environment, disease,” said Omari Ade. “The country I represent is Mexico and the major issues are the dangerous city located in Mexico and the other main things are crime, violence, kidnapping and human trafficking, human migration, and Discrimination,” said Azura Cielo. “I represent Germany and we were known for the war a long time ago, the significant issues we deal with are surveillance and freedom of media, women's rights, climate change policy and Impacts, and Racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia, including violent hate crimes,” said Stern Otto. “I represent England and the issues there are drug abuse, violent crime, teenage delinquency, family breakdown, welfare dependency, poor urban environments, educational failure, poverty,” said Daemon. “Sounds like everyone has finished on what they represent so onto the next phase,” said Kaeya as she glanced at Daemon. “The reason I invited you all here is to clean this world of the mistakes that were made in the past and selfish actions that cause people to suffer,” said Daemon. “It seems we represent our countries and the major issues of past and present issues,” said Kaeya. “Why don’t we move on to the real reason, why we're here from almost every part of the world,” said Daemon. “Now that is over, why not tell us what you plan to do with all the knowledge we acquired from our countries along with the places we visit and research,” said Kaeya. Everyone was curious and eager to know what was going on. They all leaned in, listening intently to the conversation at hand. It was clear that what they discussed was of great importance and piqued everyone's interest. The anticipation in the air was as they waited for more information to be shared. “It seems everyone is waiting for the news, I did make you guys wait but I will now tell you the big news,” said Daemon as he took a deep breath. “I want to change the world and make it a place where everyone has equal rights and no fighting and people getting along without hurting the innocents,” said Daemon. It was a truly moving speech that touched the hearts of everyone in the room. They were so moved that they couldn't help but shed tears of joy and happiness. “A few things moved all of you I said just like that,” said Daemon. “We can tell you mean it since it’s coming from your heart,” said Kaeya. “Aren't you all sweet for that, why don’t we drink some tea, I bet you guys are tired from talking a lot today,” said Daemon as he made the tea himself. “For once you brew it yourself, half of the time when I visit, you tell me to do it, or when you are at my place I still have to brew the tea myself,” said Kaeya. “Hey, I take offense to that remark, I just like it when others brew the tea plus it tells me if you put any dedication into the pot before boiling,” said Daemon. “Since you made it yourself, let's see how good your skills are,” said Kaeya as blew on the tea. “So how it is, not bad right?” said Daemon. Everyone was stunned by how good it was and was mind-blown by the Daemon tea skill. “You even made it better than me,” said Kaeya. “Cousin you're just going to have to up your game on this,” said Daemon as he laughed and won his victory for the day. “Everyone will have a turn at making refreshments for the club along with snacks,” said Kaeya. They agreed to it and continued to enjoy their tea for the time being. “My question is when we take action, what will you call this planet,” said Kaeya. “Instead of Earth number 40 is what they call it since there are so many earths out there in this vast universe,” said Daemon. “I didn't even know so many existed out there and I’m not saying that other planets don't exist,” said Ji-Hu. “My thing is why do many people think that the world could be a square, are they idiots?” said Azura. “It could be due to how we can walk in a straight patch and not land upside down,” said Anong. “They should get it in their thick skull that the world doesn't work like that, how foolish of them,” said Jaw-Long. “I doubt they would care about what we have to say,” said Chien. “Is there any way to make them realize that half of the things they do are wrong? Their so-called equality doesn't work,” said Sylvie. “People are cruel and full of lies aren’t we also made up of them as well,” said Ai. “Yes but we want real change, not this garbage they dish out to everyone like it's okay,” said Clover. “We have to consider the animals as well, they have done nothing wrong and many have died due to the recklessness of people driving around like bugs,” said Stern. “That is true, it’s dumb they don't realize that animals have souls as we do and feelings,” said Penelope. “We have a lot to fix but with all our knowledge we can fix this planet and make it flourish,” said Omari. “Let’s work hard on this long project of ours and make it a success,” said Mi-Young. “That's great to hear from all of you and let’s do our very best, shall we,” said Kaeya as she cheered for their future success. “This is why I picked all of you guys for this project, I'm grateful for the assistance in this,” said Daemon as he raised his teacup in the air and everyone raised theirs. “What is the plan for world change? Said Kaeya. “What we all learn is the 1st key and analyzing and what we can do with it and to study all the missing parts that are,” said Daemon. “This world is so big, how can we accomplish that?” said Mi-Young. “Think about all the countries that were said and those that weren't those are the missing parts we need,” said Daemon. “Is there a deadline or do we have enough time to finish?” Said Azura. “Not really we have a penalty of time, this club is for planning things thoroughly,” said Daemon. “You want us to pick the remaining place that wasn't mentioned and see what the issue is over there right?” said Kaeya as she looked at the book. “That doesn't seem to be too hard, we can just travel there on our break and write down all the hardships that happen,” said Penelope. Everyone nodded and agreed and they all looked at all the books to see the remaining place they had to head to once their break started. “Gather around and choose where you want to go,” said Daemon. “We should pick 4 each and make it easier and for the remaining, we’ll all go together,” said Kaeya. They began to pick out the other countries and got started on planning. “When spring break happens, all of us will report back in to tell the news of their discovery,” said Daemon. They nodded and continued to enjoy the tea and after-school clubs ended. “Hey Daemon, what name did you come up with for the club?” said Kaeya as she walked beside him. “The name of our small little club is Meridian,” said Daemon. “Where did you come up with that name?” said Kaeya. “It came to me in a dream, the name kept echoing in my head and I thought it sounded like a great name to use,” said Daemon. “From now on we have to study and be the best if we want our goal to be a reality,” said Kaeya as she stretched her arm into the air. “I have my grades covered and you should work harder at number 2 on the ranking list of the elite school we're in,” said Daemon as he walked off. “Hey don't count me short on this, you're always head because you study every day without break,” said Kaeya as she walked ahead of him. “Look here cousin, I’m just saying to step up your game or that guy will take 2nd place from you,” said Daemon as he passed her. “You mean the guy with the funny name and attitude, ha he got nothing on me, I can say that with confidence,” said Kaeya as she passed him. They began to run to see who could make it home faster. They lived next to each other and both of their moms are related to each other making Daemon and Kaeya cousins. “You can't beat me, eat my dust,” said Kaeya. “I’ll be kissing my shoe if you lose to me,” said Daemon as he ran faster. “Not in your life, I won't,” said Kaeya as she beat him. “You won't be lucky in the next race and watch out for water leakage on the way in,” said Daemon as he cracked a smile. “Thanks for the concern but watch your step on the way in,” said Kaeya as she smirked. They open the door and look around to see if the close was clear and when they let their guard down a soap bar fell on Kaeya’s head along with water falling on her head. “OUCH! WHAT THE HELL, this is my favorite outfit,” said Kaeya as she pouted and walked up the stairs soaking wet. A giant cake appeared in front of him and a pie slammed into his face since he couldn't see, he fell onto the cake and landed on the ground. “AH MY FACE AND MY OUTFIT!” said Daemon as he sulked and went to wash up. They started screaming in the shower due to the incident at the door. Kaeya’s parents were confused since they didn't see anything and all they saw was water and soap on the ground. Daemon’s mom saw smash cake and pie on the ground. “He got me good with that prank but I won't lose next time,” said Kaeya. “She might have gotten me with a tempting cake that got ruined and it had to be a cheesecake, how could she, I’ll get her next time for that,” said Daemon as he sobs quietly in the shower. They finished up their shower after a long day of school and after-school club. The next morning at 6:00 am they got up and got ready, talked to their parents, and left for school. “How did you like the water and soap prank,” said Daemon as he laughed. “That lame prank of yours wasn't funny and how did you like my prank,” said Kaeya as she laughed at him. “How dare you, I like cheesecake and you go and tarnish my favorite thing, which I love eating the most in the world, you have some nerves,” said Daemon. “Hey, what about my outfit that was the prettiest one I ever made,” said Kaeya. “It seems we're equal, it was a good prank you came up with,” said Daemon. “You're not too bad with pranks either and let’s see who has the best prank,” said Kaeya. They weren't mad at each other, just upset at their belongings that got ruined. They shook in agreement, laughed it off, and headed to school, they waited for the bell and went to class, they only had a few classes together. The club members would all meet for lunch, club meetings, and occasional outside meetups. From behind the scenes, the guy would take notes of their activity and what they were planning. Kaeya turned around and saw him being sneaky and kicked him to the ground. “Violence doesn't suit you,” said the guy. “Rank 20, I suggest you go away, you're a pest, what do you want?” said Kaeya. “Nothing and don't call me that I have a name you know,” said the guy as he got up and tried to punch her. She swung her arm at him and he fell on his face within 5 seconds. “It seems luck was on your side, I’m not fighting back due to not wanting to injure your face,” said the guy. “Ha, quite lying to yourself, you want to hurt me back for all those times for kicking your *** across the hall or into the classroom for being slow,” said Kaeya as she glared at him.

“I only let you win so don't act proud of yourself, it’s nothing to be proud of, it was sheer luck,” said the guy. “Admit that you love pain and love getting your *** whooped by a girl,” said Kaeya as she laughed at him. “I admit nothing, you got some nerves, girl for saying that with a straight face,” said the guy as he got in front of her face. “The little dog has the guts to stand up to his master,” said Kaeya as she squeezed his face and pierced the side of his cheek. “I’m no one's dog, get that straight in your head and you being 2nd rank is a fluke,” said the guy as he kicked her in the stomach. “My, aren't we selfish, get yourself to the nurse or I might have fun kicking your *** in there, so you don't bother me all day,” said Kaeya as she walked off. “You don't even know my name and you call yourself 2nd rank and you can't remember the top 100 ranks,” said the guy. “Your name isn't important, will it get me anywhere by remembering it, no so yeah, and if it makes you feel better why don't you tell me your name,” said Kaeya as she stopped briefly to hear him out. My name is Orpheus Zelophehad as he looked at her. “I heard you out, now if you excuse me I have a class to attend,” said Kaeya as she left. “Wow, I didn't think you heard him out for once,” said Daemon as he closed his book. “He’s hopeless and useless and he has no manners,” said Kaeya as they went to class. “Watch your back the next time we meet,” said Orpheus as he went to the nurse. “He thinks he can beat me, I won't be losing to him any time soon,” said Kaeya as she focused on her assignments. “Let’s see how the future goes for the world,” said Daemon as he worked on his assignment. The day went by as fast as it started and they all headed to the club. They called the club Meridian and Daemon decided to go with that name. “Now can I have everyone's attention? This meeting is about how we plan for the future of a new society but it takes a lot of planning,” said Daemon as he took a deep breath. “Since all of us are from countries it is better if you all would govern your area but all of you will keep in contact with me, I will be the main one ruling and you guys are my equal to the end of our lives,” said Daemon. “Sounds fair but are you sure no one will get in your way,” said Sylvie. “I’ll be able to handle that with all of your help,” said Daemon. “What if the governments get in your way, how will you handle them?” said Penelope. “That's a good question to ask, I made some designs to make androids which will help us protect children from abuse from some teachers,” said Daemon. “That's all good but what if they go out of control and the function goes haywire, what do you plan to do about it,” said Kaeya. “Cousin, I have a plan, It’s called looking into their coding and making no errors and they will be tested a lot of times before being shown to the world,” said Daemon. “I can help you make the androids but what do you want them to do?” said Ji-Hu as he gave him a curious look. “To protect the innocents and the children who did no wrong and to fight against anyone that goes against me,” said Daemon. “Seems easy to do,” said Ji-Hu as he began to make the program with his laptop. “I will also be helping you with this since we have to make them, so they don't turn against us,” said Daemon. “Won’t it be hard to control people because they're not the easiest to deal with,” said Omari as he calmly looked at Daemon. “The only way to show who’s boss is to take the head of the president they look up to and we take their precious light source,” said Daemon. “Amazing plan but we have to time this perfectly or it won’t work,” said Ai as she looked at everyone. “If you don't act soon the world might fall apart because of the idiot president we have,” said Stern. “We can't just act as if we can walk to their face and say hey were going to take your position and kick them out just like that,” said Azura. “Hey, why is no one asking what if someone takes your place and kills you?” said Chien. “I’m not letting anyone take it or kill me for it and that dimwit it will be easy in no time,” said Daemon. “The future is uncertain but we won't know unless we try,” said Clover. “What else did we need to know to improve,” said Anong. “All of you will relax, we’ll discuss things later, we have a lot to do and we have to write what the club does, we don't want to get disbanded for not explaining what our club does,” said Daemon. “We have to hide the fact that we are using this club to rearrange this world so we are telling them this is a historical club and it’s not lying we are studying the past and different parts of the world,” said Kaeya. “Sounds fine but that would mean extra work for all of us,” said Sylvie. “Now onto the next thing is coding since we didn't get to finish talking about it,” said Ji-Hu. “The androids will have to be guarded, they have a mind of their own but were not foolish enough to let them rampage like monsters,” said Jaw-Long. “We will work on the androids and coding,” said Daemon as he quickly drew the design and devised a plan. “Whoa that's some planning you came up with and you did the android's design,” said Azura as she glanced at the design. “Azura, since you’re good with clothing I want to leave you in charge of giving them a unique design for them to wear,” said Daemon. “Leave that up to me then, I will show you the sketches of the design I came up with myself,” said Azura. “What else will today's meeting be about?” said Kaeya. “Not that much, It’s all about coordinating our plans, but I do need you to pick up some tools I left in my locker, It can be heavy so be sure to ask someone here to help you,” said Daemon. “More of your heavy lifting, great and can't someone help me with this,” said Kaeya. “I’ll help you out on that,” said Chien as he walked with her to the locker. “We all have our part to do, so move along, and thanks,” said Daemon as he continued to work on the plans along with Jaw-Long and Ji-Hu. “This must be the locker and he said this is the code,” said Kaeya as she opened the locker and saw how big the machine was. “He really needs to choose his words carefully, this machine weighs a ton,” said Kaeya as she tried to carry it out independently before asking for any help. “I’ll go get the hand truck dollies, It might be impossible to carry it back to the club room without breaking our back and our club is upstairs on the 3rd floor,” said Chien. “Not trying to complain here but he really needs to choose the right person for the job,” said Kaeya as she gently placed it on the ground. Chien came back with a hand truck dollies. “I’ll help you lift it on her and you can carry the wires and small laptops, I will push this back, so you don't have to do that much,” said Chien. “How nice of you, Chien, that you would help me out,” said Kaeya as she gathered the remaining things. They headed to the elevator. “We're back so how's the planning going,” said Kaeya as she and Chien placed the stuff down. “It’s going well, I think by tomorrow we’ll be able to build them, we just do not know how to do the skins yet but, it won't be too long until we find out how to copy to replicate skins just like us and they will have all different sorts of skins so there will be no discrimination,” said Daemon. “Oh that will be amazing to see,” said Chien as he looked at the designs. “Will they be able to move around or do you have a small prototype to show us,” said Kaeya. “Oh we did make a small one,” said Daemon as he took the cloth off of the small android. “This one has a cute appearance doesn't it,” said Ji-Hu. “We made this little one here to help us to see if anything goes wrong when we make a bigger one,” said Jaw-Long. “So cute, what's the name you guys plan to give it,” said Ai. “We haven't thought that far yet, and thanks for suggesting that,” said Ji-Hu as he looked at all of the programs they placed in the little android. “It’s your call, you should be the one to name it, Daemon,” said Jaw-Long. Daemon held the little android in his hand and tried to think of a name that would fit it. “Artemis is a good name, so what do you all think,” said Daemon as he looked at everyone. It’s a great name as they all agreed at the same time. “Now let’s set up the equipment since Kaeya and Chien brought them back,” said Jaw-Long as he separated the wires. “How on earth did you fit this machine in there and when did you place it there?” said Kaeya as she stared at him. “Don't have to stare at me hard, I’ll tell you. It’s simple, I secretly came here at night and placed it in my locker, which was already big,” said Daemon. “The second part sounds about right but the first one seems like a joke,” said Kaeya as she looked at the machine. “Fine you got me, I told the school that it was a project and they said it was fine to bring it here,” said Daemon. “Now that sounds better than that joke you told me,” said Kaeya as she walked away to study since she had to help Daemon out. “Let's see what else Artemis can do?’ said Ji-Hu as he gathered everything to test Artemis' intelligence. “What do we teach him first,” said Jaw-Long as he glanced at the things placed on the table. “Let’s start with basic things like math, reading, and also understanding others' feelings just by hearing them out and responding to them with honest options,” said Daemon as he grabbed the math problem and placed it in front of Artemis. “Try solving it,” said Ji-Hu as he gave him the pencil. Artemis picked up the pencil and started solving each math problem one by one and finished it in 5 minutes. “Wow what a record, let's see what grade we will give you for this,” said Jaw-Long as he looked at the answers and handed them to Ji-Hu to look at. “Now that's impressive but he needs to learn more before we even think of making more like him,” said Daemon as he gave the sheet of paper a look as well. They all gave Artemis his score which is a 100 and he got excited and jumped on their shoulder, showing them his gratitude. “Aw Artemis no need to thank us you were the one who answered the questions right, now onto the next thing on the list,” said Daemon. “Hey everyone, I finished the report, so I’m heading out to give this to them,” said Kaeya as she left. They all thanked her and went back to their studies. “Well if it isn’t rank 2 Kaeya walking in the hall instead of studying for our big exams to rank us, I will soon win your spot,” said Orpheus as he appeared next to her. “Oh, I’m here on important matters, and as for studying I finished a while back, and I won’t be losing that spot any time soon,” said Kaeya as she glared at him. “We will see how long that rank will be yours,” said Orpheus as he walked away grinning. “How troublesome but I got to give them this before their office hours end,” said Kaeya as she rushed off. “Here is our report from the club,” said Kaeya as she handed the office lady the reports. She checked over it, nodded her head, and told Kaeya that every month they have to submit a report about club activities. Kaeya understood and headed back to the club room and informed them about the report and they all agreed that they take turns doing the reports. “It seems that Artemis understands others' feelings but he still needs work, this is a major progress that will lead us closer to our goal,” said Daemon. “Tomorrow we will start building our first big android and Artemis will guide him and her and teach them what they should and shouldn't do,” said Jaw-Long. “Everyone club is dismissed, see you all tomorrow,” said Kaeya as she waved goodbye to them. “Now let’s clean and head out ourselves,” said Daemon as he dusted the shelves and Kaeya cleaned up the books and placed them away. “All done, are you ready to leave now?” said Kaeya as she washed her hands. “I'm done, you're the slow poke here,” said Daemon as he started laughing. “Watch it, you can’t keep joking around, let’s go since we're both done,” said Kaeya. “It’s a joke, don’t take it seriously,” said Daemon as they walked home joking with each other. “Tomorrow is going to be a busy day and we're having exams,” said Kaeya as she exhaled. “You studied hard didn't you, so don’t feel so down, I heard from that low-life Orpheus that he was going to steal your 2nd place title,” said Daemon. “He wishes but in the end, he’s a sore loser and why isn't he challenging your 1 rank title,” said Kaeya.
