One year had passed, and the current situation was very good for each of them. Gens Sheyan had mastered the martial arts he studied, plus an additional martial art called Arvatas, which was taught by Touzen Ishigari. He had also mastered all the formulas and codes in the book given by Yananaig. Touzen had also become more proficient in the Arvatas martial art, because he often trained with Gens Sheyan as well. Besides that, each member of the Shayan group had mastered martial arts techniques named Shira Zhen and Xilaodo. Of course, these techniques were taught by Yananaig.
However, it wasn't just them who made progress. At that time, the Geniuses were also increasingly advancing in robot and AI creation. A new discovery resulting from the Geniuses' work was the creation of a robot that could copy or create a new body for a creature after the robot had eliminated that creature. Gusa had also successfully stolen data on the special robots owned by Alifade. And Alifade had successfully developed the serum he loved, False Kin. Initially, the serum could only manipulate the mind of one human per serum. Now, he had successfully modified it to affect thousands of humans with just one serum. The serum also didn't need to be injected; one only needed to inhale its aroma.
Gusa also heard news about Alifade's development or plan to modify the False Kin serum. He just smiled and thought Alifade was truly foolish. Gusa thought that if Alifade were him, modifying the serum would be very easy, because Gusa had a tool that functioned to modify the properties of a serum. But Gusa didn't care about that, as long as he was successful in stealing Alifade's robot data.
After successfully stealing the data, Gusa hurriedly transferred the stolen data into his very ordinary robots. As a result, his AI robots successfully became special robots on par with Alifade's AI robots. Ah, of course, on par! That robot was none other than Alifade's own robot that Gusa had managed to copy!
Gusa then planned several things after successfully copying Alifade's AI robots.
"Ah, finally finished. One year, huh... Haha, Alifade is such a hassle! Having thousands of crazy AI robots with abilities like this, of course I'd be troubled stealing them? Hahaha. Alright, first I will attack Alifade... then after he's gone... I will steal all his robots, and after that... I-I will be, the k-king of the Geniuses in this world! HAHAHAHAHAHA, but I must also be cautious... but no need to worry! I've made a body shield from anti-serum material! As the name suggests, this shield isn't big and hard; it's shaped like a suit jacket, and as elastic as a typical suit jacket! But the difference is... this suit cannot be penetrated by needles or serum!" said Gusa, talking to himself in front of his AI robots.
Sfx: brrring, brrring, brrring (the sound of an incoming call on Alifade's cellphone)
"Wow, someone's calling? I wonder who..." said Alifade while hurriedly picking up his cellphone. However, after seeing the caller's name, Alifade made a happy smiling expression.
"FINALLY! GUSA! (before answering), ahem, ahem, hello Gusa? How are you? Any news about that intruder?" Alifade asked Gusa.
"Ah, about the intruder... your robot is still focused on surveilling him before it eliminates him!" Gusa answered over the phone.
"Ah, I see... So what do you need, calling me?" Alifade asked Gusa.
"T-that? Can we meet tomorrow?" Gusa asked.
"Yes! Of course! Where do you want to meet?" Alifade asked in a very innocent tone.
"T-that, I want to show you a place! I found a place where there's absolutely no AI network. I plan to collaborate with you on this, Alifade!" said Gusa, pretending to invite Alifade to cooperate.
"Ah, alright. But for the time... I can only meet at 14:14," Gusa answered.
"Ah, of course, no problem! See you later!" Gusa's final response before hanging up.
"Hahahahah, excellent! Excellent, Gusa! You called me to schedule your own death! Hahahah, ah no, I won't kill him! After all, I owe him a debt; he gave me a bit of fun game hahaha," said Alifade while laughing, with an impatient feeling enveloping him.
"PFT..... HAHAHAHHA, you're so smart, Alifade! But.... AHAHAHAHAHAH, y-you, he outright stated the time of his death so blatantly ahahahahha!" said Gusa while laughing, in a situation similar to Alifade's.
After Gusa finished laughing happily and feeling impatient for tomorrow's meeting, he was also impatient to see the new place he had found, a place that had no AI network whatsoever. He also intended to create or add an AI network to that place after his plan was complete.
Sfx: Sshhhh Duarr...
"Ehhhh, you're insane, Gens! You've really become a monster now! Even I'm scared looking at you," said Touzen while watching Gens trying to unleash an element resulting from his training.
"Ah, you! You're the one who looks like a monster! Your martial art... the one called Arvatas, is completely different when you use it!" said Gens, aiming to praise Touzen.
"Ah, you! I'm serious about the ability I saw in you, especially since you look much calmer now after using it," Touzen stated, emphasizing a fact about Gens.
"You're also amazing! Touzennnn darling.." said Thea, who suddenly appeared beside Touzen.
"Ah... Thea, smooch smooch..." said Touzen while...
"Crazy people!" said Gens while looking away.
"Ah... I wonder if my child has been born yet?" Gens said very softly.
"Touzen! It seems like Gens said something," said Thea while stopping Touzen's action.
"Ahkkh, yes, you're right. Hey Gens! What did you say?!" Touzen asked while shouting.
"Ah, nothing! You're just being pessimistic!" Gens answered, also shouting.
Touzen just fell silent after hearing Gens's unrelated answer. After that, Touzen went back to being affectionate with Thea, while Gens could only gaze at the sky far away from him.
The next day had arrived, and time passed until 14:14, which meant Alifade and Gusa had met.
"Yo! I'm over here, Alifade!" said Gusa while waving his hand.
"Ah! So you're there?!" Alifade answered while hurriedly approaching Gusa.
