The Mech Lord

[No! You are doing it wrong! Read the Instructions carefully. That's the wrong arrangement of the circuit!] 

A frown immediately appeared on Leo's face as he once again opened up the pages of the Inheritance book to check it up.

He was currently logged into the [Virtual Projection] and was using it to work on a dummy version of the Bionic Battle Arm, and it wasn't coming together well.

[Don't you understand the theory behind the flow of energy? What's with this junk that you made?] Arhtur wasn't holding back at all. He was as merciless as usual.

"Why don't you just tell me what to do? You know how to do this!" Leo cried in frustration. This A.I. was actually aware of the process. He could literally guide Leo with each and every step and could help him get it done. 

To be honest, Leo didn't even want that much. He just hoped that this guy would come out to help when he found it difficult to do things. But nope, it didn't. The A.I. was adamant on making Leo do everything on his own. It would barely drop a hint or two when Leo spent hours and still failed to figure something out.

[That won't do. I don't wanna limit your potential. You need to be capable enough to figure things out on your own. If not, you won't be able to surpass my Creator. You will be limited, and that is something he didn't wish for.]

Leo could only sigh as he once again dived into the theory portion, trying to gain a better understanding of the principle being used here.

Time passed…

It had been a few hours and Leo was still sitting there with a frown on his face. He was very close to catching onto something.

[It's time for your training.] Arthur's voice rang out in his mind and a vein popped up on Leo's face. No one likes to be distrurbed in crucial moments like this. Leo surely would have beaten the crap out of this A.I. if he wasn't hiding inside his head.

[You want to beat the crap out of me?] Arthur asked in an emotionless voice.

"Stop reading my mind!" Leo grumbled with a dark expression.

[Well, if you want to beat me up. I can give you a chance.] 

The next instant, the world around changed as blue grid lines appeared behind the disappearing scenery. Soon, Leo was left standing all alone in the world of blue lines.

A second later, a transparent figure resembling his own appeared in front of him.

[Shall we start? You can beat me now.]

Leo felt sweat forming on his forehead. He was starting to regret giving this guy control of his schedule.  Arthur had told him that he would have a fifty percent chance of victory if he followed its routine, and Leo just gave a nod making him in-charge.

What was he supposed to do?

He had a fight against that-

'Wait! What was his name?' 

It was only now that Leo realized that he didn't even know the person's name. People would really be speechless if they found out about it.

[You better pay attention to your opponent.]

Artur's voice suddenly rang in Leo's head. And he snapped out of his thought only to see a feet an inch away from his face.

"Bang!"

That was the beginning of the torture...

"It certainly is starting to look a bit better." Leo smiled as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with the towel in his hands. It seemed that his workout was paying off. 

He had just come out of the [Virtual Projection] and his wounds had miraculously disappeared. This was really something Leo would cry in happiness for. If not for it, he would have to go through hell 24/7.

"You still got a long way-nya." Aiden shook his head. Most of the increase in Leo's stat had come with a face off against that Zest in the library. He still actually had to properly adapt to that increase. Even now, he wasn't able to make 100 percent use of the stats that he currently had.

"It's time to set off," Leo muttered as he went to get changed. Today was actually a holiday, but Leo had plans. He was going to visit the club, and try out the thing he had been studying in the [Virtual Projection].

Within a few minutes, Leo was all ready to leave.

"Come inside of it." Leo took out Nyanden's storage capsule and placed it in front of him.

"No way-nya!" Aiden immediately refused and smacked it with it's paw. He really was starting to behave like a cat.

"Amelia has been searching for you all this time. If you get caught no one will be saving you." Leo looked at him with a helpless smile on his face.

The little cat's face immediately turned dark and he reluctantly went inside of it.

Leo smiled as he picked the storage capsule and kept it into his pocket.

…

"Mom! It has to be somewhere around.." 

"I am trying dear...:"

As soon as Leo got out of the place, he heard Amelia and Viona's voices from downstairs. The Cat hunt for Aiden was reaching its peak it seemed.

"Have you seen it anywhere?" 

One he got downstairs, Amelia came to him with a worried look on her face.

"Umm, I haven't.." Leo forced a smile on his face as he bypassed her and left the place.

…..

On arriving at Academy, Leo didn't waste any of his time and headed straight for the Club.

Within a minute, he arrived at the place and as he swiped his I.D. card to enter the place, he heard some noises from inside.

'Hmmn?'

He immediately pulled the door, and the next moment his eyes constricted.
