“Tanaka, we’re about to enter the virtual classroom for class. Do you have any questions?”
Tanaka Katsuto couldn't hold back his anger, and the virtual teacher saw it.
“No, nothing. Sorry.” Tanaka Katsuto immediately backed down. Even though he was indeed the son of a school leader, he wouldn't dare to be too reckless at school. After all, this school was called Arasaka Academy, not Tanaka Academy.
“Then please put on your Dreamwalk device as soon as possible and connect to our network.”
“Ok, alright.”
Tanaka Katsuto glared at David fiercely, then lay back in his hacker chair and started connecting to the network.
David, naturally, didn’t have time to pay attention to him. He put on his Dreamwalk headband, then pulled out the network cable under the hacker chair and plugged it into the headband's interface, while also praying in his heart: “Don't let anything go wrong!”
The device started up, and in an instant, David and the other students were in a virtual classroom.
“Alright, class, our first lesson is meditation in the Green Meadow Classroom. Meditation can help us calm our minds, so that we can focus more on our studies later…”
“Did it start?” David wondered in his heart. He didn't feel anything unusual, and he didn’t notice any abnormal behavior from the teacher or the students.
On the other hand, Lucy and the others in the van were delighted.
“It’s here, it’s started!”
Lucy: “The data is huge, it takes ten seconds to download one thousandth of it. This speed is already considered very fast.”
“Then we’ll just wait.” Jiang Heng said nonchalantly. Ten seconds for one thousandth, so it would take 10,000 seconds to download the entire thing, which is less than three hours.
Arasaka Academy, being the best high school in Night City, has a truly vast knowledge base. Three hours to download the whole thing is not slow at all. Jiang Heng had some learning materials from before his time travel that took longer than three hours to download.
However, it should be noted that the materials would only download automatically when David's Dreamwalk device was connected to the school's network, which means that the download would be interrupted if David didn't go to class, or didn't use the Dreamwalk device to attend class.
This was fine, though. As long as they weren't discovered, the download would eventually be completed.
…
Time passed slowly, and the data was downloaded bit by bit.
Lucy, the three of them kept checking the progress bar. If they found anything unusual, they would remotely control the virus program to self-destruct, which could maximize the safety of David and the secrecy of their personnel.
Fortunately, everything went as planned without any hiccups. A little after two in the afternoon, the data was fully downloaded.
Immediately, Lucy remotely controlled the virus program to self-destruct and eliminate evidence.
By now, their task was complete, and completed perfectly, without attracting the slightest bit of attention from Arasaka Academy.
Mann: “That’s awesome, it’s finally done, and it’s so perfect.”
Pila also danced with joy, saying: “Haha, this commission, that four-eyed freak won’t have anything to say. We didn’t cause a single stir.”
“Ugh, it’s a shame that there’s nothing for me to do. I was planning to cause chaos at Arasaka Academy. We stirred up the bio-tech scene last time, and if we burn the place down again at Arasaka’s doorstep, then we’d be famous!” Fatty-legged loli, Rebecca, said in a mischievous manner.
Dong~
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Heng knocked her little head. “What are you thinking? If we really did that, we'd be living a life of unrest for the rest of our lives.”
“I was just saying. ” Rebecca pouted unhappily after getting hit on the head.
Jiang Heng and the others celebrated happily. David, on the other hand, ran into a little trouble.
Of course, this trouble had nothing to do with the commission. It was all because of Tanaka Katsuto.
Yesterday, Tanaka Katsuto was slapped twice by Jiang Heng, causing both of his cheeks to swell up. However, because the system was restarted and his memories were erased, he couldn't remember who did it.
Feeling a bit depressed, he took his anger out on David. During break time, Tanaka Katsuto blocked David and said some nasty things, including insulting David's mother, Gloria.
How could David stand for that? David was already being tolerant enough. He had basically endured all the bullying from others, but he couldn't stand it when Tanaka Katsuto insulted his mother. That’s something any person would find hard to bear.
So the two of them had a conflict. Unfortunately, David had almost no cybernetic implants, so he couldn't possibly beat Tanaka Katsuto.
Don't look at this guy, he looks effeminate, but because he has a cybernetic implant for kung fu and a cybernetic body, he's still quite capable in combat.
His old man is the same. On the surface, he looks like a middle-aged man with a big belly, but in fact, he's also quite capable in combat. In the anime, Mann couldn't even beat him, and it was only when David, with the help of the Arasaka corporation, came in that Tanaka was subdued.
David and Tanaka Katsuto had a conflict, and in the end, David was beaten up, and even suffered a serious injury. The school had no choice but to call his mother, Gloria.
The two sides negotiated, and Gloria chose to let things go. After all, the other side was a high-ranking official of the school, and a head-on confrontation would be of no benefit to them.
Tanaka Katsuto didn't pursue the matter further either. After all, it was Tanaka Katsuto who started the conflict, and since David was the one who got hurt, they didn't even pay for medical expenses, so what reason did they have to pursue the matter?
