"Okey, how do I become intelligent?",
"…",
"What, why aren't you answering?",
[for some reason, I didn't expect that question]
"I thought you could read my mind?"
[I can]
"So why didn't you expect it, I was literally thinking about it for the last 5 minutes", Zephyr protested in annoyance
[Well, as you might have already guessed, I find it more delightful to not listen to your thoughts]
"…"
"You are joking, aren't you?"
[Affirmative]
"Sigh"
[The best way to increase your base in intellect is to start with the basics]
"Isn't that just gonna take too much time",
[Not exactly]
"…"
[all you need to do is to Peruse the digital contents of your mobile device, and I will subsequently process, synthesize, and assimilate the pertinent information, thereafter encoding it within your cerebral cortex for enhanced retention and recall.]
"…"
[in simple terms, just scroll through the information on your phone and I will do everything for you]
"You know, I feel like your attitude is progressively getting worse"
[well, it is decreasing your depressive thoughts, for an increase in the response of dopamine levels in your brain]
"So it's making my mood feel better?",
[No, it just seems you have found a new fetish]
"Ha very funny", Zephyr couldn't help but laugh as he walked to the nearby pizza place near the end of a well-known restaurant,
Ding-ding-ding!
The doorbell rang, as Zephyr walked in and sat on one of the chairs in an empty section,
"Hi, welcome to Seelas and what would you like to order", Asked a waitress who surprisingly didn't look that much older than Zephyr,
"Yeah hey, can I get a slice of pizza",
"Yeah sure which one",
"The number 2 please",
"Yeah ok", then she just stood there, her gaze still staring at Zephyr as if her eyes had fallen for a being as swift as thunder,
Zephyr with a face of confusion, "Are you good?", he asked, making her snap out of her thoughts of mystery,
"Yeah sorry", she quickly drifted off, moving her feet as the roller skates she wore increased the speed of her pending moment,
Zephyr couldn't help but laugh, thinking about how his looks seemed to be a gift from the heavens,
His grin was widening, and before he could notice, he had already made the far-sitting crowd look at him with eyes of suspicion.
Snapping out of his pending happiness, "ok, let's get to work",
He pulled out his phone, "Cyber security, that should make some money", he thought, as he searched online but found no free cause or PDF that had any information,
But then he turned his attention to NewTube, where he searched and found that there was a full video recording of a professor from Waward University teaching for free, he was stunned for a second,
The most famous university that had the most brilliant students was releasing its causes for free, it was astonishing,
[well, considering the fact that Waward is a school for students who are gifted with intelligence, they probably see no need to hold back any type of information, probably thinking that the outside world or most of its students will find it difficult to teach themselves off of the causes alone]
"Are you able to take the information from a video instead of notes",
[Affirmative]
"Ah", Zephyr protested in whispers, "it's 3 hours"
[You can place it on maximum speed and I will still be able to analyze its information, you don't even need to look at the screen, as long as it is in or near your eye's range of motion, analyzing will be possible]
Zephyr couldn't help but giggle at the sudden realization, but before he could even continue
"Here is your order," the female waitress spoke with a smile, giving him his dish,
Zephyr reaches out for his wallet to take out some cash,
"The manager said it's on the house!", she spoke, her eyes locked on his,
"Huh really?",
"Yes, it is a ritual to give first-time customers a free meal", her voice continued,
"But I'm not.." before he could even answer she drifted off, leaving him to smile at himself as if her sudden actions confirmed his suspicions, 'looks truly mean everything', his grin grew menacingly,
Yet the people around had seemed to have now grown costumed to it, considering that he had been grinding since Nix had informed him that he didn't need to watch the video to understand its content.
______[45 minutes later]
"Thanks a lot, I made sure to put my number in it", Zephyr spoke, his white smile radiating a certain perfection.
"No problem, you should come back, anytime", the waitress said, as Zephyr just waved back his hand and left the pizza palace.
It seemed that during his time of needing to watch the video, he had asked her to borrow him her phone so that he could play some games while Nix analyzed its content,"
"Did you get what we need", he asked, as he placed his hands in his pockets, slightly feeling a bit more confident as he walked,
[Affirmative]
[Although there is some information that seems flawed and missing, this application should prove enough to get us more information without the need to spend any income]
"So how does it work…", Zephyr didn't have to continue, as a sudden influx of information just flooded into his memory, not just that, but he understood the information like it was second nature, the language, the inscriptions, the codes, it all felt surreal,
[Feels Good doesn't it?] Nix asked, its voice sounding more mocking than curious,
[I mean it should, given the fact that you have spent your entire life living with a brain that functions at a level that is slightly comparable to a rock] Nix spoke,
But Zephyr, seemingly accustomed to Nix's offensive way of speaking, ignored his comment and simply smiled in response. Without saying another word, he turned and began walking home.
_____[Home]
"Fuck!", Zephyr protested, "it's not fucking working," he said, frustration evident in the tone of his voice,
[I told you, the information we have is limited, coding is a form of a language, and it is not something we can expend unless we make one ourselves]
"Then why don't we make it? "
["…"]
"Ohh, ok …sorry"
[You should first find a way to gain the needed information using the skills we currently possess, then we can talk about its applications, because as we speak, the only software we have is your old mobile device, a rock for a brain and an ripoff of an Ai, that is trying to teach that rock how to speak English]
"…".
And so it began, a day's worth of hard work,
Work so draining that someone even forgot to take a bath,
So draining that Nix itself didn't even notice, or did it?
If you wanna find out, stay tuned for the next episode of Dragon Ball… Oh fuck, wrong show sorry.

..
🙏 forgive me, I know some of you might think that it is taking time but 😬 come on bro, it's only been 4 chapters lol, and besides bro has 7 days before his adaption becomes normal.
Ok yes, Nix sounds too taunting and some of you might not like it, well I don't care lol just joking 😂 I just get bored of the usual system that always speaks with no substance,
Unlike the usual, Nix is a state of consciousness, meaning he has feelings, but his feelings are not separate from Zephyr since him and Zephyr are practically one,
And this is why 'GOD' said Nix is a Gift and not a tool, so I hope you understand lol
You want to know what also probably has 4 chapters 🤔 my PT 😂 lol,
Sub up for extra chapters, and don't forget, we need 120 power stones for the next chapter 💀 good luck.
