Time passed by quite quickly with a new company. Sylvia, just like her promise, has been coming rather frequently and has done the things I ask of her. The new server room has really paid off, with how my new AI is nurturing. As for Haro, I did as she requested and asked Mama if she could help me with it. Well, it was sent in the first month, and I finished building them with half the time I needed.

Sylvia is quite happy with it, as she carries it with her everywhere. Her two older brothers tried to get into Sylvia and me's relationship, probably due to their parents' insistence, but one glare from me shut it all down for the big brother. As for the younger one, that was a different case. He was…much more interesting since he was quite smart, not the kind of creepy smart like Sylvia and me but true smart.

So I tolerate him at best, since he is not quite on par with Sylvia, though he does bring up some interesting topics such as Mobile Suit. Well, that was about it about him… uh his name is…Migal…yes Migal is his name.

Well, other than that, I was getting a bit closer to Sylvia, not as if we were best of friends but I was slowly trusting her a bit. So long as she remains interesting. But it all ended about a week ago, Sylvia would be turning 8 soon, and she would be sent off to Earth so that she could prepare for boarding school on Colony, I think…she is going to go to Elysium? That is the place, from what I could remember how she talked about it.

It seems to be a Military school with very good facilities not just for the military so that is why she would be sent there. Her brothers would go there too, as the oldest is already prepared to start his years.

That is why I have been contacting her through other means of communication, such as online calls, FaceTime, and others. It was mostly her who contacted me almost every day, though, since she said it was so boring to be riding on a cruise ship with just her and her attendants. Heh, attendants…

Well, there isn't really anything interesting going on-

Dodging by reflex, I heard the loud sound of chalk cracking in half and the terrified sound of other children at the sudden sound. I looked in front to see the teacher whom I did not remember the name of, staring at me, all pissed for some reason.

"Ms. Yoha, have you finished the test? I see you've been daydreaming for a long time now." He said.

Ah…right, I was in the middle of a test…looking at my answer sheet, I found that it was already filled out, even the writing question was already done. Hm…looking up with a smile that I have crafted to perfection, I answer him. "Yes, Teacher, I apologize if I have been daydreaming." I got up from my seat along with the test sheet and put them in front of his table. "Well, then, I will go outside and prepare for the next test. Don't worry, I won't bother anyone." With a little bow, I walk out, crumbling my expression to natural. 

I could hear some mutter but I pretended to not hear. Since I have been changing the way I act, I need to keep it up, to Make Mama happy. With a sigh, I sat down on the built-in bench of the wall and began to meditate.

The testing period is over and the break is starting, I would move up to the next year starting next semester. Well, I need to find where I would study next…going to middle school then high school and university…

…

Opening up my laptop, I searched Elysium Academy. It was a boarding school in its own Colony. I skipped past its basic history and moved to its achievements. Of course, most of it would be in the military, such as producing Earth ACE pilots, new mobile suits, or mobile armor, but…this place will do. 

Since they would have a lot of facilities for me to use, they have AI research and development and their Mobile suit too, so killing two birds with one stone. The only real downside is I won't be staying with Mama…or can I?

They seem to offer hospitality to Parents in case they want to stay with their child. Well, most of the children sent here will be elite, after all. Each year, they accept up to 150 new students that will be divided into 5 classes. 

S-Class is normally reserved for those who are truly excellent, Sylvia would undoubtedly get in this class had she not been…hiding herself. Getting too much attention seems bothersome, so I will just not be in here.

The A-class is one below the S-class. It is for the elite, well, smart but not smart enough to be in S, so they got dropped in here. Ah, since this S and A class is for the Military, I would probably get in A to get access to stuff.

B-Class is a middle ground between the military and the normal class. That was about it. Then there were C and D classes which housed the rest of the students who wanted to study things that were not Military.

Well, digging further, there is something that is quite wrong with this school, mainly they really do push those Elite against normal students, like by giving one more favorable term in case of a fight, giving more resources to the military-related course, and such. And this is just a small matter too. 

This is just them playing noble and commoner, or in this case Elitism. Pathetic really. Don't they realize that there might be hidden gems in those places they're trying to belittle? Someday it will come to bite them in the ass.

Well, it was their problem, not mine. So I would just apply there, lay low, and leisurely take my time to perfect my AI. Well, if it is not perfect by then that is.

"Yoha? What are you doing?" Mama, who had been watching over me for some time, suddenly spoke up, so I turned my head to see her directly behind me watching as I browsed through the web of Elysium. 

"I look for a good place to study. This one seems the most promising." I said as I showed it to her, well, she probably already read all of it anyway. 

"What do you think? This Is probably a good place for me." I said as I read more and more info.

"Yeah...…you will fit well in this place," Mama said as she suddenly patted my head. I looked over toward her to see a sad smile on her face, puzzled at why she would make a face like that.

"What's wrong, Mama? Why do you make that face?" I asked her, Mama seemed confused but then she seemed to realize something, her sad smile turned to a normal smile.

"It's nothing, dear. Say, "Did that girl…Sylvia was it, she left for Earth already, right?" Mama asks me as she sits down next to me. I nod at her while my head is full of questions, puzzled as to why she would ask about that.

Mama seemed to see through my expression as she just smiled at me. "I see, I see. Well, Mama got work to do, so you do your things, Yoha, if you need anything Mama while you're in the other room." She planted a kiss on my forehead, something she didn't do much. It felt good that she showered me with love but somehow, I had a very bad feeling, my heart also pounding that something was not right and when she turned to leave, I reached my hand out, only to stop halfway. 

I…my hand…were trembling, the sense that telling me something was wrong was flaring up but…I can't bring myself to say it. I don't know why…I wanted to reach out to her but she was…already gone back to her work.

"... Pathetic…" Ah…Why am I…like this? I should go and ask her what is wrong, but…I'm scared…I feel as If I would never see her smile again if I go and ask what is wrong…

"...I'm…so pathetic." Unable to calm my heart down, I just shut off my thoughts and…went back to work on new codes.

[ Happy Birthday, Yoha. ] 

"Ah, thank you," I said, still focusing on the screen. 

[ My my, It seems I will be able to see you soon, also is that a bag under your eyes? ] Sylvia's voice coming out of my second screen, I turn to look at the second screen, to see Sylvia fondly patting HaroNii's metallic head. Seeing me finally look at her, her smile turns up a bit more. [ My, That is definitely a bag right there. I guess you need to learn makeup to hide those. ]

Ignoring her Makeup stuff, I stare at HaroNii. "No problem on your end, right? Is she performing right? Also, Hi HaroNii." "Hello! HaroNii! Hello HaroNii!" 

Haro, who comes out of his charging port jumps up onto my lap and wiggles to greet HaroNii, and I return to my work. [ Greeting. ] HaroNii's manner of speech is that of a refined Lady with a cute robotic voice, which was the setting Sylvia wanted for her.

[ Really? You greet HaroNii but not me? I'm offended, Yoh. I'm going to cry. Huhu…] Sylvia started doing her fake crying while using a nickname she created for me.

"...Ha…What do you want, Sylv? It's not something troublesome, isn't it?" I peer my eye away from the first screen and sigh. 

[ What do you think I am? I'm not here to bother you today! But to congratulate you, after all, you just turned 7, and you will come to Earth, won't you? Since you decide to study at the same place as me. ]

"Ah, Now that you mention it, I still don't understand why you would be sent to Elysium, It's a military school after all," I said the question I had been having for a long time, I just didn't care enough to ask about it but since she brings it up.

[Oh? Ah, It's mostly Political, You see, My Father is what you would call Second Generation Rich, and well, he was bad at politics so his father, meaning my grandfather pushed him out here to Siga-7. He sent his children to Military school to mostly gather influence since this and the next years will be full of politicians' kids. Well, He was a bit…of a fool. If he thought that My brothers would do something like planting seeds for the future. ]

"Hm…Sounds complicated." I said, losing interest in the topic as I have no care for it. However, Sylvia seems to think differently.

[ You can't escape politics, Yoha. ] Her words echo in my ear, as I stare at her through the screen, her smile is different from usual, it is the same cunning deep smile that she would wear when something interesting is about to happen. [ After all…You are…hm...Nope, I think letting you find out yourself is much more interesting! Well, I think we talked enough for today. See you again later. Goodbye, Yoh! ]

"...Tch. Same old as usual, someday I would get that smug grin off her face." Welp, my mood turned sour, I shut down my PC and rested my eyes for a minute.

"Politic…If Mama's connection is that strong then…it's…possible. Ahh…getting dragged into something troublesome…"

I hate this, getting dragged into doing something I don't like. 

"Yoha? Is your call with Sylvia girl finished?" Mama calls for me from downstairs. 

"Yes!" I yell out in response as I get down from my chair, staring right into my phone, I stare at one incomplete egg. "Wait a bit more, you will soon see the world." Shutting off the phone, I got downstairs to Mama.
