Chapter 6 - Academic's star killer

"Thank you, I will surely look for you if I need any help," Alfizar said. He took out his USID Card, he stuck the glass device to its port on the table. The formerly dark surface of the table lights up becoming a full touchscreen table. One side of the table flat surface risen up. The surface of the table becomes tilted, making it easier for Alfiando to see the screen.

[Hello, Alfizar Leonore!] Was written on the screen.

[Menu:]

[Start The Lessons] [My Grade]

[My e-Books] [Homework]

And there were many more options in it. But because the class already started, he quickly chose [Start The Lessons].

The display screen changes to match the big screen in front of the class. He can see the teacher's short profile in the top corner of the screen.

[The development of modern civilization]

[In 260 after the great world war, the world's heat reaches the highest temperature, the rate of drought-related death continues to rise. The average temperature reaches 45 degrees Celsius. And the highest temperature almost reached 60 degrees. Scientist managed to make a tool to maintain ice in the north and south poles not to melt too much, so as not to drown the land. Almost all the land was barren with no plants.

World leaders were working together, ultimately with the cooperation of many parties, after twenty years the temperature finally goes down. Now the temperature is quite cool, the average world temperature is about 35 degrees, and the highest temperature is close to 45. But that number continues to decline every year with the number of trees and forests growing. The government was now taking strict action to protect the environment. Oil was not used as fuel anymore. Nuclear now used as a power plant. The safety was assured.

Plastic waste that can not be recycled was melted and then made into bricks, the company that takes over the project claims that the resulting plastic brick is much harder and lighter than traditional bricks, the price also cheaper. After three years, the plastic brick was the main ingredient in making the house all over the world. Without eliminating people's livelihoods in many countries, the company opened branches around the world.

The same company also helped research for the safety of nuclear use as a power plant, and the pioneer company of smart cars. After so many achievements, this company was initially engaged in technology and weaponry.

Because of the worldwide crisis, The Kings and The Presidents of many countries stop any grudge they had to another country and stopped the war then began to work together in order to save the world. After five years of hard worked, the world began to cool down by a lot, but the scientists still did not turn off the machines that maintained the ice in the north and south. Tornados often formed because of the hot temperature and the cold artificial air from the poles. But they can't turn off the machines and risk the lands to sank under the sea in just a few years because the ice would melt real quick. Then the tornados threat began to reduce after a few years the world cooldown.

A miscalculation happened. The hottest part of the earth had cool down, and the machines somehow made the ice zone in the north and south widened. This caused a weather disaster. Snows began to fall and cover the world, while countries near the ice zone got a blizzard. The machines power source was cut down as no people could get closed to it. After the incident, the world's weather began to get normal. But it's no longer like in the past, even now, the weather could take a sudden turn in just a week. Summer now, winter next week. It's no longer bother the citizen.

There was no more war, only the military strengthening in case of an attack.]

After the lessons it was noon, Vianzo accompanies him to the school's cafeteria, although it looked more like a restaurant. The food here was free for the students, but only one meal per day. They were free to choose what they want to eat. When they wanted to leave the class, quite a lot of classmates want to talk with Alfizar. He was saved by Vianzo though, "What are you guys crowding him for?! Do you want to molest him?!" It was quite embarrassing for Alfizar.

"Here." The old lady gave him his USID Card back after scanning it to make sure he had not come here to eat today, they need to wait a few minutes for their order to be delivered to their table. Both of them began to look for an empty seat. But, because it was a lunchtime, the cafeteria was crowded with people.

"That guy sat alone, what if we joined him?" Alfizar point at a boy who was eating alone. All the table in the cafeteria were full of people. Only that table has one person sat there. Alfizar was expecting Vianzo to agree and push his wheelchair to that table. Instead, Vianzo chuckles nervously and push his wheelchair toward another table that was crowded with a few of their classmate, leaving Alfizar in confusion.

"Vianz! New kid!" Called a dark skin youth upon seeing the both of them approaching their table.

"Razi..." Vianzo greeted back. "Can you guys make a little space for me to sit on?" Then Vianzo forcefully push their classmates to make space for him.

"Rachzi Ruchaze." He suddenly introduces himself. His long silver hair was tied into a low ponytail.

"Just call him Razi, everyone did." Another youth said he has tanned skin, green eyes, and a really short black hair that is almost bald. "I'm Frans. Frans Surzas."

"Dioz Hanson, call me Dioz. One of the student council president's candidate." A blonde haired youth said cooly. He had a really deep blue colored eyes. His hair was not too long, and not too short either. His skin was a healthy white, but a bit tanned.

Alfizar shooks their hands, "Alfizar Leonore." He reintroduces himself.

"About that guy over there, Alfi." Vianzo began, all of them turned to look at him. "In the future, you have to stay away from him." He said with a grim voice.

"Huh? Why?" Alfizar asked.

"His name is Harloz Sweinzrev, there is a lot of bad rumors about him. Hence! That is the reason he sat alone!" Frans said dramatically, his voice was a bit too loud that a few students turned their heads to their table. The person that was being discussed seemed to notice the content of their conversation. He suddenly stood up and left his unfinished lunch.

Dioz smacked Frans head. "Ouch!! What was that for?!"

"Brilliant Bro! He heard you." Rachzi said with a concerned look. "You have to be careful from now on, you hear me?"

Alfizar was at lost. "What rumors?"

Dioz looked at him, "You are new here, so no wonder you don't know. There is a rumor that he is an Academic's star killer."

"What? He is a murderer?! How come I don't know?!"
