Ambitious! : Prolog

The booming sound was deafening, with sparks of fire due to the friction between the cause of the boom and natural objects before showing dozens of pairs of eyes seeing the flames that burned the entire body of the heat-conducting thing.

The ground is hollow, the stone is split into sharp angles to have sharp edges, and urban buildings collapse and burn, making the brain work hard to think about how to get past the damage that has occurred.

"One of the wireless links is disconnected!"

The fingers moved on the technology program giving the command to move again even though some parts of his body had conducted heat high enough to inhibit the movement of the connected system.

"System crash! It's too hot to take orders!"

The flames grew more extensive, and warning signs repeatedly sounded, interrupting his sense of hearing. Tiny sparks within the shield conduct heat, making the thumping sound louder than before. His breath hitched, his heartbeat was far from average, and his fingers quivered as he tried to reach for a command button from the connected technology.

"Captain! What should we do?"

"Ah! The fire has entered through the gap!"

"The cooler is not working properly!"

The noise comes from maids who helped develop the technology's systematics, temperature barriers, and wireless breakdowns are very dangerous for the lives of those insides. He clenched his fists, "We failed. Quickly get away before it explodes!"

The captain shouted for a rescue order, but the fire moved faster than them. Red fills the screen before black dominates when a finger touches the screen deactivation button. It is a part of a film that Kenzo Obelix Pancracio is currently watching through the television monitor in his private room.

Kenzo threw the controller object without caring about the damage when it fell on the room floor. He was pretty annoyed with the development of the plot of the film that he followed, where artificial intelligence technology, which has a shape like a human robot with a power capacity and attack exceeding the strength of other robots. Chose to be destroyed by the captain in charge of developing the operating system.

The robot in the story is perfect. Kenzo had high hopes for it, but the developed narrative undermined his interest. Even though the role played by the robot is that of the antagonist, sometimes the things that accompany the antagonist's position in terms of power, possession, or other items are personally more attractive than the protagonist.

Kenzo eyes fell on a table filled with utensils. Kenzo walked over to grab a piece of paper depicting the shape of a robot. His hand reached for the cutting machine, slightly visible tiny sparks on the surface of metal objects that have the chemical element Ferrum. The spark comes from friction, creating the energy of motion and heat.

“Tch.”

Kenzo movements were stopped when he got a scratch on his finger. Kenzo drank the blood from the wound instead of taking medication. He could feel the metal within his sense of taste as the red liquid of his body touched his taste buds. Kenzo allowed the bacteria from the wound to enter his body.

Kenzo turned his attention to his phone when he felt the vibrating reminder he had set. His feet walked to another corner of the room. The monitor of his laptop flashed a light with a brand name as his finger touched the 'power' button as a step to turn on the circuit system. The cursor with the accompanying blue circle is a sign that the system chain is carrying out a process in executing commands from the user. The touchpad is a priority for the need to move the cursor to open various required applications and desired files, as well as some new windows on networks to search for something on the internet network and use the cursor direction and other commands.

"Are you okay with this?"

The question was heard when Kenzo received a call from someone, "What are you worried about?" Kenzo asked. He didn't answer the question but replied with another question.

"This is a meeting of all the laboratory masters. You know what I mean."

"I'm used to it. You want to take my place after all?"

"No, it's troublesome. I'm sure you've read all the information and will ask a great question and make the elders howl like dogs."

"So rude," Kenzo laughed. He said the last sentence, then hung up. The meeting between the essential members of technology development and natural science has begun.

Headphones were attached to both of his hearing senses, drowning out the sound from the video of the meeting he was attending virtually. The internet network, which is increasingly expanding, makes human activities easier, especially with developers who are now continuing to create their works of thought and develop applications for the convenience of users so. That a good assessment makes developers happy, they can accept a destructive but constructive evaluation to develop further and improve applications from the suggestions of users who comment on specific platforms. Good and constructive comments are good comments that need to be made by the whole community rather than giving nasty comments.

Kenzo gives his opinion and exchanges ideas with other members as an innovative design. Some suggestions and criticisms are debatable. They did this for a long time until they reached a final decision, choosing to have another conversation on a topic that had nothing to do with the meeting they did after the head of the laboratory said the closing sentence at the end of the discussion conference.

"Hey, you know the rules that are to be developed?"

Kenzo sighed silently when one of his colleagues chose to discuss a country's leader. In the series of sentences, he said there was a figure of speech as a confident statement.

So dull, huh... 

The pair of netters noticed other colleagues' faces, and some were enthusiastic to hear the conversation. At the same time, some of them chose to ignore things they thought would not be helpful to talk about by showing certain emotions.

"You're right. How can a leader decide to change the rules just like that? Will his son be like him, huh?"

"I see. What about the daughter?"

Kenzo showed a calm look on his face for the camera. Kenzo doesn't like someone who talks about his little sister. Their conversation stopped when the laboratory coordinator stopped their conversation, and this behavior was able to provide other guesses and justify the topic of discussion. A loud sigh interrupted them before they each said a small farewell before choosing to exit the video of the virtual meeting and then continue with other delayed activities.

The image of an object due to the reflection of the outdoor light that was straight within the range of the air vent became the first thing that appeared in his senses of sight, "Elder Brother Kenzo."

Lily Obelix Casablanca is the name that defines her little sister's identity. The thirteen-year-old girl stepped into his room, ignoring the warning from the maid behind her. They didn't dare to enter Kenzo's territorial zone. They lowered their heads reluctantly to meet Kenzo's gaze, which seemed capable of killing him.

"Is Daddy at home?"

Lily shook her head, "If there was, I wouldn't have come here," Kenzo shifted his attention.

"She is with me, her brother. What are you guys worried about?"

They lowered their heads even more, "Master Zidan gives the rules."

"This is home, not a country. Lily wants to study chemistry."

"Master Zidan won't allow it. Please cooperate, Master Kenzo."

Kenzo cleared his throat, "Shut up! If you make a sound, it's just a hassle for you."

They looked at each other, nodding their heads as if they could read minds.

"Master Kenzo is right. We'd better shut up."
