Mobile Suit Gundam: Code Nova [Rewrite]

[Gundam Nova]

 

October 29th, I.J.C 199, Elysium Academy, R&D Department. Klara’s POV

 

It has been a month since that day. I…Didn’t talk with her again. She started avoiding me again and I saw her go back to her usual routine of faking everything, but I won’t think about it anymore. I talked to her and learned a bit more about her. I know she was unlike what I thought of her to be, she was just a girl who struggled…but I just…want more chances to talk with her. 

 

That’s why I started going to the Indoor Gym more often, to better myself and maybe, just maybe, she would come but it has been a month and she never did come. Well, there is only one thing I can do: that is just hope…that she would be willing to talk to me.

 

“Miss Klara! This is the third time this week that I saw you space out! Do it one more time and I will send you to Professor Hans. Do you know what he did to the student that he sent?”

 

“He has them fix his Code and until it is fixed he won’t let them leave. By the way, I have already fixed his code more than 50 times already, I think sending me would just be me working for him.”

 

Professor Juliane is still at my retort, I mean she sends me over there for more than I could count and at this point, I was going to become Professor Hans’s assistant. 

 

“Just because you have a good head, doesn’t make you escape the punishment and Study. Well, since I can’t send you over to Professor Hans, I will just have to do it the old way. Miss Klara, Stay here and clean the classroom, I want it spotless to the point that there is no dust.”

 

“Ehhhh….That would be kinda annoying…” 

 

“Hush! Now, let's get back to the lesson…”

 

I sat there through the lesson, thinking about her while skimming through the lesson as I already read most of them over, and soon it was already evening, and just as I was reading my bag, I was stopped by Professor Juliane.

 

“Don’t think I would forget about your punishment.” As she said that, she handed me a broom and a Dustpan. Next to it is a vacuum and then a mop…I look over at her and see how serious she is, I guess I have to do it…

 

7:57 PM. Indoor Gym.

 

“ha…I’m late…” Is the Gym still open? I mean if there is no one inside it would close automatically after 7:30 pm. When I walk to the door and use my phone to scan the code, it unlocks for me, huh…I guess there are still some people at this time. It was not really that dark but people were often too tired to stay for long at the Gym. This was a Junior Gym too so there were no seniors here. I walked into the gym, and it was as I expected, most of the lights were off, and the only one that was still on was where the punching bags were. And I could hear the sound of the meat meeting bag-filled sand, the sound was so loud that I could hear it from here.

 

I walk toward where the punching bag is, and what I say makes me come to a stop and almost drop my thing, the familiar light blue hair that sways everything she moves, the burning red eyes that consume everyone, the same face that was full of sweat…but what more is that she wearing a white tank top that was now drench with sweat, making it see through to her sports bra, what more the sport short she wearing was so short that I saw most of her thigh…

 

“...ha…hm? You…late. Hm? Hello? Are you there?” The sound of a finger-snapping made me come back to my senses, and I was watching the Familair's Red eyes in front of me, I didn’t notice before but her nose was straight and quite small, and her lip was a natural pink too, and that she got a mole under her neck that was almost between her che-What was I thinking!? 

 

“Ah! Sorry! I was spacing out! Wait! Why are you even here!?” I quickly scrambled to get my word out and quickly replied to whatever she was thinking, she gave me a puzzled look and just decided to ignore it.

 

What the heck was that?! Hormone? I mean I know that it would hit me eventually but why with a woman?! It should be with a man! 

 

“...are you…ok?” She asked in her slow voice, I never actually heard her use this tone before, because it made her sound like she was tired. 

 

“...Yeah, I’m ok…I was just… surprised, that's all.” I answered her and she seemed to be satisfied with my answer, seeing as she decided to ignore it and just went to the bench to sit and drink some water. 

 

So what do I do now? Do I sit next to her? Do I stand up or-

 

“Are you going to…sit?” With her words, I instantly dropped my bag and sat down on the bench, not next to her of course just on another bench, not too close and too far. “You said…that you would listen…to my rant.”

 

“Ah…yeah, I will listen if you want.” Why is it making me nervous?! Why is sitting next to her making me nervous?! Also! Why does she smell good! Shit! Even after all that sweat she still managed to smell good?! What happened to me!? What happened! ARG!

 

“I was born on the 15th of May, in 189. I was…a bit special as I remember most of my childhood and that means my baby days too.” She started, it came off as a bit of bragging but I saw the little smile on her face as she remembered those days, so I won’t complain.

 

“I… learned coding before I was even 1 year old, of course, I didn’t understand most of it at that time but I just kept reading it and learning about it. Until I finally manage to master HyperLink and create my first creation, Haro, come here.” A sudden ball suddenly jumped onto her lap and turned around, I saw it, the 2 eyes that glowed green and a curved shape line that stretched to its back were looking at me.

 

“Haro! Haro!” Then it said, suddenly it hit me, I saw this thing before…

 

“Isn’t it…the toy of your friend?”

 

“You mean HaroNii? I make her too, the same AI just a different personality. She is kinda like a little girl because Sylvy wants a friend. But she is smart, as smart as Haro, Right, Haro?” She asks the little ball in her lap and it extends its hand from the 2 holes near its head and claps. 

 

“Haro Smart! Haro Smart!” it repeats its words and I hear her Giggle. “Right, you are Smart Haro! So smart!” Then she suddenly made a sad expression and her enthusiasm died down.

 

“After meeting Sylvy, I became friends with her, though I never saw her brother again for some reason. They should have been in specialized courses by now but I guess they just want to avoid me. I mean they did make my head bleed when we first met.”

 

“He makes you WHAT!?” I said that out loud which made Yoha Startle a bit, “Ah…Sorry, I forgot to lower my voice.” 

 

“No problem, I'm just surprised. Anyway, he throws a tablet at my head and it bleeds. I got to the hospital and then, surprise, the next day or week that girl arrived in front of my house waiting to play with Haro. How my mother convinces her parents is beyond me but thinking now it makes sense, probably using Ottoman Influence.”

 

“Right…um…What about your mother…You seem to miss her so much.” I ask, out of my curiosity because of our last fight, I heard her whine about her mother. Yoha took a minute to just stare at Haro in silence before she opened her mouth.

 

“I…have another AI. If Haro is my son and HaroNii is my daughter then she is my youngest daughter. But she…is…unable to respond…for more than 5 years now…” She said as she lowered herself and hugged Haro.

 

I…don’t know what to say…A girl who could make her own code at the tender age of 2? That is not what you call a genius, that is beyond it.

 

“Can I…see your Other daughter? Ya know, maybe you missed something and I could find it.” honestly? I don’t have much hope of finding anything, I mean it from this beyond genius girl and she still couldn’t find a problem. 

 

She looked over at me as If I was crazy but then took out her watch, which for some reason is as strong as a mini-computer. I watch as she clicks something on it and then puts Haro on the ground, suddenly the eye of Haro glows bright and then it lights up, shooting out a wall of text! 

 

“Uhwa! What was that!?” 

 

“A Hologram I installed, it took 4 failures before I could get it right.” She said as if it wasn’t that hard. “There, I put up her Program in real-time. Take a look if you want, there really is no point in concealing this.”

 

I looked over at the moving wall several lines of words and numbers…it was overwhelming…I took a look around it, watching as the endless line was rewritten again and again with interest and then I noticed it.

 

“There is a pattern.” 

 

“Eh? What pattern and how does it work? Explain it to me!” She lunged at me and stood on top of me. Wait! This is bad! This is bad this is bad this is bad!

 

“G-get off me fir-” The grip she had on my hand was so strong that it was hurting me.

 

“Explain them! Now!”

 

“Ok! It just starts with the wrong Emotion! It was an AI with Emotion, right? So it starts on the wrong Emotion and it restarts itself. So if only you change the emotion spectrum to the right one, it should work in a year or two!”

 

“Emotional spectrum…the wrong one…why didn’t I think of it? Thank you, sorry, I have to go now, see you tomorrow.” She jumped off my lap, grabbed her bag and Haro then ran off…

 

“She said…see you tomorrow, she would be here tomorrow…Wait…did she just create an Emotional AI?!” With that, my day comes to an end and I go back to my form with a red face while thinking about things I shouldn’t be thinking at my age.
