Sir Geldwin's class went as well as usual. Today was theory-only day, with each students giving short lectures on the subject they had been assigned to, before accepting questions and criticisms from their fellow classmates. Such was his style of teaching, preferring students to learn and push the boundaries of their knowledge on their own. He would only interfere if there was a subject they couldn't process on their own.

Corona's subject was about neural network learning, a recently discovered method of developing artificial intelligence from scratch. So far, they only had robot summons already with AIs that they didn't develop themselves. And it was difficult to reverse engineer said AI, as they still lacked the needed technological comprehension to even attempt on analyzing such a thing. Such was the common woe of Machina summoners. They would summon technological beings that far surpassed any technological understanding they currently had in their world.

Corona's specialization wasn't necessarily on AI analysis and development, though she certainly had some skills and knowledge in the matter. More than Esther at the very least. Her specialization was on data transfer, network optimizations, and brain-computer interface protocols.

But today, she was not making a presentation on that. In fact, one of her peers was the one who was presenting the subject.

Naturally, she bombarded him with questions as she felt his presentation was lacking in many aspects. She didn't care if she might end up being viewed as rude by the others. Geldwin himself approved of it, as he believed students had to continue striving beyond their limits.

When it was her turn to give her presentation, she gave the most detailed of them all. Sir Geldwin ended up having to cut her off prematurely as she was taking too much time out of the class. As for the questions, Geldwin himself ended up asking most of it, just to test her knowledge on the subject. And she managed to answer them all flawlessly.

All the way through, her familiar was out with her. Sir Geldwin never disallowed summoning your familiar in class as long as it didn't distract or interrupt the lecture. Her mind was linked to it and the database it possessed, allowing her to remember everything she chose to store perfectly, her studies and research being part of it.

She never considered it as 'cheating', of course. Sir Geldwin approved of it, and she built up this system of memory sync all by herself. And it wasn't easy. She had to endure so many headaches as her brain had to adjust to the alien way it was sending and receiving electrical signals, not to mention all the programming she had to do in her mind, needing the utmost focus. Like a Zen master, she had to only think one single thing; and that thing being the codes she was writing. If she thought of homework, or getting food, or even going to the bathroom, those stray thoughts would be written as codes as well, messing up the entire thing.

The session went like a breeze to her due to how interesting everyone's presentation for her. Before she knew it, Sir Geldwin announced that they had run out of time and that they should go to their second sessions now.
