On the first day of senior year, I found a line of tiny writing on my desk: “Score just above passing on ten consecutive exams to unlock the Future Technology System.”
For the legendary cutting-edge tech, I began performing with precisely controlled scores.
After the tenth exam, I waited confidently for the System to appear.
At the lectern, however, our homeroom teacher slammed the desk and roared, “Lin Zhou! You’ve scraped over the passing mark ten exams in a row. You expect me to believe that’s a coincidence?”
“Explain yourself today, or I’m calling your parents!”
As the whole class watched the show, a holographic interface suddenly appeared before my eyes:
“Conditions met. Future Technology System activated.”
