Chapter 9 - ROTFELD Principle

The morning sun shone heartily through the air towards the exterior part of the dormitory.

Giving a slight metallic sheen to the earthy coloured shade of the hostels making them look kind of nice and strangely beautiful.

Inside a particular room. The bed rustled as a male student shifted his sleeping posture to a more comfortable one.

After a while, the sound of a slight rumble rang out through the room bouncing off the walls while making disturbing echoes in the room.

David's eyes jerked. His eyes shot opened up gradually. He yawned with his mouth opened wide however his eyes indicated he was still extremely sluggish.

As he was going to close his eyes once more, the slight thunder sounded out again however this time in a progressively furious tone.

'That was an extraordinary rest' Dav thought as he propped himself up from his bed.

'Guess I'm really hungry' caressing his rumbling stomach speaking to the imprint located slightly below his wrist.

A compartment detached itself from the wall, a network of connected machinery rapidly arranged it self revealing a one meter sized mirror. Sitting besides them was a bunch of tools needed to clean himself up nicely.

Also in the other side of the mirror, was a small compartment with a hole in it, which Dav speculated was a type of waste bin.

He took his bath soon afterwards which was a weird experience for him but it was quite nice. He left his room hurriedly, his stomach almost rumbling in sync with his footsteps.

Upon following the pull of the imprint. He reached the cafeteria only to realize that it just opened like a minute ago.

There was no food available yet.

Seems like he had arrived too early.

Sitting in one of the chairs in the cafeteria, he noticed he was the only one in there at the moment. Although it was a bit strange, he didn't think too much about it.

He had decided to wait until the food was available but until then, he intends to find out what the students guide is all about as it had places him in a tight spot the previous night and also how to operate his imprint.

Applying pressure on the imprint for approximately three second straight.

'Good morning David, hope you enjoyed your days of sleep?'

The robotic voice of his personal AI rang out through his mind.

'Of course I did, thanks for asking.' Although, it was only a computerized reasoning, it hurts no one to be polite to it.

'Wait, what do you mean by days of sleep?' David asked, somehow confused by the words spoken to him by the AI. David was a really perceptive person. Thinking outside the box and noticing what others rarely notice, he was really good at that.

'The duration of your slumber was 52 hours : 12 minutes : 5 seconds which is approximate 2 days hence the word 'days' .' The robotic voice answered.

"What?" He was stunned. David's voice was raised an octave higher than usual.

He was truly freaked out. The fact that he had slept for two days straight surprised him and honestly, he currently still wished to sleep a bit more.

Although, he loved sleeping like really but that doesn't indicates he would be blinded by it.

Who falls asleep for two days straight without eating anyways?

Breathing in deeply, he calmed his nerves 'What seem to be the problem?' David asked the Ai.

'I can't seem to comprehend your question.' it replied.

'Right, I forgot it was an AI.' David thought.

'I slept for two days straight, is that normal?' David stated his problems to the AI.

'Although slightly abnormal, it's still considered okay. It was stated that due to the process undergone by the students, stressing out the limits of the human body, the body would need certain amount of rest. Sleeping for a day and maybe two is perfectly normal in order for the body to regain its energy. Although, 98.7 percent of the students woke up after a few hours of rest.'

"I'm a very special being, so doing special things should be expected." David comforted himself.

'Now, can you kindly inform me, what actions I must perform to operate my imprint? And how the hell you are talking straight to my head?' he had just registered he had a voice directly speaking through his head.

'To operate the imprint, you just have to switch to the manual mode which would decrease my rate of activities, to grant you access to the system.

The reason I could communicate to you straight to your head is due to the ROTFELD principle.

It's the combination of different complex theories and thesis on vibration and frequency.

Several centuries ago, the entire human genes available in the genome was read and edited by the conjunction of many Genetists from different parts of the world. They came together to form great inventions, thesis and theories and one of those theories is the ROTFELD principle which generally allows for telepathic communication through physical contact, gene frequency deciphering and electric brainwave frequency matching. ' The AI concluded.

Silence reigned in David's head. Not hearing any robotic voice, "Goodness, are you done?" David finally asked exasperated.

'You don't appear to understand the standards." the AI inquired.

"No I didn't cause you lost me there at ROTFELD Principle." he replied bluntly.

'Switching to ROTFELD principle explanation for dummies.

In layman's term, it basically means reading the frequency your brain uses to receive audio waves and then matching it to send message through the same brain wave.'

"Hmm, I think I get the gist of it."

Before he could continue, a loud buzz sound rang out, indicating the availability of food.

Seeing as the food was already available in the cafeteria, Dav hurriedly stood up for his.

Standing before the machinery, he raised his hands up as he was told too. His imprint was scanned, then instantly, his food popped out from an available space in the machinery.

David stared blankly at the box of sticky fluids on the tray he couldn't comprehend what just happened.
