Ale carried on streaming for a few extra hours, mostly spending time with her fans. Also to earn some money, mostly to earn some spending money. She would need to set up a new account and redirect the money there...

  Or well, as soon as she ended the stream she got a message from Alexanders with a digital certificate to a new bank account... Or well, the perms to access a new bank account to be precise.

  It had two sub-accounts to which she was able to interface with. One for her and one for Alexa. Both had money already, well, Alexa had less overall money while Ale had more. But she could see a few recurrent payments already linked to that account.

  Internet bills, phone bills and even a the payment for their shared apartment... Or well, part of it. If she was reading that right anyway.

  "So he isn't giving things for free?" Ale said sighing, a second message had arrived after that one, expining that if she wanted for Alexanders to pay everything he could.

  But that he was willing to respect her independence.

  "I don't want this kind of understanding!" Ale groaned as she was setting up a second stream for ter, this one was a membership stream so it would be with her most loyal fans.

  Not that there would be that much difference, the actual difference in interaction came from Tier 4 and Tier 5 membership. Mostly since there were less people in those tiers, so she was able to interact more closely with them.

  She didn't went full into the parasocial experience of course, as the GemGurl had said, the people who actually had those kind of money were the type she didn't want to interact too much with.

  One such example were the 'Most Aleniated fan' series people. They all were Tier 5 members and were most definitely not the most normal ones.

  They were the ones that provided the most engagement and bits for Ale to react to, but she wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. What was important was not that people, but the amount of ideas she managed to bounce out of them.

  That was the actual data that she had wanted to acquire. The fact that there wasn't much to be earned, since the data she had gotten wasn't that viable. Besides getting the name and stories about folklore.

  The stories recorded within the Saintsworths spoke about an entity that existed outside the normal pnar boundaries discovered so far. The Saintsworths had categorized a few theories about possible alternate existences in between the space above the three dimensions we lived in.

  They theorized that if one could interact with these entities, they may get power worthy of the Saintsworths might. OR so they said.

  Alexanders had made a few annotations telling the researchers to stop watching too many fantasy series and to lower the amount of drugs they took.

  Ale wasn't too sure if they had somehow managed to make contact with the ND0 System or if they were the reason why Magmo even took interest on this pnet. Too many unknowns were set here. What she was sure was that... Names while important weren't something that Ale needed to worry about at the moment.

  She hadn't noticed too much changes, at least not anything like what she had found out from her research and the talk with the aleniated peeps.

  She wasn't kidnapped to another reality, and more importantly, she didn't feel that her loyalties had changed. All she really noticed was the fact that some part of her memories had been changed, and so far all she could think was that they were changed to expin more easily how Ale made contact with Magmo.

  But that done, she didn't think there was much for her to worry.

  Surely.

  [Warning, raising arm towards current train of thought. The current idea is moving against the set-up mission parameters.]

  "Dang it." Ale cursed under her breath. Was this something that Magmo left too? Ale didn't want to worry about that, but evidently something that she wasn't worry was in tune with something she had worried before.

  "We are back!" And while thinking about what she was supposed to worry, the sound of people walking into the apartment came.

  Ale closed off all the tabs on her pc and set it up to rest mode. She would continue that research ter, of course she did set up a reminder within Main Core so she would check that ter. This was important after all.

  And while setting that up... she noticed two things, one there were some stuff she hadn't checked quite yet. That is to say, she was going to check why people came to convenient conclusions about them. She hadn't asked that or checked about it.

  The second thing was that... She could not delete or edit those things. She could add new things, but not remove. That was... interesting bit of data to be sure. Was it because she couldn't return quite yet to the mindscape in a more permanent way? Or was this a safeguard that she herself put there? Ale was not entirely sure. Perhaps it was something that Main Core decided after interpreting Ale's orders and wishes? That could also be a possibility.

  Either way, it was good for Ale as that meant that there was no risk for her to delete those things by mistake, or because something prompted her to do so. So for now, that would stay like that till they managed to get something to ensure they were immune to tampering like that.

  "Welcome back," Ale said as she walked out of her dorm, "Did you finish everything all right?"

  The one that had come back was just Miriam Eversoul, Vivian Kellet, and Alexanders didn't come back, but that was something that she already knew would happen.

  So that wasn't a surprise.

  She already knew they would probably not come back, since they had said it, but it was still somewhat of sad.

  "Yes, Vivian set up one of the automated cabs so they will pick me up in the morning from here for a few days." Miriam Eversoul said pulling up a soda can from the refrigerator and walked to the sofa where she sat, "How was your day? Getting used to life here?"

  It was the first day, how could she be getting used to the life here?

  "It was fine," Ale answered, "I pyed on the pc, spoke to some internet friends and read some news."

  Ale was not ready to have that conversation, she doubted it would be that awkward. Miriam Eversoul knew that Ale had links to the super vilin society, so surely there wouldn't be much issue with her streaming.

  She was actively dealing and working with supervilins, surely streaming on A-Tube wouldn't be an issue... and even if it was, she was paying for most of her own expenses, and she had some degree of independence...

  Surely Miriam Eversoul wouldn't forbid it... right?

  Could she do that? Forbid her from doing stuff?

  It didn't even make any kind of sense that she would be able to have that much power, but Ale didn't want to test it. She was 'The Mom Person' to Alexa. Ale didn't want to test how much power that gave her.

  "Good," Miriam Eversoul answered nodding, "We made some progresse on the work about the school systems."

  The school work system?

  "We think the first school can be opened in around two to three weeks' time." That sounded like a good timeframe, faster than Ale had expected for them to finish the work. "Then we can start pulling up the students into the city."

  Did they have enough rooms for them all? Actually, would that even work? Ale was sure she had heard that humans had the habit of living with their spawns for prolonged amounts of time.

  How would this even work?

  "Will it be hard to get their parents?" Ale decided to ask.

  "Oh yeah that, we aren't pulling those in." Mirima Eversoul answered shrugging, "I would love to, but as... I didn't manage to win against the theories about why that was detrimental. So they will be living alone with only minimal monitoring from dedicated teachers and nannies."

  That sounded very counterintuitive.

  "If parental supervision is detrimental, why are you putting up teachers and nannies?" Ale asked confused, "Isn't that working against what you are pnning to being with?"

  "They got studies to prove that parents are more often than not spoiling their children," Miriam Eversoul said shaking her head, "Not all the children are spoiled of course, but the ones we are getting? They are mostly in that type."

  "They are?" Ale asked confused, "What kind of children are you getting here?"

  "The ones whose parents don't want to struggle with." Miriam Eversoul's answer was given in a sad tone, "Those that are ignored or aren't taught well, those who weren't pnned... And also those that are in orphanages, those are our main target audience."

  "Then what is the not main target?" Ale questioned, because the answer seemed to hint toward that secondary answer.

  "Heh." Miriam Eversoul couldn't help but ugh under her breath, "The rich."

  "The rich?" Ale did not see that one coming, or perhaps she should have? "Like Alexa's friends?"

  "That is a good example, but no." Miriam Eversoul shook her head, "They are also one of the sub targets, but the ones who are paying all of these? Are the rich, daughter and children of the rich who will get all shoved into their own schools to see if we can teach them actual things instead of merely having them be handed certificates and companies left and right."

  ...wasn't that indoctrination?

  "Yeah I know how it sounds." Miriam Eversoul sighed in defeat, "It is why I can't contest Alexanders mocking me for being a hypocrite... I want to do to them what I despise the most, but... All for a better future."

  "Oh, I don't mind that." Ale said, shaking her head, "The end goal is what matters, not how we get there."

  Ale didn't mind it to be honest, it was practical, besides it would be hypocrital of her to question or judge people from doing that, seeding ideas in others was the most efficient way to get something.

  So long they didn't tamper with the personality or twist them into something that they weren't, then Ale was okay with that. Mind tampering was where she put the line.

  "... You should." Miriam Eversoul said, "You should mind it, adults... are not always right."

  Ale knew that.

  "It's fine." Ale still said as much, "Did Alexanders say anything about the solution to my problem?"

  Ale doubted it would be fixed already, but she still felt the need to ask. And from the expression of Miriam Eversoul, it was not yet solved.

  "...He was still working on it when I left the b." Miriam Eversoul answered as such. "Do you still pn to return there?"

  "Yes," Ale answered without waiting even a second, "I will return even if he doesn't fix the issues, Alexa also has csses... And she has lost almost half a month of them already, can't imagine that going well for her end of the year scores."

  "Those have been solved already," Miriam Eversoul pulled a folder from her coat, how did that fit there? "Was among the first things that Alexanders solved actually, the asshole is effective if nothing else."

  Ale took the folder and opened it, it was the end-of-year grades.

  "The school year has not finished has it?" Ale said going by the results, Alexa... would never score as high as what was written here. Even if she had access to the required knowledge, chances were she would have answered the questions with 'Mango' or '42'... Perhaps a '27' here and there.

  "It has not," Miriam Eversoul said sighing, "He said that I could check with you to see if Alexa didn't know something on those subjects... Honestly, since she made it to the css of the elites (That experimental css of him) it was a done deal that she would graduate with honors."

  "Yeah..." Ale said grimacing at the memory of those kids, "But he is right, Alexa knows most of the things on this list... Even if she would probably not get these scores if she was to take the exams in a normal way."

  "She wouldn't?" Miriam Eversoul sounded surprised, "Even though she knows the answers?"

  "Alexa would have tanked the exam by either trying to eat the paper or by writing mango somewhere along the way." Ale said ughing, "She does know the answers of course, but that does not mean she would put the answers there."

  "Like Alexanders then..." Miriam Eversoul ughed too, "When he does it, he comes as a prick, but yeah... Alexa would look normal like that."

  "She does have the vibes and cuteness to pull that out." Ale nodded too, "Alexanders looks more like the guy who tries to be too cool and fails at it."

  "I know right!" Miriam Eversoul nodded enthusiastically, "He should be cool, he does have the face and style to be your protagonist of a drama or something, but his attitude..."

  That was the problem was it not? Ale knew that he came out too... abrasive in the best case and stuck up in the worst case. She was painfully aware since she did use him as a punching bag for brownie points on the internets.

  ...She would probably need to slowly tune out that from her content and move it towards something else, perhaps she could start bashing Alexanders political enemies?

  Not that the man needed help.

  "So, while we wait for that." Miriam Eversoul turned her attention fully to Ale, "Want to pick up a school?"

  "Wasn't Alexa going to attend the same school program once it moved here?" Ale was confused, she had gotten that impression, at least from what they talked.

  "Of course, all her friends will move here... Or most of them anyway." Miriam Eversoul said shaking her head at the answer, "I meant for you. Unless you truly want to go to online csses?"

  For Ale?

  "I will respect that decision, it is not up to me to decide your future." Miriam Eversoul carried on, "But I do think a normal school would benefit you. Socializing with kids your age is good, you can't only interact with adults and people on the internet. You need human contact too."

  ....Did she though?

  "I have some options already," Miriam Eversoul pulled pamplets from several school programs, "And these are more specialized, they will require you to pass an exam. But Alexanders cimed you would ace any exam you wanted to take, even without his help."

  "His help?" Ale asked confused, why would Alexanders help her?

  "Yeah, when I told him that he was not to help you pass the exams... He ughed and said that you didn't need his help to get into a school. That this one aspect of you was the most Saintsworths thing you could have." Miriam Eversoul seemed pissed at that statement, "That if something was to make you up a person worthy of the Saintsowrths name was that you didn't need help to pass a knowledge type exam."

  That... was probably more to do with the fact that Ale could download the required data and introduce it directly into her memory, than whatever Miriam Eversoul was thinking.

  "Yeah, I don't need his help or favours to pass a test." But Ale couldn't say anything about that. "Well, let's check them for now at least..."

  Ale did have some curiosity about what kind of schools she would or could attend... She was not sure if she would ever go to one, but she... she got the impression that going to one... wouldn't be that bad.
