This was why so many people were willing to risk their lives just to get someone into Arasaka Academy—it had the most advanced learning technology in all of Night City.
After escorting Arthur to the computer room, the principal had stuck around for a bit, exchanged some small talk, then left in a hurry. Arthur was now alone in the room, eyes slowly scanning the state-of-the-art equipment around him.
He rubbed his chin, thoughtfully murmuring to himself.
"Let's see... This doesn't look too complicated. Physical damage is easy. But the virus in the system—that's going to need a bit of outside help."
Without wasting a second, Arthur got to work. He quickly disassembled the control panel in what was known as the "green classroom." A few quick adjustments, a couple of cables swapped, and the system powered back on with a faint hum.
Despite how advanced the classroom was, Arthur knew a basic truth: the more sophisticated the device, the stronger its self-preservation features. David had merely overloaded the system, which had triggered a failsafe. Fixing that part was simple.
The real problem? The projections were still glitching. A virus had been injected into the program, and rather than wiping out the system, it had only made things worse—corrupting the latest version of the green classroom into a scrambled mess.
Arthur sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Seriously, what kind of idiot writes code like this?"
