Yang Dao watched the man climb the stage and clapped with the rest of his fellow students. The old man got on to the stage, shook hands with Professor Newton. The latter gestured the old man to take a seat, but the old man shook his head and gestured with his hands, seeming to say that he wanted to speak already.

Newton hurriedly nodded and stepped aside to let the man speak. The old man stood in front of the mic and tapped it twice.

DUB DUB...

The sound radiated in the auditorium. Everyone fell silent and focused on what the old man was about to say. An old voice filled with vicissitudes sounded, "Hello guys, I am Elliot. First, you all should relax a bit. Second, the topic for today's discussion is not physics."

The crowd had a lot of emotions among them. Some were disappointed, while some were curious. The old man said, "I came to this place for a change of pace. If you all are still intent on listening to my planned gibberish then, I will give you a little lecture, albeit reluctantly."

This man sure had a sense of humor. The people chuckled. Professor Elliot talked about the basics of physics. He argued that only when you practically understand the basis will you be able to understand and dwell on advanced concepts of a topic.

The students were hooked by him as he recited the concepts of laws of motion. The man was so indulged in it he did not even notice his fallen cane. This man had dedicated his life to physics and science. He never married, nor did he have any children. Some might find it saddening, but Professor himself liked his life the way it was at the moment.

After completing the lecture, he asked if anybody had questions. Yang Dao raised his hand along with a few more. The professor answered them all one by one and finally, it was Yang Dao's turn.

The old man said, "What question might you have?"

Yang Dao asked, "Sir, the laws of motion you described just now..." his words had not yet been completed when the old man suddenly lost his balance. Thankfully, Professor Newton was right behind him and came to the rescue.

The question was left incomplete. The old man was given a chair, and the faculty fawned over him. The old man was embarrassed at his blunder and apologized for the disruption. He gazed at Yang Dao and beckoned him over. The boy nodded and complied. He came over the stage and asked, "Are you alright, Professor?"

The old man nodded and asked, "What is your question?" obviously the age has taken a toll on his body but his heart and mind were dedicated to science to such a level. Yang Dao found his respect rising to a new level. he asked him the question and when the old professor made the explanation, the boy hesitated but proposed a counterargument.

Not expecting the body to be so sharp, the professor talked to him. After a few minutes, the old man asked, "How about we talk outside as we walk? This atmosphere is not friendly to us nerds."

The staff faculty was immediately speechless. They wanted to arrange meals and stuff for this guy and he called them non-friendly. Yet given the status of the man, they could only express it with wry smiles on their faces.

Yang Dao supported the old man from one side, while the old man held his cane in another hand. The two walked out of the auditorium. The two started conversing while Aislinn jasper, Professor Newton, followed them at a distance.

Yang Dao came up with an idea. He focused the source energy and channeled a wisp in the old man's body. It was just a wisp of smoke if seen in real-world measures. The purpose was to let the old man relax and regain some strength. After a few minutes, Professor Elliot said, "You are one smart kid. This conversation has given me some ideas. I now wish to go back to the lab and start continuing my research work. Also, if you want to pursue physics on a higher level, you are welcome to visit my office anytime. Here, take this and it will be your entry ticket."

With that said he handed Yang Dao a card and the two regrouped with the faculty members behind. The boy had some classes to attend, and he discovered some things during this entire conversation.

One, that the old man can help him with the atomic fusion. Two, source energy can help others in physical strengthening. Three, source energy is like an endoscope. Yang Dao can peek even inside the old man's body. These three things made him satisfied.

With a clutter of thoughts in his mind, he went to the classes. As the college was about to finish. he saw Kiya stepping up on the podium. She first clapped and attracted everyone's attention. She said, "Guys, we all know that a student in our class has shocked the nation a few days ago with the wonderful invention called Robo-Aid. This was a combined effort of our classmate and a senior student, Frieda Foster.

I have called you all to support me so that we all can have a certain someone give us an exclusive party for the success." the class chuckled and the boys even whistled to show their support. Soon, the room was filled with cheering chants, "Dao, Dao, Dao..."

The boy shook his head and said, "And here I thought it was something serious. Okay, I will book the paradise hotel restaurant for you all on the weekend. Is that okay?"

They all cheered. Kiya smiled sweetly and sat next to the boy. The latter asked, "How come you became so naughty." with his eyes squinted.

Kiya turned to him with her cherry blossom pink hair brushing his nose and said, "This was what secretaries do. The boss makes money and they tell him how to spend it."

Yang Dao sighed and said, "I made a mistake hiring you." the two looked at each other and started laughing. The day was quite fruitful for the Dao child. He gained knowledge and some people to share his happiness as well.
