New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

Eli started her one hour discussion of the fundamental concepts of physics.

Today, she planned to extensively explain the concepts of Force, Energy and Work. She carefully walked through the formulas and rules that included the Newton Laws and Laws of Thermodynamics.

While she was explaining these things to them, she also explained thoroughly how the algebraic and calculus concepts could be applied to derive the necessary formulas in order to apply these in physics.

She also carefully paid attention towards the facial expressions of her listeners, gauging if they are able to grasp so much information in a short span of an hour.

But judging on their reactions, those sparkling eyes and dropped jaw which made them look like they finally saw the light, Eli could only conclude that the research branch was indeed full of maniac geniuses.

On the other hand, this gave her a sense of relief and affirmation about how she crafted the entire lesson plan.

The main driver for her to arrange mathematics as the first learning area for the boot camp was actually because of her personal experience when she was a student.

Back then, she couldn't understand why the teachers explained how the cartesian coordinate plane works, how algebra works, how calculus works and so on.

In the classroom's four walls, the main goal was to memorize the concepts and formulas for the upcoming exams.

But that's all. The teacher's job would end there as soon as the students got the passing grade.

Not one of her teachers explained why she and her fellow classmates have to memorize countless of functions and formulas. Are they even used in real life?!

But when she entered college, taking up a ladderized engineering course, she finally understood why mathematics was taught so extensively in elementary and high school.

It was actually because it is commonly applied to sciences such as physics and chemistry. Even the business subjects like accounting, financial management and marketing viewed these mathematical concepts as essential!

The Great One knows how frustrated she was when she realized these things at the height of her studies, because she had very limited time to study to find jobs and side hustles.

Not clearly having a good foundation in these areas meant that she had to force herself to sacrifice her time in earning money to come back and re-learn these concepts.

If she knew these things beforehand, she would never sleep during mathematics class, not even a second!

Fully remembering this experience, Eli ensured that the research branch would never suffer the same way. That's why, her plans were crafted with great considerations on the things she didn't like to suffer again back when she was still a student.

Typically, her lecture would finish at the forty five minute mark and allot the remaining few minutes to answer the audience's questions.

After that she ended the lesson on time and handed over the next part of the bootcamp to Zeke and Bramwell who would be facilitating the reinforcement sessions.

These sessions are just the time for the research branch to be divided into two groups, the researchers and the faculty members. Together, they will be answering a set of questions prepared by Eli which was also included in their learning set.

With Zeke leading the researchers and Bramwell leading the faculty members, with the addition of Athena and Simone, the entire day would be spent in doing intense exercises and mini tests in order to reinforce the comprehension of the listeners.

While this was happening, Alicia was already on the look out for an opportunity to snatch a copy of the learning materials.

As she already tacitly agreed with Collins, the trusted aide of the Vanderford Institute, she had to start planning and executing her part of the deal.

Although she was actually nervous about what she was asked to do, it was better than having to suck up with the Empress and Eli.

One was someone she couldn't afford to offend, the other was someone whom she despised because of having some unexplainable standing in the institute.

Also, it was obviously easier for her to smuggle the learning sets instead of roping in Eli on the Empress's side.

Before the lecture started, she subtly looked around the amphitheater to fish out information from the nearby students as well as the faculty members whom she had pretty good relations with.

She didn't dare to ask anyone from the research branch because she was actually famous for her long standing grudge with Zeke!

This also made her task a lot more complicated as she had such a high profile around the school and her moves would be easily noticed by anyone if she was not careful enough.

So she didn't dare to make a move until she gets a good grasp of the entire routine of the research branch boot camp.

Just as she was about to take another round of 'information gathering', she gently bumped on a thin figure while she wasn't paying attention.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed with a hint of ridicule. Right after, she could hear a splash of some kind of a liquid in her robe. Her body was jolted awake.

"I am really sorry. I was not able to see you approaching earlier." Alicia then heard an apologetic female voice.

Alicia was about to exclaim in anger as her dignity as a noble lady kicked in, but hearing the other party's genuine apology, her irritation subsided a little.

However, when she turned to look at the person who accidentally bumped her, she was not able to hold her brows from furrowing.

The person who bumped her was actually Eli, who was holding a tall cup of coffee.

She just actually went out the exit when Alicia suddenly came from her side and bumped her. As the thing was too sudden, the impact of the accident actually caused her to spill the coffee on Alicia's robe.

"I really didn't mean to spill my coffee on you." Eli explained in a calm yet apologetic manner.

Although she was the one who had caused the damage, she knew who the other party was. It was sensible to be on the apologetic side so as to not blow the matter out of proportion.

Besides in this era, coffee was supposed to be enjoyed as cozy as how everyone enjoyed tea. At home on the designated tea place!

However, Eli's modern day habits led her in this situation.

"Would you like to go to the office first to change your robe?" Eli suggested.

The office Eli was pertaining to was the designated waiting area for the faculty teachers inside the amphitheater.

Since the amphitheater is a venue to hold the major events of the institute, the amphitheater itself had many mini offices to entertain guests and faculty members during the said events. These rooms have complete facilities, including changing robes for the faculty.

"Alright, I think we should." Alicia replied with a reluctant face.

However deep inside, she is rejoicing in her heart.

In a normal situation, Alicia could not be even bothered to notice nor glance towards the other person. But now, she had something she needed from her, so why waste this spectacular opportunity.

In any case, even if she was not able to actually steal the learning set, she could fish out even more valuable information inside the amphitheater herself.

She could even sneak in the rooms in case there are absentminded researchers uncareful enough to leave their things unattended!

That would be the perfect scenario!

"Alright, the other rooms were not really tidied, I'll lead you to my designated room instead." Eli carefully led her to her temporary office while she was at the amphitheater.

She took the initiative to lead her to the room because she remembered Alicia's aristocratic background.

With her way of emphasizing her noble origins, Eli could only imagine how much disdain would Alicia display if ever she was led into a generic waiting room.

So to avoid unnecessary trouble and to be able to go to Little Han early, she decided to lead Alicia to her room instead.

Anyways, there were no important documents lying in that room to be taken.

Hearing that she was about to be led into Eli's designated room, Alicia's heart became excited. Although her face was showing an unperturbed expression, she was rejoicing deep inside.

She was actually expecting that Eli's room would rather contain the lesson plans and important notes pertaining to the ongoing discussions. If that's the case, that could also be valuable information for her to obtain!

Of course, she won't expect Eli to have any copy of the main learning material herself, because that office was just temporary. Eli would be an idiot to actually keep things there. But as for the notes, it is highly possible!

The room was neat and classy, perfect for the faculty members of Alicia's standing. There were modest furnitures around the room that would help the faculty members and their companions relax while the event was on going.

There were also those scribbles and notes she had so excitedly expected. It was a stack of notes neatly arranged on Eli's long study table.

She was led by Eli to sit for a while, while she went to the ensuite stockroom to get a change of robe. This gave Alicia a few seconds to sneak a glance at the notes left on the study table.

However, all that was written there were random numbers and letters as if she was looking into a set of codes. There were also symbols that she failed to recognize.

'Is this the so-called knowledge from the great inventor?'

'What on earth are these scribbles? Are they even part of the human language?'

'What is this E=mc2????"
