"Hmm... But is we use the proper order of operations here, won't we come out with an imaginary number?" "Exactly!" She grins. "Good job. Anyways - erasing problems now. Ready for the next set?"
"Of course"

"Exactly!" She grins. "Good job. Anyways - erasing problems now. Ready for the next set?"
"Of course" She writes more complicated problems out with lots of diagrams involving vectors and the lines of rays.
"And from this line we can derive the formula you will need for this homework assignment. See we replace x on this side with xyz because x is the force, but xyz shows the force in action around the pivot point."

Lan takes notes as fast as he can "Isn't it absolutely fascinating?" She pauses and adjusts her glasses, the light from the windows glinting off of them brightly. "Pivot points are vital to everything. Pulley systems we need to erect artifices, to lower ships, to create toys for children! I have heard it said - from a few questionable but reputable doctors that I know - that even the human body utilizes pulley systems. May I digress a bit? Here I shall sketch out the bones in the arm! There are three major ones - not including all the pesky little carpal bones - see! There they are! One, two, three... Now! Here are the muscles that lay out over them. My friends sent me dissection drawings they had done - never do dissections - it's illegal! Anyways! Waste no knowledge -the damage is done and we can learn from it. Anyways! I keep getting off subject...but here are the muscles in the arm. They attach here and here and here! Now, this one, the biceps, acts opposite to the tricep. So when it contracts, it pulls the bones here up towards the shoulder! It's a pulley system! Is it not amazing? How much force do you think is necessary? Anyone? Anyone? Anyways! Let us put our pivot point here are the elbow! Now let's solve for x and y!"

His expression drops a bit. This made little to no sense to him.

His expression drops a bit. This made little to no sense to him. "Anyhow, we're almost done with class! Take these sheets and go out and draw angles. Write a paragraph on something fascinating you can apply physics too. First exam next week!" She passes out pages that have a unique problem on them for everyone in the class. "Remember to see me later if you still need help Lan - although I really do think if you take some time to look over everything it will make sense. These questions are meant to stretch you."

"Oh, yes of course. It's so nice for you to single me out, ma'am. And I will take my time once you take your time in teaching." He smiles sweetly.

She says seriously, hovering while students file out of the class. "We can work on it later. I really do want you to get this. Physics and math should be fun and interesting, not frustrating. And I thought you wanted singled out? I'm sure my style is a bit different than your tutors - but you have to recognize I have more students and less time than they do."

"I don't want to be singled out." Lan frowns. "And ma'am... For the love of-" He sighs. "All I hear you talk about is random things. I hear little explanation as to how to solve your problems. Yes, this subject isn't my strongest... But the teaches I've had so far knew how to time manage." He stands. "I won't apologize for what I've said. But I do understand that this school really needs to work this out so you do get time with your students."

She shakes her head. "I remember my tutors. Anyways - it is free time now no? Shall we go over everything in more depth? I will make time for you, Prince."

"No... I'll see you tomorrow. I need to finish other things today. Good day, ma'am." Lan goes to leave.

He glances back for a moment before going off to the dorms
