Chapter 39: Talking with the professor.

Yang Dao and the ladies ate the ice cream contently and then they went back to their respective works. Mary got busy keeping a check of the settlements offered by the companies. You have to say that the efficiency was terrifying. Feng Yun drilled back in her mountain of files and document signing. Yang Dao on the side was reading research papers with leisure.

Suddenly something came to his mind and he picked up his phone. He made a call to his professor. The call connected after two rings. It was professor Newt who spoke, "Hello, Student Yang Dao?" he had his number saved obviously.

Yang Dao spoke, "Hello, professor Newt. Is it a good time to speak?"

The professor replied, "Yes, sure tell me."

Yang Dao: "Sir, I was thinking. If I did join the physics group, you mentioned. Will I be allowed to conduct some experiments?"

Professor Newt: "Well, it is not actually possible for a first-year student to be conducting experiments. What kind of experiment are you thinking about anyway?"

Yang Dao: "Sir, Atomic Fusion. If possible, can you be the overseeing researcher?"

Unfortunately, Professor Newt was going through an existential crisis the moment he heard the two words, ATOMIC FUSION. He was silent for quite some time. Yang Dao had to call out repeatedly. Professor Newt woke up and said, "We will discuss this when you get back to the college. It is not safe to talk about this over a call."

Yang Dao agreed and they set up a meeting for the evening. Yang Dao spoke to Feng Yun who was working, "Sister Yun, I am going back to the college. Do you have anything for me?"

Feng Yun raised her head and said with a smile, "If possible do come over to the courtyard on weekends." she would not say that she felt lonely but Yang Dao around made her happy.

Yang Dao nodded and said, "If I have time then I will call you to arrange a pick up for me. You take care of yourself and don't work too much. Bye-bye." he waved at her from the cabin door. Feng Yun returned the gesture. Yang Dao came to the terrace where a chopper was ready to take flight. Feng Yun had choppers posted at different locations in case of emergency travel.

Yang Dao had ridden this chopper earlier and the pilot knew how big Yang Dao's status is so he did not ask any questions and directly ignited the metallic beast. Yang Dao sat down in the seat and tied his seat belt. He kept the doors open. This method was helpful in his interaction with the elements. The chopper flew up and Yang Dao started his meditation for the time of the journey. He was headed to the sapphire lake residency. There he will change into something more comfortable and then rush out on his bike to meet the professor.

During his interaction with the wind, his range of interaction and perception increased by another 5 meters, reaching a total of 75 meters. Yang Dao was happy with this change. After an hour the chopper landed on the top of the building. Yang Dao disembarked and after thanking the pilot he came downstairs.

He changed into a sports t-shirt and shorts. The shirt was red in color and the shorts were black. Paired with red high ankle shoes. He walked to the balcony and found the bike leaning to the window. A slight layer of dust was visible on the surface. This aggrieved Yang Dao, he shook his head and with a dusting cloth cleaned his bike. Then he put on the helmet and gloves.

...

Yang Dao was riding his bike to the college. Before leaving home he asked Professor Newt for his address. Professor Newt resided in the teacher's dormitory with his family. It was for his convenience to commute daily. Yang Dao did not see the cycling club on the practice run and decided to pay them a visit later on. His speed was very fast and he reached the college in 40 minutes. He used his elemental skill to offset the wind pressure.

The teacher's dorm was actually a villa complex. Every teacher was given a villa based on their level of experience. Professor Newt lived in a two-floored villa. Yang Dao located it after some effort. He did not have a smartphone in his hand and could only look for the place in an old-school manner. He pressed the doorbell. After a few moments, the door opened and a little girl showed her head from the gap. She seemed to be only 5-6 years old and looked very cute.

The girl spoke, "How may I help you?" her voice was polite and sweet as honey.

Yang Dao took off his helmet and smile at her. He replied, "Hello, my name is Yang Dao. I am a student of Professor Newt. Is he home?"

The girl looked at Yang Dao and said, "Please wait here." and she closed the door. After a few more moments the door opened and Professor Newt came out this time. The little girl hid behind Professor's legs. The professor spoke, "Yang Dao, I thought you would come tomorrow."

Yang Dao scratched his head and said, "Sir, this topic is very important and I cannot contain my excitement. Thus, I came right away."

The professor smiled and spoke, "Come in."

Yang Dao walked in and left his bike outside the door. The house was decorated very simply. He spoke, "It is very warm in here."

Professor Newt understood what he meant but he just smiled and did not say anything. After inviting the boy to sit down, he left to get some water, the little girl clasped the professor's trouser with her little pink hands, following him like a tail."

Professor came back holding a tray with two glasses of water in it. Yang Dao took over the tray and let the professor sit down first. Yang Dao spoke, "Sir, we don't need to conduct actual research but simulations to collect the basic data. Can this be done."

Professor Newt nodded as he spoke after some lamentation, "It can be done but we will need the help of the computer operations department."

Yang Dao asked back, "Do you mean Professor Dew?"

Professor Newt nodded, "Yes, Professor Dew. She will be needed to design a proper reactor simulation program and only then can we go on with this plan. But why the sudden interest?"

Yang Dao spoke, "I have been reading about this since middle school. Since the day I came back from an educational trip from the Crypto nation. I have wanted to make them feel the same they made me feel in their nation. This is the best way to make them bow."

Professor Newt nodded and agreed with him. Then he said, "Indeed the Cryptonians are arrogant. Well, I support you. Let me call Professor Dew over and have a detailed discussion over this." He glanced at the little girl in his lap and said, "Candy, get me my phone, sweetheart." his voice was so soft as he spoke to the girl.

The girl smiled and went to his study to get his mobile for him. Yang Dao smiled as he saw the girl's smile.
