Lesson Three - First Years

[Richard Romain]

Richard scowled at himself as he rushed towards his classroom. He was late for his own god-damned lesson! What kind of example was that for the kids themselves? Growling in frustration, Richard saw the students waiting by the door to his classroom and powered on through, the door opening wide with a wave of his hand,

"Alright, alright! Sorry I'm late class!" he told them as he led them inside, setting his briefcase down on top of the desk as he moved to look at them, "Thank you for waiting. I've been a bit distracted lately..."

Coughing a little bit he wrote something down on the board,

"Equivalent exchange..." he read from the board, "Who can explain to me the principle of equivalent exchange?"
