"The entirety of the world – how it has worked and how it will continue to work – can be divulged by numbers, calculations."

Haruto had taken the class because he felt that, if there was a three-hour gap in his schedule in between his lab classes, he would have definitely taken that time to go back to the room he shared with his upperclassman from high school, Kyuma, and he would have gone to sleep and he would have, as sure as the sun rose from the east, definitely missed his next class.

"It doesn't take a savant to reach to this conclusion."

Then Shoko would whack him on the head for having no time management skills at all. And Shoko, even though she was a girl, wasn't gentle enough, meaning she wasn't gentle at all – except when she was cooking. She was nice of course, but she roughhoused with the boys like she was one of them.

"What it does take is an observant mind and persistence. Which is exactly what I expect from each and every single one of you."

Haruto wasn't really, you know, the manliest man in the world.

"Now, for those who have yet to hear of me, listen up because I will tell this once and only once. I, unlike the other professors who teach this course, will not hesitate to give you a failing grade should I deem it fit. I do not offer special projects for those who wish to catch up with the class average."

It was supposed to be an easy class, really. It was supposed to pull up his GPA for this semester. But then it was just his luck that he had that professor. Nobody even knew he was teaching one of the Advanced Logic courses this semester; as far as every student in S University was concerned, his schedule was supposed to consist of only terrorizing Engineering students.

"Attendance will be optional. All requirements, however, must be passed on time. If you're even a second later, it won't be accepted regardless of whatever excuse you can think of."

There was always the option of switching classes, of course, but Haruto had never been fond of backing out of things he'd started. He liked finishing things.

"Please read through today's handouts. Class will be dismissed early today for those who wish to shift to other classes."

Notes: College AU with bite-sized chapters! Thank you for reading! :D

Unrelated Note: I really, really had to write something funny because, man, Valvrave's last episode made me bawl like a little baby.
