Aelith, stood beside the nervous mechanical engineering students.
Today is the day where they will present there project.
If they didn’t did good today.
Then the only hope to get in major universities will be by gaining high score in entrance exam.
Today multiple universities representive had came here.
All student were to go to stage and explain there project.
The judges will give score according to the student work.
Those universities representive will supervise.
If they find a student worth noting, they will provide recommendations letter to those students.
The students are divided into multiple group.
When it’s there group turn, they will came to the school to present there project.
The student can come to the school to watch other project for comparison and last minute modification.
Aelith, watch as the judge announce the start of the event.
One by one student went on the stage presenting there projects.
Some project were simple.
Some were more complicated and sophisticated.
Some were very clever and unique.
The judge will give score at the end of the project presentation.
Some students were nervous and scared while speaking on stage
Aelith, look at her number 101 with amusement in her eyes.
Even her participation number is 101, which make her quite amusement at the situation.
Since, she belong to the second batch of the student, which mean her turn in on second day of the event as the first student.
Since, only 100 students will be presenting there projects on each day.
Her turn is on second day and is the first student.
She came here today to watch the project of other students.
She want to see how much commotion she’s going to cause tommorow.
They aren’t very complicated.
Of course, there are student who came with very clever and uniques ideas.
Some trying to use old idea and make them much better then the original.
The whole day passed without any hitch.
Aelith, went back to Ashbourne family mansion.
Next day, she woke up early in the morning and get ready.
She grab her own project prototype and head toward the School.
Today, the crowd of student was less then yesterday.
But still the auditorium was filled to bring with students and parents.
Aelith, also saw her parents and siblings among the crowd.
Aelith, pause then give them a smile and went to backstage.
Once, again the judge announce the start of the event.
As she step forward on the stage, the light, the attention, the focus was on her.
She could only see, sea of people infront of her.
Then she randomly choose a person to look straight at to avoid being distracted and nervous from the crowd.
Aelith took a deep breath, first she provide the judge with the detail files on her project, then she put the detail on the projections screen so the people can see.
Then she removed the cloth from her prototype with flick of her wrist.
The moment cloth was removed she can see various reaction of people.
Confusion.
Excitement.
Boredom.
Bewilderm.
Bored.
Under the cloth is a glass case, inside which stood a small baby plant.
The plant leaf are purple in heart shape, which it look beautiful.
The trunk of the plant is silver, it give illusion of glowing softly.
Murmur broke out, everyone were curious and confuse. This story is hosted at g.com.
The judge were also confuse they all the file of the student infront of them, which say she belong to mechanical department.
But her project is of botany.
Other judge point out the matter of major and minor, which made them clear about the situation.
Judge 1 “would you tell us what this plant is”
Since, she had choose to do botanical project, the judge will ask her question related to it.
Aelith “judges, can I ask you what you know about Aether crystal and theory of Aether”
Judge 3 “Aether crystal is a rare crystal made of unknown component which is capable of storing energy”
Judge 2 “theory of Aether is that the Aether crystal absorb the Aether present in the air”
There’s lot of time student start there project introduction by asking few questions to make things more clear.
Aelith “Various scientists and researchers had tried to create artificial aether crystal or machine capable of harvest Aether from the air like the crystal. But the result always had been disappointing for them. But aether crystal aren’t the only one capable of absorbing Aether from the air. Plants can do that too, which is known to everyone. But since the amount of Ather absorb them is not much it’s was disregard. I, combine both mechanical engineering and botany to create this plant which I, call AetherTree. This plant is created by merging countless plant cell to create a hybrid one, which can absorb more Aether from the air then normal plants.”
Now, judges were more interested into hearing what the plant is capable of.
After all many scientists hadn’t thought in this direction at all.
Then again the notion of young surpass elder is not for nothing.
This idea will create new direction for old researchs.
Aelith “this plant can only absorb the Aether, so I created a mechanical core with a root capable of absorbing Aether from the plant and transfer it out of the plant.”
She can hear people gasping in shock after all research also had yet to find way to use the Aether safely.
Aelith, remove the glass case covering the plant.
People subconsciously lean forward in there chair in anticipation.
The moment the plant came in the contact with the outside air.
Silver lines appear on the purple leafs.
The pattern pulse with visible energy.
Aelith, lightly grab a root which is not inside the pot soil but outside.
The root then was connected to small laptop, which at first show is completely dead, no battery.
Once, the root connect with the laptop.
The screen lit up showing the sign of laptop being charge.
