And in the midst of ugly tragedy that could've knocked anyone unconscious, Eisen was wide awake. He had watched as he crumbled under the weight of his own ambition.

	He cut ties with his family after they disowned him, keeping himself busy by getting into engineering books and slowly building back his hands. First they were mini-stilts made of wood and tied together with copper wire, then they were fork-like mechanisms made of scrap metal. Eventually, he was able to create fully functional hands with a few months of studying and a lot of elbow grease. His ingenuity caused his reputation to spread by word-of-mouth, and he soon gets a job in the Education Division. There he never seems to stay in one place, going home particularly late carrying new blueprints and arriving stupidly early.

	~~== Class Notes ==~~
	~~Below are a collection of notable events/exchanges in Prof. Grimes's classroom:~~

	~~'''When student asks if he's ever been wrong:'''~~

	~~"...0.0001% chance of happening. Let's work with the 99.9999% that matters. "~~

	~~'''When correcting his students:'''~~

	"I simply won't tolerate watching you fail. You increase your success rate by 2.5% each time you try again. The components are misaligned by approximately 0.03 centimeters. Now, invert the values there-"

	~~'''When asked why he's so hard on his students:'''~~

	"The world doesn't reward mediocrity. Their mistakes have weight and have a high probability of costing lives. Because I refuse to let them walk out of this classroom incompetent, I want all of you to rely on skill."

	~~'''When flattered:'''~~

	~~“Flattery has zero impact on the grading system. I suggest you don't do that again."~~

	~~'''When asked about his hometown:'''~~

	~~"I weighted the calculations once. If I had stayed, the probability of me ever being happy was approximately 3.4%. If I left, it increased to 47%. I chose the most optimal outcome."~~

	~~''It's said that after his lecture people in the faculty office saw his hands jitter a little but sources are unreliable.''~~

	~~'''One time in class when a student's invention explodes and a shrapnel almost hits him:'''~~

	~~"A 4.2 millimeter difference between safety and fatal injury. Start over, but this time make something that isn't fundamentally flawed."~~

	~~'''When a student complains about a hard task/lesson:'''~~

	~~"I've seen worse, so you're not special in that regard. But I wouldn't squander your potential if I were you. You know I don't waste time on those who give up."~~

	~~'''When he actually is impressed:'''~~

	~~"This is sufficient. Acceptable quality."~~

	~~''Later, it is noted that Prof. Grimes had put that student's prototype on display with his written approval on paper beside it.''~~

	~~'''When someone uses magic:'''~~
