I rushed to my hangout place at the University Courtyard to meet my fellow friends and asked for help. Shortly after while waiting at the Courtyard, Professor Heimerdinger appeared out of thin air.

P-PROFESSOR!”[/color] I screamed, I was snapped right of the place in shock.[/indent] [indent][color=gold]“What are you up to young man this early at the courtyard?”[/color] he asked.[/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“Uhmm, nothing Herr Professor,”[/color] I said [color=royalblue]“…just slackin’ off.”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Oh! Is that so? Perhaps you need your lone time, do you?”[/color] He took of his protective glasses, [color=gold]“Young man, be sure you won’t miss the event later. Hope to see you around.”[/color] He urged in a very polite manner.[/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“Herr Professor, I’m very sure it is of deem a success for the University under your name.”[/color] I complemented Professor Heimerdinger.[/indent] [indent]He replied with full of happiness, [color=gold]“Yes it is! It is for the future of Piltover University and of the Hextech community. Do be proud of it. You are one of the descendants of Piltovan forefathers. The son of science and technology.”[/color][/indent] Shortly after, he leaves out-of-our discussion. But I called him once more, [indent][color=royalblue]“Professor!”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Yes?”[/color] turned his head back on me.[/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“Sorry to bother you Herr Professor, I have question.”[/color] I said, I stayed polite, even though I’ve been thinking if I should be asking him the question I recently talked about with Professor Temarr.[/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Go on,”[/color] he replied. [color=royalblue]“I insist.”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“Hextech… I’m wondering where does it originally came from. Tell me professor, does Piltover really discovered it or produced it?”[/color] I said. [color=royalblue]“I think it would be great if the answer will come from you.”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Alright, you really wanted to now, do you?”[/color] He said as firmly as he could.[/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“Boy, do I!”[/color] I tried to keep a polite smile on my face, [color=royalblue]“Professor Heimerdinger, ever since when I was just a kid up until now, I never cease on looking for answers. My curiosity always drives me crazy.”[/color] I added.[/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Well then, around the borders and corners of Piltover, many says Hextech crystals was founded by Giopara Clan under the wilderness of Shurima region, and according to the rumors, it was guarded by a scorpion who also live in there. Others says, it was produced by Ferro Clan, and the proof is Camille, who bears sharp blades with Hextech body augmentation. Many wonders if she is now more machine than woman. But…”[/color] He sighed.[/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“… ‘But’ what professor?”[/color] I asked impatiently, my heart pounds. [color=royalblue]“Is that it?”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Honestly young man, it’s not a great call to divide the lore of Hextech for the future generations.”[/color] He muttered, with serious looks. [/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“What do you mean professor?”[/color] I asked, thinking and wondering and feeling deep thoughts. [color=royalblue]“Y-you mean both of the s-stories are true?”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=gold]“Yes! it is, when Jayce found out the potential of this powerful crystal, the Ferros clan find its way to produce it for the need of their family. Her family understands sacrifices. Most of Ferros wealth came through harvesting these rare crystals at Shurima from the Brackern crystalline scorpion.”[/color] He continued, [color=gold]“Even her great great aunt lost an arm during an early expedition to this crystal, her sacrifices inspired the Ferros family motto: 'For famill, will I give.'”[/color][/indent] [indent]He added in a very relax manner, [color=gold]“… utilizing shadow investment in Chemtech and Runic Alchemy, they developed a less powerful, but easier to make, synthetic hex-crystals.”[/color][/indent] I was enthralled, hooked up in the story even after the story was finished. [indent][color=gold]“More mysteries are still out there hanging inside and outside the corners of Piltover, needed to be discovered. Young man, I suppose you need to discover you own mystery.”[/color] He speaks conspicuously.[/indent] Perhaps, Professor Heimerdinger is right. May be discovering my own mystery will open my eyes to this subtling world of magic. In few moments, Professor Heimerdinger heads back to his office. I noticed my friends at the courtyard, with their strange looking eyes. [indent][color=royalblue]“You’re both late again?”[/color] I teased them, do our usual handshake signature.[/indent] Raild Boers, the brightest and smartest person from our group, and Levar Lahti, the jester in the group. I do really love them both, I enjoy every moments when I’m with them. They’re like brothers to me.

Am I?”[/color] I asked.[/indent] [indent]Levar laughed. [color=85E86F]“Loky of Phelan Clan, we waited on you till you finished your life-and-death discussion with the Professor.”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=royalblue]“Okay Fine,”[/color] I murmured, I took my cloak off my back, stood beside them and put my arms around their shoulders. [color=royalblue]“Just to pay off the lost time. I’ll treat you both!”[/color][/indent] [indent][color=C8C35C]“Sure thing, yes!”[/color] Raild speaks.[/indent] [indent][color=85E86F]“YEAAAAAH, THAT’S MY BOY!”[/color] Levar Shouted, [color=85E86F]“Definitely it’s on you. You have to pay us back, you make us wait for an hour.”[/color] Both of them speaks in chorus.[/indent] They continued to tease me along the way. I fought hard not to be annoyed in front of them, but still it’s fine if it’s them who accompany me.
