[B]Gratia Mindaro - Mathematics[/B]

The scratching of Gratia's pen against paper stopped. The dark-haired huntress tapped her ballpoint shut, dropping it down onto her workbook and letting it slowly roll down the curved surface to lightly collide with the edge of her far thicker textbook. She rose her head, onyx eyes meeting Luke's gray. There was the slightest hint of an intense, unknowable emotion, before it disappeared into the hardy and utterly uncaring gaze that would have been so familiar to the querying boy. Nothing interrupted the stare. She seemed to be studying him, just like she had during that meeting on the airship. 

"[color=66cd00]Question 13e?[/color]" she asked flatly, having already overheard the hushed tones mere moments earlier. "[color=66cd00]Well, you're fucking slow.[/color]"

Unlike some of the other students, the Mistralese teenager had already finished the assigned questions, and instead had been taking the time to work ahead and familiarise herself with the rest of the mathematics course. Focus on integral calculus rather than differential, further focus on trigonometric graphs and circle functions ... not too much trouble, but definitely things that she could not half-heartedly work on, lest she fuck up. Not that it was possible. She would not fuck up here of all places.

Ah yes, the real fucking stupid question. She had done it with little difficulty, but whoever formulated it was probably some fucking midget who didn't give a shit about challenging the minds of students. Seriously, [i]ln-fucking-1?[/i] That was a goddamned joke.

With little fanfare, she flipped to the back of her exercise book, ripping out a page in a single instant. Gratia Mindaro immediately went to work, tapping open her ballpoint pen again and scrawling on the paper. She did not stop for an instant, the rapid movement of her writing utensil almost hypnotic in its gracefulness.

y		=(5x^3 + 5)(5e^4 + ln1)/5x^6
		=(5x^3 + 5)(5e^4 + 0)/5x^6
		=(5x^3 + 5)(5e^4)/5x^6
		=(25x^3e^4 + 5e^4)/5x^6
		=5x^-3e^4 + 5x^-6e^4
dy/dx	=-15x^(-4)e^4 - 30x^(-7)e^4
		=(-15e^4)/x^4 - (30e^4)/x^7

"[color=66cd00]Don't even fucking bother studying up on this shit,[/color]" said Gratia, throwing the sheet of paper onto Luke's desk. "[color=66cd00]It's completely retarded. Go reread pages 381 to 410 instead if you don't want to suck at this. Maybe watch Khan's videos if you're still somehow fucking lost.[/color]"

Present on the paper was also a step-by-step of how she had done the question, as well as references to the resources Luke would probably need to successfully pass the course. The Mistralese huntress preferred to do things thoroughly. There was no point in half-assing anything.

"[color=66cd00]Now fuck off and stop bothering me.[/color]"
