Zander gave Lux the best smile he could muster under the circumstances. Ugh. It's hard to try to be happy when you're being bogged down with all this number nonsense. SERIOUSLY, WHAT WAS THIS WOMAN EVEN TALKING ABOUT ANYMORE!? Yeah, Zander's lost. Really lost. And apparently so was Lux.

"Hm... Okay, uh seven, eight, and nine?" he thought outloud. Well he looked at Lux with a perplexed face. "So seven and nine are males?" he questioned more than he stated. "Which leaves eight to be a female?" That's all he really new according to Professor, Professor over there.

The third year began scribbling down on his pair quite vigorously.

SPOILER!!: Attempt at this number mumbo jumbo

Seven: Male; 3 (harmony) + 4 (Justice and Order) ; 1 (Unity) + 2 (Opinion) + 4 (Harmony) + 2 (Opinion) + 5 (Love) ;

Eight: Female; 4 (harmony) + 4 (harmony) ; 4 (harmony) x 2 (Opinion and Division)

Nine: 3 (Harmony) x 3 (Harmony) ; 1 (Unity) + 3 (Harmony) + 5 (Love) ; 4 (Justice) +5 (Love)


"Uh, that's all I've got?" He said as he showed Lux his notes. He could figure out the whole what numbers add and multiply, but the whole what they all mean together thing was completely lost on him.
Lux was relieved that she wasn't the only person who was clear
Y confused by this lesson. Whatever this Professor was trying to get at was lost on her. But yes, Zander seemed correct in the genders of the numbers, so that got him another nod from her.

Looking at his notes, she saw all the math work and tried to make sense of it. So the meanings were gathered from combining the meanings of other numbers? Was that how this worked? "Maybe Seven means harmony, justice and order." The other combinations he did could work, but that seemed the easiest since it only involved adding 3 and 4 together. "Maybe Eight is Four but extra powerful. Because I'm not sure about harmony and division working together." Unless that made sense after all; in that case just ignore her. "For Nine, I like unity, harmony, and love because it seems the most romantic of the options." Every once in a while this Puff liked romance, so 1 + 3 + 5 seemed like the best option to her.
