Spinout from a #One #Line #SciFi #Story

"well" the professor took the attention of the audience with just one word

"You're only allowed to skip this temporal mechanics class, when you arrive in your very own time machine from 10 years later!"

.....

"So" he said, "if you're sure about yourself, go on. i will start a count down of about one minute".

"Everyone who thinks he can skip this, go ahead and join me in about 59 seconds."

"58."

"57."

...

"Here we go my students, 10 seconds!" (After some ppl left the room really early, now there are already some other people streaming into the room)

...

"Four"

"Three"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Heck, i'm astounded... we have 15 students for ''this years class'', and already 5 come back at me as full seasoned time travelers it seems."

A slight chuckle makes the round in the room, before Professor Timely says:

"I'm especially astounded on you, Student? Müller. You didn't just go for getting time travel done on your own, but actually brought back 2 children with you? You didn't waste your decade at all!"

"Congratulations, this will be a immediate A+ for this lesson nonetheless.. Let's see on the others."

He starts to examine some of their presented tech.

Obviously, time travel tech nowadays just is as big as the palm of your hand... Of course, the batteries to power it where a totally different matter - and not critical to this inspection at least..............
