Over Two Years Later...

[ Manila, Philippines] [ December 12, 1935 ]

Inside a large manor, a girl can be seen to be tinkering with machinery and continuously coding using her PC inside a large laboratory.

The lab was filled with countless mechanical objects. There is also a large apparatus at the back with a tarp covering it. It's height was against the ceiling and it occupied ⅕ of the room.

**Creak** The door of the lab opened and a little girl with ash grey hair entered. She is wearing a maid uniform commonly seen in European countries long ago.

"Alexia, sama. Dr. Harris, is, here," the maid said without any fluctuation of emotion on her face.

Alexia looked up from her work and glanced at her assistant before going back to her work and saying, "I'm busy say to him that he can come tomorrow. By the way, where's your sister?"

"Bianca, went to, the port, to welcome, him. He's, arriving, today," she said as she looked at Alexia working.

Alexia looked up in surprise and said, "He's here? I thought it will be harder going through the FBI and CIA."

"We, got the, permission, from the, US and had, the support, of most, of their, scientific, institutions. Not surprising," the maid explained.

"So that's why! When did Bianca leave?" Alexia asked her as she stood up and began tidying her work while removing her gloves.

While she is removing her gloves, the maid stared at her with her eyes glowing in admiration. Although they were of the same age, she can't compare to her who is now a respected person and treated as a treasure of the Philippines. She can only look up and accompany this breathtaking talented girl and silently support her.

"She left, a few, minutes, ago," the maid answered her while looking at her tidy up her work.

Alexia tucked a lock of her lustrous black hair behind her ears and began to walk up to me before saying, "Then, what are you waiting for, Selena? Let's go!"

"Yes," Selena nodded with an imperceptible smile on her lips that quickly vanished unnoticed.

She followed Alexia out of the room and downstairs onto the garage. Arriving at the garage, you can see an odd sight. There is a sleek black car parked there that is incompatible with the current time. But it's appearance is not just the only thing odd about it.

Alexia opened the door and sat at the front seat while Selena sat at the back. The inside of the car screams modernity as it had similarities with 21st century cars. It also have what looked like a black screen in the middle.

Alexia then took out a USB drive from her pocket and inserted it at the port below the screen before pressing the button on the surface of the USB. The screen lit up to show a woman with waist length chestnut hair and dull violet eyes, she was wearing a blue rimmed white dress shirt with a red tie.

"Good morning, Amadeus," Alexia said with a smile.

But Amadeus just looked at her with a deadpan and said, "Can you not shut me down? It's annoying, let me stay in your PC or something."

"Hahaha~ sorry. You do know that my PC is not upgraded yet, right? So you can only wait here in the car," Alexia smiled wryly as she scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

"Yes, yes, I'll wait here. Where do we go?" Amadeus sighed and asked her.

Alexia smiled and said, "To the port. We'll meet a renowned genius scientist, one of many people I admired."

. . .

At the Manila Bay Port,

A public ship docked and people gradually went out of the ship. Not far away, a woman in a maid uniform was standing paying attention to the crowd as if waiting for someone. Her appearance attracted the attention of many.

When almost all passengers were out of the ship, an old man dressed in a black & white formal suit with a trench coat draped over hi shoulder walked out with his cane in his right and a suitcase in his left. The old man was alone and none payed attention to him.

As the old man boarded off the boat, he looked around the port as if searching for someone. Not far away from him he saw a little girl with auburn hair wearing a maid dress waving at him with a smile. He too smiled faintly and walked up to her.

"Little lady, I assume that you'll be bringing me to Madam Alexia, yes?" he smiled as he asked the little lady in front of him.

The little lady, Bianca, answered him cheerfully, "It is my pleasure to meet you sir! Alexia-sama admires you and yes I will bring you to her."

"Hahaha~ No, non, nein~ The pleasure is mine, little lady. Name's Nikola, Nikola Tesla," the old man stretched his hand forward and shook Bianca's hands.

**Murmur** **Murmur**

As the two shook hands, their attention was attracted by the murmurs of everyone around them. When they looked over, they saw a sleek black car driving over. This shocked Tesla greatly as it is beautiful and beyond all cars he'd seen in the past.

The car stopped across them and a little girl with white hair wearing a maid dress came out. The little maid then opened the front seat door and assisted a girl out. The girl was wearing a lab coat on top of her black dress shirt and she wears black khaki pants. Her lustrous black hair flowed down to her waist and along with her round gold rimmed glasses, it gave her a cool intellectual look.

Her black boots tapped as she walked forward to them, Bianca and Tesla. When she was in front them, Tesla was surprised when he saw Bianca suddenly bow towards her.

"Why didn't you say he'll be arriving today, Bianca? I would've welcomed him myself," the girl said.

"Ma-madam Alexia? Alexia Deus Rayes?" Tesla asked her with an astonished look.

Alexia looked at him and nodded, "Yes. Alexia Deus Rayes, pleasure to meet you."

Tesla looked at her silently. He went here expecting to see a young or old woman but he saw neither of them. Instead, the one in front of him is a cute little girl with about twelve or thirteen years old. A prodigy! If all news about her is true, then she is without a doubt a prodigy.

Alexia looked at him and smiled as she said, "It was unexpected, ain't it? A little girl."

Tesla laughed at her statement, "I don't care, man or woman, young or old, child or not, I came here to have a discussion with you. Nothing else matters."

Alexia smile faintly at his words, "Well then, I would not let your travel here be wasted."

The two maids assisted Tesla inside the car. He knew just from this meeting that he did not waste his time coming here. Maybe she can help him. Tesla smiled at this thought.
