<blockquote>Integer factorization for large integers appears to be a difficult problem. There is no known method to carry it out quickly. Its complexity is the basis of the assumed security of some public key cryptography algorithms, such as RSA.

A matrix can also be factorized into a product of matrices of special types, for an application in which that form is convenient. One major example of this uses an orthogonal or unitary matrix, and a triangular matrix. There are different types: QR decomposition, LQ, QL, RQ, RZ.

Another example is the factorization of a function as the composition of other functions having certain properties; for example, every function can be viewed as the composition of a surjective function with an injective function. This situation is generalized by factorization systems...

Wei stared at the page, his eyes glazed over and uncomprehending. Why was math so hard? Why couldn't they just say what they wanted to say in plain Chinese? With a heavy sigh, he pushed away from the table and stretched his arms high above his head, feeling his shoulders pop and his back crack sweetly. It felt so nice. He was so close to just saying screw it and enjoying the rest of the afternoon in the woods, but...

But...

He'd gotten a package from home with his mom's homemade treats, a bag of dried crickets (which he was eating right now as he studied by the handful), and a letter saying that she was expecting him to take his studies very seriously and that he better not be failing any of his classes, no matter if they're classical classes or magical ones, and he knew that if she caught wind of him blowing off his classes then she would ship herself here and tan his hide.

The monkey boy whined and put another handful of crickets in his mouth, tapping the pen to the page.

<font color=ffcd05>"When am I even going to need factorization...."</font> he muttered to himself.

You getting soft sis, you must really be taking it easy at school That simple sentence was all it took in ear shot of her Physical Education tutor at home for Kaya to now need to do a workout routine at school. She was wearing a black sports bra under a very loose tank top and wearing pale yellow biking shorts as she did multiple pull-ups in the school gym. Today was upper body, tomorrow was core, the next was lower body. This had been going on for a week and she hurt... Oh how much she hurt. Kaya didn't even have time to notice a lot of people men and women watching her as she did pull up after pull up. Each and every one of them either jealous or getting nose bleeds.

"54....55....56....57...." Counting steadily she got to 60 before doing a small flip letting go of the bar spinning to come to a hand stand on top of the bar before doing another set pushing herself up. After some time she dropped from the bar to the ground grabbing a towel that hung not to far away wiping off her hands before drying herself of before heading out of the gym area, not bothering to shower. To most of creation her sweat was a pheromone that attracted all sorts of longing looks. She could care less however as her nose picked up a sent of something dry and crunchy.

Following the trail Kaya found herself in the Study Hall. It wasn't all that packed but she found the source of the odd smell. Quietly walking up behind what she assumed was a student a remarkable feat with hooves she found a package next to the boy. It was full of dried crickets. hmm how odd thinking to herself as she used some shadows to stealthily shoot one of the crickets to her hand. They seemed like ordinary crickets so Kaya plopped it in her mouth. It was crunchy, a little dusty but for some reason Kaya got the idea to look around until she opened a small portal home brining out a sugar shaker.

Shadow grabbing another cricket with out the boys notice she shook some sugar on it before eating another one. With the sweetness of the sugar it was really good... Who knew. So Kaya couldn't help but stealthily and slowly grabbing a group of three or four at a time bathing together into a handful. Until the boy sitting there asked to nothing in particular a question. Kaya took a second to think about that... Then she thought of something devious. She turned around and leaned her back on his "I do think so myself that half of this stuff is made up to fill our brains with nonsense and leave us with questions without answers." She punctuated the end of the sentence with a hearty hand full of sugar crickets going into her mouth with a loud crunch. She smiled devilishly.

Wei whined as he tried to focus on the work in front of him. He crinkled his nose as an odd scent entered his nose. It smelled... really weird. It smelled sickeningly saccharine and uncomfortably musky, a weird combination of the two that Wei had to say didn't appeal to him. In fact it kind of made him gag a little, as he could almost feel the scent layering like a film on his tongue and clotting up just at the entrance of his esophagus.

It was such a dreadful, uncomfortable feeling.

He tried to deal with it, tried to hold his breath and breath as little as possible to keep out the scent that layered on his tongue and the roof of his mouth. But he couldn't, and it seemed like the scent was more than just a passing breeze, but one that was in the library with him.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore and slammed his notebook shut with clear frustration. He dropped it into his bag, turning around to grab his bag of tasty crickets before A. noticing that quite a few of them were gone, and B. seeing a very strange looking creature behind him with a cricket in (her?) hand and shaker of some kind poised above it.

He realized that if he wasn't a monkey person he would probably be screaming right now.

"Uhm. Hello." He said, looking at her with his eyes wide and unblinking. "Can I... uh... help--"

That was when he realized. It was her. She was the source of the thick smell that made him gag. He stopped his sentence, tossing his bag of crickets into his satchel with the rest of his belongings. It was rude, he knew, but the smell was just so unbelievably retched that he had to get away from it.

Something was off, the reaction from the boy wasn't quite the one she expected as she finished off the rest of the crickets before putting the sugar back where she got it from. "Are you ok kid?" She was a little more worried when he started to move off quickly and she wanted to make sure that he was okay and begun following quickly casting a portal in front of herself to allow her to change immediately into her normal cloths as she followed. "Dude are you okay! I didn't mean to upset you like this! I'm sorry!"

Please don't follow me, he wanted to ask her, as he could feel his stomach sloshing uncomfortably. He could feel every inch of his throat, he could feel every movement of his eyes, every subtle twing of his muscles. He was hyperaware of everything and it hurt. The way she smelled, old pheromones and burning, it was such a terrible smell it was making him physically ill.

All at once the contrast became too much, his vision prickled at the edges and his vision spun, like he wasn't a person, like the slightest breeze could send him spinning through the air . Like a ship on rough waters, Wei LURCHED towards a trashcan (was it a trashcan? It smelled like one. It was about the height of one) and HEAVED.

It was a shame. Crickets didn't taste as good the second time.

He lost all feeling in his legs, sliding down the side of the trashcan, feeling the fur of his face get caught in the metal mesh. Not that he cared, and even if he did he would be too weak to free himself.

None of his senses were quite alive again after that sensory experience, so he blinked around him, wondering if the demon who'd been following him was still there.

Kaya found herself looking for someone to help her as she was next to the monkeyboy as his stomach rebelled against him. "Shit, shit shit..." was all she could say trying to think before she remembered that she was still in her gym clothes portaling into her room and popping out a minute later next to the boy again. Thinking on her hooves she picked up the monkey in her arms cradling him as she took long loping strides towards the medical wing of the school. "Stay together girl... Your heading to the nurse...he'll be okay....he will be ok...oh you better be okay..." she said as she looked down at his face. He seemed to be getting more and more ill by the second.

Wei's eyes were dozy, and he couldn't quite see or move in a way that was anything close to natural. It felt like every part of him was laden down with concrete and spackle, like he was a sack of potatoes instead of a person.

Where was he going? Where was the demon taking him? He couldn't see and he wasn't sure, but he was scared and confused and unhappy and he knew, he KNEW the second his nose worked again he would have a repeat of the incident.

But he couldn't express that. His tongue felt thick and heavy like a sack of sand in his mouth. He hated everything. He hated it so much.

Kaya skidded around a corner past some other students as they looked at her in wonder wanting to ask what the athlete such as Kaya was carrying a boy in her arms full tilt to someplace. Kaya had no time to stop and answer questions as she needed to get to a nurse as soon as possible. "Fuck, you better be sick for a good reason then bad crickets man. There are going to be people starting rumors and those spread faster then Demon Fire." Kaya said with worry in her tone as she looked down at him again.

It didn't take her much longer to burst through the door to the medical wing and rush through it looking for a nurse. "Shit, fuck, damn, ze'anley..." the last curse being in demon as a small puff of fire came out of her mouth to accentuate her displeasure at finding no nurse near by so she went to a room, found a bed and layed the boy down..."oh what to do.... I know how to heal a cut or gash or bruise. But an upset stomach is totally our of my skill set..... ze'anley" she said again bending over to open the boys eyes to see if his eyes wouldn't dialate like they should as if he had a concussion.

(INVASION BY THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OCTAIN!)

Octain was in the Nurse's office to try and win her number, though it wasn't much use since he was the only one there he was reading a book on stomach problems as he had his mask on the desk. His face in the shade as he flipped through the book. He heard the door open as he stood up and tossed his mask back on.

He mask gazed on the girl and the... Monkey.

"Good day to you. What's the issu-. Oh Hello Wei." Octain said with a smile under his mask. He chuckled a bit as he looked at the girl. "So what seems to be the problem? Too much fun and broke his pelvic bone?" He rubbed his chin trying to find out what was going on with a serious demeanour as his voice. "Jokes a side. What is the issue?"

"who are- gah!!" Kaya screamed as she jumped backwards away from the two of them. Before she did something drastic she pulled herself together and looked at the man with a glare wanting to punch him in the face even if it was a joke. "He was fine for several minutes before he looked ill and I chased after him to make sure he was ok to find him hurling into a can. So I brought him here." she brushed her hair back looking at the man. "can you help him?"
