Comic Description:

Panel 1: A classroom setting with a teacher standing at the front. He is an older man with gray hair and glasses, speaking to a group of students. The students are diverse in appearance—one has short hair and glasses, another is blonde and smiling, and a third has dark hair and is looking attentively. The teacher says: "SO, YOU WANT TO BE A THEORETICAL PHYSICIST? WELL, GET READY FOR LONG HOURS, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, AND WEEKS AND WEEKS DOING THE SAME TASK OVER AND OVER AND OVER!"

Panel 2: In a contrasting scene, a middle-aged man, now in a casual setting at a desk in front of a computer, is smiling. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt and looks relaxed. The computer screen shows a notification that reads: "DING! LEVEL 60!"

The atmosphere suggests a casual achievement in a game, contrasting the earlier serious tone about theoretical physics.
