Lesson
130 - The old wound.
(The day that spanned more than 1 volume has started here…)
(Urumi) Kanzaki is standing outside her house as she thinks
about what reason she should tell her mom for going out so
late. She started to think about telling her mom that she
is studying with her friends, but dismissed it because her
standard are much higher than them, so her mom will not believe
it. She then considering about telling her mom that she was
locked in at the library, but dismissed it again saying that
the reason is simply ridiculous. Then she blamed herself to
thinking like an adult, adding that she is thinking like she
want to hide the fact that she is sleeping at hey boyfriend's
house when it isn't the case. She assures herself, saying
that at least she returns home and not sleeping at other places.
She opened the door and started to announce that she had
returned, but she is greeted back by silence. She smiles and
walked across the hallway when suddenly her mom's voice asked
her from her office room about her whereabouts for the rest
of the day. She started to give the excuse that she is meeting
with her homeroom teacher to discuss on what high school she
should go about she graduated from Kichiyouji Private School.
Hearing that, her mom started to ask her whether she is speaking
the truth, saying that she has investigated that her homeroom
teacher, (Eikichi) Onizuka had never passed a single examination,
and then asked Kanzaki to switch schools with immediate effect.
Her mom added, that it took her a very long time to fix the
damage caused by Onizuka and because Kanzaki is late, she
can't get help from her.
Kanzaki apologized, saying that she will fix it now, but
her mom tells her that she had employed the services of specialists
from computers dealers. Kanzaki is stunned as her mom tells
her to go and read her books instead, because next year she
will be enrolled into Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Her mom then exclaimed on why such teacher like Onizuka must
appeared at a critical time for her. Suddenly, Kanzaki murmured
that her mom had already employed specialist to fix the damage.
She then tells her mom that for everything, her mom will surely
employ other people to do it, and that happened since she
is little.
Her mom then asked Kanzaki on what she actually wants to
say, saying that if she does not do it, Kanzaki will not be
able to get a good education, and that she will never be able
to get good results. Her job needs her to always stare into
the computer screen. Kanzaki then interjected, asking her
mom on why actually she wants to 'produce' her anyway. Her
mom is shocked and so are Kanzaki who didn't believe that
she actually uttered that question. Kanzaki started to apologize,
and offered to do everything in the house starting from next
morning, from cooking to washing dishes and clothes.
Suddenly her mom interjected, saying that Kanzaki is a real
smart kid, and that she should not waste her time doing such
trivial things. She then added that Kanzaki should instead
strived to fulfill her mom's ambitions, because, after all,
she 'produced' her just for that. Kanzaki is silent when she
hears her mom saying that, and her mom is shocked to see that
she actually uttered the words just then. Her mom then tells
her to study, and if she wants to eat, she can get some sushi
from the kitchen. Kanzaki replied that she wants to sleep,
because she has to get up early next morning to go to school.
Hearing her wants to go to school, her mom replied that she
should not go to such a useless school but Kanzaki ignored
her as she walked to her room. She entered her room and started
to squat at the door, as she started to remember how she used
to pile thick books near the windows so she can see the world
from there. At the windows, she will be able to see a house
with a large balcony, and one of the tenants is a girl about
the same age as her. Her family always does BBQ sessions at
the balcony, and as Kanzaki stares at them, she always wondered
about the feelings to have dinner with a mom and a dad.
Kanzaki also remembers that when she is little, her mo always
took her to overseas because of her mom's job requirements.
Once, her mom takes her to a research laboratory at a certain
university because her mom wants to meet a friend there. She
remembers asking the question about the whereabouts of her
father to her mom and her friend, and upon hearing that question,
her mom and her friend started to look at each other and her
mom simply replied that her father is a genius. At first,
Kanzaki is puzzled to hear her answer, but as she walked around
the laboratory, a research assistant called her and asked
her whether she wants to meet her father. Kanzaki nodded and
the research assistant takes her to a laboratory fridge, and
the research assistant tells Kanzaki that her father is inside
the fridge…
Back to the reality, the alarm clock rings and Kanzaki started
to get out of bed, sweating from her dreams last night. She
suddenly remembers that she has to go to the school, and when
she arrived, she is greeted by (Azusa) Fuyutsuki, (Kunio)
Murai, (Taadaki) Kusano and (Kouji) Fujiyoushi. She silently
exclaimed that if she goes to the school, there are always
classmates who will always accept her presence, plus there's
someone special, that's it, (Eikichi) Onizuka. Onizuka greeted
her as he brushes his teeth, and she greeted him back. She
then declared that she belongs to the school, because there
are always people waiting for her there.
She started to greet everyone, just to see that lots of students
are looking at her with suspicious eyes. Kanzaki is puzzled,
when suddenly she hears one of them exclaimed that that's
why Kanzaki can become very smart. Kanzaki is shocked to hear
them and surged forward. She then sees a poster filled with
newspaper cuts exposing her secrets (that she is conceived
via artificial insemination method with sperms of a genius)
pasted on the notice board. Kanzaki is really shocked as the
students started to wonder on who could have possibly pasted
the poster. Kanzaki's face started to change as one of the
students exclaimed that such things like 'buying' high-quality
genes really exists in the world.
Fuyutsuki waded through the students and started to torn
the poster away from the board. She then asked the students
on who can possibly pasted such a very defaming poster, and
then asked them to return to their respective classes. Fuyutsuki
then asked Kanzaki to calm down, but suddenly Kanzaki swings
her bag and hit the fire alarm emergency switch. The alarm
started to ring as Fuyutsuki asked Kanzaki on what she wants
to do. Meanwhile, someone is holding a lighter to the heat
detector, and suddenly the fire sprinkler started to work,
drenching both Kanzaki and Fuyutsuki. A very angry Kanzaki
started to walk away, as everyone is panicking with the sprinkler
drenching them all…
