Lesson #187 – Her secret.
(this one is filled with flashbacks)
(Yoshito) Kikuchi is waiting at the airport as the e-mail
he received earlier from his Internet friend in Lesson #185
is displayed on his PDA. The man then appeared wearing sunglasses,
and Kikuchi asked if he really ‘Sunakujira’ (webmaster
note: the nickname of his Internet friend that first appeared
in volume 7 and in some scenes after that). He then introduced
himself as the man started to remove his sunglasses. The man
then greeted Kikuchi, asking whether that it is really their
first time meeting face-to-face, and it turns out that ‘Sunakujira’
is actually Takumi, much to Kikuchi’s shock.
Kikuchi started to stammer, asking whether the person behind
the nick’ Sunakujira’ is Takumi after all, and
Takumi replied that he is right. He continued, saying that
since that ‘event’ happened, he is always worried
about them. Kikuchi started to speculate that because of that
reason, he uses the nick ‘Sunakujira’ and befriends
him on the Internet. Suddenly Takumi cuts him out, asking
for Kikuchi to talk about it later, because now they have
to find (Miyabi) Aizawa first. He continued, saying that Ogi-sensei
had called him earlier and updates him on what have happened.
Kikuchi is shocked to hear him, but Takumi continued to say
that he have to tell Aizawa something. An impatient Kikuchi
lashed at him for ignoring him, and asked on why he still
keeps on contacting Ogi even that Ogi have betrayed him and
Aizawa. Takumi replied that Kikuchi is wrong to say that Ogi
have done bad things. Kikuchi is stunned to hear him, as Takumi
continued, saying that he will tell him the real story later
because the most important thing they have to now is to go
to the school because he have to tell Aizawa something so
that she will realize that he have done what he can do to
help her, who is now trapping herself beneath the darkness
of her heart…
Meanwhile, back at the school, the students are still talking
about the e-mail, and one of them asked a teacher whether
what have happened in the e-mail is true. The angry teacher
instead tells the students to return to their classes and
upon hearing that, the students lashed at the teacher, threatening
that they will make a report to the PTA. They then ignored
the teacher as the students decided to go and find the principals,
as (Shiro) Shibuya and another of the ‘Angel’
group members smile as they looks at the commotion.
Meanwhile, in another part of the school, a cautious (Hiroshi)
Uchiyamada is looking around for something. He then vanished
behind a building, and in an instant, he is shown slowly driving
yet another new Cresta, now with an air bed transfixed on
roof from behind the building. He started to laugh hysterically,
saying that everything is alright. Then he exclaimed that
even the gods of Hell will not realize that a Cresta is hidden
in a secluded corner in the school, and he continued to laugh.
He declared that he will not let his car being destroyed again,
because his insurance coverage contract is nearly being terminated
with so many claims, thus he knows that if his Cresta is damaged
again, he have to shoulder all the expenses to repair it.
As he parked his car, he started to be puzzled on why the
school is very noisy, and then remembered that he can’t
park his car near the school building, or else his car will
be destroyed again by students who committed suicide. He decided
to move forward for at least 2km (no typo) but decided again
against it because he fears that the nearby tree will fall
down on his car in case an earthquake occurred. He then remembered
that he have put an inflated air bed on the roof of his car,
when he suddenly noticed a ribbon landing on the windscreen
of his car.
The puzzled Uchiyamada comes out from the car and takes the
ribbon as he commented that the ribbon is used by female students
as part of their uniform. He smells the ribbon, finds out
that the ribbon smells good and he started to wonder about
the owner of the ribbon. He then looks upwards to see where
the ribbon comes from, and instead he is greeted with a sight
of an underwear wore by Aizawa who is standing on the ledge,
much to Uchiyamada’s shock.
Back inside the school building, (Azusa) Fuyutsuki and (Saeko)
Iijima can only watched the riot caused by the students who
wants to know from the teachers whether the e-mail content
is true or not. The teachers tried to explain that they themselves
don’t know about it, but the student accused them of
trying to sweep such a potentially embarrassing issue under
the carpet. Fuyutsuki then asked Iijima whether the Ogi-sensei
mentioned in the e-mail is truly an evil person, and Iijima
replied that she is right. She continued, saying that he is
the main reason why the 4th class started to bully their homeroom
teachers. Fuyutsuki is silent as Iijima commented that their
friend has been betrayed by him, thus their actions, and she
asked Fuyutsuki whether the students will do such damaging
things on their teachers without any valid reason.
Fuyutsuki then exclaimed that they have to find Aizawa first
to prevent her from doing anything stupid, and asked Iijima
to go with her to find Aizawa. Suddenly, from outside, they
hear Uchiyamada screaming for Aizawa not to do stupid things,
adding that he can see her underwear from below. He added,
asking her whether she doesn’t really care having her
underwear seen by the students of the school, and Fuyutsuki
looks above from the window and sees Aizawa on the roof. Both
Fuyutsuki and Iijima are shocked to see her, and their shock
started to turn into panic.
Meanwhile, (Kunio) Murai and (Taadaki) Kusano who have only
returned from helping (Eikichi) Onizuka cleaning the pond
are shocked when a student tells them that Aizawa had jumped
the safety fence at the roof and tried to jump to her death.
The stunned Murai asked the student on which building Aizawa
want to jump off from and the student replied that she is
on the building for middle-school section. Shibuya and the
‘Angel’ group member chuckled when they hears
them, and exclaimed that things can only get better from that
point onwards. His accomplice added that everything is going
according to plan, and that (Misuzu) Daimon will surely be
happy with the result. As Murai scrambled to go to the roof,
Shibuya commented that Aizawa will commit suicide because
she was raped by a teacher, and then Onizuka will have to
resign because of the incident. The teachers started to panic
too as they learns about Aizawa on the roof, and they are
undecided on which kind of authorities that they should call
as Shibuya commented that the students then will start to
hate the teachers. His accomplice is silent as Shibuya declared
that he will finish all the students who believed on adults
by dividing them. He started to laugh, as he asked Daimon
whether he is right.
At the school’s roof, Fuyutsuki is asking Aizawa on
hat she is trying to do, and that standing outside the safety
fence is very dangerous. Fujiyoushi then screamed telling
Aizawa not to do stupid things, but Aizawa interjected, asking
Fujiyoushi not to try and stop her. She continued, that he
knows himself that the whole school already knows about that
‘event’, thus she has to tell everyone about the
truth. If she didn’t do that, the 4th class will surely
become the talking point in the school forever. She added
that after she tells everyone about the truth, she herself
will be very ashamed to continue living.
Fujiyoushi countered, saying that the ‘event’
had happened a year ago and thus she need not thinking about
it too much. Aizawa replied that he is wrong, because the
‘event’ is not merely and ‘event’
that happened a year ago. She explained that everyday in the
year that ensues after that ‘event’, she always
feel very bitter in her heart, because she knows that the
one should be in fault in that ‘event’ is her…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flashback mode – one year ago]
The students of the Year 2 4th class are glum after learning
that Takumi will be expelled from the school and sent of delinquency
school in Okinawa. The news then leaked in about Ogi having
5 stitches on his head, and what Takumi has done for Aizawa.
Suddenly Ogi entered the class, and then asked on why Takumi
has done such things. Suddenly a voice asked him to just tell
them what he wants, and a paper knife flies and land on the
blackboard right behind his head. The students look angrily
at him, and then they started to exit the class, as the bewildered
Ogi asked them on where they are going in the middle of the
homeroom session.
[End of flashback mode]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aizawa then commented that everyone becomes like that (bullies)
because of her. She feels that after the incident, her classmates
have gradually started to distance themselves from her, and
the situation deteriorated beyond the point of no return.
There are times where she herself think of spilling the beans
about the truth, and then committed suicide, but in the end
her cowardice prevents her from doing just that. Because of
this, she doesn’t have any avenue to rationalize her
actions thus she becomes someone who hates teacher very much,
or else she will become insane because she is unable to justify
her actions. Still, she failed (or too scared) to explain
the truth, thus she led the students on their efforts to bully
the teachers…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flashback mode…again]
Another of the 4th class female homeroom teacher is shown
in a nude poster (like Onizuka in vol.3), as the real teacher
herself is stunned to see it along with a lot of students.
Aizawa herself is smiling devilishly as she thinks that all
adults are evil, particularly teachers. She then declared
that she is innocent, and that teachers are the ones who make
her to act the way she is today.
[Flashback mode end]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She then asked the students whether she is really innocent,
when she is actually the guilty party. She then continued,
saying that if she bullied the teachers, the rest of the class
doesn’t have to follow suit, thus if anything happened;
only she will have to take the responsibility. Murai and Fujiyoushi
are silent when they hear her, and she exclaimed that when
she learned that someone in the class wants to do something,
she will usually pre-empt their actions. Thus, now they have
to leave her alone because she doesn’t want to drag
them down anymore, thus she has to die now.
Suddenly, Murai stands forward and asked Aizawa on what she
is talking about. He reiterated the fact that she is the innocent
one (or victim), thus she should return to the safe side of
the safety fence. Suddenly a voice interjected, saying that
the effort to drive out the teachers is still not finished,
thus she can’t return to safety yet. The students are
shocked to hear the voice, and then they sees Shibuya stepping
forward as he asked Aizawa whether she agreed with him if
he says that teachers are the scum of the earth. He himself
started to have a flashback of his own…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Flashback mode start]
A glum-looking Shibuya is sitting on a classroom table without
his uniform on and a few hands are drawing graffiti on his
body. Suddenly, his teacher announced to the rest of his class
that the class will play the ‘drawing on body’
game. The teacher continued, saying that the class will draw
some anti-ghost holy mantras on his body to chase out the
ghost plaguing his soul. A student asked the teacher to also
think up sentences to be written on Shibuya’ body, and
after some consideration, the teacher decided on the phrase
“Good Luck” and everyone in the class started
to laugh…
[Flashback mode end]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shibuya exclaimed that he is still disgusted every time he
remembers that scene, as (Noboru) Yoshikawa is speechless
after he hears him. Shibuya then continued, asking the students
whether they have realized the fact that if they believed
on teachers, they are the ones who will suffer in the future.
He then asked Aizawa whether he is right, and then tells the
stunned Aizawa to just jump off the building, and die in front
of everyone. He then will tell the media about her death,
saying that she commits suicide because she has a vengeful
feeling towards her teachers. Fujiyoushi is puzzled about
what Shibuya is trying to do, as Shibuya started to grasp
the safety fence and asked Aizawa whether she wants to follow
her advice, because if she does just what he says, Onizuka
will surely be fired by the school authorities. Not only that,
Onizuka will also be hounded by the mass media, causing him
of not being able to find another teaching job for the rest
of life. He tells her that he knows that she really wants
such an ending to Onizuka.
A teacher asked Shibuya whether he is trying to incite her
to commit suicide, as Aizawa is muttering the word ‘no’
under her breath. Shibuya exclaimed that she should be brave
and jumped, when suddenly; Aizawa snapped and screamed that
the ending Shibuya has visualized is not the one she wants.
Suddenly a voice exclaimed that she is so stubborn, he can’t
stand her attitude anymore and that she should tell everyone
about that ‘event’, the real story. She turned
around to see Onizuka sitting on the safety fence, smoking
while digging his nose, and he asked Aizawa whether she really
wants to listen to what teacher-hater Shibuya have said before;
jumping to the ground causing her body to be smashed to bits.
Shibuya is stunned to see Onizuka appearing from nowhere,
sitting right on top of the fence where he is.
A panicking Murai asked Onizuka on why he must provoke Aizawa
to jump to her death, adding that she doesn’t deserve
to die. A few students seconded him, but Onizuka ignored them
as he scratches his cheek with his feet. He then asked Murai
and the rest of the students, whether they still want to say
such things now, and he turned to Aizawa, saying that she
is an evil kid, who only knows scaring her friends and classmates.
He then smiled and exclaimed to her that the time to end what
have happened has arrived, and reminded her about the ‘event’.
He continued, saying that Ogi has already told him everything,
about what has really happened one year ago.
Aizawa is shocked to hear him, as Onizuka jumped down to
the dangerous side of the safety fence right with Aizawa.
He commented that Ogi has never really betrayed Aizawa, and
he asked her whether he is right. He asked the stunned Aizawa
again whether he is right to say that everything she has done
was a big lie, and that she have faked everything that have
happened, much to the shock of everyone on the roof.
Fujiyoushi, Yoshikawa, (Anko) Uehara, a few teachers and
Murai are shown being speechless after hearing what Onizuka
have said, as Onizuka continued, saying that her claims of
being betrayed by her teacher one year ago, and also the naked
pictures ‘evidence’ and the blackboard writings
are all fake. Aizawa is silent as Shibuya and the students
are puzzled to hear him. Tears started to roll on Aizawa’s
face after hearing what Onizuka has said, while the students
started to wonder whether what Onizuka has said is true…
FINISHED.
