Chapter 4 Time To Get Serious

Yoshii walked over to Yuko and Hideyoshi's house for the second day of studying.

"Man I hope today isn't going to be another pain in the ass as the last day. These practices are turning out to be a bigger pain then being in school and I really can't stand school." Yoshii said as he continued to walk towards the house. He then checked his watch and realized that he was running late. "Crap if I don't hurry up, I swear I'll be late and Yuko will kill me. And I'm really not in the mood to hear her yell." Yoshii said as he ran down the road.

He turned round a corner and slammed into some kid, knocking the both of them down.

"Sorry about that, I guess I didn't see you coming." The boy said as he stood back up.

"No problem. Probably shouldn't have been running so fast." Yoshii said as he stood up. He then saw the boy a little better. The boy had short brown hair and was a little shorter than him. He wore an all blue school uniform with blue hat on so Yoshii couldn't see the kids face. "Aw crap, I'm still late, if I don't hurry up and leave, and then Yuko will kill me. I really need to go and study for that stupid tournament that our principal is making me enter. Look kid I got to go sorry again for bumping into you." Yoshii said as he ran off.

The kid stood up and watched as Yoshii left. "Tournament huh, sounds like this kid is competing in a tournament. Wonder if it is the summoner test one that my schools entering. If so then things are definitely getting interesting. Well I suppose I should get to school as boring as it may be." The kid said as he headed toward his own school.

Yoshii arrived at Yuko and Hideyoshi's house a few minutes later and practically knocked the door down because he ran in so fast.

"Sorry I'm late, I bumped into someone and they made me late so please don't kill me." Yoshii said

"Hey Akihisa, you finally arrived huh." Hideyoshi said.

"Like I said Yuko, I'm sorry don't kill me please. It wasn't my fault." Yoshii said terrified.

Does he think I'm my sister? God Yoshii, only you would keep getting use mixed up. Hideyoshi thought annoyed and slightly embarrassed.

"Akihisa, it's me Hideyoshi, not my sister Yuko." Hideyoshi said.

"Huh seriously, oh yea now that I get a better look at you, I guess you are Hideyoshi. So were exactly is your sister?" Yoshii asked as he scanned the room.

"She had to go to the school today for something important. She refused to tell me what it was but she asked me to stay home today and help you study. She said she'd tell Iron Man why I wasn't in class today so it's no big deal. This way I get out of school and all I have to do is help you study. SO what subject do you want to start off with?' Hideyoshi asked.

"You're going to allow me to choose really. Man this is already better then when I was studying with Yuko. So then I guess Math maybe. I've been struggling with that some of the Math problems that were on some of the tests that Yuko gave me." Yoshii said.

"Okay then that should be easy. Still things would be even easier if we had Mizuki with us. She's great with Math."

"You couldn't be more right there Hideyoshi but I suppose there's not much we could do about it so let's get to work." Yoshii said with a grin.

"Okay then" Hideyoshi said as they took out a textbook and started studying.

"Hey, how about we take a little break." Hideyoshi said after about an hour and a half of studying.

"Yea sure surge, Man I'm actually getting a break huh. This is already ten times better then yesterday when your sister was my tutor. All she did was keep yelling at me each time I messed up and made me feel like a complete idiot."

"Well she and I are two completely different people. Besides, you're actually doing pretty well today." Hideyoshi said as he looked over some problems Yoshii had and they were seeing some improvement from earlier ones he did.

"Thanks for that Hideyoshi. I just don't get why Yuji and I are both part of this stupid tournament."

"Yuji's part of it too? No one ever told me that." Hideyoshi asked. This was all news to him.

"Yea I guess I forgot to tell you. But Yuji and I were both chosen along with Yuko, Himeji, and Shouko."

"Well the last three I can understand perfectly but I will admit that I'm a little shocked about you and Yuji. Still, I'm sure they chose you two for a good reason. It's not like the school and Shouko to make such a stupid call so I'm sure they did all of it for a very good reason." Hideyoshi explained.

"I hope so, although your sister sure as hell doesn't think so. She just thinks I'm an idiot and useless. Still it's not like I can really blame her." Yoshii said.

Hideyoshi remained quiet for a minute. "Loo, my sister does things her own way a lot of the time and although she's harsh, she does care about the school more than anything and will try as hard as possible to help it out. She may not think your smart and she may believe that Shouko and the whole school messed up in choosing you and Yuji, but I can bet that she will do everything in her power to help you guys out. We may not get along but we still know that much about each other." Hideyoshi said with a grin.

"Well I guess your right there Hideyoshi. Thanks for telling me that. SO do you think she went to school today because of some plan she has to help me study better?" Yoshii asked.

"I'm certain of it." Hideyoshi said with a grin.

"This is a strange request you're making me. One things for sure, I never thought I'd hear it from you." Principal Kudo said to Yuko.

Yuko had come to school that day and headed straight towards the principal's office to ask her something important.

"I know it doesn't sound like something I'd ever ask, but you got to believe me when I say that it's important." Yuko said.

"If we did this, it would cost the school quite a lot of money." Kudo said as she squinted her eyes.

"I know all of this but it may be the only way I can convince Akihisa Yoshii to study his hardest. I hate to admit it but he did beat Shouko because he was able to study all night but the only reason he did that was because he had reason to try so hard. With my plan, we may give him another reason to want to get his grades up. I already tried forcing him to work for endless hours, it's not working so I need this plan to work but I need your permission." Yuko said.

"You do make a good point. And the team that wins the whole tournament will end up winning a lot of money that all gets donated to the school so maybe your right. But are you certain about this plan of yours."

"Yes, my brother has sworn to me multiple times that we Yoshii can do well if he has the time to study and if he has a reason to study. I know I normally hate my brother, but this time I'm choosing to believe what he says. After all he is in the same class as Yoshii so I guess he has to know something about him." Yuko explained

"I can't believe that you're trusting your brother. I find this really amusing. Things are becoming interesting if I may say so."

"Interesting?' Yuko said confused.

"Yes. I'm just astounded about how much you're trying to get involved in this. Still it only proves that it was smart choosing you to help Yoshii study. So I'll be glad to agree. Well then, is that all you wanted to ask or was there anything else you needed to ask me."

"That was all for now. I'll be heading back home. I suppose Yoshii and my idiot of a brother are goofing off instead of studying." Yuko said as she left office and headed home.

Yuko arrived at her house and went in and much to her surprise, Yoshii was studying hard.

"I'm surprised to actually find you two studying. I thought you two would goof off and not study at all." Yuko said.

"That's hurtful, I hoped you'd believe in my awesome abilities some more." Yoshii said

"How did he do?" Yuko asked Hideyoshi.

"Surprisingly well, we studied in math and his grades saw some increase so I think he's doing well."

"Let me be the judge of that." Yuko said as she looked at some of the work Yoshii and Hideyoshi did. Much to her surprise, the work was actually done well.

"So what do you think? Pretty good right" Yoshii said.

"I'll admit that it's not terrible work. And I suppose I've seen worse." Yuko said.

"That's it? Why can't you just admit that I did a great job?"

"Because you sill made some other problems. Look as good as you may have done today, you're going to have to get used to doing a lot better. Otherwise, we have no chance of winning this stupid tournament." Yuko said

"Fine then, you know you could give an actual complement once in a while." Yoshi said annoyed. "And besides who are you to talk? Why should you complain about me when you weren't even here today? You just left poor Hideyoshi to study with me"

"Look, the principal had something very important to talk with me about. I simple went there to see what it was."

"And what did she want exactly?"
Yuko got quiet for a second. "She said that the winning school also gets a lot of prize money donated to the school and if we win, she intends to get better equipment for class F since they have done so well this year." Yuko said.

Both Yoshii and Hideyoshi stared at Yuko shocked. They were both quiet for a minute and then Yoshii suddenly acted all excited. "Are you serious? This is so cool, now we can get some good equipment so we can all study harder together. This will make school life so much easier since we won't have that garbage equipment we always had." Yoshii said happily.

"Well that's true but we have to win the whole thing. You do know how hard that is to do right?" Yuko asked.

"Don't you worry about that, now I intend to study harder than ever and I'm sure we'll do fine? Plus we got Himeji, Shouko and you on our team You three are the smartest people I know so I'm sure you guys can make Yuji and I smarter students. And then we'll have good equipment." Yoshii said happily.

I can't believe how easy it was to get him to try harder. Well now I just hope that his scores improve but as for now, I suppose I should be glad that he is willing to work and complain less. Yuko thought to herself as she had a small gin on.

"So let's get back to studying." Yoshii said as he went to grab a book.

"Look, I've had a busy day, and I'm feeling tired so why don't you go home early today but starting tomorrow, I swear things will become ten times harder. Your first two days will be looked back on as happy memories now that we're starting the harder times and now that we're getting serious." Yuko said in an orderly way.

"Yea sure whatever, as long as we can get ready to win this thing, I'm fine with all that." Yoshii said as he grabbed his bags and left.

"Well he seemed happy about that news." Yuko said after Yoshii had left.

"True but can you really blame him. He now has a reason to win this thing. Like I said, Yoshii want a fun school life for him and his friends but he thinks that with all the shitty equipment class F has, our life's will be miserable. Bu as you can see, that's one of his god qualities." Hideyoshi said.

"I guess so; still I find it shocking that a baka like him even has any good sides. But as long as he studies hard, I suppose tings will turn out fine."

"Yea I know. Still it was nice o you to ask the principal for the equipment to be given to class F. I never thought that that would be what you were planning but I guess it worked out in the end." Hideyoshi said happily.

"I did what I had to do, and besides you better not tell anyone that I asked the principal to do that or I swear I'll make your life a living hell."

"Thanks for the warning, is good to know sis. Well looks like today ended up to be a huge success. Yoshii did better on his tests, You got permission from the principal to give equipment to class F, Yoshii now has a reason o study harder, and I got out of school for the day and sine you told Iron Man about why I wasn't there, I'll get in no trouble at all." Hideyoshi said happily.

"Darn it, I knew I forgot something. Well I guess your teacher's going to be pissed tomorrow." Yuko said.

"What, you forgot to tell Iron Man! He's going o kill me know!" Hideyoshi said as he started to panic.

"Sorry about that." Yuko said as she laughed a bit to herself.

Yoshii was lying in his bed after he had just finished studying a little more at one. He was getting ready to fall asleep. "I guess she's not so bad after all. I know she said that the principal told her that, but I bet she asked for us to get new stuff. This is some good new now and I intend to win this tournament now. Before I go to bed, I should probably let Yuji know about what happened." Yoshii said as he grabbed his phone and called his best friend.

"Hello." Yuji's voice said as I picked up.

"Yuji hey what's up?"

"What do you want at this hour Akihisa?"

"I just wanted to ask you how your studying has been."

"A living hell, what do you think. Shouko keeps making me work for a long time and whenever I do really well, she frekin clings on to me and tries to kiss me. It's annoying." Yuji said

"That sounds like a pain. Well tings have been hard on my end. I don't know If Shouko told you yet but I have to study with Yuko."

"She mentioned it, I feel bad for you man."

"Yea the first day was an annoying one but you got to hear what happened today." Yoshii said as he explained what would happen if they all won the tournament.

"No way, so if we win then our class gets new equipment." Yuji said.

"Yea I know pretty awesome right?' Yoshii said.

"Yea"

"So listen. I think we both really need to start studying seriously. I hate it but I want to win this thing really bad now. So I'm going to be working harder."

"Fine then, I guess it's time I start taking school seriously again too." Yuji said.

"Seriously again, what do you mean by that. Did you stop or something?" Yoshii asked.

"Les just say I haven't been trying, or studying as hard as I'm capable of but I suppose it's about time I take thing seriously again." Yuji said proudly.

"Great, I know our chances are low, but we have to win this thing." Yoshii said as he and Yuji hung up their phones. "We must win." Yoshii repeated to himself.
