'Wow. I have this guy three times today. I hope he lightens up.'
Goku got ready for his mechanics class. He wrote 'Mr. S' on the board and prepared the files for upload by his students. His students came in. He saw his son was in his mechanics class as well. He would have a talk with Jhones after lunch.
He said "Welcome to applied mechanics. You see the little box of parts on your desk? Use your computer for directions and a diagram. You each have a different project. Any questions?"
A couple of hands raised. "Yes?"
"Is this for a grade?"
Goku answered "No." He saw many of them relax. "Any other questions?" There were none. Goku walked around and observed them as they worked. Once they were nearing completion, he said "Oh, I lied earlier. You are getting a grade and you have ten minutes to finish." He saw many panicked looks and heard protests and scrambling.
"Time." He was at his desk. "Check your grade files." When they did, they looked back up at him surprised. He said "Most of you worked very well when you weren't under pressure, but you had trouble completing when the pressure was back. You must learn how to work, and work well, under pressure. Today, I gave you your grade for following directions and trying. From now on, grades will be based on skill, application, knowledge and effort. Your homework is on the board. Please write it down. I will take it up tomorrow."
The students left. Gohan looked at this man again as he filed out. He looked so much like his father, but his ki wasn't there. Could he be hiding it that well? He had never really though that his father was as naïve as he let on, but how could he prove it?'
'Needles!' Gohan thought, trying to figure out a way to find out if Mr.S was his father. 'No, lots of people are scared of needles. He had him for self-defense class too. He'd know then. He went to his other class then lunch.
Goku went to Jhones' office and knocked on his door angrily. "Come in, Son." Goku walked in and opened his mouth. Jhones said "Hold on a moment. Let me soundproof the room. I have a feeling this is going to get loud." He did.
Goku said "The only reason why I agreed to work for you in the first place was so that my family wouldn't find out, and now, you put my son in two of my classes!"
"Three."
"All three!"
"Calm down, Son. He's just in your Monday and Wednesday classes. Surely you can handle your own son for part of the day?
Goku sighed "Yes, sir."
Jhones said "Now that your temper's deflated, is there anything else you wish to talk to me about?" He raised an eyebrow.
Goku sheepishly mentioned the matter of the gameboys and the wok. He said "And besides that, Gohan needs to see me being a security guard."
Jhones nodded. He said "The real guards get here at seven A.M. I'll introduce you to them tomorrow. You can go out with them on lunch duty. Your son should be able to see you. Make sure your hair's sticking out and that you remember to take off the glasses."
Goku nodded "What about the earlier stuff?" he asked sheepishly.
Jhones waved his hand "No problem, Son, but you'll have to come in and do a project for me this Saturday."
Goku nodded. He left to his office and ate lunch then stretched. He typed on his HC 'I can't wear a lab coat to teach self-defense.'
'All we have is black spandex and you wouldn't want to wear your normal gi. That would really give you away.'
Goku thought 'I guess it will have to do.'
'A set will be sent up to your office. Keep your hair up and glasses on.'
'ok.' Goku sent the dishes away and thought of what he could teach them. He would have to see first what they already knew. They would hopefully know the basic moves, stances, etc. He smirked. It should be interesting. He was curious to see how Gohan would react to basic training. He stretched again and put his spandex suit up when it came on.
Spandex would take some getting used to, but it was easy to move in. He stretched again and did a hundred push-ups. He switched to his right hand then jumped up and checked his appearance. It was time. He adjusted his glasses and put on the trench coat that came with the office and left.
He had thirty minutes before the students arrived at the gym. He checked the place out and messaged Jhones 'Jhones, I know this isn't all there is to this gym. Where are you hiding the rest of it?'
'The rest of it is for the advanced students, usually juniors or seniors, and select members of the staff. I'll give you a tour of it after work.'
'Alright' They broke connection and he repocketed his HC. He walked around. He took his HC back out and pulled up a blueprint of the gym building, then went to check out the weight room. Not heavy, but they should work fine for the students (reminder here: not heavy for Goku could be anything short of a thousand pounds!)
He walked back to the gym and waited. Once they were all there, he said "Not all of you are wearing your gym clothes. On Wednesday I expect all of you to be wearing them. This is a hour and a half course. The first twenty minutes will be stretching, then a ten minute run around the campus. When we get back, we will work on technique. Any questions?"
"Yeah, are you serious?" One student replied. Goku noted his face and voice.
"Ten minute run! Are we in the army?"
Goku said "I see there are no questions. File into three lines of six to begin your stretches." He led them in the stretches. He saw them panting. He had thrown a hundred pushups and sit-ups in there as well.
He said "Any complaining results in another lap around the school, and I expect you to keep up." He started them off running. A few went by him, but they soon dropped back, winded. He noticed his son struggling to keep the slow pace and smiled. He yelled "Pace yourselves. You won't last if you don't."
He fell back with the slackers. There was a girl at the near back of the group. There were also two boys. He said "Don't forget to breathe."
The girl panted "I'm…not…good…at this."
Goku thought of what would be the best strategy to use with her and said "I should have expected as much out of a girl."
She looked at him shocked. He said "You're weak."
She got mad just like he had expected. "I am not weak!"
"Prove it." She took off. Her anger had given her that extra motivation that she needed to boost her self confidence. He smiled, then hid it and ran with her for a bit. She really picked up pace. He dropped back again. He said "I don't hear any complaining, do I?"
"No, sir."
"Then why aren't we running?"
"I'm out of shape, sir." He looked embarrassed. "That's why they signed my up for this class."
Goku asked "Same for you?" of the other boy. He nodded. Goku said "Then I'll see you two at seven on Mondays and Wednesdays for extra training to get you caught up." He ran back toward the head of the group and they made it back to the gym. Goku passed by the girl. He said "Good Job, miss Daniels. I see you're not weak after all." He heard a lot of panting from his students. He said "Go get some water."
All but his Son and another boy went off to the bathrooms. Goku said "You too. Get some water."
The other boy said "You're not getting any water."
Goku said "The coach drinks last."
"Since when?"
"Since me." They followed him into the restroom and they drank then he did.
When everyone was out, Goku said "Now, I want to see how skilled you are. Each of you will give me a two minute demonstration of any martial arts you know. Beginning with Mr. Adamson and down the list to…Mr. Zaigon." The last was one of his problem students. He watched them and let them know when their two minutes was up. The Zaigon boy may have a problem with authority, but he had some good qualities.
Goku said "You will be split into two groups not dependent upon your level of previous training. The leader of the first group will be Jessica Daniels and the leader of the second group will be…Seth Zaigon."
Did I promise that Gohan would find out in this chapter? If I did, oops! Gomen, this chapter would be too long, if I did that. I think I'll leave you guys hangin' like I usually do. :P
