Saiyuki in School
Chapter 3 – Speeches of Different Kinds
,,--**--,,…,,--**--,,…,,--**--,,…,,--**--,,
"Hi Hakkai, do we have an assignment?" Kougaiji asked as he went near Hakkai. (Our Kougaiji is seated far from me… ^^')
"Uh, no… there's none --- except for one subject, all we need to do is to prepare for our speech in Filipino…" Hakkai replied. "In short, our assignment is in Filipino."
"Oh my gosh! Aah~ I don't wanna be called!! I don't want to speak in front!" Kougaiji exclaimed. ('Oh my gosh' is the common statement of our Kougaiji. ^^;;)
"We don't have a choice… I think we'll all be called today…" Hakkai slightly smiled. "But good luck anyway… but… I also don't want to speak in front… but I must, we all must!" he sighed. "Yare yare…"
"Classmates Mrs. Kaodei is here!!!" Dr. Nii, the usual 'look-out' of the room, exclaimed.
Everyone ran back to their seats and sat down, then they sighed. Right after that the door opened.
"Good morning class." Mrs. Kaodei said.
"Good morning Mrs. Kaodei~" the class greeted.
"Shall we start the class with a prayer?" Mrs. Kaodei suggested. A student came forward, it was Miyuko.
"A spontaneous prayer, ok?" Mrs. Kaodei cut in. Miyuko sweatdropped.
"*sign of the Cross* Lord Jesus, please guide us… as we study our lecture… please enlighten us… uh… Amen… *sign of the Cross*".
She went back to her chair, [slightly] smiling sheepishly.
"Once again, good morning class."
"Good morning Mrs. Kaodei~
"You may take your seats."
"Thank you Mrs. Kaodei~"
"We're going to finish the speeches today… now let me call… class number……"
The students were all silent. They were [kind of] trembling/shaking in their seats…
"Number 32, Kanzeon Bosatsu."
Kanzeon went forward shakily and she delivered her speech. Her speech was meaningful, though there are some parts when the students giggled.
"Can't you see me?" Kanzeon said a line from her speech. Some students giggled.
"Yeah yeah we see you… you're in front of us…!" Lanfa said.
"Can't you hear me?" Kanzeon said another line from her speech. The students all giggled.
"Yeah –– your voice is loud…" Zenon said.
Then after Kanzeon, the teacher opened her class record and checked Kanzeon's speech on the paper. In that speech activity you may bring your speech paper in front – no memorizing needed. Kanzeon got 87%. The students cheered.
"Ok then… the next one will be… number 40, Genjo Sanzo." Mrs. Kaodei announced.
"Go!!! Go Sanzo!" Kanzeon squealed.
"Gambatte!!!" Hakkai said.
"Yeess!" Dita cheered.
Then Sanzo delivered his speech. He didn't say the lines with feelings, for he was hurrying up because he doesn't want to speak in front. But at least he got a good grade. (82+… I forgot… -_-;;)
Many were called after that, then…
"Ok, we're almost out of time… the second to the last for today… we'll continue this tomorrow." Mrs. Kaodei looked at her class record. "Class number… 16, Cho Hakkai."
Hakkai went in front, holding his speech paper. He breathed deeply and he delivered his speech. He was also hurrying up, because he also didn't want to speak in front.
A while after, Hakkai finished his speck, and he was given a grade of 84+ (I forgot my own grade… -_-;;)
"Ok, the last… any volunteer?" Mrs. Kaodei said.
"Goku! Goku! Goku! Goku!" the students cheered.
"Ok, Goku." Mrs. Kaodei said.
"Yeeesss – go Goku!!!" Dita cheered.
"Goku!! Goku!!" the class cheered again.
"Class…" Mrs. Kaodei said, then the class became silent.
Goku delivered his speech, and he said the lines with feelings, though his speech was short.
When Goku said the last line, he bowed and he gave his paper to the teacher.
"Eh? That's it?" Dr. Nii said.
Goku smiled sheepishly. "I don't have an idea how I can make it longer, so I came up short."
Suddenly, the bell/chime rang three times.
"Ok class goodbye – we'll continue this tomorrow." Mrs. Kaodei said as she approached the door.
"Goodbye and thank you Mrs. Kaodei~"
"Yeesss I wasn't called!!" Kougaiji said as he approached Hakkai, who smiled.
"Anou, Doku, you weren't called also, right?" Hakkai turned to his seatmate. Ms. Tiara is the one who arranged their seating arrangement, so the students don't have a choice but to cope with the consequence, whoever is your seatmate……
"Yup." He replied.
"At least I don't have to worry about the speech anymore…" Hakkai said.
"Hey it's recess time!!" Sanzo said as he brought out a pack of Chips Ahoy.
"Hai hai." Hakkai replied.
