"I'm going to be honest with you, Mrs. Fuji. We don't know how permanent it is, but we're doing all we can. The surgery we performed yesterday should alleviate the pressure on his brain. This worst that could happen is that there is no change. The best would be a full restore of his eyesight," the doctor patted Fuji's mother's shoulder as he left.
It was the 2 days after the tournament. Fuji was sleeping in his room, while Mrs. Fuji talked with Yuuta and Saeki, waiting for him to wake up. The Seigaku regulars were all hanging around, waiting for Tezuka to come.
It was boring, sitting around, and not having anything to do.
Momo couldn't stand it anymore. "P-E-Z-O-L-C-F-T-D"
"What's that, Momo?" Ooishi turned around, "Oh, the eye chart? Wow, we're even more than 20 feet and you can see that?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Momo said.
Ooishi walked up to the chart and started counting. "Are you joking Momo? That's 20/10!"
"Is that good?" Momo asked.
"That's nothing guys," said Saeki, standing by himself at the window. "I can see the P-E-Z-O-L-C-F-T-D line from over here"
"Are you really human? Well, if I go 4 steps closer, to the line, I can see the D-E-F-P-O-T-E-C line"
"Ooishi must need glasses, he can't see anything!" Eiji joked.
"Eiji, that's mean! I can see 20/20," Ooishi replied.
"Ooishi-fukubuchou, you must, I can see down farter than that," Echizen said as he walked up behind the Golden Pair, with the rest of the team.
"Ii data," Inui said.
Inui had them all line up so he could collect data.
"Fuji!"
"Hey, why are you testing me?"
"Data."
"What? Oh, okay. L-E-F-O-D-P-C-T"
"Great, that's 20/12.5"
"Ooishi!"
"D-E-F-P-O-T-E-C"
"Maybe you should get your eyes checked, that's 20/20," was the data master's diagnosis.
"Hey!"
"Taka-san"
"L-E-F-O-D-P-C-T"
"Ah, 20/15, good"
"Eiji!"
"F-E-L-O-P-Z-D"
"Is that all?"
"What do you mean?"
"You have the worst eyesight on the team, Eiji"
"That can't be! I have good eyesight!"
"Eiji, 20/25 isn't 'good', it's actually not so good."
"Ooishi, I don't want glasses, nya…"
"Kaidoh!"
"L-E-F-O-D-P-C-T"
"Well…" Inui started.
"AH! I'M BETTER THAN THE MAMUSHI!" Momo exclaimed.
"Shut up guys, I want to see what Inui gets," Eiji said.
"Of course I can see L-E-F-O-D-P-C-T," Inui replied.
"No, wait, gimme your glasses!" Eiji joked as he bounced around and took Inui's glasses.
"Alright Inui, what can you see?" Ooishi asked.
"What's that?"
"I can't."
"Go 10 feet closer"
"E."
"WHA-A-AT?" the team yelled, falling down, laughing.
The team was laughing so hard that they didn't hear someone coming down the hallway.
"10 LAPS AROUND THE HOSPITAL, NOW!"
"Tezuka-san?"
"Tezuka-kun?"
"Buchou?"
"Tezuka?"
"Now! Except Ooishi. GO!" the captain yelled.
"H-h-hai!"
"How is he?"
"Well, we don't know yet. Everyone has been pretty restless, because Fuji-kun is still sleeping…"
"Aa."
The captain and vice captain sat down on the couch in the hallway lounge, talking about things, nothing important, nothing friendly, just obligatory things to pass the time.
The team came back from their running.
Inui spoke first. "It appears Fuji is still asleep. Tezuka, to continue my data can I test your eyes?"
"If you must…"
Tezuka walked up to the line, and slipped off his glasses. "I can read the big E."
"Hm. Better than I thought, 20/200"
"Hey!" Tezuka exclaimed as Eiji stole his glasses.
He put them on and stood at the 20-foot line. "Kikumaru, give me my glasses back!"
"OH-GOD-HOW-CAN-YOU-S-" and Eiji fell over.
"Eiji, Eiji, are you alright?" Ooishi knelt next to his partner.
"Yeah, I guess. Here Tezuka, you can have them back," Eiji said sheepishly.
"Don't take them again!"
"Tezuka?" Fuji's voice drifted out into the hallway.
Some humor before the actual story. I got the idea from the databook 40.5. On their data sheets for some reason it has their eye-sight decimal...in case you were wondering, here's what everyone's was:
Echizen-1.5
Tezuka (with glasses)-1.5
Ooishi- 0.9, 1.0 (LR)
Fuji S.- 1.2, 1.0 (LR)
Kikumaru-1.0, 0.8 (LR)
Inui (with glasses)- 1.5
Kawamura-1.5, 1.2 (LR)
Momoshiro-2.0
Kaidoh- 1.5
Fuji Y.-1.2
Saeki-2.5
1.0 is equal to 20/20 "normal" vision, however, most people with healthy vision are are about 20/16 to 20/12 or 1.2 to 1.5.
Saeki's 2.5 vision is abnormally good. I don't know if it's humanly possible!
