Author's Note:
Me: Okay, I just extracted every bit of humor that my class would give me.
Hikaru: Your class is unique; they have their own ways to find humor.
Me: -offended- What is that supposed to mean?
Kaoru: And I noticed that Kyouya is the center of this mini chapter.
Me: That's what I was supposed to warn the readers! –ahem- Okay, be aware that this chapter mainly focuses on Kyouya and his class!
Chapter 10.5
"Okay students, hand in your papers," the teacher instructed the 2-A class.
Kyouya adjusted his glasses as he observed Tamaki fishing for his homework from his suitcase and proceeded to get his own.
He then passed his paper to the person in the seat in front of him.
The teacher received all the papers and began discussing.
"Okay, so let's start by discussing the great Asian people. Who can name me one?"
One student bravely raised her hand and said, "Jose Rizal."
"Very good, Norifuku-san. Who can tell me some things about this Jose Rizal?"
Another student then raised his hand then stated, "He was a very cultured Tsukara-jin (Filipino). As far as the records went, he was an architect, artist, businessman, cartoonist, educator, economist, ethnologist, scientific farmer, his-"
The student stopped as Tamaki stood up and said excitedly, "Like me?" He pointed at himself.
"No, Tamaki," Kyouya said as he pulled Tamaki to sit down. "Scientific farmers aren't the ones that cultivate mushroom."
"Ahem, he was a historian, inventor, journalist, linguist, musician, mythologist, nationalist, naturalist, novelist, ophthalmic surgeon, painter, physician surgeon, poet, propagandist, psychologist, scientist, sculptor, sociologist and theologian. He's so amazing that he mastered 22 languages including Japanese…"
Kyouya was getting a little pissed now. How can that person be better than him?
Rizal was rich, smart and talented. Kyouya was, well, rich, smart and good-looking. He was tall and Rizal was short.
Even thought there were three points to three, Kyouya was utterly irritated.
He didn't even hear the student mention that Rizal was already dead.
Kyouya was too engrossed in thinking of plans on destroying that Rizal person.
"Let's have a formative quiz. Take out a 2 to the power of -2 size of paper," the teacher instructed.
(2 to the power of -2 is equal to ¼)
The quiz began and the students were being their usual noisy self.
At one point, the teacher was upset wit their demeanor that he said, "Don't dare me, class."
Then one brave soul retorted, "I dare you."
The teacher, in a fit of rage, stood up and then confiscated the student's paper. The other students were now holding in their giggles.
Then another student began kidding around by asking, "What's number three again?"
The teacher then said, "How many times to I have to answer you, Pagunawan?"
This made a few of the students in front start a conversation.
"Hey, Yuki-chama, I have a story to tell you," a student said as she called for the attention of her seatmate.
"Okay, shoot."
"There was once a man. He visited the doctor saying that his wife was deaf. The doctor then recommended this: he was to ask a question and if his wife wouldn't reply, he would walk closer until she responded. So the man did so. He stood 15 feet away from his wife who was preparing dinner and asked, 'Hun, what's for dinner?' No reply. He moved closer, still no reply. He moved closer again, still no reply. He moved closer until he was directly behind her and he asked, 'HONEY, WHAT'S FOR DINNER?" Then his wife replied, "For the fourth time, I said chicken!"
This made the two students explode in a fit of laughter.
In the midst of the noise, the teacher just sat there and listened.
He teacher ignored this and the test went on.
Next period arrived as the bell rang.
They stood up and said goodbye to the teacher and sat down again. The classroom became noisy once more.
When their next teacher entered, the class silenced. They greeted the teacher and sat down again.
"Okay class, turn your books to p. 125, please," the teacher requested as the students sat down.
Kyouya took out his book and began reading ahead silently.
"Mr. Ootori! Please read out to the class the passage about Amos. It's on page 126," the teacher said while pointing at Kyouya.
Kyouya stood up elegantly and began reading in a tone as pleasant as nails scratching on the blackboard.
"Amos: Teaching Us to Act Justly. God called Amos to be His prophet many years after the fall of Solomon's kingdom. Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa in Judah who lived many years after the fall of Solomon's kingdom, during the reign of Jeroboam II…Furthermore, most of the Israelites seemed to be more concerned with accumulating wealth…"
Kyouya gulped as he said this.
"…rather than doing what was right. This led to the rapid decay of their sense of morality and crated a growing gap between the rich and the poor."
Kyouya gulped again. Was he…guilty?
"Corruption was common in the government, in the marketplace and even I nthe temple."
Kyouya then put his book down and expected everyone to be snoring from his boring reading tone, but this is Kyouya we are talking about here, so everyone with a fear of death gave him their full attention. Heck, they were even gazing into his onyx orbs that would lead you to nothingness.
Another student was the asked to read the next paragraph.
"Amos took the Israelites' attention by pointing out the sins of their enemies but they then turned away as he began pointing out their sins…"
Kyouya was feeling like yawning while Tamaki rudely stretched and yawned as if he just woke up.
When the student finished reading, the teacher then began discussing.
"Okay, class. So Amos managed to get the attention of the Israelites but pointing out the sins committed by their enemies. So the Israelites listened to him but soon walked away when he began talking about their sins."
"But wasn't Amos a sinner as well?" a student asked.
"Everyone is a sinner but you can't actually expect Amos to face a mirror and say, 'You're a sinner. You're a sinner,'" the teacher replied.
"But there weren't any mirrors at that time!" Tamaki stated.
"Exactly my point," the teacher told him.
As the teacher was about to open his mouth, the bell rang so he briefly left the room before he became the target of their paper airplanes.
The two juniors (Japanese sophomores) headed for the Third Music Room.
The stressed Kyouya was then pulled by an energetic Ayako to do some chants.
After blasting a frame of Usa-chan and being threatened by the twins and Hunny, Kyouya tried stopping himself from decomposing.
Just then, Mai helped him do the chants as he glanced at her boss from time to time.
Most of the Host Club left already and he heard some voices, specifically a voice of an angry girl.
Kyouya approached the door and…
CLIFFIE!
