Posted: July 18
From: Li Tieguai

Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my change of name: this is Cho Hakkai.

I appear to have reappeared. Although I don't want to give undue hope to anyone who's recently lost a god or shinki, I'd like to announce that my classes will be continuing as usual.

To those who were living upstairs at the school the past few days, I expect you to help me clean up the mess. You know who you are.

[There are animal cracker crumbs everywhere.

And apart from that he's just not going to mention the events of last few days. At least he wasn't an actual child, but....]

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused it? I'm certain I felt something in the air for a few hours before it happened.

......

[Gonou why would you do this to him? Goten doesn't understand.]

...I'd rather train. I can read and stuff fine.

Indubitably! Your expertise exhibits no deficits that could require remediation by education.

[Please enjoy this sentence full of unnecessarily complicated kanji. What was that about reading fine again?]

. . . . .

[Have some audible silence as he just stares. He doesn't even know where to start with anything in that sentence. There's a reason he sticks to voice...]

Hakkai...

I'll schedule your first lesson for Wednesday.

Huh?! B-but that's not fair!

[He was so happy to see you too!]

I have training with Izumo and stuff like that.

I can schedule it with him.

[This is important! He'd feel like a delinquent teacher if he let Goten get away with remaining uneducated.]

No, that's okay! That's okay! Really! We both train a lot together and uh, I donno if I have time for school stuff like that. It's okay, Hakkai, don't worry about it. Don't you have a bunch of other people to teach stuff too?

[Please don't get Izumo or Aymeric involved in this. Darn you Gonou]

[Too late.]

Oh, I'm sure it'll be no problem! Goten, fighting isn't all you need to know how to do, you realize.

[Hakkai, why are you doing this to him? You're suppose to be his friend!]

I know but reading isn't going to help me with ayakashi or anything.

[Let him pout, he'll get over it later]

Fighting is way more fun. I don't get why you and Gonou care so much about it...

What if you wanted to read about a new spell? Or how to make plans to fight a war?

Strength isn't everything!

I've learned three spells without reading and i donno about the plans for fighting a war.... I like fighting myself not telling other people what to do...

[That makes sense right? He's starting to get the feeling he's not going to get out of this. How do you argue against Hakkai?]

Even if you're the only one fighting, being able to make plans can help you to win a battle that you couldn't win if you ran in head-on.

[Goten goes quiet for a moment, thinking]

....How would you get around someone that can make it so you can't move?

Why don't we research that together?

[And not air any possible strategies out loud on the network. There are multiple answers for this.]

[Goten forgets how public these things are. How do you even make things private?]

How do you research that?

I'll pick out a few books for Wednesday!

. . . .

[He still isn't sure about this but between Hakkai, Sharak and Izumo...maybe he could give it a try. If Hakkai can help him beat Loki and he can teach Sharak something, then it won't be so bad.]

..Okay.

[Suddenly, Mama Aditi is here, her voice soft and only slightly scolding.]

Learning new things is an important part of growing up, Goten. Reading will help you do that.

[Not what he was expecting. No Sharak, not you too! Don't team up with Hakkai on this...]

Sharak?

[FROWN]

But I learn new stuff everyday, just not from books...

Of course, and there's plenty you can't learn from books. [She's not a total nerd. Sorry, Hakkai.] But there's plenty you can learn from them.

Besides, if you learn with Hakkai, we can read together as well.

Are you going to learn at the school too, Sharak?

[He's curious about that but that second part does make him perk up a little bit]

You'll read to me and I can read to you, you mean?

[He perfers her doing the reading because surely Sharak is one of the best people to read stories but she probably has a lot of cool stories of her own]

[She has so many cool stories. So many. Let her tell you how she got these scars, Goten, off-screen and handwaved.]

If you'll read to me there, I'll go to the school. Maybe you can find something to teach me.

[Please, please, please. Let him just think Sharak is so much cooler then she already is.]

Teach you?! What? Me? I can't teach you. You know everything!

[He grins, laughing a little in amazement]

[Just keep it vague and don't make me write it out and we're good.]

Not everything, just most things. Maybe you can find something I don't know in a book with Hakkai.

[Got it. Still exciting!]

You really think so, Sharak?

[Teaching Sharak stuff? He's never even imagine that was possible!]

Okay! If I do find something, I'll let you know! I'll teach you like you've shown me stuff! Maybe the chickens would like it too!
