He has a choice to make.
He's not discussed it with his comrades, and he's not sure that they'll agree with what he wants to do. He knows that if he gets enough time to explain to them, he can make them understand why he can do this. Why he should do it. After all, they weren't planning to go after Nanahara just yet, and he's not the only one of them looking at a professional career. And all of them got better grades on their final exams than they were expecting, so he can realistically get away with it.
There's a letter on his table. The letter. The one that started this dilemma off. It's offering him something that he likes the idea of. It's a course that looks interesting, for the most part. There's even a module on modern and contemporary military history -which made him smile when he read that part of the syllabus- but there's a catch.
The catch is that this particular course is the result of a collaboration between two departments of the same university. One of them is the History department, the other -for some reason- is the Education department. And when he finishes the course, he'll be found work experience in a school. Not only that, but he'll have an official teaching qualification.
He'll be a fucking teacher.
And he's not sure that he's ready for the responsibility of a group of students. Especially if -and this was a big if, but he's always been the one to see the glass half empty- his class get put into the BR Act. Can he deal with that?
But he's interested in the course.
He reaches over to his phone, and calls up the friend that's most likely to listen to his proposal.
"Hey. Yes, it's me. I've got a problem. There's this course that I want to do, only I'm not sure how Kurosawa's going to take it. Which course is it? It's a History course. Yes, of course there's a catch. The catch is that it's also a teaching course."
There's a pause, and then the person on the other side of the call starts laughing.
"Yeah, I'm glad it amuses you. Anyway...Jo, stop laughing, I need to ask you a question. That's better. If I wanted to convince Kurosawa that it's a good idea, how would I go about it?"
He picks up a pen and starts making notes. Some of them might be really helpful. He'll phone up his other two allies first to see if they have anything to add to the list before making his next move. He knows that this might be taking it a little far, but he should always be prepared for the worst. After all, he was the one with the slight military obsession.
He's the one that's supposed to look at tactics.
