[Accidental Video Post]
Clean up is the job of first years and you seemed free. I'm sorry but could you do it?
I understand. [Akira begins cleaning up what is nothing less than a massive mess of old books and dusty storage items, alone.]
And will you play a game with me? Just do as you're told, don't come over and look at the board.
Are you telling me to play blind Go?
No no. It's just you have your cleaning duties, and you have to listen to your sempai. [The boy's smirk is devious. He's intending on embarrassing Akira.] I'm sure you can do it, you are the future Meijin after all. A guy like you shouldn't have joined our Go club.
[Akira sighs and begins the game, it is a fairly easy win, all things considered and the boy drags in two others.]
Play against us or leave the Go club. Nobody wants you!
[He agrees because he wants to play Hikaru. Akira begins to struggle because one player is fairly weak and he can't make sense of the moves. The boys are really pleased with his struggle, every time he wants to think about it, the leader is insisting he make his move already. The door opens and they are interrupted by a young woman.]
What are you doing?
Oh, Sensei asked us to clean this room and Touya is a first year and...and we wanted to play him so...and he was busy...
Idiots! Then you should help him. Touya, I will clean this up. Hurry up and beat them.
[Akira's pride can't let him fail this challenge.] I will continue like this.
Now that I know about this bullying, I can't allow it to continue. If only you weren't here they wouldn't have done this! You encouraged this. If only you weren't here!
[Akira looks alarmed and speechless for a moment.]
But...you're a Kaio student so be part of our club with pride. Don't accept matches like this. [She touches his shoulder.]
[Akira's quite a moment.] Thank you sempai. [He turns to the boys.] It won't take more then five minutes if you would like a lesson. Here I go. [He puts a stone down with a resounding pa-chi.]
