11. aimless as ever

[sword_boy]

I think I may have spent a little too much time in the Underground.

It's incredibly quiet down there. Apparently everything down there is still scared of me.On an interesting note, I have a ton of papers from some Ohtori Academy from a previous curse... Everyone apparently has good grades... but the discussion of history is incredibly interesting

Comments

[moresake]

I'd appreciate it if you didn't grade mine.

[sword_boy]

All were graded. I don't remember what your paper was on or its grade, but all the papers were B and above... except for one, who has apparently has already left the city. My notes suggest that he was cheating and trying to buy me off... I apparently sent a notice to the Deity School Board for his expulsion.

[moresake]

Well, I'm pretty sure I made all of it up, so you must be a lax grader. I never want to go back to high school again.

Ah, yes, I remember that... It was amusing.

[sword_boy]

The questions were dealing with multi-dimensional... and worlds history. The third question was easily suited for everyone... I think.

Still. I'm getting a lot of new information to look through and read. I just wonder if I can use it against the Worms when I return home

[notflynn]

What's in the Underground?

[sword_boy]

Apparently there were some monsters... beasts... whatever they were... down there. I went on a training trip down there to keep in shape, because I heard from the guide that the Underground wasn't a place that regular people should ever tread.

Since that trip's training, every time I venture into the Underground, I have never ran into anything. It's like I scared them or something.

It's not like I'm scary or anything.

...maybe I offended them? Jiiya wouldn't be happy with me if I had offended the Underground's version of royality. Shimata!

[notflynn]

Training, huh? Maybe you're just that intimidating.

[sword_boy]

Intimidating? Hmm. Maybe that is it... although even if I wanting to see myself as intimidating, I don't really fit the standard of intimidating.

[itachi_kunoichi]

Quiet?

[sword_boy]

Quiet as in, there's nothing there.

It's like a Death came through and touched everyone there. Wait, not the right simile. It's like everyone up and left because of vacation... or Gojira came scared everyone off...

I don't know why...

[itachi_kunoichi]

That's weird, 'cause the Underground's usually full of stuff.

[sword_boy]

My thoughts exactly!

My first visit to the Underground was loud, and vibrant. Now, it's like the entire Underground is dead.

[to_turn_away]

Is that so?

[sword_boy]

That is so.

What are you exactly talking about anyway?

[to_turn_away]

The Underground as sparsely populated.

[sword_boy]

Sparse is a loose term. Even a few of the Worm can cause massive damage. An actual number would be better.

I don't know really. It just seems much more that way since I've been down there lately.

[revengeisalie]

Sounds like you had a pretty interesting time during that curse. You were a teacher?

[sword_boy]

Yes. I was a teacher! From what I can guess, I shouldn't have been teaching at a high school but rather at a university based upon my syllabus.

...but then again, that was a private school and I am Japanese. Our standards are incredibly crazy when it comes to education.

Maybe I should have come up with more obscure questions...

[revengeisalie]

Really? I learned how to read and write, a little calculating with the abacus, and stuff like ikebana and tea ceremony. I didn't think it was too challenging.

I don't think your students would have appreciated that.

[sword_boy]

I honestly don't care. From what I can tell, I was having huge amounts of fun with being an teacher. I got quite a few people to discuss the importance of a meteor that fell in my world, and brought the Worm with them.

...also there is quite a few comments going "WTF" about the meteor. I'm not quite sure what "WTF" means, so I am going to assume it is a message of JOY!

You got off fairly easy. It almost sounds like geisha training.
