I can't believe this! Not only do I still gotta go to school, but I've gotta learn more math! Can't I just go without learnin' this stuff for one year? I'm too busy with stuff after school to pay attention to this!

[With a grumble, he picks up a piece of paper.]Besides, they keep throwing in trick questions! If there's a better way to spell "

You can't spell garden.

How old are you?

[toughestknd]

Ten. And it's not that I can't spell it, it's that they don't think I can!

[memoryofmyself]

Then you're old enough to know it doesn't have a 'q'.

It's G-A-R-D-E-N.

[toughestknd]

That doesn't even sound right!

[memoryofmyself]

Yes it does! Are you stupid or something?

[toughestknd]

I know you are, but what am I?

[memoryofmyself]

Stupid, apparently.

[ But Ritsuka can be helpful. ]

School's easier if you just treat it one class at a time. And if you're not sure how a word is spelled, sound it out. I'll even help you study. [ Because stupid people are annoying, and the only way to make people not be stupid is to help them, so. ]

[toughestknd]

Nuh-uh! I know you are, but what am I?

...eh, I thought it was weird that I was bein' told to spell something during math anyway. And no thanks, I've got it under control.

[ He...is just going to ignore that. ]

If you want to learn math properly, you need to know the terms.

If you're ten, you're in fourth grade, right? What's your name?
