Thirty Days of Classes, part 13 (before battle)
T.K.T.D.W.K. Heh.
"Teaching kids to deal with kids... heh." she says.
... Looks like your manager's not the only one who needs a translator.
I would've liked to teach a particularly bloody art class, but... tsk. That A.L black hare discarded my lesson plan.
<Yeah, no. I don't think your lesson plan would've flown even if Zilu wasn't there... artless or otherwise.>
In today's class...
I'll S.Y.N.C if you're a U.A.
... What?
But I'll S.C.A.N if you're a U.C.
…????
I'll snap your neck completely if you're an unruly adult...
... but I'll soothe, coax, and nurture if you're an unruly child.
... Did you guys rehearse this or something? Am I getting pranked right now?
N-no, not at all. Just listen carefully, evaluate the context, and there you have it.
What context? What context was I supposed to evaluate?!
Let the art do the talking.
M.T.L, kids.
Ah, yeah... there's much to learn. Class is about to begin.
Bring the class material, attendant.
... Yes.
Upon the venerable Family Hierarch's orders, I have brought a child from the Wang family.
Why's Xiren - no, wait. What? You brought a who from a what family upon who's orders?!
Puff... too many travel restrictions here. So I borrowed the rich kid's attendant.
You've been bringing her along to get you to places, huh...
No, I mean just what do you mean you brought that kid on my orders?!
Ryōshū snuffed out her cigarette, opened the window to clear out the smoke, dusted off her clothing a few times, and only then brought the child to the elevated platform in front of the class.
The kid's kinda... trembling and anxious-looking... Hmm...
I... I extend my greetings to the... the venerable Hierarch...
<That kid's scared out of his mind.>
Memories of childhood are... important. They're the experiences that shape your future.
... Observe and learn.
... What's up with you acting serious all of a sudden...? Though I do agree that childhood memories are important.
My memories with big brother Baoyu are what - ahem. Anyways, moving on. You heard nothing.
The point is, I think becoming approachable to kids here might help prevent a lot of potential future conflicts.
But you've got your work cut out for you. Children of Daguanyuan are extremely wary of anyone who's not their immediate family.
Even worse, you pretty much tricked that kid here using my name... he must be terrified. And I imagine his parents must've given him a whole lot of warnings, too.
Heh. I'll give you a demonstration. Behold.
