Chapter 20 - Focus!

*RATATATATATATATATA-!!!!*

"COMMANDER KIRU-KIRU!!! A HOARD OF JAPANESE WORDS ARE INVADING FROM THE FRONT LINES!!! THEIR MERCH IS UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!! WHAT SHOULD WE DO!?!?!?!?!"

A soldier Kiruyin said in panic to the Kiruyin standing on stop of a wooden platform. Gun fires rising from all directions. His expression tense.

"Who is the commander?"

He asked solemnly. The soldier Kiruyin's lips trembled in fear and awe. He looked at the horizon and uttered in utter dread.

"... It's the blaton commander of "Ichinose's Learn Japanese In 5 Minutes"! Commander Honami Ichinose!"

Barely had the words left the words left the soldier Kiruyin's mouth, Commander Kiru-Kiru's bravado crumble and urgency filled his heart.

"RETREAT!!! RETREAT!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! RUN RUN!!!!"

He said as he started to run, soldier Kiruyin followed behind as well but was shot down an Evil Japanese Word laughing them. Commander Kiru-Kiru had tears in his eyes, he took a deep breath, steeled his nerves and itches the soldier into his memories as he ran while tears streamed down his face.

'The world shall remember your sacri-'

"SAKIHO-KUN!!!! FOCUS!!!(said in English, Japanese accent)

"Huh?"

'Fuck us?(Focus in Japanese accent sounds like fuck us)'

Kiruyin turned to look at the fuming Ichinose who had to bring his focus back for the 5 time with a span of half an hour.

"Etto~. Ichinose-san... I don't mind the gir-"

"FOCUS!"

"Okay! Okay. Why you mad? I was just asking..."

Kiruyin reluctantly focused on his task given by Ichinose. Murmuring stuff that she couldn't hear. She snorted, genuinely annoyed. She realised that she couldn't use soft methods to gather Kiruyin's gold fish like attention when it came to Japanese.

She couldn't understand how the stop student of their Grade in science and math is so mad at memorising.

If she took her attention away from him for one second, his brain will fly of to who knows where.

Today was a study session with few weak students in Ichinose's room. There were 4 girls and 3 boys in the group. Including him and Ichinose. Ichinose is doing the teaching on the most part.

Everyone has there own weak subjects like his Japanese.

Today was the Saturday morning of 18th April. A peaceful but close morning. There weren't much heat outside. So Kiruyin's mood was great. There was no wind blowing but just the fact that the sun wasn't spreading its solar radiation in the morning was enough to brighten his mood.

He came in like the most diligent student in the world before he went to fight wars with evil Japanese words lead by blaton commander, Honami Ichinose 4 times in a span of half a hour.

"Sigh~."

He sighed quietly. He he felt headach building and his mood gradually cracking like cheap glass. Diligence have left the chat and patience was on life support. Very thin line away from flipping the table and declaring war on Japanese words in real life.

(A/N: Kiruyin right now: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ )

But every time that thought emerged, the commanding presence of the Boss Lady sitting beside him and explaining things with a kind smile to another, student crushed his resolves.

"Sigh~."

He sighed again. He ran his hand through his hair and pulled on them. To ease the tension in his head.

"Hey Sakiho. Do can you solve this for me?"

Suddenly, the fake among the Ichinose group spoke.

'Was her surname Honami?'

He remembered that her first name was Yuki, and surname was very similar to Ichinose's given name, but he forgot the distinction. So he does not dare to carelessly speak up when Ichinose is around. He doesn't want to create an awkward situation that could ruin his reputation further.

"... the answer is 12."

Kiruyin said and then went back to his task. The threat of home work was looming over his head. He didn't want extra Japanese home work on top of the ones school has given.

"...How are you so sure when you just read the question? I've been trying to slave slave for 20 minutes you know?

Yuki said absent mindedly. She looked at the question again.

***

Question: Let P(x) be a cubic polynomial with a leading coefficient of 1. It is given that:

P(1)=2

P(2)=4

P(3)=5

Find the exact value of P(4).

***

Then back at her long lines of equitations that keeps looping back with out any conclusion.

She looked at Kiruyin again and realised why he never got less than 100 in science and math.

"Hey Sakiho since you solved with without any calculator, there must be some trick right?"

She asked again. Others also looked at the problem and also realised how difficult it was. They all turned to looked at Kiruyin, even Ichinose stopped for a moment.

Feeling everyone's gaze, he just took the note, scanned it then gave it back to Yuki.

"Your going on long way. Just notice the pattern. (x+2). And apply this instead of what you're doing, P(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3) + x + 2."

"...That... sounds deceptively easy."

"Math IS easy. You just need to think a bit and know what you're doing. Once you get that, it isn't that hard."

Everyone felt a bit bitterness in their heart and wanted to argue that noway in hell was math easy but the guy talking was top of thei grade. So they just gave up.

Yuki applied the trick Kiruyin just told and the answer came out 12, just like he had said. And she didn't even need a calculator.

'...Maybe math really is easy. It's just me who is dumb...'

She thought in reapproach. For the rest of the study session, Kiruyin fought tooth and nails with his inner demons from distracting him but he sometimes got too immersed in the fights and got scolded by Ichinose.

After the study session was over and no home work was given, Kiruyin left with a smile that said he had conquered the world. Making Ichinose shake her head with a smile.

She nad her friends had plans so they went to their respective rooms to get ready. Kiruyin went to his own room while thinking about what to do when he remembered that his daily dose of logic quota haven't been filled yet.

Eell, not daily, more like weekly since he only visits the library once a week. But he is urged to visit the library by his reading buddy more. But he forgets about it with all the heavy works he does(mostly sleep). His schedule is packed(he has nothing to do)!

So, after eating something light, he took something as an apology for his library buddy as well.

"I must be a Saint, descended from the heavens."

He murmured to himself while walking towards the library. The more he thought about the kind deed he was about to do. He couldn't help but nod involuntarily.
