Broken Sword's
Ch. 24: Go to School

Fang's proposal to attend school in the county town was decided. Waking up before the chicken woke up, Fang was dragged from a deep sleep and doused in cold water. Gana who bathed her son held Fang so as not to run away.

"I don't want to go. Dad, I'm still sleepy."

Gana did not comment on Fang's refusal. "If you refuse in such a way, you still have to go. Studying hard!"

(⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

Fang crouched down to Gana. Gave ass for protest marks. The more he grew up the crueler his parents were! Where did the old man who always spoiled her go?!

Shivering in a towel. Fang was wearing school clothes. Wait for. Where did he see a similar uniform? Oh!!

The feeling of being wronged is gone. Fang stroking soft uniform material.

"Not sulking anymore?" Gana saw Fang's change of emotions. Draping the belt, Gana gave an example of how to remove and install it when Fang needs to go to the toilet.

"If it is turned from the opposite direction, your pants may fall while walking. Watch not to be wrong."

Fang who was overwhelmed, "if you give me an example don't hurry. Dad I don't remember."

Aira, who had finished cooking, brought a lunchbox for Fang to bring along. Combing Fang's hair that began to be long, Aira braided the front and then pulled back. There were newly purchased wooden hairpins along with the uniform. Fang looks handsome.

Pacing back and forth looking at the reflection in the mirror, Fang admitted that the portion of his face took all the advantages of Aira and Gana.

Having breakfast together, Gana starts to worry. "The uniform doesn't feel too small, does it?"

"No. Feels right."

"After a new meal you say. I'm afraid your clothes are torn."

Again and again. His weight problems became a reason for Gana or Aira to worry. "Robek is ripped. I'm good at sewing, living in sewing again."

Swallowing all the rice, Fang kissed Aira's cheek. "Mom, I'm going first"

Gana pulled out the cow cart. Lifting Fang to sit in the back and telling him to hold on tight. "Don't let go or fall off."

The cow carts are slow. Passing through Baramun's house, the demon peeked out from inside the house. "Where are you going?"

Gana pulls the rope so that the cow runs slower. "Baramun's Morning. I'll take Fang to school. Excuse me" Afraid of being late for the first day of school, Gana doesn't linger and chases time.

The occasional cart shake caused Fang's head to bump. "Dad, I became a fool because of you!"

***

School is so scary.

Fang glanced at all the crying little sprouts not wanting to be left in front of the school gate. Gana is also sweating coldly. Looking at his son, hoping that Fang did not sulk like the others.

"Dad wants me to cry and roll on the ground like them?" Fang said, revealing Gana's head.

"The wisest son of my father here. You come in and greet the teacher, I'll pick you up later."

Hid.

Fang moved his lips, walking like an arrogant child. Upset at the pig-like sound of crying, Fang deliberately stepped on the hand of the boy who rolled blocking the way.

"Aw, aw, aw. My hands are flat!!! Ibuuu, I don't want to go to school. School's creepy."

The two teachers who received the new disciples stood up like sturdy pagodas. Watching the commotion was like seeing an acrobat show. Fang coughed, "teacher, I'm here."

The other teacher who was standing guard with Lea was also distracted. Similar to years ago, new students will tantrum not want to enter school. Fang's middle appearance and her neat uniform were striking. Adding the affection points of two teachers to her.

"I'm Fang! Teacher, where's my class? Dad said I had to study hard to be a smart kid"

Fang's voice was heard by the other disciple's guardian. Comparing with their crying and unreasonable children, Fang's figure was quite unsightly.

"still crying? Dare to cry huh!" An impatient father bullies his son out of annoyance.

The crying episode ends when the parents firmly go home ignoring their son/daughter. Fang who came early to the class chose a chair by the window. The guardian of his class was not the two teachers who welcomed at the gate. A soft-faced old woman greeted the little disciples.

Fang was sleepy because his voice was too soft. Vaporizing and closing his eyes for a moment, it seemed that Fang's first day of school had not listened to anything from the teacher's teachings.

Eleven o'clock is time for rest. Fang stayed in class and opened his food.

"Look, he's carrying meat."

The skinny child sitting not far from Fang's table sniffed the scent of food and glanced at the contents of Fang's lunchbox. There was a strange liquid that was occasionally held from his mouth. Fang who was protective of the food somehow felt sorry for the skinny child.

"Want to?"

Juan did not expect Fang to offer him his food. Salivating, Juan timidly took the smallest piece of meat with his chopsticks.

"Thank you."

From the dull color of the uniform, perhaps this child was born to a poor family that had no land to manage and relied on odd jobs to survive.

"You who? I'm Fang from Noik village"

Juan was envious when he heard the name of Fang village. Noik Village is one of the villages whose citizens live well. Hiding a patch on the corner of his arm, Juan who was inferior hesitantly told the name and origin of his village.

"Ugh, what's this smell? I smell fishy, who smells bad huh?"

Fang lifted his lunchbox that was about to fall. The boy who was no less fat than Fang was now standing in front of Juan's desk, pushing around the table so he could pass.

Juan's scared.

"You're from Tui village right? Hahahaha it's worth your body smell like a rotten fish."

"And enough is enough! The teacher will know and you will be in trouble."

The fat boy who acted pretentiously glared at his cousin. "You're silent. I just want to keep the class fragrance from smelling fishy!"

At first Fang was too lazy to interfere in the childish fight. But the more here, the more inappropriate speech of a boy named Dadan. Breathe in, exhale. Fang's emotions get further out of control when the fat boy insults Juan's parents.

Saving chopsticks and spoons, securing the lunchbox, Fang kicked Dadan's body. "That's right!" Bump Fang emotion.

The energy to hit is also not measured. Dadan's face is swollen. There is a blue lump on the temple and Dadan who is not good at returning even crying for help.

"May help me! huaaaa, Maya!!"

Her cousin is hit, Maya who is afraid of getting hit if she breaks up runs to find a teacher.

Juan was a little stunned. This is the first time anyone has defended him. "Fang stopped hitting. Teacher will.."

"God!! Hey son" The male teacher called Maya arrives. Pulling Fang away from the bruised Dadang.
