the next morning, Masahiro cycled his way to school with no frills and buzzkills, he saw a group of former hate groups such as Neo-Nazis, KKK, New Black Panthers, Westboro Baptist Church, and a few others that are merged as a movement to teach the younger generation to avoid being like them when they are younger and naive, especially for those who wanted to fit in.
the white man in his early fifties (a former KKK member) handed out a flyer and a badge saying: "I'm done with Racism" to Masahiro, he take it and venture into the school, there's a keynote speech at the school auditorium, which it has the size of a Broadway Theater, the keynote took about an hour and thirty minutes due to faulty microphones, which the time for Literature was added for another ten minutes due to the long speech. he brought the Sterling Maj100 ICR guitar and the Coors Amplifier, the portmanteau of the band called The Cars and a brand of Cerveza named Coors Light, it was surrendered to the School Depository and which of his LP Junior White was also stored in there to avoid getting stolen, the passcode to his locker was changed to Biggus Dickus despite the vulgar phrase, the clerk let it slide as he saw the British Comedy Sketch.
in the campus bookstore, the Japanese brought two foreign language books (German and French) and paid for the books, then proceed to the cafeteria. it's Falafels and Chow Mein Noodles, the stir-fried noodles were so authentic that it looks like they hired a few chefs from a string of Chinese Restaurants (authentic not Chinese-American style) or Mainland China, the Falafels meanwhile, they're like cluster bombs of flavors as they were either wrapped in pita bread or a side of Tahini and in-house Chili Sauce to ante the flavor, in which everyone else came to buy another one.
as recess has been concluded, their next teacher was out today and the substitute teacher, Mrs. Alanis Stechkin, was terrible, she knew the subject that she's teaching to but she's picking on white students rather than Black, Asians, and Latino student despite raising their hands as high as the Statue of Liberty's Torch but to no avail, Mrs. Stechkin looked like Ugly Betty with an abusive personality of Mark Metcalf's act as the teacher from Twisted Sister's Music Videos.
Masahiro couldn't muster the buildup of pressure to open the floodgates of his bladder to release a wave of urine as soon as he goes to the bathroom, only if the teacher allowed him to do so, as a protest, he took out an empty bottle of Gatorade from, pulled the zipper down, and fly away while the teacher isn't looking and of course, without the sight of his classmate, especially the Quiet Kid from another row, which he already knew what's going on.
at the end of class, the Japanese thrown the bottle of urine at the trash can as the substitute didn't allow his submission to call of nature due to being Asian, the latter was Mathematics. her face didn't look too happy as he thought, must have been the racist substitute teacher, Ms. DiMartino can learn despite having a bad day but, the class clown tried to make everyone laugh especially the Latina teacher who's having a hard time, he's holding a paper ball sealed with scotch tape and it's ready to hit Ms. DiMartino into the face but Masahiro tapped his shoulder to stop the Class Clown to do so.
"I won't be supposed to do that if I were you" Masahiro whispered to the Class Clown
"what if I don't?" the Class Clown bluntly whispered to him
"she's going to beat your ass into pulp, dude. BJJ, you ring the bell?" the Quiet Kid also whispered
the words are enough to make a class clown silent as their math teacher is good at the particular Martial Art, the Class Clown was notorious for pulling insane pranks and jokes during class hours and after class, yet it was stopped as he pissed his pants due to fear of getting pounded by a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Practitioner who is their drop-dead gorgeous teacher when snapped.
Lunch Period attracts a lot of students with the smell of Grilled Salmon Steak with Quinoa and Chicken Dhansak. something doesn't add up to him as the substitute teacher was acting like she's hot shit since sliced bread, the Quiet Kid came up to him again, this time he gave the Japanese a bottle of powdered laxatives, he intended to teach the sub a lesson for not doing her job right earlier, he understood what he had in mind, he tried to tell the principal about the substitute's wrongdoings but he's not here at the time due to attending matters.
"you put Laxatives on her coffee?" he asked, "I know I hate her guts but isn't that bit of an overkill?"
"relax," the Quiet Kid hushed "I mixed the powdered laxatives, she didn't notice about it until now," he said with a Cheshire Cat Grin
"Best of luck kid, hide that shit before someone else know it" Masahiro warned the kid
"I know, I'm Chester by the way, like Chester Bennington from Linkin Park"
Mrs. Stechkin started the marathon to find the women's bathroom as the Laxatives kicked in while eating lunch, she felt drained after three tablespoons of laxatives and four trips to the bathroom. it made Chester a smile on his face, not only he got his revenge on the sub, he didn't get in trouble as the Principal already know what happened earlier and Mrs. Stechkin was fired for being a racist to the boot during Science Class.
Nobody knows who did it but Chester had a reputation for spiking laxatives on bullies and horrible substitute teachers, meanwhile, in Foreign Language, Mr. Fischer, the other hand, made a reminder to pass their assignment on next week, it's about their reason why they picked German Classes, no copy and paste, and no plagiarism, it can be written in English or German for extra points.
the German teacher seemed to be impressed with the Japanese student's fluency in German (he learned the basics from Hansel). as the class is concluded, Mr. Fischer gave him a bar of Lindt Sea Salt Chocolate while everyone isn't looking, the German had a Chocolate Addiction like everybody else, to fulfill it, he had a secret stash on his desk where a mini-fridge filled with chocolate and drinks (water and fruit juice), and a second drawer filled with snacks
He was armed with a pistol (a Gen 4 Glock 17) with an updated license and concealed carry permit, whenever something bad happened at school to home, sometimes he carried a can of Pepper Spray and a Collapsible Baton to avoid getting in trouble at work.
a long lesson on Classical Music and it's styling over the years seemed to bore a few students but some are still awake to listen to the teacher while demonstrating the examples of music like Debussy, Liszt, Mozart, Chopin, and the well-known Beethoven via the grand piano, it's the Bechstein Grand Piano, the same piano used by the greatest classical composers to singers like Elton John, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Beatles, and Queen. the piano was around during the 20th Century, there's another piano made by Steinway & Sons Model D Concert Grand Piano.
the classes ended at the exact time and they went home for the day but some remained Masahiro had a duel to answer, he picked up his guitar and amplifier for settling the score against the Popular but a dickhead in general, Jeremy showed up with a Ruby Red Fender Stratocaster and a Marshall Amplifier while Masahiro with a White Gibson Les Paul Junior and a hand-crafted Amplifier, the blonde had a Lance Sensor Blue Silver Red Pickup while the Japanese were armed with an aggressive P-90 pick-up.
everyone else got the message around the Showdown between two guitarists in one School Auditorium, Mr. Prenter asked the others not leaving any litter after a short performance, the MC stood out from the shadows, almost everyone raised their phones to record the entire performance
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. get ready for the ultimate late afternoon showdown! the MC Boomed "give it up for the school's Mr. Steal Your Girl, Last Year Prom King, Football Star, from Dearborn with love, Jeremy!"
everyone cheered on the Fender player with a raised guitar while the others booed at the dirty blonde, some of which are Keshawn, Brian, Felicia, and Chester from earlier.
"and then, our new Challenger, he's from the land of the rising sun, will he go big or go home? we can't decide, let's give it up for, Masahiro!"
small cheers and loud boos as Hiro stepped in with a Duck Walk performed by Angus Young from AC/DC, as a nod to rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry. the total bet was around $285.00, the amount was almost enough to buy a BMG Super Red Special Guitar but he had another thing in mind other than buying his dream guitar.
"anything else to say before the match?" the MC asked
"of course" Jeremy smirked "if I win, I'll torment the hell out of you for the rest of the semester
"Okay," Masahiro said "if I win, you'll quit being a pain in the ass for the rest of the semester"
"let's see what you got"
Jeremy starts with Thunderstruck solo by AC/DC which the brunet shook his head with disbelief until he shreds One by Metallica and transition to Through The Fire and Flames by Dragon Force to greatest hits from metal bands like Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax, and more, school metalheads loved it as they headbang through the riffs Masahiro made while Jeremy released a shit-eating grin with a face to the Japanese Guitarist as he switched to a Gibson Les Paul, it was the same guitar and the body paint is as similar to Masahiro's first guitar before a zealot trashed it on broad daylight, the White LP was benched while the Sterling MAJ100-ICR John Petrucci was the substitute guitar.
The Dirty Blonde's Les Paul sang Mötley Crüe while Eddie Van Halen's solo for MJ's Beat It then transitions to Eruption, along with the signature rock jump. Jeremy switched to Deep Purple's Speed King, then Masahiro opted for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and lastly, the Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes that made the Japanese the ultimate winner of the Showdown, it went viral online the other day including the Surprise Food Court Flash Mob. he took home with the money in tow while thinking about taking the part-time gig as a cashier to a gas station or a fast-food chain as he already did it last year.
later that night, Masahiro looked through his official papers and documents to use it for applying for a driving license while staying in the United States, it's all valid for application and suddenly, Robert entered the room as the Japanese didn't hear his call downstairs, they were going out for dinner at the Japanese restaurant, which Masahiro kinda missed the food that he usually eats back home while teaching Riley of how to use a pair of chopsticks, the restaurant's interior was so good, it wasn't in Detroit as soon as you went inside to see Tokyo for a few minutes.
Tatami padding, wooden floors, sliding doors, and a fountain made out of bamboo, and numerous decorations that
make it like an authentic Japanese Restaurant like the Sushi Conveyor Belt, a Japanese style Vending Machine, there's even a shop that sells Japanese food products and beauty products that are completely safe and verified by US FDA, there's even tables and chairs for those who can't sit down both Indian style and Japanese style.
after enjoying a nice meal, they were about to head home but the SUV was drenched in eggs, cast upon the Mighty Chicken God to bless their Suburban SUV with a crudely red spray paint a "Fuck You" on the left side of the door while the tires are slashed out, Riley saw the red spray paint but luckily he's not going to blurt out the cuss word due to having more brain cells than the average kid on his age.
Sheryl tried to call the Police but Masahiro knew the person who's behind all of this was Jeremy Thompson, he's still salty about the Showdown that he lost against a newcomer, however, he had something way better than pressing charges, before coming home via Uber, he dropped by at Walmart to buy one bottle of Da Bomb Hot Sauce, one Sriracha, and ingredients used in baking chocolate chip cookies, the Da Bomb was elected as a secret ingredient to bake Chocolate Chip Cookies along with spicy chocolates and he made another batch with the non-spicy variant of the delectable treat while the poor unfortunate soul had to suffer the cookies baked by Beelzebub himself in the fiery pits of hell.
Masahiro tried it out and yes, even Robert tried it out and emptied a gallon of milk to suppress the spice until the fire was put out, it was so spicy that it was enough to confess the Popular Kid about his petty crimes, he put the sweet and spicy cookies into the bag while another bag filled with regular chocolate chip cookies, as soon as the last bag was full, Hiro went to bed with a smirk on his face as he started a revenge plot for not following the agreement
