Do you know, something called oxygen? Oxygen is a substance that cannot be seen but can be felt. Even though oxygen is invisible, it gives us life.
Without oxygen, we cannot live. Without oxygen, we can't play games for very long. Without oxygen, we can't get married. Put aside marriage, we even can't meet our lover without oxygen. So, we have to thank oxygen.
Have you ever imagined life without oxygen? I never imagined it myself. I began to feel how important oxygen is when I met one of the students in my class named Ota. He has a weird power.
Ota's weird power are: When he sleeping, the oxygen in the room will disappear.
Yeah, completely disappear. When Ota sleeping, there will be no oxygen at all in the room. Everyone in the room will not be able to breathe. Except for Ota himself.
His weird power was ever active one day while I was teaching. It was the last hour. I'm writing math formulas on the whiteboard.
"Now, for logarithms of this type, we can use the formula—" I stopped explaining. My chest feels hurt, I can't breathe. When I looked back, the students were suffering from pain.
"The oxygen is gone!!!" Gen shouted.
"Hurry! Wake him up, I can't breathe!" Shuu touched his chest.
All of the students quickly take turns to slap Ota's face, but he still can't wake up.
They try another way. They tickled Ota, pinched his cheeks, turned on the speaker beside his ear, and for the worst, one of them pouring hot water into his hand.
Ota has been asleep for a minute. The students who were starting to run out of breath get out of the class. Some of the tough kids are still in the class. They were getting emotional.
"Damn, wake up! It's night already!" Hoshi shouted. His head was shining.
"Let's punch his face again! He'll wake up this time," suggested Gen.
"Take off his pants too," said Shuu.
Before they started their cruel action, Nana suddenly came from the door. She ran with a bucket full of water, then poured it on Ota's head.
"Watch out!!!..."
*Wurrrr!!!
Now Ota is soaking. His whole body was wet as someone who had just drowned in a lake. However, he still didn't wake up. All the students gave up.
Ota Win.
Among the students who were getting tired, Akemi came — alone — from the doorway leading to Ota's seat. She whispered something in Ota's left ear. Then Ota woke up.
"Everything is safe. Oxygen is back again," reported Akemi. She managed to make Ota wake up. Oxygen has appeared again. All of the students cheered happily. Akemi is like a goddess who falls from the sky.
Ota, who was awake immediately apologized to all of his friends.
Then he went to the bathroom — took a towel and change his uniform. Ota had predicted this would happen.
After changing clothes, he came to the front of the class and asked something with an angry expression. "Who poured hot water to my hand?"
"Not me," said Hoshi, his head shining.
Ota glared at him.
It didn't happen just once. One day Ota fell asleep again in class. Lullin and Nana tried to whisper something in Ota's ear, but he didn't wake up. Meanwhile, when Akemi whispered, Ota always woke up immediately.
Since then, I asked Akemi to share a seat with Ota, so that Akemi could easily wake him up.
Since sitting on the same seat with Akemi, Ota looks more cheerful and happy. During class, he often smiles.
A week before the midterm test, Ota always stays up late to study. The frequency of fall asleep in the class became more frequent for him. Luckily there was Akemi, she always managed to wake him up. All students can breathe freely.
One day Akemi did not attend school. Ota sat alone. My students began to worry, afraid that Ota would fall asleep again.
That's come true. In the last hour, Ota falls asleep again. But, the students didn't panic. They already have a plan.
"It's useless to wake him. He will never wake up. Come on, do our plan!" Hoshi gave the command.
Hoshi, Shuu, and Gen together carried Ota out of the room. The three of them carried Ota to the field and put him there. They then returned to the class.
"Well, now the problem is solved," said Hoshi as he clapped his hands.
