(Everyone talking)
Hayami-sensei: good morning everyone
Everyone: good morning, Sensei
Hayami-sensei: for this homeroom session I would like for you to select your class representatives , you guys can vote for whoever you deem worthy , just write their name on a piece of paper and place them in this box. After that, I will count the votes . The person with the highest votes will become the class rep and they will choose their assistant. Get started on the voting.
Hayami-sensei: okay, so now that all of you have voted I will check to see who has the most votes.
Hayami-sensei: it seems that Rie Morioka has gotten six votes which is the highest, so she will be your class representative
Rie: th…thank you everyone for voting for me
Hayami-sensei: okay Morioka, choose who you would like to assist you
Rie: um, let's see, I would like to be assisted by Katsuragi
Shino: huh! Nnnn…no why me, I can't do that type of work, speaking up for my class and making suggestions to the school board , I can't.
Hayami-sensei: I see, perfect choice Rie
Shino: but Hayami-sensei , I don't want to
Hayami-sensei: huh! What was that? Speak up I couldn't hear you
Shino: what I said was that, I'm happy to become her assistant
Hayami-sensei: that's what I thought
(Shino): she's so scary
Hayami-sensei: school is not only about getting good grades and aiming for your goals , it's also about development of character, confidence , the ability to stand up for one's self and applying the knowledge gained from experience. Being the assist to Rie will help you grow as a person in the long run so stop complaining
Shino: yes sensei
(Rie):I finally got the chance to be near to Katsuragi, I can finally thank him for what he did that day. I will now be able to be friends with him and eventually he'll notice me, wait what am I saying (blushes)
Hayami-sensei: alright so, Rie Morioka assisted by Shino Katsuragi will be your class representatives for the rest of your first year, any objections to this selection?
Everyone: no sensei
Hayami-sensei: okay goo-
Hitomi: Good afternoon, Sachiko Takahashi and Tetsuo Kawaguchi please report to the student council room, I repeat Sachiko Takahashi and Tetsuo Kawaguchi please report to the student council room
Hayami-sensei: that girl, couldn't she have waited until the school bell rings.
Hayami-sensei :You both have my permission to leave the class to go to the student council room
Sachiko: yes sensei
Hitomi: I'm glad that you came Tetsuo Kawaguchi, please both of you sit down
Tetsuo: what do you want with me?
Hitomi: straight to the point I see , well then let me enlighten you. I explained to your classmates as well as you that the former student council members have graduated
Tetsuo: I was not listening
Hitomi: huh?
Tetsuo: the information you gave had nothing to do with me so I ignored whatever you were saying
Hitomi: (clears her throat)
Hitomi: so anyway, the reason for calling you here is to ask you to join the student council as our secretary. The school will also prolong the scholarship you have received
Tetsuo: sorry, but I will not join the student council
Hitomi: I see, may I ask why
Tetsuo: firstly even though you're the student council president you're quite a conniving person and secondly, my sister gave me a calling, it would be rude of me to abandon her wishes that's all
(School bell rings)
Tetsuo: well then it's about time for me to take my leave see you
Hitomi: that boy is a strange one, but I can't say that I'm not interested in his opinions of me
Sachiko: I already told you that he was going to reject your proposal
Hitomi: that doesn't mean that I'm going to give up on recruiting him, we still have time before the council members are set in stone.
(Basketball shoes rubbing on court)
(Takahiro scores a layup)
Takahiro: you're surprisingly keeping up with us Nakajima , not bad
Yukio: and even after sustaining a severe injury
Hayato: yeah, I'm fully healed up and ready
Takahiro: oh I see , well then at least you'll survive Nanaho's harsh training regiments
Yukio: alright guys let's run that play again
Takahiro and Hayato: yes
Nanaho: that's the spirit guys keep it up
(Shino dribbling the basketball)
Shino: Fukazawa-senpai am I dribbling the ball right
Nanaho: not bad, but your form is a little crooked and slightly weird, however it will improve overtime
Shino: I see , thank you
(Noboru): dammit!! Why am I over here doing the basics, I should be over there with my seniors on the court not in a corner dribbling a damn ball.
Noboru: I can't take this anymore!!! Why should a naturally talented athlete as my self be placed in a corner doing dribbling drills with this amateur.
(Shino): amateur!!? Is he talking about me?
Nanaho: haven't we been over this yesterday, I've already explained that you need the basic fundamentals of basketball in order to become effective on the court, which you lack
Noboru: my dribbling is actually decent look
(Noboru fumbles the ball)
Nanaho: see I told you, you need the basics
(Ball rolls at Tetsuo's feet)
(Tetsuo takes up the ball)
Noboru: oh, it's Kawaguchi the main talk of class 1T , why are you here?
Shino: Kawaguchi
Nanaho: oh Kawaguchi, what brings you here?
(Tetsuo passes the ball to Noboru)
Tetsuo: I am here to join the basketball team
Yukio: oh, I see why the sudden change of heart?
Tetsuo: let's just say that I found a good reason to join and leave it at that
Yukio: okay that works for us, welcome to the team Tetsuo Kawaguchi
Tetsuo: yes
(Nanaho): the captain is trying to hide it but he's boiling with excitement (smiles), maybe this year you'll achieve your dream Yukio
(Flashback)
Yukio: so you're the first year who wanted to be our manager this season, nice to meet you, I'm Yukio Hamaguchi and you are?
Nanaho: Fukazawa Nanaho
Yukio: I see , what a nice name , it suits you
(Nanaho): no, we will definitely make it this time around
Hayato: hey Tetsuo
Tetsuo: huh?
Hayato: you and your class did well against us in the mini tournament, I look forward to playing along side you
Tetsuo: I'm sorry but who are you?
Hayato: huh! So you already forgot about me , oh well
Yukio: go ahead and get changed
(Tetsuo ties his shoe lace)
(Tetsuo): it fits perfectly, my sister sure knows a lot about shoes
Usagi: big brother, your feet are quite huge that the store owner barely has any shoes that will fit
Tetsuo: my feet aren't really that big
Usagi: well I wear size 7 and a half so compared to mine they are quite big
Tetsuo: well , I guess that's true
Usagi: wait this one looks perfect doesn't it big brother, try it on
(Tetsuo): it's perfect
Shoes store owner: that pair of shoes is quite durable and very flexible for athletes such as yourself young man, so what do you say? Will you purchase this shoe
Tetsuo: yes
(Tetsuo): I'll definitely put them to good use
Yukio: before we continue can you please show me that beautiful shot you did during gym session.
Takahiro: yes , I would like to see it as well
Tetsuo: okay
(Tetsuo shoots a three pointer)
(Swoosh)
Yukio: (whistles) no matter how many times I see it I just can't believe how perfect your form is , the sound of the basketball hitting the net just has this authentic tune to it.
Hayato: yes you're right, not even my shot makes those sounds
(Shino): Tetsuo is truly amazing, he was able to score that shot so effortlessly. I will focus and train harder so that I can be of use for this team. I will not loose to him I will be better!!
Yukio: alright everyone let's get back to training
Everyone: yeah
Noboru: my arms are getting tired , how much longer do I have to do this Fukazawa?
Nanaho: training has ended so you all can stop now
Hayato: phew , that was quite the workout
Takahiro: if you think that today was a challenge just wait for tomorrow's training
Hayato: what do you mean by that
Yukio: Nanaho might not look it but she's a great strategist and her observation skills are off the charts , today was just to test our overall skills and endurance but tomorrow is when the real training starts
Noboru: (breathes heavily ), finally it's over, I can't feel my arms
Nanaho: well that's a good sign I guess
Noboru: what's that suppose to mean, you made me dribble this basketball for the whole entire day I deserve better than this
Nanaho: (ugh), for the last time you need the basic skills to function on the basketball court
Noboru: basic skills, a pro like me doesn't needs the basics
Nanaho: I have had it with you, you better come prepared for tomorrow
Noboru: wait was that a threat? She just threaten me didn't she?
( Shino breathes heavily)
(Shino): look at him, he doesn't even look tired at all, throughout this whole training he has done nothing but surprised all of us. His shots and ability to dribble and pass are quite exceptional , he even gave the captain a hard time. will I ever be able to catch up to someone like him?
Yukio: this was quite the training session, reminds me of the old days
Takahiro: wait Yukio , we aren't that old as of yet
Yukio: (laughs) yes you're right, well everyone always mistakes you for a middle aged dude
(Takahiro): why did I even open my mouth
Yukio: thank you everyone for putting in the effort at training today, now I can be at peace knowing that I have a team to play on. Now then let's clean up and get ready to go home
Nakajima: I'm heading in this direction see you all tomorrow
Shino: um, I'm also going in that direction as well
Yukio: okay, you guys travel safely
(Train doors open)
Nanaho: see you guys at school tomorrow Takahiro and Kawaguchi
Takahiro: yeah , I look forward to it
Yukio: take care guys
Takahiro: you too Yukio
Nanaho: now then, shall we get going Yukio
Yukio: yes, let's go
Nanaho: today was great wasn't it, it turned out even better than I had imagined
Yukio: yeah, the best part of today was when Tetsuo joined the team , he will really help us in the long run
Nanaho: yes, I was surprised as well when he decided to join the team out of the blue, because he clearly stated that he wasn't interested. But nevertheless ,in doing so we will be able to make our dream a reality
Yukio: yeah, I'm certain that this time we are capable of going to the inter high
Nanaho: hmm, I have high hopes for you since it's your last year Yukio
Yukio: now you're making me quite nervous
Nanaho: haha very funny
Nanaho: well , I'm heading that way , see you tomorrow captain, I look forward to seeing you and your newly found team at training tomorrow. I will work them half to death to prepare them for the tournament
Yukio: I bet you will (smiles), now then time to go home
