Motivated to be lazy

Chapter 29

A/N: The great CrimsonCelestial helped me with adding to this. It wasn't an easy one to write and I hope you guys like it.

Work is incredibly busy right now and I struggled through this while working 60 hours this week... it was tough so if it isn't very good please be kind :) There's every chance that the next update will take quite some time so I hope that this can keep you guys happy for now ^^

Eiichiro was being a menace, he was panicking once again. I don't understand what he expects if I can be honest, it's not as though we could have made much progress in the short time that we had. I wasn't going to be able to prepare him for this exam in time but it wasn't like I was planning to just sit on the side and let him fail.

I completely understand that if he thought that that was what I was going to do then he is incredibly justified. I made a commitment that I was going to help and I will, the problem is that I don't even know where to begin and I have to work all of that out before I can get started on his curriculum.

This may be difficult to believe, but I can't do everything perfectly. People learn in different ways and I've never taught anyone before except for teaching Arisu chess. As much as I love my best friend and as highly as I think of him, he's not a genius. He's relatively intelligent for normal standards, but he isn't a genius.

It isn't easy to teach someone, it's why being an educator is such a fulfilling role for people. Teaching Arisu chess was simple. I showed her the pieces, I told her the parameters of the game and she figured it out on her own. Simple. I didn't need to reiterate details, I didn't need to sugarcoat strategy explanations and I certainly didn't have to correct her on anything. Teaching someone like Eiichiro isn't the same, there was so much prepwork that needed to be done before we could even start with the process. Those resources simply aren't available on the cruise ship.

Walking to the second deck I'm greeted by complete silence. As per my character, I looked down at my phone and could see the clock running down and at the very last minute, I knocked purposefully on the door.

"Enter," A cheerful female tone answered.

Stepping into the room, I'm greeted by quite the surprising lineup. I've heard a lot about Hoshinomiya-sensei from Honami but haven't had barely any interactions with her aside from classes. She's pretty quirky, she always looks like she's either drunk or hungover. Hoshinomiya-sensei's quite the attractive woman with a very well endowed figure, which makes me wonder why she's still single.

For some reason, when looking at Hosinomiya and Chabashira, I can't help but suddenly think of older versions of Kushida and Horikita. It's quite strange.

"Well, hello there handsome," Hoshinomiya smiled. "Vice President Ayanokouji Kiyotaka has finally joined us. Have a seat."

The other occupants in the room really were an odd group of people. Karuizawa, Sotomura and Yamauchi. As I entered and moved to take a seat, Karuizawa hurriedly moved over before patting the chair she was just sitting on. Yamauchi didn't even look up from staring at the ground. I heard that Manabe had very loudly and vocally broken things off with him, taunting him that he was a complete idiot.

Look, I know it's Yamauchi but it's still not a nice thing to be used by someone. I know that I'm guilty of doing it all the time but I digress. While I don't exactly feel sorry for him, I also didn't want to pour salt on the wound.

"Thank God you're here," Karuizawa whispered gratefully. "I think I would have gone insane if it was just these space cadets."

"They're not that bad..." I trailed off before looking at Yamauchi. "Well Sotomura isn't too bad,"
