"Gohru, have you been going to a dojo lately?"
He froze up when the matron brought this up. Looking behind him, he sees a blank-faced matron along with children who were whispering around him like he was a hot topic.
'How in the name of the holy flying fish?'
He had never told anyone about his business in the dojo at all in the past month, so how in the world did she know?
'Was it the video? Impossible. No way something like that blew up so quickly.'
He denied the thought of the video being the culprit because he expected the video to blow up in a few days' time. So, he did the most logical thing that he could think of. He lied.
"No, Grandma. I haven't."
The matron looked at him for a second before pinching her temples, looking disappointed.
"Don't lie to me, Gohru. It's all over the news."
"... What?"
'NEWS?! WHAT NEWS? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?!'
"It's all over the news, Gohru. '8-year-old child defeating a student twice his age' is the opening news report of NHK. You even have a newspaper page dedicated to you." She explains as she handed him a newspaper.
Snatching the paper from her hands, he opened the page dedicated to him.
8-YEAR-OLD DEFEATS STUDENT TWICE HIS AGE!
Yesterday at 16.23 p.m. , a student named Jin Gohru, age 8, defeated the ace of Tokyo's Outoji Karate Gym, Hirose Kenichi, age 17, at a sparring match!
The video of him defeating the ace had gone viral in a matter of hours upon the Master of Outoji Karate posting online on their website and HeroTube, causing an uproar in the Martial Arts Community. Martial Artists in various dojos in Japan are now seeking him for his 'one-in-a-million' talent!
"So? Anything to say, Jin Gohru?" She asked in a menacing voice, which Gohru had no other choice but, to tell the truth.
"... In my defense, I didn't expect this to blow up this much."
"And where have you been finding the funds to go to the dojo, Gohru?"
She asked suspiciously to which the boy replied.
"Actually they gave a free month's trial, so I didn't spend a dime at all. And there's a tournament coming up soon where I can win 50,000 Yen!" He explained as the matron just sighs.
"... Just be careful alright, Gohru? I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Looking at Grandma, Gohru had a fuzzy feeling in his stomach as he replied.
"I will, Grandma. I will."
That was a lie, he knew it deep down.
"You're famous, nii-chan! Famous!" Kodao yelled at his face while walking to school.
"I guess I am." He said to himself mostly since he didn't believe that the video had blown up so quickly. He underestimated the interest of the bored public.
"Oh, and I saw on TV that there's going to be a tournament soon! So, are you joining?"
"Yeah, I plan to. I'm registering today later."
