The life is like a Shinny Steel (English version)

What I found ...

* These are the translated notes of the notebook of Hideki Naoko, a boy that although he had not known the world before, that when he did he fell in love with him.

Hello, I am Hideki Naoko, I am 20 years old, not long ago I fulfilled them and since I was a child and had consciousness, I have always lived in a bubble because I always had very little contact with the outside world, my parents were always very, very strict with me, I was practically not allowed to talk to anyone that my parents did not authorize; all the time I was educated at home, I had very restricted that is what I could read, see, that is, they controlled 99% of my life, except for my thought because although I did attend the festivals of my prefecture, I almost never could fully live with other children, or with other people, because my parents had the thought of: "If they do not contribute anything to your education, better not to get close, just join with those who are as smart as you, do not let anyone (I mean they did not want to) have influence (or 'bad influence' rather) on you. "

In short, I had almost everything isolated, which for me was not very pleasant, since, I always wanted to live with people, because in several history books I read that living beings have lived with their peers, and from that, I have always asked myself and to this day I still do it: Why did my parents try so hard to acquire as much knowledge as possible? and why did that imply not having direct contact with the world? Those two questions have followed me during all this time and the worst, I still can not find the answers.

Anyway, until recently a problem arose, in order to obtain my certification of my studies something happened that had not happened before, I am looking for a recognition for a scholarship, but to do so, while reviewing the requirements, I saw two of them that left me thinking, because I did not have them.

1. Applicants should write a letter where they describe in writing the best experiences outside the study.

2. In case of not sending the writing, applicants who have documentation proving their level of knowledge in any of the available languages ​​(See Annex 4) may present them in the administrative office of Students for their comparison.

Note: In case any of the available languages, turns out to be the applicant's native language, it can not be accredited as a language, except in cases of naturalization or in the annex of a letter from the school in which it is taking carry out their studies, authorizing the use of these documents for school purposes.

-Can not be! - I exclaimed with a touch of disappointment.

A few days later, I found a place where they offer discounts on language courses, where it is originally a high performance training center for different fighting styles, with large facilities, close to many shops, oh, it was perfect! all my life at the same time that I was studying, I was also going to Japanese style combat classes, there were many variations, this place was what I had always dreamed of ...

BUT, it was too perfect to be easily accessible, the only drawback was that although I read it on a Japanese page, that place is in another country ...

It means that this will be the biggest problem to convince my parents, at least for today I'll go to the library, I'll take a ride on my bike, like every day, maybe I'll take another route to get there, and at least for a few instants live my life and see what I want.

- Father, I will go to the library, in that place I will concentrate better and ... I need another book?)

- Okay son, remember what we have always said and done, do not deviate and come back early, today you have Kendo class and must be punctual.

-Yes father. I bowed like a bow and a farewell and left.
