>"Now, while this has ended up a self-study period, do you even have anything to study, having just arrived here? Or has someone already gone over the curriculum with you in some capacity?"

>"Not yet, no. Kamishi- Ow." she breaks off, and sticks her tongue out. "Bit my songue."
>"Y'can call her Keine." Rin offers. "Easier on the tongue."
>"Sanks." Sanae voices, rolling her tongue around in her mouth before finishing her first thought. "Keine-sensei was going to give me the details, I was told, but since she's out, I figured I'd pick it up along the way."

>"Sounds good to me."
>"Out of curiosity, though, is it common for students to check up on their teachers when they're out?"
>"Check up?" Letty asks her.
>"Mm-hmm. Back in Suissa, when some teachers were out on sick days or whatever, we used to check in on them, take them food, medicine, keep them company if they wanted, that kinda thing."

>"Most teachers, anyhow." Sanae replies. "There were a couple from the mainland that had a bit more starch in the shirt than others, but that's the norm for mainlanders." She glances around, evidently realizing that she is now ON the mainland. "Sorry."

>"My parents wanted to be closer to their work. Well, when I say my parents, I mean mostly Suwako. There's a new Iron Rings opening here in town, and she likes to stay near new clubs when they open for a few years."
>That name rings a bell, but Letty completes the picture before it forms in your mind. "Your mother's Suwako Moriya?" she blurts.
>This draws a chorus of surprised shouts from over half the class, and nearly everyone turns their heads, chairs or both to look in Sanae's direction, including Meiling. Iron Rings is one of the most well known clubs in Yamato, just as much for its success as for its colorful proprietress, one Suwako Moriya. She also owns a chain of music supply stores, you think, but she's known more in the media for her clubs. Iron Rings is a combination dance club/host club, one of the first host clubs to ever be a country-wide franchise. Every once in a while over the past few years, you'd hear rumors that the franchise was finally going to open here in town, but it always turned out to be nothing more than a rumor. Always, it seems, until now.

>You maintain your composure, as only you can do. You note that Rin does, as well, though she does so with a bit more obvious effort than you.
>Sanae seems like she's used to this sort of thing. In fact, rather than react to the noise around her, she merely gives Letty a "Yup!"

>Indeed.
>Sanae chuckles. "Yeah, I get that a lot." Letty looks a bit ashamed of herself for blurting it out like she did, but Sanae waves her hand in her direction. "Forget about it... uh..." she pauses, expectantly.
>"Letty Whiterock. Letty's fine."
>"Someone would've said before too long." Sanae finishes her thought.

>"I'm easy either way." Sanae replies. "But I appreciate the sentiment."
>It doesn't appear that the rest of your class shares that opinion, as they continue to mutter excitedly, some even clamoring for admission and deals in Sanae's direction, until Murasa stands up and declares, "Come on, guys. Keine-sensei'll headbutt all of us if you keep this up." She flashes Sanae a grin. "Plenty of time to harass the new girl at lunch."
>As the rest of your class, somewhat reluctantly, returns to their seats and studies, Sanae wonders aloud, "Headbutts?" followed by an enthusiastic smile. "Cool."

>How accurate is that reputation, anyway?

>A little overblown. Keine is a remarkable intelligent teacher, but she can also be very... passionate. She gained her reputation one day when she and Mokou engaged in a wrestling demonstration to the school wrestling team, back in the first year. You were not present at the time, but by all accounts, the duel was epic in its scope. It evidently ended when Keine, her eyes bloodshot and bulging, foam frothing at the corners of her mouth and trailing blood from her eyes, reared back her iron skull and delivered a skull-splitting headbutt to her opponent.
>Or so the story goes. Obviously the truth is far more understated than that.
>In the classroom, that passion shines through as well. Not only in her teaching, but in her bearing as well. You've never seen her do it, but the stories go that, whenever she runs across a textbook she particularly and strongly disagrees with, she headbutts it across the room.

>Assuming no further interruptions, try to bring Sanae up to speed on history class. Give an overview of what we've covered up to this point and see what of it she's familiar with (or not), and then go over what the present topic is, as well as general things about the course, like marking schemes and exam schedules.

>"If you say so." Sanae says, though her eyes seem almost alight at the idea of a teacher distributing headbutts willy nilly. "I can think of a few folks back at Six Stars that coulda used a headbutt or two." She then ooohhhs. "Imagine how she'd do on the soccer field!"
>She goes on like this for about a minute or so, then comes back down to earth, as it were, and you and Letty set about giving her an overview of your history class. You note Rin focuses on her own studies at the time. Under your ownership, Rin has learned the value of education, and makes the most of her opportunities to study and learn more. Despite the fact that her grades are not spectacular, her enthusiasm for learning has earned your praise. You believe it's only a matter of time before her numbers match her earnestness.
>Your education of Sanae goes very smoothly, once you have her full attention. Just about everything you've covered so far this year, she covered in her old school, or seems to have a knowledge for as it is. Letty asks her about it, and it seems that one of Six Stars better programs is its history program. And the rest is her 'father's' fault, though she corrects herself when she uses the term. The young lady is quite intelligent, you can tell, but you get the impression that she's prone to letting her head drift in the clouds.

>If we feel we've adequately covered the gist of history class, try to give her a little overview of the other subjects here and any quirks she ought to be aware of, either in the subject matter or those teaching it.

>Considering the 'quirkyness' of the faculty here, that would be a fair amount of ground to cover inside half an hour, and can be covered in greater detail at, say, lunch. So you limit yourself to the classes coming today. Sanae doesn't seem very interested in chemistry, and she admits to it when Letty asks. Sanae said that they way it was taught in Six Stars was way too close to math, and she's no big fan of math either. You inform her that the teacher here, Medicine-sensei, might be able to correct that, depending on how you run her.
>You don't suspect English will pose too much of a problem for her, as she claims to be fluent in the language of Eagleland already, and demonstrates it for you. Evidently Kanako's job entailed a great deal of moving, but traveling the globe, coupled with her 'father's' apparent gift for teaching, has lead to Sanae being fluent in four languages: Yamato, English, Eire and a middle eastern language you've never actually heard of before. You get the feeling there's a story behind that one.

>Throughout your tutelage of Sanae, you can't help but hear the whispering of your classmates around you. Some of it is of course still about Sanae and her connection to Iron Rings, but a large volume of the muttering expresses the sentiment of 'The new girl's getting such attention from the Morning Star!' 'How lucky...' in a mixture of envy and awe. If Sanae notices this, she shows no sign, but you get the distinct impression that your tutoring her is either going to make her rep bigger than it already is, or draw more envy towards her from your more ardent fans. If not both. But such is the way of the schoolgirl.

>You are indeed used to drawing that sort of attention. It's been yours since... nearly the start of 9th grade. Right around the time puberty set in for the bulk of the students of the Mayoiga system. And Sanae seems just as used to it as you are.
>This class will end in about three minutes or so.
