Episode15: Duck Training

Some grown-ups still innocently believe kids would behave if they warn them enough or just simply tell

them what to do. However, those ones are blind to a crucial human nature: We tend to do what we are told

NOT to do. Nico is more human than most of human beings.

 

One day,Mrs White announced about a phone call, reporting that some of students at the accademy went

into a hamburgar shop nearby the station. As she glared at students, she squeaked,

"Girls, this is a great opportunity to make sure that all of you understand this fact that we DO NOT allow

any students for any reasons to stop by any places on the way home. That is unless we have an official

notification from your parents. The witnessed violators of the rule would be expeled without any

exceptions. Am I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Sir." Nico screamed.

"Very well, Miss Bloomer. I hope you really mean it."

"Certainly, Sir!"

She said that "Sir" again with a soldier-like manner. And all the other students giggled.

Mrs White said,

"Miss Bloomer. You think you are funnier than you really are, aren't you? You will be sorry. Oh, yes, you

will."

"I'll make sure not to be, Mrs White. Thank you very much."

"Miss Bloomer, remember I'm watching you." She said as she left the classroom.

At the moment, Nico got a brilliant idea how to avoid getting caught when she enjoyed her evening snack

at a lacal hamburger shop with the gangs.

 

She gathered the gangs and sais,

"Hey, this is a big challenge. We should be prepared for a state of emergency!"

"What do you mean, Nico?" One of the gangs asked.

"I think Miss White would try to watch us more vigilantly and would use all her network to catch us having a good time at our joint from now on."

"Oh, no."

"No worries, mates! All we need to do is a little training for an emergency."

"What do we do?" the gangs asked excitedly.

"Ok. This is my plan. Our seats are in the upstairs, right? Mrs White wouldn't bother to buy something to

eat to check on us everyday. She would just peek up through the window from the street, I reckon. She can't find us if we go under the table as quick as possible. So, we practice to do so when I give a cue. "

It was crazy but fun enough idea for all the gangs to follow. That's how they sterted their training days.

 

In the morning before the class starts, they practiced ducking as Nico gave a cue, "White Alarm!" Even

during lunch break, Nico sometimes gave the cue. And eventually more girls wanted to join their deadly

serious game. The training days went on for a while and all the girls mastered how to duck within a few

seconds.

 

After the training day, Nico and the gangs went back to their joint the first time in a month. While they

indulged in tasting the juicy hamburgers, they had a chance to put their skill into practice. Nico,

the clairvoyante, detected Mrs White, the teacher from hell, on the street just before she takes a peek

through the window and said,

"White Alarm!"

 

Mrs White didn't find anyone: The gangs enjoyed their hambergers fully till the last bite.

 

Morals: Lay up for a rainny day and you won't be SORRY.
