I've been thinking about what to do with some of the kids on the app over the summer. There are some kids I'm a little worried about leaving unsupervised for three months.
So I was thinking what we made some kind of special summer group with them? And with you in charge!
Yeah, I get the whole thing of wanting to watch those kids- but you sure I’d be a good candidate for that? I’m usually either a teacher kids like or can’t stand, no in-between.
Not saying I won’t, I’m just worried I’ll have literal gremlins on my hands.
[He says this as if half his students don’t like him, when it’s really just they like him, they just don’t like PE. Nox PLEASE.]
Haha, please Nox. The kids like you just fine! It's just PE class that's a nightmare.
[Elliot not even trying to hide how much he hated PE in school. It was the worst.]
Besides, with some of the kids I got in mind, they're inevitably gonna want to go into the Spirit Realm. And I think you're way more qualified to protect them there than I am.
Yeah, well, one of our chronic skippers is on the list of kids. So maybe this will be a chance to convince him not to do that.
[Tsuna your days are numbered]
If you want. You can also do activities not in the Spirit Realm too. In fact I encourage that! Spirit Realm is no place for kids.
But .... we have to be realistic. Just telling them not to go to the Spirit Realm won't do anything. They have abilities and good intentions, but they're not at the age where they really think things through. It's why so many kids signed up for that soccer game.
Maybe if we teach them how to handle and think through dangerous situations responsibly ... we can avoid a repeat of that.
[Nox clicks his tongue, his tone suddenly interested far more than he was before. Tsuna, your days really are numbered.]
I mean, I'm down for anything- and I'm not gonna tell them they can't go. I remember how much of an asshole I was at that age. Telling me not to do something only made me want to do it more.
So yeah, I'll keep them busy. If they wanna do outside activities, we'll do that. And as far as protection... [His voice drifts just a little, thinking.] Elliot, what're your thoughts on maybe teaching basic defense? I mean, I can't teach them the major shit I know, because that stuff is fucking insane. But I know this guy loved kids, and I think he knew what to teach them when he watched over them.
Sure, that'd actually be a great idea! I wasn't very good at it, but I started learning self-defense in military school at their age so it's not unusual. And you'd be way better at teaching that stuff than my old instructors.
I think one of them, Ken, already has fighting experience, but I'm sure the others could use it.
[Someone is gonna be regretting his everything when the group comes together, rip in fuck.]
Even if the kids really aren't for it, I don't think it hurts to at least teach them how to get out of holds. I'll check and ask Ken what he knows, see if we can go from there, and then find a setup for the group.

[Does he agree? Of course not. But he also knows it's not everyone's thing.]
So what, you're thinking I'll be the chaperone if they wanna go? Field trip to the Spirit Realm or something like that?

[Tsuna is truly doomed]
That's true enough. Thanks Nox, I knew I could count on you!

[It's practically legendary]
Sounds like a reasonable plan to me. Thanks Nox, I knew I count on you.
Besides Tsuna and Ken, the other two kids I've picked are Snow White and Souta. Figured a group of four would be a good number to start with.
