The Art(s) of War and Peace; Wednesday, Second Period [ 10/26 ].
When the students came in, they would discover that their teachers (yes, even Shunsui helped) had shoved all the desks back against one wall. Piles of pillows and blankets were tossed around the room in place of the desks, and tables along another wall filled with treats. That were no way an effort to get rid of some of Turtle & Canary's extreme overstock of candy. Really.
Those that had taken any of Ghanima's other classes might recognize the set-up as 'Ghanima is Showing a Movie' Day. Anyone who had taken most of Shunsui's classes would recognize it as 'How a Classroom Should Be Anyway.'
On the board, Ghanima had written one section from chapter seven:
36. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free.
Do not press a desperate foe too hard.
"As some of you may have learned in the past, a cornered rat will fight longer and harder than one with an escape route," Ghanima said clearly. "People will become vicious and do anything and everything if they think there is no hope left. This doesn't just apply to armies. People will also behave this way in regards to their personal lives."
"Which is why today, you all get a movie," she stated. "I had a lovely lesson all written up, but someone," she wouldn't say who (or how) "had spilled sake on it, and I want you to think about how some of the tactics we've discussed could be used in your interpersonal relationships, anyway. If we have time at the end of class, I'd like to discuss what you've just witnessed."
"And," Shunsui tilted his at to the students with a wink, "if there's any time after class, be sure to share with Ghani-chan what we talked about last week ♥. I'm sure she'd be quite interested to hear it ♥."
Oh, Ghanima could hazard a guess as to what sort of message of peace and love - and ♥ - Shunsui had been spreading last week, but she only raised her eyebrow at him slightly.
She was wise to your tricky wiles, shinigami. Still, she spread her arms to indicate the three tables full of goodies. "There'smoddable treats from JGoB and Turtle & Canary, coffee, juice, and hot cider. Help yourselves."
