Match 9

[mathisradical]

Action | After school | John Doe Park


[ Usually, when Niou's found at the park, he's up to no good. Common examples are crossdressing and harassing anyone who happens to pass by. This time, though, Niou is minding his own business. He's sitting on his favorite bench with a stack of papers beside him. Most of the papers have complicated equations scribbled on them. He has his math textbook and more paper in his lap.

His finished math homework sits on the other side of him, and now he's just doing extra equations for fun.

Feel free to stop by and see what he's doing. He might even offer to help you with your own math, if he's feeling generous. ]

[ He glances up at her and flashes a smirk. ] Math. [ He tilts the paper so she can see what he's writing. He's in the middle of multi-step equation that's taking up an entire quarter of the page. ]

I-I see... that doesn't look like the math we have to do for school, though...

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

[ He grins. ] It's not. I'm doing some of the harder stuff in the back of the book. [ Although it's not near hard enough for his liking. ]

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

B-but um... why? Is math fun...?

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

Sure. Math has always been fun to me. [ He tilts his head. ] Are you good at math?

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

I um... I can do it! It just... takes a few tries... so uh... No, I guess I'm not too good at it...

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

[ He smiles. ] It's not for everyone. But if you ever need help, lemme know. [ Obviously, he's in a good mood. ]

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

O-oh um... thank you, Niou-kun...

Um, do you... do you mind if I just watch for a minute or, um... I mean, Hitomi-chan would let me watch and I could usually pick up how to do problems that way, so...

[ He shrugs. ] Knock yourself out. [ He moves some stuff aside so she has room to sit. ]

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

Thank you!



It's really impressive, though. You really are a genius at this... does it help with tennis? Math?

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say genius... [ Ducking his head because, no, he is not blushing. ] But, yeah, it helps with tennis. Math helps with a lot of things.

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

Mm... I guess I can see how it's helpful with tennis. I'm sure it's good for basketball and baseball too... Maybe if I learn to do a bit better in math I can become better at things...

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

I can show you some things for basketball. Like how to increase your freethrow rate. [ He's actually helped his school's basketball team back at home with that. For a fee, of course. ]
