I need help working on my Ranma 1/2 fic called Mr. Shimmata.
Furikan High has a new history teacher who's method are a bit unorthadox. His name is Mr. Jiorji Shimmata. He is a teacher by day and a stand-up comedian at night. He also likes to work his stand-up routines in his teachings. However, he maybe Japanese but he is not very much patriotic, in fact, he hates Japan.
He hates the adults, he hates certain tradiotions, he hates the customs, but what he hates the most is how the kids are being raised and how he believes that they are being lied too by the parents, the school system, and the government. That's why he decided to be a history teacher so that he can tell them the truth. So that is why I am asking anyone if they can find some information on Japanese history, the kind that schools won't tell you.
This is what I got so far.
It was just your typical day in Furiken High School when the students of Ranma's Japanese history class were having their latest gossip.
"I heard that our new teacher is a guy." Said one male student.
"Darn, I was hoping it would be a hot babe." Replied another one, sounding obviously disappointed.
"Do you think our new history teacher is good looking?" Asked a female student.
"Oh, I certainly hope so." Another female student anticipated with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"It seems everyone is anxious about this new teacher we're getting." Akane acknowledge.
"Ah, it doesn't make any difference to me." Ranma responded with a bored sigh. "All teachers are the same."
"Oh come on Ranma, at least let's give this one a chance." Akane lectured her wayward fiancé. "We hardly ever get any new teachers because of this school's reputation." She, of course, is referring the constant battles that Furiken always gets, especially the ones that centered around Ranma.
"Look! Here he comes!" The students shuffled around, trying to get to their seats before their new teacher came in. Just as the last person sat down, the door flung open. Underneath the doorway there was a man standing with a briefcase. He looked like he is around his mid-50s. His receding black hair and this goatee and beard made him look like someone from the yazuka, or a strict person. His clothes were somewhat unusual. They looked like something from an American movie. He wore a traditional American suit with a light blue tie. It looked as if he was going to a funeral or some other special occasion.
"Man what's with that get-up?" One student asked.
"I don't know but he looks like he's going to some kind of service after class." Another student answered.
"Actually these are my working clothes." The new teacher stepped in. "I only wear regular clothes if we have casual day."
The class were surprised that their teach actually responded to that remark without any annoyance.
"Now I got your attention, my name is Mr. Jiorji Shimmata." Jiorji wrote his name on the board. "But you can call me Jiorji, or Shimmata, or Shit Head if you prefer but never call me Mister, nor Shimmata-san, or God forbid Shimmata sensai. I was never crazy about formalities."
Ranma and his classmates went wide-eyed and jaw-dropped after hearing what Jiorji just said.
"What? You think that I was one of those tight ass teachers that you kids usually get?"
"Um it's not that Mr..." Ranma was going to explained but Jiorji reminded him.
"Uh-uh remember what I told you? No Mister, nor san, nor sensai. Your name kid?"
"Ranma Saotome"
"Right, then what could be the problem Ranma?"
"Well Shimmata, it's just that you swore."
"You mean 'Shit Head'? Yeah so what? You kids are not in pre-school. This is a high school. You are suppose to swear, and belch, and possibly fart. Besides you all hear those kinds of words on cable TV or possibly satellite. Hell I wouldn't be surprised that a few of you watch HBO/Cinemax and Showtime/The Movie Channel after dark."
Two of the male students, Hiroshi and Daisuke, blushed in embarrassment when Jiorji mention that last part.
"Yeah you know who you are." The new teacher went back to what he was doing. "Now we got that out of the way I want everyone to get out their history books."
The class did what Shimmata has instructed.
"And then toss them out of the windows."
"WHAT!?!" The whole room exclaimed.
"But Mr... Uh... Shimmata, these books are school property." Akane debated.
"Well the school will be able to pick them up now won't it, Ahhh."
"Akane Tendo."
"Right, Akane Tendo. So if you want to keep your grades in the high average, please do as I say."
Ranma, Akane, and the rest of the class did what Jiorji instructed and throw out their history books. Some of the students were actually found delight of doing this.
"Okay since we got rid of those generic cookie cutter textbooks I can give you new books that I recently acquired before I took this position." Shimmata opened his brief case and brought enough several new books for his students. "Please take one and pass the rest down."
Ranma and Akane received their new history books when Ranma read the title "True Japanese History: The truth that your school never wanted you know."
"You read it right Ranma." Jiorji commented. "For years schools like yours only taught you what they know. In other words, lies. I how ever never believed what my teachers told me. For not only I am about to teach you your history but I am on a mission to tell you the truth of everything. The truth of Japan."
Ranma was aw-inspired at Shimmata's declaration. Could he find someone that he can actually respect?
"Now then kids, turn your new books to chapter one."
Once the students did as Shimmata instructed they came across the first chapter entitled 'In the Beginning', but once they started reading it the kids were stunned by what it was saying.
"No way! Is this really true?" Ranma asked.
"Would I lie?" Shimmata answered with a wide grin on his face. "Now then how we get started on our first lesson for the day?"
"What is Palo.. Pali... Paleo..." Ranma tried to pronounce that one word.
"Pale-o-lith-ic" Mr. Shimmata sounded out for him. "Pale as in 'you a little bit pale'. O as in "Oh My God They Killed Kenny! You Bastards!"
The students laughed at their teacher's reference to South Park.
"Lith as in that town in the province North Brabant in the Netherlands. And ic as in 'Ic! That's the biggest snot you've ever made from that nose.'"
The class were enjoying all the jokes that Jiorji was making.
"The Japanese Paleolithic period was began around 100,000 to 30,000 BC, when the earliest stone tool implements have been found, and continued to around 14,000 BC, at the end of the last ice age, which corresponds to the beginning of the Mesolithic Jōmon period. The 35,000 BC date is most generally accepted: any date of human presence before 30,000–35,000 BC is controversial, with artifacts supporting a pre–35,000 BC human presence on the archipelago still being of questionable authenticity. The earliest human bones were discovered in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka. Radiocarbon dating has shown that the fossils date back to around 14,000 - 18,000 years ago." Shimmata was making outlines and foot notes on the board to help explain this information to the students.
And so Shimmata and his class spend the rest of their time together discussing their first lesson together.
"...and so that is why we hardly ever seen assholes like them again." Jiorji concluded. "So any questions?"
Ranma, Akane, and the rest of the class just stared at Shimmata with childlike disbelief. Most of it because they never heard of any of this in their old history books, but it's also because that their new history teacher kept on swearing during the whole lesson.
"No? Then you'll already know what you just learned." Shimmata gave out a smirk and with that, the bell rang. "Well that's it for our first lesson for today. Tomorrow we'll discuss what we learned or see how many of you can keep from snickering." The new history teacher gather all of his belongings in his brief case and headed out the door. "It was nice meeting all of you and thank you for that warm greeting."
