Akemi faltered, surprised that someone would interrupt such an important speech. Who wouldn't want to know how to ensure a better future?! This boy was coming across like an arrogant idiot! As if someone like him would know anything from his lessons!

With a smile of amusement, Akemi said, "[i]...If that's so, what am I saying?[/i]" Speaking in English with an obvious accent. Considering how much she knew of the language by the time she'd entered high school, clearly everyone else had to be at least that level! Should he not know what she'd said, Akemi could take that as infallible proof that he knew nothing about anything, and thus, needed her help to succeed!

It was the only logical conclusion, after all.
