The Final QuestionPlease answer the following question:
In the past, to cure the illness of those with authority, the shaman will,
“Use both hands to make imprints, use the vajra, have a ma.s.sage-like ritual, and start chanting’.
What does the ‘vajra’ here refer to?
Himeji Mizuki’s answer:
“It’s a Buddhist tool used as part of prayers with the objective to cure illnesses.”
Teacher’s comment:
Correct answer. This ‘vajra’ is ‘a weapon used to chase troubled and demons away’ when praying. It’s a weapon, so it’s either made from bra.s.s or bronze. The vajra is cla.s.sified as three-p.r.o.nged, five-p.r.o.nged or more. There will be photos for introduction later, and you can have a better impression after looking at them.
Yoshii Akihisa’s answer:
“A thing that is crushed and given to patients to drink for curing illnesses.”
Teacher’s comment.
It would, probably, be extremely hard to make it into a solution.
Tsuchiya Kouta’s answer.
“Something used to stuff into the backside to cure fever.”
Teacher’s comment:
That would be a really extreme solution.
“Princ.i.p.al. About the exchanging of facilities between C cla.s.s and F cla.s.s.”
“Oh ya. Those brats would finally change their facilities?”
“Looks that way.”
“So in other words, C cla.s.s now have F cla.s.s’ facilities? That’s quite the drop.”
“They themselves declared war, so they couldn’t grumble there.”
“I never thought of hearing any grudges about winning or losing—and then. What did the brats from F cla.s.s do?”
“Ehh. Once F cla.s.s got C cla.s.s’ facilities, they challenged E cla.s.s to a summoning war.”
“E cla.s.s? Looks like they intend to make use of other cla.s.ses without learning their lesson. It ended with a peaceful ceasefire, didn’t it?”
“No, well—”
“What?”
“F cla.s.s won in the end.”
“Oh my. So that happened. I didn’t expect a victor there. Looks like they were ambushed from behind or something.”
“Well, about that.”
“Un? What about it?”
“The C cla.s.s facilities F cla.s.s got were exchanged with E cla.s.s that was supposed to have downgraded facilities.”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Huh?”
“I think it was like ‘since we can trade facilities, let’s use this right’ or something.”
“Well, it’s not against the rules anyway. Really&h.e.l.lip;exchanging facilities with a losing cla.s.s. What are those brats planning to do next&h.e.l.lip;?”
