[Have the very cheerful face of one of your more attentive students, Yoruichi.]

It's always surreal when a teacher says "flunking" and they're actually not talking about me.

[Biology: One of the few academic subjects where he displays a.) interest b.) confidence. Too bad his spelling still sucks.]

Speaking of, I think I'm ready to hand in that lab report, although there was a mild microscope hiccup that kind of messed with the results a bit.

[That the teacher is pretty damn easy on the eyes is a delightful bonus!]

Well then I guess I can't be the problem. [Yes, Yoruichi, you can.]

Make sure you run that thing through a spellchecker, kiddo. Mind-reading isn't in my skillset. And what's this microscope hiccup about?

[It really, really is the best bonus. And have Fai wincing slightly and guiltily.]

Yes ma'am! And I'll have my brother look through it for grammar errors before handing it in.

[And another wince, not so slight this time.] My lab partner may or may not have broken the lens of the first microscope. [You know, the most expensive part? No big deal.] And he did it by twisting the knob really hard because he thought it was "stuck", so he ended up messing up one of our samples too.

Good boy. [He's not a dog, Yoruichi.]

[Sigh.] I was wondering how that one got broken. Whatever. Can be replaced. [She doesn't care that it's the most expensive part. If the school doesn't want to pay for it, she might. If she feels like it. She's got the money.]

You guys are gonna need a do-over on that one. And I think you'd better be the one handling the equipment this time. It makes me look bad to have all my stuff get broken, you know.

[He just responds with an obedient bark, because what is a very basic sense of humor.]

Oh, I managed to save another sample from someone else, and it does work, it's just... not as neat.

[He laughs a bit helplessly.] And trust me, I'm not letting him close to a microscope again until he learns to not try to solve conflicts with inanimate things with violence.

[Something Yoruichi appreciates. That's what.]

Well, we'll see how bad that'll hurt you guys on the grading. [Because she's a tough grader, even though she does things like sleep through her own tests.]

Yeah, it's odd how things with no consciousness don't respond to violence, isn't it?

[He shrugs, unconcerned.] I can make up for it later, right? Wouldn't want to hurt one of the few grades I've actually managed so far~.

[A small, amused little titter.] And yet sometimes it's very satisfying, I have to admit. Not when it's a sensitive piece of equipment, however.

There's always a later. Unless it's the end of the semester, which it's not.

I dunno; I prefer to take things out on someone who can feel it. Though I do usually try to not hurt that kind of sensitive equipment. [Should she be talking like that with a student? Probably not. But who cares, right?]
