Good afternoon, Smash Academy!

In spite of the chaotic events of this year's graduation, the school and even the rest of the city seems at peace! [He said, jinxing the entire school.] Truly, these carefree, idyllic, lazy days of summer...

[He suddenly points at the camera, his brow furrowing into SERIOUS BUSINESS MODE.]

Should be anything but! Summer break here is too long to waste on doing nothing!!

[Whoops, he has to check himself here. Deep breath, Kiyotaka. He's trying to prove to a certain someone that he's not just a stick in the mud.]

However, while it certainly is important to refresh one's memory when it comes to schoolwork, all of this free time is also a perfect opportunity to have fun and enjoy ourselves! Even I know that one cannot just spend each and every hour cooped up studying.

[But if you listen closely you can hear the tortured screaming of his soul.]

So tell me: what does everybody do for fun at times like these? There's a whole world of hobbies and recreation that I have yet to experience, but I am looking to change that! Let's work together to make the summer enjoyable, shall we?

[Gordon raises an eyebrow. Progress in academia only goes as fast as your mentor's schedule allows. After dealing with venerable old Austrian coots who edited papers at a rate best measured on a geologic time scale, Gordon's learned not to even TRY to rush things; it's an easy way to lose your damn mind.]

Thanks for the advice, but this kind of work doesn't go any faster on a time-table. It's like trying to find a needle in an entire dimension full of hay. Now why don't we get back to the topic of what you're planning to do this summer..?

[BUT... Well, okay, if it's some kind of scientific research... Kiyotaka may not have a whole lot of experience with that, but he can still get it. It's not something like writing an essay where he has to research findings that are already published somewhere. So he won't nag Gordon on it any further. THAT'S NOT WHAT A FUN GUY DOES.]

Right...! Summer! Actually, just talking about it makes me want to go on a hike right now!
