The chapter opens with a lecture on the importance of being a good person. It is the beginning of a new term of study, and the students are eager to get back to class. One of the students introduces himself as a "transfer" from another class. He introduces himself and says that he hopes to get along with the other students in the class. The two students begin to talk, and one of them asks the other if he is a "comic artist" . The other student replies that he is, and that he has been blown away by the idea of being an artist. He says that after he thinks about it, he will know what he wants to do with his life. The student says that the teacher is getting on his nerves lately, but that he was wrong to think he was a good guy. He adds that he will be out to "factorize" the student's head.
