Zian looked to the boy who spoke to defend him and bowed his head as a way to say thank you, hearing the questions he wanted to place his hand up but while he understood the Japanese language perfectly, he could only speak it in broken tongue and he dismissed his guardian who was also his translator, sighing he closed his eyes for a moment listening to everything that was said.

Slowly he worked up the courage to try and speak up and answer the questions that had been posed to the class, once he had been given permission to speak he would begin to answer the question “I requested the music class, as not only is it academically adventitious, music is also a powerful way of communicating” he began some of the words came out in his own tongue, but he was trying his best “You do not need lyrics nor to understand them, if there are indeed words, as the music speaks to the soul of a person” he finished the first question

“I wish to learn other musics from the music that I am use to, and have been brought up with, perhaps even learn how to write some myself” he said beginning to answer the second question, though every now and then he would go back just to double check he said certain words correctly or at least to make sure everyone understood what he was trying to say.

Zian bit his bottom lip and thought on the third question, though the train of thought he had was broken as a girl in the class spoke and gave an uneducated answer, he found himself wondering why she was here, then again he believed she was sent here as a mandatory class. He went back to think on the question to see if he could come up with a proper answer. Once again he placed his hand up and waited to be allowed to answer once more before speaking.

“Classical music, is classed as forgotten because as time passes, music evolves and peoples taste within music evolve with it; so truly unless you are brought up hearing classical music it is very doubtful you would ever want to listen to it” he said most of the sentence came out in his native tongue which frustrated him a little but at least he tried to participate and no one could fault him on that even if it didn't fully come out right.
