SYMBOL

Again? How many times do I have to tell you kids?

Quit horsing around!

I'm off to school.

Wait, Lorena!

Take it easy.

They didn't mean to break it.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Now study hard.

Tonito,

head off to school before Mama's thunder...

strikes again.

My, how kind of you!

Thanks to you spoiling the kids,

they won't listen to me!

Oh, I don't spoil them.

Tonio!

Come.

After school, we're meeting

in front of Karen's church, ok?

I know.

You forgot something.

Where's my kiss?

- Thanks, Grandpa. - Take care.

I will.

Hey.

Don't you think he's acting a bit strange today?

In what way?

I don't know... He's just different.

You think so?

His opponent today is nearly half his age.

Maybe

but don't worry.

Experience is more valuable than youth.

It's Karen.

Honey, Karen's here to pick you up.

Ok.

Take care.

And tell her to drive safer!

Stinking piece of junk!

Morning, Dad.

C'mon, start!

How's your new job?

It's all right.

That's good...

Mom told me to...

Shit!

I haven't got all day!

What?

Never mind.

THE EDUCATION

Excuse me!

Where am I?

I'd like to go home!

Sorry.

What is this...

What is this?

What's going on...

What's going on?

I apologize for whatever I did.

But this is enough.

I'd like to go home.

Oh, c'mon...

What is this?!

Ok. That was smelly!

What's your problem?

What's this, Antonio?

You really think Escargot Man's gonna win?

What's so funny?

Are you stupid? There's no way that wimp will win.

Exactly! Think about it!

You punks don't know

what true strength is.

Strength?

He's never been strong, not once!

The truly strong don't have to show it.

They keep it inside.

What a weirdo.

What the hell are you talking about, Antonio?

You're stupid!

Just plain old stupid!

The teacher's here.

Good morning, kids.

Good morning, ma'am.

Ice cream!

Soy sauce, by any chance?

Hello?

Soy sauce... You're a little late!

Yes!

Bingo!

Hey! Hey! Wait a sec!

We didn't agree to this! I don't wanna die yet!

Wait a sec! Wait a sec!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

No!

I said I'm sorry!

Ok. That was smelly!

The Diamond, Vol. 4

Nice cliffhanger...

Now for Volume 6.

The Diamond, Vol. 7

No, not 7.

I wanna read Volume 6.

No, not 8.
