It's a good thing Keitaro took Archaeology 1 as one of his subjects. That way, I could ask how Sara's doing. It's also easier when you know someone close in your class.
Naru told me that he's not doing very well here in Toudai. However, I highly doubt that what she said is true. In fact, Keitaro's doing quite well in my class.
Take note: He's the manager of the Hinata Sou and he's also a Tokyo U student. You could only imagine how hard the pressure is for Keitaro. He needs to understand that he can't win them all.
I'm not saying to drop his studies or quit being manager -- that would be a folly. He needs to take it easy -- one at a time. He's really quite a fine individual.
Whenever he blames himself for failing an exam, it only becomes harder for him to see his true value; It makes it harder for him to see that he's really topnotch. I'd like him to maintain his confidene, composure, diligence and focus. Some people loss their edge because of a single mistake. They later loss confidence and the will to go on. Then, suddenly everything stop. It's such a waste. I don't want that to happen to Keitaro or to anyone else.
Keitaro is a tenacious student. I know that he won't give up everything. I know he'll realize that it's not yet the end of the line.
Now when one gives up... That'll mark the end for one.
Noriyasu Seta (Seta Noriyasu) is a Tokyo University graduate and professor there who specialises in archaeology, appearing to be a parody of Indiana Jones. Like Keitaro, he was a third-year Ronin. He's clumsy (especially with women), a terrible driver, and an exceptionally skilled martial artist, all partly due to his complete lack of self-preservation. Invariably and ironically, Keitaro comes to mimic him in many aspects by the end of volume 14.
Seta spends a good deal of his time traveling the world on one expedition or another. His goal seems to be to find evidence of an ancient turtle civilization that once flourished in Japan. During the course of his excavations near the Hinata Beach Tea House in the anime, he uncovered an ancient stage where, he theorized, the ancient inhabitants once performed plays devoted to the gods. After the destruction of the Hinata Beach Tea House during the Urashima family traditional play production, Seta offered to let them use the ancient stage for their play in exchange for a role in the play (Journey to the West.) What was intended to be a mock battle became fiercely real, unfortunately, and the stage was ruined. A hot water geyser surfaced from under the stage, forming a very large new hot springs bath. Haruka was able to recover the costs of rebuilding the Tea House by charging admission to the bath.
Seta is also something of an adventurer, and possesses a van that shares his indestructible nature, and apparently has a submarine mode. In the past, Haruka had a major crush on him, though he seemed oblivious. They went on many expeditions together, which are alluded to often in the manga. He had a child with Sara's mother, an American, who later died. Her last request was that Seta marry Haruka. This wish was granted, and Haruka and Seta married at the ruins of Todai, capital of the Turtle civilization.
Seta is Sara's guardian, and she refers to him as "papa."
