The chunk 95 The message -555-

Ahmed came across a message from Olga, beginning with the words: "Hello, Ahmed. Today I want to summarize all I know about Ahmed.”
He had to read everything she had fantasized about. Oddly enough, she guessed a lot. Still, his image was incomplete, simplified, reduced, in Ahmed's opinion.
In Japan, Ahmed found studying languages very difficult. Seventeen years ago, his spoken English was quite bad, and he didn't know Japanese at all when he came to Japan. In addition, in his spare time from school, he worked as a janitor, a waiter, or somewhere else in eateries in various auxiliary jobs that complicated his life then. It was an interesting experience that he was grateful for the destiny, but he survived in Japan only because of his perseverance and hard work in many areas of life.
Among other things, a very large and important part of his life was occupied by a passion for various martial techniques and arts. He spared no energy, time, money, and health to get to the most famous and best teachers in Japan, including the ones in the toughest and most brutal sports. Several times he left his training with broken ribs.
His doctorate degree became an accident: his teacher was very loyal to him because Ahmed was older than the others in the group and one of the most reliable students, so from year to year the professor appointed him as the head of the group: this resulted in a small additional income, as well as grants from the Japanese government for excellent studies.
Friendship with the professor, Olga correctly guessed, helped Ahmed in all areas of life, and not only in Japan. The Japanese professor visited Algeria, too.
Ahmed would never accept that he himself was "soft” and" snobbish." How is this combination even possible?
He was from a family of a simple teacher. In the 90s they lived in a poor neighborhood where theft, hooliganism, and even banditry flourished. Ahmed had never been a coward, and he felt like a warrior in the noblest sense of the word.

Ахмеду попалось сообщение Ольги, начинающееся со слов: “Hello, Ahmed. Today I want to summarize all about Ahmed I know.” “Привет, Ахмед. Сегодня я хочу подытожить все, что я знаю об Ахмеде…”
Ему пришлось прочитать все что она нафантазировала. Как ни странно, она угадала многое. Все же образ его был неполным, упрощенным, на взгляд Ахмеда.
В Японии Ахмеду очень трудно давались языки. Семнадцать лет назад его разговорный английский был ужасен, а японского он не знал совсем, когда приехал в Японию. Кроме того, в свободное от учебы время он работал то дворником, то официантом или еще где-нибудь в забегаловках на разных подсобных работах. И это был интересный опыт, которому он был благодарен, но выжил он в Японии только благодаря своей настойчивости и трудолюбию.
Кроме всего прочего, очень большую и важную часть его жизни занимало увлечение разными воинскими техниками и искусствами. Он не жалел энергии, времени, денег и здоровья чтобы попасть к самым прославленным и лучшим учителям Японии, включая самые жесткие и  жестокие виды спорта. Несколько раз он уходил с тренировок со сломанными ребрами.
Докторская степень получилась случайно: его учитель был очень лоялен к нему, потому что Ахмед был старше других в группе и один из самых надежных студентов, поэтому из года в год профессор назначал его старостой группы: так получался дополнительный небольшой доход, как и гранты от японского правительства за отличную учебу.
Дружба с профессором, Ольга верно угадала, помогла Ахмеду во всех областях жизни, и не только в Японии.
Ахмед никогда не согласился бы с тем, что он “мягкий”, да еще и “сноб”. Как вообще возможно такое сочетание?
Он был из семьи простого учителя, в 90-е годы они жили в бедном квартале, где процветали воровство, хулиганство и даже бандитизм. Ахмед никогда не был трусом и ощущал себя воином в самом благородном понимании этого слова.

Hello Ahmed.
Today I want to summarize all that I know  about Ahmed.
As I understood, he is from a good Algerian family. Good in all senses: most of them have good health, good education, good job and good social liaisons. His father is still alive, prouds of his son Ahmed. His uncle is a person in charge, in the education sphere. And, as I got, Ahmed has many relatives in the sphere related to teaching and education.
Ahmed always was a very good student, and had a strong memory. An adorable architect of his was Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris. It is no wonder. Ahmed is native French,  so he had the opportunity to read Corbusie's works in their original language. Le Corbusier was popular those years, Ahmed lived in Algeria influenced by France. Ahmed always had chosen the most spectacular and affective ideas. Ahmed tends to such high-expressive architecture, which consists of clear universal ideas. He worships historical styles in architecture. His position was: it did not pass away as just a huge period of humanity development. Ahmed's desire for the beginning was to mix ancient orient African architecture with modern Le Corbusier's mechanical ideas of buildings and of man, his earlier drawings shows.
After graduating from a University in 1993, Ahmed started teaching in the University: he had good relationships with relatives and he was reliable. Nobody takes as a lecturer a just graduated bachelor guy if they cannot trust him all the 100%. Moreover, they were given him the position of architect adviser for years, 1993-2001, until the new campus of the University had been built. I think he also did architecture planning for some public projects, maybe villas. He obviously had a lot of energy. He made his project of a memory tower instead of a trade center in New York.
I don't know, was he married those years, but I suspect he had a very early marriage and has as minimum a son from his first marriage. His achievements in studying were best in his **** University. Cool guy. But he looked like a goose, with a thin long neck, and had puppy's eyes.
Then, I didn't guess what happened: probably he divorced, if he was married, I doubt here, or he decided to make a teaching career, he entered magistrature. After graduating it with honor he spent one year teaching students, and he got an invitation to study in Japan. I am sure, it was a casual, like everything in his life, invitation, as an exchange between Universities. He wasn't forced to save his money for those four years. Maybe he has good relatives and, obviously, good social skills additional to his fine memory. Maybe he even was clever too.
Nagoya Institute of Technology is one of the best Universities in Japan. Best foreign students are encouraged by grants and scholarships from the Japanese government. But he had to be competitive here. I hope, as usual, social skills and being involved in country culture (martial arts) helped him to be first. Clear head, hard will, persistence, attention to people and their needs. Here he had a Japanese girlfriend, in his first year in Japan in 2002. He, as usual, used what he could find near him..but for most people it is a usual thing to find love or to marry classmates or neighbors, or colleagues, or a relative. Probably the first marriage could be with a Japanese girl.
His skills were improved here, in Nagoya. Todoroki-sensei seems to me to be a dreamer, a person flying in a blue blue sky, in the cosmos. I like him. A very handsome Japanese, by the way, despite he's short. He appreciated Ahmed's achievements, encouraged him, and helped him very much. Ahmed consumed and accepted Todoroki's researches and used them during all his career in teaching and science works. From 2005 till 2010 Ahmed didn't work, spending his scholarship and grants. Where did Leyla come from? I cannot imagine. What I cannot get is why he worked for his doctor degree 5 or 6 years, and Leyla only two years? Did Todoroki-sensey give him this opportunity for staying in Japan as long as possible, or are there different rates of doctorate, I don't know. Ahmed attracted his young wife in each publication from the University: maybe for earning more money. After they divorced, she abruptly changed her research work directions.
In 2016 Todoroki laboratory was closed. Ahmed was forced to return to Algeria, working hard in Bejaia. What the hell ran between Leyla and Ahmed? I saw her avatar in Linkedin and others: such women are more strong than any men. I would have been afraid of her if I had been her student. Such women: modest and polite, but strong and clever, should attract my personage well due to him seeming meek and snobbish. It is interesting, when he started the group of martial arts in Algeria, did he train people regularly? Or from time to time as an invited sensei.
Then he found a place in other Japanese Universities, from time to time. They say, it is hard for doctor's degree graduated Japanese people to find a fit to their degree work in Japan. Foreigners can earn more or less compared to Japanese. It depends on their qualification and experience. One guy, a lecturer in barrier-free design, the previous lecturer before Ahmed, I saw, worked as a teacher in a pottery club after the job in the University. He was skilled in making exclusively decorated cool pots, which are so expensive in Japan. Ahmed came after him at this place and stayed for a year or two..I don't remember. What does Ahmed do now? I wish I knew..I leave him for a while..for there are more interesting objects.
Close your eyes and look around.
