Titeuf is in the middle of a meditation session. This is quite a surprise, as it's very unusual to see him so calm and quiet. According to what Manu, who is incredibly knowledgeable about Eastern wisdom, explained to him, it's very simple: you just close your eyes, stay focused for a few minutes, and with a little patience and willpower, it should work.

Today's problem concerns the report card, which must have arrived home, and which is probably not as brilliant as it should have been. Fortunately, Titeuf has the solution: through thought, he hopes to convince his parents that all this is only of relative importance, and that next time they will have something to be happy about. Being a medium is great! The closed faces and unhappy looks that greet him don't seem to agree; something is wrong... So Titeuf still has progress to make in mathematics, history-geography, and as for spiritual experiences, there too the results are gently catastrophic: he is well below average.
