Birth of a Club

During class hours in class 2-A classroom, Ken was listening to the discussion with a boring look on his face while resting his chin onto his right palm with his elbow on his desk and thought to himself,

"As usual, this is so boring." As he looked around his surroundings, he saw a blonde female classmate who was sitting near the front row. "Oh, yeah. I’m classmates with that woman."

"Akatsuki. Akatsuki!", the teacher called out while reading the textbook on his hands as Ken faced in front. "What’s the answer to this question?" When the teacher faces where Ken sat, he was already gone from his seat, and the window beside it was wide open. "He jumped again, huh?", the teacher sighed.

All students replied in unison, "Yep!"

The teacher complained, "Then why didn’t any of you report it?!"

As Ken was walking the hallway while looking at the classrooms, he mumbled to himself,

"What’s the point of going to school anyway? It’s not like you need algebra to pay for your bills or something." He sighed in disappointment.

When Ken saw a classroom with its door a little opened, he went inside without hesitation, and coughed due to the dust occupying the whole room.

Ken walked around the room and observed as he talked to himself, "Obviously, this room was not used for years."

On a dusty desk that was standing in front of him, he saw a writing using the dust 'Sabrina was here :P'

"Huh? Of course you have, Sabrina. She’s really an airhead for complaining that her grades are low but she’s always cutting classes", Ken commented as he walked away from the desk in a disappointed expression.

A few minutes had passed, and Ken was leaning on a wall asleep while squatting on the floor with a drool flowed out of his mouth. As the school bell rang, Ken’s snot bubble popped and caused him to wake up from slumber.

Back at the class 2-A classroom, the blonde female student was arranging her notebooks and placed them inside her bag. Ken went in the classroom and grabbed her left wrist out of the blue.

It went silent for a while and all the students of the classroom said in unison,

"OOHHH!!!" All murmured amongst themselves afterwards.

Ken yelled as he pulled the blonde student out of the room, "Shut Up, you extras!"

As Ken dragged her while walking in the hallway, she kept on struggling to resist but Ken’s grip was getting stronger.

The female student, who was in pain, said, "Let go of me, Akatsuki! Where are you taking me?" Ken gave her the cold shoulder in return. "You’re harassing me, you know."

"So what?", Ken mumbled under his breath.

"What?"

"I said, 'so what'. Just shut that big mouth of yours, little b*tch!", Ken angrily demanded, and the girl stopped struggling.

In the hallway where the two students were still walking, a shadow was following the two of them.

"Just come out, Atsushi", Ken said as Atsushi came out of hiding and walked behind them.

Atsushi asked, "How did you know I was here? Mind reading? And why are you harassing a woman?"

Ken replied in s straight face, "Intuition and I’m not harassing a woman…"

In the abandoned classroom from earlier, Ken shoved the female student harshly towards the floor as she groaned in pain.

"…I’m harassing a cocky brat", Ken continued.

"Huh?", Atsushi and the female student asked in confusion.

"Don’t you 'huh' me. Someone has been attacking me for the past few days and it made me lose sleep. Isn’t that right, Kwon-san or should I say…" Ken explained in an irritated manner. "Purple lion king?" The female student's face was shown into picture.

The female student smiled as she slowly stood up. She then patted the dust off her vest and skirt as she said with a serious expression,

"I never would’ve thought that I’ve been caught this fast. I was expecting for you to deduce it until arc three, but you’re too smart for me. that’s right, I am… wait." She suddenly complained. "I’m not a lion king!"

Ken explained in a cocky manner as he laughed continuously, "Of COURSE YOU ARE. You even have T*mon and P*mbaa to do your dirty work. I guess you’re too weak to beat me or purple lion king is just too scared to hurt her little paws."

Atsushi laughed with him as he said, "That’s a good one, Ken!"

Kwon, who was irritated with a vein throb on her right cheek, suddenly slapped Ken’s left cheek with her right hand and the two stopped laughing.

"Can you even consider that as a slap?", Ken asked ominously as he suddenly slapped Kwon with Atsushi looking nervous.

"I have to go to my next class. Good luck of what you two are doing!", Atsushi said as he ran away from the room in a rush, but Ken ignored him and slapped Kwon again in anger.

Ken sighed in relief as he wore a wicked smile, "I feel so much better now. It’s your fault for attacking me for no reason." He focused his attention to Kwon as he saw her smiling with a content looked on her face. "Why are you smiling?"

Kwon pleaded as she blushed and smiled, "Please go on. Finally, someone did it instead of me. It’s more enjoyable!"

"Are you a masochist?", Ken asked in a straight face.

"Are you a sadist?", Kwon asked in a straight face.

Both replied in unison, "Yes."

Ken instantly asked, "Do you want to join our team? I’ll explain later after we meet everyone. Recently, we have three…"

"...and four if I join. yes, I want to join, but on one condition", Kwon interrupted.

"What?"

Kwon said, "Please hurt me more when I join…"

Ken replied in a straight face, "I will." He then thought to himself, "You’ll be hurt when battle comes, anyway." He said to Kwon in a welcoming tone, "Welcome to my team, Kwon-san."

Ken lent his right hand for a handshake and Kwon accepted the offer, but Ken crushed her right hand.

"Good thing it wasn’t my dominant hand", Kwon said with a smile like nothing happened.

When the clock struck and it was time for their dismissal, on the rooftop, all of the four students were standing still in silence as they faced each other.

"Everyone, we have a new member. Meet, Kwon Young-soo-san. Kwon-san, this is Kobayashi Sabrina and Hyun Atsushi", Ken said as he introduced everyone one by one.

Young-soo said in a sassy manner, "Eh? They’re just common people."

"Don’t you dare give us a foul mouth, you rich b*tch!", Atsushi yelled out of nowhere in anger.

"Now, now. Calm down, you two. Anyway, you can just call me Sabrina and I’m no common person. I’m a national model", Sabrina said in a calm manner.

Young-soo let out a surprised reaction, "Wha—?!" She then cleared her throat and said, "Anyway, you can call me Young-soo. That includes with everyone of course, especially Ken-chan."

Sabrina and Atsushi exclaimed in surprise together, “'Ken-chan'!?”

Ken complained in a flustered way, "Huh? You could just call me Ken, you know. It’s kinda weird for me to be called like this."

"Anyway, how did you keep on coming up here? The rooftop is supposed to be lock and off-limits, you know", Atsushi interrupted and asked.

"Oh… It’s because I stole the key to unlock it", Ken casually replied with a straight face.

Atsushi awkwardly said in sweat, "That’s pretty straightforward for you to say it, Ken."

Sabrina asked questions one after the other in a high voice, "Anyway, how did you made her join the group? Did you explain everything to her? Is she not weirded out by the truth at all?"

Ken replied, "Just calm down, model-san. We just had a condition. That’s all."

Sabrina asked, "What condition?"

"Hurt her, entertaining. She gets hurt, satisfied. It’s a win-win situation for a sadist and masochist." Red aura began to emit around him as he smiled. "Right, Young-soo?"

Young-soo smiled as she asked, "Shall we write a schedule for it, then?" She showed a calendar that she took from inside her vest, "I brought a calendar with me."

"Eh?", Sabrina reacted awkwardly.

"Right, Atsushi", Ken calmy called.

"Hmm?"

Ken asked as he reminisced the scene, "How did you and Sabrina came up here last time anyway? It was lock."

Atsushi explained as he reminisced the demonstration of him doing the said actions, “Oh, that. I don’t want to get caught by the president, so I didn’t use the key but tied Sabrina on my back and I climbed up the wall instead. Ahh! It was so hard!”

Ken pointed the rope that was placed on the floor from the flashback, “So that’s why there was a rope on the floor!”

Outside abandoned classroom, all of them were standing in front of the classroom’s door as Sabrina began to wonder,

“What are we doing here?”

Ken said in a confident expression, “I plan us to form a club. Does anyone object?”

All of them except Ken were murmuring with each other as Ken looked weirdly confident in front of them.

All Except Ken asked in unison, “What for?”

Ken explained elaborately, “Since not all of us are classmates, the club is the only way for us to meet ‘cause I’m pretty busy after class, Sabrina with the modelling, Atsushi comes home early and Young-soo…” Young-soo smiles as he continued with a straight face. “…I don’t know. Something.” Young-soo looked dejected in a blink of an eye. “And besides, we need to start training for whatever’s gonna happen. You guys still sure of joining, no matter how dangerous it might be?”

Sabrina said with a smile, “Why are you hesitating now, after coming this far? If we don’t want to join, we wouldn’t have accepted your suspicious offer in the first place.”

All except Ken smiled as Ken’s eyes widened in awe.

Ken said with his cheeks turned red, “JUST DON’T BLAME ME IF YOU MIGHT DIE EARLY.

“Oh yeah. how about a martial arts club, then? It would be a great club for training our bodies”, Sabrina suggested.

Young-soo agreed as she counted with her finger from her left hand, “Yeah. Since there’s a Kendo, Archer, and a Ninja club already.”

Ken and Sabrina asked awkwardly, “Huh? Ninja club?”

“I know. Commoners have no taste, but I agree with forming our martial arts club”, Young-soo complained as she eye-rolled then agreed.

“Anyway, you haven’t answered me yet. What are we doing here? Again”, Sabrina repeated what she asked earlier.

“Right. This’ll be our new club room after the club will be accepted by the teacher”, Ken casually replied as they all went inside the room and saw the messy objects cluttering around with all the dust.

“We should probably clean it up first. I’ll submit our club’s form first. BRB!”, Sabrina said as she slowly walked back towards the door and ran out of the room.

Young-soo with her eyes widen in surprise, “She ditched us…”

“I know”, Ken with a straight face and his eyes were half closed.

Young-soo growled with a vein throb on her forehead, “That little…” She faced Ken and suggested calmly, “Anyway, when our club has been accepted, I’ll pay for the renovations so this would be fitting for martial arts.”

“Thanks. I’m counting on you”, Ken smiled sincerely.

“Oh, yeah. Where’s that weird boy who’s been silent all this time?”, Young-soo asked as she looked around her surroundings in which Atsushi disappeared from the room.

“Sh*t! He bailed on us”, Ken angrily said as he clicked his tongue.

At a men’s CR somewhere in the campus, Atsushi was facing in front of a mirror as he sighed deeply with a sad look on his face.

As secrets began to unfold, these students, who unknowingly received such power that they couldn’t comprehend, would experience great trials that they may not be able to handle for such a young age. They would soon be burdened with something greater than themselves and endure all the challenges and pain along the way to come out on top victorious.
