It was lunchtime of the first day of school, and Takeru was already isolated, as his classmates refused to approach him, in one part because of glare and general yankee look, but what caused the others to not approach him was...
"*Whisper* Do you think he's a chunni?"
"*Whisper* He definitely is, he can't possibly look like that without hair dye and contact lenses"
"*Whisper* Do you think he's part of that group of weirdos that our seniors warned us about?"
"*Whisper* I don't think so, that group was said to be made out of seniors"
His naturally eye-catching and chunni-like appearance made all his classmates think that he had 8th grader's syndrome, and his delinquent attitude didn't help make them think otherwise. But for Takeru, his current situation was quite to his liking, since because of his siblings and his short fuze, he disliked talking to people nor did he have the patience to do so
But in a way similar to that of his siblings who were chunni because of their appearance, Takeru's appearance was the perfect chunni magnet, and that meant that he would sooner or later attract the attention of the three weirdos of the school
*Bam*
Takeru's classroom door was opened with a bang, and three very handsome guys walked in perfect coordination as they began their introduction
"Where there is order!..."
"There is chaos..."
"And us!"
"Lord of the eternal blizzard and emeralds of life, Okamura Kenzo at your service!"
"Lord of the golden subjugation and azure order, Inaba Kyo degozaru"
"Lord of the scarlet eyes of the darkest destruction, Hasegawa Kazuo. That's who I am!"
" " "And we are the Katastrophe lords!" " "
The three made a coordinated pose as they introduced themselves, while the sounds of thunderstorms could be heard, thanks to the help of Ichiro who agreed to play the thunder sfx from his phone for them, as he kept his usual unbreakable and indecipherable smile
*Bruuum Bruuuum Bruuum* "..."
"..." *Clapping while keeping a pokerface*
While Yasu clapped at the three for their 'stylish' introduction
"..." (x29)
As for all of Takeru's classmates, they stayed silent with confused faces at the sudden and very cringeworthy introduction of those three Chunni seniors
"..."
A dramatic silence dominated the classroom, as no one knew what to do. Then the silence was broken by the three Chunni seniors
"Be grateful, our lost brethren because we came to save thee from thee amnesia!"
"We heard the whispers carried by the wind (gossip), and so we came to greet you"
"Now rise, and join our ranks as the fourth Katastrophic lord!"
The three-pointed right towards Takeru who was still frozen in place while everyone else turned their heads to look at Takeru...
"..." (x33)
Who was making a despairing and confused face as he accidentally dropped his chopsticks due to the shock of seeing those chunnis pointing right towards him. So, Takeru without any other choice got up from his chair and... Dashed away
"He's running away"
"He is running away"
"Should we go after him?"
"I don't know... Hirano-san, was it?"
"Hirano Ichiro, that's my name. If it's about whether or not you three should go after Takkun, the answer is yes. He has low stamina, so he'll soon get tired and be unable to run"
"Thanks for the information, loyal subject"
"Hai, hai. Anyways, make sure to be good friends with him, okay?"
" " "Of course!" " "
"Great, now I'll be returning to my classroom. Oh! I almost forgot you all need to make sure to properly lock both of Takkun's arms before anything else or else he'll punch you all in the face"
" " "Got it!" " "
And with that, Ichiro took his leave, while the three left Takeru's classroom in a hurry and they chased after him
A few minutes later
"Haa... Haa... Haa... Did I lose them?... Whew... ... ... Hm?"
Takeru who had run out of breath, had sighed in relief after he didn't see none of the three chunnis that were trying to recruit him forcibly. But soon after, he felt both of his arms being locked, by two of the three chunnis. Which caused Takeru to show a shocked and surprised face
"LET GO OF ME!!! LET GO OF MEEEEEEE!!!"
Noticing that the two chunnis were trying to lock both of his arms, Takeru began trying to break free by force, which surprised Kenzo and Kyo when they had to put even more strength in their grip just to keep locking Takeru's arm, while Kazuo tried to approach Takeru from the front to grab both of his legs, but he was having a lot of trouble as Takeru was threatening him with kicks, very hard-hitting kicks
"Holy! This pipsqueak is strong!"
"I'm not a pipsqueak!"
Hearing Kenzo say that, only made Takeru angrier, to the point that he kicked Kenzo on the shin with full force
"Gah! Fucc! That hurt!"
"Let go of me!"
"We shall not! You're the fo- Ack! Stop kicking me! I'm doing my monologue!"
"I don't care! Just. Let. Go. Of. Me!"
Takeru then stomped Kenzo's right foot at full force
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! My toes!"
"Opening!"
"Huh? UWAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
Seeing that Takeru's attention was diverted for enough time, Kazuo made his move and grabbed both of Takeru's legs and lifted them, completely immobilizing Takeru as he didn't have a point of balance anymore
"..." (x4)
The four stayed silent, Takeru due to the partial confusion, while Kyo and Kazuo didn't know what to do next, as for Kenzo he was doing his best to hold his scream from the pain he was feeling
"So what's next?"
"I don't know, I wasn't expecting this to be this difficult, nor that we would get this far"
.
.
.
"And that's how our first meeting went like, so what do you think?"
"... ... ..."
When Kenzo finished telling how his first meeting with Takeru was, Yuriko, had fallen in silence as she made a thinking face. Without letting go of Takeru, who was now quiet with an embarrassed face from hearing about his embarrassing past
"Yu-chan? What's wrong for you to be so deep in your thoughts?"
"Cat..."
"Huh?"
"Takeru was just like an angry stray cat back then!"
"..." (x6)
Aki, Ayano, Kenzo, Kazuo, and Kyo all made confused faces when they heard Yuriko say that with a lot of confidence, while Takeru just got redder. They all stayed silent until Kenzo broke the silence
"I know, right! He was like those cats that you try to approach to pet, and they run away from you. And if you manage to grab them, they start scratching you all over the place"
"Yeah!... Haa... Now I want to see a photo of Takeru from back then"
"Huhuhu... Worry not, because I have exactly what you want"
"! Really!"
"?!"
"Yes!"
Kenzo then unlocked his phone and searched for a photo of Takeru after he got slightly used to hanging out with the three
"Look at this photo of the Slasher of the left golden eye during his training!"
"DELETE IT!!!"
.
.
.
Some weeks later
"So what do you guys want?"
It was the start of the after-school hours, and Takeru had come to the school outdoor courtyard just as his chunni friends had asked him to do so
"Ah! You finally came. Our enforcer, the Slasher of the left golden eye"
"Stop with that already, will you?"
"It's either that or Takkun"
"..."
Takeru began pouting his cheeks as he had a lot of trouble deciding which he hated the least, but he was unable to hate any less, either of his nicknames
"Okay, so as a rite of passage in becoming one of the lords..."
"I never agreed to it"
"We shall now... Gift you with the jacket of power!"
Kenzo then revealed a sukajan jacket with bright red petals and a golden Eastern dragon embroidery in the back. In a nutshell, it looked exactly like something a delinquent would wear if they could afford it
"..."
Takeru when he saw that jacket just stayed silent, but his mouth was trembling, because of his siblings, Takeru ended up developing a pretty unique taste for fashion. And right now he really wanted to have that jacket, but if he accepted it, it would mean that he would have to hang out with those chunnis even more
"By the way, this jacket is one of a kind, made with the best materials and handcrafted by the most skilled craftsmen in the market. If you accept it to join our ranks, it'll be all yours"
"..."
Takeru's defiance was slowly crumbling as he was starting to want the jacket even more
"And not only that, but it also comes with pants, a shirt, a blazer, and even a cap for more style"
"..."
Takeru continued his defiance... Until he immediately gave in to his desires and picked the jacket from Kenzo's hands. Takeru then immediately put on the jacket, and after doing so, he began showing a satisfied face
" " "..." " "
While Taker did that, Kazuo, Kyo, and Kenzo, each took a photo of him to commemorate the recruiting of Takeru into their chunni ranks
