In the entirety of this school's history, it was unprecedented for a club to be formed during the first week of school, let alone the fact it were made of just first years. So you're probably wondering how I became the president of said club. I'm not sure either, it just kind of happened.
***
News of the incident at lunch spread like wildfire and when class ended I was once again met with troublesome circumstances. All the fakes and suck ups surrounded me like vultures. I decided to weed out the gold diggers.
"I will not be handing out discounts just because we're classmates. Contribute to society by helping the economy."
A bunch of students let out disappointed murmurs and left, yet a few stayed. Most were scrawny guys but there were a few girls.
One of the boys spoke, "I don't want to overstep my boundaries but there's something we wish to ask of you."
They looked at each other and nodded then bowed at ninety degrees, "Please except us as your students, Sensei!"
"Sure."
"Please consider our favor... wait, did you just say yes?"
"I did, is that not what you wanted?"
"No! We were just shocked is all. Isn't that right guys?"
The rest nodded in agreement.
"So what is it you wanted me to do exactly?"
"We would like to start an after school club with you as the president."
"Alright, you don't mind if I invite my friend to join as well, do you?"
"Not at all!"
"I'll take care of the paperwork so everyone meet here after school tomorrow."
"Yes, Sensei!"
All perky, they left. I caught Quill as he was leaving.
"How do you make a club?"
"You have to submit a form indicating the people willing to join, what the club's objective is and who the president and vice president are. Why do you ask?"
I smiled devilishly, "Looks like i've got everything already. Let's go submit the form then."
I grabbed the back of Quill's uniform and started dragging him along.
"Huh?....huuuuuuhhhhhhhh!?"
***
The next day our club was approved but apparently there weren't enough rooms so our club was squeezed together with the Judo club in the dojo.
"What do you losers want?"
"We were told to share the dojo with the Judo team to participate in our club."
I bowed respectfully then continued, "We promise that we will not bother you in any way."
Everyone behind me bowed as well.
"Why should we let you?"
I raised my head, "This is getting nowhere, let me speak with the Judo club president."
"You insolent-"
His fist closed in on my face but someone called out.
"Enough!"
The fist laid in front of my face so close it was enough to make hair follicles stand. The student begrudgingly stepped aside and bowed to his sensei. The sensei came forward and greeted us. It was a beautiful girl with long black hair.
"For a foreign exchange student you have surprisingly good manners. Why have you come?"
"As I told your student, we have come here to participate in our club activities due to a shortage of rooms. Although I was planning to play it nice with you guys I don't want to anymore."
"Oh?"
"I challenge you to a sparring match. My fighting style against yours."
"Although that sounds interesting, there is no reason for me to accept."
"Then lets each make a wager."
Quill whispered to me, "Phoenix, this is a bad idea. She's known as the Serpent Queen. Her movements are abnormal just as a snake slithers."
"Quill, trust me on this."
He stared into my eyes and saw my determination.
"Fine, but if i'm right you're getting a scolding."
I turned back to the Serpent Queen.
"If you win, all of us will be the Judo club's servants for the rest of the year."
She smirked, "And if you win?"
"Everyone in the Judo club must join our club."
"Isn't that a wager in our favor?"
"Are you complaining about it?"
The Serpent Queen's smirk faded, "I accept your challenge. State your name. I am Haze Valor."
"Phoenix Wyvern."
Haze led me over to a standard Judo mat and we got prepared. One of her disciples acted as a referee.
"Fight!"
Quill wasn't kidding when he said she was like a snake. Her movements were rigid and weren't uniform. But movements like this aren't enough.
"Enhancement: Perception, Speed."
I watched Haze as she sped around the given area with movements normally untraceable by the naked eye.
"I can see you."
I watched as she came in for an attack but she quickly backed away. Her disciples looked unhappy.
"Sensei, why did you retreat?"
"Yeah you would have won!"
Haze looked furious, "Imbeciles, look at his leg!"
"She's right look!"
"If she continued, her leg would've broke!"
'She's good to see my movements although her disciples are quite unruly.'
Haze was deep in thought, 'He predicted my movements? That's impossible. Our difference in abilities are like heaven and earth. Can I win? Rather, can I survive?'
She decided, "I forfeit."
Everyone was in shock.
"There's no way he won!"
"That's right! He must've used some kind of dirty trick!"
Haze lost her temper, "Can't you idiots see that his ability far exceeds ours?! If you can't then what have you been doing all this time during training?!"
There was silence so I filled it, "You're master was right to forfeit. To recognize the difference between herself and I proves that she was indeed worthy of the title of sensei. Knowing when to surrender is vital in a battle between life and death. Though, that title of sensei is now mine."
All of the students remained silent. I continued, "As your new sensei I will give you two options."
The students perked up.
"Option one: Leave the club and continue Judo outside of school.
Option two: Swallow your pride and train under me, someone stronger than your former sensei."
Many students scoffed at my words and immediately left but a few remained behind, Including Haze. Soon as the last person left.
I smiled, "I welcome all fifteen of you, members old and new, to The Enhancement Arts club. Let's begin, shall we?"
