Chapter 9 - CHAPTER 9 SHAKING CATALYST

Flux's Mom – Flux, please… for me. Will you train yourself just a little? You've never trained a single day since you were born, right?

Flux – Ugh… okay, okay! I'll train myself now. Happy, fuckers?

("Fuckers" is directed at Hidori and Mike.) ( SNAP! – sudden shift in mood)

Hidori (thinking) – Okay… okay… just… please control yourself, Hidori. Don't lose it… haa… haa… haa… okay, okay, okay… ( HUFF HUFF – heavy breathing)

Hidori (takes deep breaths) – Alright, now please, can we start training?

Mike (with a dazzling smile and sparkling eyes) – Yeah! Yeah! Definitely, Mr. Sir God! ( SHINE! – sparkle effect)

Flux (flustered) – Blah, blah, blah… NOW, what training is someone like you—a FLICKLACTER—gonna give me?! (: ZING! – insult lands like a stab)

Mike, Hidori, even White – …? Flicklacter? (?!? – question marks pop up)

Flux's Mom (to everyone except White, though White can hear her anyway) – Actually… Flux makes up his own words that only he understands.

Everyone – Huh… so what does "Flicklacter" mean?

Flux – It means… someone who's so dumb that their brain has been replaced with pure muscle. Just a big, brainless hunk of meat—like you, Hidori. (SMACK! – insult hits hard)

Hidori – Ghhhhh… (GRRRR – rage building) (blasting with rage so intense that even White has to use his power from a distance to cool him down) (S WHOOSH – cold air burst)

— One minute later —

Hidori (forcing calm) – Okay… okay… we'll start with basic exercises first, alright? Push-ups, pull-ups, squats… whatever. I just want to see how capable you are. ( TAP TAP – adjusting gloves)

White – Good. That's exactly what I want—test him first.

Flux – So… first time I'm actually gonna get tired, huh? I guess this should be fun. ( GRIN! – cocky smile)
