The time is 9:23 PM on a Wednesday. Your name is Samurai Summers. You are currently shut up in your heavily postered bedroom, lying atop your official Hajime no Ippo bedspread and staring at your graded paper. To say that today hasn’t been your day would be an understatement.

You woke up late for school and had to skip breakfast because your dad passed out on the couch completely hammered at 4 AM, leaving you and your little brother alone. You weren’t the cool kind of late, where you can rush to school with some toast hanging out of your mouth and burst into your classroom to the amusement of yours peers, but the kind of late that you shuffle into school three hours later than you should have and then no one really cares except for your teacher who gives you a detention on a weekend.

During lunch - which you eat on the rooftop because it’s cool - you ended up in an argument with your only good friend, Bokeh Serizawa, and when she left you got so angry that you threw your fast food off the roof and cried about it. After, you ended up getting a horrible grade on your essay for History C and ended up getting told by the stupid teacher that you were at a super high risk of having to repeat a year and she was worried about you. What a bitch. You concluded your school day with a shitty volleyball practice and walked home in the rain because your dad forgot to pick you up again.

What is likely much to other people’s surprise, despite how cool and hot headed and fight-y and protagonist-y you are, you cry about stuff a lot and feel the incessant need to do something.

>do your homework. Be strong for your little brother.

You decide to do your homework - you need to be strong for Ronin. Even if you really, really, really, really hate basic algebra - you’ll at least try your best. And you’ll do it with a smile, just like a real Shounen protagonist! Ripping open your already nearly broken and utterly unorganized binder, you spend a few minutes digging through the junk already stuffed inside it before finding your homework - basic, bottom-of-the-bin problems that an elementary schooler would be able to solve with some work. You stare at them blankly..

Oh man. It’s been, like, six minutes and you’re already lost in the sauce. Staring at the numbers and letters in front of you, you find yourself growing gradually more and more frustrated. Not in the way that amps you up and makes you want to beat it, but in a way that you’re getting tired and bored and upset and just want to go to sleep already. God, this sucks. This suuucks. Who decided that numbers and letters even need to go together? Who the fuck does Light Yagami do this sort of stuff? Your eyes begin to slowly drift toward your shelf of manga-..

You’re sure that Ronin wouldn’t mind if you re-read the Perfect Cell Saga-..

>Read some. Just a little. You’re sure nothing of note will happen.
>Stay strong, for Ronin..! Finish your homework, even knowing you’ll likely end up staying up late and coming in late for school tomorrow.
>Forget the homework. Just go to sleep now so you can wake up early tomorrow and finish it..! You’re sure you can definitely pull that off..

>>3531635

Let's be real guys. The path to success is finding some nerd to beat up and copy off.

>>3531685
But that's not what a hero would do!

>>3531725
It's for the greater good. We let others handle the small stuff so we can handle the big stuff.

Besides, you think Goku wouldn't have copied off friends if he went to school?

>>3531735
Placing their needs above the rest and trouble making in general is what a villain would do! Saying that it is for a greater good doesn't justify evil-doing, and even if you actually pull off that great deed then you'll just be branded as 'redeemed villain', not a hero! And you also know that those don't actually get to live long.

>Stay strong, for Ronin..! Finish your homework, even knowing you’ll likely end up staying up late and coming in late for school tomorrow.

You decide to stay strong - after all, what else would a totally cool shounen protagonist do? You focus solely on your homework and get to totally grinding it down with newly refreshed spirit, whittling away at the problems and coming to a gradual finish a few hours later..! An utterly mentally and physically taxing journey for you, you’re still pretty sure you got a good chunk of the problems wrong, but still - it’s better than not doing any of them, right? Crawling back into your bed, you come to easily pass out atop Ippo’s face..

...

You wake up drooling and with a bitter taste in your mouth. Your homework is satisfactorily complete. Eyes gradually drifting to your alarm clock, you find that the current time is 7:50 AM. You have about ten minutes to eat breakfast, throw on your school clothes, and run to school. You blink before fully processing that you have about FIFTEEN MINUTES TO EAT BREAKFAST, THROW ON YOUR SCHOOL CLOTHES, AND RUN TO SCHOOL. Leaping out of bed, you begin to panic, looking around your room wildly - what should you get to first?

>Throw on your uniform and run to school RIGHT NOW. You’re guaranteed to make it on time!
>Shower, food, and head out. You could probably just barely make it.. Right? There’s a chance.

>Make sure Ronin is good, first - he probably needs breakfast, right? It’s okay to be late if you take care of your little brother, first.

You decide to take care of Ronin. Although he’s pretty good independently, he still isn’t great with tying his shoes and stuff. Rushing into his room, you practically burst through the door, howling and clapping your hands together. It’s dark and a few Gundam posters litter the walls.

“WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP-!” You yell, clapping your hands together and swiping him out of bed. You easily sling him over your shoulder and march over to his cabinet, digging around for his uniform - although your little brother looks like a walking ball of fuzzy hair, you love him all the same.

…

After making a sandwich and plopping it right onto the table for him to eat without a plate, you enjoy a spirited conversation with him about shounen anime, really. He doesn’t seem to really get it, but he enjoys listening to you talk about it all the same. You’re late, but you feel like Ronin looks up to you even more now. You really do feel like a good big sister now! Patting your little brother on the shoulder, you tuck him under your arm with his backpack and place him outside, gently - his middleschool is pretty close.

You’re about five minutes past the end of homeroom, and classes should be starting now.

By channelling all of your very fierce energy into a brisk jog (can’t run to keep your uniform kempt, of course) you manage to just barely make it within five minutes, cutting the twenty minute walk down exponentially! You’re getting pretty fast. After a long journey drawing lots of disappointing stares from nearby pedestrians, you burst into Nomaru High School, still panting for breath.

Creeping into the halls, they seem pretty empty. You’ll probably be able to make it in time for a cool, protagonist-y lateness instead of a stupid, lame lateness. The halls around you are empty, save for a slight, short girl with white hair standing in the center of the hall. She has what appears to be a map in her hands and is glancing around at the tall doors around her with a bit of panic in her step, occasionally gingerly edging toward them before shaking her head.

“Hey! You need help!?” You ask a bit too loudly with a wide grin, slinging your arm around the girl’s shoulders. Her knees seem to almost buckle underneath you as she let out a small shriek, instantly cringing from your touch. “Didja forget to do your homework or something?
“I-I-I-.. Uhm-.. I-.. sorry..” She stumbles over her words, playing with her hands incessantly and eyes locked with the floor. “I-I just, I just-.. transferred, and.. I don’t really know, how to, uhm- I need to get to this classroom, and-.. I’m already running late..”
“Man, you’re really bad at talking, huh?” You laugh, grabbing the map from her hands. Examining it, you find - she’s actually transferring into YOUR classroom! You clap her on the back again and she begins to shake again. “Hey, look at this! That’s my class - we’re gonna be classmates! Name’s Samurai Summers.” You stick your hand out proudly.
She takes it slowly and hesitantly. “Y-you- you can just call me-.. It’s.. just call me..”
“You can introduce it to the class.” You shrug, marching on over to the classroom.

>Burst into the classroom with the girl tucked under your arm and proudly announce your arrivals.

“So-um.. Where you from, bad-talker?” You glance over your shoulder at the girl shuffling behind you. “You made any friends yet?”
“I-I’m just from Shin Detroit. I just went to-.. uh-, another highschool before going here. My parents pulled me out when they f-found out how I was being treated..” She shook her head. “A-and, I haven’t made any f-friends y-”
“Oh! We’re here.” You cut her off as you swing the door open wide, making way for the timid girl.

…

After explaining to your teacher that you, in fact, were kindly helping the new girl find her way to class, you managed to get off scot-free! Now, you can totally spend that time efficiently by playing Super Smash Bros. Melee or something. Sidling into your seat in the back, you watch as the shy girl takes to the front of the classroom.
“M-my-my.. name is, Catastro-astrovania, Strifaust-Morituros.. IX..” She speaks weirdly, her voice speeding up and slowing down at off points. The rest of the class doesn’t seem to care too much, particularly the boys. You hadn’t noticed it before - perhaps because of how utterly small she seemed to shrink - but she was kind of pretty. She bows. “I like- I like.. reading.. I-I’m looking forward to making friends with all of you.”

…

Class is for the most part, uneventful. Although “Catastrovania Strifaust.. Whatever” made for a nice change of pace, not much seems to have actually changed save for the amount of eyes focused on the new girl. You find yourself growing bored. You glance to the manga Great Teacher Onizuka held in your desk.

You decide to try making friends with this new girl! She seems kind of shy, so might as well try bridging the gap between the two of you, right? Especially since you got in a fight with like, your only other good friend, this’ll be great. Ripping some notebook paper out discreetly, you get to doodling Josuke as kind of like, a way to bridge the gap between the two of you before passing it across.

..

A few minutes later, much to your excitement, the sea of students between the two of you spits out a response! The paper is folded and bit crumpled, but it looks like the new girl is into stuff for adults? She must be super mature and serious about this sort of stuff, even if she is kind of quiet. Maybe you’ll talk to her more during lunch..?

>Not like History is actually important. Reading a little is helpful for learning, right?

History, being canonically the WORST subject of all - who the hell wants to read about dead guys? - you decide to spend this time doing something efficient, like reading a book you already read! Opening the manga, you begin the process. It’s typically something almost therapeutic for you - a way for you to draw yourself out of the muddied hell of numbers and whatever else school is.

Something seems a little.. off, though. You feel a growing pressure in your head - it feels a little like a pointy headache..?

“U-uh-.. Mr. Pembroke-..? Can I- can I go to the bathroom?” You groan. The pain is starting to sharpen.
The teacher rolls his eyes. “May I, Samurai.”

You take that as a yes.

Entering the bathroom, you find that much to your relief, it’s empty. You’re unsure of what the fuck is happening at the moment, but it’s not a pleasant feeling. You decide to wait until the feeling passes, peering into the bathroom mirror, you find yourself facing an utter mess.

A horn seems to be growing on the forehead of the utter mess, too.

You decide that, in such a confusing situation, punching your forehead growth would be the best course of action. You give it a quick bop - unsurprisingly, it hurts you. You swear before deciding that in such a situation, the best course of action would be to suplex the escaping growth. Leaning over the counter, you wrap your hands around your own hand, and in a deft motion-

You wake up to a ringing in your ears, your face flat against the tiled bathroom floor. You don't know how you suplexed something growing out of your head, but you tried your best. You slowly raise your head, gingerly rubbing at a slick forehead. Seems like you banged your head against the counter pretty bad. Your phone is ringing in your schoolbag. You hear a knocking from the door - sounds like Catastrovania is asking if you’re okay..? And of course, the little cat thing nearby seems to be pretty confused about the situation.

It is now dawning on you that the cat should probably not be there.

Ignoring the call on your phone, you stumble to the door, trying your best to wipe the blood away on your face and failing miserably. You gently - and slickly, slide open the door, an arm rested against the frame and a cocky smile smeared across your bloody features.

“Hey, C-” Your very cool words are cut off with a sharp squeak of surprise from the shorter girl in front of you.
“Y-your face-.. What-.. What happened? You’re bleeding..” She mumbles, taking a step back from you. Catastrovania seems to be in shock and overlooking the brain-birth cat at your feet. “Um, Mr. Pembroke told me to get you, b-because you were k-kind of taking a while-.. we should get you to the nurse, right..? What happened?”

“U-uh-.. A weird horn came from my head and I tried to suplex it and I busted my forehead open and then a cat came out.” You quickly rattle off, sweating extremely noticeably. “Please don’t tell Mr. Pembroke.”
“A-a what? What are you talking ab-..” Cat’s words catch in her throat as she steps into the bathroom, the small cat in front of her standing proudly. “...”

You stand behind her awkwardly, the small cat walking about the tiled floor and occasionally mewing.

“W-what did you do? What the h-hell is that..?” Catastrovania seems to be in noticeable shock about the situation. Whatever happened.
“I was, uh-.. Reading some, like, literature stuff, and I got a headache, so I went to the bathroom, and then a thing started growing out of my head, and then I tried to beat it up, and I smashed my head, so that’s basically about it.” You count the events on your fingers absentmindedly.

“.. Wh-what are we gonna do about it?”

“Uh, hold on. Wait a minute. I’m getting a call.” You glance to your schoolbag, digging the garbage flip phone from the depths of crumpled, poorly graded papers and disheveled books. “Just watch the cat thing, alright?”
“U-uh-.. Alright..?” She murmurs nervously, turning to the cat thing crawling around on the bathroom floor.

“New cat, who d-” Your words are cut of as what sounds almost like an automated voice rings out over the line. It’s heavily distorted.

The message cuts off with a beep, followed by a cute ending tone.

Catastrovania turns to you, the cat thing now crawling around by her feet. “W-what was that about?”

“Nothing. Let’s go to the school nurse before I bleed out, right?” You laugh, still a little shocked.
“U-uh. Yeah. Right.” She nods eagerly, opening the door for you. As you leave, you tuck the dumb little cat thing into your school bag along with you. You can basically just palm it’s head. It doesn’t seem to protest.

…

Following a short interaction with the school nurse and the light haired girl starting to tear up while getting worried for you, you end up getting your massive cut bandaged up! Good thing you gave yourself a head injury, because you’re basically excused from school for the rest of the day. Severe head injuries are you forte.

Electing to remain within the school sick room, you toy around with the cat thing for a little bit. It seems to trot around and stick pretty close to you. You haven’t really seen any “powerful ability” demonstrations as mentioned by the phone, but it definitely seems to prefer to stick closely to you. You think it’s on par with like, a houseplant in terms of smarts, so you figure it’s appropriate for you.

After spending an uneventful and otherwise boring day with the cat- the final bell for school rings, allowing you some freedom.

>Find Catastrovania. Maybe try to hang with her and figure out this dumb cat thing.

Following your little internment in the fever-ridden school hospital, you figure that while your only OTHER friend is kind of upset with you, you’ll talk to one of the few people that you can actually speak to. The process of hunting Catastrovania Strifaust Morituros IX down is surprisingly simple, actually. You stalk through the halls, looking for dim corners and short benches that exude an aura of immense anxiety. You eventually locate the girl in her neatly pressed uniform alone on a bench - hunched down with her face tucked away in a notebook, writing something down with fervor and noticeably more relaxed. Catastrovania seems happiest alone with her scribblings.

Deciding the best course of action is to ruin that little moment of peace and quiet, you leap out right in front of her, sidling up along her on the bench and slinging your arm around the girl’s shoulder. “Hey, watch’a writing..?” You catch a brief glimpse of a cat-eared figure cloaked in an elaborate black gown before the girl immediately slams her notebook shut.
“N-nothing! It’s-.. nothing. Sorry. Just a qu- a s-story.” She stumbles over her words, tucking the sheet of papers away in her bag. “I-I’m glad your head isn’t injured badly, though. Did you do anything about the.. Y’know, the cat..?” She lowers her voice at the last bit.
You open your school bag. “Yeah, he’s right here.” You shoot back. The cat waves at Catastrovania, who noticeably scoots away from it. “I was thinkin’, right? You’re like, the only other person right now who knows I have this cat right now I think. So I was figurin’ maybe we could like, hang out and try to do cool stuff with it..?’

“W-what do you mean?” She frowns.

“We’re gonna train! Y’know. Like in anime.” You nod with a smug smile, crossing your arms. “I’m gonna figure out what this weird cat thing will do! And you’re gonna help me!” You pick up the cat nearby for emphasis, shaking him in front of Catastrovania. He feels like a marshmallow.
“U-uh.. alright.” She nods nervously. It seems that she’d much rather go home and post fictional stories on anonymous online forums, but you grab her arm and pull her alongside you as you step toward the exit - the smaller girl stumbling right along behind you.

…

After a relatively short jog to the river bank nearby - Catastrovania lagged behind noticeably and made the journey about eighteen minutes longer than it had to be - the two of you lie against the artificial river bank slope, staring up at the bridge between as the sun sets. You’d say that right now you’re experiencing a very cool anime moment.
“-as banned from free ham sandwich day.” You conclude your story, tucking your arms behind your back. “That was totally not fair.” To say you’d been trying to train up and figure the weird little cat out would be a lie. I mean - you’d kind of tugged him around a little and pressed on his head, but he didn’t really seem to transform or shoot lasers or whatever. Instead, the cat kind of just roamed around the bank idly while you told Catastrovania a cool story.
“.. O-oh. That’s rough.” Catastrovania nods toward you, only half listening. She seems pretty wrapped up in doodling in her notebook again and was only half listening to your cool story about free ham sandwich day. “Hey, uh-.. I should probably get home. I-I think my sister’s probably worried, and my parents are actually h-”

She fails to finish her sentence as the girl lets out a far more noticeably loud yelp than as per usual. Turning to face her, you find that an immense man holding your friend up by the hair forcibly - the shoulder length, scraggly hair framing his pale face masked any noticeable features. Draped in a dark overcoat, he cast an impressively large, looming figure in front of you. You immediately feel like this guy is a pervert.
“Hey, kid.” The man’s voice is oddly reedy and almost croaky, as if rarely used. “That Construct yours?” He nods over to the cat still tripping around in the grass of the bank. You feel an almost OMINOUS PRESENCE emanating from the man. “Or is it hers?”

“The cat’s mine.” You proudly respond, pointing a thumb at your chest. “And the only one that can pull her around by the hair is me!”
“Okay, grea-” The man’s words are sharply interrupted as you do a totally sick dropkick and land a shot in the stranger’s sternum. The tall man doubles over and releases Catastrovania, who immediately ducks behind you, quivering. He coughs up some blood as he glances up. You still can’t fully make out the features of his pale face.
“Great.” The man continues in a slightly strained voice. “That means we can get the fight going, 145.”

The man rips off his trenchcoat in a swift and smooth motion, revealing a rather unimpressive, almost skeletal build - he’s also only wearing underpants, to which Catastrovania immediately covers her eyes behind you and shrieks. You feel a slight urge to run away to the police while screaming about a pervert by the river, but for some reason, you feel like this guy is offering up a pretty good challenge for you.

Reaching into his off white boxers, the man removes a red strip of cloth from the stained undergarments - holding it proudly, he ties it around his forehead and under his greasy mop of light hair. Almost immediately, the man seems to swell in a way that makes you feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Biceps bulge and pectorals expand in such a way that you’re forced to close your eyes just like Cat.

By the time the transformation is done, the man in front of you cuts a far more impressive figure. Your cat thing seems similarly uncomfortable like all parties in this situation.

The man rolls his shoulder back, approaching you across the uneven slope of the river bank slowly. While he seems to be trying to look cool - and he probably would, considering the warm afternoon light and his impressive size - the steep angle of the bank forces him to walk slowly and awkwardly, ruining the whole look. He does seem to be a little more comfortable in this form than the previously malnourished look he had prior. You take a few steps back as he approaches, keeping your fists up as your shorter classmate trembles behind you.

“Been a while since I met another Constructor. Been keeping track of the website, though, and it was just my luck that I could track someone who just popped up - and high in the rankings, too. Shounen Construct, right?” His walk, although wide and imposing, is very deliberate. And for some reason, as he approaches, he seems to constantly bounce in place like an animation or something. “We aren’t too different. I played so many fighting games that I pulled this headband outta my forehead one day and could beat anyone who played me - in Darkstalkers or real life. Shounen’s all about fights, right? Maybe it was fate we’d meet here.”

“It’s actually about friends..! I literally don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you’re offering a challenge..!” You spit out a cheesy line, excited for the prospect of a challenge. This is absolutely what Goku would do. Pulling back, you attempt to punch the man in the head and-.. He reads it, snatching your punching arm and easily swinging the momentum of your hook into tossing you down the river bank like a ragdoll. You tumble, groaning farther down the slope as Catastrovania quickly follows you, clutching your cat in her hands.

“I’m not gonna beat up some kids. Just hand over your cat, I can squish it’s head, and everything goes back to normal for you. No more worrying about Constructs.” He offers, now standing above you. Unfortunately, this guy is an asshole and threw you down a slope, and you are now fucking angry at him.

“N-not gonna do that. The cat’s mine.” You manage, picking yourself up slowly. Rubbing the dirt from your shirt and slowly lifting your fists, rolling your shoulders back, the cat thing nearby claps his hands together and seems to cheer you on while in Catastrovania’s arms. For some reason, you feel EXPONENTIALLY stronger with his support - you feel like you might have a chance.

>Just fucking charge this guy and beat his head. Go for the bandana, since that’s what seems to be powering him up.

You decide that in this kind of situation - fighting some powered up, greasy haired otaku on the bank of a river while receiving an exponential boost in power from the weird cat thing that popped out of your forehead earlier in the day - the only natural thing to do is to punch him in the head. You feel amped up. You're the underdog in this situation. The ideal shounen protagonist. Your friends are cheering you on! You’re fighting on the side of justice against some weird pumped up flasher perv! Taking a breath, you feel your own endurance and energy climbing up gradually. You’re not sure if it’s the cat’s work or yourself at this point.

Moving into a running leap, you find your surroundings slowing down as you take only a single step. The river nearby seems to stretch and blur. The breeze seems to halt. Catastrovania’s nervous mumbles grow even more drawn out than usual. With only a single bound, you push forward and tackle the wall of FIGHTING GAME KNOWLEDGE ahead of you with any and all of the reserve strength left in your first year body. The man does not budge. Rather, you do, in fact, manage to twist your hips into such a position that you can lock your thighs around the guy’s head as you try to pull the bandana from beneath his sweaty mop.

Ignoring the fact that the man probably enjoys the position you’ve forced him in, you still can’t get that bandana off - knots are too complex! The man wraps a bruised fist around your ankle - he’s definitely about to try to throw you off.

>Rolled 59 (1d100)

After a brief strike of brilliance - a rarity for someone of your intellectual persuasion - you realize that having gotten a good grip around the man’s headband, you can pull it off! He seems to realize this a bit quicker than you - as he wraps a hand around your ankle to fling you down the slope, you manage to tug the headbang along with you. He’s successful in his toss and you hit the rolling slope hard, busting up your knee and almost certainly breaking something. The momentum of the toss combined with your IRON GRIP, however, results in the headband sliding off his head smoothly.

As you tumble down the slope, you manage to catch and steady yourself to catch a glimpse of the man in front of you shrinking rapidly. It’s kind of a gross looking process - steam hissing from his pores as his body seems to almost crumple in on itself like a soda can. Catastrovania still clutches your weird dumb cat thing on the sideline, a look of disgust, relief, and utter confusion twisting her features as the man becomes skeletal. The stranger seems at first in shock - but it quickly turns to a tense uneasiness, catching sight of you gripping the black headband at your side.

“.. Great job. You won your first Construct fight! Wonderful.” Although his voice seems to be almost relaxed, there’s a hint of strained worry underscoring his words. “Just hand over my Construct and I’ll go home now.”

>Tear it up in front of this loser. You wanna rank up, don’t you?
>Toss it to him! This guy looks pretty beaten up. And if he tries to put it on you could probably just tackle him before he does.
>Put it on yourself and throw this guy into the river with your NEW MUSCLES.

>put it on our cat buddy

You decide to put the little headband on our cat buddy. Unfortunately, the cat’s head is a bit too marshmallowy and odd-shaped to properly fit the bandana around, but it works as a very cool looking scarf-type thing. He already looks cooler with it on. Although, he doesn’t seem to be activating whatever power made that weirdo stranger buff.

“Yeah, yeah, great, kid. Very funny. Now hand it over.” The man grows a little bit more forceful, taking another step toward you. He extends one hand out for the bandana, another hand on his boxers to them up following their rapid stretching of his transformation. “I got a tourney I need to get to.”
“A t-tourney?” Catastrovania asks, still a healthy distance from the stranger.
“A fighting game tourney. Never heard of me? Fisticuffs Joe (first name Fisticuffs last name Joe)? Just- hand over the Construct already.” Fisticuffs Joe (first name Fisticuffs last name Joe) is getting real antsy.

>This nearly naked stranger that tried to fling me into the river seems pretty trustworthy, yeah!

>Run away with Catastrovania and your cat!
>Punch this guy and then WALK away.

Don't feel like destroying it but don't feel like giving it to him either

Defeat equals friendship, right?

>>3552922
But wait, shouldn't we have a higher rank than him? I thought you only gained rank from beating people with a higher rank than your own.

>>3552993
correct, i'm thinking that summers just doesn't know what he's talking about.

>>3552922
>Punch this guy and then WALK away.

>>3552922
cant see any reason why we shouldn't keep it

Yeah! Shounen forgiveness!

>>3552922
Fuck him up. Break his thumbs.

>>3552922
>catastrovania can try the headband, if it does not work then we will demand that the very mean and rude man give a huge apology for being rude, if he comes with an apology then he can give us an offering of maybe helpfull infomation and a pledge to never do us harm in return for getting back his headband, the man seems like an bully and an asshole but we can probably reform him by beating him up from time to time.

[Rolled to tie break.]

“Yeah? You want it back?” You scoff, waving the fluttering red band around in the air like a trophy. The man seems to reach out to it half-heartedly. “You want it back so bad, you can have it, weirdo.”
“No-!” Grabbing both ends of the band, you pull the cloth apart in a simple motion - tearing the Construct in two. Fisticuffs Joe (first name Fisticuffs last name Joe) stares on in shock. Both pieces gently fall to the ground as the gaunt man falls to his knees, his fists clenched and head bowed. “That wasn’t- you didn’t have to do that.. You were a higher rank than me..” He groans through gritted teeth.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” You shrug, striding away from the fallen mess of a man as he shudders on the ground behind you. You don’t bother looking him in the eyes. “Go and tell your Construct friends or whatever not to mess with Samurai Summers ever again.”
“U-uhm-.. s-sorry. About your h-headband, or C-Construct, I guess..” Catastrovania nods to the man as she steps around him, holding the cat tight to her chest as she trots along after you. Fisticuffs Joe (first name Fisticuffs last name Joe) remains on the ground after having gotten beaten up by a teenage girl.

“-totally sick, right? Yeah, I just kind of did this cool thing I saw in like, One Piece once, I think Sanji did it. That guy got TOTALLY destroyed!” You continue through a mouthful of fries, cheeseburger, and chocolate milkshake, all the while stuffing even more food into your mouth. The McDonalds patrons look on horrified. “I just went, like, kcccchk-, and then the guy was definitely gonna cry or some shit. It was so fuckin’ cool.”

Following beating the SHIT out of Fisticuffs Joe (first name Fisticuffs last name Joe), you figured that you’d go out for something to eat with your new cool friend who you saved from a pervert at the McDonalds nearby! You were almost banned after that one time you ordered a gross amount of food and then ate so much you threw up a little on an elderly patron, but you managed to convince the manager that it wasn’t your fault, so you’re all good. You continue to dig into yet another massive order as Catastrovania, sitting across from you, stares uncomfortably.

“U-uhm, I know. I was.. I was there.” Catastrovania nods across from you, biting at a small french fry occasionally whilst you only continue to scarf down a completely excessive order and kind of half paying attention. “It was pretty cool, y-yeah. I’m glad you were there. I think, uh- uh.. You’re pretty cool, Samurai.”
“U-uh-.. Cool. Cool.” You nod nervously, feeling confused in a weird way. “Anyway-.. Uh, you’re gonna be good, even with all this, like, Construct stuff? People are probably gonna be coming after me to try to take my big rank or whatever. And I’m probably gonna be finding people myself..! Y’know. Like, getting higher in rank and stuff. Like that Fisticuffs Joe (first name Fisticuffs last name Joe) guy. It’s probably suuuper dangerous.”
“I-I’ll be fine. It’s k-kind of like being in a manga or something.” She smiles nervously. “And about the Construct stuff.. Wh-what are you gonna name yours? You should probably give it a name, right?” The cat thing sticks his head out of your bag of McDonalds.
“Oh, uh, yeah. I’ll name it-..”

To be fair item constructs aren't considered alive other than that just don't think too hard about it there needed to be a reason for BL to stay #1

>>3557707
I mentioned this a long time ago, I guess it's now confirmed.

>>3557817
Samurai specificly states she defeated some romance construct. She is literally a pissed off lesbian who goes around killing the waifus of sad nerds who read so much manga they get a pity GF from God.

>>3557913
I mean that's basically every constructor so...

>>3558003
not everyone is competing, look at BL

>>3558165
How can you compete to raise your rank when you're already the highest rank there is?

>>3558165
I said basically and I meant everyone competing.

>>3557301
Pusspuss. Nekojin. Catty McCatFace.

>>3557301
Is canon truly inevitable?

“Hmmm.. Pusspuss. N-no, wait, that’s dumb. Catty McCatFace. Uhm, Kattaclysm. Actually-.. Behemoth.” You tap at your chin, pondering the cat, who similarly pats at his own chin. “.. Nekama..! No, uh.. Nek. Neko Neko Nee. Neko. Nek.o. K.O like knock-out. Yeah. That one!” You nod proudly.
“Nek.o. Uh-.. okay! That’s good.” Your new friend smiles warmly. “Well, uhm- good luck, Sam, and, uh-.. Nek.o.” Nek.o salutes Catastrovania proudly. He’ll be doing his best.

Kicking back in your chair at McDonalds and staring up at the ceiling, you come to realize - the first arc of your EPIC SHOUNEN STORY is over with. You have a long way to go before you get to the number one rank and a whole bunch of shounen to read and ton of losers to beat up. With the aid of your new friends, the future is looking bright for you!
