Chapter 2: The Trouble Begins Part One

As Tatsumi finished writing up the rest of his school work, the school's bell began to ring, causing the entire class to shake violently. A drunk Najenda, passed out on her desk, fell right off with the rest off her booze knocked over and spilling on her head. Mine seemed to be having trouble standing but not as bad as Sheele, who was already on the ground, her butt raised high in the air. Lubbock happily, attempted to take a good look before being blocked by Leone, who was in the middle of cracking her knuckles, ready to cause to physical pain to the green haired boy.

After the third ring, the entire classroom stopped moving. Out in the hallway, the sounds of students moaning to get up echoed throughout the hallway. Complaints about lockers being knocked over and one poor girl who had her lunched crushed.

"Hey, Bulat?" Tatsumi asked, trying to regain his balance.

"Please, Tatsumi, I want you to call me bro or handsome." He winked, giving Tatsumi the shivers.

"Oh and I want him to call me his big sis!" Leone shouted, frightening Tatsumi even more.

"Er...well….b-bro?" Tatsumi asked.

Without any warning, Bulat jumped out of his desk with joy, flexing his muscles. Tatsumi swore he could almost feel Bulat's love smacking him across the face as the large man jumped back in his chair and readied himself for Tatsumi's question.

"I-I was wondering." Tatsumi began, feeling uncomfortable with Bulat's loving stare. "How is the bell able to shake the entire school."

"Bell?" Bulat questioned.

"You idiot, that's not a bell." Mine scolded Tatsumi. "Those are missiles!"

"Missiles?!" Tatsumi shouted in a panic.

Bulat placed a hand on Tatsumi's shoulders to calm him down.

"Don't worry, they're not aimed at us...unless she decides to destroy the school someday." He smiled casually, as if the thought of being blown to pieces didn't bother him.

Tatsumi, unable to grasp the situation Bulat had just given him, began to feel deathly pale before collapsing on his desk.

"Huh, Tatsumi?" Bulat said, shaking the terrified boy to wake him up.

"I got this!" Leone cheerfully said.

The busty woman then proceeded to place her chest on Tatsumi's head and began massaging his face with her breasts. It didn't take long for Tatsumi to bolt out from underneath, hiding behind Bulat for protection.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" He yelled.

"Aw, I thought you wanted to enjoy these lovelies again." Leone said in an innocent voice.

"Why would I?!" Tatsumi continued shouting. "You out my head between there for no reason to being with!"

"It's because you looked so adorable." Leone winked.

Tatsumi could tell he wasn't getting anywhere with her and decided it was best to change the conversation. However, before he could speak, Bulat seemed like he was having the time of his life after Tatsumi used him as protection.

"Uh…." Tatsumi was at a lost for words.

"It's best you just leave him now." A girl's voice said from behind him.

Tatsumi turned around to see Akame standing behind him. In her hands was a large box that had a nice aroma of food, mainly meat.

"You're Akame...right?" Tatsumi asked with Akame nodding.

"Anyway, you should hurry over to the cafeteria before lunch ends." She warned before walking off.

"Thanks…" Tatsumi said unsure what was wrong with Akame besides the fact she left 10 empty bowls on her desk. "Hey bro we should also….oh, that's right." Tatsumi remembered after seeing Bulat still in his daydream.


"So cool!" Tatsumi said in a wide-eyed amazement.

Not only was the outside of the school so impressive, but so was the lunchroom. All around, the tables were full of students talking, laughing and having a good time. Further back was a long line of students who were receiving the school's food, since they didn't bring a lunch. Closer to them, near the west wall, Tatsumi spotted the others from his class.

"Impressive, huh?" Leone smiled. "They say if you even yell it will be as if you were whispering."

"Seriously?" Tatsumi wondered.

"Anyway, let's go sit down. Did you bring your lunch?" Leone asked.

Tatsumi nodded his head as the two went over to sit at their table.

Mine and Sheele seemed to be sharing a piece of cake, Mine having to wipe Sheele's face and keep a hungry Akame at bay. Meanwhile, Chelsea seemed to be enjoying herself by placing hot sauce in Lubbock's soup without him noticing. The only two people not present at the table were Susanoo and Bulat who mentioned he had to help Najenda with something.

As Tatsumi and Leone arrived at the table, Leone quickly plopped down between Mine and Akame and motioned Tatsumi to sit next to her. However, as Tatsumi was about to sit down, Mine quickly pushed him away, knocking him on the ground.

"Hey, what was that for?!" Tatsumi angrily asked as the pink girl stood above him.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked, arms crossed.

"Sitting down to go eat lunch. What are you doing?!"

"Keeping runts like you from sitting at our table." Mine answered back with a scowl.

"What?"

"Just because your first day was in our class doesn't mean you have the right to eat with us." Mine said. "Runts like you should just sit on the floor and eat your meals quietly."

"Hey! I'm not a dog!" Tatsumi angrily barked back and received a grim slap from Mine.

"If you haven't been accepted by everyone in our class then you can't eat with us." Mine angrily said. "And I don't accept you!"

Before Tatsumi could say anything else, Chelsea stood up and walked over to Mine. A small grin on her face immediately told she was up to no good.

"Oh, is that so?" Chelsea asked an angry Mine.

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Mine retorted.

"Well, it's just, I recall a certain someone when they transferred here at the beginning of the year not being accepted by anyone." Chelsea smirked. "In fact, if I recall correctly, she was forced to eat outside by the dumpster."

Mine's face started to turn red from embarrassment and before she could think off anything to say, she quietly sat back down and continued to eat her lunch.

Surprised by how quickly Chelsea was able to subdue Mine, Tatsumi didn't realize being helped up by Chelsea.

"Come on, country bumpkin. I thought you'd be tougher than that." Chelsea said. "Oh well, it was fun getting to take down Mine like that." She looked at Mine, still silent and not bothering to look up from her food.

"Th-Thanks." Tatsumi said.

"Hey, no problem. But just know you owe me one." She smirked before walking away.

Tatsumi shrugged off the debt he was now in and sat down next to Leone and Akame. As he opened his lunch, Bulat soon arrived and sat down by Lubbock, just in time to witness Lubbock to drink his soup and quickly run out of the cafeteria, yelling for water.

"What just happened?" Bulat asked.

"I don't know." Chelsea said, sneakily disposing of the hot sauce bottle in her hand.

"Anyway, everyone I want you all to know that Ms. Najenda has informed me that the competition events are starting soon."

Leone began to groan while everyone else just sighed. Only Tatsumi was the only one unaware of what was going on.

"Um, competitions?" Tatsumi asked.

"Oh right, this is your first day but it's better you find out now." Bulat said. "Competitions are basically, in a sense, fighting tournaments held by our student council president. They can range from battle royals to dorms pitted against each other. Of course the dorm fights bring in more revenue for the school so we have few competitions for those but they tend to last longer."

"Why would the school host stuff like this?" Tatsumi asked.

"It's because the principal allows it." Akame answered. "He's being used, like a puppet, from the vice-principal."

"Then again, this school needs a lot of money every year so it makes sense for events like these." Chelsea said. "I just think we could do something more than fighting."

"We all do." Leone said.

"So there are dorms here then?" Tatsumi asked.

"What? You didn't know that?" Mine said. "Even the countryside should be aware of this school's dorms."

"Er well…." Tatsumi tried coming up with a response.

"The school dorms here tend to be very dangerous." Bulat said. "All the dorms are pitted against each other which causes hate amongst the students and the student council president uses that hate to host events like this. The most dangerous right now are the Jaegers and Night Raid."

"Be sure to stay clear away from Night Raid." Mine warned.

"Oh...uh thanks." Tatsumi said, unclear of why she was warning him.

"So in a sense, it's a war between dorms." Leone said. "But on the bright side, dorms are armed with more advanced weapons than your normal shinai sword or water gun."

"What could be more advance than that?" Tatsumi asked.

"Imperial Arms." Leone smiled.

"Imperial Arms?" Tatsumi questioned.

"Hey, Leone," Bulat whispered. "You can't tell him about that yet unless he wants to join."

"Oh, sorry." She smiled, scratching the back of her head.

Just before anymore questions could be answered, the sounds off the missiles going off shook the building, telling students it was time to head back to class.

"So Tatsumi, wanna join a dorm?" Leone suddenly asked as the two stood up.

"I'll have to think about that." Tatsumi said, remember about what he just learned.

"Anyway, I think it's best you know your way around school before learning anything else." Leone said as everyone else had taken off. "Oh, by the way, Akame stole your lunch. Ciao!"

Tatsumi, confused by what she said, looked at his lunch box to find it completely empty. Looking over at the door, he could see Akame snacking on his sandwich he had made for him.

"My...sandwich…" He said in disbelief, falling onto his hands and knees.

"Um, excuse me." A girl's voice said.

Tatsumi turned around to see a blonde girl standing behind him. She wore a long blue dress, unlike the rest of the students in the school and had a similar hair accessory as to Sheele's. In her hands was a plate of food, almost untouched.

"She must be one of the rich students who don't have to wear a uniform." Tatsumi thought to himself.

"Um...it sounds like you had your lunch stolen." The girl said awkwardly shy. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but….if you'd like...you could have my lunch."

"Oh no, I couldn't. It's my fault for letting it be taken." Tatsumi said pushing the food away from him.

"But, I wasn't feeling hungry at all but from the sounds of your stomach you are." The girl said, trying to persuade Tatsumi to take her lunch.

"But I couldn't from a complete stranger." Tatsumi said.

"Then how about I tell you my name and you tell me yours?" The girl suggested. "Then we won't be complete strangers."

Tatsumi took a moment to think over the girl's idea before nodding his head after his stomach growled.

Accepting the food, he wasted no time in chowing down on the plate he had been given.

"My names Tasumi." He said with a mouthful of food. "Wham's yoursm?"

The girl smiled as she began slowly walking away.

"It won't matter much to you." She replied.

Not knowing what she meant, Tatsumi began to feel his body becoming heavy, his eyes starting to close and before he knew it, he collapsed on the floor. The last image in his eyes were two men dressed in white suits coming to pick him up with the girl smiling devilishly at him.
