It was quite a nice morning at Neo-City as we heard towards the Vanguard Academy where various staffs and students are roaming around the area.
Inside the academy, we see Aikuro Mikisugi, Dr. Stylish and Miharu Nijino having a conversation in front of the doors of the faculty area when suddenly, the Scout ran past them with a panic look on his face as Shizuka Hiratsuka came out hot on his tail with a large paper fan in hand.
Meanwhile, we see Sakura Minamoto, Sakura Kinomoto and Sakura Oogami having a conversation in front of a row of lockers while Sanosuke Sagara and Scott Pilgrim looks at them in amusement. I mean... three girls named Sakura having a conversation? How is that not amusing?
At another row of lockers, we see Shino Aburame getting books from his locker when Kiba Inuzuka and Shoto Todoroki approaches him while we see Ezo Red Fox and Silver Fox having a conversation with Panne at another row of lockers. Meanwhile, we see Gerome, Gregor and Hisui Hearts having a conversation by the staircase when they quickly moves aside when Usopp slides down the stairs on a surfboard.
At one hallways of the academy, we see Hector Vanguard, Jr. walking around while eating a sandwich. When suddenly he felt sick, his face turning green while holding his stomach, he then quickly ran towards the closest bathroom to deal with his current dilemma. Unbeknownst to him, we see Rex Salazar, Jake Long and Randy Cunningham hiding behind a corner, laughing and giggling with Jake is holding a bottle of laxative.
After thirty minutes, Hector came out of the bathroom with a relieved look on his face. He then continues to walk forward when suddenly, Hunter Isaac Rey slaps a paper(that says "Kick Me!") on his back, the Green Lantern glares behind him but saw no one there when Elfman Strauss arrives and saw the paper on his back and immediately kicked him causing him fall down face first to the floor.
Hector stood up and tried to glare at the person who kicked him but saw no one, he turns around and was greeted by the sight of Ikkaku Madarame whom proceeded to shove a cigar on his mouth and lights it up, the bald-headed shinigami ran off when the cigar exploded, leaving Hector's face covered with ashes when suddenly Jacques Paulsen walks towards him and kicks him hard before running off.
Rubbing his soar rump and wiping off the ash on his face, Felipe Ignacio walks towards and taps his shoulder, he turns around to see comedian smiling at him when suddenly, Felipe brought out his water gun and sprayed his face, blinding Hector a bit before running off. As Hector wipes the water off his face, Jet Siegel walks towards him with a joy-buzzer in hand before grabbing Hector's right hand and electrocuting him on the process, Hector then fell down the floor as Jet walks away.
As Hector slowly gets up from the floor, Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson walks towards his direction while eating a banana before casually dropping the banana peel to the floor and Hector got up, he accidentally steps on the banana peel, immediately slipping and then crashing back down to the floor. As this is going on, Chad Mordetzky walks towards him and dropping several water balloons on his face, dowsing his face on the process before scampering off.
Shaking off the water, Hector slowly got back up and when he does, he is greeted by the sight of Franky holding a water hose before blasting him with water which pushes him a few inches away but surprisingly managed to keep himself from falling however, Kanji Tatsumi appeared behind him before kicking him hard, sending him crashing once again down to the floor.
"Oh...'' Hector groaned in pain, "... why my life sucks?'' he complained.
Later that afternoon at the academy's cafeteria, we see Shidou Itsuka, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney having lunch when Hector approaches them with a tray of food in hands and a tired look on his face. The trio watches him sat right next to Sting when suddenly, they heard a farting noise, Hector then quickly pulls out a whoopie cushion from his seat and proceeds to glare at Sting.
Sting raised his hands up, "Don't look at me... that was there when we got on to this table.'' he said with a grin.
Hector sighed before throwing away the whoopie cushion, "Whatever.'' he muttered.
"You seem to be having a bad day.'' Rogue pointed out.
"A lot worse than expected.'' Hector corrected, "This morning... I got pranked numerous times with no signs of stopping.'' he muttered.
"So, that's why the guys brought a huge box of pranking items.'' Shidou spoke, "I thought they're gonna do some pranking video, I guess those items were meant to use on you.'' he pointed out.
Rogue is seen checking his phone, "The pranks on Junior has been recorded and it's already had a million views.'' he revealed.
Hector then slams his head down, "This sucks...'' he grumbled, "What should I even do to earn a little respect around here?!" he complained.
"Respect is earned not given.'' Rogue spoke, "You can't expect people to give you that just on a whim, even your status as a Green Lantern and the son of Hector Vanguard isn't gonna earn you some respect right away, you need to do something to get people to respect you.'' he advised.
"How should I do that?'' Hector asked.
"It depends on what you do.'' Rogue answered, "You could get respect by doing the right things, helping people or even understanding other people's feelings but like I said, it all depends of what you do." he advised.
Hector then thought about it.
After lunch, we see Hector walking down the halls making his way towards his designated class, according to his schedule.
"It depends on what I do.'' Hector thought, "I guess I should start by telling everyone how awesome I am as a Green Lantern and maybe show off some of my powers.'' he thought with a nod, "Yeah! I think that'll work.'' he claimed.
Suddenly, Hunter slaps another paper(that says "Kick Me!") on his back, the Green Lantern glares behind him but saw no one there when Elfman arrives and saw the paper on his back and immediately kicked him causing him fall down face first to the floor.
Hector stood up and tried to glare at the person who kicked him but saw no one, he turns around and was greeted by the sight of Ikkaku whom proceeded to shove a cigar on his mouth and lights it up, the bald-headed shinigami ran off when the cigar exploded, leaving Hector's face covered with ashes when suddenly Jacques walks towards him and kicks him hard before running off.

"Oh...'' Hector groaned in pain, "... why can I catch a break?'' he complained.
Bzzzttt...

Later that night at Neo-City, we head towards the Dormitory Village to see Hector walking around the streets with hands in his pockets. He just recently left the lounge area from the Training Camp after getting relentlessly pranked by the others.
Hector sighed, "Getting respect sure is hard.'' he commented before noticing Mario Martinez making his way towards a certain house while carrying three boxes in his arms. He then jogged his way towards him, "Good evening, President Mario.'' he greeted.
Mario turns to him, "Oh! Good evening, young Hector.'' he greeted back.
"That looks heavy.'' Hector pointed out, "Do you need a hand?'' he offered.
Mario smiled in gratitude, "Thank you, I appreciate the help.'' he complied.
And with that, we see Mario and Hector making their way towards the former's home with the latter carrying two boxes in his arms.
"President, what are these?'' Hector questioned while wondering what's inside the box.
"Oh just a bunch of food supplies.'' Mario answered, "The supplies in my home is running out, so I figure to restocked it that would last for an entire month.'' he explained.
"I see.'' Hector said. The two were silent for a minute before he spoke again, "Umm... president?'' he called.
"Hm?'' was Mario's response.
"What was my father like?'' Hector asked.
Mario chuckled, "Never get to know him well?'' he pointed out.
Hector sighed, "Yeah.'' he confirmed.
Mario chuckled again, "Well... there is a lot to say about you father.'' he said, "He is brave, courageous and puts others first before himself which is the whole reason he is such a respected figure.'' he explained. "But won't you believe that your father was unlikable person at first?'' he questioned.
"Eh? How so?'' Hector asked in surprise.
"I believe you already know the answer to that." Mario pointed out which made Hector's eyes widen in realization, "That is right.'' he confirmed, "Back then, a lot of people don't trust your father because of his previous background.'' he pointed out, "Your father often gets pushed around and discriminated because of that however, he never complained nor argued with everyone. In fact, acknowledging his flaws and his honesty would later gain him friends and allies, his gallant and charismatic personality were also a reason why he became the leader of the Freedom Seekers. And during the first Great Alien War, your father fought valiantly, leading wars to victory over victory, fighting for freedom and caring for his comrades, your father may have died during the end of the but he is forever etched in the hearts of people who fought alongside with him and will be known as one of the greatest heroes of all time.'' he explained with a smile, "Young Hector... you maybe his son and I understand that you want to be like him but I want you to know that you have to create your legacy, your father did just that and I believe you should do that do.'' he advised, "Your still new, both on being a Green Lantern and a hero of the Coalitions, and I can see that your struggling with your position in this place but rest assure you that you'll be fine.'' he reassured, "Learn to appreciate the hardships that will shape you into the hero that you wanted to be.'' he advised, "Am I right?'' he asked with a smile.
Hector stares at him for a minute before smiling back, "Yeah... you right.'' he said in agreement, "Thank you for telling me these things, Mister President.'' he said in gratitude.
Mario chuckled, "It's no pleasure, my boy.'' he reassured, "If your father is still alive, I'm pretty sure he is going to be proud of what you are right now.'' he claimed.
Hector scoffed with a smile, "I hope so.'' he mused.
Bzzzttt...
The next day at the Vanguard Academy, we see Hector walking down the halls making his way towards his designated class, according to his schedule.
"Okay... I just need to be true to myself and maybe... just maybe... people will start to like me... even for a bit.'' Hector thought with a smile.
Suddenly, Hunter slaps another paper(that says "Kick Me!") on his back, the Green Lantern glares behind him but saw no one there when Elfman arrives and saw the paper on his back and immediately kicked him causing him fall down face first to the floor.
Hector stood up and tried to glare at the person who kicked him but saw no one, he turns around and was greeted by the sight of Ikkaku whom proceeded to shove a cigar on his mouth and lights it up, the bald-headed shinigami ran off when the cigar exploded, leaving Hector's face covered with ashes when suddenly Jacques walks towards him and kicks him hard before running off.
