The Rival

"Hello everyone it is a pleasure to meet such devilishly handsome men and beautiful women."

A small applause came from the classroom of ten.

"My name is Warren King and one of my past times is writing literature."

Fucking.

Nailed.

It.

Whoever doubted me I just wanted to say you could suck a cock and I would like to thank the academy, this is-

"What genre did Edgar Allen Poe indulge himself in?"

A boy with flowing blonde hair and the prettiest hazel eyes said as he licked his lips. I assume that this was a challenge to my words.

"Nevemore?"

Another round of applause came from the class.

"Splendid joke Mr. King, I can tell you at least know some famous literature creators, now please take a seat."

I robotically made my way to a seat closest to the window. That meant I could stare aimlessly outside, perfect. I situated myself in the seat that had main character written all over it. I relaxed my shoulders as a milf, I mean very pretty brunette walked to the front of the class. She had on purple slacks and an amazingly knitted purple coat.

"Hello everyone, my name is Mrs. Applebottom, I will be your homeroom teacher and in charge of pumping you ecstatic learners full of literature. I am replacing the previous literature teacher who moved unexpectedly away, I hope you find me a fitting replacement."

Her white tooth full grin radiated happiness through the classroom. I could tell I was going to enjoy being taught under her.

"First off I hope everyone becomes good friends with Mr. King, it would be a shame if he found our class distracting."

A few people nodded while others slouched back in their chairs. It was weird that there was only ten people in the class, usually most schools had waaaaay more.

Huh.

"Hey what's up Warren."

I jumped and turned around, a tan boy with crazy wild curls sat behind me, his eyes hazel and deep. It was fun to not to see blue for a change.

"Hello ther-"

"First off let's fix a few things. That uncanny uptight rich attitude will sell to no one, we are all surrounded by the wealthy, we know when a poser shows up."

Gulp. I relaxed and wearily smiled, "Well thank you?"

"Also your fate is already sealed, you are in the class with the big three."

I raised an eyebrow and searched around the class, "The big three?"

The kid nodded and leaned in, "The Big three are pretty much the people who rule the school."

Ah, wait like with gangs?!

"Like with gangs or just by reputation?"

The kid shrugged, "I don't know how it works, just know people are going to or already know you are a commoner, hell I use to be one."

I pointed at him, "But exactly who are you?"

"Sam, Sam Garrison. My dad won the lottery and now I'm stuck attending this school."

We awkwardly shook hands. I could tell we would be good friends, I mean, commoners have to stick together right?

"Now never talk to me again."

Whaaaaaaaaat?!

"We literally just like, did the thing people do to become friends."

Sam sighed, "Look, it took me forever to finally get the big three and the upper class men off my back, they hate people like us and I do not want you to ruin that."

What the hell, is it that bad?

"What the hell, is it that bad?"

Sam nodded, "yeah those asswipes won't stop humiliating you till you leave or accept it."

I turned around and surveyed the class once again. Who could the big three possibly be?

Staaaaaaaare.....

I noticed it finally, three side glances aiming directly at me. The same blonde who had his feet propped up on his desk, a red head with pigtails and freckles, and finally a black haired bowl cut boy in glasses. Usually I would of never noticed but it was quite obvious how bad they stood out.

This wasn't my hero academia either, they would surely not be that outlandish.

SLAM

The door slid open, an asian guy with black hair barged in. He stayed quiet as all eyes turned toward him. He tipped his chin up and...

Sniff sniff

"Fresh meat."

Mrs. Applebottom raised a hand toward him, "Um, why have you come late?"

The boy smiled, "Thank you for the offer but I'm a third year so I cannot accept."

She titled her head, "uhhh, then why are you in here?"

The boy leaned back and exaggeratedly laughed out loud, "Ahhh, why I have come to declare war."

Declare War?

"To declare war on Warren King for the heart of Amelia Amaris!"

What the fuck?!

Shortly after his grand gesture, Amelia inched into the room, "Shi stop it, I only gave him a ride..."

It was the shy girl I met earlier.

The asian boy put a hand out, "Do not worry my love, I will vanquish the man who dares defy our fate."

Sam grabbed his desk and chair and moved back a couple of feet. I stared at him, his eyes reading,

Good luck.

Another voice spoke, "So it seems the commoner trash is trying his hand at girls already."

It was the blonde handsome boy who asked me the question at my introduction. He stood up dramatically and pointed at me, "Shi, destroy him."

Destroy...

Destroy?!!?!!!?

Shi nodded, "For my love I will."

"Fufufuffu, it seems things have gotten quite interesting."

Now it was the pigtailed redhead who stood out.

"I'll make sure to alert my fan club," said the boy with glasses.

Fan club?

I was starting to see why the big three were so big, no homo. What was about to unfold?!

Shi suddenly smiled as a flash of movement revealed his drew a long black katana.

See at first I literally never thought I would say that sentence in my head but fuck, he actually held a katana.

"Die Heathen!"

Mrs. Applebottom twitched and stood frozen smiling. Could all that big boobed woman could do was smile?!

"The school's newspaper would love this story!" The pigtailed red head had a laptop on her desk, her fingers moving faster than I could even see.

My attention went back to Shi who took a heavy step in my direction. I quickly shot out of my seat, the entire class going quiet, all eyes on me.

I turned toward the window, it sliding open without a second thought.

Hop*

I smiled as I realized I avoided all conflict, but then it quickly disappeared as I realized I was two stories up. I was now plummeting toward the hedges lining the building, the air whipping past me.

It never occurred to me jumping out of a window would be an option but when someone is wielding a katana, I mean, anything goes.

I hit the hedges with devastation, my entire body sinking into the strangely soft leaves. I looked at my body to see if everything was okay and simply hopped off. I dusted away any leaves stuck to me and looked up. Shi glared down at me with ferocious eyes.

Hop*

Are you fucking kidding me.

"You think fifteen feet will separate us!"

I honestly did but as he also landed in the bushes, I turned and sprinted toward the huge rolling hills that was the proclaimed backyard of Grand Dobi. A bed of different colored flowers covered the green hills like a blanket, a few solitary buildings scattered about.

"You bastard come back!"

"Get the fuck away damnit!!!"

Shi was close behind, his katana at the ready.

As I came over the first hill I skidded to a stop, all four of my step sisters were crouched over a few plants.

"Oh, hi..."

Arid stood up, "What the hell happened, why are you here?!"

Olivia looked up, a white rabbit sitting in her lap, "If you disturb Arny I will hurt you."

Fey glanced at me and sighed, her attention back to the flowers.

Autumn smiled, "Waaaarreeeen, it's nice to see a interesting face, what are you doing here?!"

I waved shyly at Autumn.

Then I felt it, intent, killer intent. I side stepped, the katana sinking into the ground.

"How dare you ignore me peasant."

I exhaled as I side stepped, accidentally bumping into Arid. She fell down, her white hair falling out of place.

"Oh my god, Arid I'm so-"

"What did I just say you cunt?!"

I side stepped again, only this time the katana was aiming at Arid. Oh no! Arid held her hands up in defense.

SLASH

...

Arid opened her eyes she had previously closed, my eyes also meeting hers. Shi stood idle, noticing he missed his target.

All three of our eyes wondered downward.

Arid's uniform cut clean in half, even her bra. I locked on, two bountiful breast hanging out, her pink nipples larger than I remember.

Wait!

I covered my face, Arid screaming and covering her exposed breasts. Shi froze,

"I have brought shame to Amelia's love, I must die."

He got down on one knee turned the blade toward himself.

"Sorry Amelia."

A tear rolled down his cheek.

"What is going on students?"

We all stopped, something we all felt halted our every move.

Fear.

I turned to see were the deep male voice came from.

It was a huge man in an all black tuxedo with a red hoodie, he was completely bald and had a scar across his face.

Agent 47?!

"If I recall Shi Henzo, I confiscated that blade of yours, you may be part of the disciplinary committee but using an actual katana is an exaggeration."

Shi's eyes were wide and he bowed, holding his katana out, "I beg for forgiveness Tolkien-san."

Tolkien-san?

"Principal Tolkien I'm sorry for shi..."

We all turned to see Amelia panting, standing just behind Shi.

Principal?

This was the Principal of Grand Dobi?!

"It is fine, Arid, go to the bathroom, one of the maids will bring you a new uniform, Warren come to my office."

I swallowed hard and threw a "fuck you" glance at Shi, some people just have to make my day worse don't they.

----

His office was more of a huge library than an actual office, rows of shelfs filled with books, a fireplace, wood cabin like walls, and even a fur carpet. I was situated across from Mr. Tolkien, his eyes sharp and fearless. He had a huge square desk with engravings of lions on it. A gold plague with his name also had lions.

Now that I think about it, a very realistic lion head was mounted on the wall.

"I take it you discovered the few lions around my office?"

I nodded at the bald man, the scar making me feel even more uneasy.

"You wonder why I have a fondness for lions, well let me answer it for you. You see Warren, Lions are fierce, strong, and determined to survive, but those are not the reason I like them. I find those rather generic in fact. The reason I love these creatures is because even if one were to never kill an animal and if we want to go overboard, if a lion never moved, we would all be scared of it, why?"

I wearily smiled, "I guess because it's a lion..."

"Precisely, lions are great because they harbor the reputation of their ancestors and brothers. Even if a lion became vegetarian and lost all its teeth, we would all still fear it, fear its reputation."

Mr. Tolkien folded his arms, his muscles threatening to tear his sleeves.

"What are you trying to prove?" I felt myself shaking.

"I looked over your background and I know what you are."

What I am, the Sex King?!

I opened my mouth to quickly void the idea.

"I know you are a commoner."

I stopped, my body relaxing, "Yeah I just happen to become rich recently, very recently in fact."

"I need your help to improve this school so that commoners such as yourself do not see us as some kingdom."

I laughed, "Why does it matter if a commoner cares?!"

Mr. Tolkien smiled a crooked smile, "Well most of our donations come from smaller companies like Apple or Amazon."

SMALLER COMPANIES?

Are you shitting me?

"Oh, so why do you need me again?"

Mr. Tolkien's tough attitude faded and he sighed, "Well since mostly better off kids come here, we do things too high class that people can't relate to us. Our festivals are pretty much excluded and all of Garden City seems to stay away. We need...I need you to help me level with the people around us."

I scratched my chin slowly, the giant man seemed small now, almost like he was begging.

I smiled, "How do you want me to help?"

Mr. Tolkien also smiled, "I want you to run for student council President."
