Devil's Luck[Arc 5: Worlds Apart]

Zenkichi Hitoyoshi is a young man, destined to be chained by fate in the early story of canon. He was a man without ambition, drive, will and talent to become something great. Well, that'll soon change. For better, or for worse. .... AN: Alright, let's do this one last time, probably. Here's another Medaka Box fanfic that I hope it'll get to a hundred chapters before I drop it, or not? It depends on life really. And positive comments and reviews, I don't really care much of power stones(tho, that doesn't mean you can't...) but positive feedback on my work really inspires me more to write. Want to check out my pa-treon and be ahead of your fellow WN kin? Well here's the link: pa–treon.com/FroztDouluo *Just get rid of the dash. Edit: I just changed it to Gilgamesh because... Zenkichi basically almost resembles him at this point(I didn't planned for this happen) Schedule and the amount of chapters I'd be popping out? Tuesday and Thursday(UTC +8), 2–3 chapters a week(it's usually just 2 chapters because I'm slow at making anime related stories).

Chapter 7: A Wild Worst Girl has Appeared!

Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!

In the foliage area of the Hakoniwa Academy campus, in between numerous bushes and trees was Zenkichi. He had taken off his jacket, left on the ground a few feet away from him, with only his polo shirt on he was punching and kicking a tree.

There was no technique or style, it was just simply straight unarmed attacks with only one goal— beat the ever living life out of the tree.

"What was that..." Zenkichi began to mutter as he raised his left arm back and punched the tree once more and then it cracked into a spiderweb pattern, with splinters of the bark flying out, it finally couldn't take it and the whole middle part of the tree shattered into pieces.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..." Zenkichi panted, sweat dripping down his face, his eyes looking dazed as he clenched his fists, that was unexpectedly completely fine. A testament to how strong he was.

'I needed twenty punches to shatter a tree that was four times my size.' He turned towards another tree, that was a bit bigger than the one he just destroyed, and went towards it as he passed by a few broken trees.

Breathing out, he entered into a combat stance with his left hand pulled back, a black metallic sheen started to cover his entire left forearm.

'Let's see how powerful my fist would be with "The Iron" coating it.' With that thought in mind, he punched the tree— and shattered it into pieces.

"One punch... You've gotta be kidding me." Zenkichi muttered out in surprise, his eyes set on his iron hand that shone under the sunlight.

'I don't feel my hand being heavy despite it becoming completely iron. Does it mean it doesn't become heavier? Or I just can't feel the weight of it? I have to find a weighing scale next to be sure.' He huffed and let his left arm fall to his side, the iron sheen becoming undone and his left forearm's flesh was seen once more.

"This should be enough experimenting, for now. Now what should I do for the rest of the afternoon? With Hiratsuka-sensei, Chabashira-sensei, and all called for a meeting, I've got the entire afternoon free." Zenkichi hummed as he went to pick his jacket, thinking of ways on how to pass the time until school is over.

Although he could try going home...but he'd have nothing to do and the space in the house was too small for him to practice Savate. So he'd just continue staying at school for a while.

'Its been two hours since my conversation with the president. I wonder what she's doing now?' Zenkichi thought mindlessly as he brushed the dust and leaves off his uniform jacket before wearing it over his shirt and turned around to walk out of the forest.

"Medaka-chan..." Zenkichi muttered out her name absentmindedly before shaking his head.

When he heard the reason of why Medaka wanted him to join the student council and then refusing to join her...it was to be expected.

Zenkichi is a person of two lives, one's past who had fragmented yet had many regrets and the other without any sort of ambition. He wanted to live this second life for his to the fullest and without leaving any regrets, starting by surpassing the girl that had always excelled on everything.

If he accepted her offer in that moment, he knew that there wouldn't be any change of their relationship.

Was it inferiority complex? Maybe. But at least it was a goal that no other person would ever think of doing. Zenkichi could at least hold that over them because he knew that despite their talk and accomplishments they'd think would put them at the same level as Medaka, they wouldn't even be close to 10% of her true strength.

And that's if she doesn't break her limits, again.

'Though, in the end, that just means I'm still chasing after her.' He let out a sigh as the wind blow past him.

'...I should at least try to check on how she's doing. Despite how powerful she is, she can be a bit stupid sometimes–' Zenkichi reminisced back to the time he was at middle school and was accompanying Medaka at what was probably at her peak.

There was a rustle coming from the bushes.

"Interesting. You can coat your hands with some type of metal? Huh. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were using Armament Haki or something..." Zenkichi's eyes widened as he heard a dull and nonchalant voice behind him.

He turned around and saw a person standing at the place where he had destroyed the tree with his hand coated with "The Iron".

It was a strange girl; wearing bandages around her head, mostly covering her face except the blank dead red left eye while a handle of what seems to be a knife was sticking from her right; with short unruly purple hair sticking out of the bandages. She was wearing the academy's girl uniform with long, skin-tight, dark blue leggings and similar colored tight sleeves that covers both of her entire arms till her fingers.

She had her arms crossed, emphasizing her large bust, as she stared at Zenkichi with nonchalance yet curious at the same time.

"...Who are you?" Zenkichi asked wearily with furrowed brows as he subtly went into a combat stance.

'How did I not notice her? There are thick bushes and trees around me that can easily make a sound the moment someone entered this area, and the school ground is dozens of meters away from here! For me to only hear her just now, I must've either been too focused on my thoughts or...she's skillful enough to hide and she let me notice her.'

'Either way, I have to be careful. Hakoniwa Academy stands at the same footing as Koudo Ikusei, Shuchiin Academy, Hyakkaou Private Academy, Saint Ishiyama Academy, etc. but there are strange rumours that had came from those schools and a lot of them are all about the students. That's to say, every school at the top of the nation, has students that aren't normal like Medaka.'

'And she's giving the feeling I sometimes get from Medaka.' Zenkichi silently coated both the skin of his legs with "The Iron" and thankfully it was covered from view with his trouser and shoes.

The girl didn't respond. She just kept staring back and forth at him and the tree he destroyed with "The Iron" then to the other trees with his bare hands with an eerie dull eye.

This continued for a few minutes before she finally stopped and went to look straight at Zenkichi's eyes that unnerved him.

She tilted her head, "...I have to say, you're already quite strong without that ability of yours. If I count out those with physical enhancement related abilities, I'd put you in the top 15 in the entire school. And considering how, "abnormal", the certain percentage of students in this school is, I'd say that's quite something."

She finally responded but not with an introduction or revealing her motive of approaching him, but with a hypothetical analysis of what level Zenkichi's strength is currently at that dumbfounded him.

But she didn't just end there.

"Hm. How truly interesting. Unless you have an obsession of finding the greatest treasure belonging to a certain pirate king, which had both motivated and stimulated your hidden potential, or you had been experimented on and gained something because, last I remembered," She then walked straight towards him and just stopped by a hair's breath, with her honkers almost touching him, and looked up to his face and stare intently at him with a dangerous glint in her eye. "Hitoyoshi Zenkichi is a normal person."

At that, it finally sent the alarms in Zenkichi's mind into overdrive as he lightly prepared his legs while his eyes widened in shock.

'Okay, who the fuck is this girl?!' He internally screamed and sweatdropped.

Zenkichi only feared a couple of people in his entire sixteen years of existence, past life or the original, but he was more scared of a certain type of people.

The sociopathic intellectual type. After all, what's worse than a sociopath? A sociopath with the brains to hack into the Pentagon, create viruses that can reanimate the dead or something!

And that was the feeling he was getting from this girl.

Zenkichi gritted his teeth as he glared back at her, "Who the fuck are you...?"

"Me?" The girl let out a dry chuckle and smirked at him in contempt. "I'm the girl that can decide whether or not you can continue living the life of a normal person. My name is Naze Youka."
