Eguchi Keisuke knew that the Head of Department was a firm believer of fighting fire with fire, violence to control violence.
When Kimura Kazuki first joined the Sakura Kyu Academy, Takatoshi Asai, a delinquent, attempted to take his lunch money. Long story short, Kazuki beat him up.
The next day, Takatoshi Asai attempted to gather people to cause trouble, Kazuki jumped him, armed with an iron rod at the entrance of a classroom before he could even finish gathering the others.
Before the teacher could let the class off, Kazuki barged into the classroom as the bell rang and beat Takatoshi Asai until he had a concussion. Kazuki's ferocity left his opponents with at least their bones broken.
Anyone who messed with the Head of Department was taught a lesson.
Once, Takatoshi Asai returned to the academy after being discharged from the hospital, Kazuki sent him back to where he came from. After a few more times, Takatoshi Asai applied to leave the academy out of fear. Some say that they've seen him still limping.
After that, delinquents in Sakura Kyu were terrified of Kazuki. However, Kazuki didn't go soft on them either. From the freshmen to the juniors, they were all beat up by Kazuki.
Keisuke regularly went home with bruises and a beat-up face. His dad went to meet the boy who beat up his son, possibly to teach him a lesson, but in the end, both of them returned home with bruised faces.
Not even Keisuke's dad was safe from Kazuki. His dad kept getting beat up every day to the point of him begging Kazuki to stop beating him up. It ended up with Kazuki giving him a choice.
His dad was either to flee the town and pledged to never come back into the Jinwen District ever again, or he gave up alcohol and gambling and promised to become a good father and husband. He chose the latter.
His alcoholic and gambling-addicted father eased up on both the drinking and gambling. He had even started working at a restaurant, bringing home money for the family and putting food onto the table, allowing his mum to rest her aching body.
After hearing about this, Keisuke was no longer angry at Kazuki but was filled with gratitude instead. Soon after, he joined Kazuki's Sword Believers' Club.
As he thought of this, Keisuke let out an involuntary sigh.
"What is it?", Kazuki asked as he ate his noodles.
Kazuki's reason for joining Sakura Kyu, aside from the scholarship and free tuition provided, was to form the Club. There were many mysterious sightings during the early periods of the recuperation of reiki and Kazuki could use some help.
Keisuke wasn't a bad egg, his academic results weren't bad either. He joined Sakura Kyu because of his poor financial background but as he spent his time in Sakura Kyu, he became influenced by the delinquents around him. Kazuki helped him out of that situation, which allowed him to focus on his studies.
Kazuki didn't expect for the recuperation of reiki to not happen, but he had no intention of dispersing the Sword Believers' Club.
The Sword Believers' Club was beneficial for Kazuki. Because of this, he was still quite involved in the club.
He said, "Head of Department, you know the quadruplets in the higher form you asked me to monitor?- This morning I realized that other than Furuhashi Natsui, who took a leave of absence, the other three modified their school uniforms to its original style and are adhering to the school rules."
His expression turned strange, he looked to Kazuki and lowered his voice, "At noon, Furuhashi Natsui dyed her hair black and modified her school uniform to its original style. She wants to join the Sword Believers' Club."
"Ignore her."
"She said she was your girlfriend."
Kazuki paused after hearing this.
After noticing this, Keisuke began to choose his words carefully, "Chief, how do you want us to deal with her?"
Keisuke knew that the Head of Department had no girlfriend. Other than at club meet-ups after school, Kazuki seldom had any contact with girls.
Many girls have confessed their love for him but have been met with rejection. He believed that high school education was more important for when he heads for Tokyo University.
The Head of Department's results were first in his form. No one doubted that he was the hope of Sakura Kyu Academy to enter Tokyo University.
Hearing Keisuke's question, Kazuki glanced at him strangely.
Kazuki has a firm hold on his followers. It became second nature for them, whatever issue they're met with, to result in violence. Of course, Kazuki had no issue with this method, sometimes violence could simplify complex matters.
"Ignore her," said Kazuki. "The quadruplets entered Sakura Kyu through academy donations. The academy will be lenient, even if they make mistakes. As long as they adhere to the school rules, just ignore them."
Kazuki knew that the Furuhashi quadruplets came from a family with high standing. Keisuke and his followers could order students around in the academy but outside, they have little power.
Society valued fortune, glory and power. As long as someone had any one of these, their status in society was secure.
Natsui wanting to join the Sword Believers Club is an impossible matter.
Kazuki has gotten used to Natsui calling herself his girlfriend.
Many students from other schools in the Jinwen District had used his name. The many people who had encountered delinquents would simply say that they were related to Kazuki and the delinquents would be terrified.
In just one year, Kazuki had earned many relatives.
Cousin brothers and cousin sisters from his maternal side, cousins from his paternal side, brothers-in-law, girlfriends…all types of relationships were imposed upon him.
The delinquents even believe these ruses at first and came to Sakura Kyu looking for him.
Kazuki didn't stop ordinary students from using his name to protect themselves.
He even hoped that these delinquents would come every day since he would get more pocket money every time they came. However, it has been a long time since any delinquent dared to look for him in Sakura Kyu.
Natsui calling herself his girlfriend was only a small matter since there had been up to a hundred girls that had called themselves his so-called girlfriends.
As long as he ignored the other person, the issue would naturally go away after the other person got bored with it.
