After the introduction, Reiko started giving us a tour of our barracks. First, she showed us the men's barracks. It was a long room full of bunk beds. They didn't really look comfortable.
"This is where the boys are going to be staying. Make sure to be friendly with each other, boys."
Reika said while laughing.
We guys looked at each other, knowing that we'd fight each other over who had the best bed.
"Oh, and all of you have assigned beds, so don't worry about that!"
Reiko assured.
What a let-down.
After our barracks, Reiko brought us to look at the girl's barracks. They were the same size as ours, but the beds looked more conformable than ours.
"Hey, they have better barracks than us!"
Someone said from the back.
"Hey, you'd rather sleep on the floor?!"
Reika shouted back. The girls laughed.
I had noticed that Natsumi was still bad eyeing Emi. I don't know why, but girls are incomprehensible, so I didn't think about it too much. Hope they get along, at least.
After Reiko gave us the tours, she ordered us to go to our barracks. Us guys started going to our barracks and the girls as well. I peace signed Natsumi, as we would be separated. For some reason, Emi did it back at me. I think she thought I did it for her, but whatever.
"You'll have clothing and self-hygiene products under your beds. Everyone behave. Your phones can only be used if using the facility's internet. Oh, and boys and girls cannot be in the barracks of the opposite sex. Safety measure. Well, see all of you tomorrow! It's going to be a long day!"
As soon as Reiko finished, everyone had gone to their barracks.
"I couldn't bring my headphones, man! I can't even watch videos privately!"
Somebody said as we entered the barracks.
"Some of the girls are pretty cute, huh? Let's see if I can fetch me one."
Another one said.
Everybody were already forming their own friend circles.
"This guy seems puny as hell, I think I'm going to have some fun with him!"
I heard a guy say laughing. As I turn, I realized who he was referring to. It was Akito, my classmate. The guy was muscular, and he looked like the non-friendly type.
"This ain't school, bro. Don't start with the bullying."
Said Akito annoyed.
"I bully anyone I want, "bro". In my school, I'm the "alpha". And here I will be too."
He said responding.
The guy then got close to Akito and pushed him into the wall. He got hit hard on his back.
My impulses got the best of me.
"We just got here and you can't even control yourself? Your jackass is showing."
I said with a serious tone to my voice. He turned.
"Oh, you want some piece of the Daigo, huh? I'll kick your face in!"
Said the guy. His name was Daigo, apparently. A crowd of other guys started to form.
"Ok, let's go then."
I said as I walked towards him.
"You don't have to do this, Hiro!"
Shouted Akito from the floor.
"Hiro, huh? Never kicked someone's ass with that name. A new name to the list!"
Said Daigo while maniacally laughing.
As he laughed, I raised my fist and proceeded to throw a jab from afar.
He noticed it and quickly dodged it, moving to his right.
"That's it? Now it's my turn
He then threw a hook at me. I managed to move, but he still hit me in the arm. It hurt, but I was fine to keep fighting.
"That hurt, ain't it?"
Daigo said.
He didn't know what I was planning. I just needed him to keep punching and dodging, while moving to his right.
I tried to punch him again, also throwing another jab. He dodged it again. He tried punching me again, with him hitting me again the same way.
"What are those weak ass moves? I thought you would actually fight back!"
Said Daigo while stretching his fingers.
He noticed that he was standing on top of a blanket on the floor. While rambled, I put my foot on the blanket that he was standing on. I proceeded to move the blanket with my foot as hard as I could, making Daigo slip and fall onto the floor. I then grabbed his neck and pushed him into the same wall that he pushed Akito to.
"What was that?"
I said as he groaned in pain.
I got close to his face and knocked some sense into him.
"You don't scare anyone. Just like all the brainless muscle heads like you. Keep dreaming that you're on top so that I make you fall down again."
I said to him in a serious tone.
Everyone in the barracks had shocked looks on their faces. Like if they were scared of me. They didn't know the fighting me. The harsh me. And how unapologetic I was with my opponents.
I dropped him and he slumped over in pain. I stood up and gave one last look at him. I got tired of dealing with this guy, so I walked over to my assigned bed and laid down. I'm sure Akito wanted to thank me but was too shocked to.
What a great start to my journey here.
