[color=6ecff6]“After you’ve combined your separated parts, your gunpla is complete!”[/color] He said before combining the arms, then the waist and legs of the Zaku II. [color=6ecff6]“Now then, if no one has any more questions, I think it's about time for us to wrap up this lesson.”[/color] He said with a smile as those in the class began to clean up their things or move their unfinished models to the tables. 

Naoki stretched as he looked at the clock, 1:45. He had 5 or so minutes before Shinrai would start the explanations. As he continued to stretch, he looked over to the back where he saw a flash of red. [color=6ecff6]"Is that ... Char's Zaku?"[/color] He would recognize that gunpla anywhere. It used to be one of his favorites since it was one of the favorites of his idol, Meijin Kawaguchi II, and was used by his favorite character Char Aznable. [color=6ecff6]"To think such a gunpla was hidden among the stock."[/color] He said with a smirk as he took a look at the builder. The blonde teen had entered the lesson late and was a distraction for the couple sitting behind him at first, but when the lessons continued he didn't cause any problems so he didn't do anything, and from the look on his face he was earnestly taking the lesson in.[color=6ecff6] "Can't hate a guy for that."[/color], he said with a smirk. 

However, just as Naoki approached the boys station, Shinrai's voice called out, alerting them all in the arcade ... 

[hr]
Seiichi Seo has always been a leader of those his age. With blonde hair and green eyes, he was born the son of Seiichi Sato, a high-end corporate leader, and Seo had learned early on in his life from his father that when you can control the people around you, you control the power dynamic. Staying in the crowd keeps you safe but you can only really get ahead in life by controlling the crowd, and choosing which direction to go. So when he had won his first gunpla tournament last year he knew he was destined for greatness. 

Recruiting his classmates was easy, everyone always flocked to him so he held tryouts by having them all fight each other in a free for all, and those that survived formed his new team. However, during this recruitment, there were 2 people who were missing. 

The first was Kusaka Riku, although Seo had seen the boy with a gunpla he had also seen the way he disgraced the Zenshin High uniform and he knew that Riku was a troublemaker. So when Riku hadn’t appeared for tryouts he was fine with it. 

The second however was someone who he knew had experience in gunpla tournaments. Someone who he even asked personally to join since he saw a spark of value in him. And what did he get for the kindness he showed to Yukihiro Naoki? 

[color=6ecff6][i]“I’m sorry, I just can’t imagine you winning regionals. And I’m aiming for worlds!” He said with a smile, an apologetic bow before walking away.[/i][/color]

THE DAMN NERVE OF THAT IMBECILE!!!! Naoki had insulted his pride and abilities, even going as far as to say that he was world-class compared to himself!!! The memory, even today, made him lose his cool. He needed to calm down, or else it will affect his piloting.

As one of his lackeys left to sign the 5 of them up, Seiichi Seo watched the crowd as people slowly began to sign up. Suddenly, the automatic door at the front opened up as a loud voice yelled through the arcade "Takemori Arcade! Get ready, because The Once in A Century Genius is here!" As Jun walked into the arcade, Seo immediately scoffed as his team joined in.

"Hey, who does this loud mouth brat think he is?" His black-haired teammate with glasses asked.

"Probably just some Chuunibyou geek who watched too much Gundam and thinks he's a NewType or something." His brown-haired short teammate said.

"Wait, hold on, isn't that 'Shark'!?" Said his teammate wearing a baseball cap that had left, now coming back from the signup sheet. This piqued Seo’s interest. If he had remembered the rumors correctly, Shark was a ruthless and aggressive fighter who would chase down whoever he locked his eyes on. 

As his teammates were looking between each other worried, Seo cleared his throat to gather attention. "It seems a new challenger approaches. But don't worry, with the five of us we'll be able to handle the Shark, Riku, and that Naoki bastard." He said with a smirk as his last teammate came back.

As he and his team scooted out and did last-second maintenance on their gunpla, the time for the tournament started, with the store's owner raising his voice to get everyone's attention. "May I have all participants attention, The Free For All Takemori Locals Tournament Will be beginning soon!" 

As he said that, he motioned towards the hexagons behind him. 2 tables consisting of 10 hexagons each (Rows of 3,4,3). "For the first round, You will be split into 2 groups of 10 and battling separately, then, those who have survived round 1 will fight in the second altogether. Here are the groupings!"

Table A turned on, and the holographic terrain of a half coastal and half-ocean battlefield.

Table B did the same, but the holographic terrain turned into a vast desert with scattered plateaus appeared.

"Now then, everyone please finish your last minute adjustments and dock your gunpla within the next 10 minutes or else you will be forfeit." The manager said

Seiichi looked to his group, "Listen up team, since we're in different tables for the first round I'll give you all your orders now. Avoid the shark, ... and sink Yukihiro Naoki. I can deal with the shark next round." He said with a smirk and an affirmative from his team.

The Zenshin High Gunpla Club approached their tables before Sei docked his Gunpla. 

"Hmph, This mission will be easy, perhaps I'll use this round to show Riku whos the top dog in Zenshin!" He said as the area around him became dark, Plavsky particles flowing around him. "Royal Alvaaron, Launch!"  He said as a dark purple Alvaaron launched into the desert of Table B.


(Don't start actually fighting yet, I just want everyone to get into a position to start the battles and enter their gunpla into their arenas as well as finish anything needed to beforehand.)
