King of Highschool Vol 1

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The king. A sacred title that is given only to the one with the highest position in their hierarchy. Throughout the sands of time, that statement has never changed. Pharaohs. Kings. Whatever title they took on, it didn't matter. People bowed to the king. Showering him with gifts and flowers in hopes of appeasing him. Even today, that title exists. In Sakurazuka high school, there is an annual crowning of a king through a western event known as 'prom.' If you were lucky enough to become prom king, you would be treated as such by the entire student body. Anything you want. Whether it be praise or flattery, it doesn't matter. Everything will be in the palm of your hand. It's... my dream to become the king. I need to become the king. For if I do, not only will I have the student body all over me, but I'll also be able to achieve all of my dreams! That's why...

"I want to become king."

"..."

"..."

"S-So. What'd you guys think?"

*Slam!*

"The hell you talking about? King? Are you messing with us, you smartass? Huh?!"

"U-Uh. I'm not-."

"We've been waiting for your donuts for way too long! Hurry up and bring them out, you punk!"

"I-I think five minutes is a justified-."

"Shut up! Our time is valuable, boy!"

*Shing!*

"Ever know what it feels like having one of these hit you on the head?"

"A-Ahh."

"You don't? Aww, how cute. It only hurts just a little."

I don't care what you say! A crowbar's a crowbar!

"If you don't bring them out right now, I'll give you a quick ta-."

"S-Sorry for the wait!"

The back door suddenly opened as a fresh new smell filled the air.

"Fresh batch is out!"

"...! T-Thanks! Hirano-san!"

Hirano nodded and placed the batch in front of me. To which I immediately started picking them up with the tongs and placing them in the box. Phew! What a save! Any later, and I'm certain those bulky dudes would've knocked me out!

"..."

"..."

But they're still here. Now comes the scary part.

"U-Umm. Total will come to 1500 yen."

"Huh? You expect us to pay after the wait?"

"P-Please try to be reasonable, si-."

*Grab!*

"Care to repeat that little comment?"

"A-Ah..."

Fist is raised. Fist is raised!

*Slam!*

"Second batch! Ah! Is there something wrong?"

Almost in an instant, the bulky dude released me and put on the biggest smile.

"Nothing's wrong! We were just messing with him a little! Ah! Total was 1500 yen, right? Here you are!"

*Cha-ching!*

W-What's with this complete change in personnel?

"Have a nice day! Hirano-chan!"
