Scene: Honno City - Slums
(Y/N walks through the dilapidated streets of the slums, hands in his pockets, looking around with a bored expression.)
Y/N: "Well, that was certainly... an experience."
(He kicks a loose stone. It skitters down the alley.)
Y/N: (Internal) Considering I'm a No-Star, living in a dump like this makes sense. But this school... it's not normal. People using clothes to dominate a city? I've seen some weird Quirks in my life, but this is a whole new genre of weird.
(Y/N): "I need to figure out a way to either stay off the radar or drop out entirely. I just want a quiet year. Is that too much to ask?"
(As he turns a corner, he spots a group of young boys standing over a scantily clad, unconscious body. It's Ryuko.)
Y/N: (Stops walking) "Ignore it. Just keep walking. Not your problem. You want a quiet life, remember?"
Young Boy 1: "Wow, she's almost entirely naked."
Young Boy 2: "You can almost see..."
Y/N: (Sighs deeply) "-_-"
Y/N: "Damn it."
(Y/N): "Oi. What do you kids think you're doing?"
(The boys turn around. The leader, a kid with a nose ring, sneers.)
Mataro: "Huh? Who are you? Trying to have your way with her first, huh!?"
Y/N: (Deadpan) "Do I look like a creep to you? The answer is no. Step away."
Mataro: "You think you can stop us? Boys, get him!"
(The group surrounds Y/N, brandishing crude weapons.)
Mataro: "You have insulted the Great Lightning Speed Mataro Mankanshoku!! Leave yo—"
(Mataro blinks. In a split second, Y/N moves. Small, precise explosions pop from his palms— pop, pop, pop. He chops each lackey in the neck with calculated speed. They all drop instantly.)
Mataro: "—ur money... eh?"
(Mataro looks around. His entire gang is unconscious.)
Mataro: "Wha!? How did you—"
Y/N: (Dusting off his hands, looking bored) "You said your last name was Mankanshoku, right?"
Mataro: "Y-Yeah."
Y/N: "I sit next to your sister in class. I am her... 'bestie', as she puts it."
Mataro: "Really!? Why didn't you say so before?!"
Y/N: "Ryuko here also happens to be her 'bestie'."
Mataro: "Eh!? Really!? (Bows furiously) Forgive me!"
Y/N: "You definitely didn't know that. Whatever. Do you know a place I can take her for medical treatment? Or at least some clothes?"
Mataro: "Of course! Follow me!"
(Y/N effortlessly picks up Ryuko and follows the kid.)
Scene: Mankanshoku Home - A Few Hours Later
(Ryuko is lying on a futon. A large man (Barazo) is leaning over her, breathing heavily.)
Ryuko: (Waking up) "Huh?"
(Ryuko's eyes snap open. She sees a strange man looming over her. Instinct takes over. She delivers a massive uppercut.)
Barazo: "GAH!"
(Barazo hits the ceiling and crashes to the floor.)
Ryuko: "You pervert! You dare make a move on me knowing that I'm the Kanto Vagabond, the Guitar Case Drifter!? Where is my Scissor Blade!?"
Mako: "Here it is!"
Ryuko: "Thanks! Be careful, Mako! This perv tried to—"
Mako: "Dad, what do you think you're doing?"
Ryuko: "Eh!? 'Dad'?"
(Ryuko freezes, then immediately bows to apologize.)
Barazo: (Rubbing his jaw) "You have quite the punch, miss! The second hardest I have felt today! I'm Barazo Mankanshoku!"
Mataro: "We've already met, but I'm Mataro Mankanshoku!"
Mataro: "You were pretty badass swinging that scissor around half-naked!"
Ryuko: (Punches Mataro) "Bite me! It's not like I wanted to be dressed that way."
Sukuyo: "If belting my husband or Mataro makes you feel better, feel free to belt away! I'm Sukuyo Mankanshoku!"
(Later, at the dinner table. Ryuko is bandaged up.)
Ryuko: "Wait... how did I get here?"
Mako: "My daddy did that! You'd never guess it but he's the best Back-Alley doctor around. He's killed more people than he's saved!"
Ryuko: "That's... usually a bad thing."
Barazo: "That's alright, the dead ones don't sue you."
Ryuko: "Right. But really, how did I get here?"
Mataro: "Y/N carried you. He brought you all the way to the clinic and asked dad to help you!"
Barazo: "Yeah! He was pretty nice, even though he did punch me super hard when he thought I was being creepy."
Sukuyo: "You were trying to grope the girl, dear. It was rightfully deserved."
Ryuko: "Oh."
(Ryuko looks down at her food, a small blush appearing on her cheeks before she shakes it off.)
Sukuyo: "Please, help yourself!"
Scene: Honnouji Academy - Satsuki's Tower
(Satsuki Kiryuin sits on her throne. A container lowers, revealing a Two-Star Goku Uniform.)
Iori: "This is a Tennis-spec, Two-Star Goku Uniform. A gift from Lady Satsuki."
Hakodate (Tennis Captain): "At last! A Two-Star Uniform of my very own! Thank you, my Lady!"
Satsuki: "Carry out your mission."
Hakodate: "Yes!"
(Hakodate leaves. Satsuki sips her tea, looking at monitors displaying images of Y/N.)
Satsuki: (Narrowing her eyes) "Y/N... What makes you so different from the others?"
Scene: The Next Day - No-Star Tram
(Y/N sits alone on the tram, looking out the window.)
Y/N: (Internal) If I stay out of trouble, I should be able to make it through the semester without any more headaches. Which means I should probably try to avoid Ryuko and Mako from now on. They are magnets for drama.
(The doors open. Ryuko and Mako enter. They spot him instantly.)
Mako: "Hey! Y/N!"
Y/N: (Slumping) "Oh, come on."
(They sit next to him. Y/N scoots down, trying to create a gap.)
Ryuko: "Hey, uh, Y/N I—"
(Y/N scoots further away.)
Ryuko: "...Oi!"
(Ryuko and Mako scoot closer, closing the gap aggressively.)
Y/N: (Sweating slightly) "Uh? Yes?"
Ryuko: "I just wanted to say thanks for carrying me to safety yesterday! It's not like I was gonna beat you or anything!"
Y/N: "Oh. Um... No problem. I guess."
(Ryuko stares at him intently. Her gaze feels heavy.)
Y/N: "I-Is there something you need?"
Ryuko: "Who are you?"
Y/N: "What?"
Ryuko: "When I first saw you, you seemed like some wimp. I didn't think you'd last ten minutes in this place. Yet here you are, fine. And after getting a closer look at you... it definitely seems like you have something to you. So what's your deal?"
Y/N: (Poker face) "I'm not sure what you mean by 'what's my deal'. I'm just a regular student who wants to learn."
Ryuko: "Do you really expect me to believe that?"
Y/N: "Uh... Yes?"
Ryuko: (Glares)
Y/N: (Sighs) "Look, I helped you. Even though you didn't rescue me, I came back and helped Mako. That means I can't be all bad, right? I really am just a regular guy who just so happens to sit next to you."
(Ryuko holds the stare for a second longer, then shrugs and looks out the window.)
Ryuko: "Whatever."
Ryuko: "There's a pretty distinct gap between rich and poor here."
Mako: "Yeah! That's how Lady Satsuki's system works! The more stars you have, the better your living is."
Y/N: "So how you live is directly related to how well you do in school? Sounds exhaustive."
Mako: "Yep! Isn't that awesome?"
Ryuko and Y/N: "No."
Scene: Outside the Academy
(The group walks toward the school entrance.)
Mako: "Oh yeah, that reminds me! Ryuko, Y/N, Mom said that if you guys need a place to— smack —Mom said that if you don't— smack —have a place to— smack —stay! You— smack —can— smack —stay— smack —with us! smack"
(Mako is being pelted by tennis balls mid-sentence.)
Ryuko: "Hey! What's the big idea!?"
(They turn to see a line of tennis players blocking the path. In front is Omiko Hakodate, wearing her new Two-Star Uniform and a large telescope lens over her eye.)
Hakodate: "Ah, you're the transfer student who was rude to Lady Satsuki. Stay out of this. I'm the Girls' Tennis Club Captain, Omiko Hakodate."
OMIKO HAKODATE
Y/N: "More letters... that can't be good. And HOLY SHIT that's a huge tennis racket."
Hakodate: "Tennis club member Mako Mankanshoku has failed to fulfill her club obligations. She is being purged as a result."
Ryuko: "What did Mako do wrong?"
Hakodate: "She skipped yesterday's club practice."
Ryuko: "Yesterday? Mako was being held hostage yesterday!"
Y/N: "I can confirm that. She was tied up. So was I, unfortunately."
Hakodate: "I don't care. Those are our rules."
(The tennis team fires a volley of balls. Ryuko jumps in front, blocking them all.)
Ryuko: "Go on ahead, you two! I'll take care of this!"
(Y/N and Mako nod and run toward the schoolyard.)
Scene: Schoolyard Tennis Court
(Ryuko tries to fight Hakodate, but Senketsu fails to activate. She gets knocked into the waterway. Mako and Y/N are surrounded by One-Star tennis players before they can reach class.)
Hakodate: "Club member Mako! You are going to receive your punishment whether you like it or not! And you! Other transfer student! For aiding a club member in escaping her punishment, you are gonna share her punishment as well!"
(Cut to: Y/N and Mako chained to a pole in the middle of the court. Tennis players are firing balls directly at their heads.)
Y/N: (Annoyed) "Really? I'm chained up again? What is with this school and their bizarre punishments?"
(The tennis balls hit Y/N's face. They bounce off harmlessly due to his durability, but the impact is irritating.)
Y/N: "Would you guys stop hitting me!"
Tennis Player: "Shut up!"
Mako: "Leave Y/N— smack —alone! smack It is only— smack —me— smack —you want! smack"
Y/N: "See!? Even Mako says I should go!"
Tennis Player: "SHUT UP!"
(Ryuko returns, blocking the shots.)
Mako: "Ryuko!"
Y/N: "You'll 'take care of this' huh?"
Ryuko: "Shut up! I wasn't ready before!"
Y/N: "I am being pelted by tennis balls!"
Ryuko: "I was too!"
Y/N: "I am STILL being pelted by tennis balls!"
Hakodate: "You've come for another beating?"
Ryuko: "As if! This time I'm gonna kick all of your asses!"
(Ryuko activates Senketsu. The rematch begins.)
Scene: The Match
(Ryuko and Hakodate are locked in a high-speed tennis match. Y/N and Mako have escaped their bindings and are sitting on the sidelines.)
Mako: "Yeah! Go Ryuko! You can win!"
(Ryuko starts losing. The standard aluminum racket is bending under the pressure of the Two-Star serves.)
Y/N: (Watching calmly) "Her racket is warping. Hey, Ryuko. Maybe you should use your Scissor Blade instead of the cheap aluminum racket."
Ryuko: "Shut up!"
Senketsu: "He is right, Ryuko. The Scissor Blade is the only thing that can withstand our strength!"
Ryuko: "Ugh! Fine!"
(Ryuko switches to the Scissor Blade. She hits the ball back with immense force, destroying Hakodate's racket and blowing her clothes off. Hakodate flies backward, stark naked.)
Ryuko: (Smirks) "I guess the match can't continue."
Sanageyama (Elite Four): "Don't get full of yourself, bitch!"
Satsuki: "Wait, Sanageyama."
(Satsuki steps out of her tower.)
Satsuki: "The victor of the match is that girl."
Scene: Satsuki Descends
(Satsuki walks down to face Ryuko.)
Ryuko: "So, are you going to tell me? Are you the Scissor Blade Woman?"
(Satsuki draws her katana, Bakuzan.)
Satsuki: "If you wish to know the answer, ask the question with your skill."
(Satsuki lunges. The pressure is immense. Ryuko is forced to retreat immediately.)
Ryuko: "Mark my words! Next time I'll finish this once and for all!"
(Ryuko and Mako disappear into a cloud of steam, escaping. Y/N is left standing alone in the destroyed court.)
Y/N: (Internal) Awkward.
(Y/N): "I should probably go now..."
Satsuki: "And where do you think you're going?"
(A wall of One-Star students blocks Y/N's path. Satsuki turns her glare directly on him, sword still drawn.)
Y/N: "Um. Home?"
Satsuki: "What is your relationship to Ryuko Matoi?"
Y/N: "We're just desk mates! Well, I sit next to Mako, who sits next to her. So far, I've kind of just been dragged into these things just by being near them. Wrong place, wrong time, you know?"
(Satsuki's glare doesn't waver. Without a word, she lunges at Y/N with her sword.)
Y/N: "Uh."
(Time seems to slow down. Y/N's eyes track the blade perfectly. He can see the trajectory, the speed, and the stopping point.)
Y/N: (Internal) With the way she's swinging that, it's gonna stop just in front of my face. She's testing my reflexes. If I dodge, she knows I'm strong. If I stand here, she knows I'm confident. This is a great opportunity to make her think I'm just a nobody!
(The blade stops inches from Y/N's nose. Y/N deliberately throws himself backward, falling onto his butt in mock terror.)
Y/N: "Wa!?"
Satsuki: "Hmph. Pathetic. Get out of here."
Y/N: (Scrambling up) "Don't have to tell me twice!"
(Y/N runs off, disappearing into the city.)
Sanageyama: "Huh, I guess he was just all 'show' huh?"
(Satsuki sheathes her sword. Her expression is serious.)
Satsuki: "I want Y/N L/N under surveillance from now on."
Sanageyama: "What!? But he's just—"
Satsuki: "More than he appears. His eyes were not those of an amateur cowering in fear. They were the eyes of a skilled veteran analyzing a threat."
Sanageyama: "Really?!"
Satsuki: "He's hiding something. And I want to know what it is."
