Moji and his goons. What do you think of them?
Since you only met them today you don't know yet: you aren't aware of their actual circumstances and feelings, so you should refrain from judging them already. Ultimately whatever they want to be, delinquents or good students, it is up to them to decide.
That is, if Medaka doesn't make them quit school altogether first.
Still upside-down Medaka's beautiful lips open up in a predatory grin, eyes ablaze with a strong presence that could make even the most trained soldier cower in submission engulfing the delinquents. Ah, it's times like this that reminds you why, despite the craziness and unreasonability, you still stick with Medaka. Your left hand comes up, hiding your lower face and the smile showing your slightly-longer-than-normal canines.
What a beautiful predator!
"We start with the basic strokes, 1000 times!! Don't you guys even think you're going to be able to walk home today!!"
That's your cue. "It looks like you have everything under control. Bye bye Medaka." You turn around to leave.
A vice-like grip on your shoulder stops you.
Dread fills you. "Medaka, I don't need to be reformed."
"Oh, but it would be a shame for you to miss it." The deadly sweet voice of Medaka comes in response. "I remember you to be quite good at kendo. Let's make sure you didn't get rusty."
"You remember wrong! I was only average!"
Your protests were completely ignored.

The Next Day
"This is something I've been thinking for a while now: is there any chance that you're a idiot?" Shiranui suddenly asks during lunch.
"Define idiot." You drily reply, watching fascinated as your midget friend devours her fifth bowl of chicken with rice while you're still halfway your first.
Have you befriended a black hole?
"You seem to be dragged along on the little princess' quests pretty much every time. You never deny her or offer excuses. Isn't it the mark of being an idiot?" She casually insults you between mouthfuls.
"Sure it's annoying sometimes, but it isn't as if I can't keep up." Indeed, even after the grueling training of yesterday a healthy meal and a good night of sleep is all you needed to be better than ever. "No, I probably am the only person that can keep up with her. Then again she's always been like this, even since we were kids."
Growing up with her was almost a training regime you would see in some martial arts manga. You don't think even Ranma Saotome had a childhood so hard.
There are worse things that being thrown into a pit of starving wild cats while tied and covered in fish.
"You see, she doesn't get the fact that she's better than other people at pretty much everything. As a result, she puts efforts into making those around her as good at things as she is."
For example, this is a story a student that went to the same middle-school of Medaka told you: after getting the results of the national mock exams she actually decided to teach the revision classes over the summer holiday.
A noble action? Sure. High expectations for good results? She got the highest score in the country so yes.
But to the amazement and disappointment of everyone what she ended up teaching was how to write '1' and '7' in a way that won't confuse the examiners and how to fill out the multiple choice sheets. Everything she taught was to help prevent misunderstandings when the texts are marked.
As far as Kurokami Medaka was concerned people didn't make mistakes in tests: they just didn't fill the sheets out properly. She presumed from the start that everyone could get full marks. That was because that was always the case for herself.
It's sad, really, that the only thing able to cross the insurmountable gulf between Medaka and normal humans is yourself. This is probably the second real reason for you sticking so close to her.
"Hee...so, what do you think will happen?"
"About what?" You resume eating.
"About those guys from the Kendo club." She cheerfully replies.
"Well..."
[] "I am sure they understood their errors and are ready to become serious kendoists."
[] "I imagine they will never want to go near the hall after what they were put through."
[] "I think Medaka just gained new followers. They will be too terrified to defy her again."
[] "They sure received a lesson. Beside that, I don't know."
[] "Whatever happens, happens. Not my concern."
[] "It depends if they learned their lesson or not. If not, I am sure Medaka is ready for a repeat."
[] "I think that at least they understood Medaka's best intentions."
[] "I'm not even sure if those guys were able to go back home yesterday. The training was that harsh."
[] "Honestly? I hope they disappear completely."
