[X] "As I see it, the only weed dirtying school property here is the spoilt brat before me, throwing a tantrum because he hasn't gotten exactly what he wanted. Now are you going to grow up and stop, or will I have to teach you a lesson in [discipline]?"
"As I see it, the only weed dirtying school property here is the spoilt brat before me!" You declare rather dramatically, pointing both hands at Hyuga and slightly leaning back your head so you can look down on him. "Throwing a tantrum because he hasn't gotten exactly what he wanted! Now are you going to grow up and stop being rude, or will I have to teach you a lesson in
discipline?"
"Fuck you! Who the hell do you think you are, looking down at me like you're my goddamn superior?!" Hyuga straightens up, brandishing his sword once again. "I'm a nationally famous kendoist! I don't need weeds holding me back, and sure as hell I don't need people around telling me what to do! That grand Kendo Hall...should
belong only to me!"
He swings his sword again.
You, however, didn't keep up your pose for nothing. You catch the flat sides of the blade between yours palms while at the same time straightening your spine, shifting your center of gravity so that the force of Hyuga's blow is distributed evenly through your body and into the ground. This method allows you to block the blow with the minimum amount of force needed and to trap his bokken, thus neutralizing the green haired boy's advantage.
You told Medaka the truth: when it comes to Kendo you are only average.
In a display of impressive flexibility your right foot shoots up between Hyuga's arms and slams right into his chin.
Your real specialty is
Savate.
Losing his grip on the bokken Hyuga is sent spinning backwards through the hallway. Luckily for him you held back, so when he hits the wall the impact doesn't produce web cracks on the concrete.
Switching the bokken's grip to your right hand you calmly walk towards Hyuga, who is slowly pushing himself up while bleeding from both the nose and the mouth. The red liquid's smell excites you, something that must has shown on your face because Hyuga's eyes widen.
"Do you not get along well with others Hyuga? Do you need to be taught not only
discipline, but also how to better
socialize?" Your smile widens to the point your slightly-longer-than normal canines are visible. "You're lucky then! Medaka would have been better for the first, but about the second I am a real expert."
You raise the sword in the air until both it and your arm are perfectly aligned. Conveniently the sun chooses that moment to shine behind you, bathing your body in a luminescent halo.
"So, even if I am not part of the Student Council, allows I, Zenkichi, to demonstrate what you lack!"

Someone knocks on the wooden frame of the sliding door. Ordering the reformed delinquents to continue training Medaka goes to see who it is. Opening the sliding door she comes face to face with a student, green hair set above broken glasses and a face that seems to have been run over several times. In fact his entire uniform looks like it went through a war. "Good morning. How can I help you? You don't look okay. You should deliver yourself to the nurse's office at once."
"Ah, no. Thank you, but I'm fine." He weakly raises a hand with a thousand-yards stare. "My name is Hyuga Habataki, 1st year. I would like to apply for the Kendo Club."
So he is the one Shiranui told her about with her request. She wanted to take care of it after training, but it seems the request's target came to her instead. Moreover, she has the
feeling the problem already resolved by itself. Marvelous. "You're more than welcome, 1st year Habataki!" She flaps her fan open. "May I inquire on your reasons to join, despite the Club not being official yet?"
"J-Just feels like it." He looks away, uncomfortable with the question. Or is it embarrassment? "I'm not doing it just because he told me to..."
How curious. Medaka feels there is quite the story behind it. Regardless, her duty now is to train the clearly enthusiastic kendo lover before her. "Very well! Take a
shinai and give me ten thousand strokes basic practice!"

The Next Day
You clench and unclench your right hand. Why do you have the feeling you touched something unsightly? Usually your gut feelings aren't so vague.
That's when you notice a vase with two flowers on the table of the Student Council Room. "What's with the flowers?"
"Hm?" Medaka turns to face you, her fan opens next to her face. "This is just an incentive to fulfill my official council duties. Every time I sort out a student's problem I put a flower on display, and at the moment I've got two. Truthfully the second one partially resolved itself without my intervention, but it still was a submitted request: as such I decided its completion deserved to be celebrated with a flower."
"Oh?" You now have a curious look on your face. "So you do have such a girly side to your personality then. And what will you do if you fail one of the requests? Leave an empty vase? Kill a flower off?"
"I won't fail." She says as she stares outside the window. "Even if I do, I won't dwell on it. My dream is to one day look out over this room and seeing nothing but blooming flowers." She smiles brightly.
"Is that so? Then we need to stockpile in perennial flowers." You point out. "Still, even if it depends on the number of requests people will send you, can you manage it alone? I heard you ended up ditching the recruitment meeting." Not that you believe she would have chosen anyone who joined.
"Fine by me." Medaka glances at you. "From the beginning I never planned on working with anyone except you."
"No can do. The minimum amount of members is five. Sooner or later, you will have to match it." You remind her before cracking an eye open. "But,
anyone except you? Is this what I think it is? Are you inviting me to the Student Council again?"
"Does it even need to be spelled out loud?" Medaka spreads her fan to the right, legs crossed and left arm circling above her head. Nice
pose. "Once again, stand by my side Zenkichi!"
[] "Fine. Give me an armband."
[] "Sorry Medaka, I need more time to decide."
[] "The answer is still no."
[] Write-in.

Yeah, my take from canon is that Hyuga is a male tsundere masochist. Sue me.
