There were few things that really set Sawada Shin's temper off.

Senseless violence was one of them.

It really pissed him off to see others fighting for the sake of violence, of inflicting pain to others just for the fuck of it.

This was main reason why, during his first year at Shirokin, Sawada systematically took control of the other freshmen. With his guidance, he organized the first years, that by second year, as newly minted juniors, they began to push the seniors back.

Of course, since Sawada was the ambitious sort, he stopped the violence at all levels. The incoming first years were put off limits to everyone, especially the juniors. While in past years, juniors would visit the same amount of violence they themselves face as freshmen to the new students, Sawada made it clear he wouldn't tolerate it. Not while he was still a student, and could do something about it. He would break the vicious cycle, even if it meant going against his own classmates. It took a few beatings to get the message across, but once it did, the level of violence fell dramatically.

Naturally, this didn't stop the seniors from being assholes and targeting the weaker students. Or for those same first years to come in with a chip on their shoulder and an almost rabid need to prove themselves by causing trouble.

It wasn't something to be bore, even from those he was trying to protect.

“This was very unnecessary,” Sawada said. He crouched down and stared at the kid groaning on the floor with such a dispassionate stare, it made the boys watching from the sidelines shiver.

The kid's face was bloody and bruised. Already one of his eyes was swelling shut. The kid would have one hell of a black eye come morning. “If you had something to say, then you could have simply come and talked to me. I'm not hard to find. Ask anyone, and they'll point you in the right direction. Of course, if that fails, I'm usually up on the roof, taking a nap.

“But beating up some juniors,” Sawada continued, his voice gradually lowering as he spoke until he was hissing the words out; “just to catch my attention. That was fucking stupid. Yeah, you caught my attention. Oh, boy did you catch my fucking attention. But you also pissed me right the fuck off.”

The kid tried to roll away, maybe crawl away from him. Sawada didn't let him; he grabbed the kid by the shoulder and shoved him onto his back again. He kept his hand there, pinning him by the shoulder. “You wanted to feel like a big man, didn't you? Wanted to show off just how big your balls are. So you picked a fight. No, you went and found the weak kids, the kids that don't want any trouble. Who just want to go to school, keep their noses clean and graduate as painless as possible and you beat the shit out of them. They didn't fight back, did they? They didn't punch back, they just took it and you gave it to them because you're such a big man and you can.”

He grabbed the kid by the chin and made sure the kid was looking at him before he whispered:

“So, tell me, big man, do you still want my attention?”
