Chapter 15
Author's note:
A small prompt on behalf of one of the reviewers... congrats VioletFan123! I appreciate all of the other reviews and I will derive more short stories from your ideas, maybe update this twice a month if time allows it... Nothing much, just a lot of fluff, randomness and crack... enjoy! ^_^ Don't forget to review on your way out, I am seriously running out of ideas. One last thing, I'm sorry about the late updating and all, my IGCSEs have just finished recently and I have yet to forget about the horrors of trying to memorize stuff on 10 subjects at a time... TAT. If you don't get what I mean by referring to certain unknown characters, look it up. So anyways... please enjoy and review, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
After the exams have passed, the rest of the school were relaxing, but the Generation of Miracles were all but doing so. They were all focused on the state playoffs and were dying over every practice; once they finished their stamina training menus, another hellish personal one was waiting for them. Unbeknownst to them, another troublesome distraction was coming...
The Glee club are beyond frustrated now, they were desperate to force the exchange students out. They have started to brainstorm on more new and equally ridiculous ideas to get rid of the colourful teens, but discarded them as quick as Aomine was to run away from Momoi's handmade bento. Some of these stupid attempts really should go down in history, some such as...
FLASHBACK:
"I propose an eating competition."
Lauren sat down in the McKinely cafeteria with Mercedes; each with a plateful of burgers, a giant pile of 'Tater Tots, a dozen of blueberry muffins, 3 tubs of fried chicken and 2 gallons of Coke in hand; a massive crate in tow in which anyone can guess what was in it (more food of course).
The assembled Generation of Miracles either sweatdropped (Murasakibara, Akashi and Kuroko) or fell down comically (Aomine, Kise, Midorima) when they heard the statement. Unconciously, all of them shared the same thought: Did that glutton seriously challenge us to an eating competition?!
Akashi managed to keep a straight face (even though inwardly he was trying super hard not to lose his composure by laughing like an idiot) and asked while gritting his teeth together "What if you lose?"
The 2 girls hesitated for a brief moment, then said in unison "We won't lose."
Ruby and gold eyes flared in anger and Akashi's left eyebrow twitched in irritation. "Very well. If you lose, pay for the food you used and wasted in this, other than that I will forcefully remove you respectively from the cheerleading team and the wrestling team; it is a m. Daiki and Atsushi, you're in. Don't lose."
The eating competition started shortly after the reluctant acceptance of the bet, it was a ridiculous sight to be seen. If a passerby was to be asked what is more funny, they would most likely freeze, as both the sight of Aomine stuffing his mouth so full he looked like a chipmunk and Lauren forcing 2 muffins in her mouth at a time, were too much to take in at once.
The first one down was Mercedes, face ash grey and mouth foaming with half a burger stuck in. She managed to finish all of the 'Tater Tots, all the muffins, two-thirds of the chicken and downed a gallon of Coke while finishing 2 burgers, well almost as half was still stuck. Quite an impressive feat.
Next one down was Aomine with all burgers, chicken and Coke demolished but having half of his 'Tater Tots and muffins on his plate. He too was foaming at the mouth and his face was turning an unhealthy shade of green. He swallowed an indigestion tablet dry given to him by Kise and passed out cold on the table, dead to the world.
The remaining two 'survivors' seems to be doing fine, until Lauren stopped on her 10th burger after finishing everything else, only to rush to the bathroom and throw everything up.
Murasakibara, the only one standing (well, sitting) and still conscious had long ago finished all of the food available to him and had started eating a bag of chips that appeared out of his pocket (how the hell did that stay in one piece?!), he had already demolished half a bag without blinking an eye.
Akashi smirked at the outcome "It is our clear win as you can see. As you promised, never bother us again. If you fail to do so, punishment will be what you deserve."
FLASHBACK END
After that attempt, the interruptions stopped for a short period of time while the Glee Club took in the disastrous results of the eating competition (both of the challengers encountering a bout of severe stomachache and were absent for 3 days straight)
Shortly afterward the Glee club got really desperate and started to challenge the GoM to really ridiculous eating or drinking challenges, such as...
... A drinking challenge (FLASHBACK START) (a/n yes this is not a laughing matter, at least for the initiators of the challenge):
It was clear that the Glee Club was getting desperate if the were attempting to challenge the GoM to a drinking contest, especially with those conditions. THe challenger was Mike Chang Jr. and he was slightly shaking when he met with the giant and the captain of the GoM to speak about the challenge.
"I initiate this challenge as a drinking contest, the challengers get to choose any kind of drink they wish to, and drink as much as they want. If you lose, we get our club funds back and you pay for all the drinks used in this challenge."
"It's fine by our standards. But if the latter, if you lose; you will pay for all the expenses for this challenge and tell your group to stop initiating challenges until after the state finals. We are here to learn and gain experience; not to waste time on ridiculous challenges that we would always win in." Akashi bore a cold streak in his eyes and a slight air of annoyance as he spoke.
"This challenge will start tomorrow at noon, in our club room. You should give up before the challenge starts, you are going to go bankrupt before the end of all of this." and on that ominous note, Akashi strode off towards the dorms, leaving a dumbstruck Mike standing in the hall.
...
The next day came with the promise of more chaos in McKinely High. As the sun approached its high spot in the sky, the smell of green tea spread from the pantry and filled the halls and classrooms, making everyone who was not familiar to the scent wrinkle their noses.
On the other hand, a mega-sized cooler was dragged through the halls by a delivery man into the basketball club room, where a dark figure stood and signed the paper for payment.
As soon as the lunch bell rang, the Glee club burst through the door while the GoM were already sitting around a table. 2 full kettles of steaming green tea was placed on a pot holder and was surrounded by a vast number of drinks from... Maji Burger? That was a fast food chain unheard of for the New Directions, and who the hell would be able to finish all of these?!
"As you can see, Mike Chang Jr. over there proposed a drinking contest and his drink would be green tea. Our contestant would be Tetsuya, his drink would be vanilla milkshakes from a fast food chain in Japan called Maji Burger. We flew them over here with my private jet; so if you lose, you have a lot to pay for..." the GoM swore they could literally hear the devil chuckling in the background evilly.
Of course, when the New Directions saw that the opposite team were sending out Kuroko, they thought that they were just bluffing, they were all like; Seriously? Those guys sent a kid out?!
It was as if Kuroko learnt to read minds or something, everyone felt a chill run down their spines as Kuroko glared at the opposition, he didn't like being called a kid. No, he definetely did not like it. At all.

The challenge started with Kuroko slurping down a vanilla milkshake so quick that he practically broke the speed limit, meanwhile Mike chugged down the scalding tea so fast he was practically breathing smoke. His face was dark pink bordering red when he drank the second cup. The progress the two contestants made were mountians and oceans apart; Mike was halfway through his 3rd cup of tea while Kuroko was already demolishing his fifth milkshake.
15 minutes later...
Mike rushed out of the room towards the nearest bathroom after finishing half of his tenth cup of tea, which was now perched upon a table, stone cold. (a/n yeah if you didn't know before, tea contains caffeine which is a natural diuretic and gives you an urge to go to the toilet) Kuroko, on the other hand, was still going strong and was on his sixteenth milkshake with a few more to go.
"Let me take Asian No. 2's sudden disappearance as a withdrawal from the challenge. Good luck on paying the bill." On that happy note, the basketball players left the room with Kuroko taking the remaining milkshakes out of the room, the bill left on the table, the New Directions stared at the bill with empty eyes.
How many zeros are on that single bill?!
In fact, after that incident, not much people dared to mess with the GoM, even after they found out the bill on the table was a prank while the real one was sent to Will Schuester with an attached note on explaining the challenge and the outcome. The Glee Club got an earful from the teacher from being reckless and putting more on the line than worth it.
OMAKE:
"Tetsuya, I'm stemming your intake of milkshakes for a week."
"Eh, why Seijuurou-kun?"
"You got brain freeze after drinking all of those; even though you hid it well, I am absolute and I am the most observant when it comes to you, love."
"No, please don't do that..."
Arghhh... not that! Anything! Anything else but those puppy eyes!
"What's wrong, Seijuurou-kun? Are you ill? You've got a really red face."
"It's nothing, T-tetsuya..."
I'll leave the rest to your imaginations!
Once again, super sorry for not updating for nearly 3 months!
