With an attitude as if he owned the place, Jun swung open the door to the Arcade shop. A bright grin on his face, he spoke "Takemori Arcade! Get ready, because the The Once in A Century Genius is here!", he spoke those words as if they would draw the attention of the entire room to him like some sort of cowboy entering a salon in an Old Western movie. Unfortunately, that didn't happen as everyone else was too busy taking care of their own business. The boy frowned in annoyance at his lack of recognition and scanned around the room. There was the usual Gunpla stands for customers to buy, along with some tables for people to sit in. At the moment it seemed like someone was doing a showcase for beginners and kids, "Hehe, showing kids the ropes huh? How nice, I gotta make sure to treat my siblings just as kindly too."
Affirming that comment to himself with a smirk, he looked around again for a certain someone. "Looks like that Asakura Kai guy isn't here yet. Hm, well I didn't get first place in the track race for nothing," Jun remarked coolly, thinking back about how once he heard about the tournament, he immediately ran here at full speed. There was something else he had to find though, and there it was at the back of the store, the sign up sheet! Of course, it was made obvious by the small group of people going to sign up for it. Without waiting, he made his way there and called out for them loud enough to hear him "Hey! I'm just going to say this once, if you aren't going to try your best to win then don't even bother joining up! Takamaki, Jun is only interested in the toughest challenge!". A daring grin for all to see.
This certainly drew some irritated gazes his direction, which he was used to.
"Hey, who does this loud mouth brat think he is?" one of them commented in the back.
"Probably just some Chuunibyou geek who watched too much Gundam and thinks he's a NewType or something." another person responded dismissively.
"Wait, hold on, isn't that 'Shark'!?" someone said in shock.
"Shark!? For real!? He's joining too!?" several people whispered amongst themselves in surprise at the young competitor that was making a name for himself around the area.
Normally, this would have gassed up Jun's ego to be recognized, but that wasn't exactly the case. Jun sighed depressingly, "This 'Shark' stuff again? Agh, come on, no it's suppose to be 'The Once in A Century Genius, Takamaki Jun'!" he muttered to himself, as he wrote that exact title onto the sign-up sheet.
