Randy VIII let out a growl, though it wasn't very intimidating given his size, and pounced.

[Red Lion]

The older boy extended his fist to try and hit Randy VIII...

[uncledaddy]

Before he could do so, Randy VIII was pummeling him left and right. One of the teachers was already rushing to the scene, calling for them to stop, but Randy VIII didn't seem to hear him and kept snarling and swinging until he'd been pulled away by the teacher.

[Red Lion]

Seven got up and tried to calm his brother, "Easy Baby Boy! It's ok! I ain't hurt bad!"

[uncledaddy]

Randy VIII uttered a final growl as he started to settle down. All three boys were brought inside to tell what had happened and receive any medical attention they may have needed.

[Red Lion]

Seven recounted the incident from the point where Randy VIII had shared his candy up until the arrival of the teacher. The older boy confessed to egging them on but tried to say it was all a joke.

[uncledaddy]

Randy VIII snapped his teeth at the other boy, daring him to "joke" that way again... And thus at the end of the school day, Seven and Eight got their first call home from school.

[Red Lion]

Seven shifted from foot to foot, wondering if his father would be angry with them....

[uncledaddy]

Randy quietly assessed the situation as he looked them over, scanning them mentally and making sure that neither was badly injured. He seemed more intrigued than upset. "Why didn't you stop when the teacher was coming?" he asked Randy VIII, who looked down at the ground and shrugged.
"He... he asked for it," he muttered, not wanting to get into trouble but far from apologetic.

[Red Lion]

"He just got mad that's all!" said Seven stepping between his father and brother, "Don't be upset with him!"

[uncledaddy]

Randy eyed the two of them for a moment, then reached down and gave Seven a gentle pat. "I am not upset," he replied, "but I do not want any more trouble out of my boys if they can help it. Understood?" Randy VIII nodded, though he wasn't making any promises and Randy seemed to know it.

[Red Lion]

Seven nodded, "I'll do my best!" he promised.

[uncledaddy]

Randy smiled a bit. "I know you will." He made a mental note to keep a close eye on Randy VIII...

[Red Lion]

Seven smiled and took his brother's hand, "C'mon Eight! I wanna show you the frog I found!"

[uncledaddy]

Randy VIII perked up immediately and followed after him, while Randy went to write a few notes on what had happened for the sake of observation. He doubted it would be the only such incident, and with good reason...

Randy VIII was soon categorized as warrior class, and made to attend regular gym training sessions with his father. However, it didn't end there, as despite regular training, Eight seemed more inclined toward aggression than was normal even for warrior-class Schickelgrubers. He was eager to turn small quarrels into much bigger fights, and was never satisfied to let his opponents back out.
During one fight in particular, he pressed the other boy's face against the ground and sat on top of him. "How do you like eatin' dirt, you baby?" he jeered, attempting to rile the boy so that he'd continue fighting back despite the fact that he was already quite badly beaten. Eight swatted at the back of the boy's head until he tried to raise himself and take a swing at him, which was all the excuse Eight needed to shove him back down to the ground, knocking out one of his teeth.

[Red Lion]

When the incidents occurred around Seven he'd try to calm his younger brother down, even to the point of physically restraining him, a task that was becoming increasingly difficult as time went by...
