Parmesan, a General Mage by trade, entered an inn named the Den of the Seven Vales, hoping to get a drink and a room to stay the night. The candlelights around him flickered as he scanned the noisy room for a table. He spied a table that only had one occupant, a hooded figure who seemed intent on killing himself with alcohol, judging from the numerous pitchers of ale strewn all over the table in front of him.

Approaching the table, Parmesan looked at the hooded figure and asked for permission to sit with him, but all he got was a slurred reply which he took to be consent. Settling down, he cleared some space on the table and asked what troubled the hooded figure, to which the hooded figure replied...

"Ken... saissss."

The effect was almost immediate. The whole inn hushed into silence at the mere mention of the word. Parmesan recoiled in horror hearing the word.

"Stuuuupid stinking Kensais..." the hooded figure continued to slur, "Think they so good... think they better than me... NO! Not better than me! ME BEST! ME!"

It was then that the hooded figure burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably on the table. Parmesan hestitated for a moment, before he asked what had happened.

"Stupid Kensai betted with me... say he better at ranged attacks than me... of course I laugh! Me Ranger! Me Archer! But... but..."

Lips quivering, the hooded figure reached from his left pocket under his cloak, revealing a broken bow.

"Useless junk."

Reaching from his right pocket, he revealed a broken crossbow.

"Even more useless..."

It was then that a voice piped out from another table, another hooded figure stood on his stool and shouted out loud, "I feel your pain, brother! I, Kipper, a Thief by trade, got humilated by some pompous Kensai->Thief! Stupid Kensais indeed!"

"Yeah! I'm a victim too! Kensai->Druids are so lame!"

One by one, patrons in the inn starting standing up and condemning the Kensais, till Parmesan could stand it no more and had to join in too, "I too... have been victimised by a Kensai->Mage. Damn them... damn them all."

Everybody in the inn roared in approval, and it was on that fateful night, that the Kill Kensai Society was born... ...

Actually I wanted Kill Krappy Kensais, but I felt it might prove too provocative.
