There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 40

16. Established a club (1)

【Did you build an educational institution on an island that was encroached by the Magi? Humans also had great ideas.]

Lioner’s voice resounded in his head.

He seemed to like Arthur’s Faculty quite a bit. In terms of topography and architectural form, he praised it as an impregnable fortress.

I calmed the excited spirit and asked inside.

‘Why don’t you materialize it like last time? Because then I can’t really fix it.’

【Hold on to your worries. It was because Camilla and you were one-on-one, and if it had been someone you didn’t know in the first place, you wouldn’t have appeared.]

When I think back on what happened last time, I breathe a sigh of relief.

On the day of the first contract with the spirit, Camilla also found out about the existence of the spirit because the Lioner appeared at will.

-Okay. I will keep this fact a secret.

-thank you.

He was a fool because he was someone he could trust. Even if it was a fact that would be revealed later, I hated getting attention already.

Think about it.

Suddenly, a spirit appears, and the first contractor is Naran. And that spirit is none other than the 4th Star Lioner.

Looking at Illyana’s reaction, it’s almost impossible to predict how many people’s eyes will be drawn to her as she is treated as a legendary being.

Perhaps even an ordinary life is impossible?

It’s a life of being questioned surrounded by huge crowds all day long. My body was trembling with fear.

‘By the way, no one else who signed the Spirit Contract has appeared yet?’

【Well, at least it looks like this here. If you don’t have a proper bowl… … Humans may not have noticed yet.]

Well, it’s too early for a contractor to appear already.

It’s only been 3 days since I fixed the missing machine. Rumors are slowly circulating, but it seems that not many people have confirmed the reality yet.

I haven’t heard anything from Lorna Aztel, who is currently attending Ortana.

It’s kind of funny that the warriors first noticed what the wizards didn’t understand.

【Besides, a contract with a spirit of the 1st or 2nd rank would be meaningless. In order to be usable with full power, I have to be in the 3rd Star.]

As elemental art is a new concept, I was able to get a lot of information from Lioner too.

Aspects of spirits are said to be from 1st to 5th.

Likewise, the lower the number, the weaker the power and the more primitive the spirit.

I was also told that most of the spirits that execute contracts through the spirit tree are 3 stars or higher.

【Anyway, you should know that you are blessed. Because the first spirit I met was me, the Lioner]

‘You must be like that.’

To be honest, it didn’t matter if the spirit was added or not, so there wasn’t much to be thankful for.

After shrugging and blatantly ignoring it, the Lioner growled and annoyed me.

【You seem like a cheeky contractor.】

The reaction was very interesting. Isn’t it originally said that respect is mutually established?

There is no reason to accept each and every one of them even though it is not a relationship between the two of them as stated on paper.

Besides, now was not the time to pay attention to each Lioner. Because I had to do something much more important than that.

That’s club registration.

As I have emphasized every time, clubs are an essential element for full-fledged activities at Nakwon School.

However, the period for new students to create a new club and register is up to this week.

Until then, we had to fill in 4 people except for the manager, which is the minimum limit.

That’s why I’m wandering the hallway aimlessly with my club membership list in one hand.

“Camila and George have it, now the two remaining are the problem.”

I asked other comrades, but it seemed like they had already joined a club or they were opening a new club among themselves.

Even though the relationship went smoothly.

As everyone who asked questions was rejected, the feeling of disappointment was unavoidable.

‘Damn, did you think it would be this hard to make a club?’

In the original scenario, you can open a club in the form of taking most of the members at the time of attacking the Hisperiif dungeon.

The reason I remembered Beltane and Robin was that it was the norm to include them as early members.

【You can just choose anyone.】

“No, you must have the minimum qualifications.”

According to the plan, I had to sweep various dungeons, so I wanted to make up only those who had their combat power verified.

It was a disappointment if an accident occurred after bringing in under-represented people to fill the number of people.

Even if it’s only Camilla and George right now, their skills are second to none.

Camila was the person who would become the 17th head of the family in the future, and was steadily getting stronger even now. You’re probably getting pretty good grades in the advanced classes too.

George Madeleine has also been training steadily. Perhaps the fortress had learned the virtue of humility, and there was no way to be vigilant even in light battles.

I know that he has been honing his own rapier technique quite a bit.

In other words, I needed a member who would fall into the category of a trustworthy ‘companion’.

‘Wait, come to think of it, you don’t have to be limited to Arthur’s school, right?’

Wouldn’t it be possible to recruit Robin, a member of Arin’s faculty, even if it were just Aidan right now?

I made a stupid mistake. In this way, it is no different from Elka, who insisted on only warriors.

“Then I’ll have to ask Tae-Hoon and So-Young!”

I immediately turned to the rehearsal hall of the keys.

* * *

“Are you talking about the club? Ah… well.”

“Why? Have you decided to join another club?”

“That’s… we were also planning to open a separate club.”

Next to Tae-hoon, who was in trouble, So-young helped.

“What club?”

“It’s a martial arts club.”

That’s right, they were fighters.

Even in real universities, they often join clubs related to their fields of interest or their majors.

For example, a coding club in the computer science department or a volunteer club in the social welfare department.

Of course, there are exceptions, but in reality, Paradise School was no different. The preferred clubs differ according to the faculty, personal interests, origins and races.

Right now, even in Elka, didn’t he open a club called ‘Brothers of Snow’ in the Arthur Faculty, made up of personnel from the northern region?

Therefore, it was not surprising that two promising fighters from Geumgangmun formed a ‘Martial Arts Club’.

“Then there is nothing I can do.”

I gave up neatly and turned around. There’s no way to turn it around, and there’s no justification.

“Ah! That, Baek San-woo?”

“yes??”

“If you haven’t been able to find people, are you thinking of joining our club?”

Rather, try recruiting… … .

Looking at their attitude, it seemed that there was no one there either.

“Why? Don’t you guys already have many members?”

As if he was taken aback by my question, Taehoon swallowed his saliva in a complicated way.

“It’s… it’s unexpectedly not well-received.”

“A martial arts club? There are many other fighters.”

In fact, to me, it was nonsense for the two of them to worry about these things. Just looking at it right now, there are three fighters who are training in the gymnasium.

There are more than ten fighters I’ve seen in my own training so far, but there’s no way the ‘Martial Arts Club’ lacks manpower.

“But most of them said that they had already joined other clubs.”

“okay?”

“Yes, the purpose of the martial arts club is good, but there are many people who want to be interested in other things as well.”

Actually, how many clubs are there that look interesting on campus?

If it weren’t for the additional stats that can be obtained by registering as a club leader, I would have seriously considered joining another club.

Looking at it like that, Tae-Hoon and So-Young’s martial arts clubs are definitely boring.

“Thanks for the advice, but I’m sorry.”

I just cut it off and refused. The two of them were good friends, but I can’t give up my will for private compassion.

My club was not meant to be limited to any specific field, but to pursue extreme freedom and wealth accumulation.

The name is FLEX club.

Attacking dungeons, gathering advanced alchemy materials, collecting rare artifacts, etc.

Use all methods that exist in the game to earn goods and lead a stable life.

It is a kind of for-profit club.

There is no problem with the ‘Potion Pension’ club, which manufactures potions and sells them on consignment to the private sector, or the ‘Hunting’ club, which focuses on systematic dungeon attack as the main activity.

At that moment, an idea worthy of the club’s purpose flashed through my mind.

‘If I cook this well, I think you can bring it to me?’

* * *

“Wait, what is the purpose of establishing a martial arts club?”

“I was thinking of strengthening friendships between fighters and fighting each other.”

Taehoon immediately answered Baek San-woo’s question. He had a strange expression on his face, as if he didn’t like something.

“Is the purpose too unclear?”

“yes?”

“Think about it, I heard that martial arts strengthen friendships… Do you need to sabotage friendships? Don’t you all know and get along?”

“Ugh!!!”

I thought so.

There is a limited number of people who use the exercise hall of the keys.

In the yard where all faculties have their own training ground, the reason they dare to gather at the gym is simply to practice ‘Martial Arts’ apart from education.

Even if it’s not in the realm of a club, it’s like they already know each other.

“It’s the same reason for the second time. Dalian is what we usually do. Don’t you think there’s no need to go into a club and carry on a match?”

“Yeah, I guess that’s right!”

Taehyung nods his head vigorously. To him, everything Baek San-woo said was correct.

As So-young listened quietly, she began to think that there was a strange truth.

“In the end, clubs are also a matter of interest. Even if you are a fighter, if you don’t have fun, you won’t join.”

Sanwoo wiggled his fingers and added. His appearance was surprisingly professional, Taehoon grabbed his hand and shouted.

“Then what should I do?”

“Is it supposed to induce interest? It doesn’t seem like a bad idea to plan a small event or an event. Of course, you have to bet on the right prizes as well.”

“It’s an event, it’s an event…”

“Actually, there are some events planned.”

This time, Soyoung stepped forward and said. Tae-Hoon was not used to conveying and receiving information in this way.

It was always Soyoung’s job to make a detailed plan and remember the details.

“I was planning to hold the world’s best martial arts competition…,” as you said.

Geumgangmun achieves the harmony of the heart through a special pattern handed down from the family.

Among such patterns, Taebaek was the one that affected the visual acuity of the body and the movement of the muscles.

It’s not like a treasure, but it’s something you can’t get for free. If you tell the family, you may be able to give one away.

“But only then… it seems like we won’t be able to form a club, let alone a tournament.”

It was really sad for Soyoung. It was because he thought it was a good opportunity to build friendships and grow himself.

At that moment, Baek San-woo’s eyes lit up.

“Martial arts competition? Do you have any plans to expand it to the school level, not the club level?”

“Yes? If that’s possible…”

Soyoung expressed her doubts at the appearance of Baek San-woo, who expands the stage without suggesting a solution.

It would be great if it could be opened at the school level, but what can they do as they are only freshmen in the first year?

Without help from the school level, this would not have been possible.

“Then let’s do it.”

As if that’s not a big deal, Baek Sanwoo throws his words out.

“Sanwoo-sama! Do you have a way!?”

“If I have a relationship with Dean Irkan Bradamante? It’s not a bad idea, and if I tell him, I think I’ll get support from the school level…”

Baek San-woo fiddles with his chin and turns his gaze away. For Tae-Hoon and So-Young, it was a golden opportunity.

If you can hold a competition, it will naturally become a promotion for the club.

“Sanwoo-nim! You’re really amazing!”

“Instead, there is a condition. I can’t do anything for free either.”

“What is it?”

Baek San-woo pointed a finger at the two of them and smiled.

“The two of you joining my club.”
