Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Chapter 12.2 - Clubs

As I entered the classroom early in the morning, for the first time in the Academy, I saw students being excited and happy.

Normally their eyes would be dead, and most of them would enter the classroom with coffees in their hands, but today seemed to be an exception.

The usual hushed tones were replaced by animated conversations, and the air was charged with contagious enthusiasm. It seemed the prospect of joining clubs had ignited a spark of curiosity and anticipation among my fellow cadets.

"Did you see the Elemental Mages Society on the list? I'm totally joining that!"

"Elemental magic is cool and all, but I'm thinking of going for the Alchemical Engineering Club. Imagine creating potions and elixirs! To be honest, I think I can nail the money from there."

A group of students huddled near the holographic display that showcased the clubs, their fingers pointing at different icons as they discussed their interests.

"I heard the Swordmaster's Guild is super intense. I wonder if I can handle it."

"Are you kidding? I'm all about the Beast Tamer Guild. Forming bonds with mystical creatures? Count me in!"

The classroom was abuzz with anticipation, the students bonding over shared aspirations and exchanging thoughts on the various club options. Amid the conversations, the holographic clock on the wall marked the approaching time for the morning assembly.

But, first and foremost, the main cast was there sitting on the front seats, talking with each other.

"Which one are you going to join?" Lucas asked, his gaze wandering around Ethan and Carl.

"I will join Martial Arts and Student Council," Carl replied with a serious tone.

"What? Student Council?" Lucas' eyes were wide open, and that made sense. Joining the Student Council was something pretty hard since the seniors were pretty picky about their members.

"Yes. They offered me a position inside the disciplinary committee."

"For some reason, I can easily imagine you inside there," Lucas answered. "Bleagh…Boring."

Turning his gaze to Ethan, he asked. "Ethan, which one are you going to join?"

"…."

"Ethan?"

"…."

"From Elysiuma to Ethan. Are you here?" As Lucas finally raised his voice, Ethan responded with a groan.

"Ah… Sorry, I was thinking about something. What did you say?" however, he seemed lost, slightly.

'He is probably wondering why I behaved like that.'

I thought since Ethan was looking at me from time to time with a look of wonder, trying to understand me.

However, seeing this behavior, Lucas immediately put a grin on his face. "Ho…. It seems our Ethan couldn't sleep well last night. Is it because of a girl?" As he teased Ethan, he poked his arms. "If you want advice, this Grandfather here shall give you one."

"Hey…What are you saying? This is not a Wuxia Novel."

"It is not like that…. Just got something in my head." Taking Lucas' words seriously, Ethan shook his head.

"Tch…Anyway, I asked which clubs were you going to join?" Lucas repeated his question as he signaled the holograms.

I put my ear into their conversation since I wanted to confirm which clubs Ethan would be joining. Since there was no player here, I needed to know.

"Hmm… I was planning to join Spear Legacy Club and Adventure Exploration Club." Ethan answered, confirming my speculations.

"Adventure Exploration? I am joining that too." At that moment, Julia dived into the topic with her usual loud voice and cheerful expression.

And following that, it was Victor and Irina.

With their words, I basically confirmed that they were going to join the same clubs in the game.

'This is good.' I thought. 'The fewer variables are there, the more efficient my hunt is going to be.'

Just like that, I was about to turn my attention to the book I was reading, but suddenly I felt a slight gaze on me.

'Hmm?' As my senses were picky, I turned my head to the side where the gaze came from, and there I could see the two girls looking at me.

Though, don't misunderstand. Rather than looking at me favorably, if gazes could kill, I would be murdered.

'Friends of Sylvie. Bunch of little kids.'

Scoffing at them in my head, I returned my head.

CREAK

At that moment, the door opened, revealing the same serious woman.

Eleanor White entered the classroom. Her presence commanded attention, and the students instinctively straightened their postures.

"Good morning, cadets," her voice resonated, her gaze sweeping across the room. The anticipation in the air seemed to amplify in her presence.

"I see that the prospect of joining clubs has generated quite the buzz among you," she continued, her tone measured. "Today, I will provide you with more information about the clubs available within our academy and the process for joining them."

A holographic display activated at the front of the room, projecting a list of clubs along with brief descriptions and icons representing each one.

"From the Swordmaster's Guild to the Alchemical Engineering Club, the options are varied to cater to your individual interests and strengths. Whether you're drawn to combat, magic, exploration, or the arts, there's a club that aligns with your passions."

Eleanor's gaze settled on the students, her stern expression softening slightly. "Participating in a club is not just about skill development. It's an opportunity to foster camaraderie, exchange knowledge, and grow as individuals. The friendships you form here may accompany you throughout your hunter journey. Therefore, as the instructors of the academy and the management, we highly recommend you join at least one of the clubs."

She paused, allowing her words to sink in before continuing. "For those interested in joining a club, there will be a Club Fair held today. Each club will showcase its activities, and you'll have the chance to interact with current members and learn more about their goals."
