Chapter 59: Let’s Make a Club (3)
There was a slight problem.
Ernest was lagging behind.
“Haa, haa!”
Unlike Leila and me, Ernest had not yet awakened his magic power. Because of this, he was quite inferior physically, and the gap between him and the pests from the Physical Beauty Club was gradually closing.
“D-Dane! I can’t! You go first!”
I couldn’t let that happen. The basic rule for founding a club was that all founding members must register together.
“Haha! Catch the one who falls behind first!”
“President, he looks a bit shabby though?”
“Everyone has muscles! Muscles just need to be built up! Even someone shabby like that can turn into a great man in a few months!”
Ernest looking back with a strangely interested expression was probably just my illusion.
“M-muscles…?”
Anyway, I wondered what to do about Ernest, who was falling behind. I couldn’t force him to run. If I used magic power on him directly, I didn’t know what might happen. Subduing someone was one thing, but I hadn’t reached ‘that level’ yet.
Then一
“Answer my call.”
I had no choice but to call on the only one I could summon.
“Aaaack!”
Ernest was startled and rolled on the floor when Gendpu suddenly appeared.
“Ernest, get on. Gendpu. Please take care of him.”
“Krkkk!”
Gendpu went over to Ernest, who had just gotten up, and lowered his body as if telling him to get on. Ernest jumped on Gendpu’s back in a panic.
“Aaaaack! S-Save me!”
They were so fast.
“P-president! Wh-what is that?”
“Oh my god! With that kind of frame, he can even summon! He’s a talent that must be captured!”
Should I have just attacked with Gendpu?
“Waaaa! Dane, he’s so fast!”
In the meantime, Ernest seemed to have adapted quickly.
“Dane, can you bring your summons out at the academy?”
“I don’t know. It should be fine if I don’t get caught.”
Anyway, Gendpu ran down the street like that, and Leila and I followed him. When we had gained some distance, I stopped Gendpu and unsummoned him.
Whine.
“See you next time.”
I felt sorry for not calling him for a proper reason, but what could I do in such an urgent situation?
“Let’s run to the student affairs office.”
“What on earth is this?”
“Ouch, my butt.”
We ran to the student affairs office, barely keeping some distance, and finally succeeded in arriving there. I grabbed the first person I saw and spoke quickly.
“Some weirdos are chasing us. Please call the student council immediately.”
“W-weirdos?”
The man who appeared to be a faculty member, looked at the members of the Physical Beauty Club chasing after us and then, as if understanding the situation, took out his crystal ball hurriedly. In the meantime, we practically slid into the office.
“What is—oh my. Dane Sogres?”
“I’ve come to resubmit my club application. I’ve already filled out the paperwork.”
“What about the professor recommendation?”
“Professor Kelthas Redfield, the dean of the Autonomous Department, has vouched for us. He has promised to come and sign the recommendation as soon as possible.”
The faculty member in charge looked a little dubious at my words but soon nodded.
“Yes, I understand. I will believe it since it’s you. If this is a lie—”
“Whether it’s suspension or expulsion, I will take full responsibility. I promise on the honor of House Sogres.”
The staff member looked surprised when I brought up my family’s honor.
“N-n need to go to that extent… Anyway, I understand. I’ll check the documents. The three people who will found the club are… Leila Thermion, a first-year student from the Swordsmanship Department, and Ernest Dylan, a first-year student from the Exploration Department. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Yes!”
“The club name field is blank?”
I wrote down whatever came to mind.
“Please register this name.”
“Oh, yes. The club name is…”
Bang!
Just then, the door opened and the pests from the Physical Beauty Club came running in.
“Dane Sogres! You won’t be able to run away any longer! Hahaha!”
“Just give up and join our club! Letting your bones rot away is a loss for all of humanity!”
A sigh was heard from behind them.
“It’s them again.”
It seemed like this wasn’t the first or second time this had happened.
“Just go,” I said nicely.
However, it looked like the pests had no intention of giving up.
“Do you think I’ll just back down, Dane Sogres? I’m going to make you a member of the Physical Beauty Club!”
Was that shiny substance on their bodies oil or sweat? Hoping to never find out, I pointed behind me.
“Really? What should I do? I just created a club.”
For a moment, the president’s face twisted into a frown.
“What?”
“I made a club. I’m so sorry, but what can you do? I don’t think I can join the Physical Beauty Club.”
“S-such an unfair…”
The president trembled as if he had been scammed. Then the faculty member behind him intervened.
“The club creation process has been completed.”
Immediately afterward, the office door opened and a loud voice was heard saying, “Physical Beauty Club, I’ve finally caught you!”
It was a member of the student council. His eyes were fierce, and it seemed like he had suffered just as much as everyone else.
“I can finally arrest you, those who are disrupting the peace of the Academy and causing public unrest!”
“D-damn it!”
“It was hard because you were spread out like a net, but now I finally caught you!”
They were hard to catch because they were spread out like a net? Why didn’t he just catch any guy that looked muscular and troublesome? It was at that moment that I questioned the capabilities of the student council.
“P-president! What should we do?”
“We have to run! The moment they catch us, our plan to fill the entire Academy with a wave of muscles will be disrupted!”
They had such a big dream. Wouldn’t it be faster for the academy to collapse?
“Quick, the smokescreen!”
Bang!
At that moment, a smoke bomb suddenly exploded and the room was filled with chaos in an instant.
“Cough! Cough! It’s smoke again!”
“Shit! Grab them!”
Laughter echoed through the smoke.
“Hahaha! You idiots! Come and catch us if you can!”
But I could see them. No, I could sense them. The pests from the Physical Beauty Club were trying to escape through the smoke during the chaos.
“S-stop those guys!”
Amidst the desperate cries of the student council members, I gathered my magic power.
Whoong一
I directed my mana toward the exit. The magic power that had been cast like a curtain became a solid wall, blocking the pests from the Physical Beauty Club as they were about to leave.
“Wh-what?!”
“What the hell, we’re stuck!”
“The door is definitely open!”
They tried to push forward, bumping into each other like a tangle of muscles, but it didn’t seem to work.
2-chain magic, «Magic Barrier».
“Gather your magic power and push!”
“It’s not working, it won’t budge!”
“President, what should we do?”
I could tell these pests were using a lot of strength from the tremendous vibrations being transmitted through the barrier.
The spell was truly worthy of its name.
It seemed all their muscles weren’t for show, but there was no way out.

Rattle.
I walked towards the back and opened the window, and thanks to that the smoke began to clear. The pests from the Physical Beauty Club could be seen struggling in front of the door.
“You bastards! Cough! Block them so they can’t go out!”
Only then did the student council members come to their senses and run toward the Physical Beauty Club members
After a while…
“D-Damn it! I got caught!”
“Hahaha! I finally got you!”
All members of the Physical Beauty Club were arrested, strung together like fish on magic ropes.
The person who appeared to be the leader of the student council was delighted, with an expression on his face that showed signs of at least thirty years of fatigue being erased.
“I can finally hand you pests who disrupt the order and peace of the Academy over to the disciplinary committee!”
“To get caught by you lot, with your flabby muscles… What a disgrace to the Physical Beauty Club!”
“What the heck! The door was definitely open!”
In the midst of this, the head of the student council members approached me.
“Hey, freshman. Did you help out?”
“That’s right.”
“Thank you. Your name is… No, judging by the hair, it looks like you are the freshman everyone’s talking about. Dane Sogres.”
The leader stretched out a hand and I shook it.
“I really appreciate you helping me catch those evil bodybuilders. I’ve been chasing them for an entire year.”
He’d been chasing those idiots for a whole year? That made me question the qualifications of the Academy’s student council.
“They are very cunning and meticulous. When they think they’ll be caught, they escape, and it is not uncommon for them to cut off their tails. But now that we have caught the president, the Physical Beauty Club won’t be able to cause chaos.”
“That’s ridiculous! How pitiful of you! To not know the beauty of muscles!”
“President! As expected of you!”
I shook my head. I didn’t really have any desire to join the student council, but at this moment, I agreed with the student council.
“Anyway, I would like to express my deepest gratitude on behalf of those who were harmed by the Physical Beauty Club. In that sense, our Student Council will actively cooperate if you, Dane Sogres, request assistance.”
“Oh, alright.”
“Of course, it will be even more so if you join the student council!”
When a subtle sales offer came in, I turned back to the other two.
“Things are resolved, aren’t they?”
“Did you make the club because of those muscleheads?”
‘Leila, you sharp girl.’
“Well, I can’t say they weren’t part of the reason… but isn’t it important that we created it? Honestly, it would be annoying no matter which other club we joined.”
Leila seemed convinced, as if I wasn’t wrong. “Yeah, well. It’s a bit disappointing, but whatever. We can just have fun.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ernest nodded, saying, “That’s right. I’m so excited! What should we do first? Exploration? Or training? I’m up for anything!”
Now that I thought about it, I needed to think about what to do.
“Let’s start by solving the map we got. We’ll think about the rest then.”
“Alright!”
“Alright. Wait. Then who’s the president?”
I tilted my head at Leila’s question, “Obviously it’s me, right?”
“… Is that how it is?”
“Well, that’s because I said I would make it.”
“Hmm. I see.”
I offered a suggestion to Leila, who seemed to be feeling a bit down. “Leila, how about you be the Vice President?”
“Well, if you insist.”
I also made an offer to Ernest, who seemed equally down. “How about Ernest as the executive director?”
“Execution… director?”
“Yeah. You’ll decide on the execution of various events and budgets. I’ve been thinking about it since I decided to create a club.”
Actually, I just made it up.
“By the way, it’s an incredibly important position.”
Actually, there wasn’t much to do right now.
“Y-you’ll really entrust me with such an important task?” Ernest asked me with surprised eyes.
There were only three of us, so what could you execute? Still, proper process was necessary.
I put my hand on Ernest’s shoulder with a very serious expression on my face and stated, “You can do it. I don’t think there’s anyone better suited for the job than you.”
Because he was the only one left.
“Dane… Can I really do this?”
“The position makes the man. If you adapt to it, it will happen. Of course, even if it doesn’t, you will do well.”
“…!”
Ernest nodded with a rather serious expression on his face. “I’ll try my best.”
“Good.”
With this, even the most difficult position problem was easily resolved. I thought it was because they were children.
I felt a little guilty.
“Anyway, let’s get together when we have time.”
“Alright!”
“So now we’re in the club, too!”
“To be exact, we made it.”
Sword training.
Exploration.
Everything else.
My club activities, which were called the ‘flower’ of academy life, had begun.
“Don’t resist! Come along!”
“This doesn’t mean our muscles will disappear!”
“Muscle or whatever, just worry about the disciplinary actions you’ll be facing!”
Was it because those annoying pests who caused so many issues were being dragged away? For some reason, it felt like a good day.
By the way, it had only been a few days since I started school, so why was this happening?
“Dane, what are you going to do now?”
“Me? I’m going back to the dorm.”
I pointed to my chest in response to Leila’s question.
“I need to feed this little one.”
“Oh right!”
“I forgot about him!”
Leila and Ernest grabbed me excitedly.
“Show me quickly!”
“M-me too!”
I looked at the two and shrugged helplessly.
“Not here. Let’s get out of here.”
“Yeah!”
“Y-yeah!”
