Student Clubs

Wednesday, July 7

So the next morning, the morning Claude promised, after having taken a lecture from Teacher No . 3, some went to cla.s.ses happily, some gloomily .

"By the way, are you all in a club?"

Constantine summoned Tyre"s gang and asked .

Tyre shook his head, while the others shared cheerfully .

"I joined the Night Dance Club and the Costume Club," said Bayun Xiaoqi . Constantine held his chin and judged,

"If I recall, Night Dance Club is a place for dark sorcerers, right? It does suit you, but why do you join the costume club?"

"Personal interests, why? Got a problem?"

"No, of course not . What about you, Sand Sword?" Constantine and Sand Sword and the gang got closer after yesterday"s teamwork . Now they talked like close friends, which was one of things that Constantine was good at .

"I love martial arts, so I joined the Strength Club and Knife Club . "

"Knife Club… You are actually using a wide-edged sword? "Constantine wondered . Sand Sword nodded slightly and took a huge wide-edged sword out of his storage ring .

"This is my partner . But I can"t give up on knife skills that Mr . Tyre taught me . So I"ve been treating it like a broadsword . "

"Good idea . How about you, b.u.t.terfly?" Constantine turned to the lovely but determined girl .

Roselle b.u.t.terfly was known as b.u.t.terfly to her best friends . Her full name was rarely used nowadays . She knew it very well that her full name may be a burden for her before she became independently strong .

"I joined the Sword Club if you ask . "

"Only one? But anyway Sword Club is by far the largest . It is good enough to join this one . " Said Constantine, who seemed to know everything . He looked at Elena who came around in a while, asking,

"What are you talking about?"

Everyone sighed .

"Don"t stop me, Constantine, Sand Sword! I must teach this silly elf a lesson today . " Tyre was stopped by Constantine and Sand Sword . Elena seemed to be thinking of something . She suddenly took a tumble and clapped her hands,

"I know now . I"d like to have Vermillion food today . "

Crack! Lunaria broke the pencil in hand on the other end . Darmiala and Yexi, who were writing magic formula composition with Lunaria, were confused by her behavior .   "No, it"s all right . " Lunaria took out another pencil from her storage ring and began to write, but the horrible air around her was obvious for Darmiala and Yexi .

"All right, Tyre, it"s enough . She is an elf . We should understand that she needs to learn a lot in this strange human world . " Constantine tried to calm Tyre down, and so did Sand Sword who winked at b.u.t.terfly . b.u.t.terfly immediately understood and then whispered to Elena"s ears .

The elf finally knew what was going on and said happily,

"This time I actually found an ally . "

"An ally?"

"Yes, I didn"t know there were a lot of pro-human clubs at Avalon, like Elven Club . Avalon also exchanges students with Elf Empire . Elves are particularly rare at the college . "

This was good news . Tyre, who had been extremely angry, was much relieved . Now Elena didn"t need to hide her secret at school anymore .

Yet Tyre himself was still hiding behind a mask .

"I know this in fact . Not only elves, dwarfs, orcs, or any kinds half-human are allowed to study at Avalon as long as they mean seriously to . The only thing is that they are not very welcomed here . The situation is better for elves because they look no much different from human beings . Those species such as half-tiger or orcs which look much unlike humans are not favored by students . They were isolated in the school, which is also why we don"t see them a lot . " 

"You are right . Actually orcs are very modest . They are the friendliest in the club . Although they fought against elves in history, they are now friendly to communicate with each other . "

"The world is developing . If everyone is still stuck with the past, the world wouldn"t be as much civilized as it is now . " Constantine had an open mind . But an elf enjoying having a conversation with orcs was a different story . Elena was such peculiar elf, whose brain must be lacking of something .

"What about you, Ghost Slayer? How are you doing?"

"Well, actually I am considering joining News Club, although I already joined Lurker"s Club . "

"Good! Very ambitious young man! Come and join me in the News Club . With my intelligence and journalistic sense, as well as your lurking ability and agile skills, we will surely do something big in the club . " Constantine put his hands on Ghost Slayer"s shoulder, eyes shining bright .

Encouraged by Constantine, Ghost Slayer nodded hard and became much more confident,

"Dude, I will count on you in the club . "

"Sure thing . Sure thing . The last one, Claude, right? Claude! Claude!"

"Ah? What"s the matter?"

"Which club are you would you like to join in?"

"Club? Magic and Sword Club . What?"

"Well, nothing . Just curious . How"s our group name thing?" As soon as Constantine asked, everyone got intense . They were prepared for a strange and shocking name coming out of Claude"s mouth .

Claude nodded hard this time and said,

"I finally came up with a good one just now . "

"Oh? Tell us then . " said Constantine, taking a step back .

Claude smiled and when he was about to speak, Bayun Xiaoqi suddenly cut in,

"Wait . I need a minute for this . " Bayun Xiaoqi took a deep breath and said calmly,

"Go ahead . "

"Come on . It is not a fight . Don"t worry . I am sure the name would bout it!" Claude smiled confidently like he usually did,

"The name of the group is . . .
