Episode 706
âGreat!â
The clubâs seniors were impressed by Lee Hanâs words.
I never thought students who had just entered their second year would react so sensitively to an attack by a skeleton principal.
This yearâs Blue Dragon Tower second-year students already possessed the virtues necessary for Einrogard.
âItâs a good attitude. âThe principal is going to attack me a few times this week already.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han and his friendsâ expressions darkened after hearing information they did not want to know.
The club seniors talked without knowing the inner thoughts of the second-year juniors.
âArenât the Blue Dragon Tower students this year ordinary? How do you feel Perse?â
âHeh. I wonât deny it. ruler. âLetâs all get moving.â
Perse pointed to the other side of the door leading to the common lounge.
If you go down the path that leads to the hills and slopes, you come across a large village.
Even on the vast 7th floor, it was the âOutcast Village,â an autonomous area and home for students that played the most important role.
The second-year students looked mesmerized at the sight of a large village filled with complex and bizarre buildings that were difficult to guess whether they were made of stone, wood, or any other material.
No matter how accustomed I was to Einrogardâs abnormal life, I couldnât help but be surprised to see such a huge area appear on one floor and a thriving village.
âLook at that mansion over there. Lee Han. Itâs moving! âIt has legs!â
Gainando opened his eyes wide and shouted.
A mansion that emits smoke from its chimney and moves on its own legs.
Looking at that, I realized that all the wonderful villas I had thought of until now were wrong.
A truly wonderful villa is one that moves and clanks like thatâ¦!
âYou guys are crazy!â
âThat damn thing again and again!â
The seniors who were guiding the second-year students were swearing.
âMoving mansions were clearly banned! âEven after that accident last time, I still do it!â
-Those bastards again! Canât you stop right now?
-You idiots who refuse change! You guys are not qualified to be wizards⦠Sigh!
The mansion, which was moving and emitting smoke, suddenly tilted and began to explode.
As the surrounding area collapsed due to the explosion, students in other buildings nearby came out one by one and started swearing.
-You damned bastard!
-I saw your face! This time Iâm really putting a bounty on you!
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
As the atmosphere became dark, Lee Han spoke up to change the topic.
âBut why is it called Outcast Village?â
âHmm. As far as I know, this town started with a building built hundreds of years ago by a senior who failed to graduate while running away from the principalâs pursuitâ¦â âIt would be better to ask something else.
â
It was an answer that seemed to make the atmosphere darker.
âSo that village is used by seniors?â
âokay. You can use as much as you want. However, the building needs to be saved. Even though it looks like there are so many, there are only a few usable buildings. âIt will have to be suppressed or eliminated.â
ââ¦You mean suppression and sweep?â
âah. I forgot to explain. Since this is a place that has been used by seniors⦠seniors for a long time, there are many dangerous buildings. âI recommend that you do not enter an empty mansion without permission.â
Most of the many buildings in the 7th floor village of Einrogard contained old magic, so it was hard to know what would pop out when the doors were opened.
Even Einrogard students, who are veterans, mainly use buildings that have already been confirmed and are safe.
As the atmosphere became even darker, Lee Han wondered if it could get any darker here.
âI donât think it will get any darker no matter what is said now.â
âruler. Theyâre all here. Letâs sit down first.â
Perse arrived at the village and guided his juniors to an empty lot.
At the back of the clearing was a large tent and warehouse, and under them, more than ten cauldrons were boiling and emitting steam.
Some students shouted and waved their canes. Then the vegetables piled up broke into pieces and fell into the pot.
It was quite a familiar sight to Lee Han, who sometimes prepared meals for the entire school year with the help of other friends.
âThis is the restaurant of the Kitchen Club, so its official name is . âYou guys will be stopping by often starting this year.â
When I was in the first year, I was provided with rough and hard meals so that I would not starve to death, but from the second year onwards, there was nothing like that.
To fill your stomach, you had to get food yourself or pay money to buy it from somewhere else.
And the place in Einrogard that had the most food was the , also known as the Kitchen Club.
Whether we liked it or not, if we were hungry, all four top students had no choice but to buy food here.
Rattling!
Bowls of soup flew in from afar and stopped one by one in front of the students. The soup in the hollow bowl smelled delicious.
The seniors pretended to eat as if they understood.
However, the Blue Dragon Tower students who had already eaten a hearty breakfast looked at each other.
âActually, we just ate breakfastâ¦â
âHey. âBe quiet and eat.â
Lee Han subdued his friends with a glance.
Originally, if you acted indifferently when others showed favor to you, the favor would not come back to you in the future.
The friends felt that Lee Han was alive and started eating soup. Fortunately, the taste was okay.
âThere are few ingredients and itâs a bit distant, but itâs not bad.â
While the juniors were eating, Perse continued to explain.
âKitchen clubs donât usually give things out for free like this. âNow that Iâm in my second year, Iâm giving you exceptional treatment just once.â
âthank you.â
Next to me, Guy Nando grumbled, âItâs not as tasty as what Lee Han made, but arenât you being too condescending?â and then got pinched from both sides.
âListen while you eat⦠This kitchen club, as well as each of these friends here, are members of Einrogardâs official club.â
â??â
Lee Han had doubts in his mind.
An official club?
âSo there are unofficial clubs?â
âEinrogard Club is divided into official clubs and unofficial clubs. Official clubs are clubs that have been approved by the school for honorable purposes and outstanding achievements. âUnofficial clubsâ¦â
âTheyâre trash.â
One of the seniors stepped in and explained for him.
ââ¦â¦â
The second-year students looked at the absurd explanation in bewilderment.
âhey. âDonât disturb me.â
âWhat disturbance? âI explained it properly.â
âUnofficial clubs are not trash⦠they can be seen as clubs that have not received permission from the school. âBecause to become an official club, you need an honorable purpose and outstanding performance.â
âWhat club do you belong to?â
âI am a member of the Einrogard Gyeokgu Club.â
Perse smiled and answered as if it was a good question. That smile was full of pride.
âBut wasnât the Einrogard Gyeokgu Clubâs performance last year very good? âThe professor was swearingâ¦â
ââ¦â
Perseâs smile disappeared and his face became clouded.
Other seniors next to him criticized Gai Nando.
âNot to that extent, you arrogant bastard!â
âI just got unlucky in the finals! âWhat do you know!â
âHi.â
Guy Nando quickly hid behind Lee Han. Perse stopped his friends.
âEveryone calm down. Because itâs true that we lost in the finals.â
âSuch a mean bastard! âI remembered your face!â
Lee Han raised his hand and asked a question, hoping to save Gainando as well.
âBy the way, senior. Are there any advantages to being an official club?â
From the looks of it, the official club had many restrictions that seemed bothersome, starting from its purpose to its performance.
There must be a reason why Einrogard students, who live well without the law, endure such restrictions.
âSharp? right. There are some perks. There are things like the principalâs support fund and the right to go out in certain situations, butâ¦â â
â¦the most important thing is the right to invite.â
â?â
The second-year students were puzzled when they heard about the right to invite.
âWhat are your invitation rights?â
âFor an official club, a student can be forced to join because the club requests it, rather than the student requesting to join.â
ââ¦?!â
â!!!â
The second-year students were agitated by the unexpected words.
And the most disturbing of them all was Lee Han.
ââ¦Thatâs what you said!â
Now I think I understand why Delet told me to act stupid.
Of course, official clubs would only want outstanding students to join their clubsâ¦
In the worst case, Lee Han could have joined more than a few clubs.
Gaynando must have felt this too and complained to his seniors.
âThis isnât it!â
âArenât you the guy who criticized me earlier for not being able to play Perse?â
âIsnât it? Rather, just because itâs an official club, you canât just arbitrarily invite students to join! âIf several clubs join one student, how difficult would it be for that student!â
The second-year students nodded in agreement at Gainandoâs protest.
Because there was one person that came to everyoneâs mind.
Of course, from the perspective of Persena seniors, it was just absurd.
âJunior. âThat seems nonsense.â
âHey hey⦠are you saying that? âI think Iâm overestimating you guys, but the club also has eyes for it.â
The seniors in the club looked at the juniors with puzzled eyes.
Usually, very few students belonged to more than one official club.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was because peopleâs abilities and interests were determined.
How likely is it that a student who is interested in hardball will have the skills needed for the kitchen club?
That invitation authority was not given to harass one junior, but to give a junior who was suited to the club an opportunity to learn, even if by force.
âThen, if there is a student who has aptitude here and there, donât we select him?â
âThat⦠how outstanding is it?â
âHmm⦠how good is it?â
The clubâs seniors were lost in thought after hearing Gainandoâs question.
This is because if the aptitude is truly excellent, even if another club selects you, you will not be able to back down.
âhey! That junior guy is making fun of you. âYouâre causing conflict!â
âAh, oops.â
âYou bastard. âYouâre not usually a troublemaker.â
The seniors sent wary glances at Gainando.
In every grade, there are bound to be cunning and shrewd troublemakers who deny authority.
This yearâs second grader was probably that blonde boy.
âI asked because I was really curious!â
âEveryone be quiet. Anyway, I think this is enough for a general explanation of the club. For the rest of the explanation, each club can come to you or you can come and listen to it yourself, right? âThere are a lot of clubs in Einrogard that I donât know about.â
âyes.â
âThen⦠itâs all over! âI think you can start.â
-okay?
As Perse spoke, the student in the storage room behind opened the door and walked out. He was probably a member of the kitchen club.
Thump thump thump â
Every time the student took a step, the faces of the second grade students turned pale.
Gainando muttered.
âOh⦠Ogre half-breed?!â
The seniorâs size was so large that it was suspected that he had monster blood mixed in with him. The senior stopped walking, waddling his ample belly, which was protruding even above the loose priestâs uniform.
âPhew. Nice to meet you all. I am Falkrius, a 4th year student at Phoenix Tower. âI belong to the .â
âAre you a priest from the Fire Phoenix Tower?â
âokay! Hahaha! Are you surprised that an ogre half-breed is a priest?â
âyes!â
âPhew! Actually, Iâm human. There are so many people who mistake me for an ogre half-breed. âIf you tell me, Iâm always fooled!â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando, who had passed the guided interrogation, turned pale.
âPlease save me! sorry!â
âHahaha, Iâm not eating, Iâm not eating! Where can I find something to eat for a junior like you?â
Falkrius burst out laughing.
The friendly smile made the second-year students feel less nervous.
Although blood was dripping from the huge kitchen knife and ladle in both handsâ¦
