"Will you join my club?"
Leo looked at the girl in surprise. That really seemed to have come out of nowhere. It didn't seem like the best way to persuade people to join your club.
Still, Leo waited for her to speak further, but the girl kept quiet for some reason.
"What kind of club is it?" In the end, he asked with a helpless smile on his face. It seemed that the girl was a bit too slow.
"Ahh!" She released a squeak, finally coming to the realization.
"Umn..I-I saw you in the M-Mecha Club. If they don't have place, you can come ..to.. us. We are lacking members," Her voice was barely audible. And, she seemed to be a nervous as well.
"Is your club related to Mech's as well?" Leo asked her. If it really was, he wouldn't mind joining.
The girl nodded her head.
"Is there a workshop in there?" Leo further asked, and she nodded again. "Well, shall we go and have look at it once then?"
[We had another Mech Club-nya?] Aiden muttered in confusion. It seemed even he wasn't aware about it.
"I-I will l-lead you then," The girl said, as she grabbed Leo's hand and then pulled it him along with her.
This left Leo speechless, but he for some reason didn't pull his hand back. After all, the innocence that he felt from her was just like that of a child. One just couldn't help it.
….
"Is this really the club?" Leo asked as his face twitched a bit. This place was nothing, but the old campus building according to Aiden.
[This place is so old that even ghost's don't live here anymore-nya.] Aiden frowned.
"Yes, our club is right around here." The girl nodded, and walked ahead of Leo as her tail swirled from side to side. She didn't seem much nervous here as she had been on the main campus.
[I remember! This is the Club's Graveyard-nya!] Aiden suddenly spoke in surprise.
'Club's graveyard?'
Leo had no idea about it.
[Yes! This girl! When she said that they were lacking members, she meant that they didn't even have enough to qualify as a proper club-nya!]
Leo's eyes immediately dilated.
[The people here belong to those clubs which have been shut down due to lack of members, or just doesn't have a club of their choice to begin with-nya.]
[They don't even have the right to call themselves a club actually. They are just a small circle, without any kind of support from the Academy-nya.]
[Besides, most of the people here are just a bunch of weirdos! Leave! Don't get involved with them-nya!]
"We are here," The girl turned around to look at Leo, as she swiped her I.D. card, and opened the door.
Leo looked at the entrance, and even with Aiden's warning, he just decided to go in. There was nothing to lose in just having a look at the so called 'club'.
…
As soon as Leo and the girl entered the room, a voice sounded in the room.
"You are back, Runeko?"
Leo turned his head, and the next moment his eyes dilated at the sight of the guy in front of him.
This person was huge! Like really huge!
Leo even after being 5'11 barely reached up to chest. He definitely stood somewhere around between 9 to 10 feet.
Leo was not sure which race he belonged to, he was not that big to be called giants but big enough to not qualify as a human for sure.
The guy was bald with shiny head. He had a dark skin tone, and was quite buffed up. The rippling muscles on his body really made him look like a body builder. Leo even felt that his body would burst out any second. After all, his muscles had really bulged out to an inhumane level which Leo had never seen.
But, this wasn't what was most ridiculous about him.
This weirdo was actually wearing a posing trunks!!!
"Umn..I brought a member..along," Runeko said with a little nod; her voice being low as usual.
"Oh!" The person's eyes immediately lit up as he shifted his gaze at Leo as if he was some delicious desert being served. It really sent chills all around Leo's body.
"Oh my gosh! Wear some clothes you idiot!" Another voice sounded in the room, and the next instant a strong stenhe wafted everyone's nose as a lady with a fluid like body walked in from the adjacent room. She was wearing some kind of protective mask, and goggles on her face, and carrying a test tube which was giving out purple fumes. It really looked dangerous to be honest.
"What is all this commotion for," Another voice sounded in the room, but the person didn't seem visible to Leo at all.
Suddenly, there was change in the wall. And, in front of Leo's dumbfounded gaze, a cloths slid down revealing a guy in shinobi's attire standing there.
It was a camouflage.
"Why is there so much noise? Will you guys let me sleep in peace?" Leo turned his head to see a person getting up behind the sofa while rubbing his eyes. He had pillow in his hands and had his sleeping pajamas on.
"Godamnit! Will I find any peace in this place!" A voice came from above.
Leo was already numb from shock; he raised his head to see a spiky ball fall from the ceiling. And, before it crashed onto the floor, the ball opened turning into a Hedgehog which was a little smaller than Nyanden probably. The little guy made a perfect landing on the floor and then raised its head. The Hedgehog actually had a bandana on his forehead with nunchucks tied to his waist.
'Where in hell did I come to?' Leo was starting to regret it now. He probably should have listened to Aiden earlier.
The Hedgehog looked at the big guy, and frowned, "What's going on, Biggie?"
"Runeko brought a member. We can finally file for funds for our activities!" Biggie said in excitement, and tightened his muscles while striking a pose.
"What!" The Hedgehog immediately became excited, "Hell yeah! I can finally participate in the Universe Budo Stage this year!"
It wasn't only him but everyone else. All of them were happy and excited. And, their shiny eyes looked towards Leo as if he was their savior.
[I thought you were here to look around! Tell them about it! Don't get dragged into their flow-nya!]
[You can tell at a glance, this bunch of weirdos in a single club doesn't make sense at all-nya!]
"I see you guys are all lively today," A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Leo turned around to look behind.
And, it was indeed someone he knew. That white lab coat, and face wasn't something he would forget anytime so soon.
"Doc?"
"Hmmn?" Yuji looked at the unfamiliar face before finally recognizing him and a smile immediately leaked out on his face, "Leo?"
