Chapter 62 - 61: A Weird Club(2)

"Doc?" Leo didn't expect to see the guy here as well.

"What are you doing here?" Yuji asked Leo in surprise.

"He is the new member that Runeko brought to join the club!" Biggie said in excitement, as his muscles shook with his huge body.

Yuji's eyes widened for a short instant before he smiled, looking at Leo, "I knew our meeting wasn't a coincidence! Welcome to the Club my friend!"

Before Leo could say anything, the guy had already given him a hug.

"No, I hav-" Leo tried to tell him that he was only here to have a look, but unfortunately, he was interrupted by Doc.

"You don't know how big of a help you have been to us! Ever since the senior year graduated, our clubs got shut down due to lack of members. And, this year we failed to recruit the required number of people."

"Hence, we came together, but we still lacked a member. But, with you on the board, everything is solved." Yuji almost had tears in his eyes as he told Leo about their struggles.

[Idiot! What are you doing?! It's not the time to be emotional-nya! Don't get dragged into this mess!] Aiden saw that Leo was losing his firmness here. The guy was here to find a workshop. And if they didn't have one, he was supposed to leave.

"Hey kiddo, what are you interested in? If it's martial arts, you can follow me from today!" The little hedgehog said with a smile as it thumped its chest.

"What Martial Arts! You guys are nothing in front of my toxins!" The slimy lady said with a smile before looking at Leo, "You think that too, right?"

"I am sure he is here to find his Ninja Way," The Shinobi guy intervened, looking at Leo with expectation in his eyes.

"You aren't even a real Shinobi-yawwwnnn!" The guy in his pajamas yawned, before placing the pillow on the shop and lying down.

"How about you join me to build your body and flex some muscles?" Biggies asked with a smile, as he did a front double bicep pose.

"Stop putting pressure on him! He will do what he likes, aren't we all doing the same?" Doc berated everyone.

"Umn...He was looking to join...the Mecha Club when I ...scouted him…" Runeko finally spoke after keeping her silence all along. "And…"

"And, what?" The Hedgehog asked with a frown seeing that she had entered her nervous mode once again.

"He...said...he will take a look before joining…" She said in a low voice, and the excitement on everyone's face immediately began to fade.

"This girl…" A little vein popped up on the Hedgehog's forehead as it looked at the girl, and the next instant it immediately pounced towards her with a Bruce Lee like shout.

"Wakow!"

But, the hedgehog suddenly froze in mid air with one of its legs still stretching out.

"Calm down, Spike." The Shinobi guy said with his hands raised in half the way into air.

"Goddamnit! Let me go, Blank! I will show this girl the might of my one step Kick!"

"Calm down fellas! We still have got this, did you forget who is in charge of the Mecha related stuff here?" Yuji said with a smile as his nose grew five inches in length.

"Tsk, we are doomed for sure." The Slimy girl shook her head.

"Does he even know anything?" The sleepy guy muttered in a low voice with his eyes closed.

"You guys should be consider his presence a bit, even if it's truth, at least say it behind his back.." Biggie said with a frown.

Yuji's face twitched, "You guys…"

"You peasants think you can understand my awesomeness! I am really good, Ok! It's just that you guys don't understand any of my inventions!" He further retorted in anger.

"Look at this guy boast, he isn't even from Mecha Department, peh!" The hedgehog spat in disdain. He was really looking down on the guy.

"Didn't he got kicked out from the Mecha Club as well?" The Shinobi asked in confusion.

"Good! Very Good! Just wait and watch!" Yuji glared at them, "Once we have enough members, I will go and win the Mecha Grand Prix this year!"

There was no way that anyone was believing him.

"Come with me, Leo. I will show you what you are here for." Yuji turned around, and walked inside the facility, "And, you too Runeko."

Leo and Runeko just followed him, as the rest left to their work.

…

"I am sorry for the commotion outside," Yuji shook his head with a sigh. "And Runeko, just don't leave people with half the information."

"I got a bit nervous seeing everyone happy. And, didn't know how to say it..." The girl replied timidly.

"Start building your confidence, or the students will eat you up in the MTP course if you keep behaving like that." Yuji shook his head with a sigh.

Leo was a bit surprised to think someone like her was in the MTP course as well. He definitely couldn't tell it at all.

"Umnn.." Runeko lightly nodded.

As they continued to walk down the hall way, Doc explained some stuff to Leo.

It seems that the Academy had allowed them to use the old stuff from this building, which was the only reason that they were still able to exist as a circle. And, even if the things here were outdated, this things still were better than nothing.

But, there was a catch as well. Only people who actually worked like an active club members in this circle were allowed to use this place. If not, just any person could walk in the place, and use everything while not doing the handwork that clubs put to their activities. It definitely wasn't fair that way. Hence, only they and a few other small circles existed in the old building.

All of the guys that Leo had met previously were a part of their club. And, just like seen earlier, they all had different things that they pursued. The Circle was one of kind in the entire Academy. People even called them weirdoes for more than obvious reason, and Leo could totally understand it.

"Well, we are here." Yuji smiled as he opened the door to the room which was his area of control in the old building.

Leo entered the room, and it was messy at first glance. Things were lying all around. Blueprints and sketches loosely hung on walls and working boards. Everything around looked pretty old, and it gave Leo a feeling that he had returned to the past.

"We don't have latest 3D Module maker here, and the one that you see in the corner is broken."

"This is the working desk, and it's all mechanical with a little technological aspect to it. It's not like the newer ones used in the Mecha club where you could just set the configurations according to your wish, and let it do the manual work."

"For Programming, well…..we currently don't have anything.." Yuji forced a smile on his face.

"Which era do this place belong to?" Leo couldn't help but ask with a weird look on his face. The things being used here were definitely very old. It was outdated.

"I don't know exactly for sure, but if I make a wild guess….." Yuji paused as he looked at Leo, "..maybe....before the Mechs were invented…"
