Chapter 59 Ranker

Vale nodded at the reasonable explanation from the female student. However, he didn't expect that Aubrey would have such a hobby…

He was initially expecting that she would join the Tea Appreciation Club since she was looking at their stall for quite a long time.

"Ahh… I'm going to look for a different club. Are you coming with us, Aubrey?" Chad asked with a flustered face.

After being approached by the excited female student from the Board Game Club, he seemed to be panicking for a bit and it didn't escape Vale's eyes.

"Yes… I'll check this place again on the last day to submit my application form. I'm not in a hurry."

After they left the stall, Chad lead the group to a crowded stall.

There were about a dozen students surrounding this stall so Vale couldn't help but be curious.

"What club is this?" Vale curiously asked as he can't see the poster in front.

"It's the Ranker's Club…" Chad answered as he looked at the group of students queuing up. He recognize that most of them were from Class 1…

"Ranker's Club? Interesting… Even that guy is planning to join. What does this club do?" Aubrey asked as she saw a familiar person.

Chad followed her gaze and realized who she was referring to…

"So even Wilfred Moontomb is planning to join this club. I guess I'll be looking for another club." Chad wryly smiled as he realized that too many students are planning to join.

As far as he knows, the club only accepts 3 students per year to join their club. Furthermore, there will be a series of tests that you needed to pass in order to be accepted.

Aside from Wilfred, Chad also noticed a few guys who are from noble families.

"Ahem… What does the Ranker's Club do?" Vale repeated Aubrey's question.

This time, however, someone answered before Chad could reply.

"It's a club aiming to be part of the Evanescent Vessels. Joining it won't guarantee your acceptance in the Order but it gives you a higher chance."

At this sudden answer, not only Vale's group surprised but also a few students around them.

This familiar voice was definitely from Maya Featherstar!

Vale immediately looked behind him and confirmed that he was right.

"Thank you for answering…" Vale replied with a gentle nod. Although he still has a few questions, he realized that the entourage of girls behind Maya was also looking at him with pressuring gaze.

On the other hand, Chad Bulmung was excited after seeing her closely.

"Are you also planning to join the Ranker's Club?"

Maya pursed her lips as she turned her gaze to the crowded stall before shaking her head...

"Not anymore…" With that said, Vale noticed that she looked at him once more before leaving to visit another club.

"Vale, do you know each other?" Aubrey softly asked as she also noticed the profound glance that Maya gave him.

"No… It's my first time talking to her." Vale answered.

'Wait, did she see me observing her that time at the town?' Vale thought but he immediately shook his head. He must be overthinking it. He was too far from the site of the incident and Maya's magic zone shouldn't reach him from that distance.

"Also, she's the student representative of the first year. She should be in the Student Council, right?" Vale added.

Although he wasn't sure what the benefits she'll get from the Student Council, he knows that it is better than what the Ranker's Club can offer.

"That's right… However, they're still allowed to join other Clubs since the student council shouldn't be that busy this time of the year." Chad added as he looked at Maya's back once more before shifting his gaze to the crowded stall.

"Well, she probably just wants to talk to you, Vale." Lisa added as she slowly felt comfortable with the group.

"Let's stop talking about her… What are your plans now? Haven't you found any club yet? What are your hobbies anyway? Perhaps we can help you find." Aubrey asked Vale.

"I just want a club that will not be too tiring… Even if it is, I want something that could hone my skills." Vale answered after some thought.

"Then the Ranker's Club is suited for you... The Credence and Ethics Committee is possible as well. Since you're from Chambers Family, you probably have two Dark Spells already. You can apply to those two." Chad suggested.

Aubrey nodded at this agreeing to his suggestion.

However, as they were walking around, another recruiter heard their conversation and immediately joined in.

"Heh… The Ethics Committee has a high requirement since they're tasked to maintain peace and order within the Academy. You can call them the academy police. Don't bother applying to it unless you're in the third year. I think you can consider joining our club instead. It's the Spirit Crafter Club."

It was from another student that was taller than Vale. He has a kind, gentle face and seemed a very approachable person. It was no wonder he was tasked to be the recruiter for their club.

"I'm Wade Saxon… I'm a sixth-year student and currently the Vice-President of the Club. Spirit Crafting may not be useful for you until you're in your third year but I assure you that you'll like it..."

Vale was intrigued by this including the others beside him. They didn't mind him suddenly joining their conversation as Vale asked a few questions.

"It's my first time hearing about Spirit Crafting, what does your club do? And what's the requirement to join this Club?"

Wade smiled after realizing Vale's interest but before he could answer, something happened at the stall of the Ranker's Club.

Several gasps and exclamations were heard…

Then, one of the fifth-year recruiters of Ranker's Club said in surprise.

"Great! Wilfred Moontomb, you deserve to be a member of our club… Having two high-grade Dark Spells before you even enter the Academy... I'm impressed."
