175 The First club meeting
After picking out the new clubroom, the President finished all the paperwork rather quickly. Now the Occult Club became an official club.
Rumors of what happened quickly spread as many students saw the two students who were recruiting for the occult club walking side by side with the Student Council members. The Student Council members who seldomly left their building were actually seen today which caused an uproar in school.
The student council was actually with the abnormal Oliver and Tsukasa. The former was a person who keeps on babbling that he was once the chosen hero and the other person was a muscle pervert. They also saw that Michael the former weakest student of the martial arts course was with them. There was also the famous librarian who suddenly awakened his inner energy at a later age.
Many students tried to figure out why the prestigious members of the Student Council would be with such a group.
Some students who were close to the talkative Oliver quickly learned the truth and spread it among the other students.
“The Student Council actually joined the Occult Club!”
“Oh My God! You’re telling me the cute Cho Ha-Eun, the Icy Beauty Erika Capell, and the perfect President Kurumi Ichika are all in the same club! Three Goddesses in one place, is there still a spot in the club can I join too?!”
“I need to join to protect my beloved President from those foul men!”
“Edward-sama is in a club that I can join!”
.....
“I can be with my idol!”
“F*ck they already invited me before, but I rejected what was I thinking! Sh*t, Sh*t, Sh*t, if I could I want to punch my past self. I f*cking miss the opportunity of a lifetime.”
The students were in a frenzy, and many students started looking for any member of the Occult Club to ask if they could join as well. It was easy to find Oliver and Tsukasa, but Loki and Michael seemingly disappeared. Unfortunately, for them, the only person in the group that could actually help them join was the Club President Michael, yet no matter where they looked they could not find him.
Already aware that this could happen, the Student Council President Ichika hid Michael in the Student Council Building. Even the most courageous student wouldn’t dare enter the building without permission, and it’s not like they can even if they tried.
“So what are we going to do? Even if I hide here for now, what about tomorrow or the next day, how are we going to conduct our club activities?” Michael asked a little worried about the situation, the Spirit in his mind was also complaining about it.
“Should we just tell them that they can’t join the club?” Edward gave a suggestion. Ichika looked at Edward for a few seconds and shook her head before replying.
“We can’t tell students what club they can or cannot join just because we don’t want them in ours. I already told you before that we are the representatives of the student body if we don’t follow rules then what’s the point of them?”
When Edward heard Ichika’s reply he felt ashamed, this was the second time today the President rejected his idea and replied in such a way that made him feel like an incompetent child.
“Then what should we do?” Ha-Eun who did not like the growing awkward atmosphere broke the silence.
“Don’t worry, I read the entirety of the rules regarding clubs, and as long as we are not a competitive club like the sports clubs or a club that is in need of a lot of manpower like the theatre club we are allowed to limit our members to eight people.”
Michael sighed in relief as he heard the President’s solution but then a question emerged in his mind.
“Eight people, we only have seven, Me, Oliver, Tsukasa, Edward-san, Ha-Eun-san-” Michael was suddenly interrupted by Ha-Eun.
“Chan! Ha-Eun-chan or just Euny-chan!”
“Ok, Ha-Eun-chan, Erika-san, and the Ichika-san, that’s seven. Who’s going to be the last member?”
“The last member could be your friend Mugami Shin-kun.”
“Huh, but Shin isn’t around how can he sign the club application form.”
“I already know that he took a leave of absence, but no need to worry. As long as he gives his verbal consent it is accepted.”
“But, he’s busy right now and I can’t contact him. It might take a while before he can give his consent.”
“I already dealt with that, before hiding you here I already called him and got his consent.”
“Huh, so Ms. President has already thought of all this since the beginning then why didn’t you just say so from the start?”
When the other members heard Michael’s question they sighed, as they already know the true character of their nearly perfect president.
“Why did I do it? I just wanted to see what the other people would do when they learned of the situation, but now it’s getting boring and the fun’s over.”
The president held the mic that was on her table, pressed the button on it, and spoke.
“Dear students of our proud Sekiko Academy this is your Student Council President speaking, as of now, the Occult Club will no longer be accepting any new members, as they are at full capacity for the time being. So please my fellow students I hope you can keep your dignity and do not harass the club members of the Occult Club.”
When this announcement was made the whole school which was in a frenzy quickly calmed down. Some of the students who were trying to get information from Oliver and Tsukasa felt ashamed and apologized to the two.
When Oliver saw this scene he couldn’t help but murmur to himself.
“So this is the powerful influence of her excellency. It’s like she brainwashed them. Heh, as expected of her excellency my fellow confrère of destiny.”
...
Loki who was hiding on the roof of the Old School Building saw the scene of the wild students stopping and was deeply impressed.
“Born to be a ruler... She’s better than I thought.”
...
The following day, the news about the occult club has been spread to the entire student body. Alisa felt a little worried that her brother was the adviser of the occult club, but after talking to him about it she felt a little better. She was also thinking if one of the three beauties would become his brother’s girlfriend.
Even now her big brother doesn’t seem to be that interested in relationships, and even Detective Matsuri who was trying her best couldn’t become his special someone. Alisa was slightly worried that his big brother might grow old without finding a significant other. Not to mention her big brother doesn’t seem to show any interest in the opposite sex, well it’s not like he shows any interest in the same sex, all he seems to care about is her and Liam.
Alisa was really touched by her big brother’s love but she also wanted her big brother to focus on himself. So in the back of Alisa’s mind, she had the slight hope that Loki would somehow be attracted to one of the three beauties.
...
In the afternoon, the group of seven arrived at their new clubroom in the old school building. Unlike yesterday the clubroom changed significantly. The broken windows have been fixed, the cracks on the walls disappeared, the blackboard turned into a whiteboard, and the empty clubroom was now surrounded by bookshelves filled with books.
There were also three QLED TVs and a long table in the middle of the room, several seats, and in front of each seat was a computer.
“What happened here, what happened to the solemn otherworldly atmosphere from yesterday?! This is not the clubroom I wish for!” Oliver suddenly screamed as he saw the new changes.
“Well, this is a necessary upgrade for the Occult Club. The books on the shelves are all related to the Occult. The TVs are for when we need to watch those so called ghost sighting videos. The computers are for more intensive research, now we look like a serious Occult Club.” Ichika spoke while clapping her hands.
Michael sighed when he saw the changes, this was also not what he had in mind when he thought of creating this club. Now that the Student Council President seems to be serious about doing this occult club it might become hard for him to ask Loki for some pointers.
“Club President, I have a proposal for what we can do for our first club meeting.” Ha-Eun who had picked a chair she could sit on and raised her hand.
“What is it Ha-Eun-C-chan?”
“How about we investigate the so called seven school mysteries.”
“That sounds interesting! Why haven’t I heard of any of these so called mysteries?” Oliver who sat right beside Tsukasa interjected.
“The seven school mysteries that have been talked about, have always been part of the school rumors for a long time now, no one knows when they started,” Tsukasa whispered to himself.
Seeing the almost sparking eyes of, Oliver, Tsukasa, and Ha-Eun, Michael could only nod his head in approval. Even Loki was a bit interested in these so called seven mysteries.
“Alright, let’s investigate the seven school mysteries!”
