Vol. 7 - Chapter 357 - Subordinate guild discussion and 4th elective class of Zephyr!

"I went and contacted all the 22 candidates and asked if they would be interested in joining the subordinate guild, and none of them mind."

"Seriously?"

Thursday's morning, Misato messaged me an unbelievable piece of news on chat.

Again, the subordinate guild was for substitutes. There are also times where one might remain a substitute for three straight years.

I don't know the battle power of the guilds all the girls (and one boy) belonged to, but if their talent was any indication, they must have been aiming for regular or even higher, for the main team.

That's why it was a tad incredulous to think they would leave their guild and wouldn't mind joining the subordinate guild of <Eden>, an E-rank guild.

But now, that's actually happening, and they were ready to join anytime.

Ah, yes, I must be dreaming. Just to make sure, I grabbed my <Smartphone> and replied to Misato.

<Err, is it a joke?>

<Of course not~. I think it would be nice if Zephyr-kun can be more aware of the surrounding, and how other see you.>

<Good lord!>

As expected of a renowned brave.

Is he popular? Brave is? I did hear about something like Brave fans but this is just......

Wait, surely they wouldn't decide on something as important as guild to chase after Brave, right? They wouldn't, would they? I mean, it could have been possible in an online game, but this is reality.

It's not hyperbole to say the guild they choose would shape their life. But now, they are actually deciding it based on fleeting emotions...... Was it the right decision? I couldn't say for surety with the few interactions I had with them.

Could it be, they have foreseen the future of <Eden> and decided to get on the bandwagon when there's still time?

There is no telling if they would ever graduate from being substitutes as well. But, is there really any merit to be a part of the subordinate guild of <Eden> have enough merit to them?

In the game, such settings were non-existent.

Just as I was working my brain at the surreal situation, I received another message from Misato.

"Anyway, can I begin with the procedure to establish the subordinate guild? I will contact Celestine-san and Mert-sama about this as well, but I wanted to receive you permission first."

......So things have begun huh.

"We can enjoy both visual and auditory delights while taking the strongest class. I'm glad I became a fan..."

"Same here."

They were the same members who are receiving my classes from Day 1. I am glad to see them excited for class as usual.

I can tell other students are also taking my class, but they were just different, whether it's in their enthusiasm or energy, they completely outpaced them. And as ever, they were on the front row.

There's no seating order in this auditorium, so it's basically first come, first served. I can't imagine what time they must have woken up just to secure them, in a sense, just that alone was commendable.

------I have received your support, everyone. I will make sure my class matches your enthusiasm!

And what could be better than the good ol' and reliable <Dungeon Activity Training Manual>! to match their level of fervor!

By the way, the five guys who were present from the first class are nowhere to be seen.

I don't see them on the first row, maybe they might be somewhere amidst this huge crowd of 300 people. It doesn't seem like I can search them quickly.

For now, I'll send my heartfelt gratitude to these 45 girls. Not verbally, but with a smile. I wonder if it'll get across?

"Kyaa, he just smiled at me!"

"Come to earth, girl. Zephyr-kun obviously smiled at everyone."

"Phew that was really breathtaking action, worthy of lots of point. It seems like my lunch is going to taste great today."

"Kuh, yes, yes, yes. This seat really is the bestest!"

"I will never give this seat to anyone."

I sensed an elation in the fervor of the girls. I think my thoughts have been conveyed.

Alright, time to start the class.

"Good morning, everyone. Today is my fourth class. There are no newcomers today, but let's start with a review of the previous lesson just to clear out doubt again."

If the performance of the girls, who have received my class from Day 1, during the interview was any indication, then my lectures have started to bear fruits.

It signifies I am not giving class in vain. For a teacher, there could be nothing more exciting that this fact.

Alright, I will raise wonderful talents and pull them to <Eden>!
