Chapter 9 - Clubs

A few days had passed and Mian had brought him over to the E-sports club, knocking on the door thrice before heading inside.

"Good afternoon Teacher Kim, I brought over my cousin. It's about what we discussed before." Mian had smiled as Mitami walked in behind her.

"I remember, have him sit down Infront of the computer, I'll have one of our starters play against him." Teacher Kim had spoken lightly before making the starter sit down to play.

"Don't hold back okay? That would be very disrespectful if you do." Mitami had spoke as he logged into the game.

"What's your user? I'll invite you to the custom game, You're a new player?" Jack asked as he saw the profile of Mitami's account it was at the minimum level to play ranked but the account was freshly made.

"Yeah, I have a new account, I don't want to touch my old one." Mitami replied as he accepted the custom invite. Mian looked confused but didn't say anything.

"Ready when you are." Mitami was finishing up his keybinds and settings before giving jack the go ahead to start.

The match had started both of them had configured their characters to their liking Jack had a Martial Artist with a Burst Dps build, Mitami had opted for a Lancer with a tank build.

The map was set on an open field so it would be easier to judge the skill level of Mitami. Teacher Kim had told then to start, The game was a best of five.

Playing a tank lancer was always good against a Martial artist with a Burst build, it was a clear counter yet Jack could never complete his combo nor initiate it on his own.

The tempo of the games were solely controlled by Mitami, each game Mitami hadn't gone down 70% of his hp. With each match Jack had a sullen look on his face as Mitami beat him 3-0

Mitami felt bad for Jack but he didn't say anything, It might come off as showing off and might hurt him more than what he already done.

"Good game." Mitami spoke before reaching out his hand for a shake. Jack was in a daze but shook Mitami's hand.

Teacher Kim had a glimmer in his eyes as he looked at Mitami, "Do you want to play as a starter? You're a perfect fit for us."

"I'd prefer just to be a practice partner, I'm planning to join other clubs as well Teacher." Mitami politely rejected his offer

Teacher Kim wanted to coerce Mitami into joining but he just shook his head before excusing both him and Mian to leave.

Teacher Kim had waved his hands wanting the other students to continue to practice before sitting down to think of a way to convince Mitami.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I'll bring you over to the Music Club, now then the art club you can go on your own." Mian yawned as they arrived at a large classroom full of music instruments.

There were two electric piano, a few violins, trumpets, flutes, etc. The teacher in charge of the club greeted them at the door.

"Good Afternoon Miss Mina." Mian greeted before hugging the teacher.

Mina had hugged her back before flicking her forehead. "I see you got time for sucking up but not practicing the Violin. I should give you more homework." Mian's reaction went from being happy to a sunken look almost immediately.

"I'm only joking, I know you're busy being a member of the student council." She glanced towards Mitami.

"I'm Mitami, Mian's cousin. It's nice to meet you Ma'am." He spoke lightly as the students look over towards them

"Miss Mina, Can Mitami join the music club?" Mian asked as she pulled away from Mina.

"Of course he can, but he has to know to play at least one instrument." Mina spoke with a smile before asking Mitami, " What instrument can you play?"

"I can confidently play the Piano and Guitar, but I can also play a little of Violin." He glanced at the piano and guitars in the room.

"Why don't you play something on the Piano or the Guitar for us, It's a plus if you can sing while playing either instrument." Mina spoke as he gave Mitami leeway to choose either instrument.

"I'll play the guitar for now." Mitami spoke with a soft smile as a guitar was handed to him by Mina, He took a seat before grabbing a guitar pick from his bag.

He took a minute to decide on the song, He started to play SYML's Where's My Love soon he started to sing along to the tune. "Cold Bones, Yeah thats my love, She hides away like a ghost...."

The more he played and sang the more engrossed he became not noticing the other students had stopped playing and a crowd had formed outside the door.

He glanced back up towards them, looking confused as he didn't know where the people outside the door came from.

Miss Mina shoo'd away the other students away. "You passed, feel free to use the club room to your liking, you'll also be notified if any events will be happening."

"Lucy and Ava, Come with me to my office, I need you to post out flyers around the school." Lucy was in the corner with her violin in hand, she didn't hear what Mina had said until she was Elbowed by her seatmate. She promptly stood up and followed behind Miss Mina followed by a short girl with glasses.

When teacher Mina had left, The other members of the Music Club rushed towards him thankfully Mian had dragged him out of the club room using the student council as an excuse.

He didn't have any classes that afternoon so he went home, The guitars he ordered were sent up to his room and was placed neatly by the door, he brought them inside and set them down in the studio.
