" No seriously bro, this is not funny.. what the hell did you use.."
Currently, I was back in class and for some reason John can't stop talking about my new appearance...
" I thought we were friends.... Come on man there's no way you were this handsome... what in the world did you use?"
I wouldn't call myself extremely handsome. In my previous world, I was actually considered as an average looker. However, for some reason I felt offended by the fact that he keeps underestimating my look before becoming half a vampire....
" Shut up.. I am just born this way.. stay mad, loser "
"Y-You! YOU TRAITOR!! How dare you! You think you are a model or something?! "
Hmm? A model? Maybe I can be one with my handsome look, I can bewitch others easily... perhaps I can go on par with the demoness of charm ' Lilith '....
" Maybe I can become one? "
".....Pftt. you? Bro I don't want to break it up to you... but you were below average... you just slightly became little more than average"
"...."
N-no way... he must be jealous... I am sur-
"-Everyone! Sit back on your seats!"
Hmm? Professor Mike? Did he lose some weight?
" As everyone knows last week there was an unfortunate accident which led to many injured and some.... unfortunate deaths. Although it is our responsibility as the academy professors to protect you, but it is not entirely our faults. You guys will one day become heroes. In your future life, you will notice that not everything goes according to the rules. Criminals and villains exist for a reason. Deaths and casualties will happen regardless whether we want them or not..... However! It is our responsibility to protect as many as possible and save as many as possible since we were given such powers.... "
He is right... in my previous world if such an attack happened. Then not only will the academy stop the whole year and advance them to the next level immediately, but it will also raise a huge political issue to the whole institution.
The deaths back then were considered a huge issue that could threaten the whole academy. In this world however, it was a more like a norm.. although parents will sue the academy and might win some money from it, but the academy will never crumble. After all, the future best heroes are nurtured here.
" Today, there will be no classes after this one. From the afternoon break and afterwards you will have the chance to join the club's recruitment event "
One of the students raised her hand and asked
" What exactly do we do in clubs?"
'Taking a glance at who asked the question' The professor replied
" Each club have a professor in charge of it. The activities will be determined by the students. However, main events will require the permission of the professor on charge of the club, and sometimes will require an approval from the principal or the vice-principal themselves "
The main characters in the novel joined clubs based on their roles. Like the protagonist Harold who joined the 'Knights' club, or Sophia who joined the the 'Sorcery' club.
There were other clubs for habits or leisure, like the arts club or the music club.
" Let's checkout these clubs"

Outside the academy's main building, many booths were arranged in a circular shape. Each booth had some students from a certain club, and currently they were recruiting the new first year students.
" Don't miss out your youth!! Join the sports club!! "
" For nobles!! We are the tea club!! Tea and party gatherings if you join us!!"
" OSS! JOIN THE JUDO CLUUUB!! OSS! "
The place was too loud and very active. If the attack happened in my previous world, this event would probably have been as dead as a funeral. However, the people of this world have accustomed to the environment here.
" Where is 'that' club? "
The reading club was never mentioned in the novel other than the fact that the professor was that genius. I have to at least try convincing him to use it... otherwise the divine grade weapon ' A07 ' might be lost forever...
.....
....
.
" Where?"
I just took a whole tour to every club... where is the reading club....?
" Excuse me, do you happen to know where is the reading club? "
' Asking one of the seniors ' the senior had a confused expression as he said
" Oh... you don't know? "
Hmm? Know what?
" That club is just for a professor who doesn't even teach, the students don't even bother him as he is reading alone"
"hmm? Not a single student?"
" Yeah "
Weird... There was nothing like that in the novel....
" Then where can I find the club room ?"
" Hmm? I think it was in a room inside the library...."
The library? Typical....
" Alright, Thanks senior"
" No problem! Now why don't you check our clu-"
" - I need the toilet! Sorry gotta go! "
"...Tsk.."
Sorry senior... but the future of our survival depend on this....
.....
....
.
Finally the library... now where's the room?
Again the same old lady welcomed me to the library, I asked her about the club after greeting her
" If you continue down this way, you will find a green door "
" Thank you, ma'am "
" Hoho welcome anytime youngster"
Hmm.....
...
There it is!
[ The Reading Club ]
'Knock' 'Knock' 'Knock'
" Hello? Anyone in there?"
".....come in"
As soon as I entered, a smell of paper thicker than the one in the library hit my nostrils. Inside the small room, a middle aged man wearing some glasses was reading a book peacefully, and without even looking at who entered the room he said.
" What do you want? "
Do I tell him? Or do I just wait for now? He was an important character. However, in the novel he seemed quite eccentric and barely had any involvement....
Looks like I will need to build trust first ,
" I came to join the reading club "
