After escaping that situation I went back to my dorm to have some peace and quiet.
" I think I can start preparing for the second event..."
There was another club that had almost all of the main lead except for Loren and Zen. The club was one of the most essential ones in the academy. It had a support from external guilds, so students can learn more about how guilds exactly do their work. The events vary from small guild visits, to a whole real dungeon hunts. The students mainly joined the club because of the latter.
Who wouldn't enjoy hunting a dungeon? Well Loren was preoccupied in her revenge that she didn't give the club a glance. Also Zen whose family had many dungeons under their name, didn't join the club.
From what I remember, there were many types of dungeons. Some of them are a one time clear after entering the dungeon. However, some dungeons explode and corrupt the surrounding environment creating monsters that are not inside the dungeon, but actually lives outside with us.
In such cases, usually guilds or elite families take control over those dungeons.
It had many merits and drawbacks. The drawbacks obviously is endangering the civilians. In rare cases, a mutated monster can escape from the secured areas and attack the public civilians. Of course they are very rare as nowadays measures of safety and security has become much more outstanding compared to before. In the other hand, there are many merits in have such dungeons. These monsters can multiply overtime, and with more monsters comes more rewards. Such as their Caracas, their tough leather or even some magical materials. They could also be areas to train heroes.
" The next event involves the dungeon hunt "
The club had scheduled a dungeon exploration. It was inside an encapsulated dungeon. However, all of a sudden the dungeon turned into a black one. Black dungeons are the worst outcome in entering a dungeon. Luckily.... or in a cliche..... the dungeon ranked up from D to C ranked one where the boss was a B ranked demonic creature... yes demonic so the main character can kill him with his trait.... talk about an obvious cliche.
" but will it be the same? "
in the practical dungean, many unexpected things happened. First was the appearance of that A ranker.... and also the early admission of Amelia. Zen also didn't participate this time apparently for some unknown reasons.
" I can't leave it to the novel's information anymore "
I was going to ignore the dungeon, but what would happen if an unknown variable happened again?
Thinking about it now it was actually a bliss that Livia came to me instead... otherwise she would have gotten herself killed with the protagonist....
" I have to first sign up..."
'walking through the academy's corridors ' I entered the academic affairs office for the first year students.
" Hmm? Can I help you with something?"
The one who noticed me was a young thin man who seemed to be working here as a staff member.
" Yes, I am here to apply for a club but the festival is already done...."
"Hmm..... wait a second please..."
After like 5 minutes, the staff member came back and inquired about the club...
" Which club?"
" Hunting "
" Oh!! Well you should have said that from the beginning! Here is the form just fill your information"
Form? Interesting, this club is not a small one for sure.... to have a form ready in the academy offices means that it is official and supported by the academy itself....
" And... Done, Here"
" Thanks... may I know your rank please?"
"...why?"
" Ahem... well the club only accept members of E rank and above....."
"..."
Shit....I guess I will have to update my rank as well...
" Then.... can I update my rank?..."
"?? What? You ranked up?"
" Y-yes I was F rank but now I am an E rank....."
" Oh....fine... then just show me your badge so I can update it for you...."
Heh... he seems disappointed... well E rank is just around average...maybe a little above average I guess?
" Here..."

Inside one of the nearby bars, two female professors were having a friendly chat while drinking...
" Are you serious Lisa?"
" Yes... I almost forgot about telling you, but there was an A ranker inside the dungeon..."
" An A ranker? Then how would the students survive? There's no way that the students can take him on..."
" I checked the body and I can confirm that the ranker for some reason have killed himself..."
" Killed himself? Did he do it because of regret? "
" I have no Idea but I don't think so..... the body was desperate to die.... as if it was either being controlled or in an extremely excruciating pain that It wanted to die...."
"..."
" I know this might sound ridiculous, but there might be a third party involved in the attack... Do have any idea on who they might be? "
" I only know that the explosives were from that famous alchemist, but I have no idea of the identity of the attackers let alone a hidden third group...."
"....I see..."
" Just forget about it Lisa... don't get yourself into trouble..... you already have a direct mission, so just focus on that for now "
" I know... I was just curious..."
" You know what they say? curiosity is what killed the cat! "
".....Oh?? So you are saying I am cute like a cat?!"
" W-what? No! How did you even process that ??"
" Come on Amelia... just say it already... do you have a crush on me?"
" HUH?! are you drunk already?!
