Chapter 28 - Club Selection

**Adam Walker's POV**

We reached the class not long after our deal, he pays for my portal and I select a club today.

Today, we had history as the first and it was boring as hell, after that we moved to the combat grounds.

"You idiot, do the stance correctly" I could hear instructor Blake shouting at someone.

Soon Owen came to my side.

"What?"

"What?"

"What are you doing here?", I asked.

"This is the combat grounds, I have the right to train anywhere I want and I choose this place", he replied.

"Okay, you've been acting really weird since earlier this morning", I said.

"And I told you it's nothing", he said.

"Well if ya say so", I shrugged.

Time went by in a flash, and it was the last class of the day. We had space coordinates and exploration class.

After the last class, Owen came to me and said, "Now about the clubs, there are too many to count, some of the ones I've seen these past two days are, readers club, sword club, gourmet club, tech club, bloodline club, fashion club, sports club, hunting club, and so much more", he rambled.

"Oh and there's the adventure club, and then the student council. Believe it or not there's a club as absurd as farting club, they pursue the rights of farting anywhere you like", he said with a disgusted tone.

"And which one has caught your interest?", I asked.

"Hmmm now that I think about it, none has caught my eye yet", he said with a thoughtful expression.

"All the hype you've been doing the past two days and none has caught your eye?", I said.

"What about you?, Which of them are you interested in?", he asked.

"None at the moment, I'll have to hear the specifics from the clubs representatives to know which one fits my standard", I said.

"Well we still have about thirty minutes before they arrive". he said.

Thirty minutes passed by like a blur and the representatives started arriving.

"Come on let's move to the hall", Owen said as he dragged me by the hand.

When we reached the hall, it was already bustling with cadets.

The inside of the hall was like a market with many stalls, only the stall like structures here were for the club representatives to advertise their clubs.

"Okay then let's that with the first stall", I said pointing to the stall closest to the hall's entrance.

This particular stall had a south sitting in there, he was wearing glasses and surprisingly reading a book.

"This is the reading club" Owen whispered to me.

"Hello can you please brief us about your club?, I said to the youth.

"The reading club focuses on the passion of reading", he said in a sleepy tone.

'I seriously don't see anyone trying to join this club, the representative isn't even trying to get people to join.

Now that I think about it, it's the only stall that's isolated'.

"Thank you" I said before moving forward.

Going onwards, we went to different stalls, each representative doing their best to draw us to their side.

"Hey is that who I think it is?" Owen asked, disrupting my monologue.

"How do I know who you think it is?, am not you", I said sarcastically.

"At least look before you answer", he urged.

"Fine", I said turning around. The person he was talking about was Aurora.

"Why are you asking me something so obvious?", I quipped.

"Shhh, she's leaving the stall, let's go there", he said.

We went to the stall Aurora just left, and we were greeted by an overly enthusiastic girl.

"Hi juniors", she said in a spirited voice.

"This is the adventure club, if you join us you'll have the chance of going out of the academy once a month", she beamed.

'Now this is what am talking about, all the clubs I've seen earlier was not to my liking or simply too absurd'.

"Is there any catch?", I asked.

"No there's none apart from your expenses outside are on you, so every member makes sure to have enough credits", she answered.

"I think I'll join this club", I said to Owen. It took me pondering a bit but I decided to join this one.

"Well if you're joining then am also in", he said with a grin.

"Great", the representative clapped. "Scan this code and you'll get the form on your smartwatch", she said showing us a holographic board.

After we scanned the the code, we got the form, which we signed and became members of the adventure club.

"Well I fulfilled my deal, so what now?", I asked Owen.

"Come on dude, let's explore a little bit more, who knows, you might another good club", Owen said and he was right. In the end I ended up joining the hunting club and Owen chose the gourmet club.

"Really?, gourmet club, that's a you could think of out of all these clubs?", I asked.

"What's wrong with the club, it's a club that that deals with food aesthesics and taste", he grumbled.

"Your choice", I said.

"Hey wanna spar?", I asked him. I've been thinking about it for sometime and he's also someone with battle instincts so I think I could improve my combat better.

"Why the sudden proposal?", he asked.

"Just because", I said.

"Fine, let's do it, but where?", he asked.

"We're gonna start now", I said going out of the hall.

"Hey what do you mean", he asked.

"We're gonna start by a race to the dorms" I said.

"What?, are you crazy, why the hell will I want to race to the dorms?", he asked confused.

"Unless you agree am better than you" I said.

"Fine, we're on, and why are you smiling?", he asked.

"Am I?", I asked as I raised my hand to feel my face, and he was right I was smiling.

"Any way forget about that, in a straight line approximately four hundred and twenty five miles is the dorm area" I said setting us on a path.

"Now may the best man win, let's count down from three" I said.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Go"

"Boooom", a shockwave occured as we took off with immense speed.
