Volume 6 Chapter 63: Recruitment Day

"Why are you guys eating so fast?" Keith questioned as he noticed how Herrick and Melor ate like there was no tomorrow. They were usually fast eaters, but this was different. They ate as if the end of the world was happening tomorrow!

"Can't." "Didn't you hear what Professor Aidiun said?" Those two weren't the only ones eating so quick. The others ate at a faster pace as well. Keith shook his head. It was all due to the words Aidiun said in class.

You all need to eat quickly during lunch. Something will happen in the later half, which is why most students were eating so quickly.

"Keith, you should listen to what Professor Aidiun said. He would never say something like that unless there was a reason." Aidiun was not the type of person to say something like that.

"I understand. But you'll get a stomachache if you guys continue like that." Their stomach is going to hurt from eating so fast.

"Keith, if you're not going to finish that, can I have it?" Jack questioned. Keith was eating at his own pace. The rest were done while he hadn't even finished half.

"Sure, you can have it."

"Hey!" "No fair!" Herrick and Melor jumped into the conversation. They should have asked as well! But while that happened,

"Is it just me, or is there something strange?" Faelyn looked around.

"So you noticed it too." Keith and Gabriel nodded.

"Only the first years are here." Usually, there would be a mix of various students of different years. However, the cafeteria was empty. About a third of the students came to the cafeteria.

"I wonder what they're going to do. Tristan was so secretive." Carolyn sighed.

"Indeed, Licht was the same as well. He wouldn't tell me anything." Alfia was the same. But as they said this,

"Greetings to all freshmen." Everyone looked up at the loudspeakers.

"Isn't that the principal's voice?" It was Cadmus speaking.

"Some of you must've guessed it, but it's a special day today! It's none other than club recruitment!" But after that,

"I have only one thing to say to all of you; don't die out there!"

"Eh?" Everyone's expression dropped when they heard that. Die? What's going to happen next?

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble.

What? Is the floor shaking? Everyone could feel the floor ready to burst. And they didn't need to wonder. They understood why as they burst through the door!

"Grab the freshmen!" "Bring them over to our club!"

"What the?!" "Have they gone mad?! Why are they acting like this?!" The 1st years were so confused by their upperclassmen. They looked like madmen.

"They're actually capturing people?" Keith gasped. Looking around, some freshmen were tied up and brought away!

"Is that legal?!" Jack asked. He couldn't believe it, and there was no need to question it.

"And if anybody is wondering whether or not this is legal, yes, it is! You guys signed the paper when you first enrolled!"

"..." You got to be kidding me! Keith didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this!

"The hottest freshmen over there!" "Get them!"

"Keith! They're coming at us!" Jack readied himself as he saw the swarm approaching. But who could blame them? The group did have the highest number of freshmen. There was Herrick, who was known to be the strongest freshman. And there was Alfia, who was the same in the magic department.

"Who cares! Actually, this is better for us!" Herrick grinned, "That means we can fight them!" He and Melor crunched their knuckles. Since they wanted to steal them away, they had the duty to punch them out!

A battle ensued—well, it was more one-sided. Melor and Herrick beat them up like there was no tomorrow! The upperclassmen didn't expect the two to fight back!

"Princess Alfia, Duchess Faelyn, please join our group!" Elves quickly approached Alfia and Faelyn. Unlike the rest, the elves didn't dare to try to capture the two, not after what happened with Iston.

"We already joined a club," Alfia commented. When she said that, the elves didn't dare cause more trouble as they walked away.

"When did you guys have time to join a club?" This was news to the rest of the island.

"Did you guys join Licht?" Keith questioned.

"Yeah. How did you know?" She didn't tell anyone about it. It was going to be a surprise.
