“Okay, I think we're done, you can go.” Frederic leaned back in his chair and sighed

Leonard, Sylvia, and Maria started heading toward the door

Only Alexander remained standing where he was

“Is there a problem, Alexander?” Frederic raised an eyebrow

“I have something important to discuss.”

Leonard and the rest had stopped to hear what Alexander had to say

But Frederic looked at them and said. "You can leave..."

The three left, not daring to disobey Frederic's orders

" so, what do you want?."

“Cough, you know that I have been putting in a lot of effort recently to help the academy solve these difficult problems.”

“And who do you think is the cause of these problems?”

“These are details, sir, and the devil lies in the details, so let us ignore this matter and not place the responsibility on anyone.”

“...” Frederick did not expect Alexander to be so shameless

“Actually, I'm thinking of starting a new club.”

The instructors looked at each other

They didn't understand why Alexander was opening this topic here in particular

Club matters were organized by the student council

If a student wants to open a new club, he must go to the Student Council and submit a request

“And...” Frederic felt that it was not that easy

“I want... to create a club related to chemistry.” Alexander answered after some hesitation

“...” The instructors’ eyes widened

Once Alexander mentioned his desire to open a chemistry laboratory, they all remembered that strange substance that was supposed to be soup.

“I think it's a good idea.” Eric got up from his seat. “Our academy needs a club like this.”

“…” The instructors looked at Eric with blank looks

They all knew that Eric and Alexander had a special relationship

Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

They would not be surprised if Alexander had already asked Eric to support him when he brought this matter before the Council

" chemistry?." Frederic rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said after a few seconds. "I don't think it's a good idea."

Alexander knew that Frederic was reluctant to accept his request because of the foul liquid

But this will not stop him from achieving his goal. "Mr. Frederic, in addition to cooking, I have a passion for chemistry."

Frederic did not show any convinced expression and seemed to be still thinking about the matter

Alexander continued. “I know you're worried about what happened because of that foul liquid, but it wasn't that bad—”

Frederic interrupted. “It wasn't that bad? We had to call in the Anti-Bioterrorism Squad to deal with that material.”

Frederic's face was not good. He had to deal with those strict and annoying men who continued to bother him for a while during the investigations.

He wanted to scream at them. 'Take the damned liquid and leave.'

But they were part of the Imperial Guard and were not easy to deal with. So he had to suppress his anger

“ Anti-Bioterrorism Squad?” Alexander frowned

He did not know the divisions of the Imperial forces

But their name sounds great and makes them seem tough and expert at handling dangerous chemicals

Alexander tried again. “It was a one-time mistake. I assure you it will not happen again. I need a chance.”

Frederic rubbed his forehead. “Go to the student council and fill out the application form to open a new club.”

"..." Alexander remained silent

"Can you spit it all out at once?" Frederic did not understand what this boy wanted from him

“I need ten students to start a club.”

" this is normal."

"Can I get an exception??"

" no."

“But I helped the academy and—”

“Alexander, how many times do you have to repeat the same sentence? You don't have to repeat this every time just because you solved the problems you created yourself. ” Alexander repeated this sentence for the second time, making Frederic helpless

He must stop Alexander, otherwise he will continue to use this as an excuse to gain benefits

Alexander rubbed his neck. “Do you really expect me to be able to get ten students so quickly?”

“I'm sure there are a lot of people interested in chemistry.”

“That's not the problem... Do you really think anyone will join the club when they know that I'm the club president?”

“...” Frederic came to this sudden realization

Alexander was right

No student would dare join a club of which Alexander was a member

Frederic tried to think of a way to help Alexander out of this predicament

But he failed miserably

Alexander's reputation was irrevocably ruined

Nothing can polish his reputation

Alexander spoke. “How about you let me start a club with just five other members?”

“This...” Frederic was hesitant

This was an established law and an exception could not be easily obtained

“I think we should give Apprentice Alexander a chance.”

A feminine voice came out

Everyone turned to the person who spoke

It was instructor Christina who spoke

Even Alexander was surprised by her words

He didn't have much interaction with this instructor

But he was grateful that she supported him in his time of need

“Okay...” Frederic gave up and decided to let Alexander start a chemistry club

" Thank you all." Alexander bowed quickly and left without delay

He was afraid that Frederic would think about the matter more and suddenly change his mind

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

Create a club?

Do you think I have time to play with others?

I am someone who has debts to pay

These are the thoughts I had when I saw the message Eric sent me

I told Eric that I was busy with something so that I could avoid meeting him

Clearly, that man has come up with a new plan , and this time I will not participate in it

But that man refused to give up and sent me messages about the topic he wanted to talk about

He wanted me to create a club and gather people to make friends

I looked boredly at the little booklet Eric had sent

I wasn't very interested in starting a club or anything like that, but I wanted to know some information about the academy's clubs because I might need this information one day.

Here I found a paragraph in this booklet that caught my attention

'Financial support and resources are provided to each club according to the number of its members and its contributions to the development of the academy.'

I ignored the written nonsense because my eyes were glued to the word 'financial support'.

Financial support, this sentence resonates well with me

After researching this matter in depth, I was able to find useful information

It seems that every club receives a monthly sum of money

The most famous club in the academy, the Hunting Club, received an amount of one hundred thousand coins per month

My mouth nearly dropped to the floor when I read this

This amount was larger than I imagined

I expected them to pay a hundred or at best a thousand coins

Of course these coins did not come for free

The Hunting Club was the largest club and included dozens of students who were the elite and the best at hunting monsters

Not only do they receive financial support from the academy, but they hunt monsters that roam in villages and remote areas for money

Their system was more like a guild of adventurers who would undertake various missions to obtain money

Building this system was currently difficult for Alexander

But he can create a new club through which he can obtain materials from the academy and at the same time he can earn money

“ instructor, let's start a club.”
