Professor Idra shook her head and said.

Is a ‘Clown Alliance’ club that strange?

“What about the club members? You know you need to recruit at least five more, right?”

“Hehe, of course I know that.”

When I said it confidently, Professor Idra clapped her hands and opened her mouth.

“Have you perhaps already gathered all five?”

“Not exactly.”

Professor Idra said, “Oh, come on!”

“Do you have anyone in mind for club members?”

“Yes! I’m planning to have all the students in the special class join the club I’m creating!”

Professor Idra, hearing my words, looked flustered, her eyes wide and mouth agape.

“A-all the special class students?”

“Yes! All of them!”

I said, holding my hands wide open.

There’s a reason I want to have them all join the club.

With their level of talent, they would quickly become strong no matter which club they joined.

But if I utilize my in-game knowledge, they can become strong much faster.

If they become stronger, we can eliminate those corpse-devouring bastards even a day sooner.

To finish everything within a year.

That is my goal, no, my mission.

“Is there even one special class student who said they would join the club Loki is creating?”

“Yes! There’s exactly one!”

Professor Idra, hearing my words, let out a deep sigh.

“Haa… Should I be sad that there’s only one… or happy that I managed to persuade at least one?”

“So,” Professor Idra said.

“Who is that one person?”

I extended a finger and pointed at myself.

“It’s me!”

“……………….”

I’m part of the special class too, aren’t I?

So it’s not wrong.

“…Were the professors who taught me feeling like this? No, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I was as difficult as student Loki…”

Professor Idra, who had been muttering to herself with her head bowed, suddenly lifted her head.

“How do you plan to bring the other special class students into the club?”

Well, obviously.

“I have to persuade them.”

Professor Idra frantically pounded her chest as if frustrated.

“I mean! By what method?”

How, you ask…

“Hmm… With my handsome face?”

Professor Idra groaned as if angry.

“Do you know what this first-year class is called, student Loki?”

Of course I know.

“Loki’s Generation?”

“The Miracle! It’s the Generation of Miracles! Really!”

Professor Idra, perhaps to cool her head, gulped down the cold water on her desk.

The cold water in the cup instantly disappeared.

“Professor-nim, if you drink too much cold water suddenly, your stomach will hurt later.”

“Right now, my head hurts even more because of student Loki!”

Perhaps because she had drunk something cold too quickly, Professor Idra rubbed her head.

“The Academy evaluates clubs in various aspects like achievement, scale, and number of members to provide activity funds, and one of the biggest evaluations among them is ‘future’. How much more will this club grow in the future?”

Professor Idra said, “In other words…”

“All clubs will try somehow to get the special class students, who are called the protagonists of the Generation of Miracles, to join their clubs to receive more activity funds.”

“Heeh~ Is that so?”

When I said it calmly, Professor Idra spoke in a slightly louder voice.

“Spear Arts Club, Magic Research Club, Economics Club, Spirit Club, Merchant Club, Swordsmanship Club.”

Professor Idra suddenly listed the club names.

“The clubs I just mentioned are large-scale clubs among those trying to recruit special class students. They are trying to get special class students to join their clubs for honor rather than for activity funds.”

“Hmm… That’s more than I thought.”

“At least this many clubs are targeting the special class students. Since they are all formidable clubs, they will surely propose significant support to the special class students.”

“But,” Professor Idra said.

“Can student Loki make as groundbreaking an offer to the special class students as those clubs can? Surely you’re not thinking of asking the special class students based on sentiment?”

Professor Idra was speaking with a rarely serious expression.

That must mean she’s treating me seriously.

“If I were to do such a thing, Professor Idra-nim might be disappointed, so how could I use such a method?”

Even hearing my flattery, Professor Idra didn’t laugh heartily but asked seriously.

“Then what are you planning to do?”

“It’s simple. I just need to make them an offer that’s far more attractive, amazing, and appealing than anything those clubs can offer.”

“…What is that offer?”

“That’s a se……”

I was going to say, ‘That’s a secret,’ but I didn’t. I didn’t want to say that to Professor Idra, who was looking at me so seriously.

“Professor-nim, currently there are eight students in the special class, including myself.”

“…………….”

It was a somewhat out-of-the-blue remark, but Professor Idra listened quietly.

“I will make this offer to the special class students.”

They will accept my offer.

Because other clubs cannot make the same offer as me.

“If all of you join the club I create, I will make sure you all enter the top 10 rankings within one year.”

“The special class students are already all within the first-year top 10 rankings…”

I cut off Professor Idra’s words.

Because she was mistaken about something.

“The ranking I’m talking about isn’t the first-year ranking.”

“…Surely not?”

“Third year. The ranking I mentioned includes up to third-year students, the overall academy ranking.”

[Heeh~ So that’s why Oppa trained so hard when he got home earlier.]

I spoke with Yerika via communication device again tonight.

The topic of conversation was different every day, but today we were talking about the test that morning.

[Hehe…fufu.]

Yerika’s laughter could be heard through the communication device.

During our call today, Yerika laughed like that intermittently.

“Yerika, did something good happen today?”

[Oppa came home after the Academy and brought me a gift, and it really pleased me. Just looking at it makes me smile.]

A gift that makes her smile just by looking at it…

I couldn’t guess what it was.

“What is that gift?”

I was curious so I asked Yerika directly, but.

[Hehe, that’s a secret.]

Yerika didn’t tell me.

She even changed the subject.

[More importantly, when did you make that doll during the test?]

“I didn’t make it during the test; I made it when I was bored last time. So it has a lot of imperfections.”

But did I mention the doll?

“……….”

Lucas must have told her.

It’s not an important issue, so I shouldn’t worry about it.

[Oh, right! Clown-nim, I don’t think I’ll be able to talk tomorrow.]

“What?!”

Hearing Yerika’s words, a loud sound escaped me unconsciously.

It was rude to suddenly speak so loudly, but Yerika actually laughed.

[Fufu, is not being able to talk to me sad enough to make you that surprised?]

“…Yes, it’s very sad.”

[Heeh?]

Yerika made a strange sound and abruptly cut the call.

“…………”

Since coming to the Academy, I had talked with Yerika every day, so I hadn’t considered the possibility of not being able to talk. No, I deliberately hadn’t thought about it.

How will I sleep tomorrow…

I was walking with Johanna now.

“Look there, it’s an Academy uniform.”

“Looking at the emblem on the arm, it’s the Disciplinary Committee!”

“The guy next to her is a student I haven’t seen before.”

People whispered as they saw the Academy uniform.

Finding students in uniform inside the Academy was easy, but.

This place was outside the Academy, not inside.

There was a Disciplinary Committee armband on my arm.

This was because today marked the start of the club experience period.

“Originally, we were going to conduct uniform inspections…”

Johanna, who was walking beside me, muttered in a small voice.

As Johanna had said, she and I were planning to do uniform inspections at the school gate, but the other Disciplinary Committee members said it would be better for the two of us to patrol outside, so Johanna and I were now patrolling outside.

She paused.

Johanna, who had been walking fine, suddenly stopped.

“Sunbae?”

“…It’s nothing.”

I looked at where Johanna’s gaze was directed.

There, a bald old man was selling skewers.

The skewers were cooking temptingly.

“Sunbae, should we buy a skewer and eat it as we go?”

“You shouldn’t eat while on patrol.”

Johanna spoke firmly, but her gaze was fixed on the skewers.

“Wouldn’t it also be the Disciplinary Committee’s duty to eat the skewers and check if there are any problems with them?”

Even I was dumbfounded by what I said.

“B-but.”

But it worked on Johanna.

Just how badly does she want to eat them…

“If there’s any problem with the skewers, something big might happen, so I think it’s a good idea for us to eat them beforehand to prevent it. Don’t you think so too, Sunbae?”

Nod nod.

Johanna nodded silently.

In the end, Johanna and I each held a skewer in our hands and patrolled while eating.

“It’s Clown Ajusshi and pretty Unnie!”

Just then, someone called out to Johanna and me.

It wasn’t a familiar voice, but it wasn’t a completely new one either.

The girl who was with me when I first met Johanna ran towards us.
