Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 118



Only Noblemtl

(118)

Monday morning.

“What if I oversleep on the first day? If I miss the restaurant hours, I’ll buy some bread at the cafe!”

“Sorry! Sorry! It’s just that my sleep cycle hasn’t come back yet.”

Sega ran across the lawn with this sword towards the main restaurant.

“uh?”

And then he opened his eyes wide in surprise, realizing that he had been running in the wrong direction.

“For those of you who are curious about the ecology of tree magic!”

“In our potion making club, for the first year freshmen… …!”

“The sky is yours! Welcome to Sky Knights, the home of telekinesis.”

“YO! Is this even a club thing? Let’s enjoy our youth for now. Come to the Shinseoul Hip Hop Club!”

Flags of all nations fluttered around the main building, and second-year seniors in fancy dress promoted their clubs in front of well-decorated booths.

“Take the pamphlet.”

“How is our club?”

This was the moment when the first-years had the relative advantage over the second-years.

“I’ll take you!”

“No. I said I’ll take you!”

A second-year senior wearing a short skirt and a second-year senior wearing a crop top fought, each pulling the hands of a first-year male student.

“Shall we go together? Let’s be together until the end of the world.”

A handsome second-year senior with a white face and wearing an idol stage costume threw a punch at a female student whose eyes were covered by her bangs.

“… … This is Kyeom. Do you know what the situation is?”

Sega asked, thinking that he might still be dreaming.

Lee Gyeom ran to the girls’ dance club to apply for the manager position, but was stopped by Sega and answered.

“It’s club week. I saw the seniors preparing on SNS. The more people you gather, the more support you get, but since it won’t be reduced if you drop out later, they’re trying to gather at least one more person.”

“ah.”

Sega headed to the restaurant, regretting not bringing his hiding hood.

And before I could even take three steps, I was noticed by over a hundred of my seniors.

“This is the situation! Is this the situation?”

Countless eyes flashed toward Sega.

“Where?! Where!?”

Sega understood the feelings of a large demon being raided in an instant.

‘There’s no way I could hide… … anywhere.’

It wasn’t easy for a tall man, ranked in the top five among first-year students, to hide his body.

“Sega! If you join our Gate Exploration Club, there’s something for you… … .”

“If you just sign here, I’ll give you two bottles of recovery potions every week!”

“Not interested in the stage? In our Hunters Celebrity… … .”

“Our ‘Sword and Flower’ will make a special suggestion first!”

From the second-year students’ perspective, the news was the best promotional material.

As he was the top student in all subjects, he would do well in club activities, and since there were many first-year students who wanted to become friends with Sega, he was able to gather a lot of people.

‘I have to eat combat rations in the classroom in the morning.’

Sega turned around and headed towards the restaurant.

This gentleman had already disappeared into the distance, pushed aside by the crowd.

Wheaaa …

At that moment, a female student descended from the sky like a ray of sunshine and pushed away the surrounding second-year students.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress like a Japanese idol’s stage costume, and she held out her hand towards Sega with her back to the eastern sun.

“The sky is yours! We are Sky Knights, a club specializing in psychokinesis. Sega. I heard you’re an ace in psychokinesis class. Let’s perfect cool techniques together, like flight, force fields, and reflective force fields. The Aurora Magic Bullet will also help you.”

She had been under the strict order of her professor, Banhaedo, to bring Sega back even if the sky fell.

‘If Jeongse brings students, I will give him four hours of private tutoring every week. But if Jeongse doesn’t bring students, I don’t know how much more attention I will give to this club.’

Chomp!

The moment Sega was about to grab his hand, a net made of blood flew in and knocked the Sky Knights’ vice president to the ground.

“Whoa!”

“Blood for the Blood God! Come join the blood-blood club ‘Nosferatu’! Absorption, blood flow rush, and even resonance waves. Let’s grow that bloodline together!”

A male student wearing a medieval nobleman’s coat in midsummer extended his hand to Sega with a seductive smile.

He, the leader of ‘Nosferatu’, was also threatened by Haejun Sang.

‘Student Jeong Se-ga is a student who will reach a new level of bloodletting and even the awakened one, so let’s make sure to secure him.’

Just before he took Sega’s hand.

thud!

A blue shockwave shot through the air and Nosferatu’s hand was blown away.

A male student wearing an eye patch and a modified hanbok over his shirt approached me, drawing a sword from his waistband.

“I am the president of the swordsmanship club ‘Murim’. You learned three techniques in one semester, right? You have the talent to become a sword master. This is the path for you, so follow me.”

‘Bring me three.’

‘yes?’

‘Bring me.’

He too was under strict orders from the Kendo God.

“Ha. A swordsman and a mosquito are going to attack the knights of the sky?”

The leader of the ‘Sky Knights’ stood up, shaking off the blood net, and prepared the salt magic bullet.

“Shut up, you lowly bastard.”

The leader of ‘Nosferatu’ had a blood flow test wrapped around his fingernails.

“This sword will reveal Sega’s future!”

The leader of ‘Murim’ raised his blue sword.

Three second-year students clash, and the president of the lightning club and the president of the pyromancy club rush in.

‘I want to eat breakfast.’

Sega ran away to Class 1.

* * *

“here.”

This guy threw me an energy bar.

“thank you.”

Sega, looking like he had just come out of a storm, was dressed in disheveled clothes and hair, and was biting into an energy bar.

Knock knock.

The door opened and Kang Joo-hyuk came in.

“… … .”

I was nervous for a moment, but he was just as battered as Sega.

I could empathize with the sight of them staggering through the crowd of factions, each consuming the same energy bar.

Students began to gather in the classroom.

Most of them were carrying beautiful pamphlets.

“Honestly, I have a desire to do something. But I don’t know what’s going on. Some clubs say you have to join only their clubs, and some say you can only come when you want. What did you guys decide to do?”

Sega asked the 8 trillion members.

“Me too, I don’t know anything.”

Iljinrim stretched out his sunglasses and sat down on his chair, and Joo Dahyun answered while combing her hair that was being stroked by her senior female colleagues.

“I decided not to take any general activities and to only take one club each for my major and external activities. My major is Sky Knights, and my external activities are about poisoning.”

“That’s why. I don’t even know the difference between general and external activities.”

Sega has compiled the pamphlets.

“I guess I have to step forward this time too.”

Lee Gyeom opened his mouth with a smirk.

“Corpse freak. Shut up.”

“Oh my. Segarang and Jinrim are curious!”

“Okay, Kyeom-ah. Tell me.”

“Shinseoul’s clubs are largely divided into three categories: general activities, major activities, and external activities.”

Sega nodded.

“I understand the major. It’s a subject. From what I’ve heard from seniors, it feels like half of it is an additional class. You can only take one more.”

“That’s right. I know. That’s my major, and the general activities are just regular clubs. Hip-hop, dance, K-pop, reading discussions, and other regular clubs that you can find at other schools. In the end, the most important thing is the external activity clubs.”

This gentleman showed me the screen of his smartphone.

In front of the gate, a dozen or so Shinseoul students were taking a nice picture with a basket full of magic stones.

Looking at another account’s photos, this time there was a photo of him going to an academic conference held by the World Hunter Association and presenting something.

“External activity clubs are the flower of Shinseoul. We need to have the experience and connections to get a job or start a business later, and we will provide those. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as important as classes.”

“Is that all?”

“Hmm. The sword and flower I just showed you is an external activity club of the 7th class Baek Sang-eon’s guild, that is, the Baek San Guild. The younger siblings or children of high-ranking hunters who attend the Baek San Guild serve as club officers and presidents, and their activities involve entering the gate managed by the Baek San Guild and taking out evil spirits.”

“It seems that even entering and exiting the gate is done through personal connections.”

“That’s right. Joining an external activity club means joining a faction and a career path. You have to make a decision very carefully. It’s not easy to get into an interview or a practical exam.”

Sega felt a pleasant sense of burden.

‘It’s a moment of choice.’

If they were the skilled seniors who had survived another year in Shinseoul, they might have been able to see through their own limitations.

But on the other hand, if you mix well, it is also an opportunity to build blood ties, school ties, and regional ties and get on the road to success.

“Hey, where did you find out? Should we just go with our group? Isn’t everyone going to get one?”

“Haha. This isn’t a group activity. Those seniors are so arrogant. A scavenger-turned-strong-body-shaman like me won’t be accepted unless I awaken my sword skills.”

Lee Gyeom shook his head.

“Even if we go to everyone, you’ll be the only one who accepts me? Even I think it would be foolish to take me away in this situation.”

Joo Da-hyun let out a bitter smile.

“Let me think about it some more.”

Iljinrim declined the offer.

In the end, out of the 8 groups, only Sega joined the external activity club.

Since I had some time to spare before joining the major club, I decided to think about it a little more, and I decided to quickly decide on the external activity club.

‘Swordsmanship, resonance waves, telekinesis. I don’t want to miss any of them. It’s hard to decide where to focus. I’d rather do outside activities with my seniors and standardize my style before deciding. If there’s an all-rounder among my seniors, I can get advice from them.’

* * *

Unlike major clubs or general activity clubs, external activity clubs did not promote themselves as actively.

They were trees rooted in the soil of Shinseoul, and if students wanted to climb up to the sky on those trees, they had to come find them themselves.

However, even the most arrogant of external activity clubs showed their executives gathering in large numbers for the visit of the top ace of the first year.

“I’m surprised. Honestly, I thought you’d go to an external activity club of one of the five major guilds, like Baeksan’s ‘Sword and Flower’ or Kangpung’s ‘Whirlwind’.”

“I saw the person, not the name.”

Sega bowed his head respectfully to his three seniors.

“Aren’t all three of you the top aces among the second-year students?”

Ho-Jun Lee, a telekinesis and body magician with a white face and a confident smile like Sega.

Park Wi-jin, a geomancer and bodybuilder with a rock-like appearance.

Even Ha-Ra-Im was born with the rare ability of ‘healing’, which is different from the bloodletting technique.

Three of the top 30 second-year students were gathered in one club.

“Don’t give me too much credit. It’s embarrassing to hear that from 78% of S-class people.”

The first reason I chose ‘Dream and Blood’ was because I thought I could learn a lot from each and every one of my strong seniors.

‘The second reason is because it is small in scale.’

In fact, this reason was just as important as the first.

Originally, ‘Dream and Blood’ also had one of the 28 guilds on its back.

Haraim, a high school student with lime-colored hair, was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Byeoksuyu Guild.

However, both the previous and previous presidents had no blood ties to the Byeoksuyu Guild, and as graduates from the ‘Dream and Blood’ club started to move to other guilds, the bond between the Byeoksuyu Guild and the ‘Dream and Blood’ club grew thin.

At the same time that the function of personal connections for employment was weakened, the ties themselves became thinner to begin with, so even if you later wanted to go to another guild or decided to start a business, there were no major problems.

“Lime, if it’s at Sega’s level, there’s no need for a separate review, right?”

Lee Ho-jun asked Ha-ra-im.

“of course.”

Haraim answered with a slightly cowardly smile on her droopy eyes.

An external activity club that students usually have to take a second interview and a practical test to get into.

In less than 10 minutes, Sega’s entry was confirmed.
