Recruitment of club members, which was the most urgent, has ended.
There were at least 4 necessary conditions for the establishment, so now all that was left was to get consent from other clubs.
Plan to receive consent forms as efficiently as possible using the club tour time, which will begin soon.
“I… … But is it really possible to get three consent forms within today?”
Before leaving for the club tour, one of the people gathered at my seat, Kim Se-ah, opens her mouth carefully.
“Given what the instructor said, it doesn’t seem like it’s easy to get a consent form, but how can I help?”
Kim Se-ah It was understandable to think like that.
Because there has never been a case in which Seoul Hero Academy has received three consent forms in one day.
However, I had the ability to be different from other ordinary students.
That I was the player in this game. And the point was that this body was Eugene Han Callione.
Using these two conditions, it was sufficiently possible to obtain three consent forms in one day.
“Don’t you worry. I already have a plan in place to get consent.”
And what they saw would further increase their faith in me.
“The boss has even said this, so let’s just watch. The boss will take care of it. Is not it?”
Jin-Woo, who noticed Se-Ah’s remaining worries, raised his tension in a bright voice and smiled wryly.
quick-witted guy.
Thanks to that, Kim Se-ah’s expression brightens up a little.
“yes!”
“Okay, let me check again this time. Then slowly… … .”
I checked my watch and the hour and minute hands were pointing to 8:59. The first class of the academy that starts soon. club tour.
Hearing the bell ringing at the same time as he got up from his seat, he said to the club members.
“let’s go.”
“great! Boss asking you to show your skills!”
“It’s okay to stay behind, right?”
“Let’s see how our club leader works.”
The students in the same class who started to go out of the classroom to explore, mixed with their gaps and came out of the classroom, and I went straight to the first group I had marked.
“Mr. Eugene. So where do you go first? I still don’t know the way to the academy… … .”
Kim Se-ah, who followed us like a duckling following a mother duck, gently asked me a question.
“The first place to go is a board game club. A bronze-level club located in the basement of the clubhouse.”
“board game… … Is it a club?”
“Yeah, the board game itself is a minor genre, so it’s an unpopular club. It’s not too far away, so I’ll be there soon.”
“It’s nice to be close. Oh, are you there?”
The building was too big to be called a hall. Other children who can’t keep their mouths shut on a gigantic scale that looks like a department store.
“This is the club hall. Most of the clubs in the academy are in trouble in this building.”
“Hey, is this the building where the bad club members gather?”
“Wow, that’s really big. Boss, are we going to be insolvent there too?”
“… … It’s different from the class.”
Then, suddenly, Kim Young-jae looks at me and asks if something is strange.
“By the way, aren’t there too many people around the hall for club activities?”
“Usually, we set up booths to attract new students. Most of them will be gathering in the playground or auditorium.”
“Then shouldn’t we go there too?”
Kim Se-ah raises questions after hearing that most of the clubs are located elsewhere.
“Board game clubs don’t promote at this time. Because there are many clubs to compete with. That’s why we usually recommend new students who couldn’t join the club to join.”
“Oh, boss, are you familiar?”
“Because I did research to form a club.”
As soon as they enter the hall building and head down to the basement, the children’s expressions change dramatically.
“Is it much darker than the first floor?”
Youngjae looked around and muttered.
Unlike the first floor, which is brightly lit with lights, as soon as you enter the basement, you immediately notice that the atmosphere is different.
The flickering lights and the musty smell of the basement. And even if they don’t clean, there’s garbage in every nook and cranny of the hallway.
If anyone saw this scene, it was a sight that could be called what kind of Harlem.
“The basement floor is a place mainly used by clubs from lower ranks, so there is no choice but to put poor conditions in such an environment.”
After hearing my story, Kim Young-jae nodded as if he understood.
After walking for about 4 minutes, we finally arrived in front of the room with the board game club’s nameplate hanging on it.
“Wow, it really looks gloomy from the entrance.”
“If you say that from the entrance, what will you do if you hear it from the other side? Can’t you be a little quiet?”
As soon as he stands in front of the entrance, Jinwoo spit out a poisonous word.
At this, Kim Young-jae frowned and said a word, and Jin-woo muttered to himself and approached the door.
“Boss, can I open this? Open the door?”
When he nodded to mean that, Jinwoo opened the door wide. At the same time, the interior scenery of the board game club unfolds before your eyes.
Countless board games were lined up side by side in numerous shelves reminiscent of a library.
“Ugh, the smell of dust”
As I went inside, waving my hands, I heard a murmur from the back of the display cases.
-… … I make bread.
-… … should i do
-… … Isn’t that traditional?
-Person… … this… … it is
-… … are you… … Joe.
-… … … all?
As we slowly walked towards the source of the sound, we finally saw a group of people gathered behind a huge showcase.
Six people gathered in a circle based on a game board that looks like a board game.
Perhaps feeling our popularity, one of them raised his head and looked at us.
“yes? what… … why in vain… … .”
A man who made eye contact with me and suddenly started rubbing his eyes.
Then he looked at me again, and, in shock, went backwards.
“Boss, chief! sa, man! Someone is here!”
When the guy with his body leaned back pointed at us and shouted, the man wearing red glasses also raised his head and looked at us.
“yes? what, what! four people?! Your daughter-in-law?!”
The other club members look at us only after being surprised by the manager.
“Gee, it’s true! A real person has arrived!”
“Are you a freshman? Are you a newb? Are you really a newbie?”
“Everyone, calm down! You may have come to filter the club competition!”
In the chaotic atmosphere, the manager first stands up and calms the surroundings.
The atmosphere is slowly fading away. When the murmur had finally subsided completely. The head of the board game club looked at me and opened his mouth carefully.
“Perhaps… … grade?”
“First grade.”
“Hey! Gee, you’re a real freshman! What do we do?! What do we do?!”
The manager, who is in a hurry at the word of being a freshman, runs around looking at the members.
“Calm down for now!”
“Right! Ooh, first of all, I’m going to ask you why you’re here! Maybe you didn’t come here to join a club! Hey, are you lost?”
“That, right? would that be? Oh, I see! I’ll ask you right away!”
No, while talking aloud.
The manager turns and looks at us again.
“Uh… … Have you come to join our club?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s not the case.”
“… … That’s right. So, have you really lost your way?”
“no. It is true that they came to the board game club.”
From this point on, the manager changes to a serious expression as if he sensed something strange.
“Are you sure you came to us? Why did the freshman come to our club?”
Judging from the looks of it, it looks like he didn’t come here to join, but he made a decision.
Here, I chose to go straight to the point rather than go round and round.
“I came to get the consent of the bronze club.”
“What?”
The surrounding air cools down.
“… … You mean you came here to ask for consent?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Are you a freshman?”
“I told you I was a freshman.”
“By the way, would you like a certificate?”
“Yes.”
“Pooh-!”
The manager suddenly burst out laughing at my answer.
“Pu ha ha! New students get a club certificate, no matter what. Are you there too? Like a freshman running hard to form a club?”
The manager, who bursts out laughing and wipes the tears from his eyes, lifts his head and looks at me.
“Do you know what it means that we give out club certificates?”
“Yeah, I think it’s kind of like a guarantor. If the club created with your consent is not maintained for half a semester, your club will be shut down as well.”
This was another reason why the academy’s clubs didn’t increase in quick succession.
In other words, it was also the meaning of the academy to issue certificates only to those recognized by the club.
“Are you still asking for consent?”
“Yes.”
“What do you believe in?”
came out The remarks announcing the start of that ‘event’.
“I’m seeing you for the first time today, would you like me to give you a consent form? Honestly, don’t you think it’s too shameless? So—-.”
The manager squatted down in his seat, looking at me and smiling brightly.
“────Let’s play a game.”
An aura emanates from him that is hard to believe for a man who was embarrassed by the appearance of a freshman until recently.
No matter how small the club is, he is the manager of one department. It meant that he had the power to protect a club.
“The conditions are simple. Your friends and members of our club are playing board games. The first to win three rounds after five rounds wins. What do you think?”
“Hmm, let’s play a board game… … .”
“why? Do you think it’s too much? But it is you who are sad. In the end, we have nothing to lose even if we don’t write it, so you think this is worth suggesting?”
A guy who talks singles as if he’s very relaxed.
The guys behind the manager were already having a heated discussion about what game to play with us.
It’s fun. Shall I play some more?
“They say we get a certificate when we win, what happens when we lose?”
“If you lose?”
fuck. And the corners of the manager’s mouth wearing red glasses are torn in both sides.
“All of you. You should join our club.”
Does it come out like this?
This is the ‘dark board game’, one of the ways board game club members recruit new students.
They made a bet on each other’s terms and made them join as members.
“Of course, it can be said that you will leave the paper club after accepting it, so you have to stay with our club for about a year. I’ll let you drop out when you’re in sophomore year. What do you think?”
He said it like that, but it was not an easy condition to accept.
The manager smiling evilly over there and the club members behind them will somehow do everything to show the joy of board games within a year.
So, with a bright smile, I announced the end of the game.
“──I will decline.”
