Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 59

 

 

 

30. Let’s Make a Club (3)

 

 

There was a slight problem.

Ernest was falling behind.

“Huff, huff!”

Unlike Leila and me, Ernest hadn’t awakened his mana yet, so he was considerably lacking physically, and the distance between him and the Physical Fitness Club members was gradually closing.

“D-Dane! I’m done for! Go ahead without me!”

That wasn’t possible.

The club creation rule basically required all founding members to be present together.

“Haha! Catch the one falling behind first!”

“Club President, he looks pretty weak?”

“Everyone has muscles! Muscles can be built! Even a scrawny guy like that can become a fine man in a few months!”

Was it my imagination that Ernest looked back with a strangely tempted expression?

“M-muscles…?”

Anyway, I pondered what to do.

A method for Ernest who was falling behind.

I couldn’t force him to run.

If I directly applied mana carelessly, who knows what might happen.

For subduing purposes maybe, but I still couldn’t go ‘that far.’

In that case—

“Answer my call.”

I had no choice but to summon the only creature I could call.

“Uwaaah!”

Ernest was startled when Gendpu suddenly appeared and rolled on the ground in shock.

“Ernest, get on. Gendpu, I’m counting on you.”

“Kruk!”

Gendpu went over to Ernest, who had just gotten up, and lowered his body as if telling him to climb on. Ernest hastily climbed onto Gendpu’s back, and soon the sprint began.

“Uaaaah! S-save me!”

He’s incredibly fast.

“C-Club President! W-what is that thing?”

“Amazing! To think someone with that physique can even summon creatures! He’s definitely a talent we must recruit!”

Maybe I should have just attacked with Gendpu?

“Uwaaaa! Dane, this is super fast!”

In the midst of all this, Ernest seemed to adapt quickly.

“Dane, is it okay to bring out summoned beasts in the Academy?”

“I don’t know. It should be fine if we don’t get caught.”

Anyway, Gendpu sprinted through the streets like that, and Leila and I followed behind. After putting some distance between us, I stopped Gendpu and dismissed the summoning.

“Kiiing.”

“See you again next time.”

Well, I felt a bit sorry since I’d never properly used him before, but what could I do in this urgent situation?

“Let’s run to the Academic Affairs Office.”

“What kind of situation is this?”

“Ow ow, my butt.”

So we ran to the Academic Affairs Office while maintaining a precarious distance, and finally succeeded in arriving.

I grabbed the first person I saw and quickly spoke.

“Suspicious people are chasing us. Please call the Student Council Disciplinary Committee quickly.”

“S-suspicious people?”

The person who appeared to be a staff member looked at the Physical Fitness Club members chasing us, then seemed to understand and frantically pulled out a crystal orb, while we slipped into the Academic Affairs Office.

“What’s going on… Oh my. Student Dane Sogress?”

“I came to resubmit our club application. I’ve already prepared the documents.”

“What about the professor’s recommendation?”

“Professor Keltas Redfield, who’s in charge of our Autonomous Department, has vouched for us. He promised to come and sign the recommendation soon.”

At my words, the staff member looked somewhat suspicious but soon nodded.

“Yes. I understand. Since it’s student Dane Sogress and no one else, I’ll trust you. But if this turns out to be false…”

“Whether it’s suspension or expulsion, I’ll take full responsibility. I promise on the name of Count Sogress.”

When I brought up our family’s honor, the staff member looked surprised.

“Y-you don’t need to go that far… Anyway, I understand. Let me look at the documents. The founding requirement of 3 members is here… Swordsmanship Department first-year student Leila Termion, Exploration Department first-year student Ernest Dylan. Is this correct?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“The club name field is empty?”

I wrote down whatever came to mind on the document.

“Please put this.”

“Ah, yes. The club name is…”

Bang!

Just then, the door opened and the Physical Fitness Club members burst in.

“Dane Sogress! Now you can no longer escape! Hahaha!”

“Just give up obediently and join our club! Letting your physique rot away would be a loss for all humanity!”

A sigh could be heard from behind.

“It’s those guys again.”

Seeing them act like this, it seemed this wasn’t their first or second time doing this.

“Leave now.”

I spoke nicely.

But those guys didn’t seem to have any intention of giving up.

“Do you think we’ll back down obediently just because you say so, Dane Sogress! I will definitely make you a member of the Physical Fitness Club!”

Was that glistening on their bodies oil or sweat? Hoping I’d never have to find out in my lifetime, I pointed behind me.

“Really? What a shame. I just created a club.”

The club president’s face instantly contorted.

“What did you say?”

“I said I created a club. Sorry and what a shame, right? I don’t think I can join the Physical Fitness Club.”

“S-such cowardly…”

The club president trembled like someone who had been scammed.

Then the staff member behind chimed in.

“Club creation processing completed.”

And immediately the office door opened and a booming voice was heard.

“Physical Fitness Club, we finally caught you!”

It was the Student Council Disciplinary Committee.

Their eyes looked fierce, as if they’d been tormented no less than others.

“We can finally arrest you guys who destroy the Academy’s peace and constantly cause public disturbances!”

“D-damn it!”

“You were spread out like a cell organization making it difficult, but now we can finally catch you!”

They were hard to catch because they were spread out like a cell organization?

Couldn’t they just grab any obviously burly guy they saw and beat them up?

It was a moment when the Student Council Disciplinary Committee’s competence became questionable.

“C-Club President! What do we do?”

“We have to run! The moment we get caught by these guys, our plan to fill the entire Academy with waves of muscle will be disrupted!”</Human: Continue with the next chunk (CHUNK 2 of 3). Remember:

What a grand dream.

Wouldn’t it be faster for the Academy to collapse instead.

“Deploy the smoke screen!”

Bang!

But at that moment, a smoke bomb suddenly exploded and the room instantly became chaos.

“Cough! Cough! It’s smoke again!”

“Damn it! Catch them!”

Laughter echoing through the smoke.

“Hahaha! You stupid fools! Come and try to catch us all you want!”

But I could see it.

No, I could sense it.

The figures of the Physical Fitness Club members trying to escape through the smoke, taking advantage of the confusion.

“St-stop those bastards!”

Amid the desperate cries of the Disciplinary Committee, I drew up my mana.

Whooom-

At the same time, my mana spread toward the exit.

And the mana that hung like a curtain became a solid wall, blocking the Physical Fitness Club members who were about to leave.

“Wh-what!”

“Damn it, something’s blocking us!”

“The door is clearly open!”

True to their muscle-bound nature, they tried to push through by ramming with their bodies, but it didn’t seem to work.

A 2nd Chain-level magic, ‘Mana Barrier’.

“Draw up your mana and push through!”

“It still won’t work, it won’t budge at all!”

“Club President, what do we do?”

Even in this situation, I could feel tremendous vibrations transmitted through the mana, so I could tell these guys were exerting tremendous effort.

They live up to their reputation.

It doesn’t seem like fake muscle.

But they won’t be able to escape.

Click.

I approached the back and opened the window, and thanks to that, the smoke gradually cleared and the Physical Fitness Club members who had been struggling at the door began to become visible.

“You bastards! Cough! Block them from getting out!”

The Disciplinary Committee finally came to their senses and rushed toward the Physical Fitness Club.

And a little later.

“D-damn it! We got caught!”

“Hahaha! We finally caught them!”

All members of the Physical Fitness Club were strung up like fish on magic binding rope and arrested.

The guy who appeared to be the Discipline Committee Leader was rejoicing with an expression as if at least 30 years of built-up frustration had been relieved.

“We can finally refer you bastards who disturb the Academy’s order and peace to the disciplinary committee!”

“To be caught by guys with soft muscles like you… it’s a disgrace to the Physical Fitness Club!”

“Damn it! How did this happen! The door was clearly open!”

They’re having quite the argument.

In the midst of this, the Discipline Committee Leader approached me.

“Hey, freshman. Did you help us by any chance?”

“Something like that.”

“Thank you. Your name is… no, looking at your hair, you must be that rumored freshman. Dane Sogress.”

The Discipline Committee Leader offered me a handshake, and I clasped his hand.

“Thank you sincerely for helping us catch those cunning Physical Fitness Club bastards. We’ve been chasing those idiots for a whole year.”

They chased those idiots for a whole year?

It was a moment when I questioned the qualifications of the Academy’s Disciplinary Committee.

“They’re very cunning and meticulous guys. Just when we thought we caught them, they’d slip away, and cutting off their tail was frequent too. But now that we’ve caught that club president fellow, the Physical Fitness Club won’t be able to exert any more power.”

“Ridiculous! You people who don’t understand the beauty of muscle are truly pitiful!”

“Club President! As expected!”

I shook my head back and forth.

I don’t particularly want to join the Student Council, but at this moment I felt the same way as this Disciplinary Committee.

“Anyway, on behalf of the people who suffered damage from these Physical Fitness Club bastards, I express infinite gratitude. In that sense, our Student Council Disciplinary Committee will actively cooperate if you, Dane Sogress, ever request our help.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Of course, it would be even more so if you joined the Student Council!”

When a subtle sales pitch came in, I turned back to the two of them.

“The matter’s been resolved, right?”

“Did you create the club because of those muscle idiots by any chance?”

Leila, that sharp girl.

“Well, that was one reason… but isn’t the important thing that we created it? Honestly, joining any other club would just be bothersome.”

Since it wasn’t wrong, Leila seemed to accept it too.

“Yeah, well. It’s a bit disappointing, but whatever. We can just have fun among ourselves.”

Ernest also nodded.

“Right. I’m so excited! What should we do first? Exploration? Or training? I like anything!”

Come to think of it, I should think about what we’ll do.

“Let’s start by solving the map we obtained. We’ll think about what’s next then.”

“Good!”

“Good. Wait. Then who’s the club president?”

At Leila’s question, I tilted my head.

“Obviously me, isn’t it?”

“…Is that how it works?”

“Well, I was the one who suggested creating it.”

“Hmm. I see.”

Toward Leila, who looked somewhat disappointed, I casually suggested a position.

“How about you be vice president, Leila?”

“Well, if you’re asking me to.”

She likes it though.

I also made a suggestion to Ernest, who looked similarly disappointed.

“How about executive director, Ernest?”

“Executive… director?”

“Yeah. You’d make executive decisions about various events and budgets. I’ve been thinking about it since we decided to create the club.”

Actually, I just thought of it.

“By the way, it’s an extremely important position.”

Actually, there’s not much to do. For now.

“C-can you really entrust such an important responsibility to me?”

Ernest asked me with surprised eyes.

There are only three of us, so what is there to execute anyway.

Still, appropriate titles are necessary.

I put my hand on Ernest’s shoulder with a quite serious expression.

“You can do it. I think there’s no one more suitable than you.”

Because you’re the only one left.

“Dane… can I really do it?”

“The position makes the person. Once you adapt, you’ll naturally do it. Of course, even if that weren’t the case, you’d do well.”

“…!”

Ernest nodded with a quite serious expression.

“I’ll do my best.”

“Good.”

With this, even the most difficult position problem was easily resolved.

Maybe it’s because they’re kids.

I feel a slight pang of guilt in my conscience.

“Anyway, let’s get together and hang out when we have time.”

“Great!”

“So now we’ve joined a club too!”

“Technically, we created one.”

Swordsmanship training.

Adventure and exploration.

And everything else besides that.

The club activities, called the ‘flower’ of Academy life, had begun.

“Don’t resist and just get dragged away quietly!”

“You bastards! Our muscles won’t disappear just because of that!”

“Forget about muscles and worry about disciplinary action!”

Maybe it’s because those annoyingly troublesome guys who caused all this are being dragged away.

For some reason, it’s a good day.

But how many days has it been since I enrolled for things to keep exploding like this?

“Dane, what are you going to do now?”

“Me? I’m going back to the dormitory.”

I subtly pointed to my chest in response to Leila’s question.

“I need to feed this one.”

“That’s right!”

“We forgot about it!”

Leila and Ernest excitedly grabbed onto me.

“Show us quickly!”

“Me, me too!”

I looked at the two of them and held up a finger as if I had no choice.

“Not here. Let’s go outside.”

“Okay!”

“Yeah!”
