Chapter 29.2 - Recruitment Period and Strange Group [2] – part 2
29. Recruitment Period and Strange Group [2] – part 2
「Haa, understood… just a little…」
「T-Thank you…!」
Then, she took three steps back, and put distance between us.
However that – was the worst judgement.
「Ah, senpai that spot is…」
The place where she moved to was,
「Eh…? Heba!?」
The ones that I inserted amidst the exchange of blows, Second Sword – Hazy Moon. One of those inserted slashed, precisely shot the back of senpai’s head.
「Ha…?」
After a painful blow that came from outside her awareness, she fainted with her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
(W-What an unlucky person…!?)
The number of Hazy Moon that I inserted in this wide gymnasium was only a mere three. She didn’t really have to move back and put distance between us……
As I dumbfoundedly looked at the unconscious senpai,
「D-Deputy Head!? What exactly happened!?」
「…It was a slash! Look closely, it is also inserted in other places!」
「Kuu, stretcher… bring a stretcher!」
The members of the swordsmanship club hurriedly carried over a stretcher.
「Wi-Winner! Allen-Rodore!」
The referee declared the result of the match as so, while the gymnasium was in a state of turmoil.
While watching the club members carry Silty-senpai to the infirmary with a sidelong glance,
「For the time being… let’s return to the classroom.」
「Y-Yeah.」
「Un, let’s do that.」
The three of us decided to return to the classroom.
「Fuu…」
After returning to Class A, I was finally able to take a break.
「Good job, Allen. It was a disaster.」
「It was really terrible.」
「Ahaha, well it was a good experience.」
I feel like I somewhat grasped the method to break a『Defensive Sword』.
After that, we discussed about the real issue a hand – which club we were going to join.
「About that, Allen, have you decided which club to join?」
「Have you?」
Ria and Rose, simultaneously asked me.
「U-n…」
I carefully reflected on all the clubs we looked around today.
And then,
「…I think I’m not going to join any.」
I made that decision.
「Does that mean… you’re going to be independent?」
「Un, I don’t think I need to force myself to join any.」
As one of the pleasures of academy life, I wanted to participate in club activities, but…
That’s it! There wasn’t any club that seems to fit me.
(The one club I was interested in, the Swordsmanship Club, was a little off…)
Rather than joining a club just for the sake of it, I’d rather just be independent.
And then,
「I see…」
「How unfortunate…」
For some reason, Ria and Rose dropped their shoulders.
「……」
「……」
「……」
Because the two of them had a frown and were silent, the conversation flow stopped.
(Eh… did I cause this?)
After that, as I was thinking about a new topic to somehow break this silence,
「……! Nee, if that’s the case, why don’t we start a new club!?」
「…! That’s a good idea.」
Ria suddenly said something ridiculous, and Rose promptly agreed.
「S-Start a club…?」
「Eh! Since it’s Allen we’re talking about, it’s probably gonna be a sword swinging club?」
「Well, sounds about right…」
They are not wrong, they are not wrong but…
Judging by the way they put it, it’s as though I am a『swinging human』who has no interest in anything but swinging the sword… I was a little hurt by that.
「If that is the case, you just have to set up a sword swinging club!」
Ria said so with full of confidence.
「If you are recognized as a club, you can use the academy grounds to a certain degree, and above all else, you can even get club budget!!」
「…Academy grounds freely, huh?」
I honestly don’t care about the club budget, but…
It was very attractive to be able to use the academy grounds freely to some extent.
(If I submit an application, can I use the pool?)
With the resistance of water, sword swinging and strengthening the body – there is no doubt that the range of training will expand.
「Certainly… that may be feasible.」
「Yes right! Naturally, I will join the club!」
「Me too!」
「I-Is that alright? The only thing we will be doing is swinging, you know?」
「Yeah, it’s fine! (Now I have an excuse to be with Allen…! And three hours at that!)」
「No problem! (I can study swordsmanship right beside Allen…! And three hours at that!)」
Ria and Rose nodded yes many times over.
Apparently, they were both starving for『wanting to swing』.
I felt a little happy to find friends who have the same interest.
「If you’ve decided to do so, let’s get straight to the procedures!」
「Strike while the iron is hot!」
Saying that, they ran out of the classroom – and a mere three minutes later, they were back.
Ria was holding the『Application Form for Establishing Club Activities』in her right hand.
「We did it, Allen! Leia will be our club advisor!」
「Three people are required to join as members to be recognized as a club. Our number is just perfect!」
「I-Is that so… thank you.」
The club establishment progressed forward on its own, while I did nothing.
(Well… it’s truly just a club for swinging, so it’s fine I guess)
The only difference would be either swinging alone or swinging with everyone.
In that case, it would be more fun to do it with everyone as a club.
Even while I was thinking about that, the blanks in the『Application Form for Establishing Club Activities』were filled up quickly.
「Ah… that’s right, Allen. Let’s decide the club’s name!」
「I want Allen to name it.」
Let’s see… Un, let’s make it simple and call it『Practice-Swing Club』?」
It’s a super simple name, clearly representing the club’s activities.
「Practice-Swing Club… I think it sounds good.」
「Un, understood.」
As we were working towards establishing a club – the classmates who were looking around the club activities, returned back to the classroom.
「Oh, what are you doing Allen?」
「Practice-Swing Club…? Are you starting your own club?」
「Whaat, Allen’s club…!? In that case, I’ll join!」
「M-Me too!」
「Nee nee, Allen. I, intend to join the swimming club, but… is it possible to join two clubs?」
After that, as a result of allowing to join even while being in another club, it was decided that all Class A students would join the Practice-Swing Club.
In this way, the Practice-Swing Club boasted an unusual scale of 30 members, even though it was newly created, and it is recognized throughout the academy as a『strange group that keeps swinging sword every day silently in the corner of the schoolyard』.
