Chapter 410 - Turns (1) (1/2)

I looked up at the sign in the club building. Smiling in front of the ancient artifacts club room, I opened the door. Instead of meeting the others at the café today as usual, I decided to come here to test out my chances. If everything went as planned, then this would be where we would be meeting from now on. Ignoring the club members staring at a person oddly entering the room without knocking, I searched for the headgears.

”Excuse me, may we ask who you are?” A club member politely interrupted me.

”Do you have any headgears here?” I turned to them, not wanting to go through all the shelves.

”It should be on the second shelf from the right beside where the gaming consoles and comic books from the third district are located,” another member cautiously answered.

My eyes instantly spotted the shining gaming supplies and entertainment devices on the shelves. How could I not discover this place sooner? It was my mistake for spending all my days at the café. I brightly smiled while walking to a high school student, ”can I join this club? Do I have to submit an application?”

”Are you sure you have the time as a middle school student- .”

”I have the time! Please let me join!” I interrupted her, holding both of her hands.

”Please? I never knew such a club existed or I would have joined earlier,” I had tears welling in my eyes.

”Here's the application form,” a member sighed.

Surprisingly, all I had to do was to write my name and what class I was in. It was simpler than I thought it would be, not having to write the reason why I wanted to join. I quickly handed over the form after signing everything, wanting to be a part of the club as fast as possible to use the headgears inside this room.

”You're from the Roselia family?” A member looked shocked.

”No way! Give me that form,” the other members didn't believe her.

”She's also the leader of the Impalia fraction!” another member gasped.

”She actually is!” A member's jaw almost dropped.

”Isn't she the one engaged to the heir of the Roselia family? The ones inside the four most powerful fractions?” another member whispered to the rest of them.

”So can I join the club?” I interrupted them.

”Of course you can join,” they looked at me in a new light.

”Am I officially a member now?” I tried to confirm.

”Yes, would you like to join us?” A member gestured to me to sit with them.

”Can I use some of the artifacts in this room?” I wanted to use the headgear.
