Chapter 22 (1/2)
Blacksmith Volume 2 Chapter 2
Entering the school building from the courtyard, I went to the staff room located on the south side
I alking with forty-eight people spreading out behind le attached to iving me weird looks
I think I saw this scene in the show ‘The Great White Tower (shi+roi Kyoto/巨塔)’ before…
There’s no way this is actually happening, because doesn’t this ?!
Since everyone was followingfor a second to see ould happen, and they all stopped in unison as if they practiced it
…I have to ad kind of fun!
The downright pleasant sound of synchronized footsteps echoed throughout the hallway
Fortunately, the corridor is wide so there’s enough space for the other students to pass by, while I roup
The thing is, students that passed by us seemed awfully scared as they made eye-contact with me
…or rather the moment they did, they turned their eyes away
As we proceeded down the hallway, there were two people standing in the middle of it in some kind of deep discussion
They haven’t seem to realized ere here
“Hey you two, you’re in Kururi-san’s way”
Somebody behind me said aloud
The two of the the size of roup
They quietly mouthed “We’re so sorry” and quickly moved away
Wait, no, I’m the one that should be sorry!!
This is dangerous! The quality is too evil!
What are we doing?! Are we trying to conquer the school or so?!
“Uuys-”
I stopped walking and turned around
Woah!!
Turning around, I finally noticed the tightness of all forty-eight people there, and as their leader I naturally give off this aura that makes other students cower as we approach
“Everyone, answer this but don’t yell since you guys over do it a bit You see, I know it uys but not matter what, absolutely do notharm other students”
“””Yes”””
Oh, it looks like they understand
Maybe because we just started club activities, their loyalty to
If I show them my bad side, ill happen to me when I disappoint them?
Will I get stabbed?
Then again, what’s preventing theht now?
It wasn’t very long, but I think I just went through a terrible experience
Finally, ere at the staff room
I opened the door taking my first step inside, and of course they all followed
Surprisingly, the sheer population entering the room didn’t phase the teacher inside at all
“Wu-sensei”
It was my homeroom teacher
It’d be good if he could become my club’s counselor, I mean, he’s the only teacher I know
“I’ve created a club, so I’d appreciate so for it”
“So you’ve already roup too… but is this really the best ti a club?”
“Bucho(Club Prez) is busy, don’t waste his tiet to the point”
Busy hat?!
The only thing rushi+ng here was the beating of my heart!
With a sigh, Wu-sensei handed a form over to me
“Here, I’ve signed this for you your funds later but… Kururi-kun, isn’t your head getting a little big?”
A big head?! I could feel uess it could look that way from an outsider’s perspective
“Well try to get it in today, I ht?”
“Yeah got it, but remember to take the student’s autonomy into consideration when you have your extracurricular activities and et well”
“Okay, is there a classroom we can use then?”
“Of course, you’re free to use the rooms on the west side of the school, but other studentsthem as well, so make sure you have one booked first”
…I guess this wasn’t such an impressive school after all
I had unintentionally raised roup as suspicious as this be created?!
“By the e haven’t decided e’re going to do yet”
“That’s fine, enough h reason in itself I think it would be best for you to learn the power of nuoing to be in a position that naturally brings people together”
“…but wouldn’t it be dangerous to fully fund an organization that doesn’t even have a distinct goal in reat as this?”
Read between the lines sensei! If I disband it I’ll be stabbed, but they should let it pass if you stop it!
“Of course, although Kururi-kun, gathering together a large force like this also co it Don’t you think I would’ve rejected it by now if I didn’t think you could handle it?”
That’s…
…true, in this world there’s no such thing as sweet talk I ht only be 15 year’s old, but even I know that
“Wu-sensei, can you give ain?”
“Anytih hopes for you Kururi-kun”
“Yeah, well then let’s go everyone”
Everyone left the room on my cue
Well, I guess if we got this far I e of it
“Bucho, why don’t we return to the courtyard first to think of the direction we’ll take in the future? Then we can find a clubroom”
I nodded my head to Heart’s proposal, and we returned to the courtyard
“Everyone, fro about what direction I plan to take this club, so I want you all to listen!”
Everyone nodded in response
I startedmy proposition
“I still haven’t decided what to do yet, but I have decided our motive! We will be the one’s with the hearts of Gentle Lions!”
They all tilted their heads as if to say ‘What does that mean?’
“On the surface, those that have entered here have been considered superior in literary and military arts We’ve studied hard and know a lot, but even the A-class has neglected this! We need to ride off of this e their assessment of us!”
To fire the a smile to fuel their aspirations
“We’re no good as we are now In the future, we’re supposed to be the ones to stand over others with our abilities, and ill get to that point if we all put in so is to be able to see things fro That’s the caliber that we need! For those who stand above others, with the consideration of those below theoal! The heart of a Gentle Lion!”
“” “Oh” ”” voices of approval were raised
My first speech seems to have succeeded
I felt a bit uneasy with how they putable to see everyone’s faces gathered together
“Now let’s talk about where ant this group to go, if anyone has an idea do it with a show of hands”
…
No one raised their hands
I don’t want to have to start picking people!
“Uoal or not?”
The one who raised his hand was a guy with silky hair and glasses
“You’re… Thoh on the achievement test”
“Yeah, it is an honour to know that you know me”
