Chapter 47: A Fifth member (1/2)

On the way to the club room. Dan had told Novis about why he had run after him the first time. How he was impressed with his running and originally wanted him to join the running team. After realising the misunderstanding between the two. Dan went bright red as he was embarrassed by the situation.

”Why on earth would you think that?” Dan asked.

”Well there were rumours you know, I heard that you had never accepted a girl's confession, so even some of the girls think you might be...”

Dan quickly interrupted Novis before he could finish.

”That's only because I don't care about those things right now. I don't have the time to focus on girls and it wouldn't be fair on them.”

”Why join the VSW club then?”

”I've been hopping from club to club for a while now, but none of them interested me. After hearing that you had joined the VSW club I thought about it for a while and thought it would be interesting.”

Dan decided to leave out the part of joining because he was chasing after Novis. Novis already had strange thoughts about Dan, and Dan didn't want to come across as an even bigger weirdo.

”So where did you learn to fight like that?” Novis asked.

Novis was really interested, after watching Dan fight even Arthur said that Dan was impressive. Arthur said that Dan had a body gifted to him by the gods. A person who was born with a body to do sport.

”I used to be in the boxing club, but my parents didn't like me being in a sport where I could get hurt.”

Novis started to learn a lot about Dan. He found out about all the clubs and feats he had achieved, and all the medals he earned. Hearing all this Novis started to feel a bit down. In all this time Dan had already achieved so much and both of them were the same age.

While Novis had done nothing so far. There was not one medal or trophy in his room for anything. He was never top of his class at anything he was always just above average.

The two of them finally reached the club room and Scarlett and Alex were over the moon to see both of them in the room.

Scarlett ran over and lifted Dan's arm.

”What happened to you?”

Dan's fist was scuffed and red from punching barehanded.

Novis was a bit upset that Scarlett had completely ignored him and ran over to Dan. She was even holding his arm.

”Of course, who wouldn't fall for that pretty boy,” Novis said in his head.

Scarlett quickly went over to grab the first aid kit and started tending to Dan's hand.

”What happened to you guys?” Alex asked, ”Is everything okay?”

We explained how Mac's goons were outside waiting for Dan and how we handled the situation on the roof.

Alex slammed his fist at the table next to him.

”Dam that Mac.”
