I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 43-1: - Gourmet Club (3)

Baek Yu-Seol tried to remain as composed as possible when he asked him the question.

"... Are you saying that you can create a special outing club?"

"Yes, I am. I can make it happen," Mayuseong replied with an air of confidence.

Baek Yu-Seol looked at him and shook his head.

Mayuseong had a vast network of connections, and he was affiliated with powerful factions within Stella.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Well, with his connections, it should work out just fine.

Although the idea of connections was somewhat daunting, Baek Yu-Seol realized that they would be useful in situations like that.

He slowly thought about the advantages that would come his way when Mayuseong would start the club.

The club would allow free external activities, provide health insurance, and offer the opportunity to enjoy cheese fried pork cutlets.

He wouldn't have to worry about any unnecessary restrictions either. Plus, having someone like Mayuseong nearby would be beneficial.

However, there were also some concerns that crossed his mind.

Mayuseong and he had little interaction up to this point.

Despite his ability to showcase his gaming knowledge and portray himself as a genius, Baek Yu-Seol found it suspicious that he would offer to create a club for him so readily.

"What's the catch?" he asked. "What benefit do you get from starting a club for me?"

He knew that Mayuseong was the closest to the darkness, so he had to be careful.

"There is. You're special, you know."

"... What the hell are you talking about?"

Then, suddenly, their eyes met. Within his already dark eyes, something like a thick black mist seemed to be wriggling.

"You No."

Baek Yu-Seol was about to ask what he meant when he suddenly shut his mouth.

One of Mayuseongs fundamental problems was that he suffered from extreme loneliness.

As he thought about that, he couldn't help but nod his head.

"Okay, lets start a club."

When the positive response finally came out of his mouth, Mayuseongs expression brightened.

"So we'll be doing club activities together, right?"

"Yeah, but you have to let her join too." Baek Yu-Seol pointed at Eisel, and she opened her eyes wide.

"M-me?"

"Well, you're already a homeless person with nowhere to go, aren't you?"

"Well, that's true, but..."

Mayuseong was unstable right now. He was like a fish that dies, turns black, or goes crazy when picked out of the water.

If it were a trait, it would probably be called "glass mentality.

Mayuseong definitely needed someone to take care of him.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">{TN:- The term "glass mentality" refers to a state of mind that is fragile or easily shattered, like glass. In other words, it might be used to describe a person who is emotionally delicate or vulnerable.}

But, Edna was out of the question. She was always busy playing around with Haewonryang. That left Eisel, the protagonist of the original romance novel. Only she could take care of him.

In the original work, Mayuseong and Eisel had a tragic romantic relationship where they couldn't be together and ended up dying. So, if a couple were together in a small space like a club, wouldn't it be likely that they would end up together?

"If a beauty like Miss Eisel joins, I welcome it too."

"Don't call me Miss, it bothers me."

<em class="chakra-text css-0"> It still seems like a long and difficult road ahead, but it will be okay.

Mayuseong said that he would yield the position of club president to Baek Yu-Seol, so he ended up writing the club application.

During break time in Class S, he showed the application to Eisel and Mayuseong, who were seated in front of him.

[Club Application]

[Club Name: Social Club]

[President: Baek Yu-Seol]

[Members: Mayuseong, Eisel]

[Purpose: Social Gathering]

Thunk!

Eisel slammed her desk.

"... Is this what you call a club application?"

"Why are you getting angry?"

"Who writes 'Social Gathering' as a clubs purpose? And you didn't put any effort into the club name either. This won't get approved at all, and even if it does, we won't be able to go out."

She rubbed out the application form with an eraser.

"Your purpose in creating a club is for external activities, right? But as a rule, it is not possible for students to establish clubs with a purpose of 'external special activities' such as hunting. You must join a club assigned by the academy."

"Oh, I didn't know that," he replied.

"However, there is a loophole here. It is not a problem to engage in 'external special activities' other than hunting with the permission of the supervising professor."

"I see," he said, realizing that he knew very little about club regulations.

In the past, when he played games, he could come up with just any name for a club without much thought.

The name of his previous club was "Kickass Yu-Seol." However, in reality, there were many things to consider, making his head spin.

"That's why most private clubs have different real purposes. Activities such as external volunteer work and medical support can be supported with activity expenses and receive official recognition, enabling external special activities as well.

But then again, during hunting, they had to sneak in those activities from time to time.

Volunteering? He'd rather not.

"So, think of a purpose for going out that is acceptable to the professor and won't be too much trouble for you. Moreover, it should also provide some reasonable activity funds."

Actually, there was one thing hed been wanting to do ever since he set foot in Aether World for the first time.

What about a 'gourmet' club?"

That was right. A gourmet club that explored restaurants.

"Excuse me?"

"Literally a club that revolved around restaurants."

She was about to say it was absurd, but paused for a moment.
