81: Chapter 3 Let’s Start a Club!_2 81: Chapter 3 Let’s Start a Club!_2 She purposely knocked on the table to emphasize her point, and for the umpteenth time, the eyes of passersby in the fast food restaurant glanced over, which the quartet with strong psychological resilience ignored.
“Therefore, I have a great idea!” the blonde hat girl said excitedly, “Let’s form our own club!”
The gray-haired young man habitually objected, but he stopped midway.
Think about it, Gongsun Ce, is there anything about this suggestion that needs opposing?
Forming a small club with just acquaintances would grant them an activity room within the university, so they wouldn’t have to come to a fast food restaurant or coffee shop every time, enduring strange looks from others while chatting.
Furthermore, doing something with these few people also sounded fun.
Completely unrelated to any grand plans or secrets, and no need to worry about one’s heart being ripped out by a newly met bad woman.
Just an activity with a few friends…
relaxed, enjoyable, soaking in college life…
Shiyu said with a smile, “Isn’t that pretty good?”
The young lady nodded repeatedly, and the gray-haired young man hammered his fist, “It’s rare that you’ve come up with a good idea.”
“Right~!” Kardesia said with self-satisfaction, “Central United University has only been established for seven years without much history to speak of.
There are plenty of club vacancies waiting for us to discover.
I thought of a very interesting idea at lunch today, and you’re going to love it—”
She pulled out a tablet from her backpack, which had a drawing of a red…
thing that looked like a winged dog.
Gongsun Ce thought the unknown creature was likely an abstract logo for a Hot Dog Enthusiast Club.
Kardesia, amid the puzzled looks of the three, raised the sign excitedly, “Giant Dragon Phenomenon Research Club!”
The Superpower User and the other two responded immediately with the same meaning.
“No way.” “Veto.” “That doesn’t sound good.”
Gongsun Ce pointed at the uninformed female college student across the table with a french fry, “No reason!
I know you’re interested in dragons, but researching the giant dragon phenomenon isn’t suitable for a club activity.
It’s not about the elderly’s ingrained biases against dragons and superpowers, but a rational decision from a sensible student.
Proposing to veto any idea related to dragons.”
“Seconded.” “Seconded.”
Councilman Qin and Gongsun Member raised their hands in agreement, and Gongsun Member’s proposal passed with an absolute majority of three votes in favor.
The vetoed Spencer Member, furious, said: “Then come up with another idea!
I will absolutely—absolutely—not agree if it’s not interesting!”
“Heh, easy.” The gray-haired young man adjusted his glasses, “I have a proposal that no one will refuse, look!”
The Superpower User created a twenty-centimeter tall robot model out from white material, its majestic appearance identical to the pattern on the T-shirt Shiyu Lianyi had received a few days ago.
“Invincible power, iron body!
A justice fighting for everyone, with a heart gentler than any!
A dream everyone holds, the hero in children’s hearts, it’s the Super Robot—”
“You’re vetoing it before I even finish?!”
Kardesia ignored her friend’s protest, waiting for the expressionless girl’s idea.
During their argument, Qin Qianbai had finished a bucket of fried chicken.
She slowly cleaned up the trash and started stating her ideas, “Superpower Mixed Martial Arts Department.”
“The activity consists of challenging other fighting clubs.” Miss Qin picked up the hovering notebook, pointing out each one by one, “First, the Superpower Sumo Club, then the Physical Enhancement Karate Club, followed by the target of New Style Taekwondo Club and the High-Tech Armament Club.
After defeating the close-combat clubs, we’ll battle with the Archery Club and Sniper Club from afar.
By fighting all the way through, we can achieve the first goal of dominating the entire school.”
“Then we’ll battle other high schools, aiming to unify the City of the Sky.” Miss Qin raised her fist, “Look, look, this is a face full of anticipation for the future, please vote for the Superpower Mixed Martial Arts Department.”
Gongsun Ce held his forehead in silence, and Mr.
Shiyu buried his head back into the book.
Kardesia said, bored, “Rather than calling it Superpower Mixed Martial Arts Department, it might as well be called Little Qian’s Invincible Department.
Watching Little Qian beat up weaklings is not interesting at all.”
Qin Qianbai withdrew her hand.
“Besides, fighting itself isn’t really fun.
Finally called upon, Mr.
Shiyu raised his head, “I think the Mystery Novel Club is a proposal worth considering…”
“Super boring, vetoed.”
Shiyu resignedly went back to reading, and the debate on the club’s theme between the gray-haired glasses man and the blonde hat girl went into the second round.
The debate between Gongsun Ce and Kardesia had entered the seventh round, supporters of the Otherworld Indie Game Production Club and Urban Legend Research Club arguing intensely with no clear winner.
Qin Qianbai raised the tablet above her head.
In place of the red unknown creature, there was a line of black text, “Think of a solution, Mr.
Shiyu Lianyi cleared his throat, “Ahem.
May I say something, you two?
If we can’t think of a theme everyone likes for the time being, perhaps setting it aside isn’t a bad idea.
Continuing the debate in such uncompromising states, we may only end up with something like the Cyber Ghost Music Club, full of elements but impractical…”
“Huh?” “Wait a second.”
Both debaters turned their heads at once, and Shiyu Lianyi got a bad feeling.
The gray-haired glasses man thought, “Cyber Ghost Music Club…
combining modern technological style with traditional folk culture, feeling a sense of everyday life unrelated to crises…
Kardesia excitedly patted her friend on the back, “Rarely did you come up with an interesting idea, Lianyi!”
Shiyu Lianyi was at a loss for words.
He had truly shot himself in the foot, no, dug a hole and buried himself in it.
The young man in the suit held on to a last hope looking at his yet-to-express friend—
The words on the tablet were changed to “Good idea.”
Shiyu Lianyi sighed, and the blonde girl announced excitedly, “Our club has been decided as the Cyber·Ghost·Music Club!
Let’s follow the tradition of the white coats and add a · in the middle to stand out!”
She stood on the seat, raising her right arm high, like a Holy Warrior leading suffering people from darkness to light with a torch.
The rest of the customers listening to half an hour of club debate clapped, filling the fast food restaurant with applause.
Kardesia’s suit-clad follower made a final struggle.
I think you should remember, according to our school’s rules, the minimum number of people required to start a club is five…”
The blonde hat girl’s arm froze in mid-air.
