BlackCrown 15 : The First Year I Pt. 15

On campus, there were three well known and highly respected clubs that any student would want to join. One was the student council, which was the face of the academy. They handled all the student affairs and planned for future events. These students only took direct orders from the president of the academy.

The second club was one that everyone feared, it was known as the disciplinary committee. They were known for distributing punishment to students who acted out. If you dared to act out in front of them, you were bound to be humiliated.

Since the student council did not have time to solve all the trouble students caused, they took the lead on that end.

Having the chance to join either one of these two, anyone would jump at the chance. But the requirements to join them were high and not just anyone was allowed to join.

As for the final club, its name was shrouded in mystery. Little was known about their activities. What people did know was that the members of this club were allowed outside the school gates and they seemed to handle a special task.

The students started calling this mysterious club the secret society. If the top-ranked student was not in a club on campus, they were undoubtedly in this secret society.

The professors did not deny the existence of such club.

Ask a majority of students which club they would join if they could join any club. Sixty percent of them would say they would join the secret society.

Because it was so shrouded in mystery, the popularity of it outshined both the disciplinary committee and the student council.

Freya couldn't believe her ears, if she was in Nick's shoes, she would say yes instantly. She wasn't him, so she did not know what his answer would be.

However, if Nick really did join the disciplinary committee, then they would not have as much time to hang out as they did now. Suddenly Freya felt a bit sad, but she would not voice her opinion.

"Can I ask you what exactly does the disciplinary committee does? If I do join, what kind of benefits do I gain?"

Nick asked Fred. For him, such a club would take up a lot of his time, but if it did not benefit him, then he would decline.

"The disciplinary committee handles any problems that occur on campus; we are the first ones to respond. Being on the committee gives you the right to suppress your target by any means necessary, as long as there are no life-threatening injuries. If you use more force deemed necessary then you'll be punished. Lastly, any EXO user that is on the disciplinary committee has close relations with the special forces. Because our work is similar to there's in a way, our members have a higher chance to join them."

For him whose goal was to join the special forces, there was no need to say anything else.

"Alright, I'll join."

Fred nodded in approval. Reaching into his pocket, he pa.s.sed Nick a red badge.

"Wear that at all times. Today, you don't need to show up for any activities, but starting tomorrow, you will report to our headquarters."

"I don't know where the disciplinary committee headquarters is located."

Fred turned around and walked away going towards the exit.

"Sorry about that. Nick, we'll send you a message later tonight about the location."

Ca.s.sandra said as she also took her leave from the restaurant.

"Congratulations then Nick."

"Thanks. Don't worry I won't forget about you guys. We'll still have time to hang out with each other."

"Sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to start any sort of commotion. It's just Scarlet… she gets my blood boiling sometimes. Also congratulations bro."

"What's the deal with her anyways? It seems that you two knew each other already."

"It's complicated."

Freya lightly laughed as she slapped Matthew on the back.

"What's so complicated, it is not you two dated each other. Right?"

Matthew's face darkened at those words, and he did not deny them. Freya made an O face.

"We didn't date exactly, she's… my ex-fiancee."

"Brighten up man; you have us now."

Nick tried to cheer him up seeing as how he did not want to really talk about it. Given enough time he would come around.

"Freya, Matthew has Arena, I have the disciplinary committee. What plans do you have for a club?"

Nick changed the subject.

He was also curious as to what she would join. Yesterday they went to visit combat clubs but they never actually went inside because Freya wanted to follow her nose to see the drama.

They had time now to check out some clubs if she wanted.

"Oh, I ugh found something else. After we went our separate ways yesterday evening, I ran into this amazing girl. She invited me to visit her club, and somehow I ended up joining. It slipped my mind as I forgot to tell you about it."

"What club is it?"

"The sharpshooter club, but Nick. Don't you think you should tell us why you never told us you were a royal? I mean that is big news."

"t.i.tles don't really suit me, and my EXO is not that great. I believe saying I'm a royal is a little too much."

"Pft, if your EXO isn't that great then why are you ranked the highest? It can't be just for show.

I can't believe it; I've been talking to you all this time and never knew. I mean Matthew is one thing, but you're different."

"Hey! What's that suppose to mean?"
