"?"

That's it?

Yato's eyes widened, he opened his mouth, but finally managed to utter only one sentence: "Shirogane didn't join the club either, did he?"

“He has special circumstances and needs to make time for part-time work, which has been approved by the school.”

"There's no rule that says students have to join clubs, right? I did it like that in my first and second years of high school."

"That's exactly why!"

Kirisu Mafuyu raised her voice and looked intently into his eyes.

"You must cherish this last semester. Academic performance is important, but you shouldn't neglect other talents. I firmly believe that everyone has their own unique abilities, and as a teacher, I have a duty to help you become a more valuable person!"

Yato felt that she wasn't advising him, but rather explaining her educational philosophy.

"So the teacher thinks that I can realize my self-worth by joining a club?"

"No, I can't guarantee that."

Kirisu Mafuyu returned to calm.

"There are many people who go astray simply because they are obsessed with a certain interest, but for you, the most important thing now is to try. Doing nothing is absolutely not an option."

"...Okay, I'll find a club to join."

Yato replied helplessly.

Of course, this is a lie.

It's been a period of club recruitment lately, and that's probably why Kirisu Mafuyu has been paying more attention to it. He was just unlucky enough to be discovered.

After this period of time passes, I believe the other party will forget about it.

but--

"It's good that you're willing to do it. I've just taken over a new class and I'm quite busy, so I might not be able to give you my attention in time. So, as a substitute, I've found you a partner."

When Kirisu Mafuyu said this, her eyes looked a little unnatural.

no way.

She felt extremely ashamed that she couldn't take full responsibility for the situation she had created.

"What do you mean?"

Yato suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ahem, please come in, Yukinoshita-san."

Instead of answering directly, Kirisu Mafuyu called out someone else's name.

The next moment, a black-haired girl walked in expressionlessly.

Her silky hair and delicate features, even though her figure looked a bit too slender, did not diminish her charm.

Wearing a black sleeveless school uniform dress, she gave off a somewhat ascetic nun-like vibe.

"This is Yukino Yukinoshita. She just returned from abroad and transferred to our high school as a second-year student," Mafuyu Kirisu introduced to Yato. "Like you, she doesn't participate in any clubs. After her homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka-sensei, learned about your situation, she suggested that we resolve your issues together."

"Igarashi, as a senior, please guide the juniors to familiarize themselves with the campus. At the same time, I hope that you can encourage and help each other to successfully join a club and enrich your extracurricular life."

"Please give me your guidance, senior."

Yukino Yukinoshita's manners are impeccable.

The demeanor of a top student was displayed to the fullest extent.

But Yato couldn't detect a trace of friendliness or respect in her tone.

It's clearly just superficial.

Leaving the staff room, I came to a spacious corridor.

The sunlight was still at the same temperature, but Yato felt it was inexplicably blinding.

They say the start of school is the beginning of hell.

There is indeed some truth to that.

Thinking back, some unpleasant incidents also occurred at the start of the school year in the past two years.

"senior?"

Yukino frowned slightly as she looked at Yato, who was standing there in a daze, and called out softly.

"Ok?"

Yato snapped out of his daze and realized what was happening.

"Sorry, let's go."

Standing here, I'm quite conspicuous.

If he is conspicuous on a physical level, then Yukino Yukinoshita is conspicuous on a sensual level.

Although she just transferred schools, Yukino, with her beauty that rivals that of Kaguya Shinomiya and Aki Adagaki, is destined to soon come into everyone's view.

Even standing here now, passing students would notice this odd pair.

Shuchiin Academy does not prohibit students from dating.

But no matter what, they didn't look like a couple.

Yukino didn't care about other people's opinions. She seemed to have gotten used to being the center of attention and was more concerned about the upcoming schedule.

"Senior, I've memorized the school map. To save our time, I think we can go directly to visit the clubs."

(Note: There are no 'supernatural' things outside of this worldview, such as a royal court! Also, the update time will be irregular before it is officially released, but there will be at least three chapters a day. Please give me flowers and add it to your favorites!)

Chapter 11

Hearing this, Yato felt a little strange and turned to look at her: "I agree with what you said, but have you decided which club to join first?"

Yukino pondered for a moment and then said, "I prefer literature. What about you, senpai?"

"To be honest, I'm not interested at all."

Yato crossed his arms and said calmly.

"I've heard that most boys tend to be interested in sports clubs. You might want to check it out, senior. You might find one that interests you. If you don't choose anything, you'll probably have a hard time getting past Kirisu-sensei."

Yukino hesitated for a moment before offering her suggestion.

"Indeed, but forget about sports clubs. I'll just find a casual club to get by."

Yato pursed his lips.

"..."

Yukino frowned slightly; she disapproved of Yato's carefree and casual attitude.

However, she has no right to interfere with other people's choices.

As long as the other party can join the club, the task of 'mutual encouragement' is completed.

Otherwise, just pretend you didn't see it.

Today's classes are over, and there's still plenty of time.

The two first went to visit the literature department's clubs, and after the trip, Yukino's face turned pale.

She felt like she was going to a private salon founded by politicians and wealthy businessmen, rather than a club or association. It wasn't that the clubs were completely devoid of academic merit, but they certainly weren't purely academic venues.

It's more like a social club for young elites with similar interests to expand their networks.

"how so."

Yukino held her forehead and groaned.

Yato didn't seem to care and stood aside, opening a bottle of mineral water.

"That's just the way Shuchiin does it. If all else fails, how about we consider a hobby group?"

"A hobby club?"

Yukino muttered, a look of hesitation appearing on her face.

Compared to formal clubs, hobby groups that are only nominally affiliated with the student union but do not receive any financial support are generally smaller in scale. Fewer people mean fewer messy things and they are relatively purer.

but……

Is her involvement really a good thing for both parties?

"Never mind... I'll go check out the clubs that my senior is interested in."

"Then... um?"

Just as Yato was about to suggest going to the fighting club, he suddenly noticed an unusual commotion.

Many students are consciously converging in a certain direction.

"That direction... seems to be the kendo club's dojo."

Yukino noticed it too.

He carefully recalled the map in his mind and said uncertainly.

"Oh?"

Yato's eyes lit up.

"Come on, I'll take you to visit the kendo club."

"..."

Yukino followed behind him expressionlessly.

……

The club wields extraordinary influence within Shuchiin Academy.

It is the second pyramid besides the social classes formed by family background and family status.

At the very top are sports clubs.

Football, baseball, tennis, volleyball, swimming, track and field, rock climbing... the world now boasts a wide variety of large-scale competitive sports, and naturally... martial arts, which best showcase individual prowess, are also indispensable!

Kendo, Judo, and Karate are the three highest peaks of Shuchiin Academy.

However, the main force of karate has just graduated, and there is no one among the younger generation who can take the lead, causing its popularity to plummet to its lowest point. Kendo and judo do not have this problem yet, as most of their main force is still there, but they still cannot ignore the future of the club.

Otherwise, the karate club is the best example.

So, the two companies discussed it.

I plan to use the simplest and most effective method.

By showcasing the captivating aspects of combat skills through actual competition, new members can be attracted to join, and with a larger number of participants, there will inevitably be some promising talents.

“So popular.”

Yukino was a little surprised, realizing she had underestimated the club's influence at the school.

They are currently inside the kendo club's dojo.

The dojo is quite spacious; more than two hundred people can sit around it without feeling cramped.

However, in order to maintain order at the scene, the Kendo Club only allowed this number of spectators to enter.

The rest of the people could only peer out from the windows or block the doorways.

Noticing this, Yukino looked at her senior with a strange expression.

It was this 'carefree' senior who led her through the crowd to get in.

Although it was described as "squeezing," she didn't feel much resistance and just kept moving forward, as if the people in front of her automatically parted.

There's an indescribable sense of unease.

"Judo club versus kendo club? Judo club is doomed to lose."

Unlike Yukino, who was kneeling properly on the ground, Yato sat cross-legged with his chin in his hand, scanning the two teams' positions on the field and quickly drawing a conclusion.
