The sudden intervention of the Clan and .
It was a bit bewildering, but I could understand.
Of course, the forbidden Holders of each clan had all joined .
If you had to na the big shots among the first year students, two nas would be ntioned without fail.
Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun.
One was the only daughter of a clan master, and the other was the daughter of soone who was practically the clan’s power broker, even if not the master.
The fact that they had joined a circle with the slogan of ‘opposing villains’ was bound to worry each of their clans.
Thanks to that, it seed they had publicly announced their support for our clan.
“And I think their interests happen to align to so extent.”
“Their interests?”
When I asked about Professor Kim Myeong-hyun’s words, he nodded.
“Hasn’t the Villain clan been quite active lately? Not just individual cris, but a lot of clan-level movents. Like the recent attempted assault on the clan.”
“Ah….”
I understood right away.
A forest covered by snakes.
The clan had attempted to raid the discovered dungeon that the clan had prepared ticulously.
It was a large-scale raid with spy Min Chae-hwan and clan mbers from the clan’s Gangnam branch.
It was an incident I had directly experienced with Hunting Team 5.
Thanks to ’s wise and proper response, the attempt was thwarted, but it had been quite the topic in society.
Even for the notoriously reckless clan, outright trying to infringe on another major clan’s interests like this was extrely rare.
‘The clans have also beco more wary.’
So after that, the vigilance of major and mid-sized dostic clans towards the clan had strengthened.
The fact that and were supporting the academy circle this ti was also likely part of that wary stance.
In Moon Ga-eun’s case it was even more so.
Having directly endured Kim Do-yoon’s assault in the sa place as , it would be strange for the not to be pissed.
In a way, this incident was also the clan making the first move against the .
…Even if unintended.
“Either way, it’s great fortune for our circle.”
Two of the top three dostic clans supporting an academy circle?
Looking back at the history of the Holder Society and the academy, cases like this were practically unheard of.
It was the most ideal situation for running a circle.
Professor Kim Myeong-hyun also nodded with a smile.
“That’s right. So Holder Do Jae-hyun, don’t worry about external factors and just focus on running the circle. My intuition is… our circle will be able to accomplish great things.”
“Yes, Professor.”
After that brief conversation with Professor Kim Myeong-hyun.
We returned to the circle room.
Taking a mont to chat and then coming back, at so point all the recruited mbers had gathered.
Faces I hadn’t seen earlier like Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun were also there on one side.
I lightly nodded to them in greeting and went to the middle of the conference room to take the mic.
“To the mbers gathered for the newly established Anti-Villain circle… Nice to et you all. I’m a first year student, Do Jae-hyun, who established and beca president of Anti-Villain.”
Clap, clap, clap, clap-
As I broke the ice, thunderous applause sounded.
Never having stood in a position like this or taken on a big title before, my heart sohow fluttered.
Now that I had resolved to make changes, I had to take responsibility for my actions.
Bearing that heaviness and slight trembling, I continued speaking.
“First, before introducing the mbers and outlining the circle’s blueprint, I’ll introduce the professor overseeing our circle. He’s a forr Combat professor, Professor Kim Myeong-hyun.”
Clap, clap, clap, clap-
Once again, applause filled the conference room as Professor Kim Myeong-hyun smiled and took the mic handed to him.
“Yes, nice to et you all. I’m Professor Kim Myeong-hyun.”
Professor Kim Myeong-hyun calmly looked over each of the mbers gathered in the conference room.
“As you know, I have classes to teach and personal matters that keep busy, so I don’t have a lot of ti. But since this was our circle’s first eting, I felt I had to co. Since there might be mbers who don’t know my face as the advisor.”
Professor Kim Myeong-hyun smiled warmly.
His conversation skill really seed unfair.
The professor’s unique benevolent impression and way of speaking politely even to students.
Listening to that, I found myself absentmindedly nodding along to his words.
That’s why nice-looking people with kind faces were so persuasive no matter what they said.
“I’ve already briefly received information about the mber students, so I know most of you. So if you have any questions related to the circle or suggestions, please let know through Holder Do Jae-hyun. As the advisor professor, I’ll consider any reasonable opinions positively.”
He then briefly concluded his words.
“I, and the academy as well… we have a lot of interest in our circle, externally and internally. Even though it’s a circle made by students, I think that’s exactly why you can produce more aningful results. So I hope the fellow students also take pride and work hard on circle activities. Well then, I’ll leave the remaining proceedings to Holder Do Jae-hyun and take my leave.”
Clap, clap, clap, clap-
Brief and concise introduction and explanation.
Unlike most veteran professors, Professor Kim Myeong-hyun neatly finished speaking and left the conference room.
He probably wanted to stay until the end of the first circle eting, but it was a miracle that such a busy professor at the start of the sester had co this far.
He must’ve barely made ti.
After giving him thanks, I took back the mic.
“Okay, let’s now start the first eting and conference of the Anti-Villain circle. First, since we don’t know each other well, I want to introduce the mbers.”
I first looked at the female student sitting right next to .
She was Yoon Ji-ah, the only 3rd year among our circle’s mbers.
Yoon Ji-ah nodded at my gaze and stood up from her seat.
“Hello. I’m a 3rd year Mage, Yoon Ji-ah.”
Ah…!!
Wow, wow….
It really is senior Yoon Ji-ah….
With her brief introduction, admiration filled the conference room.
Yoon Ji-ah was a quite famous student at the academy.
A president who had led the large circle since 2nd year, a Mage evaluated as the most mature among the current student Holders, noticeably beautiful looks, etc…
Even 1st years entering 2nd sester knew her, so the reputation she had built at the academy over 3 years was considerable.
And that Yoon Ji-ah had left and joined the newly established circle.
Naturally, the other mbers couldn’t help but be surprised.
“As so of you know, Senior Yoon Ji-ah was the president of Fla Dance, an upper year Holder, until just a few days ago. Thankfully after leaving Fla Dance, she has joined our circle. The experience and know-how she has accumulated leading a large circle will play a big role as our new Anti-Villain circle moves forward, I believe.”
Clap, clap, clap, clap-
As I introduced her and Yoon Ji-ah slightly bowed her head, thunderous applause sounded in the conference room.
…It was louder than for Professor Kim Myeong-hyun.
The mber introductions continued after her.
The number of mbers recruited for the establishnt of was 22 total.
Among them, Yoon Ji-ah was the only 3rd year, and the remaining 21 were made up of 2nd and 1st years.
There were a lot of nas I was hearing for the first ti among the 2nd year mbers.
Many who had joined boldly for their own reasons, or personal grudges, and so who had entered after only seeing Yoon Ji-ah’s na confird for the circle.
That’s how the 8 2nd year mbers had gathered.
The remaining 13 mbers were all 1st years.
‘And among the 1st years… so many big shots gathered.’
As I started introducing the 1st years, I was amazed internally.
Students who were a hot topic in the year, students ranked at the top with outstanding grades, students drawing external interest as well…
Truly various and highly-skilled students had gathered.
“Ahem. I’m Park Jin-woo.”
“I’m Kim Chae-eun-“
First was Park Jin-woo, who had joined the circle per our agreent, and Kim Chae-eun, who had directly suffered harm from the clan at the academy.
Both were talents who had been promoted to upper classes after just one sester.
Including , we were the 1st years rumored to have the fastest growth.
“1st year Mage, Kang Juyeon.”
“Hello, I’m Moon Ga-eun.”
And the ones whose involvent had led the and clans to intervene.
Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun.
From academy enrollnt until now, they were the most popular and attention-grabbing students.
If there were 2nd years who had entered the circle after seeing Yoon Ji-ah, there were 1st years who had entered after seeing these two.
That wasn’t all.
“…Ji Yoon-jae.”
There was also Ji Yoon-jae, a Holder whose expression managent seed especially lacking today.
He ranked second among the 1st year Assassins.
With this, you could say we had gathered all the major direct combat head students.
‘And…’
After introducing the five key mbers, I quietly looked at one side of the conference room.
A student with a sharp face and hair down to his eyes, giving off a gloomy aura.
To the other mbers, he was likely the most unexpected mber.
“I’m Lee Hyun-ho.”
He was the son of the top dostic Blacksmith, and the top Blacksmith at the academy.
Lee Hyun-ho of the Specialist class 1st years.
