??"Ten Spirit Strands…" Vale repeated.
'Isn't that because the Spirit Converging Crystal can only get ten spirit strands?' He mused.
In any case, he decided not to tell her his real Spirit Strand since it might seem like he was bragging like the Arena Coordinator she was berating just now.
"Yes… It's great that you have ten spirit strands… Ah, don't tell
that you have more?" Nadine asked.
However, before Vale could answer, she imdiately continued.
"Well, that's impossible… That should be the limit for freshn students unless you're from the great noble families…" Nadine comnted as he knows that the Chambers family isn't one of them.
Vale no longer bothered explaining at this point and could only ask. "Can you tell
about the club activities and what will I do?"
"Of course… However, just fill up this form first as I'll explain everything to you…" Nadine said as she took out the application form.
He only needed to fill out the upper part with basic information. His na, year, class, and reason for joining the Battle Arena Committee.
The lower part was to be filled by Nadine who had conducted the Spirit Strand test.
While Vale was writing, Nadine explained the situation in the club.
"Ahem… There are a total of 25 people in our club, you'll be our 26th mber... It's not that big compared to other popular clubs but we're still receiving a budget enough to fund a 50-mber club. You probably know the reason, it's because our club is made by the Academy itself. We don't even need an adviser or a professor. Even if we're only less than 10 people here, our club wouldn't get disbanded. Everything is run by the President and Vice-President of the Club. At most, the Vice Headmaster would check on us randomly to confirm our situation."
'There's indeed not a lot of mbers.'
Vale nodded after hearing this explanation.
He also knows that clubs like the Battle Arena Committee are indeed an integral part of the Academy so it made sense that they can't be disbanded.
Seeing that Vale was listening attentively, Nadine continued.
"Our President is a graduating student so he will be quite busy soon. Most of the matters of the club will be handled by our Vice President. His na is Elr Vermont. He's an 8th-year student of the Dark Magic Branch."
"Vermont?" Vale couldn't help but look up as he stopped writing.
"Yes… He's from the Vermont Family, the strongest clan in the Dark Faction…" Nadine said with a hint of pride in her tone as if she were part of the family.
"That sounds aweso."
"Indeed… In any case, you will start as a regular mber. After you get used to the club and gained enough experience, the senior mbers can recomnd you a position. Of course, you can also inform us what position you want. We currently have 2 Arbiters, 2 Tikeepers, 2 Scorekeepers, 2 Referees, 8 Corner Judges, and 3 Arena Coordinators."
"The rest are regular mbers I assu."
"Yes… Oh, there's also , a Secretary and there's another Treasurer. The guy that is sleeping behind ." Nadine said as she pointed behind her.
There is indeed a male student slouching on a chair.
Vale didn't think too much about it as he passed the form to her after filling it out.
"Great! Should we go to our club room?" Nadine asked.
However, before Vale could reply, Nadine smacked her forehead as she noticed the ti.
"It's already ti to have our lunch… We can make it quick. I'll just show you where our club room is…
Vale seem to have grasped Nadine's antiques as he just nodded and followed her.
He didn't even bother asking whether it was alright to leave the Treasurer sleeping here.
On the way to the club room, Vale asked Nadine various questions about the club.
Apparently, there are 3 Arenas in the Academy so there were 3 Coordinators in the club that is assigned to each of them. These Coordinators would be the ones scheduling or managing the events that will use the Arena.
It sounds quite difficult since they are basically the managers of each Arena.
Then, as a regular mber of the committee, Vale would normally be tasked with so odd jobs. He can be asked to secure the periter of the arena. Contact the people who will be fighting inside the arena. Ensure that the participants don't carry prohibited weapons or even drugs. Dispose of the bodies if the participants are killed.
"Ah? There can be deaths?"
"Yes… Why do you sound so excited?" Nadine asked.
"N-no. Of course, not… I was just surprised."
"Don't worry. It rarely happens. Most of the ti, they were rogue practitioners who were captured here to be killed by the students. There are also cases that they can be Evil Creatures." Nadine explained.
"I see… But still, accidents happen and students may die, right?"
"That's correct. That's why you can't be a Referee. The two Referees that we have are both ninth-year students. They have amazing movent techniques and dark spells that could stop most of the killing moves."
Vale didn't doubt that as he nodded in understanding.
There was no way that normal students can be referees in a battle of life and death.
"Right… There are also Associate Professors that normally handle these tasks. Especially if the participants are in the higher years."
"That makes sense… I was about to ask about the duels of 10th-year students."
Nadine smiled after hearing that.
Soon, they entered the club room and there are no mbers of the club inside.
The Club Room is quite spacious with a long round table in the center. There are also couches on the left and right sides of the room with round coffee tables beside them.
On the wall, Vale can also see a bulletin board where the schedule of events is posted. There's also a part on the board about the assigned tasks of each mber.
"Look, there is a duel scheduled on weekend. It's Saturday at 8 pm. It's between two fourth-year students in Necromancy Branch… You should co!" Nadine said as she also just recalled this event after noticing the post on the bulletin board.
