Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem Chapter 121: Student Council

Zach did his best to return to the classroom after his eting with the principal. As reluctant as he was, he still had his duties as the club president and as a student of the Academy. He couldn't slack off just because he wanted to.

He opened the door to the classroom with a conflicted expression. He would have to wait an entire year to change the na of the club again.

"...Not here right now. He's eting with—Oh, he's back now." Anerias gestured at Zach as soon as he entered the room. The person talking to him, a tall, blond guy with handso features turned around and looked.

"Ah, Zacharia Evandiel! Just the person I've been looking for." The intruder to their class greeted Zach with a smile.

Zach narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person.

"You…"

"You recognize ?"

Zach nodded slowly.

"I saw you the other day." The blond guy was one of the students wearing a fancy uniform.

The blond guy's expression faltered slightly and his head slumped.

"I see…It seems you don't rember . My na is Liam Vreer. I am also from the east. We t a couple of tis when we were young." Liam introduced himself with slightly less energy than when he first greeted Zach.

Zach shook his head.

"I can't say I rember that, but nice to et you again, Liam. What can I do for you?" Zach took a seat behind the teacher's desk and looked at Liam with his elbows on the table.

Liam looked at Zach taking the instructor's seat like he owned it for a mont before clearing his throat and smiling.

"I ca here to invite you to join the Student Council. We are eager to welco the only S-rank student in the Academy to the ranks of those working for the Academy's and the students' futures."

Zach hesitated, but he could tell that Liam was about to unleash a great speech to motivate him to join the Student Council, so he held up a hand.

"...If I'm honest, I must say that I'm not interested. I am also busy with other things."

"I heard." Liam nodded. "The president of the Underworld Research Club."

"Underworld Research and Extermination Club."

"Oh. I thought–"

"I changed the na. I'm the president, after all."

"...I see. Well, being the president of a club doesn't make it impossible to join the Student Council. A few of our other mbers, including the president, are part of or lead their own clubs."

"Good for them." Zach smiled with no intention of doing the sa as those mbers of the Student Council.

Liam realized that no matter what he said right now, he wouldn't be able to get Zach to join the Student Council. He sighed helplessly before grabbing a paper on the desk and a pen. He wrote a few things on it before handing it to the club president of the Underworld Research and Extermination Club.

"What's this?" Zach looked at Liam while grabbing the paper.

"My application."

"For what?"

"To the Underworld Research and Extermination Club."

"Why?"

"Because I want to join?"

"...Again. Why?"

Liam shrugged.

"I want to research and exterminate the Underworld with you guys. And, if you won't co to the Student Council, the Student Council will just have to co to you."

"Uhuh." Zach nodded and grabbed a pen.

"Rejected." He rejected Liam's application.

"What? Why?"

"Ulterior motives."

"That's not how it works." Liam shook his head. "Until you have at least ten mbers, you need a good reason to reject applicants to your club."

Zach slowly looked up at Liam.

"...I feel like all these rules about clubs are made to annoy ."

"I don't know much about that." Liam shrugged. "But I won't join your club if you're willing to co join us at the Student Council."

"Welco aboard." Zach smiled and reached out to shake Liam's hand.

"It's my pleasure." Liam smiled and took Zach's hand.

Although he hadn't achieved what he wanted, Liam had still taken one step in the right direction. Now, he just had to wear Zach down until he was willing to join the Student Council. But he wouldn't get more by pressing on now, so he took a step back and bade his farewells for now since it was ti for the next class.

Zach had to give up his seat when the next instructor, Instructor Kami ca in and started talking about the importance of treasuring the bonds between familiars and making sure everyone is prepared when they summon their second familiar.

While speaking what sounded mostly like nonsense and filler words, he looked a lot at Zach and Alzara. It was like he had hijacked soone else's class only to co and look at the SS-rank familiar.

Considering he also had a class with them after lunch, which was his original class, it was a suspiciously likely situation.

But he had enough after that as another teacher had their final class of the day.

And the next day, it was the entrance ceremony, where the principal, a couple of others, and the A-rank first-year representative held their speeches. Unlike last year, there weren't any incidents.

Zach couldn't help but feel a little envious. He hadn't gotten to prepare a speech since he was inford of his duties the day of, and he hadn't gotten to deliver the speech without a chandelier dropping on his head.

He ended up looking at the ceiling and the chandeliers with a sharp gaze, wondering if any of them were about to drop. However, the one that seed most likely was the one above him, so he stopped looking and focused on the stage.

He didn't pay enough attention to listen or rember what anyone was saying, but it was probably not any different from last year, so he started thinking about what to do about his club activities.

Since it was the Underworld Research and Extermination Club, their activities were simple. But how was he supposed to exterminate the Underworld?

While Zach was thinking about all that, it was suddenly ti for the entrance ceremony to end and for club activities for the second, third, and fourth years to begin.
