Chapitre 42: Clubs I
"Looks like I really can't treat you like a lady, Hua. You are simply too unlady-like."
"What do you say? You playboy!"
"Stop it already, you two just met and already argue with each other." Daniel interrupted Arthur and Selina.
"Who are these two ladies, Alexa?" Daniel asked.
"Oh yes! I will introduce them, they are Emma and Emily, my and Selina's roommate," said Alexa.
"Greetings to the first star of Seraphium. My name is Emma Addy Brown, Count Brown's first daughter." Emma slightly bent down and lifted her skirt as she introduced herself to Daniel with noble etiquette.
"Greetings to the first star of Seraphium. My name is Emily Anna Brown, the second daughter of Count Brown," after Emma, Emily also introduced herself with noble etiquette.
"Don't be so stiff, just call me Daniel. All my friends call me that. You are Alexa and Selina's friends, so you are also my friends. Don't hesitate to call me Daniel."
Emma and Emily looked at each other, then bowed and thanked Daniel.
"My name is Arthur Fotia Rosenfeld. You also don't need to be reluctant and just call me Arthur," Arthur said, introducing himself informally but remaining polite to Emma and Emily.
Emma and Emily nodded their heads.
"Since it seems like we came to the South Building with the same goal, how about we go in together?" Daniel asked.
"Fine by me!" Alexa said.
Emma and Emily once again only nodded while Selina though nodded in agreement is showing a reluctant face and pouted.
"Let's go in." Daniel led their group to enter the building.
After they entered through the main door of the South Building, they saw a lot of people huddling in the lobby.
'Luckily I didn't bring Ciel here,' thought Selina.
They waited for a few minutes until finally the crowd dispersed and gave way after seeing Daniel lead their group. They then looked at the map of the location of each club room on notice board in the lobby.
"Which club do you want to see first?" Daniel asked.
"How about we see the club that is closest to the lobby first?" Alexa gave her opinion.
"I agree with Alexa," Jackson said.
The others just nodded in agreement with Alexa's opinion.
Daniel then looked back at the map and said, "The club closest to the lobby... is the Potions Club."
"I once asked one of the seniors in the Undine dorm. She said the Potions Club only accepts students from the fifth year and above," Emma said.
"Why?" Alexa asked.
"I don't know either..." Emma shook her head.
"Maybe because Potions lessons are only given to students from the fifth-year and above, so if students from the second to fourth-year join in, they think it will be in vain," explained Arthur.
"Hmm... Makes sense," said Jackson, who was stroking his chin.
"Then we go to the next closest club," Daniel decided.
They then walked towards the club room which was right beside the Potions Club. On the sign above the chocolate wooden door is written 'Beasts Study.'
*Knock… Knock… Knock…*
Christian knocked on the door of the club room. But after waiting for a minute the door never opened. Then he made eye contact with his friends.
"Just knock again, if the door is still not open we go to the next club," said Arthur, who then replied with a nod from Christian.
*Knock… Knock… Knock…*
Christian knocked again on the door. This time there was a noise from inside the room before the door opened to reveal a teenage boy wearing a dark green shirt and jeans pants.
"Hm? P-Prince Daniel! Please come in," said the teenage boy, slightly surprised to see Daniel. He then opened the door wider.
What Selina saw when she first entered the room were various drawings of ordinary beasts, magic beasts, and demon beasts that filled every corner of the whiteboard. Besides each drawing is also written characteristics, affinities, abilities, and other things about the depicted beasts.
After observing the drawings for a few moments, Selina turned her attention to the teenage boy who opened the door for them earlier. Besides the teenage boy who opened the door, there were also two other people in the room. One was a teenage girl who was the same age as the teenage boy who opened the door and another was a boy aged four or five years above Selina.
"Greetings to the first star of Seraphium. My name is Tyler Thirio Weeks, Count Weeks's first son. I am a twelfth-year student from Sylph dorm and the head of the Beasts Study club," said the teenage boy who opened the door.
Tyler introduces himself with the noble etiquette just like what Emma and Emily did. The difference is that he slightly bowed his head to Daniel while his right hand positioned right above his heart.
"They both are members of this club. My twin sister Tiana Agrios Weeks and Justin Chavez."
"Greetings to the first star of Seraphium."
"Greetings to the first star of Seraphium," Tiana and Justin greeted Daniel at the same time.
Daniel nodded his head and said, "They are my friends, Arthur Fotia Rosenfeld, Selina Hua, Alexa Bella Chronos, Emma Addy Brown, Emily Anna Brown, Christian Prasinos Grecass, and Jackson Ragurd. We are here to look at all the clubs in the Seraphium Royal Academy."
Tyler nodded and then introduced the Beasts Study club, "Beasts Study club is one of the oldest clubs in the Seraphium Royal Academy for students who have an interest in Beastology. Our meetings took place on Saturday from nine in the morning until noon. Attendees were invited to bring their familiars to learn more about them."
Tiana seemed unable to calm down and finally asked Arthur and Selina, "Is the rumor about the two of you formed a master-familiar bond with the Dragon and the Royal Nine-Tailed Fox is true?"
"Tiana!" Tyler rebuked his twin sister.
"It's okay," Arthur said to Tyler.
"That rumor is true," Arthur answered Tiana's question.
"Wow! Can I see them?" Tiana asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
Arthur and Selina looked at each other then nodded at Tiana.
"Synergátis."
"Synergátis," Arthur and Selina chanted the familiar summoning spell simultaneously.
*Puff!*
From the puff of white smoke came the figure of Tristan and Ciel.
"..." Tristan looked at everyone in the room without speaking a word.
"Has Lina finished visiting all the clubs? Where's the vatómouro ice cream that Lina promised?" Ciel asked.
"Ciel, I haven't finished visiting all the clubs and bought ice cream for you. I called you because senior Tiana wanted to see you and Tristan," Selina answered.
"Ohoo... he can speak Gaia," said Tiana while watching Ciel closely.
"Royal Nine-Tailed Fox has pure white fur, exactly like what Teacher Harry said. Dragon! I never thought I could see a real Dragon in my entire life!" Tiana squealed in delight while trying to hold her right hand that wants to touch Tristan and Ciel.
Tristan jumped and landed on Arthur's shoulder. He did not want himself to be touched by Tiana. Ciel on the other hand, after he saw the expression of Tiana who was obsessed with him, shuddered and finally jumped into Selina's arms then hiding his head.
"Tiana..." Tyler patted the shoulder of his twin sister.
"Sorry, brother."
"Please forgive my sister's behavior. She is very happy because this is the first time she saw a Dragon and Royal Nine-Tailed Fox," said Tyler, who bowed to apologize to Arthur and Selina.
Selina raised her hands to stop Tyler and said, "No need to bow senior Tyler, I understand."
Arthur nodded in agreement with Selina's words and said, "Then we'll leave first because we want to see the other clubs."
"Oh! Please."
