บท 52: Dragged against your will can sometimes be quite surprising

With a lot of regrets, I arrived at the clubhouse. 

There was no one outside. The place almost felt deserted. I guess no one was here yet. Well, how could they? Today was the first day of recruitment and most of the first years were held back by all kinds of seniors at the school entrance. I'd gotten lucky and- well, maybe I wasn't so lucky either. 

Selene knocked on the door, still holding me like a potato bag. 

'Here comes the grueling paperwork part.' I sighed to keep my sanity. Hopefully, this will end quickly and I'd be on my way.

After a minute the door opened. "Surprise!"

It was a party inside. The holo-banner read, 'Welcome newbies.'

There were sprays, glitters, balloons, and every other party-themed thing you'd imagine. 

Cake, hats, food, music everything. But there was one problem, it wasn't my birthday.
