'Perhaps the Change Location Club isn't the secret society I thought it was?'
Among unofficial clubs, some clubs' very existence was secret.
Clubs like the <Professor Assassination Club> (though he had never heard of it, Yi-Han was certain it existed) or the <Einroguard Reality Exposure Club> couldn't operate openly.
Yi-Han naturally thought the Change Location Club was that kind of secret society too.
They had deliberately chosen a different name and their club location wasn't disclosed externally...
"Is it alright for professors to know about the Change Location Club's existence?"
"Well, they probably guessed."
Sebius didn't seem particularly concerned. Yi-Han became even more confused.
"Is that okay?"
"As long as our base isn't discovered, there's surprisingly little problem. If we're not caught on the scene, there's no evidence. You don't get sent to the punishment room just for creating a Change Location Club according to school rules."
'Sometimes I think the seniors are crazy.'
Yi-Han thought inwardly.
Of course, everyone at Einroguard developed some degree of madness, but the seniors' madness was a bit more severe.
"Can I perhaps go along too?"
"Hmm."
Sebius frowned at his junior's question.
"Ah. If it's not possible due to club rules..."
"No. All the other guys said to bring you along."
"..."
Yi-Han was more popular with the Change Location Club seniors than he had thought.
It couldn't be helped.
For skilled thieves, no, skilled location changers, what mattered was ability.
It didn't matter if the junior was a second-year or from Blue Dragon Tower. What mattered was where the junior had robbed.
"But these jobs are more dangerous than you might think."
"I'm prepared."
Yi-Han spoke confidently.
In the past, he might have asked 'How dangerous?', but his experience at Einroguard had made him grow.
Now he first thought 'No matter how dangerous, it can't be that dangerous'.
'It's a legitimately obtained opportunity to go out. I can't miss it.'
"I acknowledge your skills, but think seriously. If you get caught outside..."
"Do I get locked up in an external prison?"
"No. The principal comes and releases you. Then you go to the punishment room for the crime of getting caught outside."
"..."
It was much stranger than he had thought. Yi-Han shook his head and said.
"Anyway, I want to go."
"Alright. Then I'll add your name to the application."
As Sebius dipped his quill in ink and wrote down his junior's name, he suddenly felt doubtful.
'But didn't this guy join quite a few clubs? Can he do them all?'
*
"Junior. If you can't participate in the ball game because of other clubs, I'll assassinate all those other club bastards."
"..."
"Of course, I'm joking."
'It doesn't sound like a joke.'
The dark elf senior's eyes flashed with unwavering conviction.
They were the eyes of a madman who could set fire to Einroguard for the sake of a ball game.
"Um. Senior Hormasi."
"Yes, junior."
"You know Her Highness Jourin has returned to the capital, right?"
"I heard."
Carnela let out deep sighs with an expression clearly showing regret, lingering attachment, bitterness, remorse, repentance, lamentation, and so on.
Then she said.
"Of course, suggesting we ride Her Highness Jourin into battle was a joke."
"..."
Yi-Han thought inwardly that if nothing else, he should absolutely not believe the jokes of this White Tiger Tower third-year.
"But you have a griffin, unicorn, basilisk, giant, and mountain-destroying goat, don't you?"
"That seems to include quite a few strange things."
-I-I'm in that group!-
The baby basilisk cried out in a terrified voice.
It didn't have the confidence to fight large monsters with Yi-Han on its back yet.
"Strange things? Well, maybe the unicorn hasn't fully recovered from its injury yet..."
"...I'll ride the griffin."
"Aren't you deciding too hastily? It's also a ball game player's ability to flexibly change depending on what the opponent rides out on."
"I'll just ride the griffin."
Carnela was disappointed at her junior's firm response.
Why was he acting so inflexibly when he had the qualities of an excellent ball game player?
"Well, I understand. This Hormasi also rides our puppy most often."
-Does that person ride a puppy??-
"No. The puppy she's talking about is Cerberus."
-...-
While soothing the shocked baby basilisk, Yi-Han asked.
"By the way, senior. Who's the opponent and where will we fight?"
"The location is Granden City."
It was the closest major city to Einroguard and a place familiar to Yi-Han.
"The opponent is the Baldurguard Ball Game Team."
"...No! Is that okay?!"
Yi-Han was startled.
Carnela didn't understand what her junior meant by the question and asked again.
"What?"
"Einroguard students always attack Baldurguard students like they're going to kill them when they see them."
"It's... it's not to that extent."
Even Carnela was slightly flustered at those words.
Of course, imperial magic school students had some competitive spirit, but to that extent...?
"Won't it turn into a brawl instead of a ball game?"
"Wait. Junior. What do you take the honorable ball game players for now?"
Carnela firmly admonished her junior for looking down on the pride and honor of ball game players.
Of course, it didn't work on Yi-Han.
Honor and such had already disappeared from the moment she tried to field giants or Jourin.
"And the Baldurguard Ball Game Team is quite high level. We must never be careless."
'What?'
When his senior spoke seriously, Yi-Han was surprised once again.
To think there was something high level at Baldurguard?
But it was true.
"Those bastards don't study magic, do assignments, or take exams, so they can use their spare time as they please. They can use gold coins freely too, so they can deploy rare creatures as they want. ...Damn it. When I think about how we lost a hydra to those bastards last time..."
Carnela, who had been explaining, suddenly seemed to recall a past grudge and muttered in a resentful voice.
The affluence of Baldurguard students always made Einroguard students angry.
'I should pray the hydra doesn't come out.'
His senior's grudge didn't matter much to Yi-Han, and what the opponent would bring out was more important.
When he heard the Baldurguard Ball Game Team had bought a hydra before, Yi-Han regretted not building friendships.
If he had known they had a hydra, he would have treated them more kindly!
"But don't worry too much, junior. This Hormasi will lead the charge and smash the opponent's skull."
"You mean score a goal, right?"

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:<Urgent> Seeking information on unofficial clubs that can go out.
Eaktus:Mage Card Club.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:<Urgent> Seeking information on unofficial clubs that can go out (excluding Mage Card Club).
Eaktus:......
"!"
When the Sentinel club members started conversing again without him knowing, Yi-Han took out his artifact.
As he had a lot to prepare for club external activities anyway, information was always needed.
Gonadaltes:Why are you asking about unofficial clubs that can go out?
Eaktus:They probably want something brought from outside. Official clubs must not meet the conditions.
Though official clubs could go out easily, their numbers were few and their locations and purposes were fixed, so it was difficult to ask for something if conditions didn't match.
Gonadaltes:Why not the Mage Card Club?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Those idiots only go to mage card shops when they go out and stay there all day before returning. We can't entrust them with requests.
"..."
Yi-Han sighed.
Not because of the single-minded aspect of Mage Card Club members, but because it was a shame Gainando couldn't join there.
'It's really unfortunate.'
Gonadaltes:May I ask about the request content?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Ah. What's this. My friend with an evil name. Interested in the request?
Eaktus:Don't be fooled. Who knows what dangerous request they'll entrust.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Shut up. They're not freshmen anymore, everyone can judge for themselves.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox silenced Eaktus and quickly explained the request.
Fortunately, the request wasn't very difficult. Two bundles of purple round wood, swan songs stored in sealed crystals, and three bottles of fairy honey wine. Things that could be bought if one had money.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:It's definitely not for any suspicious purpose, so don't worry.
'Saying that makes it feel even more suspicious.'
Yi-Han already knew Beaver-Penguin-Fox was Senior Ilendil.
As that dryad mixed-blood senior was the person who cherished and loved forests the most at Einroguard, this request must be related to forest recovery.
Needing wood and all, she wasn't someone who would do anything too suspicious...
'...That's true, but probably not this time.'
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Five times. I'll pay five times the price.
Gonadaltes:Alright. Don't expect too much.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Excellent! I don't know why I thought you were crazy when you joined the club!
Eaktus:I know why. Just look at the name in front. More importantly, Gonadaltes, which club are you in that your outing is confirmed?
Gonadaltes:A club you don't know the name of.
Eaktus:Perhaps the Professor Attack Club?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Is there such a club?
Eaktus:I don't know. I just said it because it seemed like there might be.
-Hello.-
"?"
Eaktus:?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:??
Eaktus:...What's this?
-Hello. Um, can you perhaps not see my words?-
For a moment, a chilling silence fell over the Sentinel club gathering.
Yi-Han opened his eyes wide.
'A new member!!'
New members of the Sentinel club were recruited in two ways.
One was for Baqwantallana, who played the role of administrator, to manipulate the communication artifact to connect to this gathering.
Yi-Han had been invited and joined in this way.
And the other was to acquire an artifact already connected to the Sentinel club gathering.
The unidentified stranger who appeared now was clearly the latter. The Einroguard students became very tense.
If the other party was a professor or the skull principal's minion...
-Hello. Hello. Hello?-
Gonadaltes:I don't know who you are, but reveal your identity. Who are you?
Yi-Han was the first to shake off his fear and move his quill.
He stepped forward because the other party didn't seem to be the skull principal or his minion.
'Perhaps a freshman?'
If a freshman had wandered around Einroguard and accidentally picked up an artifact, such a slow response would be understandable.
An Einroguard upperclassman would have immediately realized what the silence the current members were showing meant.
-Ah. I'm sorry. I'm a third-year from Baldurguard... Wait, I almost fell for it. How can I believe you're not an evil artifact trying to deceive me to find out my name?-
Eaktus:......
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:......
Eaktus:Baqwantallana!!! Baqwantallana!!!
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Where did Baqwantallana go! Come quickly!
Eaktus:Now's not the time to do other things!!! A crazy bastard has entered the club!!!
The Sentinel club members, in a panic at the newcomer's identity that exceeded expectations, called for Baqwantallana.
How on earth did a Baldurguard bastard enter this Sentinel club???
