Recruiting members

"This is the key to your activity club, Chizuru. You can give it to Mu Xiaoxiao when the time comes." With the help of Chizuru Shiina, the class president, setting up the club was quick and easy, especially with the help of Shirakawa-sensei.

"I'll take you there to have a look right now."

Seeing the key handed over by the teacher, Chizuru took it with both hands and looked around anxiously, "Teacher Shirakawa, where is Xiaoxiao? Didn't he come to see you?"

With a strange expression, the blonde teacher guided Chizuru to the club building and said,

"I don't know, he just left with a strange expression. I thought he was looking for you.

Didn't you see him?"

"No, I thought he was at the teacher's place."

Although the newly formed Supernatural Research Club didn't have any special privileges, but their club room was rather nice—clean and spacious, furnished with sofas and wardrobes, and it even included a small collection room.

However, it was filled with some clutter that needed to be sorted.

"Chizuru," said Haruno Kasumi, who arrived not long after Shirakawa Miwa left.

"Ah, didn't Yukiha come?"

Shiina Chizuru, who was looking around the collection room, turned around to ask.

"She's in the library, maybe she won't be able to come,"

The latter said, while looking around the clubroom curiously, "There will be class soon, and it seems that Akane and the others can't come either."

"I heard that Xiaoxiao established a supernatural research club, so I came to take a look out of curiosity." At this point, Kasumi sat down on the chair, "But why should we establish such a club?"

"Is Xiaoxiao planning to spread the word about supernatural existence?"

"I don't think so. It's probably just for our convenience.

Besides, Xiaoxiao hasn't said anything about recruiting new members...

There are already many members in the club, so he probably won't recruit any more members,"

Chizuru Shiina said, but before she finished, she was interrupted by someone outside the door.

"That's not certain," Mu Xiaoxiao came in from outside carrying a bag, "Actually, I plan to recruit some members..."

"Xiaoxiao, where did you go?" Chizuru stood up quickly.

Kasumi took his bag curiously, and there seemed to be something inside.

"Obviously, there are quite a few members, but we, Akane and the others, are here, so why not accept them?" Haruno Kasumi was puzzled, "We are not a club like the Kendo Club."

"You are kidding, how can the Kendo Club compare with us?

Our Supernatural Research club is an organization active behind the scenes, so we must occupy the school first. How can you do it alone?"

"Chizuru, prepare a recruitment notice to post on the club bulletin board. As for me, I'll personally recruit members," he opened his bag, "I was just working on these things. They are what I'll use to win people over."

Win people over?

Chizuru and Kasumi stretched their heads and saw a lot of amulets inside.

"These shouldn't be ordinary amulets, right?"

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's mysterious smile, they knew that they had guessed correctly.

Kasumi picked one up and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaoxiao... isn't it too wasteful to give it to others?

Even we don't have them."

"It's like a weaker version of the ring. What would you need it for? And it's normal to distribute some benefits if you're a member of the Supernatural Research Club."

'Besides, my props all have safety measures, so not everyone can use them.'

Mu Xiaoxiao curled his lips.

"Class is about to start, and you're still making us do this," Chizuru complained, but in her heart, she remembered what he said.

"What class are you taking? Anyway, I won't be going to the next class. I'm going to prepare for the club. If Kasumi and you want to go, ask for leave for me," the boy said nonchalantly.

Regarding the guy with powerful hypnosis, he was really scared and full of urgency before, but now he didn't care so much.

Now that his spirit attributes have increased so much, coupled with the [spirit strengthening] ability and the love contract, not only him but even Akane and the others would not be afraid of his ability.

Now he was just thinking about how to deal with that scum..

But having said that, the school-wide hypnosis is indeed a bit scary.

Natsuha and the others are not enough manpower, so it is necessary to increase the number of club members.

He had it all planned out.

It's just while he was planning, Kasumi on the side couldn't help but ask: "Are you recruiting guys too?"

Knowing him, he surely wouldn't do that, right?

Of course, he wouldn't..

"Are you kidding me?"

There are hardly any normal guys in this world.

Mu Xiaoxiao's face darkened when he heard this.

The men in this world are divided into two parts, each of various categories.

They are either 'Scum on the Earth' or the victims...

As for the others?

They are just mob characters, the forgotten footnotes, the characters so irrelevant that not even the novel's author bothered giving them more than a cursory mention.

If the author couldn't care less, why should he?

Even though he was the self-proclaimed partner of justice, aside from his kind nature, the only reason was that he could get rewards from the system.

Men can't help him earn system rewards...

"No male members! The first rule of our Supernatural Research Club is to only recruit females!"

"..."

"..."

"In addition, you are responsible for the management of the ordinary club members who have just been recruited.

They will be promoted to regular club members depending on the situation in the future.

Speaking of which, the activity club only have one room? Isn't it a bit small... we need a few more rooms."

"..."

First, let's set a small goal—take over the school.

Then, move on to the outside world...why do I feel like a villain?

...

When school first started, there were often people from various clubs recruiting people in the square.

Now, after the freshman enrollment period, all the first-year students have joined the clubs, and there were only a small number of students left.

Although a few clubs were still recruiting, the number was obviously not large.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to look at these people before, but he didn't expect to become one of them now.

"Student, are you interested in the supernatural?

Would you like to join our Supernatural Research Club?

We investigate all sorts of phenomena, be it paranormal, psychic powers, or even yokai and magic..."

"Supernatural phenomena? Sounds interesting," a passing girl seemed interested, "but I have already joined the tea ceremony club."

"It doesn't matter; our club is very relaxed, and the school doesn't have the rule that one person can only join one club."

"Is this still possible? But I need to ask our club president then..."

The first recruitment attempt failed.

'No, why would I, a dignified behind-the-scenes boss, need to do such a thing?'

Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed his temples, looked at the guardian props in his bag, and thought deeply about it.

"It seems I have to change my thinking."

While he was muttering, another beautiful girl came from the front— her petite and cute face just like a doll, her demeanor expressionless and seemingly lazy, with her long blue hair blowing in the wind.

"Classmate, are you interested in joining the Supernatural Research Club?"

The boy looked, smiled, and went over to say hello, "Our Supernatural Research club specializes in..."

However, after chatting for a long time, the stoic beauty just looked up at Mu Xiaoxiao and yawned, "Not interested."

"..."

"It sounds very troublesome," said the third-year senior, a beautiful girl with long blue hair and pink eyes, Nozaki Yuu, who could also be considered a well-known girl in the school.

She is well known for her exquisite doll-like figure and appearance, but because of her personality and also because she likes to sleep, she has been nicknamed the

'Sleeping beauty.'

"No trouble, no trouble,"

Mu Xiaoxiao said earnestly, "There is no club more relaxed than our Supernatural Research club. It has a lot of freedom. You can even participate in club activities according to your own will."

"No one will care about anything you do, and it won't affect your daily life."

"Ugh," the lazy Sleeping Princess thought for a moment, "It sounds good, but I'm still not interested.

I just want to go back to the classroom to sleep."

Seeing the beautiful girl yawning, the boy made a cross on his forehead, but he didn't force it and just took out an imperial style amulet from his bag.

"Forget it if you don't want to join, but you can try out the props of our Supernatural Research club.

This is also a special benefit issued by our club. It is a mysterious guardian with special powers. If you are interested after experiencing it, you can come to me again."

Special power? Amulet?

Nozaki Yuu tilted her head and didn't even question it.

Probably because she was too lazy to ask; she reached out and took it.

"Mu Xiaoxiao?"

Huh?

Miyajima Sakura came out of the teaching building, stared at him, and sneered, "What are you doing here?"
