The Club Fair
"Marin is getting crafty," Nowa was the same as Rin.
"Should we also chase after them?" Ryo wondered looking at Yukine who was still walking at a normal pace. She had no intention of running at all.
"There is no need to, we'll meet them right outside the school building anyway," Yukine knew that it would be a waste of energy to sprint right now.
"Well, not sure how you know that but alright," Ryo shrugged and they walked normally with Shingo also following them, if they end up losing the others they can just use their phones to contact them.
And as Yukine had said before, They were all waiting near the school building's exit, along with another one they knew.
"I hope you won't mind me joining as well," Grayfia had met Yuuya and Marin outside the school building or more precisely she was waiting there since she knew the two would arrive here.
Then Rin and Nowa arrived running but stopped there, Currently, they were talking to Marin some distance away from the others, only they knew what was going on.
"There is nothing to worry about that, we're already friends Lucifuge-san," Ryo said as this was pretty much their daily group, Grayfia always hung out with them or more specifically she stayed near Yuuya in the free time she had at school.
"Grayfia is always too polite," Yukine said as Shingo and Ryo nodded, well to be honest Grayfia did behave like a refined lady, It was to the point that Rin asked her if she had any connections to England's royal family or something like that.
'Well, I am not polite for your sake,' Grayfia glanced at Yuuya who was standing there, he looked like he was in deep thought about something so Grayfia didn't disturb him.
The students walking by did glance at their group, some of them from their classes but they went on their way since starting a conversation with Yuuya or Grayfia was kind of tough.
"How long are you guys gonna stand there? Come on let's go," Rin came back with Marin and Nowa.
"You guys were the ones taking so long there," Ryo said as it was correct since the three were having an in-depth discussion about something.
"We were just thinking of a plan about where to go first since there are so many things to check out, right Nowa?" Rin looked at Nowa.
"Yep, a lot of fun places, What do you say Marin?" Nowa grinned with a lollipop in her mouth.
"Totes, Let's go before it gets too crowded," Marin said as she started walking on the path that led to the right, that is where the club building was located.
"Yep, I am excited to find out how good the sports clubs are," Ryo was very interested in sports, that much could be deduced from his physique.
But the main reason he was this hyped was that Ousei academy's clubs were on a different level compared to the rest of the schools in japan.
An example of this would be how Ousei's Football team is actually said to be on par with the U-18 youth teams of Japan's top football clubs.
Japan's U-18 national football team has 3 players from Ousei Academy, It used to be 5 last year but two third years graduated and are currently playing overseas.
And it didn't end just there, when it came to producing top Athletes and artisans in all fields, Ousei Academy was second to none. This school was famous was producing a lot of famous people from all fields, garnering a lot of fame for the school.
So, Ryo's excitement could be understood by this fact alone. But he wasn't the only one who was excited, though the reason for this differed from person to person.
"…" Yuuya saw the smirks on Nowa and Rin's faces as they looked at him from time to time for some reason, he walked with Grayfia and Yukine not minding them.
Walking down the path lined by trees on both sides they passed by the Middle School building and a few Gymnasiums, the further they went down the path the more students started to appear signaling that they were nearing the location.
After a few more minutes they finally reached the place.
'Welcome To The Club Fair!'
A large banner welcomed them with those words as they heard the chatter of the students.
"Damn, I guess this is why Sawada-sensei told us to check it out," Rin shook her head looking at the scene.
"I mean, this is better than the school festival that I went to at a local school last year," Ryo was also taken aback at the sight.
"It is like a festival like always," Nowa sounded somewhat proud since she had seen this before, they weren't sure why she was proud when he had no part in making this happen.
The path that led to the club building was lined up with booths on both sides of the path each belonging to a different club.
Colorful posters and banners adorned each booth, showcasing the unique theme and activities of the club. With the club members wearing distinct uniforms and badges for their clubs engaged with curious students who came to the booths to ask questions.
The scene was quite lively and everyone was having fun, just like it should be for kids their age.
"Let's check that one first," Shingo said as his eyes shined and she rushed towards one of the booths.
"Wow, that surprised me," Rin was shocked since that was the loudest she had heard Shingo be.
"Well, he likes Games, Anyway let's go," Ryo also ran after Shingo and the rest went there as well.
"Oh, so we are allowed to bring Game consoles to School?" Shingo was really surprised by this information; he was so surprised that Yuuya and the others could hear his shock even though they were 20 feet away from him.
"Yes, as long you don't use it during classes, it won't be a problem," The second year standing at the booth explained to Shingo, Ryo was also listening since he was curious about it as well.
"He doesn't look timid anymore," Nowa said since Shingo was very soft spoken so to see him as this would surely be surprising.
"A-Ah, I am sorry for shouting like that," Shingo belatedly realized how high his voice was and he apologized, his face nearly turned redder than a tomato when he saw the students around looking at him, even the people from the nearby stall were staring at him, but not rudely rather...
"No, it is totally fine, I was surprised about this myself when I was a freshman, and most importantly it shows that you really like games, so it makes me happy as well," The guy smiled since he could tell that Shingo was normally quite from the way he acted later, but his excitement got the better of him.
"Yeah, I really like playing games," This was one of the only hobbies Shingo had, so, of course, he was happy about it when he found out that he can use it in school as well.
"These small arcade machines are so cute, I want one as well," Marin was more interested in the palm-sized arcade machine models that were displayed at the booth.
"Yeah, this is actually too good, isn't it? The details are amazing," Rin also seemed to like them as the senior laughed.
"These were made by the handicraft club, they helped a lot of clubs with the booths and other orders, these models needed to be commissioned from them, Their booth is near the club building so check them out it would be worth it," The senior said and Marin looked really interested now.
"Were the clothes and Badges also made by them?" Marin asked as she seemed to be more excited than Shingo was.
"T-The clothes were done by the Sewing club, The handicraft club also makes clothes but the sewing club is better at it since they only focus on that, their booth is also near the building," The senior spoke since he was a bit unable to handle Marin's energy.
"I see, thanks, Yuuya we definitely need to check them out later," Marin said as she turned around to look at Yuuya.
"I don't mind," The place Yuuya wanted to check out was also on the way so it was no problem.
"Yay!" Marin cheered and then looked back at the senior at the Game Club booth who was giving Shingo a pamphlet.
"If you guys are interested in the game club please drop by there as well," The guy said passing the Pamphlets to the others are well.
"Oh, you can do so many things in the game club?" Marin looked shocked, others were the same since the information on the pamphlet was really something.
"Did you think we just play games all of the time?"
