Dedications
This book is dedicated to:
My parents, for listening to me talk about this too much
Thanks, guys, for putting up with this. Ily! ❤

“I’ll see you there,” Jasmine said as she slipped a paper over to the girl. Kyra took the paper as she gave the other a confused look.

“Where am I seeing you?” She asked as she brushed a strand of her white hair behind her ear. Jasmine only gave a smile and a giggle as she stood up with her backpack.

“The Rejects Club, of course.”
()()()()()()()()()()()()

Jasmine Ender is the definition of spontaneous. Not only does this girl do just about everything, but she's the biggest social butterfly anyone's ever met. On top of being an actress, she's also just started the school's very first Rejects Club. Now who decided that the Rejects had to be alone?

Mark Nijer might be average but that doesn't mean he's not just as impulsive as his best friend. Being best friends with the school's resident extrovert might have rubbed off on him a bit. Doesn't mean that he's perfect but he's at least the smiling face in the morning. Who doesn't need one of those?

Kyra Kingsly just wants to disappear. With the nickname of Detective Purple Hair after solving one of the biggest cases in her small home town, she's been plagued with people knowing who she is. She just wants to be left alone and forgotten so that she can get her work done, without fear of her grandfather's anger. Is that too much to ask?

Cleopatra Blackheart is known as the school's bad girl. Last year, she made herself known as the bad girl from Lockwood with her best friend, Bailey, but this year, she's on her own and she apparently more scary this way. Cold and unmoving, it's no wonder that no one likes to be around her. Cleopatra and a handful and a half. Who wants to be the one to have to deal with that?

And then there's Monet Ivory. If you were to ask anyone who she was, they probably wouldn't even know she existed. Monet's that one kid who never speaks, never looks you in the eyes, and barely passes her classes. She blends into the background and it seems like she's rather keep it that way. She's not so much of  mystery as she is a ninja, in and out without anyone knowing. But who is she really and why is she always so distant?

And that's the reason that the Rejects Club was made in the first place.

"You've got to be kidding me…" 


Everyone in the school gym were somewhat mortified with Mori Ken's sudden declaration in joining the book club, especially Sakura. Behind Ken is also a group of bewildered club recruiters who were really determined to make either Ken or Alan to be a member of their club.


Sakura's eyebrows were drawn together as she folded her arms and faced Ken. "I thought you already joined a club."


"Well, you thought wrong." Ken countered right away, smirking in the girl's direction. Seeing how surprised Sakura is, he added while raising one eyebrow at her. "What? Am I not allowed to join your club?"


Ito Yui's eyes were filled with horror knowing that Mori Ken might change his mind any minute from now without Sakura's approval. She doesn't have any idea what's really going on with these two, but one thing's for sure. Yui is determined to keep Ken in the group.


So with that thought in mind, Yui answered on Sakura's behalf. "You are more than welcome to join our club, Mori-san!"


Since her leader is already set with Ken being in the group, Hayashi Sakura can't do anything about it now but to sigh in defeat and accept the annoying fact that even during club hours, she will still see Mori Ken's annoying face.


***


Rumors of Ken and Alan joining the 'underdog' club, as what the majority calls the book club, spread all throughout the campus like wildfire. Some were confused, and some were disappointed. And they can't help but blame Sakura for this, which the latter only ignored and carried on with her college life.


As expected from the two hottest bachelors in Hirosaki University, their mere presence in the book club brought in a lot of freshman students (and most of them are, of course, teenage girls) to the point that Yui had to cut in the applications up to thirty only because that's the maximum members that a club can hold.


As a result, Yui and her club members were granted the most convenient room to transfer their club that is located in Hirosaki's activity building on the second floor during the assembly meeting with the faculty department and other club leaders. The new room itself is like two rooms combined made into one, and it took them at least a week to finish setting everything up with the help of both Alan and Ken's resources. 


By the end of the week, Yui was able to open their newly-furnished club room to her club members. Sakura can't help but be amazed on how their room went from being small and slightly haunted to being stylish and cozy-looking at the same time.


On their new room, another big shelf was added where the new members would need to donate their used yet good books of any genres to the club to stock in there as part of their initiation. All three book shelves were placed on the right side of the room where tables and chairs were also placed in case the members wanted to spend time reading books on one side.


On the other side of the room is where the L-shaped black sofa set with a stylish round glass table was placed. In the middle of the room where the two rectangular tables are set right next to each other with their corresponding leather boardroom chairs to make their meetings a bit comfortable and relaxing. To take note of every detail in their meeting, the club's double-sided magnetic whiteboard was placed in front of the table.


And to make their stay truly relaxing, the room was made homey with the slightly- big remote-controlled air conditioning unit that was installed on the club's ceiling. 


Everyone's mouth gaped as they witnessed how their club room drastically changed in just a week.


Other members were still busy checking out all the corners of their room when Alan and Ken approached the book club president Ito Yui and her vice president (and later she introduced as her boyfriend and co-founder) Kimura Ren. Beside the club leaders was where Hayashi Sakura is standing, whom Yui appointed as their secretary.


"I hope you like your new club room, Ito-san." Alan smiled genuinely. 


"Yeah…" Ken echoed reluctantly. "Just tell us if there is anything you wanted to change "


Ito Yui, on the other hand, shook her head ferociously and responded, "Are you kidding me? This is by far the best club room I have ever seen."


Hayashi Sakura was pleased to see the president being this excited that she can't help but smile to herself. While she was still smiling about it, Mori Ken happened to look up and sneak a glance in her direction and was somewhat pleased with himself as well for making her happy.


After everyone got a better look at the new club room and was settled into their mini boardroom setting in the middle of the club room, Ito Yui stood in front of the double-sided whiteboard and wrote their agenda for today: CLUB WELCOME PARTY.


"Welcome to our first club meeting. As part of the tradition for welcoming the newly-recruited members of this club, we will hold a club welcome party as our first club activity for this academic year by the end of the month-- which is, technically, on a Saturday, five days from now." 


Ito Yui paused for a moment and keenly observed everyone's delighted reaction upon the mention of the words 'welcome party'.


"Any suggestions on what you would like to happen in our upcoming club activity?"


Everyone went silent after that and thought of a possible way to celebrate their membership into this club. It did not take long for each member to speak their suggestions.


"Out of town trip?" said one female student who belongs to Alan's fans club.


"Absolutely not." Yui rejected the idea right away. "I prefer it to be related with our club as much as possible."


Sakura rubbed her chin for as long as she can remember. Then, just as she was about to give up hope that her brain could think of any possible ideas, a sudden realization dawned upon her and she felt a sudden confidence surge within her. 


Sakura finally raised her right hand almost hesitant, and Yui immediately spotted her and called her name.


"What if we will have a simple gathering and feast here in this club room then we will be playing a game that we could still relate to books. If you are agreeing with this plan, I will be the one to prepare the game for all of us." Sakura happily suggested. Ito Yui thought about this for a while before giving her judgment.


"Well, I think that would be a lovely idea! Thanks, Hayashi-san."


However, another female student from Ken's fans club immediately stood up and complained with Sakura's suggestion. "That would be boring if we only stay here, I mean we will be spending the rest of our school days in this very room, right? Isn't there a way for us to go on a trip somewhere else besides here?"


"Good point." Yui spoke more to herself than to this girl.


"We could hang out in one of our resorts with free accommodations for all of you so that we won't go over the intended budget of the club," Alan suggested casually, like it is a normal thing for him to invite strangers into their resort for free. "What do you say?"


Yui's eyes literally sparkled upon hearing his suggestion. And this is why it is so important to have a multi-billionaire member in your club!


"I strongly approved that suggestion, Yamaguchi-san. Thank you." Yui agreed, making others clap their hands in delight and some of them even screamed in excitement.


And just like that, everything about their welcome party is finally settled. 







She is that masked maid he keeps seeing at the cafe whenever he needs someone to talk to, and he is that anonymous online friend of hers that constantly makes her smile whenever she's feeling down.

Book cover by: Chainslock

It was during lunch time when the group gathered in the old storage shed, that now looks better than the new one. Someone had clean the place up and now there where new furniture in place. There was a book shelf filled with books regarding all the school related sports clubs, their history and rules. Even a laptop suddenly got into the room. Alex already knew who did this, since he had placed some hidden cameras all over the room. This was the work of Evagngeline Kain, yesterday after the meeting in the cafe, it seems like Evangeline and a bunch of workers where in this room putting new things in it.
"What the hell where did all of this stuff come from!?" Rachel was looking around shocked as she saw all of the new things in the room.
"Yay! We got a lot of free things! Hmm, what's this?" Saya who was happily bouncing around the new couch saw a letter on the table. Alex and the others gathered around Saya trying to read the letter.
"From a fan, hope your club does well. :)" That was it... Everyone who read it had only one person in mind who could've afforded to buy all of these things. Seeing as the group doesn't know Alex himself is loaded there could only be one suspect.
"Really she could've just said that she wanted to give us some things." Rachel felt a bit guilty that Eva used her money for their own club, which isn't even official yet.
"I'm sure she just doesn't want to look like she was being biased... Well now that the Newspaper Club is gone no one will be making weird rumors about this. At most the people will just assume since Rachel and Niel are in this club a bunch of their fans might've place all these things here." Oliver nodded his head satisfied by the new look of the clubroom.
"No need to think so seriously... Eva wants to help since she is kind of part of this club right?" Saya looked at the other club members who responded with a nod.
While the four of them were appreciating the new things in the clubroom, they suddenly heard a bunch of gasping and screaming girls. The group who heard the noise coming closer started to feel confused as to why there was much noise.
Alex was about to go out, but when he saw through the window the person who was coming, he didn't move anymore.
The person on the other side of the door knocked first and after that, without even waiting for a response entered the room. "I'm coming in my juniors." Niel with his perfect smile appeared surrounded by a bunch of second-year girls, while a bunch of first-year girls where scattered behind the group.
Niel seeing everyone in the club was here, tried faking a pouting face which with his acting skills looked authentic. "Hey, my beloved juniors how could you do this to me? Aren't I a member as well? Why didn't you guys tell me that we were having a meeting here? I went to your classroom and you guys weren't there, good thing these cute little kittens knew where you went." Niel pointed at the first-year classmates of Alex and gang.
The girls hearing what Niel said started shouting at Alex and his group. "Yeah what kind of club are you?! leaving behind a member?"
"Yeah, you should inform all members if you have a meeting!"
"Right why did Niel have to join this shitty club, how about joining our club instead? We would never leave you behind there." When one of the girls suggested Niel joining her club instead, a more chaotic scene occurred. The girls started promoting their own clubs to Niel, who at the torrent of suggestions could only smile in response.
Oliver seeing the chaotic scene, decided as the club president he must fulfill his duties. He with his large frame stood up from the chair and approached the group of girls, who cowered behind Niel.
Oliver bowed in front of the girls. "I'm sorry it was my mistake as the club president." A true man must know when to say sorry, this was the words repeating in Oliver's head as he continued bowing.
Seeing the sincere act, the girls didn't know how to respond. Niel seeing the situation of both parties responded appropriately. "Now has everyone calm down? See what you made my Junior do... I hope everyone herewith apologizes to him. It was my fault as well for not asking their contact numbers so that we could communicate better." Niel who was claiming a part of the blame, as well as showing his radiant smile and aura that could envelop the whole area. Made the girls who knew that they were also overreacting bow at Oliver and said sorry, after that the group of girls slowly dispersed and what was left were the members of the Mercenary Club.
"Sorry about that, those girls tend to overreact. I hope you didn't find what they said offensive." Niel apologized to the members of the club.
Oliver shook his head, "no it's my fault I should've informed you about this meeting."
"No, it's alright. No need to feel bad, I was the one who brought an army of girls and made you look bad." Niel with his perpetual smile started looking around the clubroom. "You actually have a better clubroom than most of the clubs."
"Hey, you did great Oliver." Rachel patted Oliver on the back. She really thought that Oliver was going to say some delusional things again, but he responded in an appropriate manner.
"It's what I should do, I am the leader of this club." Alex nodded in approval of Oliver's statement, he then looked at Saya who he was sure was supposed to be the one reacting the most to this. Yet for some reason, Saya just stared dazedly at Oliver.
"Oh never mind that. Lunch break is about to end and we haven't even started talking about our strategy on how to ask Mr. Lyner to be our club advisor." Saya for the first time actually said something sensible which made the group look at her funny.
"What?" Saya blushed making her look so innocent which she wasn't.
"No its nothing, you're right we should start formulating a plan. Any suggestions?" Rachel decided to ask what was going on with Saya later when they were alone. For now, they needed to formulate a plan to convince Lyner to be their advisor.
"I think asking him sincerely is the best way" Niel suggested.
"That won't work a lot of other clubs tried that already and it failed," Rachel responded, which provoked Niel a little.
"Well, I'm pretty sure it might turn out differently if I'm the one asking," Niel said confidently, truly believing the world revolved around him.
"Hmm let's keep that as a backup plan. Any other suggestions?" Rachel didn't bother with Niel anymore, which made him feel shocked and embarrassed, but as a perfect human, he didn't need to feel bothered too much.
"How about we put a bed in here and tell him that he could sleep here, if he becomes our club advisor," Saya suggested, which garner the approval of the other club members.
"What is with you today? You're actually being sensible." Oliver asked Saya confused at her current act.
"Did I make you fall in love with me all over again?" Saya asked Oliver while clinging onto his arm.
"Nope, never mind, your still the same as before," Oliver answered Saya with a bit of relief in his voice.
"That's actually a good suggestion. How about you Alex do you have any suggestions?" Rachel looked at Alex who was as usual quiet the whole time while looking out the window.
"If you really want this person to be our advisor, I have my ways to make him agree... If you leave it to me I could have him agree by tomorrow." Alex responded calmly already thinking of ways to threa- to kindly ask Lyner to be their advisor.
"What ways are you talking about exactly?" Rachel and the others looked at Alex suspiciously.
"That is confidential." "Then its rejected! Next Oliver how about you?" Alex shrugged not really caring about this topic since he was more concerned about Rachel's safety. Well, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't interested in Sir. Lyner and his background.
"Sir. Lyner didn't agree to be the advisor of the other clubs since he found it boring and not worth his time right? So if I explain what kind of club we made I'm sure he would surely be interested." Oliver answered seriously like usual.
"So the same idea as Niel..." Rachel said a bit disappointed.
"How about you Rachel? You didn't suggest anything at all." Saya slyly smiled at Rachel, knowing her best friend, she most probably couldn't think of anything and just forced others to think for her.
'You thought you could corner me Saya. I already knew you would try something like this.' Rachel sneered.
"I'm good with Saya's plan as well... But seeing as that would cost us, how about we try asking him properly first like Niel and Oliver suggested."
"So, in the end, the plan you rejected, in the beginning, will be the one we use." Saya sighed at her two-faced best friend.


Raised to be the perfect soldier for battle, Alexander had risen to be the youngest S rank Merc. After attaining the strength he so desired, his adoptive father had forcefully made him leave the battlefield.

*The novel is already completed, I'm just adding some after stories.

After they'd taken their seats, Klaus shoved his bread into his mouth and started talking. Aoi listened to him as she demurely ate her grilled fish and rice.
She nodded once a while to let Klaus know she understood what he was saying, but after a while, she just had to interrupt.
"You were reincarnated?" Aoi muttered with her eyebrows furrowed. Perhaps she found it too bizarre for Klaus to say such a thing with confidence, that she stopped eating.
"You believe what this... entity was saying about your reincarnation?" Aoi added.
"Oh no, not only that. I also believe that my mom, dad, and Freda got reincarnated as well."
"...You."
Aoi had a fierce look in her eyes as if she was glaring at him, and Klaus gulped. He knew she wouldn't believe what he said, but he had to tell someone about it.
"...I see. So what you're trying to say is, that middle school student is the Freda you know in your previous life?"
"Yeah."
"You do know what you're saying is nonsense, right?"
"Yeah—No, I mean, I know it's weird, but it's the truth."
Klaus insisted that Aoi should believe him, but the girl shook her head. Knowing that his words wouldn't change her mind, he didn't pursue the topic any further after lunch, and they quickly left for the afternoon classes.
He decided that if he could convince Tsujihara J. Freda to spill the truth, then perhaps Aoi would believe him. But how?
There was no answer to this yet.
"I'm hungry."
Klaus and Aoi were on their way back from school when Aoi stopped by a convenience store. She met his gaze and kept nodding for some reason.
"I'm hungry," Aoi repeated monotonously.
"...I heard you the first time."
Klaus put a hand at his chin and looked through one of the store's windows. There were a few magazines available for sale at the counter. Placed at the forefront of the collection was a magazine geared towards book lovers.
This magazine was known for its up-to-date content regarding renowned and rising authors in the literature world. News about book rankings and upcoming releases had been the few features that Klaus looked for in the magazine.
He nodded back at Aoi with a smile. "I think I'll buy something too. The magazine I usually read might have some news about the upcoming sequel of Spirits Beyond."
Aoi didn't wait for him and strode into the store. She quickly picked up a few bags of potato chips, four chocolate bars, two soda cans, and threw them into a basket. She didn't hesitate at all when she brought the items to the counter.
That was a bit too much for her. At least, those who didn't know Aoi would think this way. Klaus had seen her eat more than that before dinner, and so far, her eating habit hadn't affected her body shape.
Klaus slid the magazine he'd bought into his school bag and met with Aoi outside the convenience store.
"Can I have a soda?" said Klaus as the duo continued walking.
"...Buy one yourself."
Klaus shrugged at Aoi's words, and once his house was within sight, he turned to look at her.
"Hey, I'm planning on finding a club tomorrow."
"Huh?"
Aoi stopped in her tracks and stared at Klaus. "Which club?"
"I want to check them out tomorrow and see which one would fit me the best. I'll decide right then."
Klaus stopped in front of his house and smiled at Aoi. "How about you? Have you decided on a club you want to join?"
"...Not yet."
Back when Aoi was in middle school, she had joined the sewing club but quitted after a month. She wasn't feeling it. Aoi said this sentence to Klaus when he asked her.
But she was quite good at sewing that it was a shame she quitted. Klaus knew that if she had stayed in the club, then she would've picked up a few more skills.
What did her parents say about her quitting?
Aoi never told anyone what they thought about it, not even Klaus. The indifferent expression glued to her face made it hard for anyone to guess.
"Hmm?" Klaus had twisted the front door open when she cast a glance at Aoi. "Your parents must have given some suggestions, right? Since participating in a club is mandatory now, I suppose they had listed a few that might interest you."
"That..." Aoi bit her lip, her hands trembling. "Um, they let me choose. I can join any club I want."
"Oh?"
That was quite supportive of them.
"Hey, I'd never entered your house before. I'll carry those bags for you as we go."
Klaus reached out to grab the plastic bags Aoi was carrying, but she pulled away at the last second. Huh?
He looked straight in her eyes, and for some reason, she seemed like crying? What happened to her all of a sudden?
"Hey, Aoi..."
"Thank you, but I can carry these myself. See you tomorrow, Klaus."
Aoi turned her head and walked briskly, away from his sight. She couldn't show her emotions in front of him. Not when it would risk her revealing the secret she'd been keeping from him.
Not now.
Never.
When Aoi arrived at her house, she quickly went to her room and shut her door. Her plastic bags fell to the floor. For a few moments, Aoi merely stood at her spot with bated breath and wide eyes. The fact that she was about to spill her secret to Klaus made her very anxious and afraid.
Surely, there was nothing to be afraid of, right? Even after all these years, Klaus didn't know about her background, and she felt relieved.
She had never invited him into her house, and he never asked either. In a sense, she was grateful that it didn't turn out the other way.
Yes, everything should remain the way it is.
Right?
Knock.
Knock.
Aoi let out a yelp when she heard someone knocking on her door. Her eyes bulging, she strode to a corner of the room and hunkered down.
Tears streaked her cheeks as she held her head in her hands.
"Klaus..."

"What happened back there? I saw you getting sorted out, orientation wasn't like that before." Eloise curiously asked a famished Laura who was now devouring the food they bought in the fancy canteen just now like a lion. They decided to eat first because the 'finding who the culprit is' took a very long time until they got past noon and everyone was complaining of hunger. They only let them go when her husband meddled in, saying that it may only just the broken phone that had access something before it broke, so though Mrs. Sarah was skeptical about that idea, she let them go, like as she should. It was also the only time they heard Mr. Paul's deep voice wishing them to enjoy their lunch, in a scary tone.

Laura swallowed the food in her mouth first before answering, "Typical boys fought and someone broke a rule and this director came gushing over this matter and even starved us. Is she normally like that? She's cruel!" She complained, frowning while munching a big bite of boneless fried chicken soundly.

"She's not really that scary, she's more of annoying and vociferous, nothing compared to her husband who rarely speaks but when he does, you'll feel like you were in Antarctica." Eloise picked up one piece of potato fries and bit on it, "He's also our professor since he is a doctor. We sometimes go to his hospital for more realistic learnings." She added.

Laura only nodded as she straight up drunk her strawberry milkshake and even made a refreshing sound after which made Eloise looks at her weirdly and felt the pain for Laura instead because the drink was a cold one. Agents have always had an appetite, after they did a task, they will go straight to a restaurant no matter how gore the scene they came from and eat all they could consume there, but they still keep their healthy figure through heavy exercises the next morning.

"On that note, are we classmates? What year are you in by the way?" She asked, realizing that she didn't ask about that last night.

"Third as well. I'm in class A, you?"

She rolled her eyes in disappointment, "Class C."

Eloise gave her a small smile, "Sad to know that, but I think even if we're still in the same class you'll rarely see me there. We often got pulled out to train all day, especially that the annual competition is on the corner."

"How're your studies then? Don't you have grades to maintain to be a scholar and athlete at the same time?"

"You must not have made your research about UOE, Laura, that's also why you ended up here. To tell you frankly, this school is the worst." She spat, not even filtering the word she described the school that provided her home and education, "Erudites means knowledge gained from books, and the people here, the teachers, the principal, took it literally. They're making us memorize everything from the books, even the most insignificant detail, I'm not exaggerating but academic scholars are not allowed to hold anything but a book and do anything but to read, except of course when you eat, take a bath, and sleep, the only people allowed to hold sports equipment were the sports scholars obviously, we can do whatever we want, we can still play even if we have failing grades, all we just need to do and secure is the first spot and collect the championship trophies, also, to warn you now, there are bullies here, and they are amongst the sports scholars."

Well, sounds like 'the worst'. Laura thought to herself, even wanting to finish her task now.

About the bullies, she thought of someone when she heard the word. "Is this little soccer guy I met yesterday in the field a bully?"

"Sucker?"

Laura coughed up in surprise and looked at her chillingly, "Soccer, Eloise, the sports where you kick the ball to the goal." She explained, gesticulating it for a better understanding.

Eloise laughed, "I was just messing around. Anyway, soccer guy, you mean, this six feet tall, perfectly build body, the handsome captain--"

"Looks arrogant which I know he really is, too nosy for a big guy like him, attention-seeker, kicked the ball to my side and even threw it at me when I ignored him. Yeah, I think we're talking about that guy." She continued since the latter appeared to be a fangirl and would never say a bad thing about this certain guy which she should be.

"He did that to you?" Eloise asked in surprise like a guy like him would never do such a thing. "He's a gentleman, he never hurt anyone in this school intentionally."

"Well, you're speaking in a fangirl's point of view and I'm speaking as a victim, who do you think should we believe?" She simply replied, silently telling her that she wouldn't believe her.

"No, really Laura. I admit he may be weird sometimes but he is a good guy. He's not one of those bullies I was talking about. He is even the president of a club!" The latter explained, eyes almost forming into a heart which annoyed Laura a little because what she witnessed was the complete opposite of what she's describing him.

"Wait, club?" She curiously asked, "You have that here?"

Eloise rolled her eyes, "C'mon Laura, almost all of the school have that. Didn't they discuss it in the orientation? You have to have a club membership in one of the clubs in the school within your first week." 

She didn't know if it was not discussed or she was just not listening, most probably the latter as she was busy planning earlier. She nodded in realization and understanding, "So, this good guy for you but not for me is a president of which club?"

"Believe it or not, a Sleuth Club."

Laura snorted, "That's for the lazy scholars here right? Is there even one?"

Eloise rubbed her eyebrow, watching Laura laugh and being judgmental. "That's not the kind of sleuth he means by that club. Sleuth as in a detective."

Laura stopped laughing, her brow raised as she squinted her eyes, "Are you for real? That git is into that kind of thing?"

She nodded, "Weird, right? But you know what's weirder and amusing?"

"What?"

"The club has no member."

A beat.

A boisterous laugh cracked the silence of the place that echoed in the whole canteen and snapped the scholars' attention from whatever they were doing as they eyed the woman laughing like a lunatic on the side while the other girl was hiding her face in embarrassment, whisper-yelling to her to stop.

"Laura! Every place here is a library! Stop it."

Laura let out a series of coughs first before finally calming down. She couldn't believe a club without a member would make her laugh like that, especially that it's the club of the guy who rudely tried to get through her yesterday, "So, anyway, a self-proclaimed president, huh?" She chuckled again, shaking her head. "Wasn't there any rule like you have to have this certain number of members to be eligible in forming a club, something like that?"

"Well, there is. But Blake had members before. Not until.." She cleared her throat, "Actually, I don't know what happened. Anyway, I think his club will be demolished if he does not gather at least one club member. It's very easy if it is another club, however, no one here is interested in that kind of club."

Laura leaned back to her chair, arms crossed, and now thinking of this unfortunate club, it was not surprising to know that no one was interested in a mystery club, it was even more surprising that there was a club like that in this school. "What does this club has done so far?"

"I don't know, really. It is like a non-existent club and I think was only made by.. Blake's group of friends." Something's hindering Eloise to say the whole information about the club, Laura noticed. She looked like she was thinking every word she'll say thoroughly and carefully.

"What's your relationship with this Blake guy?" She curiously asked, squinting her eyes as if interviewing her.

"He knows me, I know him. We're acquainted?"  She answered, unsure. She sipped on her milkshake and looked out of the glass window.

Laura hummed, not believing her words even a bit, but let it go. "Do you have any suggestions on which club should I join in?"

She thinks first. finger on her chin and nibbling her lips. "I think all of the academic clubs you could ever think of is here, arts, math, dance, choir, etc. You can check it on the announcement board later. Instead, I highly suggest that you avoid joining fraternity and sorority."

"What? These book monsters got time to join that kind of group?" She asked in disbelief.

Eloise nodded, "Sadly, they do that to avoid being the target of bullies, which actually works, but they become their slaves after."

"Egotistic, problematic young fellows." Laura muttered under her breath, "Should I start creating my own club that protects these poor bullied scholars?"

The short-haired girl chuckled without humor while shaking her head, "Many tried that, Laura. But look. there are still bullies."

'They only need a good beating', Laura wanted to say but stopped herself as it may raise suspicion and confusion about her identity.

They were talking and taking their time in the canteen as they decided to just have their tour later at around two in the afternoon. They are laughing about something when a girl came rushing in, breathing heavily, horror visible on her face, and looked like she was about to combust.

"S-someone.." She breathed and gasped for air, "Someone is dead!"

　　The next day, Chu Yu asked for leave and came to the Xuangui Comics Club alone.
　　Inside Xuangui Comics Club, Li Xi has been waiting for a long time. As usual, wearing ol professional attire, the whole person looks capable and energetic.
　　As soon as Chu Yu walked into Xuangui Comics Company, he found Li Xi's office in a familiar way.
　　"Please sit down!" Li Xi said after seeing Chu Yu.
　　After getting up and pouring a cup of hot tea for Chu Yu, he closed the door by the way, and the whole room was in an airtight environment.
　　"Presumably, there is no need for me to say anything. Just yesterday, at the serialization meeting of the Xuangui Comics Club, your work Natsume Friends Account and another work Qianxing Mijing were selected by the editor-in-chief Deng He, plus another Three of the excellent works in the second-level journals of Bu Xuangui will be serialized in the current issue of
　　Shuiyuan in three weeks !" "Three weeks later?" Chu Yu's eyes narrowed.
　　Before coming, Chu Yu naturally knew about the fact that his work could pass the serialization meeting smoothly.
　　However, he did not expect that Xuangui's efficiency was so high. Only yesterday, he decided which works could be published on the Water's Edge, and the next day he immediately set the publication date of the works.
　　"This is the contract signed. If there is no problem, I will print it out and complete the contract." Li Xi placed a laptop in front of Chu Yu.
　　Entry is a long contract.
　　Fortunately, after the Song Jiayu incident and after dealing with cuttlefish, Chu Yu has a much stronger awareness of the relevant laws. Although he does not say that he is proficient in the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, he at least understands the relevant cases of contract fraud in the comics industry. Over.
　　He can see the pitfalls in the general contract.
　　Of course, for Li Xi, Su Lu's good friend, Chu Yu still has a certain degree of trust in him, but he must be defensive, so this contract...Chu Yu takes it very seriously.
　　Finally, after changing three cups of tea in front of Li Xi, Chu Yu finally looked away from the electronic contract.
　　I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
　　In general, this contract is quite satisfactory and there are no pitfalls.
　　The main key content is the following.
　　First, the comic manuscript is remunerated at two thousand dragon coins per page.
　　For this, Chu Yu didn't have any comments.
　　Although on the surface, the author's remuneration of two thousand dragon national coins is only one thousand yuan more than that of Man Ying.
　　Compared with the two periodicals of Manying and Shuiyuan, the gap between the two can be described by heaven and earth.
　　Each page is only a thousand yuan higher, and I am really sorry for the status of the journal Shuiyuan.
　　But when it comes to a cartoonist who can serialize comics in journals like Shuiyuan, who cares about the mere income of manuscripts?
　　It's not the same as Japanese manga in parallel planes, which is popular all over the world.
　　On the plane of the Dragon Kingdom, although the Japanese island side is still carrying forward the theme of comics, the potential power of the Dragon Kingdom mainland region to come from behind cannot be ignored.
　　At least, in the current Longguo comics industry, the entire animation market is extremely regulated, with a strong sense of copyright, and there are countless fans that have been cultivated.
　　In Parallel Time and Space, the works of hundreds of millions of books sold in one- line books can be described as the ceiling of the comics industry, and most of them are concentrated in Japan in that world. 　　But on the plane of the Dragon Kingdom, with a population of more than one billion people, the difficulty of breaking through one hundred million in a single comic book is much lower than in parallel time and space. 　　Moreover, in this world, the Dragon Kingdom is definitely a unique existence in the world's comic market. 　　In short, the cartoons of the entire world are imitating the Dragon Kingdom. 　　Therefore, sales in overseas markets should not be underestimated. 　　This has also created a large group of staggering rich people in Longguo comics. 　　There are many cartoonists who rely on single book royalties, adapt animations, and earn hundreds of millions of dollars in peripheral income. 　　It is not uncommon for the names of several old cartoonists to appear on the Long Country Rich List.







　　In such an environment, everyone will certainly not care about the comic manga remuneration in this mere mere.
　　In the contract, many cartoonists are concerned about the share of copyright.
　　Comics are serialized in periodicals, and the comics club helps you to promote the comics. Naturally, the comics club also has a share of the copyright revenue of your works.
　　In this contract, the percentage of royalties for the comic book issued by
　　Chu Yu was 8%... Chu Yu looked at Li Xi.
　　"Li Xi, this is about the proportion of comic royalties..."
　　"There is nothing to talk about!" Li Xi stopped what Chu Yu wanted to say.
　　"Genki comic agency, any of the first comic strip on the edge of the water this journal cartoonists in the booklet into the proportion of royalties, is the ratio!"
　　"If you want in on this issue and mysterious Kametan, at least that's after your comic has achieved impressive results and serialized the new work! At that time, 9%, 10%, or even higher royalties are possible, but it all depends on it. Because of your past achievements."
　　Chu Yu was silent for a long time upon hearing this.
　　"Understood!"
　　Chu Yu didn't bother with this. Ideas are very important, but we must also look at reality.
　　Now he really can't negotiate terms with Xuangui.
　　For the rest, the contract includes animation adaptations, other themes adaptations, and the sharing of peripheral products, which are basically the industry's normal standards.
　　"I have no opinion!" Chu Yu nodded.
　　"Okay!" Li Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth.
　　Print out the contract neatly and instruct Chu Yu one by one where and how to sign.
　　five minutes later.
　　Li Xi put away the contract and reached out to Chu Yu.
　　Chu Yu also stood up to respond to her, holding their hands together.
　　"You are welcome to join Xuangui!" Li Xi smiled and looked at Chu Yu.
　　After this moment, she is Chu Yu's comic editor, which means that the two have officially established a cooperative relationship. Chu Yu's physical and mental state, comic serialization progress, and personal private life all need to be involved in varying degrees. .
　　At the same time, the performance of Chu Yu's works is also related to her personal income on Xuangui and her career promotion prospects.
　　Among other things, if Chuyu's Natsume's friend account was cut in one or two months after being serialized because of poor popularity, then Li Xi from now on, not to mention working in Xuangui, even if he would change jobs to other comic companies in the future. Some people will use this to talk about things.
　　Signing Chu Yu is also a gamble for Li Xi.
　　But anyway, for Li Xi, she has been like this all the way.
　　The same was true when Tang Xin was excavated back then, otherwise Tang Xin's rise would not be so fast.
　　"Well, that's the case, then from today, you will be my partner for comics in Xuangui!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.
　　"Three weeks later, Natsume's Friends Account was officially published in the Shuibian. According to the rules, the new work was published for the first time, with two stories together!"
　　"Except for the three manuscripts you gave me before, in order to keep up with the serialization progress of the comics, Starting from the week when this work is serialized, you should also submit the manuscript of the fourth chapter of this work!"
　　"Every week thereafter, the deadline is Friday. I will visit when it is due. I hope you will not delay the manuscript. Don't be like someone..."
　　"Otherwise, you will appreciate my reminder method!" Li Xi seemed to say jokingly.
　　But Chu Yu could vaguely feel that she was serious. UU read www.uukanshu.com
　　just right, and since Li Xi talked about this, Chu Yu also spoke.
　　"Of course, if you are acquainted with Su Lu, you should be able to understand that I have never delayed the manuscript..."
　　"It's just that, as a native of Los Angeles , I am not familiar with the magic city.... In order to complete the comic creation with higher quality, I need to find a few comic assistants."
　　"I don't know Li Xi, do you have any good suggestions for this?"
　　"Comic Assistant?" Li Xi heard the words and thought for a few seconds.
　　"How many do you want?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.
　　"Two!" Chu Yu said.
　　Although one would be enough according to common sense, Chu Yu also had other ideas, and he was already a speed monster in the eyes of an ordinary cartoonist anyway.
　　And because of the systematic reasons, Chu Yu doesn't have to spend a lot of time conceiving the plot of the comic.
　　That being the case, why not try to see if you can serialize two works or even more works at the same time with enough manga assistants?
　　After all, there are so many excellent works in the system, and Chu Yu doesn't expect to serialize them all in this lifetime, but he can always serialize one more.
