The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　If the environment were different, he would be happy to sit down with them, have a cup of black tea, and have a good chat about sentimental youth literature.

　However, it is clearly not suitable now.

　He had to reiterate, "Dear seniors, please take a close look at my sign. I'm here to recruit new members, not to be recruited!"

　But Herona Tracy just smiled and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, our little Emma has already promised to join the literature club. If you want to spend more time with little Emma..."

　Are you using people who haven't even joined the club yet to seduce them?

　Dark couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's not how we're supposed to be..."

　"You're right. You woman are ungrateful. Dark Dimon should join our astrology society!"

　The bespectacled, aloof senior suddenly interrupted.

　Another woman beside him immediately chimed in, "Even magical elves possess divination talent; he's practically a born diviner. Only our astrology society can give him the greatest support!"

　Dark's lips twitched: "Senior, a magical spirit is a magical spirit, but I myself do not have the talent for divination."

　The woman from the astrology club smirked, looking like she knew everything, and said, "You don't need to be modest. Eudora has already told us something. You are the Child of the Stars!"

　Good heavens, what exactly did Eudora say to these people?

　Dak opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

　He also remembered the two people, but he had just happened to run into them yesterday afternoon.

　These two were trying to steal his Rose away, so much so that his sure-fire "three-fifths" is about to be missing a crucial piece!

　As for Eudora, she heard that Professor Mitia had asked her to join the astrology club, so she had no choice but to comply.

　"Hey, can you guys even listen to what the other person has to say? We need to respect the opinions of newcomers, right? Newcomers to the sports club?"

　A muscular man who looked like a student from the Knights Academy suddenly raised his voice, attracting Dark's attention.

　Dak turned to look at him, his mood unpleasant.

　This is the person who was relentlessly pursuing Diana yesterday, trying to steal her away!

　Small clubs are basically just trying to survive, while large clubs need to maintain strong competitiveness in every grade level.

　Therefore, they would start paying attention to and trying to win over the junior mages when they were still in their first year.

　However, formal enrollment will begin in the second year.

　Therefore, over such a long period of time, the students who were originally scheduled to attend could very well be lured away by other clubs.

　Therefore, large clubs will usually make another move on students they are interested in after the start of the semester and before recruiting new members.

　If the person you're trying to win over is a high achiever whose talent is clearly visible and who is destined to reach the top, you'll naturally use some tactics that appeal to their preferences.

　For example, the sports club has clearly been paying close attention to Diana for a long time.

　The candy they used to corrupt Diana's will was the most exclusive limited-edition ultimate candy in the candy world!

　Unless you're a die-hard candy lover, you won't be able to appreciate the true deliciousness of that candy.

　However, the final result was completely unexpected.

　Diana, who should have zero resistance to candy, once again refused their offer with an iron will.

　Although the sports club ultimately gave the limited-edition ultimate candy to Diana, they lost, they lost completely!

　However, the sports club never gives up.

　Since a direct breakthrough has failed, we will resort to a roundabout tactic.

　In fact, it's obvious without even needing to investigate that Diana's defenses would be extremely easy to breach once Dark Demon was recruited into the organization.

　So they launched a raid on Dak at noon today!

　……

　As for the literary society and the astrology society, they were really there for Darke himself.

　After all, Dak was the top student in the second year, and he had just rejected the aristocratic history research club in front of everyone, which they originally thought Dak would definitely join.

　If we don't do it now, when will we?

　For astrology societies in particular, this is a win-win situation.

　The first-year student with the strongest divination talent is undoubtedly Eudora, who possesses the Eye of the Stars.

　But in reality, Rose Florty, a girl who had always seemed like an appendage to Dark and Diana and was not particularly noticeable, possessed a divination talent that was not much inferior to Eudora's.

　Furthermore, Rose's divination talent, like Eudora's, leans towards astrology.

　This is undoubtedly a huge surprise for the astrology society!

　If we can win over both of these exceptionally talented girls, it's not impossible for the astrology club to surpass the literature club and even beat the sports club.

　To break through Rose's defenses, they would need to target Dark Dimon.

　Therefore, the astrological society is particularly eager for Dark Dimon, the "sun" mentioned by Eudora!

　……

　However, no matter how sincere these people are, Dark will not, and cannot, agree.

　After all, the Fantastic Beasts Club carries the future of the magical creatures on its shoulders.

　As a parent, you always have to make some sacrifices for your children.

　Moreover, joining a large organization and standing on the shoulders of giants will certainly make things much easier.

　But it doesn't give me the same sense of accomplishment as creating a club myself.

　Therefore, when faced with the siege of these large clubs, Dark once again firmly and without the slightest hesitation said, "Let's stop here. This is my club's recruitment area."

　After the onlookers quieted down a bit, he added, "Of course, if you want to transfer to my Fantastic Beasts Club, you can come back here after midnight."

　The recruitment officers for various clubs, including the Literature Club, Astrology Club, and Sports Club, looked at each other in bewilderment.

　Finally, Winnie Skadi from the Literature Club spoke up: "If you don't want to, don't force it. We're not bandits."

　"You're right, haha." The muscular guy from the sports club scratched the back of his head, smiled憨厚ly, and decisively climbed down the steps.

　Only the aloof senior from the astrology club persisted, saying, "Are you really not going to reconsider? Our astrology club's vast resources will be open to you!"

　"Alright, alright, everyone's gone." His girlfriend gave Dak an apologetic smile and forcibly pulled the senior away.

　The small stall was finally quiet again.

　Dak stretched out his finger, pressed down on the fruit-eating worm's little tail, and rubbed it, sighing, "Big clubs have it tough too."

　"It's not easy for us either." The fox demon glanced at him with a look of disdain.

　But its appearance is so striking that it seems to be flirting no matter what.

　The sword-wielding lion beast whispered, "The auras of these people are all extremely powerful."

　“Of course.” Dark leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and squinted at the sky.

　The world is moving forward, both in terms of time and people.

　……

　It was exactly noon.

　The barriers at the entrance of the venue were finally removed, and more students than expected poured in.

　Students always love a good show, and even if they're not there for club recruitment, they'll still want to see what new clubs are being created.

　Besides, even if you're not here to see the club, you can still come and see the people!

　At the front of the crowd, Diana linked arms with Rose, stuffing snacks into her mouth while glancing around erratically.

　Rose asked疑惑地问道, "Nana, have you seen the recruitment booth for the Fantastic Beasts Club?"

　Diana, however, said excitedly, "No need to rush, we'll find it eventually. Let's look around first."

　They didn't come to set up a stall with Dak from the beginning, wasn't it because they wanted to experience the atmosphere and maybe get "recruited" along the way?

　Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse to head straight to the recruitment office of the Fantastic Beasts Society at this point?

　However, to be fair, the atmosphere of club recruitment does have a bit of a festival or celebration feel to it, and some clubs even use live performances to attract students' attention.

　Large clubs select members, while small clubs are selected.

　This has always been the case.

　……

　As the first wave of people was absorbed by the venue, the second wave followed.

　The first group consisted mostly of second-year students who were in a hurry.

　The second wave consisted mostly of first-year students who were just there to watch the excitement.

　Wherever Anna and Angie went, the crowds naturally dispersed.

　Within their first week of school, the two princesses had already carved out their own factions among the first-year students of the academy. Now, they have formed two rival groups, like two little leopards.

　Meanwhile, "Dimon," a first-year student from the Noble Academy, was also promoted and formed a third force.

　The situation for first-year students today is much more complicated than it was for Dark.

　The House of Nobles alone is showing signs of becoming a three-way power struggle.

　The two little princesses gaze at each other across the mountains, while Joey, the one with the least power, survives in the cracks.

　But because Joey had Dimon behind him and Aurora as his deskmate, he wasn't entirely without a chance to resist.

　I wonder what their parents will think when they see their children not studying properly but instead forming cliques?

　the other side.

　Victoria and Phoenix also met up in the corner.

　The two magical sprites, unusually, shook off their "friends" and entered the venue hand in hand.

　……

　Dak remained patiently waiting in a corner of the venue.

　Although there was no one in front of him, he was not in a hurry.

　As time goes by, the crowd will eventually reach its end, meaning that those with potential have likely already been filtered out.

　Dark's recruitment target wasn't second-year students; he actually wanted to recruit two third-year students to fill the vacancies.

　If you can find a promising prospect like Angela from last year, you'll be extremely lucky.

　However, the probability of this is very small, so he is now observing the newly established club next door.

　Although he was the only second-year student to create a new club this year, a surprising number of third-year students started creating new clubs!

　Perhaps it was because they didn't understand the club rules in second grade, and only became familiar with them and developed their own ideas in third grade.

　There are actually quite a few people like this.

　Students at St. Mary's College are inherently very independent.

　There will be many small clubs in the future, with one or two third-year students as the core and several second-year students as ordinary members.

　For example, next to Dak, a third-year student sat alone behind a table, nervously watching the second-year students gradually arrive.

　Like Dak, she also drew a poster, but only one. The other wooden sign simply had the club's name on it, and it was very rudimentary.

　Dark glanced at her school uniform and knew she was a third-year student at the Fools' House.

　The club she founded all by herself is called the "Puppet Club"!

　This is undoubtedly a community centered on personal interests.

　This third-year student from the Fool's House probably wants to form a club and find like-minded people.
