Being in front of the entire student body, I was suddenly filled with the sinking dread that I had my fly unzipped.
No, no. Ava would have zipped the dammed thing up herself during the inspection if I had forgotten such a pivotal detail
B-ut what if she forgot to check. She is a girl after all so the experience of leaving the fly unzipped would be totally alien for her.
-You really expected her to check your fly, you creep?
Uh-huh maybe I should check just in case...No, no! Ava said not to make a fool out of myself in front of the entire student body!
: ...the student council will always be there to listen...
I nervously scratched my forehead, what a long winded speech!
: ...With that, on behalf of the entire faculty and staff, I welcome you to Sunrider Academy.
The audience politely applauded. Whew! It's over at last. I withdrew with Ava thoroughly relieved to be off stage.
Since Ava was a fourth year now, she went upstairs while I was on the third floor with the rest of the third years. An old looking teacher introduced himself as Mr. Grey and began our class
Where should I eat?
-Only two choices here, ini mini...courtyard
-We went back to class immediately and got another +1 to stress and intelligence, I reloaded and picked cafeteria, same result =/
:Wha...?
Ava opened a file called “Club Reports” on her holo and flipped through page after page of forms.
: Some of there clubs have not submitted dues or membership reports for years! Ugh...I knew the previous president was lazy, but I never imagined it could be this bad!
I could feel my eyes glazing over as I looked trough the paperwork. I threw my hands up
: Is it really a big deal? As long as people are having fun, aren't the clubs fulfilling their purpose?
Ava stared at me incredulously
: … … …
-This girl really needs to get laid, we'll get to that at some point down the line in suppose
: Ugh, we have to get the clubs into order before anything else. I'm appointing you as the Club Manager, Kayto. Go to the problem clubs and get their issues resolved, got it?
C-Club manager? I got slapped with a title already!?
: Oy, you can't just...
Ava crossed her arms
: Or you could just help me fill out these equipment use forms
A terrifying stack of paperwork sat beside Ava
: Okay, okay, I'll go figure out what's wrong
: Good
It seemed like there were three problem clubs, the kendo, science, and swim clubs.
Looks like I'll be managing the three of them.
: Member count refers to the number of members in the club
(You don't say). Readiness refers to the current ability of the club to perform their activities. Morale refers to the happiness of the club's members. Clubs require readiness to win competitions and bring prestige to the school however, gaining readiness drains moral. If the club's morale is too low, then it's performance will be negatively affected. Having more member multiplies the club readiness. However, chances to recruit new members do not come often. Managing each club's stats is the key to being a successful Club Manager. Do your best!
-More crap to manage, great...
Well, let's check out the kendo club first.
:Hi, are you in the Kendo club? I'm the new club manager at the student council...
She eyed me suspiciously, as if I was somehow already the bad guy
: I'm here to talk about the dues for your club-
: The imperial tax collector has arrived!
What the--
While I was firmly opposed to the notion of running a random girl down, I instinctively gave chase
: Hey wait!!
She ran into the court yard.
: I'm from the student council! Your club hasn't paid any dues for the last three years!
: Lalala, dunno what you're talking about~!
She picked up a watering hose from the garden and pointed it me (
that's a *sic*, can't even proofread your own game after all the time it's been out...)
I narrowly leapt out of the way and took cover behind a tree
She laughed as she soaked the tree with water. T-that's improper use of school equipment! Fortunately, the water lost presssure and the stream limped down into a trickle.
I've got her now!
:You've got a lot to answer for!
: Eeeek
I marched towards her. She backed herself into a tree. I got her now!
: Now... isn't it time you explained what happened to the dues?
: Eeeerrrmmmm...
: Heh-heh. Not yet!
Asaga gave the tree a kick.
(I don't think she's told us her name yet dud)
: Fly my children~!
: What the----
:E-eaaaahhh!!!
And so, I Kayto Shields, became the first to fall in the line of duty. Whoever knew that being on the student council could be a matter of life or death
This sort of joke is generally only amusing once, not that the first time this game used it was that funny to begin with
My senses returned to me
:A bt!? You nearly turned me into bird food!
The girl picked a feather off from my head held it in front of me
“Pretty” my ass! I crossed my arms.
: I'm Kayto Shields from the student council. The President says that you've been behind on your dues.
: The d-dues, you ask... Eh-heh...
:Let's see... All together, I think you owe the school six hundred credits.
: S-s-s-s-six hundred creds!? Y-you could buy a nuclear warhead for that amount!!!
-This chick is getting on my nerves
No you couldn't, ya moron! In what kind of universe would a weapon of mass destrucion be that cheap!?
:Well?
: Eh-heh...Well, the truth is...
The girl suddenly prostrated herself before me and held up her credit chip.
: I'm sorry! I can only offer ten creds!
: Ten creds!? This isn't the due!
: Nope it's a bribe, Mr. Manager!
: Oy, what, you think this is Ongess and you can just bribe your way trough everything...?
: I apologize
I sighed.
:So what happened to the dues?
: I honestly do not know, Mr. Manager!
: You are the captain of the kendo club aren't you ?
: That I am, Mr. Manager!
: So isn't it you responsibility to gather the dues from the members and send it to the student council?
: That it is, Mr. Manager
: Eh-heh... But the truth is... people come and go so quickly... and well... asking for money upfront makes the first years reluctant to join... I'm sorry! I have no idea whether we've even bothered to collect dues the past three years!
How can you even operate a club without dues!?
: Sigh... So I guess northing's going to be resolved, huh.
: Are we going to get disbanded, Mr. Manager?
She eyed me with huge puppy eyes. Uck...
: Ah whatever. I've been out in charge by the president to put the problem clubs back into order. So I guess I can manage the kendo club until you've paid off the back dues.
You're giving us another chance?
I shrugged.
:That's what I'm here to do, I suppose
: All right! Eh-heh... dun, worry 'bout a thing, Mr. Manager! I'll put the kendo club back to working order in no time at all! You'll see!
W-what a sudden change in emotion
: I'm Asaga Oakrun, the captain of the kendo club! Nice to meet'cha!
She shook my hand over vigorously.
: L-like wise... As I said, I'm Kayto shields the new vice president of the student council
-Note he's said this like three times already
: Eh-heh, I look forward to working with you, Mr. Manager!
My name has been replaced with a title already!
… … …
I got Asaga's contact info and her club times onto my holo. Starting tomorrow I'll have to work hard to fix everything
