Chapter 64: Witch Clubs
The club system is an important part of the Witch Academy.
In Dorothy's memory, there were actually all kinds of clubs in the schools of her previous life. To put it plainly, these were just student groups formed spontaneously by three or five people because of common hobbies or ideals.
It's just that in the country where she lived in her previous life, the student's main job was to study, and everything else was an evil idea. Therefore, she didn't pay much attention to things like clubs. Anyway, in Dorothy's memory, it wasn't until university that she really saw this thing called a club.
It's just that at that time, she finally joined an anime club, but after four years of registration, she didn't receive a few notices asking her to participate in club activities. It was simply joining for nothing.
Most of her impressions of clubs were learned from anime works with youth campus themes.
Well, it's about the feeling of a group of young students not studying properly every day, often running to the club to slack off, and even having puppy love, enjoying youth under a beautiful name.
Only occasionally would there be a few rare works that were truly doing club activities, truly cultivating hobbies, and chasing dreams.
It's just that the witches' clubs were a bit different from the clubs in Dorothy's memory.
In terms of club establishment, the difference wasn't big. As long as you reached the minimum standard of five members and found a club base, you could directly go to the Student Council to apply. If there were no special circumstances, then as long as the application met the standards, it could basically be approved.
It's just that in terms of club operation afterward, there was some difference.
Those small clubs with a membership scale of less than a hundred people were more similar to the concept of student clubs in Dorothy's memory, where every day was just a group of young people slacking off and having puppy love, enjoying the peaceful daily life of youth.
But starting from medium-sized clubs with more than a hundred people, reaching thousands or even tens of thousands, the nature changed.
The structure of this kind of medium-sized club had transformed from a joke-like hobby group into a rigorous organization, more similar to the unions or companies in Dorothy's impression.
As for those large clubs with hundreds of thousands to millions of people, or even super-large clubs with over a million members, they were even more similar to the concepts of groups or even countries.
Although it sounded a bit exaggerated, there was no help for it; witches' definition of clubs was actually more inclined to the prototype of associations (the witch version of companies and enterprises).
In the witches' thinking, a club wasn't just a place to enjoy youth. Those salted-fish witches who lay flat naturally didn't care; they could just play around casually.
But if you really hoped to achieve a career after graduation, then the club should also be a transitional platform for underage witches to hone their own abilities, expand their own connections, find future companions, and build the prototype of their future team.
Many well-managed clubs would directly transform into formal witch associations when the founders graduated, officially starting business activities.
However, their former clubs wouldn't disappear directly after they graduated, but would remain in the Witch Academy after downsizing to become a recruitment point for providing fresh blood to the association. In this way, if a little witch wanted to join a certain witch association after graduation, she could join the corresponding club first to start practicing in advance.
Therefore, the major clubs in the Witch Academy nowadays could be said to have used all means to compete for freshmen and attract more high-quality little witches to join them. They often fought openly and secretly with each other, which was very lively. Every year's freshman enrollment season would set off a battle for people.
Now it was another freshman enrollment season. Unsurprisingly, when Dorothy and Audrey came to the vicinity of this huge square specially used for club recruitment, the two of them saw the crowded and lively scene from far away.
This huge square, which had been cast with a super-large space expansion spell and had an actual internal space sufficient to accommodate tens of millions of people, was already large enough to be called a plain. At this time, it was crowded with people. Anyway, Dorothy looked down from the sky and saw a large black mass; it really felt like witches were like ants.
Because the application difficulty was too low, who knew how many clubs still existed in the Witch Academy today? Now, large and small clubs all rushed out to grab people. Just looking at the registration points of major clubs, there were roughly tens of thousands of them.
"Two classmates, please wait a moment. Are you interested in learning about our Void Sea Fishing Club?"
"Classmate, classmate, do you want to see our Drill Through the Sky Club? Mechanical drills are the romance of witches."
"Two, please wait a moment. I see that your luck hasn't been very good recently. Learn about the Divination Club..."
"May I ask if you want some magical animals?"
Dorothy and the other had just approached this club square and hadn't had time to land yet when a large group of people riding broomsticks surrounded the two, and then all kinds of flyers were desperately stuffed into their hands.
At this, Dorothy looked helplessly at the junior sister beside her who was beautiful enough to bubble.
The reason why they were directly blocked wasn't because Audrey was too beautiful? This thing was like carrying a searchlight wherever she went, and she was always the focus of attention. This led to the two being targeted by who knew how many people as soon as they appeared. Who wouldn't want to pull such an exquisite beauty back to their own club as a signboard girl?
If there were such a poster girl there, why worry about recruitment quotas? The freshmen would be howling and throwing themselves into the trap.
However...
The two were now surrounded and squeezed by the crowd until they were almost leaning against each other, and this junior sister, who was already severely socially anxious, had never seen such a formation. She was almost scared into a daze. She subconsciously grabbed Dorothy's clothes, and her whole person wanted to hide behind her.
Although the feeling of such a beautiful girl actively sticking to her was actually quite comfortable, even through the clothes, Dorothy's keen perception still allowed her to clearly feel the softness of the junior sister's body. It's just that the appearance of this beautiful girl shivering was indeed a bit pitiful.
Sigh, a miscalculation. She hadn't expected the club square to be such a ghost place. This was completely a social anxiety hell, okay?
Let alone Audrey, even she herself felt a bit panicked seeing so many people at this time.
But this was the time to show magical magic.
"Can't see me, uh, forget it, can't see us."
A low dragon roar came from Dorothy's mouth, and the mana of the dragon language wrapped around the two. The original witches who were frantically rushing to recruit because of Audrey's charm instantly lost sight of the two in their eyes.
"Uh, is this the Akari technique of the Forest Witch? So senior sister, you are also a fan of the Forest Witch?"
Dorothy had just finished casting the spell when she heard the puppet voice of the junior sister beside her.
It's just that, this time, even through the waveless metal synthesized voice, one could hear her excitement and agitation.
Hmm, it was like a crazy fan meeting a fellow fan. It was simply more intimate than seeing family.
This made Dorothy's mood complicated.
Good heavens, I couldn't tell that you, a socially anxious shut-in, were also my brainless fan.
Tsk, if you knew that I was the Forest Witch, that would be something. Wouldn't you be licking me?
Thinking of this junior sister who was like a troublemaker sticking to her every day, Dorothy shivered fiercely.
"Can't say I like her that much, just think her spells are indeed quite easy to use."
Dorothy nodded calmly on the surface and said so.
"Yes, yes, I like her super much."
The little fox on the side had her ears twitching excitedly, and the nine fluffy big tails behind her were also shaking like a dog's tail. Once this was mentioned, she seemed even more interested than in dolls, and her words suddenly became more.
At this, Dorothy's mood became even more complicated.
Tsk, although she had indeed wanted to find some common topics to pull closer the relationship between fellow apprentices before, she never expected that this common topic was actually herself.
"Mm-hmm, right, right..."
She began to perfunctorily echo this junior sister who had inexplicably started to get excited.
It's just that the socially anxious little fox obviously didn't have the high-end skill of observing words and colors. She didn't feel Dorothy's perfunctoriness at all and still controlled the puppet to blow about how powerful her idol, the Forest Witch, was.
This made Dorothy, a scummy witch who had always been narcissistic, feel her ears turning red.
Oh my god, what kind of execution program is this? My heart is so tired.
... The little witch is covering her face in shyness... ===== CHAPTER 65 =====
