Chapter 232: Creating A Club(Fixed)
Emily and Lorriane nodded and heeded Lucian's arrangements.
Lucian brought the two of them to a restaurant inside the university.
After eating dinner, they returned to the square. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.
The sky was getting dark, and the lights on the square lit up, illuminating the surroundings.
The senior students' promotional booths had all been taken away. The freshmen stayed behind to wait for the orientation party to be held.
Soon, the university staff moved a few tables over and placed all kinds of iced drinks and beer on them.
The Dean of the Elemental Academy, Xuan Ya, came to the front of the podium.
"According to the university's management, a welcoming party will be held for the freshmen before they enter their academies."
"The party is a relaxed event. Everyone can take advantage of the opportunity to have more interaction. In the future, when you all devote yourselves to your busy cultivation life, there will be fewer opportunities for such exchanges."
"The university will provide its own entertainment, drinks, and food. Freshmen, please enjoy them…"
After saying that, Xuan Ya walked down from the podium and left the square.
She was a person of authority. If she stayed here, the freshmen would definitely be unable to let go and feel restrained.
Therefore, she left this place, leaving the freshmen here.
After Xuan Ya left, the freshmen all relaxed.
The speakers at the side were playing enjoyable, rhythmic music. The freshmen held their wine glasses and gathered in groups of three or five, chatting enthusiastically.
Lucian looked at Emily and Lorriane and said, "It seems that this orientation party is giving the freshmen a chance to relax."
Emily and Lorriane nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's relax and chat with them."
As Emily spoke, she joined the crowd.
The freshmen seemed to have held themselves back for a long time as they chatted livelily.
When Lucian listened carefully, he heard that most of them were complaining about how the seniors were bullying them.
Every freshman was very emotional when talking about this and was very vocal about it. Some thought of the injustice during the day and even started crying in resentment.
Emily had just joined the freshmen and became someone they could pour their hearts to.
"Those people are simply bastards. If there were any small problems with my mission, they would immediately refuse to reward me. They even said that it was to train me. They're really pissing me off!"
"That's still fine. I completed the mission according to the requirements perfectly, but there was still no reward. Those people are just finding excuses; they never intended for us to complete the mission properly in the first place!"
"Hah, those guys are just treating us like laborers." They think that we're new and easy to bully!"
"Sigh, there's no other way. No matter how extensively we are scammed, in the end, we still have to think of a way to join the clubs. Otherwise, how will we be able to survive in the university in the future?"
"Indeed, an unaffiliated person would be bullied by the seniors. Without the protection of a club, there isn't a chance that we wouldn't be bullied."
At that moment, a freshman suggested, "Why don't we find a dean and report them? This group of people is simply too much!"
"Hah, this situation wouldn't have happened if reporting were useful. Do you think no one reported from the previous batch of freshmen?"
"The teachers and leaders of Primordial Godslayer University don't care much about their students. They have many things to do and wouldn't have the time to worry about such unimportant things."
Hearing these words, everyone sighed. No one would ever stop cultivating in this world, or else others would catch up to them quickly.
Even the Dean of Primordial Godslayer University, who stood at the peak of strength, never said they were invincible and stopped cultivating.
Everyone was discouraged. The cheerful atmosphere at the start quickly disappeared.
The complaints of the freshmen were venting their negative emotions, so it was normal for the atmosphere to become heavy.
Lucian listened to their complaints silently.
Lucian also knew what the plight of the freshmen was.
However, he seemed to be able to think of a way to help the freshmen and himself.
At that moment, a staff member walked out and looked at the crowd. He said loudly, "Freshmen, the orientation party is almost over. Pick a representative of the freshmen to give a speech."
When the crowd heard this, they looked at each other. After a series of whispers, their gazes landed on Lucian.
"In this batch of new students, the most qualified to be a representative is definitely Lucian!"
"Brother Lucian deserves it. He can represent us!"
"Brother Yu's strength is unquestionable. He is definitely the pride of this batch of freshmen!"
"We only support Lucian. Only he can represent us!"
Zhao Kai exclaimed loudly. He was practically shouting at the top of his voice.
Everyone shouted excitedly. In their hearts, Lucian had become the one with the most importance.
Lucian did not say anything else and walked toward the podium.
Standing on the podium, Lucian looked at the crowd.
"I will say three things!"
"First is about today's club activity. Those students from previous batches were extremely unfriendly towards us freshmen!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lucian continued, "Secondly, we freshmen don't need to join the clubs formed by those people. We can totally form our own clubs. We can unite!"
"From today onwards, I will establish my own club. If you are interested in joining, you can look for me later."
Hearing this, the freshmen were excited. Of course, they didn't want to be subjected to unfair treatment by the older students, but they had no choice.
But now, Lucian said that he was forming a new club. That was the best opportunity for them!
When Lucian's decision was announced, everyone became excited.
The entire hall was filled with thunderous applause, and it never stopped.
...
Lucian's decision had practically saved them from their difficult situation!
"Brother Lucian, do you really want to form a club? Can we all join?"
Lucian replied, "Of course you can. You can join as long as you're willing to!"
"Brother Yu, we will have no complaints if you are the club's president."
"Haha, none of us freshmen will join any of the older students' clubs; that will surely piss them off!"
"If they can't get anyone, they'll definitely be anxious."
"Brother Yu, you're practically our savior. If you hadn't decided to create this club, we would definitely be slaved away at theirs."
"We support your decision!"
Emily looked at Lucian in surprise.
She did not expect Lucian would plan to create a club himself.
This kind of thing was not something that an ordinary person could do.
Any club would face intense competition. The clubs that could survive were not weak.
If Lucian created a club and recruited all the freshmen, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the older students, and all of them would target Lucian!
Emily was a little worried. What if the older students were to cause trouble for Lucian? His club would not be easy to establish then.
The surrounding freshmen were all cheering, and only Emily and Lorriane were worried about Lucian.
At that moment, Lucian smiled in relief after he saw that everyone was eager to join his club.
These students seemed fed up after being tormented by the older students.
It just so happened that he needed manpower. These two hundred or so freshmen should be able to find a hundred Golden Mist Birds in the wild forest, right?
However, Lucian felt that it would be even better if he could recruit some of the older students.
But it wouldn't be an easy task to settle the seniors.
A club founded by a new student definitely could not be compared to those old clubs that had existed for more than ten years. If there weren't any great attractions to his club, the older students wouldn't even consider joining Lucian's club.
"Since everyone is willing to join my club, then come here tomorrow morning and look for me to sign up. I will be waiting for all of you."
After Lucian finished speaking, the freshmen said in unison, "That's great! I want to join Lucian's club!"
"I must wake up early tomorrow and be the first to join!"
"The older students only know how to bully others. I will follow Brother Yu in the future!"
Lucian continued to look at the crowd and said, "Today's orientation party is almost done. I'll go back and make preparations first."
After saying that, Lucian walked down from the podium and returned to Emily and Lorriane's side.
"Let's go. It's time to go back."
Lucian said as he led the two of them through the crowd and arrived at the parking area.
When the other freshmen saw Lucian's back view, their hearts were incomparably excited.
They knew very well that the older clubs in the university were better than Lucian's, be it their strength, status, or resources.
However, they still believed that Lucian could create a powerful club!
