Let's Get into Some Club Activities
"We'll be starting club activities this week as it will be a part of our training in becoming more better associated with the human population".
"But sensei, do we have too?"
"Yep, and this activity is mandatory. So choose wisely of what club you would like to join and please keep in mind that you have until the end of the week to make your decision". Kodo-sensei then wrote some additional information on the board. "And please visit the photography club that I'm advisor for, OK!"
"What shameful plugging . . . ." as class was then excused for break.
~ Yokai Academy ~ (afternoon)
"So what club do you think we should join Kohta-kun?" Nyu asked as she pulled Kohta along by the hand.
The tanned youth rubbed his head nervously as he could literally feel the angry glares off some of the jealous male populace. But although this was fact that wasn't really what was making him feel awkward. "I'm . . . . not really sure . . . ."
"Hmm, what do you mean?"
"Well . . . . I've never really had much interest in extracurricular activities . . . . and . . . . I just never really thought about what club I should join".
Nyu looked to him slightly confused but then immediately turned back to her happy demeanor. "Then allow me to be your guide!"
Kohta blinked at this. " . . . . I have a feeling this is going to be a long day" and truthfully that was going to be the case.
~ Club Recruitment ~ (afternoon)
"Hey Nyu-san wouldn't you like to join our club?"
"OK, what is it?"
"We're the biology club. Wouldn't you like to join us?"
Kohta eyed them curiously as there were a lot of suspicious things sticking out at him. "That . . . . is simply not natural". Just looking at their current set-up, he seriously had to question what the biology club did. "Poisonous snakes, strange insects, unusual looking tools, animal parts . . . . wait! Is that a chainsaw?"
"What do you say Nyu-san? Wouldn't you like to join our club? We would love to have an interesting specimen like you to join us".
"Sure, I'd lo . . . ." but she could not finish as Kohta soon dragged her off. From the last statement, it was the final red flag.
But trying to be polite as possible, "I think we should keep looking"
Ten minutes later . . . .
"How about this club Kohta-kun?" then asked Nyu pointing to the spirit squad.
"Maybe the next one" at seeing how the pom-poms were alive.
Seven minutes later . . . .
"What about this sports club Kohta-kun?"
" . . . . Is that even a ball?"
Thirteen minutes later . . . .
"How about the chess club?"
". . . . I'm pretty sure dying isn't in our interest".
Two minutes later . . . .
"Can we try this club Kohta-kun?" as Nyu's eyes twinkled at seeing the anime/manga club
"How about we keep looking" at seeing the perverted stares his pink friend was getting from the group.
Half an hour later . . . .
Kohta sat winded on the bench as Nyu was still running around checking out all the booths. He then gave a long sigh. "Who would have thought club hunting could be such a task?" Just looking at most of the clubs they were not designed to be human friendly. But then what was he suppose to expect. This was a demon oriented school. For most of this stuff would be considered normal to them. So it was important that he went along with it or risk being exposed as a human.
"Kohta-kun! I think I found the club that we can both join!"
The tanned youth sighed again. "Sure, let's go take a look". However upon arrival he was pleasantly surprised to see the club his horned friend wanted to join. "This is the club you want us to be a part of?"
"Yeah! What do you think?"
Kohta scanned the surroundings to see nothing out of place. "Well it looks friendly enough", "Yeah sure OK Nyu-san. Let's join the gaming club".
"Well welcome to our fine club new applicants. Just get a try out and see if you like it. If you do like what you see, then please feel free to sign up with us".
Kohta, Nyu, and some other applicants soon entered the room to be astounded by what they saw. Unbelievably in the size of a normal classroom, the gaming club had every type of game imaginable ranging from the classics to the modern day electronics.
"Help yourself, play whatever game you like. But please keep in mind of the special event that will happen very soon".
Nyu then took Kohta to a nearby console. "Hey let's play this fighting game. I'm usually very good at it".
"Yeah sure" to which they chose their fighters and began to play. But after twelve straight rounds of getting his ass served he decided to cut his losses. "I think we should play another game" to which they then switched consoles and to another game. "Yeah Tetris, I know I can definitely do better in this one". But to his surprise, he got completely burned at it. "Uhh . . . . sports", but then he shouldn't have been too surprised at the results.
"That was refreshing" as Nyu was literally brimming with a happy aura.
Kohta sighed, "Ehh it could be worse".
The recruiter then stepped forward as the group then began to form around him. "Thank you all for your interest in this club. But as a final event we would like you to join in the final game which would prove to be the most entertaining".
"Cool, awesome".
"Wow, I've got to see this".
"I wonder what the game is".
But as Kohta watched a strange feeling began to grow over him.
"And trust me folks. This is a game you can die for". Then without warning everything went dark.
~ Unknown place ~ (unknown time)
"Nyu-san . . . ."
"Yes Kohta-kun?" said Nyu slightly weary and a bit afraid.
"You know when I said that it could be worse . . . ."
"Yeah . . . ."
"It just got worse". As Kohta looked around it was obvious they weren't even in school anymore as they seemed to have been locked within a ruined bathroom of sorts. Furthermore his leg was chained to a pole on one side of the room while Nyu was chained on the other side. After taking in all this information, his face couldn't help but sag. "I better not see a T.V. screen light up with a stupid doll on it saying . . . ."
"Hello, I want to play a game".
The tanned youth sighed at this. "They just had to do it didn't they".
"Umm excuse me Mr. doll-san, but we need to get back to class now. Do you think you can let us go?" The ditzy girl asked.
"Nyu-san that thing is only a video. They aren't going to hear us".
She then stuck out her tongue as she knocked herself on the head. "I know, but I wanted to ask anyways".
"The game is simple. Seek the truth within the light that can only be seen in the dark. You have thirty minutes to figure this out. Live or die make your choice" to which the T.V. then shorted out.
"Are we going to be OK Kohta-kun?"
The tanned youth simply smiled. "We'll be fine Nyu-san. All we have to do is figure out these puzzles and we'll be fine".
Nyu then looked slightly afraid. "But I'm really bad at puzzle games".
"Then thank goodness I'm here" as he reassured his pink friend. He then turned off the lights revealing a glowing 'X' leading to the next clue.
"How did you know that would be there?" Nyu asked very impressed.
"It wasn't that hard. The riddle already had an obvious answer as the answer was the question itself. Plus the fact the gaming club is being completely unoriginal by using direct scenes from a very strange American horror film". He then yanked his chain which easily broke with a good pull. "Plus these chains are either cheap plastic or aluminum. They probably didn't have much of a budget for them anyways. So let's get going then shall we?"
". . . .Oh, well OK".
Just like that Kohta easily conquered each room as he wondered closer and closer to the exit. Even though there were a few new rooms and tricks, they were rather easy to solve for the tanned youth. Along the way, Kohta and Nyu rescued some other players as they were having trouble with their death trap puzzles. Eventually they arrived to the supposed last room where they faced the last game.
"If we get out of this alive, remind me to report this club to the principal's office".
"Agreed" nodded Nyu.
A T.V. in the room then came alive as the recruiter of the gaming club appeared. "Interesting, you are definitely the first group who has ever made it this far since every year we've played this game".
An angry expression then appeared on Kohta. "This game is rather sick. What right do you have to play with our lives like this?"
"Yeah, let us out right now!"
"Where's the exit?"
"I'm so going to kill that guy when we get out of here".
"OK OK I get it, if you really want out then here is the last riddle. Solve it then you all of you will be awarded your freedom".
"Just tell us the dam question already!"
"Come on, hurry up!"
Kohta eyed the monitor carefully as he awaited whatever the question maybe.
"Simply . . . . find the exit" and with that the monitor shut off.
"Wait that can't be it! There has to be more!"
"Where is the rest of the question?"
"Let us out!"
With that panic began to spread amongst them like wild fire as everyone began banging against the walls and ceiling attempting to break their way out. Meanwhile Kohta stood as calmly as possible as Nyu stood by his side showing a rather worried expression.
"Kohta-kun, are we going to be OK?"
"Yes Nyu-san, but I need to solve this quickly or else things are soon going to become violent in here". He then scanned the room to the best of his ability. "But there has to be something here that I'm missing. Something that will tell us the way out". Simply, there was no way they could have transported so many people to this kind of facility without anyone noticing. Looking at the room as it was, there had to be a trick to it to how any of them even got there. In the corner of his eye something caught his attention. ". . . . What is that?"
~ Yokai Academy ~
The recruiter along with his group began to laugh as they reviewed some of the clips they recorded from the games they set up.
"I can't believe how stupid that guy was".
"I think we should revise this puzzle, they got out of it way too easily".
"Hey, what do you think we should do next year?"
The recruiter enjoyed his sadistic fun as he had these people running around his game like rats in a maze. "But it was a close one this year. No one has ever even gotten this close in reaching the last room".
"Yeah, but good thing it's rigged so that they wouldn't get out".
"If they did that would ruin all our fun not to mention the trouble we would have to deal with later".
The recruiter smirked at this. "Anyways let's take a look where they are at now".
Some of the group members chuckled at this. "Hell, if we're lucky they might have started killing each other by now". But in using the shikigami that has been monitoring the game, they were surprised by what they saw. "What going on here? Where the hell is everyone?" In a slight panic every member began switching through every shikigami monitor to locate where everyone was. But after searching every single room it was official. "Where are they?"
But if they weren't too busy panicking they would have noticed the faint light that began to materialize behind them.
"Turn yourselves in, and your punishment will be light".
The gaming club then turned to see as all the participants were now standing behind them.
"What? How could you have escaped?"
Nyu then stepped forward. "There was no way you could have transported us all without anyone noticing, and without seeing any form of a door then the only way in and out was through teleportation magic. So the trick was just finding it and using it to send us back".
The group then began to ascend forward with malicious intent.
"You guys are so going to pay for sticking us there".
"Let's get them".
"Got any final requests?"
Although their intentions were clear, the gaming club did not look the least bit scared. The recruiter then stepped forward to face them. "I think you are all under the wrong impression. This is still our game, and none of you are going to be walking out of here in one piece". On that statement, the entire gaming club began to mutate into their respective monster forms as the participants then engaged them. This then left Nyu and Kohta to face off against the recruiter. "You're a very curious pair there is no possible way you people could have returned back to school".
"Come quietly" said Kohta. "You still have time to turn yourselves in".
The recruiter then chuckled. "You honestly think I would willingly give up my fun like that? If so, then you are dreadfully mistaken". He then too began to mutate as black wings began to sprout, his body started to appear heavier, and his nose began to grow longer.
"What is he?"
"He's a Tengu!" exclaimed Nyu. "They're a mystical type monster with a high degree and understanding of magic and spirits. He's not an opponent to take lightly".
"You made a big mistake in challenging me" said the recruiter. "You should have died quietly in the maze. But now you will die excruciatingly against my dark arts".
"Kohta-kun, you have to release me. If I become the other me then I can take him".
Without hesitation, he touched her bracelet which shined its eerily green glow showing that 'she' was now free.
As her horns appeared, Lucy stared her opponent down as her vectors hanged around her in defensive position. "It is you who is mistaken. Let us see if your strength really matches your words".
The Tengu simply smirked at this as his aura began to flare up.
Noting this, Lucy prepared herself as she could sense the strange fluctuation in his energy. "What is he up too? He's seems too sure of himself to be bluffing about his strength". But then out of nowhere, she was forced to the ground as she had to hold her side in slight pain. "What was that? Whatever it was, it hit my vector wall pretty hard. If I didn't block it then whatever it was could've really hurt me". She then quickly got up as she refocused herself. "I was certain he didn't do anything. What is his secret?"
But without further time to analyze, Lucy was struck again by the unknown force and again and again.
Luckily, her vectors absorbed most of the attacks but not without receiving a little damage each time she was hit.
Lucy cringed as she was both growing agitated and slightly panicked as time went on. "At this rate, the damage is going to stack on top of each other. I have to end this!"
The recruiter was enjoying his sadistic game as he struck her time and time again. But finally growing bored he decided to go in for the kill. "You're mine!"
The horned girl prepared herself to receive whatever attack it maybe.
"Duck!" Without even thinking about it, she bent her knees. "To the right!" to which Lucy reacted too. "Roll forward, now!"
Lucy then looked back to Kohta curiously. "Can he actually see what's attacking me?"
The recruiter displayed shock at this discovery. "Impossible! No one should be able to see my evil spirits! Even the strongest of mediums can't even detect them!"
However contrary to all this, Kohta could see them as clear as day as the specters had Lucy surrounded. "To your six, hit back!"
Doing as she was advised, her vector hit something as it appeared to dissipate the next moment she cut it. "Where is it coming next?"
"To your left, now to your right, go forward". At this time Kohta strained his eyes to keep his focus on the apparitions attacking his pink friend. Although he was curious to how she couldn't see them, that was the least of his concerns as he wanted to do all he could to help Lucy. "Full three-sixty, now!"
The pink diclonius then swung her vector slicing up the spirits that surrounded her. She then stepped forward as her opponent stepped back. "It's about time I finished this".
"Wah . . . . Wait, can we talk about this?"
" . . . . no" and with that Lucy ended the battle with the Tengu as she imprinted his face into the ground. Following after that was clean up as the pair assisted with taking care of the rest of the gaming club. With that came the end of one long day.
~ Yokai Academy ~ (one week later)
Affairs quickly quieted down after word of what the gaming club has been up too got out. Although it was one of the biggest news spreading around the school, it quickly came to an end just as quickly as it came. But what exactly was he supposed to expect? He didn't understand what was considered normal for monsters. So should he really have expected much out of them like a sympathy or care? But Looking at the smiling face of his pink friend, he'd like to think monsters were not as bad as humans had portrayed them to be.
"A lot of interesting things happened during club recruitment, don't you think Kohta-kun" smiled Nyu.
"I suppose, but I didn't expect so much craziness to ensue in just one short week. I mean some of the clubs were just straight up crazy. Hell, the swimming club tried to eat all their new applicants".
"I guess that's true . . . ." The horned girl then looked away before looking back with curiosity. "Kohta-kun . . . . How did you get us out of that maze? Also the other me . . . . was wondering how you were able to see those evil spirits when she could not".
"What are you talking about?" as Kohta's eyebrow perched at the peculiar question. "The magic seal was clearly written on the wall . . . . hmm, although it was a bit small to see. And I just thought those spirits were just being too fast and too numerous for Lucy-san to do anything about".
Nyu blinked a few times as this. She then gave a strained chuckle before smiling. "Of course, that was the case". Kohta simply smiled at this as he proceeded ahead. But as he walked away, Nyu looked to him even more curious then before about her tanned friend. In the maze, a magic seal of that caliber can only be seen and used by the originator and without the algorithmic access key they should not have been able to activate the circle. Furthermore when Lucy read the Tengu's thoughts during their fight, the specters were not supposed to be detectable even to the strongest of spiritual mediums let alone a normal human boy. So that then left one thought in the horned girls mind, "Kohta-kun . . . . are you really human?" But seeing what kind of situation he was in, what reason did he have to lie about it?
"Nyu-san, are you coming?"
The ditzy girl shook her head slightly as she soon ran up to him. "Yes, I'm coming". At the moment it didn't really matter what Kohta was to her as her friendship with him meant more than such trivial things. However by some level of intuition some part of her knew that if she ever discovered the truth about Kohta, that was when things were going to change.
Soon after, the pair both arrived back to class where they met up with their homeroom teacher to report their progress.
"We're sorry sensei, we were not able to join any clubs" explained Kohta.
"Plus all of them were filled up. I hope this doesn't mean we failed this part of the curriculum" then said Nyu as she twiddled her fingers.
The fox like teacher simply smiled at this. "It's OK it happens. But if that is the case, then I have the perfect club for you".
"Club?" they both asked in unison.
"Yep, so welcome to the photography club as you will be the only applicants this year!"
The pair chuckled at this. "Well I guess it doesn't seem so bad".
"But sensei, what will we do exactly in this club?" asked Nyu.
"Simply just go out into the world and take pictures of all the beauty you see around you. Plus since I owe a favor to Nekonome-sensei from class A, we'll also assist the newspaper club in any photography work they need for their paper. So please work hard as I suspect this is going to be a busy year for everyone".
To be continued . . . .
