Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 7/Ch 64 - The Preliminaries Announcement

The hallways in the morning were more quiet than usual as Allen continued towards his classroom.

"After all, the preliminary rounds announcement is today," Allen said out loud to himself.

Most of the students were preparing for the assembly that would be taking place within the next hour. Whether that was eating breakfast first, getting some training in, or simply hanging around with friends, most of the students found their own time to wait.

Since they would be holding the assembly first thing today, classes would have a late start, so Allen didn't quite need to be at class yet, but there was something he wanted to get done.

"Let's just hope he's here," Allen took in a deep breath as he knocked on the classroom door.

"The doors unlocked. You may enter," Mr. Lyon's voice came from inside.

"Excuse me," Allen said, as he opened the door and walked in.

"Ah, Fleming. What brings you here?," Mr. Lyon asked, as he was sorting some documents on his desk.

Well, he's definitely a lot more organized than William and Ms. Florence, Allen thought to himself.

"Mr. Lyon, I had a quick question for you," Allen stated as he walked up to his desk.

"And I may have a quick answer for you," he said, looking up at him. "Something about classwork? Or perhaps a question on magic?"

"Neither," Allen answered, to Mr. Lyon's surprise. "I was wondering if you would be able to be our club sponsor for our Training Club"

"Ah, I have heard about your club," Mr. Lyon said, pondering in thought. "Ms. Clark is your temporary club sponsor, yes?"
"Right. Which is why I am asking if you would become our permanent one," Allen continued.

"Makes sense," Mr. Lyon nodded his head. "However, I have to unfortunately advise you that I am already a sponsor to another club"

"Can't you be a sponsor to multiple clubs?," Allen asked.

"I'd assume you would know the answer to that, given you are the club president of your club," Mr. Lyon raised an eyebrow. "Regardless, each teacher can only be a sponsor to one club, which means I cannot be your club sponsor, unfortunately"

"I see," Allen said, as he sighed. "No luck"

"I'm sorry Fleming. I guess you could try asking your previous teacher, Ms. Florence, but knowing her..."

"She could care less," Allen shrugged.

"Sounds like her," Mr. Lyon rolled his eyes. "Anyways, I advise you should start making your way to the assembly. They'll be starting soon"

"They're starting soon already?," Allen exclaimed, looking at the time. "Guess I will start heading out. I suppose I'll see you in class later?"
"Correct, after the assembly. Anything else you wanted to ask before you leave?"

"Nope, that was all for right now. Thanks Mr. Lyon"

"Of course. Just let me know if you need anything else," Mr. Lyon gave him a small smile as Allen made his leave.

Well, now it's time for the preliminary announcement assembly, Allen thought, as he left Mr. Lyon's room. Only a matter of time before I'll be in the real tournament.

By the time Allen arrived at the assembly room, all the other students were already shuffling in. He had to squeeze his way through so he could make it to where his friends were.

"Al!," Thomas waved, as he saw him from across the room. "We saved a seat for you!"

Thomas patted down the seat to the left of him, as Cecily was already sitting on his right.
