Aisha trembled nervously.

'Why is he suddenly asking about clubs...'

Though Theo had changed lately, she never expected him to take an interest in clubs.

After all, he used to mock the idea of dragons mingling with wyverns.

'Anyway...'

Asking her directly about her club activities probably meant he intended to join the same club.

His intentions were blatantly clear. He wanted to keep an eye on her, his biggest political rival.

Moreover, Theo belonged to a direct line of descendants with the middle name 'Lyn.'

Many in the family were displeased with Aisha's behind-the-scenes activities.

If Theo managed to graduate from the Hero Department, he would naturally become the head of the family.

'He's not an easy opponent.'

Goosebumps rose on Aisha's arm.

She even thought the tender care he showed her when they went to the eastern forest together might have been an act.

'Is he telling me to be careful?'

But Aisha was no fool either. She was a descendant of the hero family, possessing outstanding talent among her faction.

Eventually, she calmly gathered her thoughts.

'But on the other hand... I can closely monitor him too.'

Crisis often presents opportunity.

Just as the saying goes, "To catch a dragon, enter its lair," she was now trying to capture Theo...

With that in mind, Aisha replied.

"Clubs? Of course, I'm in a few. I'm involved in tactical strategies, fishing, and foodie exploration—a total of three clubs."

Theo nodded impassively, as usual.

"Isn't that difficult? Managing three clubs at once must be tough on your health."

"What do you take me for? I'm a proud member of the Waldeurk family. This is nothing for me. In fact, I'm the next president of all three clubs."

Aisha boasted as if a kitten was trying to imitate a tiger.

Theo's gaze sharpened.

"Then I'd like your help, Aisha. I want to join the three clubs you're involved in. Can you put in a word for me? It should be easier since you're the next president."

"Alright. There's actually a tactics and strategy club meeting after class today. Are you available?"

"Yes, let's meet after class. Thank you."

With that, Theo left the classroom to get lunch.

Aisha remained alone in the classroom and watched his retreating figure until it disappeared.

Then she slapped her cheeks.

'Don't be fooled by his kindness. Keep your wits about you!'

At 4:30 PM, all of today's lectures were over.

As usual, the students chattered noisily while packing their bags.

"Anyone up for a match? The loser buys dinner."

"Deal. I'm going to eat something expensive, alright?"

"Whatever. Say your goodbyes to your wallet now."

"Hey, we have a blind date with some students from the Magic Department today. Wanna join? Someone just canceled because of training. And Seria's coming too."
