The Novel's Extra's POV

Chapter 8: Clubs (2)

[Sunday]

*Beep~beep*

"Yea fuck, I'm getting up"

Only after I said that, did I realize I was yelling at an inanimate object. After getting over the embarrassment, I put on some casual clothes as today was the orientation for the traveling club. I checked my email for the details

[Traveling Club Announcement]

--- There will be a short trip on Sunday to serve as Freshman orientation. Gather at the portals at 8:00.

Checking the time, I saw that it was only 7, so I decided to go buy some food. Yes, for the first time since arriving in this world, I wouldn't get food from the cafeteria or make it myself, I would buy food. I felt proud just saying it. Before leaving the apartment I grabbed my training katana and computer in case I somehow got involved with an incident happening today. After buying a bagel, I arrived at the portal at around 7:45. Basically everyone was there except the main character.

'ironic ha'

I put in my earbuds and stood towards the edge of the group. I stood close enough to the group that outsiders would probably think I was involved and far enough, so other cadets wouldn't notice. Not to brag, but this was one of my superpowers in the real world. At 8, I glanced around and saw most of the main characters, including Hajin, were now there. Breaking the silence, the president announced with a smile

"Hello, I'm the club president. Oh Hanhun. I didn't believe it when I saw so many club applications, but... it's real. Who knew such amazing cadets would join my club."

As you can expect, later in this story, this guy gets tricked by his own girlfriend. Anyway, he just went on talking about the traveling club, which is exactly what it sounds like. You travel somewhere every 2-3 weeks. Continuing the president announced.

"Today, as part of the orientation, we'll take a short trip to Seoul, Usually we'll have a theme for each trip. Since today's meant to be an orientation, we'll just have a free trip without anything complicated. But instead of traveling alone, we'll split into groups of two"

As you can expect, this club's pairing system is the bane of my existence. I can already imagine it.

"Ew, why am I with him"

"Please, someone switch with me"

'Can we just travel? Why must we partake in pairing?' I thought

"Then, we'll start by drawing lots"

'Drawing lots, nice. Perfect for my 2/10 luck stat. At least I know I won't be with Yeonha or Nayun. Their partners are Hajin and Suho. I feel bad for them'

Djinns are humans who make contracts with devils in exchange for incredible power. Of course, this is looked down upon, but even so, there are millions of them in this world. Today, while in the museum, a djinn will appear and attack. Thankfully, Hajin, Suho, and Nayun will kill it, so I just have to stay away from that general area.

Yoo Yeonha decides to pick first and chooses Kim Hajin, who makes a face that says I want to die while Nayun picks Suho.

'Great no plot changes'

[Your terrible luck has applied]

While I was zoning out, I realized someone familiar was standing on the podium with a disgusted look on their face. The girl who called me ugly and so confidently stepped on the treadmill.

'No, please don't tell me'

My heart dropped and I genuinely thought I might cry. The other side had the same reaction. The girl reluctantly walked towards me.
