Classmancers - A MOBA Esport Story

Vol.6 Ch.7: New Beginning

The new school year began. Yuel and Lars were about to begin from scratch in their new school, Skyline Junior High. Unfortunately, they didn't make it into the same class. This was probably a result of their last-moment transfer.

"You're new here?" Some students showed interest in the unfamiliar alien. They all seemed to know each other from the previous year., so Yuel stuck like a sore thumb.

"Yeah, I just transferred," Yuel answered without adding much. He wasn't interested in sharing his story with people he just met. They asked a few more questions, but he answered as briefly and as concisely as he could to kill any further questions. Before long, everybody lost interest and went on with their businesses.

The first day started with homeroom, followed by an opening ceremony. The homeroom teacher informed that clubs will start reciting members next week, so there was no way to apply to the Classmancers club yet.

"Dude, wanna check out the club?" Lars suggested.

"I wonder if anybody is going be there today," Yuel said. "But, at least we can learn where the clubroom is."

"Okay, let's go explore!"

They walked around the school and asked teachers and students, but...

"Classmancers? What's that?"

"Do we really have a club like that?"

It was useless. The question only surprised people and made them respond with questions of their own.

"Dude," Lars made a face. "You sure this school even got a club?"

"Yes," Yuel frowned. "At least, it's supposed to."

They went over every floor of the school building, but they couldn't find anything that even remotely resembled the Classmancers clubroom. None of the people they met along the way was helpful either. It's possible the club was behind one of the closed rooms they ran into, but all these rooms had proper labels and none of them sounded related to Classmancers.

There's no way the school decided to disband the club on a whim, right? Even the school secretary wasn't sure where this specific club was located. Just how unknown could this club possibly be?

Then again, a club with just nine members was bound to be relatively unknown. At the very least, the secretary confirmed that the club still existed on the list of this year's clubs. That's a relief.

But, where was this clubroom located? Yuel and Lars searched pretty much the entire school, yet they couldn't find anything. So, it seemed unlikely they'll find anything today... or, so they thought.

"Why hello there," A boy popped up in front of them out of nowhere. He was holding a tablet and a digital pen as he spoke to them. "A little bird told me you're looking for the Mancers club."

"Whoa!" Lars jumped. "How did ya know, dude?"

"There's nothing I don't know," The boy smiled confidently as he tapped on his tablet. "I'm an ESP. My special power is to absorb all the information that's floating around in the world! I call it: Information Blackhole!"

"Oh!" Lars nodded in excitement for some reason. "That's sick, dude!"

More like, sick in the head. Yuel shook his head. What did "Information Blackhole" even suppose to mean? Did this guy claim he sucked all information into himself like a black hole? In that case, the information should be gone forever and never return. Wait, why am I even seriously thinking about this?

"You just heard us talking to the secretary," Yuel retorted. "Pretty sure I saw you waiting in line for her."

"Yes, that's exactly right," The weirdo admitted the truth. "It was the power of my Information Blackhole!"
