Arcana Mob

"*Sneeze* Is someone talking about me?"

Without them knowing, Cade actually was in one of the private training rooms in the fitness center.

For today, his aim was to strengthen his body.

After all, he knew that in a real battle, the summoner was the weak point of summon-type Arcane Card, and he should at least be able to protect himself.

After finishing one set of training, Cade took a break.

He opened the water bottle in his hand and drank them directly.

" But really.. One rumor after another.. It seems that I really wouldn't be able to have a calm life here…"

Thinking back about the weird rumor surrounding the university, Cade really could only blame himself.

The time Elicia treated him a bit closer, he knew that rumor would soon come and surround him. After all, they must be treating him as Elicia's Henchman and one that should be got ridden of.

But it's not like any other choice.

From the beginning, he knew that his life here would be far from calm, and all he needed to do was to strengthen himself.

[ Spectre Dullahan the II ]

[ Rank: (III)/(IV) ]

[ Dullahans are headless, and wherever one stops, a mortal's death soon follows. A dullahan will stop its snorting horse before the door of a house and shout the name of the person about to die, drawing forth the soul at the call. He may also stop at the very spot where a person will die. After the second fusion, Spectre Dullahan had realized its ability to call other phantoms. ]

[ Special Skill: Erosion Flame, Sword Thrust, Phantom Call.]

" Well, that's enough break. Let's continue my physical training for a bit."

After that, Cade continued to do his training in the fitness center for another two hours before returning to the dorm to sleep.

. . . . . . .

Just like every other University, Orion University also has its research group.

Hmm? Sex research group like in the hentai?

Cade didn't really know whether it existed or not, and even if it existed, Cade wasn't sure whether he would really join that club.

For now, his focus was on the research group that was in front of him.

Before his transmigration, he would think that Orion University was actually a very nice place that was suitable to gather a harem.

But now reality hits him hard, and he really needs the luck of the protagonist or to get stronger as soon as possible if he wants to survive. Heck, even the first School Dungeon exploration might prove to be fatal if he was not strong enough.

The research groups were no different than college circles. Research group promotions happened in the second week after first-year came in.

There was a research group for pretty much any topic. There were hobby-like clubs like bowling, pool, and anime, while there were also academic research groups like studying, martial arts, and training.

As a transmigrator, Cade had the privilege to know which research groups each capture target would be joining.

And today, he decided to join one of the research groups that the protagonist and a few of the capture targets would be attending.

And coincidentally, it would also be a research group where Isabel was teaching.

To be honest, Elicia at first wanted to be in the same research group as Cade. But after listening to the rumor surrounding the two of them, Elicia began to realize that her decision to get close to Ray had started implicating him, and after saying sorry, she slowly took a distance between the two.

But it's not like they have truly severed their relationship. They had just changed from normal friends to text buddies.

Cade had realized that it was too late for him to stay low, so he decided to change his plan and get closer to the protagonist's group a bit. As chances, he would be able to gain some benefits from them later.

[ Leo-23]

When Cade entered, he saw many first years.

There were about 30, with 24 of them being boys. It couldn't be helped though. After all, it was an already popular research group.

Adding the fact that the beautiful and angelic Isabel was the teacher made the popularity of the club soar to the sky.

Yet, the reality was not often as beautiful. Cade fully knew that after a few weeks, the number of the first year would diminish to only about four or five.

Cade silently walked his way while observing the entirety of the classroom.

After sneaking a look around the clubroom, Cade turned towards the beautiful girl in the front.

' Alice Sapphire'

The third capture targets after Eva and Luna.

Different from the two of them, Alice Sapphire, or for short Alice-senpai is an upperclassman.

She has a tall and beautiful slim-figured girl with mid-back length dark hair; that she wears a red hairband with rose ornament and scarlet pupils. And even though she was slim, the part that needed to be developed well was well developed and adding her strict demeanor, she really looked like the princess of a vampire castle.

Glancing at Alice-senpai one more time, Cade proceeded to sit behind her.

Sitting behind her, Cade could smell a flowery scent from her hair.

After a while, Isabel finally showed up with a surprise behind her.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Isabel. Welcome to our research club, the Arcane Card evolution research club."

Following behind her was one of the reasons why Cade decided to join this research club.

The guest lecturer of the club, Professor Muna.

He was actually a decent professor, but after one day his daughter mysteriously died, he made a deal with the monsters and decided to be their spy.

Later, there was even an event where he would try to deal with Alice-Senpai, and this was the biggest reason why Cade decided to join.

To help Alice-Senpai and make good relations with her.

But what took Cade's attention the most was not professor Muna.

But rather, the two beautiful girl and the two other figures that were standing behind the two of them.

' She… what is she doing here? Should she really be in this research group…'

Surveying the classroom for a while, the girl's eyes finally met with Cade before her expression turned into a smile.

" Nice to meet you, everyone. My name is Luna Forewater from Cygnus-1. I hope we can be acquainted for the next few years!"

Obviously, it was none other than Luna. And behind her was the protagonist, Aurum and Eva.
