Chapter 42: Group Project (1)
For Stella Academy's high school students, it was mandatory to complete several hours of voluntary service.
There were some typical ways to fill this volunteer time, such as helping daily at the Magic Post Office or street cleaning, but many students did not like that kind of work.
That was probably because it was much more comfortable and helpful to their career to join a 'club' as a volunteer activity.
For the aristocrats, the main purpose of the clubs was 'social gatherings', and for the commoners, it became their golden chance to grasp a leg they could cling to.
The 'Skalben Club', where the nobles of the Skalben Empire gathered, could be considered to be focused on social gatherings.
That club, one of Stella's most elite, was customarily headed by the highest-ranking student regardless of age, so it was no suspense that the club leadership was handed over to Prince Jeremy Skalben despite the fact that he was a freshman.
Verazane Maria, a second-year girl who once served as the club's head, stood politely while bowing down to Crown Prince Jeremy.
Behind her were fifty students in the same stance.
In the middle of the 3500 square feet hall, a boy was sitting on an expensive sofa, worth tens of millions of credits, which made one wonder if it was really just a club room used by students.
Jeremy Skalben.
He stared blankly at the five-coloured chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
