The Extra's Survival
Chapter 58: Club

Julian after finishing her work was now heading towards her office.

Following her were three beautiful ladies whose beauty can even stand out in the crowd but still, their beautiful looks were overshadowed by Julian's beauty.

The three girls were in the same year as Julian.

Though one may think of them as Julian's friends but in truth, they were her future maids or servants who will become her private maids in future and will even accompany her throughout thier life.

For becoming princess maids, they were trained from an early age like the heir of the nobles and they even have to qualify in having good fighting skills and talents to accompany them. And for a Princess with a frightening ability like her, they have to try their best not to lag so much.

As they reached near Julian private office where only Student Council President is allowed to stay along with those who have her permission, Julian found Ami who was standing on side of the wall.

With her hands down, bending her knees slightly with her head bowing down she greeted Julian seeing her and said "Glory to her Royal Highness."

Julian raised her eyebrows and wanted to palm her face seeing Ami addressing her in the royal title as she has repeatedly asked her, to address her as a student when they were in the academy premises but she doesn't seem to change her habits easily.

Still, she cannot force herself as she is one of her most trusted people.

Giving a faint smile she nodded"Miss Ami you may rise."

Raising her head Miss Ami gave the brightest smile she had ever shown to anyone till now. She believed that she can only smile and let herself a little loose throwing her worries in the presence of the Princess.

"Miss Julian. I wanted to ask about what you wanted to do about that matter."

Julian expression didn't change a bit as she flashed back thinking about the time when she looked around a certain individual who was immersed in his thoughts while everyone eyes on her.

But when he looked at her amidst the crowd, it can be said to be her first time, seeing someone looking at her with such an indifferent gaze.

Her face flushed in the coldness as she ordered Ami"Give me every single detail about him. His background, his position, his everyday activities his strength. Don't miss a single detail."

" I don't want to ignore the possibility of having a mole under our noise of high calibre who can bite us. We have to take precautions from now. If I find him suspicious, it's better to eliminate him before he can grow."

Gulp

Ami swallowed her saliva seeing her cold and indifferent look.

"But Miss, if he had high talent and can be boon for our kingdom. Aren't, we crippling a future powerhouse."Ami spoke wanting to change Julian's view of him.

"Whether he is boon or bane, only time will tell. I have to observe and know him quite well before I can take any decision.".Julian spoke coldly.

Seeing Ami worried gaze, she assured her" Don't worry I won't take my decision hastily. If he seemed useful. I will make sure to reward him well."

"If that's all then you can leave now," saying this, Julian walked past Ami but after taking a few steps.

" And don't call me Miss. Just call me Julian next time. I don't want the hierarchy to be used in the academy," she said without turning back as she went on her track.

"Understood Julian" Ami raised her head after seeing her silhouette disappearing.

.....

Sitting on the chair in her office Ami opened the drawer of her table which contain a pic of three individuals.

As she looked at the pic, countless memories flashed right before her eyes as she looked at the pair of girls in the pic followed by mature women.

The mature woman was none other than her mother who was the princess nanny.

In the palace which is filled with cold-hearted peoples, where countless schemes and conspiracies take place, the princess was always alone. Not because she was not loved. Even if her father and all others love her, they can't take time off their time from thier busy schedule to accompany her.

The things small innocent Julian wanted the most were not toys not any materialistic things, rather it was the love and warmth of her parents. But the king can rarely meet her while the Empress doesn't even have time to see her due to her duties.

So it was from her nanny that she got the tender love of parents who loved and raised her like her own daughter.

Ami was 11 year's older than her and took care of her as her sister. But as she grew conscious of her position, she started to train hard as she was quite talented and wanted to prove herself to her parents.

Ami seeing her determination decided to become her head maid. But it was easier said than done.

She trained hard from her childhood to raise her strength as much as she can to accompany Princess on her life journey and share her burden. Once Princess graduates from the academies, she will take on the position of a head maid.

As you know the fate of the princess as they grow, they had to get married and she will have to do political marriage like all other princesses unless she can find someone, she loves truly who can shake the entire kingdom with his strength.

Within two decades of hard work, she had come from an unawakened to 8-Star warrior.

Her father was a royal knight under King who died bravely on the battlefield repelling the demons. Being born with platinum grade bloodline, her chances of reaching 9-Star was close to none unless luck favoured her.

Still, she was quite confident in shielding the princess until she can reach her stage. She already reached the 6-Star realm in just 18 years and within 3-4 years she may even surpass her.

Smiling bitterly, she put back the pic and closed the drawer.

She had been anxious to speak with her about the recent matter.

Ami knows her personality quite well from childhood. Growing in an imperial family has forced her to mature quite early among her peers.

Ami knew going, if going by her character, she tries to eliminate the weed before they dig their roots deeper and corrupt the other places if she found them guilty.

Though he hadn't done anything wrong and had already contributed to society even at an early age, one can't off this uneasiness feeling after the things that happened recently.

So she can pray for him that somehow the princess finds him quite pleasing to the eye and with this he may face less danger in his path if she can get her support.

After all, though the princess seemed cold she is quite soft and caring about the people under her.

....

Next day

Lucas and Roan walked in an open area near the training field where many stalls are placed where many students were trying to recruit others into their clubs.

Parchment plans of club details can be seen flying here and there. Some just take the parchment out of respect and threw them in the trash cans, while some folded them into paper planes and tossed them to see whose plans are better.

Seeing their childish behaviour, Lucas smiled as he remembered his middle school days where he also did the same things.

"Do you have any club in mind you want to join"?Roan voice snapped Lucas out of his thoughts and he looked at him with an expression asking have you thought about it.

Roan just shrugged his shoulders seeing his gaze.

" I have not thought about but I guess I can at least get into a club despite my poor performance, "Roan spoke casually.

As we looked at students trying desperately to recruit members to clear the quota for their club.

Every year many clubs are disengaged due to a lack of members. You can start your club in the second year.

For your club to officially start, you have to acquire at least five members.

The main fighting clubs exist from the beginning days of the academy and their presidentship are passed to each generation after generation.

Lucas aimed to get into one of these clubs. But the problem was his bronze bloodline. They generally don't accept bronze bloodline unless one can pass their challenge.

Still, even if Lucas failed to get in one of these clubs, he can look for the clubs in the hero support course as aside from main clubs their clubs were quite popular

A hero with a part-time occupation of an alchemist or blacksmithing is nothing to scoff off.

Alchemists and blacksmiths are always in high demand due to a shortage of weapons and potions.

After all,lower-ranked weapons generally last more or less for a month. Lucas smiled bitterly thinking about D ranked sword he got as his gift.

"Roan I think you should try to become a member of the mage club. I think it will be beneficial for your future development." Lucas advised Roan.

"Hmm," Roan thought about this matter rubbing his chin.

"I think so, with your silver bloodline. I don't think they will reject you. Also, you have grown quite strong within a month."Lucas spoke with sincere admiration.

" You have also upgraded your subclass class from a nerd to pervert," Lucas laughed teasing Roan who pouted hearing Lucas calling him a pervert.

'Honestly, he looked quite cute right now. Lucas thought.

Roan face became red in anger.

He pushed Lucas shoulder to the side.

Lucas smiling playfully gave him a slight push.

For Roan, the force of the push was too much to handle as he staggered on his feet and stumbled to a boy at the side since the path was quite crowded.
