Chapter 119 Club Establishment Request (Ch 119)

It was dark, damp, and the sound of running water filled my ears.

The moment Zhou Ke finished answering, a line of silver prompt text appeared in front of him.

[Advanced Trial] Content: [Where am I?] Completed.

Then, the hoarse and terrifying voice in my ear suddenly turned into a girl’s silver bell-like laughter:

“Your performance was perfect! It exceeded my expectations!”

“I’ll give you the reward you want!”

“Originally, the trial could have ended here…”

“But I really don’t want you to leave!”

“So, I unlocked the final [Ultimate Trial] for you!”

“Do you want to listen~?”

Zhou Ke lay at the bottom of the dark well and chuckled at the endless darkness:

“Maybe next time, Sister Sadako. It suddenly occurred to me that there is something more important to do in reality.”

He soaked his whole body in the cold well water and gradually lost consciousness.

……

The world was spinning.

The dark, cold and damp environment at the bottom of the well is gone.

The familiar school dormitory appeared before my eyes.

Zhou Ke stretched his body and found that he was a little different from before entering the trial.

Very different.

Originally, Zhou Ke was affected by the “blood curse”. He felt weak all over and his mind was foggy, as if he had a bad cold.

But now, although that feeling still exists vaguely, it has been greatly alleviated.

Zhou Ke suppressed his excitement and called out in a low voice:

“Prophet, are you asleep?”

[…I am not human, I cannot sleep.] The Prophet’s Head said quietly.

“It’s OK if I don’t sleep.” Zhou Ke said to himself:

“Help me check, how many days do I have left to live?”

The Prophet’s Skull was silent for a few seconds, then said softly:

You succeeded.

【That sage liked you very much. 】

[She gave you a life span of “seven days”.]

【You will not die tomorrow.】

【Good job.】

“Sprinkle some water.” Zhou Ke smiled.

【Can you tell me what you went through? I’m very curious. 】

[It is not easy to be appreciated by powerful sages. 】

Zhou Ke joked:

“Great beauty god, finally there is something you cannot see through.”

He explained:

“This sage is Sister Sadako. Although I didn’t meet her in person this time, I completed the task she assigned to me brilliantly.”

“I’m already familiar with Sadako’s trial mode.”

“What she wanted me to do was [reenactment], or in other words, [role-playing].”

“I want to perfectly simulate what should have happened in the scenario she provided me.”

Zhou Ke paused and continued:

“Of course, I did my homework well in advance and did a background check on Sadako.”

“And the content of this trial is [Where am I?].”

“Sadako was once betrayed by her own father and thrown into a well and drowned.”

“So, I also need to perform this effect during the trial.”

The Prophet’s Skull murmured:

[This trial method is quite interesting. ]

[It’s like revealing a secret past that no one knows about. ]

He seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then his tone was a little hesitant:

“I can clearly see that your life span has been extended to seven days.”

“But you haven’t gained her power yet.”

“Don’t forget, if you can’t obtain the supernatural power of this sage, you will be in the Elite Cup-“

“A disastrous defeat.”

Zhou Ke said calmly:

“I know that.”

“At the end of the trial, she replied that she would arrange a [Final Trial] for me.”

“But I didn’t agree right away.”

【Well, I can understand. 】

【After all, you have more important things to do. 】

Zhou Ke chuckled and took out his dagger.

He gently stroked the plum blossom pattern on it with his fingers and said softly:

“Yes. The Elite Cup is about to start.”

“Before that, I want to establish a—”

“My own club.”

……

the next day.

Zhou Ke went to the office to find Professor Chen Yun.

“Zhou Ke?” Chen Yun’s eyes widened: “Why did you leave the hospital? Your body…”

Zhou Ke explained: “Professor, I feel that my body is fine, maybe the blood curse doesn’t have much effect on me.”

Professor Chen Yun hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something.

Zhou Ke raised his hand:

“If I really don’t have much time left to live, I hope to live a wonderful life in the remaining time instead of lingering on in a hospital bed.”

“Professor, please treat me as an ordinary person, so that I will feel more comfortable.”

Hearing this, Professor Chen Yun closed his eyes and adjusted his expression.

Then he returned to his usual slightly mischievous personality and pinched Zhou Ke’s cheek:

“Don’t worry, if there’s anything you want, you can ask for it.”

Her tone became more relaxed, but Zhou Ke could still see a hint of worry in her eyes.

“Well…I really do want to ask you for something.” Zhou Ke said softly.

……

“Professors, this is what I’m asking for.”

In the office, Zhou Ke made a summary in front of many professors.

Several professors looked at each other.

One of the older professors said:

“This… our school hasn’t had such a precedent for a long time.”

“Director Chen Yun, what do you think?”

She put her hand on her chin, as if thinking:

“Logically, this kind of important matter requires consulting the principal.”

“But the principal never shows up…what can we do?”

“It’s very simple.” The speaker is Professor Yuan Xing:

“Follow the traditional rules.”

He turned to look at Zhou Ke:

“Let me confirm again, you want to set up a club that belongs exclusively to [Plum Blossom], is that right?”

Zhou Ke nodded politely:

“Yes.”

“After all, there are four suits of God cards, but the school only has three major clubs, corresponding to spades, hearts, and diamonds.”

“It was understandable in the past. After all, there were no students with plum blossom colors.”

“But this year is different.”

“This year, I enrolled in school.”

Zhou Ke spoke in a calm tone.

He was fully qualified to make such a request. After all, he was now the freshman king and the best student in the school.

It is not excessive for the school to set up a brand new club just for this genius with the God of Plum Blossoms card.

Professor Chen Yun hesitated for two seconds:

“Well… the reason is very convincing… So, Professor Yuan, what do you mean by “follow the rules”? “

Professor Yuan Xing spoke in a very clear and straightforward voice:

“Other students who want to join the club need to complete the entrance examination.”

“It’s the same when creating a club.”

Professor Chen Yun’s eyes lit up:

“Yes, that’s a good idea!”

Zhou Ke also replied:

“Well, I am also willing to participate in any form of assessment.”

This is more convenient.

If Zhou Ke could directly become the chairman of the new club, it would inevitably cause criticism from other students.

[Why can freshmen apply to set up a club on their own?] and so on.

By completing the assessment officially released by the school, such voices of opposition can be silenced.

Professor Chen Yun seemed to have thought of something again, and her excitement faded:

“But…what kind of test should we give you?”
