After walking for a while, Reve appeared at the entrance of the library. He entered the library and followed the directions he had obtained a while back.
Soon, Reve spotted a brown door just behind the array of shelves on the second floor. He pushed it open slowly, but what came next shocked him.
Instead of a quiet atmosphere at the other side of the door, he was met with a couple of students playing card games and shouting wildly with alcoholic bottles in their hands. There was no doubt. These youths were drunk.
They only spared one good look at him before they continued their crazy game, leaving Reve to wonder what the hell was going on.
He was a bit tempted to freeze this group of people but then he realized they were probably the same group he wanted to impress.
From the corners of his eyes, Reve spotted something else. There was a long chair beside the drunk group and seated awkwardly on that chair was another group of students. They didn't seem to mingle well with the drunk group.
These four students just sat, poised, watching as the other group had fun.
'Oh, now I'm sure that they are just like me. They want to join the club,' recognized Reve.
He also understood that that was the waiting chair and he should take his seat. Moving closer to the four students on the chair, Reve recognized two of them. They were the Drateel twins he saw about a week ago.
"Hi, my name is Reve," greeted Reve with a calm smile.
The male twin replied, "We know who you are."
After that, he shut his lips and maintained decorum. Instantly, Reve understood the message. The twins weren't friendly. It seemed he would have to find another angle to get to them.
Reve sighed, 'That is later. Right now, I need to pass the interview.'
One minute went by without anything happening, just Reve and co watching the club members.
Five minutes passed by
Ten minutes passed….
Twenty minutes….
Finally, after thirty minutes went by, the club member finished their games.
"Oh, Damian, why didn't you tell us we have guests?" shouted one of them, a girl.
The one named Damian responded, "Gele, I tried telling you but you were too absorbed in the game to hear me."
The other three just kept quiet as Damian and Gele bickered. They knew not to interfere with whatever was going on.
Not soon after, after Gele was exhausted from bickering, she picked up a document from a nearby table and looked at it.
Gele grinned, "Well, if this isn't something."
She mockingly looked at the group on the chair, "Who here is named Cecily?"
"I am," one of the applicants raised her hand.
Her face flushed as she predicted what Gele was about to say.
"You can take your leave," congratulated Gele.
"What?"
"I said you are free to go."
"Does it mean I have passed the interview?"
"No, it means you have been eliminated," giggled Gele.
Even in her drunken state, she still knew how to hurt someone with her word.
"Cecily Ardon. 20 years old. Aura master. Lv.50. Based on your records, you fail terms on a constant basis. I believe, right now, you are aiming for seven consecutive failures. Yeah…..we don't need people like you."
Cecily gritted her teeth, "I was of the belief that the Archaic Mystery Club doesn't care about one's academic excellence."
"Yeah, we don't. What we do care about is one's historic knowledge which I'm guessing is not one of your strong points," derided Gele.
"How can you so be so sure? Based on just reports?" shouted Cecily.
Gele sighed. She sat on a chair, crossed her legs, before continuing, "I admit, you do have a good point. Ok, one question. I will ask you one question and if you answer it, you are in. If you get it wrong, I want you out of our lounge."
"What is it?" asked Cecily.
"What was the race of the second demon lord?"
Cecily repeated the question out loud, "The race of the…."
Her mouth opened a few times but, ultimately, they couldn't find anything to say. It was crystal clear to the onlookers. She had no clue as to what the answer was.
Not wanting to face more embarrassment, Cecily humped her way out of the lounge.
Gele then focused on the remaining three applicants, "The question still remains. By the way, the interview has begun."
Before she could enjoy the sweet feeling of despair from the three applicants, the popular female twin gave out an answer, "The second demon lord was a female orc from Kyas"
Gele glinted her eyes as she faced Reve, "Okay. You, tell me, what do you know about the second demon lord?"
She waited earnestly for the famous demihuman to tremble before her.....
"Shel. Shel, the voracious one, was a female orc from Kyas. After acquiring the ancient skill [Gluttony] as well as the skill of demon lords [Black Star], she started her conquest in her homeland, easily defeating all the factions there. She was later stopped by the hero Klayden. Do you want me to go on?"
"Don't get smug. That's basic knowledge."
Reve's primal nature kicked-in in the face of that response, "No, it is not. Shel was known to be a terrifying demon lord. What the public doesn't know is that she was female and that she possessed [Gluttony]. They also do not know that she was from Kyas and didn't just randomly start her conquest on Kyas."
"You seem to know your stuff," nodded Gele.
She removed her focus on him and faced the male Drateel twin, "Next is you. What was King Bien of Garian's true love?"
The male twin took a while but he managed to answer, "His dog. Records show that he treasured the golden canine more than his family.. He named it Garian after the kingdom that he ruled and it followed him to every battle that he partook in, even his last battle."
