<h4>Chapter 63: Celebration</h4>
It didn''t take long for Shye to find the headquarters of the Order of the ck Sword since it stuck out like a sore thumb.
The building had the unique shape of a huge rock with a huge ck sword stabbed into the rock. However, although the shape was unique, the headquarters was very spacious.
Shye entered from the huge front door of the headquarters where two members who seemed to be on guard duty stopped him from entering.
"Yo, we haven''t seen you here before...Could it be?! You''re a spy?!"
"Oh?! Definitely a spy! What do you have to say for yourself huh?! Spy?!"
The two members who were guarding the entrance immediately used him of being a spy from another society so in just a few seconds, the two of them got whacked on the head.
"S-Senior Ren! Why did you whack us?! This guy is a sp–"
"This guy is not a spy, he''s Shye Crowley, our new top prospect from the warrior course."
Shye was bewildered, upon arriving, he was already used of being a spy by these two crazy upperssmen who were guarding the entrance.
Fortunately for him, Ren Beckmann arrived and exined that he wasn''t a spy. These two upperssmen seemed to have very peculiar personalities.
After hearing that he wasn''t a spy and that he was a new prospect, the attitude of the two guards immediately took a 180-degree turn.
"Oh?! The top prospect of this year''s warrior freshmen?! Then how did you manage to recruit him?"
"Hohh? Now that I look at him again, this guy seems to have a heroic aura! Definitely a fitting member of our society!"
Shye was confused, he couldn''t keep up with the thought processes of these two unique members. Just a second ago, he was used of being a spy but the next moment, they were already praising him.
"Aiihh...Sorry for these two idiots, Crowley. Although it''s very hard to have a proper conversation with these two, they''re good people."
Ren Beckmann said to Shye
"Ahh, No worries, Senior Xin dropped by my dormitory earlier and told me that you wanted to introduce me to the other members?"
Shye replied
"Oh, yes,e I shall introduce you to everyone who''s currently here."
Ren immediately led Shye towards what seemed to be a huge hall that resembled an adventurer guild.
Upon entering the huge hall, Shye was amazed.
There were some members drinking booze together at arge table, there was a counter with a prettydy behind it, and some members were looking at what seemed to be the quest board.
"Ohh...So they''ve replicated the ambiance of an adventurer''s guild huh?"
Shye muttered to himself.
The headquarters did look like an adventurer''s guild and it was a good training ground for students. They even have quests here albeit a little easierpared to the ones in a real adventurer''s guild.
While Shye was admiring the ce, Ren Beckmann suddenly spoke with a loud voice that got everyone''s attention.
"Yo! Everyone! Crowley is here!"
After hearing what Ren Beckmann said, all of the members who were currently in the huge hall excitedly looked towards Ren''s direction.
"Oh? Shye Crowley? The current 1st-ranked warrior student?!"
"Huh? Shye Crowley? Who''s that?"
"Hohoh! What a huge catch eh? Senior Ren!"
"BAHAHAHAHA! Senior Ren! So that''s why you were being secretive about the new members huh? You gave us a pleasant surprise!"
Amotion started after Ren Beckmann introduced Shye.
Most of the members already knew who he was but some of them didn''t so they curiously asked the person next to them about who Shye was.
After a few exnations, everyone felt excited.
This was the first time their society managed to recruit a 1st-ranked freshman so they had high hopes that Shye would be able to lead their society to greater heights three yearster.
Once they were done with the introductions, Ren smiled widely and announced that they should celebrate and the drinks would be provided by the society.
Everyone cheered wildly upon hearing that there would be a celebration and that the drinks were free.
"Crowley! Come! Let''s enjoy ourselves!"
One of the members immediately put his arms around Shye''s neck and pulled him towards therge table in the middle of the huge hall.
Ren smiled after seeing the warm scene and also joined the fun.
"Cheers to Crowley!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"

After celebrating for a few hours with the members who were present in the headquarters, Shye started to feel a sense of belonging to his society.
However, all good things muste to an end.
As much as everyone wanted to continue celebrating, they all had sses tomorrow so they couldn''t allow themselves to be too drunk, especially the third-year and fourth-year students.
As seniors, academy points were very important to them and a single day of being absent due to an irresponsible reason would cost them a huge amount of academy points so eventually, everyone said their goodbyes.
Just as Shye was about to leave, Senior Ren called out to him.
"Yo, Crowley. Come with me for a while."
