Surviving in my Own Unpublished Failed Novel-Chapter 30 Banquet Of Obelisk (1)

After the 'room for questions' between the Student Council Representatives, even not being part of it, Freya Moon silently listened to their conversation while reading the "Booklet" exclusively given to the students that were on Student Council Office, after some time, the 'room for questions' between the Student Council Representatives came to finish, and Freya engraved on her mind the important questions, and answers she gathered.

1. Which has higher authority between the Student Council, and the Disciplinary Committee?

Answer:

Both has equal authority, just different responsibilities.

2. Who has the final say regarding the decision to-be made when it comes to conflict between two or more students?

Answer:

Both the Student Council President, and Disciplinary Committee President, and if either one is absent due to various reason, Vice-President of the Department will take the decision of ruling after considerations.

Freya only took note of the difference on authority between the two Departments, and mostly important questions had already been asked, that there's no room for Disciplinary Committee to conduct a 'room for questions' or Q&A.

"Alright, I hope you remember everything, and took note of important factors discussed, and please open your 'Booklet' on the future academic events section and check the 'Banquet of Obelisk'' that will be held next week. I know that everyone here came on their respective dormitories almost a month earlier after passing the entrance examination, but not everyone has made a friend of sorts, that's why the Obelisk Academy planned on conducting a banquet for first years. This will be announced on Friday, and based on the date on the Booklet, will be held next Tuesday. Any questions?"

Azalea Vermillion said with a smile on her face that could attract men just by looking at it.

A student from first year representative, Rumia Flora, raised her hand and asked, "Who will be the organizers of the banquet?"

Azalea smiled, and replied,

"That will be us your seniors, but only limited to the representatives of the Student Council and Disciplinary Committee, and the professors of first years."

"Th-that's too many…"

As Rumia said, every section of first year from A-1 to A-12 has 40 students each which totalled of 480 students, though the number was quite numerous, it's not unmanageable.

Azelea, seeing her reaction cleared something out to every student listening.

"Of course, everyone is going to be accommodated, remember where you are right now, and it's free of costs. By the way, it will be held on 'Obelisk Center Hall'."

"What? Obelisk Center Hall? Where's that?"

One of the first year student disciplinary member asked reflexively, other students also wondered about the place because it's their first time they heard such a place, even some seniors formed a confused expression, and shot a look of wonder about Azalea's words.

"Heh… my bad, it's a surprise, so just wait for the announcements on Friday. That would be all!"

Azalea, finding the student's reaction amusing replied mischievously, and closed the meeting with the permission of Arthur Wolfson.

Freya Moon frowned at the sight as if she didn't understand of the announcement delay.

Murmurs reverberated across the Student Council Office especially on first years as they prepared to leave.

Freya, tidying up her belongings, caught a glimpse of the first year student council representatives walked past her, and Amery.

She felt an indescribable aura that sent chills to her bone.

...

Early evening as the classes were over, in a room with a shabby interior, as if not caring to those who could see it, Russell Moon, slumped down on his bed thought about the classes that went today. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

'I'm stupid as fuck.'

He realized his stupidity regarding to this world's science, just like he thought of being a pro-gamer but didn't read the game's 'Terms and Conditions"

As a previous author who didn't manage to publish his novel thanks to a speed running supercar, he knew of the events that would unfold in the future.

'That's like being a pro-gamer…' he thought to himself, but the thorough details of such events were vague to him like the determining factors, and outside interference, 'that didn't review the Terms and Conditions'.

"When I thought about it, I know the details, but not thoroughly… and when it comes to 'Untouched Elements' like on the Hidden Dungeon I explored… Hahaha, What a mess! But it's good… at least for now."

His words scattered in his dorm room.

Russell Moon thought that his reincarnation in this world was not bad at all as he didn't have important connections in his previous life; no parents, a shut in trader with his computers as his friends.

'Though the reasons were unknown about my reincarnation, the Goddess of Night probably know, but it doesn't matter.'

He has a family in this world; a father, mother and a younger sister, the complete opposite of his previous life.

Russell slapped his cheeks with both of his hands to wake up from his state of mind.

'That's why it's hard to be alone for long, negative thoughts suddenly appear like they're welcome.'

Having a diagnosed social anxiety on his previous life, it felt like thinking about random things became a habit of his as a loner.

After coming to his senses, Russell thought of the future academic events and th0ught of the first to-be held academic event this year.

'Banquet of Obelisk… I'm not sure on the exact date, but it's within this month for sure.'

When he thought about the details he wrote about the 'Banquet of Obelisk', he frowned.

'Right, aside from knowing each other, it's obvious for scouting potential 'Players' among the first years, of course no one would dare to recruit those under the TOP 5 Guild, they'd be stupid as hell… Hahahahahaha! Shit, that would happen soon…'

He laughed within his mind as he thought of the event that would take place on the 'Banquet of Obelisk'

...

~Knock knock~

As his thoughts kept flooding in, he heard long knocks on his door, and got up from his bed to open it.

"Come in."

After he opened the door, he saw his younger sister Freya Moon, and invited her inside the room. Freya sat on the couch placed near the bed of his older brother.

"How was it?"

Russell asked, probably pertaining about the Student Council and Disciplinary Meeting he's told beforehand.

"It was great, aside from knowing each other, we received perks from being a member of the Disciplinary Committee or Student Council."

Russell who already knows of the perks, interestingly listened to her younger sister and asked.

"Coffee or tea, or water? By the way, what perks did you get?"

"Just water, we're going to have dinner soon."

After she got a glass of water from her older brother, and drank it, she told the perks she got as being a Disciplinary Member.

"We got something called 'Protection Mark', though we're not marked physically, it's more like we received certain rights, and it will be posted on the Obelisk Website soon…"

As she recounted everything that's happened, she asked her older brother if he had any idea about the "Obelisk Center Hall."

"I don't know where that is, but can't you just make a guess based on its name?"

Of course Russell knew where that place is, but pretended not to know and rather gave a clue to Freya based on the name of the venue, and after some time, being an intelligent girl, she understood the meaning behind her younger brother's word as her eyes widen in anticipation.

"You don't say!? Are you for real?" Freya blurted out her thoughts as if she couldn't believe that she had just realized.

'Even I wouldn't thought about it if I didn't know it firsthand', he thought.

"Hey, easy, I don't know okay, just wait for the announcement, on Friday right?"

After the siblings chattering for quite a period of time as the Sun gone down, and the night sky permeated their vision, Freya Moon called her older brother with a serious tone.

"Oppa…"

"On your birthday. Just wait on your birthday."

Russell Moon understood her younger sister's thoughts, she's probably going to pry about the increased on his overall strength, but he also understood that right now wasn't the right time for it.

"Okay…! Let's grab a dinner!" 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Freya Moon smiled at her older brother, not because he would tell her on her birthday few months from now, but because he understood her even though she didn't get to say everything on her mind.

...

Along the way to the usual cafeteria, Russell Moon and Freya Moon chatted as they saw Amelie Rose Merveil, and Amery Blight together as if lost. Freya called them out, and a happy face formed on Amelie's expression while the aloofness on Amery remained as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

"Hey! Freya, hmm. Russell right? We're looking for you guys, we should eat together!"

She happily said while Amery followed suit.

Russell wondered about the student Amery Blight, with her out of place aloofness, he also remembered the 'Goddess of Night' to look out for her even he didn't know the reason.

…

On the 'usual' Cafeteria

"By the way, Oppa, what's your elective class tomorrow?"

Russell Moon stopped eating his meal as he formed an embarrassed expression, but accepted that it couldn't be hide anymore.

'I got a few days off of embarrassment' he thought before telling her younger sister his second picked elective.

"That… G-O-S-T."

"G-O-S-T?"

Surprisingly, neither Freya nor Amelie muttered it in low voice, but the aloof Amery.

"Ohhhhhhh! You can talk!" Amelie Rose sarcastically made a remark.

"General Overall System Theories"

Freya who saw it last time on the lists of electives said in a manner as if reading something, and an 'Eh!?" reaction was drawn on the face of Amelie Rose.

Amelie whispered that the other three of them could hear…

"Isn't that…"

Before she could finished her sentence, Russell interjected on her behalf.

"Yes, for stupid people."

"Oppa!!"

Freya who didn't like her older brother ridiculing himself, shout at him in a way that could only be heard by them.

"It's okay, it's kind of… reality you know? Hahaha"

'Fucking hell. I wanna dug myself in the ground.'

Russell thought to himself as he felt the embarrassment for taking such elective.

'It's basically the basic terms and conditions that he hadn't review'
