The sound of footsteps echoed as they made their way across the floor, following the bell-like sound of the conventional alarm, signaling the start of the morning to enliven the entire lobby. Not only the students, but the teachers also promptly concluded their activities. However, precisely at one o'clock in the afternoon, students spent more time in clubs until six in the evening. It was as if providing a limitless canvas and oil paint every day, they embraced a modern system where students were free to paint their achievements through various clubs, ranging from the common to the eccentric.

Faith Providence High School, not only vast in its grounds or situated on broad streets, but also in the breadth of creative freedom it offers. A private school bearing the logo of a jellyfish, symbolizing an entity that appears weak but is actually strong. Faith is not only interpreted as faith in divinity but also strongly supports the belief of individuals. And Providence serves as evidence to the general public that this school has at least one trophy in each of its clubs, without exception. It is not only appealing to prospective students but also has the potential to attract investors.

Although the building only has two levels, they are arranged in a box-like fashion, resembling a surrounding wall guarding the vast land. There are over thirty club rooms, with the most famous being the archery, fencing, and basketball clubs. The spaces are spacious enough and equipped with seating for spectators. The rest of the rooms resemble classrooms or student council rooms. However, they have distinctive features, such as being adorned with various mystical photos, writings resembling pagan rituals or ghost orbs—a club dedicated to supernatural research.

As a less prominent public club, two trophy shelves positioned behind the club president's desk are sufficient for them to puff their chests out when guests arrive. Out of the twenty-five trophies, five of them are international championships.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9AKRkZmH9
Right next to the shelf on the left, a girl stood upright, holding several sheets of paper.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm1x2CVEMh
"Um-um, I'll take attendance!" the girl's voice sounded nervous and hesitant.

All the names called during attendance were marked with checkmarks. The girl who took attendance finally allowed her friend to convey the meeting's agenda.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GXr8ut211
"Finally, this is what you all have been waiting for," said the calm-looking woman, her expression holding back her enthusiasm.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvXO2t2n2E
Three plush blue sofas, left, center, and right, formed a square with a table in the middle. Two women sat on the right sofa, smiling. Meanwhile, two men sitting on the same sofa remained silent but harbored suspicion.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkHj4CjGEU
"Pool Park Asylum, the perfect place for our next ghost hunting expedition. I have obtained some information, guys!" she turned to her right, indicating the girl who took attendance earlier, as if requesting some papers she brought with her. "Gracie O. Llawndrist, one of the patients at Pool Park Asylum, was a victim of rape, both before and during her time at the mental hospital. Rumor has it that Gracie's spirit is restless and roams the place. Her cries and screams disturb visitors and drive them mad. What do you guys think?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tYQwIrH0G
Joyful and excited voices emerged from the sofa facing the club president's table.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm88sJqWMd
"Whoa, isn't she a malevolent spirit, Miss Purcell? I can't wait to see how she manifests herself!" Her body trembled as if the woman with short, thick bobbed hair couldn't contain her excitement.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q9aO82qpJ
"Hey, hey, oh my goodness! This is not a game, you know!" replied the man with a top knot hairstyle, fading with concern. "I hope we'll be okay because that place is considered one of the most haunted in Wales!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGnO5o3aDa
"Don't worry, Bevans! It's all well organized by this lady here, hehe!" she replied, patting her companion's shoulder, who sat beside her.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHsdgpLeNZ
"Stop it, Morgaine! You're being disrespectful to our senior!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyc1k76Q6f
The woman with stylish short brown hair on the right side of the man called Bevans also seemed displeased but for different reasons.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDYUbHY6Dt
"Hm... if I'm not mistaken, the surroundings are used for deer hunting, right? So, there must be many wild animals too," she continued seriously, holding her chin. "I'm worried if there are coyotes around."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjySgxsrLAi
"Yes, but according to the picture sent by Hedlych in the group yesterday, the place looks promising. It's possible that our EMF detector is reacting very well, Luned," said the woman with straight hair resembling the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, who was busy staring at her phone while adjusting her lipstick.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIDMp1kWxv
"Honey, don't dress up for the meeting!" The well-groomed man with glasses quietly commanded through the queen Cleopatra's ear.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWqCq4lgV
"Stop it, Cadell!" she replied in a spontaneous tone, but she put away her cosmetics again.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrJD67BaSB
The room then fell into a silent dilemma. But someone raised their hand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgmJX6VCKL
"Um, is it another group visit this time, Senior Purcell?" she said, resting her chin on her clasped hands and mumbling.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrRXCePYSi
"We won't have a group visit for two reasons. First, based on the pictures we sent, it looks ordinary. But this time, the Pool Park Asylum is truly vast and magnificent. Hedlych and I have observed it, and as Eiriol mentioned, there is a potential presence of Coyote. The surrounding area resembles a forest with dense vegetation. I even thought we might need extra anti-itch lotion. So I thought it would be safer if all 12 of us stayed together as a group. Second..."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkyY9vDqUo
She stood up from her chair. "Let's consider this an official inauguration and farewell as third-year students. We have undertaken numerous paranormal journeys, from ancient palaces to former noble houses. You have all experienced the chills at Sker House and Coch Castle, right?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG1V9vEhpT
They nodded confidently.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x1sXZaev1
"For that reason, we have received several local awards and the international Owl Seeing Ghost Award for our presentation and authentic documentation of footage and spirit box recordings, hosted by Germany. Applause to all of you!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Xw0qk8Gf
The room stood up and applauded enthusiastically, proud as they looked at the owl trophy on Purcell's desk.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBavsGtC7V
"Thank you, but..." The applause gradually subsided as they sat back down. "However, the supernatural research club cannot stop at this point, it must continue to evolve. This place is different from the haunted house in Coychurch Estate that you visited two weeks ago. From the videos you sent... Uh... glasses breaking, doors slamming loudly, well, Rhiannon even screamed hysterically. Are you sure you want to join this visit, Rhian? Are you feeling better now?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YNjuHVKHl
"Y-yes, I'm sure, Senior Purcell," the woman replied somewhat petulantly and unconvincingly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLOIBT68iH
"If you're scared, come closer to me, my dear Natasha!" Bevans, the man with an alluring smile and raised eyebrows, enticed her, appearing like a gentle man.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksJLtMr1Pn
Natasha Rhianon put on a playful and flirtatious smile, causing misunderstandings to arise.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKUqG3yqNk
But soon, the smile turned into a sigh. Eiriol's left arm immediately pinched without mercy. Her face remained flat and calm, but her mouth seemed to mutter and growl. Bevans was now in pain, begging for mercy. The pinch gradually subsided, but the disappointment left Luned Eiriol irritated, causing her to sit in the club chair, Purcell.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ChjeTv5T
"L-Luney, my love!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcNKqttow6
Luned's face looked at Purcell, urging him to continue the meeting, ignoring Bevans.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbK1LLkg45
As if rubbing salt on Bevans' wound, the black man with dreadlocked reggae hair began to hum, accompanied by a few seconds of hip-hop music from his phone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ0wnK8a2c
"Yow, yow~ I'm a strong and tough man~ winning here and there, they're like paper~ but be careful~ It's a teenage pubescent fight~ Cikew~"

"LD, please," Hargest Pritchett, a man with flowing brown hair pulled back, furrowed his brow at his friend.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK09iOkkTFw
Someone voiced their opinion, seemingly disregarding the bit of comedy earlier.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYjbTxTK9d
"I think it's better to have two vans and one regular car. Some of us can be transported in one of the vans, accommodating four people, while the rest of the equipment can go in the car. What do you think, Morvud? Morgaine?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUBwoUb2aD
"Well..." Pritchett raised his voice.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMkwTXzMVA
"Yow~ yow~ Danog a Medusa with aspira-" LD's playful lyrics were cut off before a quarter of it was completed.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1MFHsTuzK
"Quiet, Dominic!" Pritchett added. "Maybe Senior Purcell has a suggestion?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnLgYBQPWm
Medusa, a special nickname for Shauna Danog due to her imagined snake-like hair, given by Luca Dominic. Initially somewhat bothered, but over time, it became fitting, and Danog admitted it wasn't too bad. Moreover, the special nickname emphasized her as a unique character, she thought.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHenwOPyvOb
The calm girl with shoulder-length hair sat back down, brushing her bangs to the side.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRddb74sxhn
"To be honest... that was part of our initial plan, Danog. But the problem is, besides our Cleopatra queen, Bierce, who else has a van?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCMj0NXbGJ
Pritchett, the calm and serious man, raised his hand before speaking.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX3hD6pm6K
"I actually have a connection. But I'm not sure about the condition of his old van. I don't know how much it would cost to fix, but if it's possible, it would be better."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwzJnBs1zi
"That's good, that can be an option. Any other suggestions?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Igu2a4Md
Several people closed their eyes calmly, but everyone remained silent.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPe3leKVbQ
"Maybe we should hear Pritchett's explanation first,"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aK7cbe9wn
Pritchett explained that his uncle, Welsh Pritchett, owns a 2017 Mercedes Benz van, a camper type that can be used for camping. The van is well-maintained but a bit dusty from sitting in the garage for too long. However, he couldn't be sure what made it difficult to start. According to Pritchett, his uncle mentioned that if it's not the alternator, then it could be an issue with the battery.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNszeCbhbOp
"Um... do you know roughly how much it would cost to fix?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c78lrwkNL
Light reflected off his glasses, as if the reflection hid his eyes.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprNd5jbiRS
"No problem, I've checked. For the Mercedes Benz 2017 battery, it's around 280 to 300 pounds. Well, for the alternator, it's a bit..."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGdVmKXw1i
All the meeting participants impatiently waited, like a soap opera that hadn't started because of commercials.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEju3tukMtD
"Approximately a thousand pounds."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICKvtzUQQn
"NO WAY!" everyone spontaneously responded in unison.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmSDJwhDk3
Everyone discussed again. Hedlych shared printed rental price information, which turned out to be expensive as well. It felt like they were being overwhelmed by an impending storm without rain, leaving them stuck in the middle of the conversation. Fortunately, a consensus was reached after an hour and a half.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm6gsQ6zPs
"A rental costing around 150 pounds per day would be more effective if the issue with Pritchett's uncle's van is the alternator. But it would be much more effective and efficient if it's the battery. Moreover, it could serve as an investment for at least one or two years as the club progresses. However, regardless of the outcome, even if it's as soon as next Saturday, our departure will still be next week, either on the 11th (Saturday) or the 12th (Sunday). As per the previous senior's rule, mental preparedness and equipment are crucial, without any rush. Any additions or questions that need clarification?"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVmrGV3bHS
Purcell glanced at everyone, seeing no objections or additions.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO5vxEQSqp
"Good, that means we agree. The meeting place and departure time will be announced later. Please keep your phone notifications on. With that, this meeting is adjourned."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIevPtXwaz
Purcell stood up and left the supernatural club room, followed by a few dispersing people, leaving three individuals behind.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE8TYGjcTi
The three students leaned comfortably on the sofa. Their words were whispered as if wary of the walls that had ears. They growled and murmured, mentioning names of animals and unrelated matters.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9wrAbXkVN
"I hate those swine!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcENB6uQhs
"What about the Owl Seeing Ghost Award? They're just putting jam on plain bread to make it taste sweet!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfjY2hdEN0
"They have no right to interfere! Those damn creatures!"
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldhTbLW5Mx
"It must not be just once! I'm sure of it."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiezrNXrkQ5
"Stay calm, the clock might ring loudly. But when we press the button, it will stop silently."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gft3U500z
"Yeah... loud like a scream, then silence takes over."
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkPQaKtsHf
The supernatural club room, once filled with positive aspirations of humans, warmth, and tranquility, now harbored negative feelings, akin to an enraged cold demon.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAxoIhr5w2
Shouldn't a supernatural club room contain natural things, like humans? Or is it full of the supernatural, meaning demons?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmrlRE27J0
After all, not all answers mean spoken words. But as time goes on, everything becomes clear in a certain incident.
