The third day of the club meeting was usually used to welcome the new members and as a result, a small party was held in their honor.
This was also the time when the scent club was attacked in the original novel and Emma Dew was kidnapped by their shitty senior also known as Kevin. And currently, that party was about to start.
Naturally, Horas wanted to be there to prevent an incident from happening as it had in the book. It severely traumatized Emma and she had become handicapped for some time after this.
It had only been her friendship with Howard that had saved her but now even that seemed a little strained.
But as much as Horas wanted to head out toward the scent club, he was stuck in his club - the exploration club. And it was for the same reason Howard had arrived late to save Emma in the original novel.
'Ugh, I should have just not paid attention to Principal Marble and her conditions. I would not have been in this condition if I did that.'
In the end, Principal Marble permitted Tora to be allowed on the campus for some time but she had asked Horas to participate in the club in return.
So currently, it was Tora who was patrolling the school grounds and keeping an eye on the scent club. That was the thought that kept Horas focused on this activity around him.
"Horas, I did not expect you to be here today. Are you sure it is alright for you to have come to this party?"
Instructor Harris, the other one who was in charge of the exploration club asked Horas. He was more than aware of how much Horas hated such gatherings and wanted to run away every time he was forced to participate in one.
In reality, Horas did not hate these formalities but he did find them to be annoying. He usually did not spend much time in here because of the odd looks he got.
The students were too terrified of him to approach him while he was too young for the teachers. He was an enigma who did not fit into either sphere of influence.
This was something Instructor Harris knew well but he still pretend like he did not. And while it had been charming at first, it was nothing if not annoying by this point in time.
"Ahh, I wish I could stay behind for a little longer but it seems like there is someone else who wants to talk to you."
Instructor Harris looked around the hallway and Horas was sure he was feeling the presence of the same pair of eyes as Instructor Harris did. It seemed like Howard Spence was dying to talk to Horas and he could not wait.
His feet were moving around impatiently as he tried to hold his curiosity in. But the way Howard looked his way ever so often convinced Horas that he needed to avoid the person.
"Instructor Harris, can you just stick around a little bit more? I am currently not in the mood to entertain anyone."
Horas was not even being subtle at this point. He was all but pointing out toward Howard as he asked for protection. But the instructor only took one look at Horas's face and laughed out loud.
"Horas, you cannot keep on running away from people who want to get to know you. One of these days, you need to make an effort from your side."
Instructor Harris told him as he walked away slowly. From the corner of his eyes, Horas could see Howard making his way toward him. It was not a good sign and Horas quickly looked around for a familiar face.
He was only able to spot Duke and Regine in the mess of a club room. The rest of the extras were people Horas had never paid attention to before so he did not know them very well.
Howard had noticed Horas's panic and he hurried toward the place where Horas was currently standing. Horas had no choice but to resign to his fate of meeting Howard today.
"Hey Horas, you are here at this party as well. I was sure you were going to miss out on this but I am so glad to see you decided to come. I am sure you will not regret your decision to come here."
Howard spoke fast and clasped his hands into Horas's own. Horas was already regretting his decision of coming to this party.
'If not for the Principal, I would have been able to accompany Toras today. I should have accompanied Tora today anyway.'
Horas was regretful that he had not taken advantage of his opportunity. He had chances to get out of this party and he should have taken it.
"Hey Horas, I wanted to invite you out to my home. I think my guardian wants to offer you a position and working opportunities outside the academy and-"
Horas was half listening to Howard as his attention was primarily focused on Tora and her agitation. It seemed like something had finally happened in the scent club and it was Horas's clue to move.
"-so can you come with me?"
"Sure kid, let's talk about it later. I need to head out right now since it's an emergency."
Howard looked offended and glad at the same time and Horas should have been paying attention to what was being talked about.
But he did not and that was a problem for another day. For now, Horas needed to catch up with Tora and make sure Emma was not kidnapped and taken outside the academy.
The scent club was filled with the smell of sleeping potion but Horas had already taken the attitude for such a scenario. He knew such a thing would be attempted so he had prepared hard for it.
It was nice to see that all his preparations were finally bearing fruit for him in the end.
"Tora, hurry up and chase after that scent. Do not let it get away from us if you can help it."
Horas instructed and Tora changed shapes from a small cat to a big tiger and chased after the scent only she could smell right now. It was a good thing she had such a sharp nose and could assist Horas.
