Chapter 292 - An Unexpected Phone Call!

“The Development Club is the primary force for Kyoto to undertake this activity. Therefore, you are very fortunate to participate in this significant activity for the development of human history. I hope everyone can seize this opportunity to participate.”

After explaining the main content and background of the search for the lost map of humanity, thunderous applause echoed in the activity hall. The explanation was similar to what Moss had thought.

It was a significant activity led by the culture and propaganda department, which gathered the top ten universities’ strengths, research institutes, and departments under the culture and propaganda department.

The top 10 universities in the country were considered to participate in this activity because college students were active in thinking, having ideas, ability, and comprehensive quality.

Moreover, the students who would graduate from the top 10 universities in the future were society’s elites. They had to undertake significant work in the country and society.

Therefore, rather than intervening in the future, it was better to have this group of future elites participate in it now if they had the chance.

Alves noticed the club members’ enthusiasm and said joyously, “Those interested can register with Vice President Jonya. You can all participate in these glorious activities after we finish our training if you meet the primary conditions.

“Those with excellent conditions will have a chance to become a team leader in their own teams to complete their mission independently.”

Many students surrounded Jonya as soon as he finished speaking.

“Don’t worry, everyone! Line up and take your turns,” Jonya patiently said.

The other club members immediately helped to maintain order when they saw this. Soon, the new members lined up and were ready to sign up.

However, Moss was not in a hurry, so he stood at the end of the line.

Soon after, Alves called him over, “You don’t have to line up, Moss. When the club managers register, you can choose members from them and form your own team.”

Alves babbled, but Moss heard him. After all, Alves had said this when he recruited Moss. It seemed the president was a man of his word.

“Yes, President Alves,” Moss paused and asked, “Apart from the new members, could old members or non-members choose their teams?”

“T-That…” Moss’s question stumped Alves.

After some thought, he said, “Non-club members are fine as long as they’re willing to participate in this activity and meet our requirements.”

He patted Moss on the shoulder as he continued, “You can’t deliberately choose the wrong person, right? You can rest assured and do as you wish. If you need resources, just come to me. I’ll handle everything.”

“Okay, President Alves,” Moss nodded, “I already have a list of candidates. After the training ends, I’ll adjust further to the activity’s actual needs. I’ll also give you a written explanation.”

Alves’s eyes continued shining as he revealed a look of approval. He nodded smilingly, “All right, then I’ll wait for your written explanation.”

He was about to leave when he thought of something. Then he said, “I’m usually busy but spend plenty of time outside. You can look for Jonya if you can’t find me. I’ll inform her about this.”

Moss looked at the burly Alves and his full-face beard. He could not help but ask, “You haven’t seen my strength, so what makes you trust me so much?”

Moss did not know that Alves knew about his performance on the freshman entrance test. Moss had already convinced Alves of his strength.

To complete 13 questions was not something luck could explain. Strength and talent were the only things that could explain Moss’s performance.

…

After training, Moss handed over a copy of “Tomorrow’s Team Members Choice Guide” to Alves. Although Alves had mentally prepared himself, he still felt shocked when he saw the list.

He was not surprised to see Nat, Finley, Charlie, and Lila’s names on the list. Although Moss did not choose senior students to join his team, these four were the best of the new students in Kyoto.

However, Morales was not a member of Moss’s team because his strength was average at best. He might get pushed to the second campus, which would surprise him.

Although Alves was shocked, he ultimately respected Moss’s choices. Moss established his Tomorrow Team with him as their captain.

He had also invited Noel, but since Noel was a member of the Spiritual Power Club, he did not want to participate in such activities. Noel thought the improvement of spiritual power was the most important thing. Therefore, he rejected Moss’s invitation.

Still, Moss did not force him. After all, everyone had their own aspirations. After the club members formed their teams, the Tomorrow Team and the other nine teams carried out their missions.

Since the Tomorrow Team cooperated well, they quickly completed two missions since the earlier ones were relatively straightforward.

However, Moss’s phone rang just as he organized his team members to prepare for their third mission. He saw the caller ID “National Magical Beast Emergency Defense Center” and answered in confusion.

“Hello, is this Moss? This is the EDC! We need your cooperation with something. Our colleagues will arrive at your place in five minutes, so please prepare yourself,” a machine-like emotionless voice sounded from the other end of the call.

Although Moss knew about the EDC, he had not interacted with them much. However, he replied out of courtesy, “Okay!”

Moss had just sat down after hanging up the phone when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

The two burly middle-aged men in black suits entered the room and immediately locked onto Moss, “Hello, we’re from the EDC. Are you Moss?” The two showed Moss their work passes as they spoke.

“Yes, I am,” Moss nodded in response.

One of the men said severely, “Our leader awaits you. Please come with us.”

“Wait a moment,” Moss turned and walked to the conference table and said to his team members, “The EDC has called for me, so I won’t be able to participate in the third mission.”

He bowed to everyone as he continued, “I’ll leave the rest to you all.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard the two men in black suits mentioning the EDC and that their leader wanted to see Moss.

“That’s awesome, Moss! The EDC leader invited you over?!”

“Are you just going to go with them? Don’t you need to tell the counselor?”

The Tomorrow Team members were talking at the same time, and before Moss could respond, one of the men in black interjected, “Don’t worry. We’ve informed your school’s president.”

Moss nodded, “Since that’s the case, you guys won’t have to worry.” With that said, he and the two men in black suits exited the room.

Nat felt uneasy as she looked at Moss’s back. After some thought, she ran to the counselor’s office.
