First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System
Chapter 153: On To The Next Member!

Raising his head, Orion looked at the time—it was still high in the afternoon. "I think I'll look for Arya and go around with her to see if we can find the other members. Sylvia, Garron, Tavian, and Kale are left now."

She thoughtfully nodded, "I can find Sylvia for you, I know where she would be. Tell me a location and I will bring her there for you. You can look for the others in the meantime."

Orion appreciatively nodded his head, "Thanks for that. I'll be at the fountain on the west side of the academy. I should head out and look for Arya in the meantime then."

After a bit more chat, the two of them parted ways.

Orion leisurely made his way through the academy's open corridors, sunlight filtering warmly through the tall windows, bathing everything in a soothing golden hue.

[Aaaaannnnndddd CONGRATULATIONS Master for acquiring another Club Member!! You're really amazing~ (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]

Orion chuckled gently, shaking his head with an amused expression. 'Lumi, you exaggerate too much. Felira was easy to convince thanks to Arya. But it does feel good knowing that capable people like her see value in the club.'

[Of course! Master, you picked the best talents right from the start! Now everyone else will surely want to join! ✧(>o<)ﾉ✧]

He smiled lightly at her enthusiasm, glancing around for any sign of Arya or Emilia. 'Let's hope the others see it that way as well. Especially Sylvia and Garron, since their influence can really boost the club's credibility.'

Lumi giggled cheerfully, [Hehe, don't worry, Master! With you leading and Arya's prestige backing you, they'll all jump at the chance!]

Orion smirked slightly, amused by her confidence. 'I wish I shared your optimism.'

As he rounded a corner leading back toward the central gardens, Orion finally caught sight of Arya's distinctive golden hair shimmering brilliantly under the sun, Emilia's calm figure quietly standing beside her.

Arya turned immediately upon sensing his presence, a warm smile blossoming across her face. "Brother Orion! How was your Wood Element class?"

Orion closed the gap between them quickly, returning her smile. "It went great. Instructor Lysandra's knowledge is quite profound—I learned some very useful things. But more importantly," he paused dramatically, raising an eyebrow playfully, "I managed to recruit another member."

Arya's eyes lit up with immediate curiosity, leaning in eagerly. "Oh? Who?"

"Felira Norwyn," Orion replied with a confident nod. "She seemed genuinely interested in our club. She even offered to help by finding Sylvia and bringing her to us at the west-side fountain later."

Arya clapped her hands gently in delight. "That's wonderful! Felira has quite the reputation among the Marquess and lower-ranking Noble Houses—especially when it comes to Wood and Water elements. She's exactly the kind of member we need. And getting Sylvia to join would be a huge bonus."

Emilia nodded in agreement, 'She would be a good choice for being the club's healer…'

[She would have been if there weren't two Light Elemental Users already. Tsk tsk tsk, they are so rare yet this kingdom managed to nurture two. You really got some good company, girl.]

'I know, no need to remind me.'

Emilia softly continued, "Sylvia's swordsmanship alone makes her highly valuable, not to mention her background. You might be able to learn a lot from her if you spar regularly."

Orion nodded in agreement, "Yes. But that can wait for later. Instead of waiting for Felira and Sylvia, let's go look around for Garron first. He would boost our club's prestige to the next level. And House Harrington is the one backing him."

Arya smiled cheerfully. "Alright, Brother Orion! Let's find him."

They set off together through the busy academy grounds, passing groups of chatting students, lush gardens, and peaceful courtyards.

After several tens of minutes of casual searching, Arya spotted Garron standing near a shaded grove, speaking to a group of younger students wearing the colors of House Harrington.

Approaching confidently, Orion called out calmly, "Garron, good afternoon!"

Garron turned his broad shoulders slightly, dark eyes calm and composed as he recognized Orion's group. His expression remained calm as he looked at Orion and Emilia before his expression turned slightly respectful looking at Arya, "Princess, Orion, Emilia. Good afternoon. Is something the matter?"

Orion smiled lightly, meeting Garron's gaze. "I came to invite you to join the club which I'm making. I wonder if you are interested?"

Garron raised an eye in surprise, "Hmm, I did hear something like that a few days ago. I didn't expect you to really do it. Who has joined your club so far?"

Orion looked at him with interest, noticing how he didn't ask for the goal of the club but instead who joined it. Nodding his head, he continued, "Arya, Emilia, Nyss, Elias, and Felira have joined already. I'm planning to gather the top 10 of our batch, or at least those who want to join."

Garron nodded his head, "That's impressive enough. You got more than half of the top students from the new batch. So what's the goal of your club? Just to establish your own power? Or do you want to grow a force?"

"Nothing like that," Orion softly chuckled and gestured with his hand, "I created this club because I wanted freedom and to not be tied down with other clubs. As for the main goal? That would be exploration—exploring all the different ruins, dungeons, legacy grounds, among other places. I don't want to just stay here and improve in a controlled environment. That would limit me."

Garron's eyes flashed with surprise, "Oh? Do you plan to explore after forming the club? Because I must say that's close to suicide if I've ever seen it."

Orion chuckled, "Of course not. I won't go out of my way to die. We would start exploring when we have at least enough strength to protect ourselves. So, what do you say? Interested?"

Garron lowered his head with a thoughtful expression. After a few seconds of contemplation, he exhaled a sigh and raised his head, "As much as I want to join and explore the various places with you, Orion, however, I have responsibilities as the heir of House Harrington. I'm already overseeing our family's club. I'm afraid I must decline."

Orion's lips slightly twitched, 'Did he just ask me all that to know all the information possible? This sly bastard.'

However, his face held a polite smile and he nodded his head, "I see. I completely understand your position—it's an important responsibility. But if you ever change your mind, the invitation remains open."

Garron lightly smiled seeing his expression. He realized Orion had seen through his motives, but he didn't mind and nodded his head, "Thank you for your understanding. I wish your club success. Perhaps we could cooperate in the future for something."

Arya smiled lightly, gracefully nodding, "We'd like that very much."

Garron lightly bowed toward Arya, and after an exchange, Orion and his group walked away.

Walking some distance, Arya nudged Orion playfully, grinning teasingly, "Looks like even the mighty Brother Orion gets rejected sometimes."

Orion chuckled lightly, shaking his head, "I'm happy as long as I'm not getting rejected by a girl. And it was not too bad considering the start we had. Let's move on to Tavian next."
