C5 He Could Not Afford to Offend Them

Lin Luo returned to his dorm and quickly fell into a deep sleep, his gentle snores soon filling the room.

The next morning, he was abruptly awoken by Su Xiaoyu's urgent voice, "President, get up! Today's the last day. Whether we can recruit any members will determine the fate of the Dawn Society."

Lin Luo groggily sat up.

The Dawn Society was short just two members.

A single day should suffice.

Su Xiaoyu was on edge. If the Dawn Society disbanded, no other club would take him in.

Born with a formidable build, he hadn't managed to unlock his Spiritual Sea but possessed the strength of a Class C Psionic Warrior, earning him a spot in the Psionic Academy's Warrior Faculty.

Yet, a year into the academy, his Spiritual Sea remained closed.

It was common knowledge that the academy's first-year curriculum was fundamental.

Failing to unlock his Spiritual Sea in the first year meant dwindling chances in the future.

Buckling under the pressure, Su Xiaoyu switched to the Logistics Department.

Branded as a disgrace by the Warrior Faculty, only the Dawn Society had opened its doors to him.

Su Xiaoyu was determined not to let the Dawn Society fall apart.

By early morning, the Academy Plaza was bustling with activity.

After a day's reflection, many clubless freshmen had found societies to join.

Clubs across the plaza were swarming with new recruits.

The Thorns Society, in particular, was overflowing with people.

In stark contrast, the Dawn Society's booth remained desolate.

Lin Luo sat there, disheartened.

Was the Dawn Society's reputation really that terrible?

Just then, a taunting voice drifted over from the Thorns Society, "Is this the president of the Dawn Society? Can't recruit any members, huh? If you don't, the Dawn Society will be history by tomorrow."

Lin Luo was taken aback, the sting of mockery apparent.

Yet, he didn't recognize the speaker.

Turning to Su Xiaoyu, Lin Luo inquired, "Who is that? Why is he so brash?"

"That's Gu Ritian, the Deputy President of the Thorns Society," Su Xiaoyu informed him.

Lin Luo was taken aback.

The name was indeed imposing.

It was nothing short of a miracle that he had lasted this long.

Now that's a true powerhouse!

Lin Luo hurriedly approached and said, "So it's you, Boss Ritian."

Gu Ritian's face turned a deep shade of red as he retorted, "Lin Luo, you've crossed President Serena, and now you're dismissing me as well?

I'll have you know, if Dawn Society manages to recruit even one member today, I'll leap from the top of the teaching building."

Lin Luo's confusion deepened. When had he ever offended President Serena?

And who was Selina?

Then, it hit him.

He glanced up at the towering teaching building and gulped.

If Gu Ritian were to jump from there, it would surely be fatal.

In that moment, Lin Luo was convinced that Boss Ritian was not just ill but severely so.

Ritian was contemplating suicide!

Lin Luo was always generous in dealing with those who were unwell.

He pleaded, "Boss Ritian, I'll just pack up and get out of here. Please, don't do anything rash like jumping off the building."

Gu Ritian froze.

Su Xiaoyu froze as well.

All the onlookers were equally frozen in shock.

None of them could fathom what Lin Luo was up to.

Had he lost his mind?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Luo indeed began to gather his belongings.

With Boss Ritian and the elusive bigwig, President Serena, against him, he stood no chance.

Lin Luo was in a state of panic.

He was set on leaving.
