Chapter 38: A Little Controversy About Names
"How about the Salted Fish Welfare Society?" The cyan shorthand quill pen tip poked under the letterhead, Zheng Qing shook the list in his hand, looked at the crossed-out list of names on it, and called out the next name weakly.
"I'm not a salted fish!" Zhang Jixin immediately slapped the table and retorted loudly.
"Me neither!" Dylan immediately chimed in.
"That's the name...... Should there be any benefits in that club?" Xin Fatzi's thinking was really different, and he immediately grasped a certain detail.
"Pass it!" Zheng Qing decisively crossed out the name with a pen and refused to answer any questions from the fat man.
"Next name...... Trafford Club ...... No, no, no. The publicly-funded student who presided over the meeting immediately crossed out the name and criticized it by name: "Dylan!
"Received ......" Mr. Vampire's nonchalant reply came from the coffin, but his tone was not the slightest hint of introspective sincerity.
"And the secret service, what kind of messy names are these!" Zheng Qing looked at the next name on the list, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his forehead: "Why don't you call it MTF......"
"If it's called MTF, it's likely to be targeted by the SCP maniacs. Zhang Jixin explained solemnly: "It doesn't matter if you call the secret service...... There are not a thousand organizations in the world that are called 'secret services', but there are also eight hundred, and there is no nominal risk at all. ”
"Hmm, I remember that there is a special service five in Great Britain that is very famous, why don't we change the name to 'special service nine'?" Xin Fat Man seemed to be very interested in the name: "It's better to add a prefix, well, can we hang the name under the three-pronged sword?"
"The three-pronged sword may not mind, but the Federation of Clubs will definitely veto the name in the first place. Teo shook his head and vetoed, but then added, "We can't use the formal constituent body of the Umno Alliance to endorse our own associations...... But I think it wouldn't matter if it was changed to 'Crusu Academy'...... After all, this mystical wizarding faction has been lost to history for a long time. ”
"Also, the name of the Secret Service 9 is a bit bigger...... We don't have that many of us. It's better to be smaller and add a subordinate. Dylan interjected coldly, "What do you think of the 'Crusu Academy's Nine Demon Hunting Divisions'?"
"If you add a team, it's even more perfect. Xiao Xiao complained rarely: "Crusu Academy's Special Service Nine Demon Hunting Division Three Divisions Special Forces." ”
"Are you serious?" shouted the young student in disbelief with wide eyes.
The orange cat, who had been slumped on the pillow and napping, let out a dissatisfied meow.
The chaotic sounds in the dorm room bothered it a little.
However, this time, the distraught young wizards didn't care about its thoughts, and everyone's attention was focused on the name of the society that had been uncertain for a long time.
"Childish. The blue, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and said two words, but did not explain more. I don't know if it's evaluating the name that exploded for the second time, or the question that Zheng Qing just shouted.
This made the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly fall into the embarrassment of confusion.
Of course, the name is just a choice. Fat Xin laughed, breaking the silent atmosphere in the dormitory, and looked at Zheng Qingdao: "What's the next name on the list?"
"It's so hard...... It's really hard...... When will we officially start the other agendas!" Lin Guo sighed and slammed his head on the desk: "There is still class in the afternoon." ”
"Since it's so hard to start...... Then it's simply called 'difficult to open a club'," Zheng Qing complained: "You can take homophony, 'Nankai', what do you think?"
No one spoke.
Everyone else looked at Zheng Qing with subtle eyes.
This made the young government student feel like an idiot.
"Just a joke...... Are you serious?" Zheng Qinggan laughed a few times.
"No, no, no," Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses, and his tone was a little strange: "I just think that the name you gave is unexpectedly appropriate......
"Nonsense......" The young public-funded student vetoed himself, and then glanced at a few bland and boring choices behind the list, and finally did not continue to sing the votes, but clutched the letter paper in his hand into a paper ball and threw it into the trash can in the dormitory, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Dr. Xiao Da, who had just spoken, and said in an affirmative tone: "Since I am presiding over the meeting...... Then I declare that the name of the society will be finalized by Dr. Shaw! We will call it whatever he says, and there is no objection?"
The others shook their heads in agreement.
The entire dorm seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"You guys have a hard time choosing...... It is a disease, and it must be cured. Although Xiao Xiao complained verbally, he did not refuse this seemingly very troublesome task, but he still lowered his head and wrote and drew in his notebook.
It wasn't until Zheng Qing urged again and again that he slowly raised his head and helped his glasses.
"What is the reason for us to form the club?" Xiao Xiao looked around and changed his words: "Or, what is the original intention of this club...... This question has to be answered, as it is also a mandatory question on the application form for associations. ”
"Credits?" Fat Xin replied in an uncertain tone: "Without a club, we would not have been able to participate in the school hunt, and there would be no way to earn credits......
"That's just a few of you're just. Xiao Xiao interrupted the fat man's statement impatiently, and turned his head to look at the other figures: "Dylan, Blue, Lin Guo...... And the reason why they joined this club because they didn't come?"
"Because it's boring. A lazy answer came from Dylan's tent.
"I want to really defeat a demon. Lin Guo clenched his little fist and waved.
"Fighting. "Blue, as always, is concise and to the point.
"That's the problem. Xiao Xiao grabbed the pen and poked the notebook in front of him, raised his voice and said: "Everyone has a variety of mentalities, and they don't have the same goal, how can they form a real team......
"I didn't think about forming the Top 10 Club of the Year at First University. Fat Xin muttered.
"Listen to me!" Dr. Xiao glared at the fat man viciously, patted his notebook, and continued: "Although our actions were a bit hasty, I must emphasize that the establishment of a club at First University is a very serious matter...... The name of the community we use must also match everyone's ideas, which is a requirement of the magic contract. ”
"Magic contract?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt again.
"According to the application materials, if the society is formed, everyone's name will be pulled into a magic contract similar to a roster, and if someone's ideas are not in line with the purpose of the society, their name will not be entered. Xiao Xiao didn't get angry this time, but patiently explained.
"So, we have to find common ground while reserving differences and find a common goal. ”
"Listen to my analysis first!" Dr. Xiao ignored the fat hand raised by Fat Xin again, and looked down at his notebook: "There are big and small goals, we can first choose the characteristics that all people will have, and then find the greatest common divisor." ”
"For example, Lin Guo wants to defeat the demons, and Blue Tinch wants to be able to fight, then the 'force side' is one of the directions we named. ”
"But we also had to take into account the thoughts of other members, like Dylan who always wanted an elegant, noble name. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. From the tent, Mr. Vampire Werewolf hurriedly echoed: "The name must match the elegant and perfect temperament of the nobles under the moon. ”
A few retching sounds rang out in the dorm room.
"So we should choose a name that is elegant, noble, but inclined to the side of force. Unfazed, the Doctor concludes, "Personally, I prefer the slightly neutral concept of 'Knights'...... Do you have any other suggestions?"
"What do I think? You haven't asked me what I think yet. Fat Xin finally found an opportunity and shouted urgently.
"It's okay to have a club that lets you participate," Zhang Jixin complained: "Would you object?"
The fat man was speechless.
"However, will the name of the Knights be a little vague?" Zheng Qing raised his doubts: "Just like the secret service you just said...... The name of the Knights, will it seem a little too big? ”
