"Hey, how does a club become a Crest Club?" Alex asked.
He had always wondered what was the difference between the Crest Clubs and every other club.
"Good question!" Chuck immediately jumped at the opportunity to enlighten his best friend about what set the Crest Clubs apart from the so-called ordinary clubs. "In order to become a Crest Club, that club must first make great contributions to the academy."
Alex furrowed his brows a little. "Great contributions?"
"Yes, and there are many ways to do that," Chuck replied. "The easiest and most straightforward way is giving the academy big amounts of money. For example, the Merchant Alliance, which is one of the twelve Crest Clubs, controls businesses inside and outside of the academy. It shares the profits with the school.
"However, a club can become a Crest Club by racking up achievements that will make Frieden Academy's influence and prestige rise! For example, through inter-academy competitions and other contests.
