【Cultural-ish Insight】 There are many students in Japan who join clubs "for some reason" without sold motivations.  This is bc some schools oblige the students to join a club, and even if it's not obliged, many still choose to do so since they don't wanna be an "odd one out".

【Today's Quote】

"取（と）るに足（た）らない”このプライド　絶対（ぜったい）に覚（おぼ）えておけよ

So you better remember that I got this "petty and valueless" pride, and see what it can make happen.
