Detailed Summary
In the computer lab, a bald student wearing shades welcomes the club seeker. He asks him how familiar he was with computers, to which the seeker responds that he’s never used any. The computer guy laughs before throwing a punch at the seeker. To his alarm, the now experienced seeker dodges it and counters with a punch of his own. He stops just short of hitting his face.

Seizing this opportunity, the computer guy hits him on the head and sends him sprawling. He inwardly praises the seeker's skills, before whacking him with a stool. Telling him that it’s no good to join without experience, he calls him scum and asks him if he has no common sense. He then asks the seeker if the other two scum also got into trouble because of him and calls him scum again.

The seeker is surprised to see the ex-Chemistry Club President and the ex-Film Research Society President in the room. Responding to the computer guy, they tell him that the seeker is the reason their clubs were abolished, while also replacing every pronoun with ‘scum’. The seeker says he didn’t expect to cause so much trouble and apologizes to all the ‘scum’.

The three others are aghast that he copied their style of speech and threaten to beat him up. The computer guy tells the seeker that he can’t let him join the club. The seeker begs him to reconsider and tells him he needs one last chance after messing up twice. He regards him in silence, then turns to another student sitting at a computer. Addressing him as ‘President’, he asks him if the seeker can join, and the president agrees.

Furious that the computer guy wasn’t really the president, the seeker strikes him a sharp blow across the face.
