A few minutes before Niel entered the student council room, Evangeline was once again the only person left in the room. She was as usual double checking all the files to make sure that there were no mistakes made.

While she was doing this, she received a message from Sayaka, who told her that their group wouldn't be doing any practice today. Receiving this message from Sayaka reminded her of what Sayaka told her yesterday. She and Oliver were finally an official couple.

This was surprising news for Evangeline, since she didn't know that Oliver actually had feelings for Sayaka. She knew that Sayaka liked Oliver, but not the other way around of him liking her. So when Sayaka told Evangeline this news, she was both happy and surprised.

'Even Sayaka was able to snatch the man she wants.'

When Evangeline's thoughts got to that point, she remembered Alex. It has been quite some time since she had talked or even looked at Alex. The last time was two days ago. She was so swamped with paperwork that she had no time to see him...

'Or did I unconsciously admitted defeat?... That can't be!... Still, even if I had a lot of paperwork, I would always have time to see Alex, but nowadays it's like I'm actively avoiding him...'

Evangeline's thoughts were once again in a mess. She thought she already resolve herself to fight it out with Rachel, but for the past few weeks she had done nothing in particular to make Alex look her way. She even got him in trouble with her kidnapping, and even those under her like the Harimas cause him trouble.

Was she really just going to lose just like this? In all the chaotic thoughts she was having, one idea stood above the rest.

'I need to get stronger.' If she had the strength, she wouldn't have trouble with kidnappers, and she would be able to defend herself. Not only that when something troublesome comes Alex's way she would be able to help.

'Actually now that I think about it, maybe Alex is attracted to girls with fighting prowess. Most of his friends that are girls know how to fight. Well that is except for me... Actually now that I think about it, that is one of the few advantages Rachel has over me... I see! So I just need to get stronger, so that Alex will look my way.'

When Evangeline reached this conclusion she decided to learn how to fight. So she needed a teacher, her family can obviously afford to hire an instructor that will teach her the ways of fighting, but that might take some time, and she would need to interview all possible applicants to see who seem to be fit to teach her.

This could also invite disaster to her family, what if the instructor she hires was an assassin, that was after one of her family members or herself, then that would defeat the purpose of learning.

So she needed to pick someone that she already knows and can trust. Now that she thinks about it, doesn't she know a ton of people like that. There was the teacher Lyner the one and only SS rank merc.


Still he would most probably not teach someone like her. The guy was very eccentric and has his own way of picking apprentices. She could learn from Oliver's teacher the powerful swordsman Ken.

'I guess I could ask Oliver to introduce me to his teacher, when he has free time. So who else can I ask to teach me.'

Evangeline thought of Oliver's girlfriend, and her own friend Sayaka. Evangeline already knows that Sayaka was an assassin, so maybe she could teacher her the ways... Scratch that, Evangeline didn't want to kill people, if not needed. She just wants to defend herself, so maybe Sayaka is not the best choice to be a teacher.

Of course Evangeline already thought that Rachel's dojo was the best choice seeing as they used their fist to fight, and can incapacitate an opponent without killing them. Still Evangeline didn't want to ask help from the family of her love rival.

She could ask Alex directly to teach her, so that she can learn and spend more time with him, but Evangeline was scared that Alex might reject teaching her. Fearing that conclusion Evangeline decided to not do that.

Finally she thought of the last person in the club that could teach her how to fight. It was Niel the most popular boy in school. Niel was known by all the students to be a boy that could do anything. Evangeline has heard that if Niel joined the karate club, he could've won every tournament with ease.

Niel was also a good teacher, and the martial arts he knows off is most probably the ones known by the general public. So the difficulty of learning them might lessen.

'I guess I can ask Niel for help. With his personality he would probably accept.'

When Evangeline decided this, she told herself she would contact Niel once she was done with her paperwork. Now that she was done thinking about those random thoughts, Evangeline went back to work.

When she saw the almost endless amount of paperwork, she felt at a loss. If she wanted to become stronger she needed more time to train, but this paperwork wouldn't magically disappear, and even if she finishes this, tomorrow there would most probably be more paperwork. If she left it to the other student council members, who knows if they'll be able to do it right. If they don't do it right she might fail the test of succession, but if she did focus on this she might lose Alex.

Evangeline with this messy thoughts, scratched her hair in agitation, and swiped all the paperwork out of her desk. She then proceeded to jump on it and screamed on the top of her lungs.

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

It was at that moment when she did this a person entered the room, and that person was none other than Niel. It was as if the world was telling her to take the chance.

"Niel, perfect timing! I have a favor to ask of you."

Evangeline slowly approached Niel while she was thinking. 'I'm sure father will understand if I tell him this is part of a plan to get closer to Alexander Samarita. It doesn't matter if he misunderstands my true intentions, but I'm not giving up on Alex.'

Evangeline with her resolve strengthened more than ever asked Niel.

"Will you please grant me strength?"
