Maria placed a stack of papers on the table in front of her and looked at Leonard, whose eyes were cloudy with dark circles under his eyes. “This is a new set of names.”
"Urgh..." Leonard let out a bitter groan
He worked all night to record students' information to prepare for the upcoming test
Even with his hard work there are still hundreds of names
At times like this, he really wants to resign from the student council
"Go get some rest. I'll enter this information into the system myself." Maria sat down, placed a group of files in front of her, and began transferring the information into the academy's system
"You are my savior." Leonard looked at Maria gratefully
She is a good and upright person
How could she have such an evil little brother like Alexander
The difference between Alexander and Maria was so great that he doubted that they had found Alexander under a bridge or something like that
Leonard got up, walked with heavy steps, and opened the door
"Ohhoh...!" Leonard took a cold breath when he saw Alexander standing in front of him
Where the hell did this person come from?
Alexander smiled. " Good morni-"
Baaam!
Leonard closed the door immediately
"What's going on, Leonard?"
Maria heard a strong sound of the door closing and noticed Leonard's strange behavior
Leonard was sweating and said with a forced smile. “No...nothing important...”

Baaam! Baaam!
There was a loud knock on the door
"Leonard!..." There was a screaming sound from outside. "Open the door before I break it over your head."
"...." Is she imagining or is this Alexander's voice?
Maria looked strangely at the door
The knocking continued with more force and the door was about to be knocked out of its place
Leonard was forced to open the door, and looked at a scowling Alexander
"You close the door on someone else. You're cruel, Leonard." Alexander was not satisfied with Leonard's behavior
" What do you want from me?." Leonard wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible
He shouldn't get involved with Alexander too much
"Leonard...we're friends, right?"
"...." How should he answer that?
Leonard glanced at Maria, who was standing behind him. He chose to ignore Alexander's question and pretend not to hear it
“Alexander, is there a problem?” Maria stood next to Leonard and crossed her arms
"I'm here to invite him to the new club."
" club?." Maria looked at Leonard
Leonard shook his head vehemently, denying he knew anything Alexander was talking about
She returned her gaze to Alexander. “What is the specialty of this club?”
"Chemistry Club."
"...." Isn't this the club that a lot of students complained about because of the posters that were pasted everywhere?
The Student Council was tasked with cleaning the academy of these posters, which made them waste a lot of time on this task
They cursed the person who carelessly pasted these posters
It is now revealed that Alexander is the person responsible for all of this
“Why am I not surprised by this?” Leonard wasn't too shocked by this fact
As expected from Alexander. He likes to do things in an extreme way, far from common sense
“This is not what I came to talk about, I am here to tell you important news.” Alexander looked at Leonard with a serious expression. “Princess Diana wants to create a new club.”
" Princess Diana?." A tense expression appeared on Leonard's face
Alexander nodded. “Yes, the princess has begun gathering trusted people to help her establish this club.”
Leonard could guess why Alexander was coming now. “So she wants me to join the club?”
“She asked me if I knew a responsible person who could help her manage the club’s affairs. So, I mentioned your name and told her that your skills would be essential in running the club.”
“This...” Leonard scratched his cheek and felt both embarrassed and flattered. "You're exaggerating a little."
Getting close to a member of the imperial family was a dream for anyone
Therefore, Leonard was happy when Alexander said that he had praised him in front of the princess and advised her to include him in the club to help her.
This was the chance of a lifetime, if he could gain a supporter like the Emperor's beloved daughter, no one would dare stand up to him
Alexander continued. “Not only that. Saint Ner joined the club as well...”
Saint?!
Leonard's eyes widened
This... Managing the club where both the Imperial Princess and the Saint will be will give him absolute power within the academy, especially if he can become their friend or make them consider him one of their followers.
Alexander put his hand on Leonard's shoulder and said with a wide smile. "Congratulations, Leo..."
“Hahaha, thank you, Alex…” Leonard was so happy that he wanted to hug Alexander
“Cough...” Maria interrupted them. "Alexander, there is something important I want to talk to you about. When can we meet?"
" Let me see." Alexander put on his glasses and took out a small notebook from his pocket
“...” Maria stared at Alexander
Alexander's eyesight is very good. So why did Alexander wear glasses?
Why did he take a notebook out of his pocket?
"Hmm, I'm busy at the moment." Alexander checked his schedule with a frown
“We just need one hour to talk.”
“I have a lot of things to do. Right now I have to go to the Home Economics Club, then help the princess run the club, and then I have to do my service at the hospital...”
“In that case, when can we meet?”
“I think the beginning of next year will be a good time.” Alexander took off his glasses and put the notebook in his pocket
"...." Should I wait a whole year to talk to my little brother?
