Ragna took the club form paper and passed it to Elias who was sitting on the chair. Then, he returned to his position afterwards.

Elias reached out and accepted the club form paper from Ragna's hand, reading through its contents unhurriedly.

It was just as he expected, to establish a club one would need to fulfill the following requirements listed on the paper.

This includes; 4 members, a supporting club adviser, and the plan of the club after its establishment.

He had almost every requirement filled up except for the club adviser—but he should be able to settle it today at noon.

He just had the right teacher in mind.

As for his plan for the club... well, Elias wasn't playing games here. He had that already sorted out since the very beginning.

He took his club personally, professionally and seriously.

Clubs in this academy were not just simple hobbies, they more than that; a profitable business.

Elaine smiled at him gently.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'll be happy to assist you in your stay here."

Elias tapped the table and asked calmly.

"When is the deadline for the submission?"

"By this week, if you aren't able to submit your club form during this week, then you may need to fill up another form again next week."

Elaine answered.

"I see..."

Elias nodded thoughtfully before slowly standing up from the chair. Since he had already acquired the club form, he didn't have any reason to stay at the council anymore.

"Miss. Polaris... is that name okay for you?"

Elaine blinked before nodding gently.

"... Although I appreciate the respectful miss attached, it makes me feel old. You can call me Elaine or Polaris. Both are fine to me, junior."

"—Don't call me junior,"

Elias suddenly frowned. Elaine was taken aback from his sudden shift of mood. He glanced at her and explained.

"Sorry. I don't like nicknames. You can call me Elias or Corleone but don't use nicknames. I'm not that fond of them."

"I see... sorry for that then Elias."

Elaine nodded apologetically. That made her raise her eyebrows in a mix of curiosity and concern.

"It's fine. Apology accepted. We'll go now. We don't want to take your time any further with pointless conversations."

Elias bid farewell before turning around with Hajin and Ragna, preparing to exit from the door.

However...

Click!

At that moment, a student suddenly opened the door and saw the three of them together in the room.

The student was a man with short black hair and wore a pair of glasses. He was dressed in formal attire while wearing black gloves.

The student calmly looked at Elias and the rest with narrowed eyes. Behind his piercing red eyes, there was hidden sharpness.

The student sized up the gang cooly, nodding slightly before turning his gaze to Elaine sharply.

"Elaine. What's the meaning of this? I don't think I have an appointment scheduled for today."

"President! You're back. Don't worry, it's not an appointment... This is Elias Corleone, Hajin Sanchez and Ragna Newgate. They're here to get a club form."

Elaine was surprised before she immediately explained. The President nodded slightly with an unreadable expression.

"They already have one and they were about to leave but..." she added. "Well, you arrived. So..."

The President turned his gaze to Elias and the rest, sizing them up with his sharp analytic eyes.

"Elias Corleone, huh... I didn't know the star of the first year was visiting this run-down office. I heard you're going to establish a club. It's going to be hard. I'll give you a better offer: why don't you join the supreme student government instead?"

"I'll pass. I don't think paperwork is my forte,"

Elias shook his head with a smile. He raised his head and stared back at the President's eyes, feeling a slight chill crawl down his spine.

This was rare. He felt danger.

Ever since he enrolled in the academy, he hadn't found any worthy opponents he could say to be at the same level as him.

Perhaps Rain, but he didn't consider the main character as an opponent. He was an ally got the foreseeable future.

The President was giving him a sense of danger, something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Elaine was surprised. To be personally invited by the President... it seems the President's assessment of Elias was quite high.

'Also star of the first year?'

She felt like she was missing something important, but she couldn't remember what it was.

The President nodded and didn't pursue the topic. He switched his gaze to Hajin and Ragna.

"Hajin Sanchez... hm, the noble inheritor of the Sanchez Family? I see. now. Barely passable, I suppose."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Hajin narrowed his eyes. There seemed to be a bit of disdain and disappointment coming from the President's voice.

But the President ignored him and continued with Ragna.

"Ragna Newgate... geniuses do come from strange places. I can see that you have the strength in you, but you lack the skill and technique. Continue to do well."

"I'll forget your arrogant words as long as you fight me. You're quite strong... I feel it. Hehe, my hear is standing up. My body is itching to fight you."

Ragna's grinned. But the President shook his head and rejected him bluntly.

"No. My schedule is full. I'll consider it in the future when you become stronger, but as of now a fight with you will be a waste of time."

"... What did you just say?"

Ragna lost his smile from the President's reply. But Elias suddenly patted his back and leaned in to whisper something to him.

Ragna's expression suddenly stiffened as he took a step back, shaking his head. He closed his eyes and stayed quiet.

Elaine was about to act if Ragna were to still continue with his declarations, but it seemed she didn't need to do so.

Elias gave a thumbs-up to Elaine, indicating that everything was fine.

Seeing their interaction, the President's lips curled into an interested smirk. He nodded slightly.

"The future is going to be interesting, I suppose."

Elias didn't reply and stepped forward, passing ahead the President. He opened the door.

But before he could take a step outside, the President suddenly called out to him.

"I've heard about your plans. I say good luck and do your best. I'll be watching you all the way. This academy has been silent and boring for a while."

Elias stopped and tilted his head with a smile. It was a cold and amused smile.

"Interesting, you speak as if you know of my plans, President. I don't recall ever talking about it?"

"Figure it out on your own. Now, get out of my office."

The President shook his head and didn't elaborate any further. He waved his hand in dismissal.

"Alright. It's been a pleasure meeting you, President."

Elias said before stepping out with the gang following behind him. His smile vanishing in the process.
