Contacting potential allies and helpers

Meanwhile, Evan, who was making his way to the Chief Grand Magus's office while sipping his favourite strawberry juice, heaved a sigh of exhaustion as he thought about how much mental energy that he had to expend to keep a straight face throughout the time he was talking with Eliza.

The young hero knew his crush wasn't exactly averse to the idea of being a 'thing' with him so he knew he had a chance.

'Her expression when she realised was quite cute though.'

A small smile unconsciously formed on his face as he thought about Eliza, but he remembered he was in public and quickly adjusted his expression so he won't look like a weirdo smiling to himself while walking.

Upon reaching the Magic Tower and informing the personnel at the reception that he had an appointment with the Chief grand magus, he took a seat and waited as he went through the list of people he wanted to contact using the chief grand magus' connections.
