For the sake of my innocent life
" Ner!" A loud sound shook the first year building
Ner trembled when she heard that voice
The moment she had been dreading had arrived
The classroom door opened forcefully
It was Lily who opened the door, with dozens of students behind her
Everyone was looking at Ner with worried looks
Lily quickly approached her. "Ner! What does this mean?"
" what are you talking about?." Ner feigned ignorance
"I'm talking about the club that Alexander established. Why are you a member of that club?" Lily placed her phone screen in front of Ner's face
For every newly created club, the names of the club members who founded it are published, and with every member who joins the club, that name is added to the list.
These lists were public, so anyone could see the names of members of any club they wanted
Yesterday, the name of a new club was published, which is the Chemistry Club
This news would have been unimportant to people who were not primarily interested in chemistry
But there was something strange about this club
The list consisted of only five members, not ten
This made many people wonder about this topic. Isn't there a law that stipulates that any new club must consist of ten members?
It didn't take long for them to discover why this club was such an anomaly
The names of the five club members were completely abnormal
Imperial Princess Diana
Saint Ner
Student Council Vice President, Leonard
Micallef family heiress, Leonora
Former heir to the Ford family, Alexander
Everyone who read the names of the club members was shocked
"..."Are they trying to create a club of superheroes?
If any of those on this list wanted to join a club, all clubs would do everything they could to convince them to join their club.
If the Saint or the Imperial Princess joined any club, it would make that club the strongest in the academy, and no one would dare stand against that club.
How did Alexander manage to convince them to join his club?
Many first-year students felt that something fishy was going on
Ner and Alexander are enemies who have fought each other before
Therefore, Ner joining the club headed by Alexander was inconvenient for them
He must have played some trick to convince Ner....Lily was the first to raise her voice.
All first-year students agreed with her statement
They all knew how deceitful Alexander was and how he used despicable methods against his enemies. Especially Lily, who fell victim to one of his tricks and lost humiliatingly against him
Every time she remembered that funny mustache he had drawn on her face, she grinded her teeth with anger
She decides to go to Ner and ask her directly why she took this step
Many students followed her, wanting to help Ner if she was in trouble
If Alexander is blackmailing Ner or something, they will surround Alexander and beat him again.
Don't worry, Ner. All you have to do is say what Alexander told you to say... Ner took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Ner kept a neutral face. "I joined the club because I love chemistry..."
"..." Everyone looked at Ner unconvinced
Only this?
"But we're talking about Alexander here…" Lily was also unconvinced by Ner's argument
"I know, but I really love chemistry and I wanted to join this club so much..."
"But what if Alexander tries to harm you?..." Lily spoke about the topic that was worrying everyone
"Do not worry, no matter how bold Alexander is, he will not make any hostile move in the presence of the Imperial Princess... Everyone knows what would happen if Princess Diana was upset with him..."
"..." Everyone knew that Alexander's neck would be in danger if he bothered Diana because the Emperor would not let him get away easily.
"But..." Lily didn't feel comfortable
"Don't worry Lily, I'll be fine..." Ner quickly packed her things and said. "I have something important to do. I'll see you later."
Ner left quickly
"..." The students stared at her back
" what shall we do?." Miranda asked.
"Should we arrest Alexander and make him confess to what he did?" Edwin proposed a plan
"No..." Lily refused and narrowed her eyes. "I will join the chemistry club."
" What?!." Miranda's eyes widened and she asked automatically
"I will go with Ner to that club and protect her. If Alexander wants to take revenge on Ner, he should step on my corpse..."
"...." Alexander and Lily in the same room?
Will everything be okay?
---------------------
"..." Sylvia stared at the paper in her hands
This paper contained a request to create a new club after they had gathered the required number of members
In fact, they collected only half the number, but for an unknown reason, they were able to obtain official approval from the academy administration, and all that remains is to obtain the approval of the student council.
Sylvia was as shocked by the names as the rest of the students
But what made her more shocked was the funding requested by the club president
Alexander was asking them for a financing of ten thousand coins
"...." Must be a typo
Sylvia quickly called Leonard to make sure
There's no mistake, he really wants this amount... Leonard replied to her in a brief manner
"...." It's a mistake in Alexander's head, not a typo
Because no sane person would ask for such an amount at the beginning of his establishment of the club
New clubs required a maximum of 100 coins as financing
Even the Hunting Club requested only five hundred coins when establishing their club, and this amount was exaggerated in the eyes of many, but the President of the Hunting Club argued that their club consists of the elite of young warriors who deserve this amount to increase their strength.
But the Chemistry Club asked for more than ten times that amount
Sylvia would have rejected this request if it had been any other club
But this club was a special case
Any member of this club was capable of giving her a headache
What would happen if Princess Diana complained to the Emperor that Sylvia and the Student Council had refused to fund her club?
Then the imperial court will accuse them of treason and imprison them
Sylvia swallowed a mouthful of saliva when she thought of the Emperor's anger
No, Diana would not do such a thing.... Sylvia reassured herself
But what would happen if the saint got angry?
The church may file a complaint and create a big problem
In the worst case, one of those religious extremists might come to her room and stab her
There is also Leonora Micallef
The Micallef family was the academy's main supporter
If her family heard that the student council had refused to fund the club that Leonora joined, this might make them angry and consider it an insult to the family's dignity.
Then they may reduce the funding they provide to the academy, and thus the academy will lose a lot
You don't give money to our heiress? Then we won't give you money either
This is definitely what will happen
Sylvia held her head
Her refusal of this request would have made her life hell
She may become a traitor and be imprisoned, or someone will kill her, or she will throw the academy into a financial crisis.
She bit her red lips and forced herself to sign the financing paper
For the sake of a better future for the academy and to preserve my innocent life
