12:30 PM, in the Elevrad room.
I called all the Elevrad members to the Elevrad room because I had something I wanted to discuss with them.
"I apologize for interrupting your time by calling you here. The reason I called you here is because there's something I want to discuss," I said.
"Relax, chairman. I'm sure the other Elevrad members won't mind," said Noa.
"Yes, that's right. I don't mind either," said Elaina.
The other Elevrad members nodded in agreement.
"So, what is it you wanted to discuss with us, chairman?" asked Charles.
"I called you here because I wanted to discuss the recruitment of new Elevrad members. In addition, I'm also going to announce the members who will fill the vacant positions of vice chairman and secretary of Elevrad," I said.
The other Elevrad members looked serious as they listened.
"Announcing the members who will fill the vacant positions, huh? I'm sure it won't be me," said Noa.
"I'm also certain it's not me," Charles said.
"You're both right, neither of you will be the ones to fill the vacant position. I'll announce who will fill the vacant position. Starting with Elevrad's secretary... Irene, I appoint you as the new Elevrad secretary," I said.
Some of the Elevrad members present looked a little surprised when I appointed Irene as the new Elevrad secretary.
"Do you accept, Irene?" I asked.
"I accept, chairman. I accept to be the new Elevrad secretary," Irene said.
"Thank you, Irene. Then, from now on, Irene is officially the new Elevrad secretary," I said.
The other Elevrad members applauded upon hearing my words. They applauded Irene's appointment as the new Elevrad secretary. A few moments later, their applause slowly subsided.
"I'm surprised you chose Irene as Elevrad secretary, Rid. I thought you would choose Irene as Elevrad's vice-chairman," Charles said.
"I thought so too," Chloe said.
Several other Elevrad members nodded in agreement.
"So that's why they seemed surprised when I appointed Irene as Elevrad secretary," I thought.
"I didn't choose Irene as Elevrad vice-chairman because there's already a suitable Elevrad member to fill the position. I'll announce the suitable member right away. Elaina, I appoint you as the new Elevrad vice-chairman," I said.
Several other Elevrad members were surprised again after hearing my words.
"Me? Are you serious, chairman?" Elaina asked, her face unfazed.
"Yes, I'm serious. The reason I chose you as Elevrad vice-chairman now is because you'll be Elevrad's chairman when the fourth-year Elevrad members and I graduate. You're the most suitable person to replace me," I said.
Elaina fell silent for a moment after hearing my words. She seemed to be contemplating something. Then, a moment later, she began to speak again.
"Very well, chairman. I accept the position of new vice-chairman of Elevrad," said Elaina.
"Thank you, Elaina. Then, from now on, Elaina is officially the new vice-chairman of Elevrad," I said.
All the other Elevrad members applauded upon hearing my words, then shortly after, their applause gradually subsided without my prompting.
"Then, the position of Elevrad treasurer is still held by Chloe, as it was last year. And now, since I've announced the members who will fill the vacant positions, let's begin another discussion. Let's discuss the recruitment of new Elevrad members from the first-year students for this school year," I said.
The other Elevrad members and I began discussing the recruitment process. They and I discussed the profiles of the prospective Elevrad members you wish to recruit. Then, I appointed several members to be tasked with recruiting new Elevrad members. The selected members began carrying out their duties. In less than a week, we successfully recruited new Elevrad members from the first-year students.

The third week of December 1220.
I gathered the Elevrad members again in the Elevrad room to discuss submitting a proposal for funding for the academy's tournament and festival this school year. We completed the proposal in the first week of the month and now all that was left was to submit the document to Her Majesty the Queen and the four Dukes.
A third-year student and I will go to the White Palace to deliver the proposal to Her Majesty the Queen. Chloe and Noa will go to the residence of Duke San Minerva. Charles and a third-year student will go to the residence of Duke San Angela. Elaina and a third-year student will go to the residence of Duke San Quentine. Then, Irene and another third-year student will go to the residence of Duke San Lucia.
After the representative members who will go to submit the proposal have been determined, we, the representatives, will immediately go to our respective destinations the next day. Then, in the afternoon and evening, we all return to the academy with news of the approval of our proposal. Funding for the academy's tournament and festival will be provided immediately.

The first day of January 1221.
Queen Kayana has returned to the academy and is currently in Miss Karina's room. I am also currently in Miss Karina's room because as soon as Queen Kayana arrived, Miss Karina immediately contacted me and asked me to come to her room.
"What's your business this time, Your Majesty?" I asked.
"As usual, I came here to discuss something with you two," said Queen Kayana.
"Discuss something? Is it about the perpetrator who planned to assassinate you and the entire San Lucia family?" I asked.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to know what I wanted to talk about right away, Rid," said Queen Kayana.
"Well, you always talk about that when you come here, Your Majesty. So I immediately knew what you wanted to talk about," I said.
"Ahahaha, that's right. Alright, let's get to that. First, I want to ask you something: has anything strange or suspicious happened at this academy?" asked Queen Kayana.
"Strange? Nothing. Violetta and her knights always guard this academy closely. If anything strange were to happen, she would definitely tell me right away. Since she's never told me, there's nothing strange going on at this academy," said Miss Karina.
"I didn't find anything strange or suspicious at this academy either, Your Majesty," I said.
"Hmm, I see. By the way, Rid, when you went to the White Palace to deliver the financial aid proposal, did anything strange or suspicious happen on your way from the academy to the White Palace? Like an attack or anything else," said Queen Kayana.
"Nothing, Your Majesty. My trip from the academy to the White Palace went smoothly without a single hitch," I said.
"What about the other members of Elevrad? They were also tasked with delivering the financial aid proposal to the residences of the four Dukes," said Queen Kayana.
"Their journey also went smoothly, Your Majesty. There were no attacks or anything else that happened to them on the way," I said.
"Hmm, I see," said Queen Kayana.
Queen Kayana then fell silent as if contemplating something.
"Why do you ask about that, sis? Are you worried about the perpetrators who planned the assassination since they haven't made any more movements?" asked Miss Karina.
"Yes. It's been two years since the attack on Aston Village, and there haven't been any more attacks in this kingdom since. Even after the 'security emergency' was lifted a year ago, there have still been no attacks or suspicious movements in this kingdom. Even though they haven't attacked or moved in for two years, I've been trying to find their location and whereabouts, but I haven't found them. The bounty on Albert is still in place, as he hasn't been found either. He was last seen during the attack on San Sabaneta Prison. After that, he hasn't been seen since. This is very strange. Are the main perpetrators who planned the assassination no longer willing to carry out their plan because they haven't moved in the past two years?" asked Queen Kayana.
Queen Kayana fell silent again, thinking about something. Miss Karina also fell silent. Since the situation had become quiet, I decided to speak.
"I think they have a reason for not making any moves for the past two years, Your Majesty. Perhaps they are preparing for a very large-scale attack and movement, which is why they have chosen not to make any moves for the past two years. It would be best for us to remain vigilant and prepared for that possibility, because if we let our guard down, they could launch a surprise attack," I said.
Queen Kayana, who had been silent before, immediately responded to my words.
"Yes, you are right. It is better for us all to remain vigilant against them even though they have not made any moves for the past two years," said Queen Kayana.
-
Four months later.
April has arrived. The month when we, the fourth-year students, will take our final exams of the school year. For our final exam of the year, we will be taking it in the San Lucia region.
