Alex and his group were passing by students who kept on looking at them which wasn't different from any other day, but this time most of their focus was on Kei. The whole way to the club room was a difficult task for Kei, but he soldiered on.
When the group got to the clubroom, Niel was already there so was Eva. When Kei saw Evangeline Kain for the first time up close, his reaction was the same as most guys, which was staring dumbly at her beautiful face and body while gulping.
Eva noticing the new person within the group and greeted him. "Hi, you must be Kei Kaido. I'm the Student Council president Evangeline Kain." When Kei saw Evangeline extending her hand wanting to do a handshake, Kei didn't react and just looked dumbly at Eva.
"Is there something wrong?" When Kei saw Eva's confused face as if she did something wrong. Her beautiful face coupled with her troubled look made Kei's heart beat faster.
He immediately grabbed Eva's hand and shook it. How can anyone right in the brain resist that charm of her's? Every single one of the members here is extremely charming. Eva, Rachel, and Niel, in particular, were above the rest when it comes to charm.
"It's nice to meet you, Ms. President... By the way how come you know my name?" Kei finally let go of Eva's hand and asked her the thing that bothered him since awhile ago. This was the first time he had met the student council president, so how come she knows him?
"Oh no need to be so formal, you can call me Eva. Also, don't be too surprised that I know your name, I know all the students, faces and names." Before Kei was able to reply, Eva's phone suddenly rang.
"Hi, Eva! The name's Emily I know you already know that👍✌️ You're email add is kinda hard to get into, but I'm still able to do it a bit, not like Alex's email add 😵 Well anyway hope we get along🤝✌️ Oh right no need to message back, just answer normally I hacked into your phone's speaker. No need to be alarmed I will not listen to your private conversations 🙉 "
Eva was a bit shocked when she read Emily's email, but she quickly regained her composure since she already understood Emily's abilities.
"Nice to meet you as well Emily, don't worry I already know you joined this club, so this phone and the email address I'm using are just replacements of my real phone and email address. I know of your abilities so no need to feel bad. I hope to get along with you as well."
When the club members heard what Eva said about using a replaceable phone they all unconsciously looked at her phone. Her phone was the latest smartphone that most celebrities use, and she's saying that's replaceable?
Emily quickly messaged Eva back, "You're pretty scary 😍 I love it!"
When Eva was done greeting the new members, Rachel went near Eva and asked "hey is it alright for you to be here? Are you done with your work?"
Eva smiled at Rachel when the eyes of the two met for some reason one could see an aura of a dragon surrounding Rachel, and the aura of a tiger was being emitted by Eva. Alex couldn't understand how these two ladies who haven't even step foot on the battlefield have such auras. Still, this aura of theirs seems to only show when the two meet.
Alex was a bit impressed by the two and their unyielding personalities. Still, for some reason Alex felt that this was getting a bit dangerous so he went in between the two. Of course, he covered for Rachel since she was the one he was assigned to protect.
Not knowing about the mission, the people who saw Alex had different reactions. Rachel felt a bit touched that Alex sided with her, but after thinking for awhile Rachel remembered that Alex has always sided with her.
Eva felt like her heart might break, but strengthened her resolve, she already knew she was at a disadvantage since the beginning.
Oliver was pretty happy for his comrade, two absolutely gorgeous girls were fawning over him all the time. His comrade also seems to know how to act the way girls like.
Saya who saw the scene was amused to no end, also still questioning why two beautiful girls like such a stoic guy. Well, it didn't really matter to her, as long as none of them go overboard, all things are just for fun.
Niel was already getting used to these interactions between his juniors. So he didn't react too much. aside from showing a, can't be helped, kinda smile.
Kei who was new was bewildered at the situation. The atmosphere was tense... 'Was there something going on between Alex and the student council president as well? Alex is like a protagonist from a VN.'
Emily who couldn't see what was happening couldn't react, she wanted to hack into one of the club member's cameras, but then she thought it was pointless since the owner needed to point the camera to what she wanted to see.
"No need to worry Rachel, I was just here to greet the new members of your club. I'll be returning now... Alex, everyone good day." Eva decided to retreat for now, since she won't be able to gain an advantage anyway.
When Eva left the clubroom, A loud yawn sounded.
"Ok now that your romcom event has ended, how about we start talking about our club activities then." Lyner who was trying to wake himself up spoke. When he saw all the attention was on him Lyner continued speaking. "Emily tell them the club they're going to help next."
Once again an email was received by all the club members, but this time it was in a group chat. Emily created a messenger group called MERC CLUB.
"The next club we will be helping is the Gaming Club."
"Gaming Club?" Alex was the first to ask, which made a lot of them weirded out. Alex today was actually acting kinda sociably.
"The Gaming Club of this school was created to simply enjoy playing video games. But ever since the merit system was implemented the Gaming Club has been in a constant threat of being disbanded. Though the members like playing games, they aren't good enough to win any tournaments. So they have requested the Mercenary Club to help them in their current predicament."
When the club members read Emily's report they started to think who among them here actually knows how to play video games?
Alex had no idea what a video game even was. Oliver knew a bit but not at the level of being able to win a tournament. Saya and Rachel had zero experience with video games. Kei was a normal level player, who plays video games just to pass the time. Only Niel who claims to be good at most everything and Emily who was tech-savvy had the ability to actually win tournaments.
