-Here, put it with the other." I said as I handed Clive a form I had just filled up before moving on to writing a report to the director about how the student's opinion on the latest event we had organized.

-O-okay." Answered Clive as he grabbed the piece of paper and moved it to the correct folder. "Th-thanks for helping us." He added with a genuine tone and a bit of bittersweet smile. "It hasn't exactly been easy to deal with everything after what happened to the president and Wykes."

Staying silent, I didn't answer, mostly because I found everyone's attitude irritating, especially his. It had barely been three days since Lucas got kidnapped, and that idiot vice-president did jack-shit to take care of Hanna's work in her absence, and neither did he try to explain the situation to the other students to calm them down. Meanwhile, I had to do about fifty different emergency meeting with the top executives of Unity to explain the whole other continent thing, led by some dick head who thinks they're a god, with an army of half bred demi-asura, which also meant I had to explain the whole Asura thing with the dragons and how they are supposed to help us, but really just see us as pawns to be played around with. And then I had to tell them about all fancy Alacryan magic with their stupid crest and the different way they organize their army, plus the Scythes and Retainers I knew of along with other miscellaneous information about Alacryan's political system with the high-blood and about their advances technologies with steam powered boats, which I am only now realizing they probably don't have since they got it from the Dicatheous which was made by Gideon based on Art's design and that there was no way for them to have gotten the knowledge otherwise. Regardless, the most important part was that they all believed with without a second of hesitation. Which made me wonder if I had just become very good at talking, or if my followers have just a blind trust in whatever I say, or if they think I went insane and just got really good at pretending to care.

EITHERWAY, beyond the fact that I might have accidentally started YET another major change in the word after introducing the idea of the steam engine and the train to the world, I already had a lot of work on my plate and would have really loved not to have to take over Hanna's workload while also having to comfort her both as Tessia and Unity.

-Next one." I commanded while slapping the five-page analysis I had just written on the desk.

-You're really good at this." Commented Lilia with a genuinely impressed tone as she handed me another pile of documents.

-I have a lot of experience." I answered, almost snapped back before focusing on my work.

-Whoa, I had no idea who were helping your father in Elenoir, that's so cool." She answered as I got stunned for a second wondering what she was talking about, before realizing that it was the only logical conclusion she could come to since she had no idea I was Unity or that I had been working as the student council president in my past life.

-Y-yeah." I answered with a hesitant node of my head before getting back to work.

Seeing Lilia stay up in front of my desk from the corner of my eyes, I waited with ever-growing irritation for her to speak up.

-You know you can take a break, Tessia." She said, as I rolled my eyes at her statement and only answered a sarcastic "yeah", only for her to keep waiting, which only annoyed me more.

-That's part of the operation is false, fix it." I said, while throwing a notebook at Jarrod.

-It's okay to be worried about your friends, and angry at what happened, but you shouldn't push yourself like this because of it." She added as her concern only made me more annoyed

-Thanks." I answered while making it abundantly clear that I wanted her gone and silent as I pushed a large chunk of paper on her before moving on to the next.
