At the same time…At the rooftop, Uriel lies on his back watching the clouds when suddenly…
“You don’t like to participate in Assemblies? Uriel Di Fiore…” Uriel hears the voice of a young man who has a Romanian accent. He raises his body and turns around:
“No, I find them pointless, what about you? Ian Constantin?”
Ian walks towards him; “No, I wanted to talk to you about something…”
“What is it?”
“Uriel...I came here to the Borderland on behalf of my master Darius…” Ian mentions Darius’ name, Uriel stands up with a serious expression asks:
“Darius ehh...and what is your purpose here?”
“Not much...I was sent here from Romania to eliminate you...Charro Negro…”
“Is that so? Then, have you come here with the Shadowtamer to attack the school?”
Ian begins to laugh; “Hell no...I could care less about this school, you see I have a goal and that is to become a stronger by facing strong opponents, in Romania, I defeated several of the “Undead” and when Master Darius mentioned about a certain foe who defeated a level 2 Shadow and wanted to come and see what can you do against a level 3…”
Uriel is surprised to hear that and asks; “Level 3? So are you a Shadow as well?”
“Indeed, I am what people from Yggdrasil call Level 3...:”
“So, do you want to fight me now?” Uriel makes a fist and begins to release mana, Ian laughs once more; “If we fight here, we will destroy the whole school and kill everyone inside...I don’t think you would want that right?”
“You got a point but don’t worry, I will fight you anytime…”
Ian leaves as he says; “Very well, I look forward to that...for now let’s enjoy our happy student life…”
For the rest of the day, Valerie and Alejandro went to each classroom and club room to present themselves in order to gain the trust of the students...however…
“Aww man, even though we went to all the classes, we still didn’t get the support we wanted…” Alejandro looks down, Valerie smiles at him:

“Come on Alejandro, I mean it’s just the first day...so don’t worry...tomorrow will be another day and I have a plan ready let’s go…”
Valerie pulls Alejandro’s arm as they head towards the exit. Marjorie looks at them from the Student Council window located on the second floor.
She sighs and asks Aleister:
“Hey Aleister...shouldn’t we have gone to the classrooms to present ourselves?"
Aleister laughs and stands up; “Marjorie, you can’t possibly believe they can beat us, right?”
“....” Marjorie does not answer, Aleister gets closer to Marjorie and holds her chin:
“Marjorie...my dear Marjorie...stop thinking stupid stuff, you know I have more important things to do than worrying about a stupid competition.”
Marjorie begins to feel chills down her spine as Aleister gets close to her and whispers:
“Be a nice girlfriend and stop bothering me…”
“I’m...sorry…” Marjorie is scared at him, she stands and with a fake smile says:
“Sorry but I have to go...I’ll see you tomorrow…”
(RRRIIINNNGGG)
Aleister’s cell phone rings, he looks at it and sees that it’s a call from Darius:
“Father, I’m busy right now…”
“Aleister, I received an important message from “them” and the Third Hour wants to speak to you about your request...all that I can say is that you were approved…”
Aleister makes a sinister smile as he feels joy; “Excellent...things are going according to plan…”
At the competition, the popularity polls of acceptance posted on the board of the school say:
Aleister and Marjorie: 90%
Alejandro and Valerie: 10%
*****************************************************************
February 11th; 3 days until Valentines, Sun City International Highschool
The second of Valentine's week began with a surprise event that no one imagined…
(GGGYYYYAAHHHH)
The girls of the classroom where Kasumi Miyazono teaches are out of control thanks to a certain question…The girls of the classroom are excited with the boys looking jealous.
"Wait, can you repeat what you just said?" Victoria, who is in the middle of the circle, asks with her heartbeat rising. Uriel who is in front of her, repeats the questions:

"I said...will you go to the Valentine's dance with me?"
Everyone is in shock, Angela looks at him and thinks; "I never thought he would ask someone out?"
Marjorie puffs her cheeks thinking; "Well good for them...I guess…"
Kasumi has a "red aura" of jealousy coming out of her as she thinks:
"Come down...this is only part of his plan…"
"YES YES YES" Victoria jumps filled with joy. Uriel without making any expression says:
" Okay then...do you want me to go to your house?"
"No...I will be staying with a friend...let's meet in front of the school at 9 pm…"
(RRIINNGGG)
The bell rings, Uriel turns around and says:
"Very well...have a nice day…"
Uriel leaves the classroom with Alejandro running behind him. Victoria goes down on her knees as she thinks:
"I was so nervous...but he actually chose me…."
Angela and Marjorie look at her with "auras" of jealousy coming out of them; "This is not over yet…"
Meanwhile…
“Hey Uriel, was it okay to invite Victoria to the dance? I mean, wouldn’t Angela be a better choice or some other girl...remember that Victoria has a connection with Aleister…” Alejandro asks Uriel as both of them head towards their next class.
“Victoria is perfect, the reason is...she talks a lot and she wouldn’t suspect our plan…”
“I see...well I hope you know what you’re doing…”
“Anyway, you must concentrate on winning that contest…”
“Uriel, do you think I can win? I mean, I'm going against Aleister…” Alejandro says with a worried expression, Uriel sighs with his eyes close and replies:
“Don’t be a fool, I know you can win...besides you have Valerie with you, so don’t make her cry...otherwise…”
Uriel looks at Alejandro with an angry expression, Alejandro gets nervous and laughs:
“No, no, I know we can win...don’t worry...I won’t make her cry…” Alejandro stops walking for a moment as he think:
“Despite being cold...you care for your sister a lot huh...Uriel…”
For the second day….Valerie and Alejandro put a great sign that said:
Vote for Valerie and Alejandro
They decided to hand out some chocolates to the students who were going to lunch...this action brought a better result because at the end of the day the polls were:
