Although Rode was quite familiar with Moonlight Knight Olivia, Olivia wasn't familiar with him. They had only met a few times and danced together once in the Hall of Fire. Other than that, they had no real interaction.

The only connection they had was that Rode had been a student of Senior Knight Soren, who was both Olivia's subordinate and admirer.

Honestly, Rode had no confidence in how much this relationship would help him.

Sure enough, Soren directly rejected his request.
