Code Geass FF Chapter 97

The thing about Africa can't be done yet.

Although I really wanna do it already.

But the circumstances aren't right, so I will just let things be for now.

Anyways, Let go back to the present!

I am currently in the end of the term ceremony for the first batch first year of the knightmare frame piloting Academy that was made for the commoners.

I don't really know why I am invited here but I still came because Marianne pestered me to come with her.

The principal's and the top student's speech just ended so we will be going out of the auditorium and into a hall where they arranged a catering for everyone, including the students.

There are many people here right now.

Marianne got quite bored already though.

I don't know what she is thinking about when she thought of attending this ceremony, it would have been better if it is the graduation of this students but it will only happen a few more years later.

And now she is currently pulling onto my sleeve trying to take my attention to tell me something.

"What is it, my Empress?" I asked with an eye roll as I too am bored, I feel like I even napped a little, unknowingly, while the speech earlier is happening.

"This place is too boring!" Marianne said in a whisper with wide eyes for exaggeration.

"Of course! What are you expecting from an end of term ceremony of a school?

Even if there is a party later, it will only be for those students to enjoy themselves, alright.

Why did you even want to go here?" I asked with exasperation with my own widened eyes to show what I feel.

"I thought there would be a mech battle! This is a mech piloting academy!

Why aren't they having a mech battle for the end of terms?!

That's just blasphemy!" Marianne said in a very exaggerated, frustrated way.

"Oh? Now that you said that, it seems that, that really is the case?

So, what do you plan to do?

You can't just ask them to have a mech battle right?" I said to her with a hint of a realization and an eye roll.

"That right! I will just ask them! Hehehe...

I am the Empress after all!" Marianne exclaimed after she heard what I said to her then she started walking to the school higher ups to talk about it.

"Wait! I will do the talking first!

We don't even know if they have started piloting knightmare frames already.

They might just be going through the theory and the general knowledge of knightmare frames as of yet.

Let's first ask them what they had thought the students in this first term before asking about a battle." I said to her as I caught her arm to stop her from directly asking for a mech battle.

So I let go of her arm before moving towards the people in charge of the school.

"Mister Aston! It is really good that you gave some time to attend this first end of term ceremony with us.

Thank you for your support!" The principal said as he bowed to express gratitude before offering some tea and a seat together with him. "Here, have some tea, please..."

"It's fine, I am just here to take a look the first batch of people who are specially trained to pilot a knightmare frame.

Oh right!" I said in a veery calm manner with a fake slight smile before whispering. "Her majesty, the empress is with me. She is the one following me with a mask.

She came to show some support as she also quite like piloting a knightmare frame, herself."

"What?!" The principal exclaimed a bit loud but manage to stop himself from making a commotion as he quickly calmed down. "What is her Majesty doing here? Does sir Aston know why she came?"

He is someone in a high position after all, so it was already quite a pre requisite to have this much of an ability.

Now that I think about it, real people from the high places are not really as idiotic as the one's I've read from Chinese web novels and other such things.

They do have something they are good at, specially here in Britannia where the elitist culture is wide spread.

You would not really be able to snag a higher position without any ability at some point.

That's why I am not really underestimating anyone who got a high position here, for they should have their own merits.

I think that the only time that they will act like an idiot is when they got emotional or got into a situation where they don't know what to do.

But this is normal for every human, right?

Humans normally do stupid things when they got emotional or is in said situations.

They don't have an ability like mine where I can think logically even when I am rampaging like an insane berserker.

"Of course. It is only the same as me, so you don't really have to have any worry.

For now, let me ask you.

What are the things you have thought the student as of now?" I asked in a low voice with a genuine slight smile while Marianne remained standing behind me.

That's right, she is disguising as my bodyguard right now.

It is because she was not invited and have chosen to hitch a ride with me instead of crashing into the ceremony like a tyrant Empress.

She is not really uncomfortable with that as she did experience being a bodyguard when she was a knight before.

"We thought the students the basics of the knightmare frame.

I don't know how I should extrapolate in this subject as this is really quite widespread.

We even thought them some survival knowledge just incase and other things such as how to effectively use the coms, etc.

If you can, please be more specific, sir Aston?" The principal said calmly and very professional, showing some his excellence in front of the Empress.

But the Empress doesn't care anyway, let's just not say it to him directly though.

"Alright then, hmm... Have you let the students do some mock battles on a real knightmare frame?

Even just the simulator I made before is also good.

The Empress is expecting to see a mock battle to gauge how good the students at piloting knightmare frames in a battle.

You heard some rumors about the Empress being an excellent knightmare frame pilot right?

That rumor is true! Her Majesty is not just excellent, she is the best pilot that the Empire has right now.

Even better than sir knight of one, sir Bismarck." I said in a very quiet whisper.
