51 Chapter 50- Ashford Academy

"Today, we will make you pay for the sin of allowing the murderer of Prince Clovis to escape." A golden-haired man said to the blue-haired man with anger on his voice.

When the two arrive where the explosion is, Euphy and Jack saw a Sutherland surrounded by the Britannian army. Euphy was about to step forward but stopped by Jack who shook his head then said. "Don't."

"Cowardly Kewell, you lied about having located Zero!" Jerimiah said in disbelieve.

"Before Her Highness Cornelia arrives, we must cleanse the shame committed by our comrade!"

"Jerimiah, this is a purge!" Kewell said unemotionally.

"Jack!" Then a truck appeared in their side then a blue-haired woman called out for Jack as she hurriedly opens the vehicle door.

"It's dangerous here! Get on!" Cecile said.

"The Purist Faction is now having internal conflict, let's hurry and get out here." A man with lavender hair said with his usual smile.

"Oh, and how unfortunate you were found innocent and released. You'll have to deal with us again." He said while teasing Jack with a playful expression.

"Please wait!" Jack thought that with Lancelot on this kind of situation, using his power can be avoided. Although he can defeat a Knightmare with his body strength, Jack didn't dare to show it as that will be more shocking than using his supernatural power.

"Wouldn't this be a good chance to get battle data on Lancelot?"

"Eh?" Cecile looks at Jack with surprised.

"Oh!" Lloyd laughs as he didn't expect Jack will have an intriguing idea.

"Jack..." On his side, Euphemia looks at him with worry on her eyes.

Jack look at Euphemia with reluctance but knowing that they will meet again in the future. "Sorry, Euphy, this is where we bid farewell."

"I have to go if I have Lancelot, I should be able to stop them, so don't do something reckless confronting a Knightmare." He said in a gentle voice making Euphy unconsciously blush as she nodded with lowered head.

"Are you seriously going to kill me, Kewell?!" Jerimiah shouted.

"Shut up, orange!" Kewell shouted back.

"Why do you think we exist?!"

"It's for the Imperial House, isn't it?!"

Then Kewell and other Britannian soldiers charge at Jerimiah with a spear on their Knightmare sealing his way out. "All Hail Britannia!"

When they are about to pierce Jerimiah, a Slash Harken stopped the movement of their Knightmare that made them shock as they look above and saw a white Knightmare standing proudly.

"Stop, don't fight amongst yourselves as Britannians."

'If you Euphy is not here, do you think I will interfere with your business?' He thought, but when he recalled this scene on the series, Jack remembered that Jerimiah is the victim of this purge that made him change his mind as Jerimiah played an essential role to Lelouch.

Jerimiah looks at it with shock. "That's the Honorary Britannian, the mobile weapon, Lancelot the Reaper!"

Due to its performance in Shinjuku, Lancelot reputation to Britannia and Eleven is high as a mountain. Destroying a Knightmare without the pilot realizing made the Britannia cheer with joy while the Eleven name that Knightmare as death itself.

Although Kewell is a bit terrified, the courage of being Britannian himself made him regain his courage. "What does the special Envoy want?"

"If you're going to interfere, we'll kill you regardless of who you are!" Jack thought that it was funny, but knowing that his status is lower than an ant, he couldn't retort on what they said.

Knowing that Lloyd needs data, Jack took the two swords with both hands attach in the cockpit. "I can't allow a meaningless fight to go on!"

Looking at the sword, Kewell sweated profusely. "MVS (Maser Vibration Sword)?!"

"So they've been put into use..." Although the feeling of death loam Kewell, but the courage to kill Jerimiah was still on his mind.

Aiming his Slash Harken toward Lancelot, the Britinian soldier with Kewell also used their Slash Harken to Lancelot who jumped above them.

Using his sword, Jack shredded their Slash Harken with accurate precision and used his Slash Harken destroying their robotic arms. Arriving on their midst, Lancelot cut their feet separating it on the Knightmares bodies.

Looking at how Lancelot thrash his comrade, Kewell steeled his resolve as he charges toward Jerimiah. "If I can just take out Orange..."

Jerimiah noticed Kewell attack, so he raised his arm guard to block that attack. When Jerimiah Sutherland was about to give in, a Knightmare attack Kewell making him flew in the distance. "Lord Jerimiah."

Looking at the Sutherland who saved him."Villeta? Thanks!"

"Are you still plan on fighting?"

Looking at his companion ruined mobile weapon, Kewell made his decision as he took a capsule and threw it toward them. "I'll use the Chaos depth Charge."

"Stop!" A pink-haired girl suddenly runs toward them, making Jack face change as he flew toward the Chaos Depth Charge cutting it two pieces then used Lancelot Blaze Luminous slapping it toward Kewell and his companion.

Kewell and the Britannian Soldier look at this with a terrified expression as they hurriedly escape. The two containers released a red light as it shoots a lot of bullets on their place. Some unlucky soldiers took a hit dying with unwillingness while Kewell took a severe wound on his right arms making it disabled.

Looking at their condition, Euphy closes her eyes in despair as this is the first time she saw a bloody scene. Jack look at Euphy with concern as he asked. "Are you alright, Euphie?"

He could make the CDC slap on another direction but seeing that Euphy in danger made him quite angry, so Jack decided to teach them a lesson. But knowing Euphy kindness, Jack felt quite guilty as he also doesn't want Euphy to see this bloodied scene.

Euphy steeled her heart as she looks at them with a solemn expression. "Both side, lower your weapon."

Walking toward Kewell ruined Sutherland. "I command you in my name!"

Kewell hearing this, cried out in disbelieve. "I-It can't be!"

"I am the 3rd Princess of Britannia, Euphemia Li Britannia!"

Euphy gaze at them and said. "I'm taking control of this area, step away!"

"As I thought, Her Highness the Princess..." Jerimiah muttered.

"But Princess, that Honorary killed a Britannian Soldier, you should punish this insolent fool for his action!" Suffering from defeat, Kewell didn't back down then use his status to attack Jack.

Seeing the scene, Euphy had the urge to vomit but knowing that Jack will suffer, she thought of a way out of him."Lord Kewell, If this Honorary didn't do that, do you think this Princess will be standing in front of you, right now?"

"Besides taking the account that this Honorary saved me, instead of being punished do you think rewarding him is more suitable?"

"Then what do you think you're punishment after you attempted to kill me?" Euphy looks at Kewell with a grave expression.

Thinking about his action, Kewell face change, blinded by revenge. The fact that he unconsciously attacks Princess Euphemia and almost killed her is undeniable truth, with Jerimiah, Villetta, Cecile, and Lloyd as a witness already made him a sinner that can be beheaded this instant.

"Did you know that, Lloyd?" Cecille said to Lloyd who was leaning toward the door of the ruined building.

"Yeah." Nodding, Lloyd looks at the scene with a smile on his face. Although, Jack killed a Britannian Soldier, the fact that he saved Princess Euphemia will not change.

"She rarely appeared to the public because she was a student."

"Please let me at least kill myself so that this subject can repay its crime, Your Highness!" Kewell raised his spear to penetrate his Sutherland.

But a white robotic hand stopped the spear making Kewell dumbfounded.

"Did I order you to commit suicide?" Euphy looks at him with tears on her eyes.

"I am truly sorry, your Highness!" Kewell made his Sutherland kneel in respect while his surviving companion follows suit.

Getting down from Lancelot, Jack approach Euphy with a smile on his face. "Forgive me I've been extremely rude to you."

Euphy turned her head to look at Jack and said. "Just as you have lost your father, I have lost my older brother, Clovis."

"Will you lend me your strength so that no others have to lose those dear to them?" Euphy smiled.

Jack made a slight smile as he kneeled in front of her. "Yes! Your kind words are more than I am worthy of!"

After the incident, Euphemia bid her farewell to meet her older sister Cornelia Li Britannia. Knowing that he couldn't meet Euphemia for awhile, Jack decided to go with Lloyd and Cecile.

"Hey, Jack why don't you go to school?" Cecile suddenly said.

"Heh, why would I?" Jack said without any hint of interest.

"Hm, you need to at least graduate to High School, so your Bio-Data is good to look. Furthermore, our operation will be minimal because we are special Envoy participating a mission that didn't need a Knightmare isn't needed, so while you're free why don't you take this time to study?" Cecile said in a gentle voice.

Jack nodded as he thought it interesting.

"Then, I will process your application to the school."

Looking at Cecile who happily applied him to school, Jack made a wry smile as the event happen on this past week made him quite exhausted, so he fell asleep as soon as he lies on his bed.

Early in the morning, Jack made his way to Ashford Academy the students didn't notice his presence due to him using the Psychic Force. Entering the faculty to ask for his class, Jack followed the teacher to his classroom. Standing in front of the student who was four years older than him, Jack felt slightly nervous as this is the first time he attended a class for high school. Although he already read a lot of book regarding this world education, some of the information that the book provides is not accurate.

Lelouch seemingly notices Jack presence then look at him with shock. 'What is he doing here!?'

Lelouch tried to avoid Jack, but fate seems to be not on his side, as his wish didn't happen and only got worse as they attended the same school now.

'Tsk, more people to wary of.' Lelouch massages his temple as he looks at Jack who smiled back at him.

"From today on, I will be a student at Ashford Academy."

"I'm Jack, please to meet you!" An arc appeared on his lips as he looks at Lelouch with a teasing smile.
