Code Geass FF Chapter 98

Holy week, holy week!

Tsk tsk...

Sigh...

*****

"Really?! Her Majesty is really great!" The principal almost exclaimed loud enough to attract attention from the others. "Right. Sorry about that sir Aston. I was just really shock and surprised.

Oh, about mock battles. We did do a few of them.

The specific sequence of what we did is first, we tested every student using the simulator.

Then, we let them have a mock battle using it.

The few students who excelled among them got the opportunity to practice with a really knightmare frame.

Sir Aston, you know that we only have a few Ganymede knightmare frame here so we are really being very careful at using them.

Even the instructors can only use them a few times a week and not more, this is only available for the piloting instructors too and not the others.

Even I have not tried riding one myself.

Sigh, even this old bones get's quite excited when thinking about this giant robots, you know.

Anyways, we did not let the student have a mock battle using the real knightmare frames as we don't have spares or staff who can repair it.

We submitted an application for this kind of personnel but we were denied very quickly." the principal said in a long grumble and rant getting a bit emotional.

"Oh right, sorry about that. There really are only a few personnel who can do that.

And most of them are in the front lines to service the knightmare frames on duty.

We don't really have enough people right now.

Sigh...

Alright! Let's make do with the simulator for now.

I am quite confident with the simulator anyway, I am the one who made it after all.

Let's just make it a bit more flashy and festive!

Come! I will connect two simulators into a projector so that we can watch the fight on a big screen!

Let's make this a tradition!" I said a bit loudly with excitement on my face as thinking about watching a mech battle, even though only in a simulator, is really exciting for me right now.

"Alright, sir Aston! Let me prepare everything myself.

You just have to connect everything later.

Sigh...

Thankfully, there is quite a wide and tall wall in here, this should be enough to use as a screen for the projector right?" The principal asked me as he gestured to the other school staffs.

"This wall is enough. You should have the students who will be fighting later to prepare now.

They should do their best and let her Majesty see their excellence as she might take some of them under her wings later." I said calmly.

"Right! Why don't you let her majesty sit?! Sir Aston?" the principal asked in a very cautious way.

"Wait, let me ask first. Her majesty said to me before that she does not need to sit but... anyways." I said before standing up to go close to Marianne who is just at our back a few feet away, acting as a guard.

"Yes, sure, sure." the principal said before going off to do his thing.

"Hey, Marianne? You really don't want to sit? I already told the old principal who you are.

He might become angry with me for letting you stand here." I said to Marianne in a slightly teasing tone.

"Fine! but I will just sit at your side, still as a bodyguard alright.

I don't wanna be surrounded by people here.

It is really too troublesome to be so famous.

I shouldn't have agreed to televise my wedding and coronation.

Tsk tsk...

I can't even go out on a stroll now." Marianne ranted and complained. "Right, how's the mock battle that I want to see?"

"About that..." I said while prolonging the wait to make a suspense like atmosphere.

"Just say it already." Marianne said with an eye roll, this time, she is the one feeling exasperated.

"Hehehe... Alright." I laughed at first before continuing. "They can't use the real knightmare frames here for a mock battle."

"What?! Why?" Marianne exclaimed in frustration.

Then I again laughed before explaining everything without mentioning about the simulations.

Hehehe...

"And that's why real knightmare frame battle is a no go." I said faking a sad smile, trying not to laugh.

"But, but! What about my mock battle!

Here I thought that there will finally be something exciting.

Sigh..." Marianne said with a sigh as her excitement had finally dampened. "Maybe, we should just go back now."

"There will be a simulation battle though. Do you not want to see that?" I said with a raised brow and a really teasing smile.

"Hmph! Why didn't you say so earlier!" Marianne said while giving me a few jabs as she really felt the frustration coming up.

"Sir Aston, everything had been prepared. We only needed your input now." The principal said to me, very excitedly.

"Let's go! Right, let me use a laptop. I will make a specific application for this, so you can do this kind of thing by yourself later." I said with generosity and confidence in my face. "Remember to not meddle into the programming of the simulators and this application yourself though.

The knowledge that I will use in this is top secret right now as it is part of the latest advancements as of now so I will encrypt everything.

The simulators itself contains the exact parameters of the Ganymede knightmare frame so this thing is also quite a protected thing.

The simulators would not have been let out at all if not for our empire needing more excellent pilots."

"Yes, sir Aston. I will remember that! You don't have to worry!

We were also warned about this by the people who delivered this simulation devices and also by the military when they inspected everything and everyone.

After all, this academy is can also be considered as a part of the military.

I just did not expect that this simulator really have something so important as the knightmare frame information.

Are we really allowed to have it and use it?

The knightmare frames are our empires ultimate weapon right now, after all.

We should be more cautious with this things." The principal said in a very serious many with a very stern look in his face.
