Code Geass FF chapter 99

I did what I have to do and the tourney started!

Let the gladiators come and entertain me!

Buwahahaa!

Jokes aside...

Everyone is excited to watch this knightmare frame battles.

And so it started very quickly.

But in the end...

Both me and Marianne got bored of it.

We ignored one small detail it seems.

And this detail seems to be not really small.

There is only the Ganymede knightmare frame to use in the simulator!

It is really not exciting to watch this last gen knightmare frame's battle at all for the two of us.

Sigh...

"We really forgot that they only have the Ganymede model to use right now." I said to Marianne who is sitting beside me.

"Yeah... It is really... Sigh..." Marianne said with a sigh. "At least, I can see who among them is quite good.

I will just convince myself with this.

Tsk tsk..."

This continued for a few minutes as this event really seems to have become a tournament, as the style of the battles is in this way.

The battles became more and more excellent as the best pilots started fighting each other after defeating that weak one's earlier.

"Oh! This one's good!" Marianne suddenly exclaimed as she saw that one guy almost had the same fighting style as she did.

The sounds of the battle is sounding out in this whole hall as everyone immersed in themselves in watching the battles.

Some students are cheering, some are booing.

"Right, It seems that there really are some really good pilots here.

And here I thought that the first batch of this academy will fail or will only be able to produce some cannon fodder type of pilots.

Most of this guys should be able to at least become a zaku ignited type of pilot." I thought out loud.

"Huh? What is zaku ignited?" Marianne asked with curiosity as she apparently heard me even when everyone is being loud from all the cheering and booing.

"Oh! It's nothing. It's just som kind of term I gave to the slightly better version of the mass produced mechs that th elite will mostly pilot." I said dismissively, trying to ignore and stop the topic from being discussed more.

'I did not lie though. Zaku ignited really is something that only the elite pilots can use.

This mobile suit is from the first gundam and gundam seed, used by zeon and zaft.

Although it is really for the elite, it is still a mass produced mech with only a slightly higher parameters than the normal mass produced one.

Right, mobile suits...

What country should I give the starting design of mobile suits?' I thought to myself as I continued watching the battles in the projector.

"Hmm... Okay." Marianne said after looking at me for a moment, not continuing to ask about the topic.

Sigh...

She really started understanding me more now.

Should I let her in on some more secrets?

Will she even go with me when the time comes?

I did all the planning that I will need to save her later but everything is base on the premise that she will stay with me.

Let's not think about this for now.

"Woohoo! Yeah!" The loud cheering resounded as the final match is about to begin.

The fight is between someone called Charles Ashenville and Reynald Amereci.

This two names sounds familiar, hmm...

Charles is the top student, by the way.

He was the one who charismatically did a speech earlier after the principal.

Base from all the talks I am hearing right now.

He is from a fallen noble house.

He has a black slightly long hair, slightly wavy too.

He graduated in an elite school here in the empire, majoring in political science and excelled in any fighting or military subjects.

He is a commoner right now but he is like the perfect nobility or politician.

Then this Reynald is someone who is like my current identity.

He studied abroad, it seems, and graduated majoring in mechanical and computer engineering.

I heard some of them saying that this Reynald can even adjust the parameters of the knightmare frame to suit himself.

Really a genius, the both of them.

This Reynald is not one of the top students though.

Let me ask the principal why.

"Mister principal? Why is this Reynald not one of the top students? I think that he really is much better than the others in terms of battling with knightmare frames." I asked to the principal who is beside me too, just on the other side while Marianne is on the other one.

"Well... How to say... We don't only base the grade on fighting ability, sir Aston.

This student, Reynald, is one of those students who is really only good at doing a few things but quite average or out right bad at other things.

Unlike student Charles who is almost excellent at everything.

Sigh...

This Charles is really the most excellent student the we have right now.

While Student Reynald is the only one who can stand against him in a battle." the principal said with a fake wry smile but still can't hide how proud and confident he is about the students in his school.

"Hmmm... Okay." I just said dismissively as the battle is about to start.

The speakers are also connected to the coms that the two simulators are using so the conversation between the participants in battle can also be heard by everyone.

"Char! This time! I will defeat you in front of everyone!" Reynald shouted in the coms.

"Ha! You're dreaming! You are century too early to think about defeating me!" Charles shouted back as they started dashing towards each other.

Both with a sword and an smg in a knightmare frame scale.

They started shooting at each other as they then swayed and circled around the field they are fighting in.

The sound of shooting and bulleting passing by or hitting the ground can be heard.

They continued like that in a stalemate until they both saw that they are almost out of ammunition.

Almost at the same time.

They dash towards each other closer in a swaying motion before throwing their guns at each other when they are already in throwing distance.

Reynald slashed the gun that Charles threw at him while Charles just slapped the one that he threw.
