IS Academy.
It was a seemingly normal Monday morning for the students of class 1-1. Charlotte had arrived a little earlier than usual. She saw the students come in as the time for class to started to approach. She saw that Houki was exhausted when she entered the class. She was able to wobble to her desk before she collapse on the floor. Charlotte knew that Houki was called by Orimura-sensei to talk about about her actions two nights ago. She gained a newfounded fear for the teacher. Class was about to start, but Charlotte noticed that there was no sign of Seth, but Samus was here. Chifuyu had just entered the room when the PA system came on.
"Attention all students of IS Academy this is the student council president. After homeroom is finished, please come to the gymnasium for a special announcement regarding the academies education. I thank you for your partition in advance." Seth said over the PA system. This got the class wonder what was going to happen, but Chifuyu silenced them fairly quickly. After homeroom, the students of the class got up and moved towards the gymnasium. This was the first time, Seth, acting as the student council president made an assembly. Given how most of the students had a mixed view on the man, this was going to be a interesting meeting to say the least.
As the students flooded the room, the lights began to dim, and the stage came life. Seth moved towards the potiem.
"Good morning everyone. Thank you for coming here on such short notice. I have important information regarding your education here at the academy. As you know within the last year, IS academy has endured many hardships. From attacks from terrorist groups to rogue IS attacks you have been witness to many events that no one should go through, nonetheless we have persevere. However, because of these events the school will be getting some necessary upgrades." Suddenly a hologram of the school appeared.
"To begin, during the month long break, the academy will receive several upgrades and defensive measures. This will include adding anti-air batteries that will be able to protect from rogue IS units or other hostile forces. As such we will need all students and faculty to leave the academy for construction. If you are unable to return to your home countries please inform the student council and we will accommodate you." The holograms shifted to a display of battle droids, a squadron of troops, along with several starfighters, and [Q.U.A.S.A.R.] units.
"In order to protect the students, the Empire will be stationing one garrison of Imperial forces at the academy, however they will be station in a section of the academy separate from the student sections, so you shouldn't see them, unless they are required to defend the academy. However, the teachers of the academy will need to undergo training in order to work effectively with the imperial forces. More information will be sent to your email address regarding this." The hologram shifted once more towards a image of the academy.
"In regards to the student's education, I have continued my predecessor's agenda and after some negotiation with the international IS board, the academy will be shifting to a four year institution in order to hone your talents even more. However, the current 3rd years will be allowed to graduate this year should they wish, as I know some of you have already secure positions within IS companies or your respective governments and we will not deny you of this opportunity. But we have a surprise." Suddenly the hologram shifted to a live feed from the moon. There were hundreds of IS cores, but unlike the grayish core, these had a green tint to them.
"The Empire will be lending its core so that each student will have a personal unit while they are a student at the academy. Hopefully you can convince your home nations to supply you with a exoskeleton suit. If this is not possible the Empire does have several mass production prototypes that we would be more than happy to gain test pilots." Before Seth could say more to the last point, the room erupted into cheer.
"WE'RE GETTING OUR OWN UNIT!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED MY OWN UNIT!"
"IS THIS A DREAM?! I MUST BE DREAMING!"
"AHHHHH!"
The girls were uncontrollable. Many of these girls only got to use the world's most dangerous machine during allocated practice sessions and even then only got to use them in tournaments against more skilled opponents. They barely got to use the suits on their own as there was always a long wait list and seniors had priority.
"Ladies?" Seth said trying to get the girls to calm down, but it was to no avail. Their excitement was uncontrollable. Seth knew he had to get the group under control if he wanted to have enough time for his demonstration
"FUS!" Seth shouted at the crowd and a pressure wave gained the attention of said crowd. While the crowd was confused, Seth cleared his throat and continued.
"I need to inform you all, that this core loan program has not been approved by the IS international board yet and the terms are still being negotiated and it will be most likely at least 3 months before the cores and their units arrive, but during this time I want you to start asking your home nations to see if sponsorship is a possibility. So we have an alternative in the meantime. This is it." Seth said as he brought up a Amusphere headset. Naturally this spark interest in the crowd that didn't know what this device was.
"We called this the Amusphere and it's a virtual reality device. But this is nothing like the current VR headsets on the open market. It uses a process we call Full-Dive. This fully engulfs the mind of the user, thus allowing all the senses to be simulated. Slight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste all of these and more are utilize, creating an experience so realistic, you might just forget which world is the real one." Seth said as the curtain behind him opened up and four chairs appeared with three of them occupied. Samus, Akikaze, and Peashy each currently had a headset on their heads. Seth approach the trio.
"As you can see the operator is fully immersed by the device and is completely unaware about the outside world." To bring his point home Seth raised up both Akikaze and peashy's arms. The father shook the arms of the two children to see if he could get a reaction from them. He could not. Seth then proceeded to sit down in the open chair and grabbed the headset. Several hologram screens appeared and four video feeds appeared with one saying no signal.
"Today we will be showing you three different scenarios. Watch the camera feeds with close attention. The first one is Samus's and she will using the IS suit simulation. The second one will be of the children and using the amusphere for gaming. Finally I will be running a more recreational applications." Seth said as he placed the helmet on his head.
"Link Start." Seth said as he laid in the chair and the video feed came to life. One the monitor they saw a white screen suddenly fill as a lush tropical beach and Seth's virtual form began to walk on the sandy beach. He materialized a drink and sat on a beach chair. He laid back as a hologram appeared in front of him with four feeds on it. Three of them were the same that the audience were watching, while the last one was a live feed of the auditorium.
"Let's take a look at the what most of you will be using this machine for." Seth said as he main the live feed from Samus's headset the main one.
IS Battle Simulation.
Samus inside of [Varia] and was fighting off against several enemy [S.T.A.R.S.] units. Samus was already engaged in a battle with the group of five unmanned machines, when several [C.O.M.E.T.] units joined the battle. Samus changed her arm cannon from its power beam configuration to its nova beam and equipped her X-ray visor. She began to target key weak points within the unmanned units, destroying several of them. But as she turned to fire on another unit, she was struck in the back by a volley of blaster bolts by one of the [S.T.A.R.S.] units miniguns. As she returned fired, she was charged at by a [C.O.M.E.T.] and it had an impact punch ready, but her shield bits protected her from the attack. She fired a super missile at the first [S.T.A.R.S.] unit that attacked her. She focused her attention on the [C.O.M.E.T.] and swapped out her Nova beam to her Annihilator beam. The antimatter weapon locked on to the unmanned machine and unleashed a charged blast of her beam. The circle of dark and light energy flew true towards it target and it destroyed the [C.O.M.E.T.].
She narrowly avoided a jab from an energy blade that was deployed from a nearby [S.T.A.R.S.] unit. However, before it would try to pull away, Samus latched onto the machine with her free arm and began to spin forward, activating her screw attack. Samus attacked the other nearby unmanned machines.
In the other virtual world, Seth saw that Samus was doing very well against. Her robotic opponents. So he opened up a hologram menu and began to fiddle around.
"As you can see, Samus is able told hold her own against several enemy units. However, the point of this device is to test pilots to their limits. As such, the teachers will be able to alter the battle as the situation arises. Watch as I demonstrate as I load a new enemy for her." Seth said as his hands began to danced across the hologram screen.
As the former bounty hunter, now imperial pilot, had blasted the last of the unmanned machines, she saw something was spawning in her world.
"So, one last opponent. Fine." Samus said as she changed her arm cannon into it's ice beam configuration. She was charging her beam, readying a Ice Spreader shot. When the outline of [B.L.A.Z.E.] appeared she was about to begin opening fire, but it began to glow a bright blue. She narrowly avoid a beam of phazon as the virtual Dark Seth appeared.
"He add this to the program?!" Samus said as Dark Seth closed in with both of her energy blades deployed. Samus attempted to blast the virtual terror, but this proved futile. Samus brought out her one energy blade and caught the two phazon blades. However, her blade began to melt. Samus knew that she couldn't hold off this simulated being with this factor in play. She used ignition boost to launch herself away from the blue being.
She charged a plasma beam, but before she could fire, she was pelted with a barrage of beam energy bolts from the virtual phazon being. Samus readied herself for another attack when the world around her disappeared, as did her machine and her powersuit. It was traded for a swimsuit and a red flower spawned in her hair. Her world shifted to the beach Seth was currently reclining on.
"Sit over here." Seth said as he spawned a second chair next to him. Samus made her way towards the newly formed chair. As she was sitting, her gaze was faced towards her husband and saw him watching Aki and Peashy playing in their world. It was a game called 'Tamindustri online" and it used information from some of Seth travels to other worlds to create a unique world full of adventure. It used the world seed engine like ALO and GGO.
Tamindustri
In this world Akikaze was dressed as novice mage with a wooden staff in his hands, and blue robes with golden highlights, while the hyperactive blonde girl was dressed in a outfit similar to her real world one. But instead of the bee inspired design with the yellow pattern, this one was inspired by the humble tiger with a slightly different yellow shade hoodie. She had a red and black combat skirt allowing her to move easily and underneath the hoodie she had was wearing a plate of leather armor. Her fist with covered with metal gauntlets that were inscribed with magic runes.
Currently the two were in the midst of a battle with group of Dogoo. Peashy was using her brawler class skills as the standard melee attack was having little to no effect with the gelentis bodies of the blue goo dogs. So the duty of eliminating the majority of the Dogoos fell to Akikaze with his magic spells.
"Els ghir nee fuuu!" Akikaze said as he unleashed a wide area wind spell, slicing apart a majority of the dogoos in one go. Aki was happy he was able kill the virtual monsters in one go, but someone didn't share the same sentiment.
"AKI! That's no fair!" Peashy shouted at the confused boy.
"Pea-chan?"
"Hmmmh!" Peashy pouted as she wanted to fight the monster.
"Sorry?" Aki said sheepishly. Peashy was brought out of her mood when she noticed that the group of monsters dropped two chest.
"Treasure!" Peashy said as she rushed towards the closest chest and began to open it. Since Peashy had picked out her chest, Aki made his way towards the unattended one. When Peashy opened her she got everal potions, and a few hundred golden coin. She turned her head and saw Aki pulling out a brand new set of ropes, that were white with golden highlights. The small child grew jealous of this fact and was about to protest at how this situation isn't fair when Aki equipped the ropes and used his staff to create several spears of ice and launched them towards her. She ducked and wondered why Aki would fire on her. They were friends, but she noticed that the spears target weren't her, but in fact there was a tall man in a strange suit of armor with a scary looking metal mask and a set piercing yellow predator eyes with solid black slits. The man in armor made an impressive jump and his talon like feet embedded themselves into and bark of a nearby tree.
"Your reaction time is impressive." The two children heard the man in armor cough before he continued.
"I am Major Malevolence, a knight in the oblivion king's army. Young adventures, this is your end." The Major suddenly drew two of the four swords on his back and took a stance.
"Huh, that isn't supposed to be in this demo?" Seth said to a surprised Samus.
"It's not."
"I wanted the kids to play against easy opponents. That's a mid tier boss for the game. Way too high level for them. We should help them." Seth said as he opened a portal to Tamindustri.
"Wouldn't it be better to stop the game outright?" Samus asked.
"Where's the fun in ending the game so soon, Princess." Seth stated before entering the portal. Samus soon follow after her husband.
The two of them had spawned nearby Akikaze and Peashy location. The two of them looked at each other's avatar. Seth was using his ALO appearance, with the impish purple hair and red eyes, while Samus took on a more traditional appearance of an elf. With her long flowing blonde hair and pointed ears, along with her fair skin tone. The only thing that was different from her normal appearance, asides the ear, was that her eyes were an emerald green. As for weapons, Samus wielded a enchanted bow, while Seth had two single handed swords in his.
As for their armor, Seth was wearing a light amount of chest armor and hand guards, but aside from that his armor was very light and allowed him a lot of mobility. Samus had no armor, but instead she wore a brown tank top that had her midriff showing with a sage green cloak covering the rest of her body.
"I'll head out, find a good spot to provide overwatch, princess."
"You got it, bae." Seth was about to leave, when he realized what Samus just say.
"What did you call me?" The emperor said.
"You call me princess, so I thought I should give you a nickname. No good?"
"Well, bae is just really common."
"Hmm, what about boo?"
"I don't think that works." Seth said.
"Ah! I got it. Henry."
"Why?" Seth asked confused.
"Well, didn't Henry the 8th of England marry multiple wives, and it matches the royalty theme with 'Princess'."
"He did have several wives, but he didn't have them all at once. He wanted to have a divorce after being unable to make a male heir, but the catholic church didn't allow his request. So he made the church of england, but even with this, Henry couldn't make a male heir so he beheaded his second wife so he could try again with a different woman. And again and and again till he reached number eight."
"Oh, I misread it."
"Atlas." Seth suddenly said to his wife.
"Atlas?" Samus asked amused.
"He was a titan condemned by Zeus to hold up the sky for all eternity when the Titans lost their battle against the gods of olympus."
"You're such a dork at times. That's it! Dork."
"Dork?" The conversion would have continued if it wasn't for the fact that they heard the two children screaming.
"Ah shit! The kids!" Seth rushed towards the voice of the children while Samus took to the trees and looked for a good vantage point.
Seth dashed through the trees with such swiftness that he was like a the very wind that flowed through the virtual woods. He soon saw this world's copy of General Grievous attacking the two children, who were trying to put up a good fight, but they were clearly under leveled. Seth again had no clue how Major Malevolence appeared in the closed demo, but he would deal with that after the kids were safe.
Both Peashy and Akikaze's health bars were low. They had been fighting their hardest against the dual wielding swordsman but they were unable to inflict any noticeable damage. Akikaze was low on mana as well, he had been using mostly healing magic to keep peashy and himself alive. The potions Peashy had received from her chest were gone. Peashy charged up one of her skills and launched herself at the tall armored knight, but the Major crossed his swords and blocked the attack.
The Major saw that Peashy was unable to move after using her failed skill attack and raised his arms up, with both swords in hands. As he swung down, Akikaze casted a powerful fireball spell from his staff. The exposed Major was blasted back from the force magic attack. Peashy was also knocked back by the attack, but Akikaze was able to catch her.
"We need to run, we can't win!" Akikaze said. Before Peashy could protest, Akikaze grabbed her hand and began to move.
"You aren't going anywhere." Major Malevolence used the trees to propel himself towards the two children. Akikaze and Peashy turned around and saw Major Malevolence descending upon them like a bird of prey, with both swords ready to strike them. At the moment, Akikaze used his body to cover Peashy and waited for the end to come, but he suddenly heard the sound of metal clashing.
The two children looked towards the sound of the clashing and saw a purple hair man wielding two single handed swords. Akikaze and Peashy looked at the man's face and joy grew in their hearts.
"Papa!" Both children yelled.
"Princess!" Seth yelled as he broke the bind grabbed both of the children. Major Malevolence was hit by a barrage of explosive arrows, thanks to a certain Elf in the trees.
Seth ran until he was sure that he was a safe distance away from the armored soldier. He put the two kids down and handed them several potions. As the kids were resting, Samus dropped down from the tree line and joined them.
"Thanks for the cover."
"No problem, dork." Samus stated. Seth decode that this nickname business would be address at a later time. Right now he was trying to figure out how a mid-late game opponent arrived in an area for beginners. He knew that this game used a AI system that would create new events, and quests, perhaps this same system had allowed this boss to move out of its intended area. They would have to fix it, before the full release. He suddenly noticed that Samus was trying to get his attention, and worse he noticed that she had been trying for a while now.
"Seth! You hear me? Hello?!"
"Ah sorry, got lost in my thoughts." He responded honestly.
"Jeez. End the game. I think we've demonstrated enough for the students."
"Fine. End the-" Before Seth could end the program, he brought out his swords sand blocked the incoming attack by Major Malevolence, who had found them. Seth broke away from the Major and rushed next to the others.
"You are a worthy prey. Your swords will make addition to my collection." The armor man extended his two arms outward and they split into four. The two arms that didn't have swords reached back and grabbed for the two resting in his back. With four swords drawn, Major Malevolence took a stance.
"Attack." The Major said.
"Well, this is interesting. He shouldn't be able to do that until his health is at 20%." Seth said as he put away one of his swords and took the starting stance of Soresu.
"Seth!" Samus said.
"Come on, let's fight this guy first. It's been awhile since we fought beside each other."
"Fine!" Samus said as she drew her bow. The kids also got up as well and ready themselves. Akikaze casted a few low level buff spells on the group, while. Seth inched his way towards the Major, who looked ready to strike at a moment notice.
The four armed being began a rapid barrage of strikes against the imp swordsmen. At first the bows was manageable if not difficult, but soon it increased from three strikes a second, to six, then eleven, then a staggering 20 strikes a second. To those watching, they only saw sliver blurs with the sound of clashing metal and sparks. Seth knew that in his avatar form, he couldn't last long against the barrage. He finally saw his chance and drew his second blade. With the two swords in hand, he was able to block all four strikes at once and blew them back. With the general open to attack, he used a sword skill and focus the red blades on one arm, destroying it, much to the Major's dismay.
Just as the major was going to start attacking, Seth moved away, the Major knew what was coming next. He crossed his swords together and blocked three arrows fired by Samus. However the first two were fire arrows that did little damage, the last one however, was an ice arrow. The Ice arrow had frozen together the three swords. As the major focus on freeing himself, the group of four attacked. Akikaze was the first to unleash his lightning spell that stuck the major in the back.
Peashy was the next to attack. Her two armored fist glowed green and she unleashed a barrage of rapid strikes that took little by little of the Major's health bar. This was followed up by Seth unleashed a thirty-seven strike sword skill that nearly drained the bar of Major, but this was when the four armed being broke free from his binds, but it was already too late.
Samus bow glowed with an azura aura as she charged up her avatar's ultimate attack. She placed her hands on the bow's string and drew back. An arrow of energy formed in her fingertips and while Seth and the kids were busy distracting the Major, she unleashed her attack. Peashy, Akikaze, and Seth pulled away at the last moment and the Major at the last second saw why. The arrow of energy pierced the Major and he fell to the floor, before he vanished into millions of energy particles.
"We did it!" Gleaned Akikaze, with joy in his voice.
"We rock!" Peashy hugged Akikaze who was a little surprised by the gesture, but he didn't reject it.
Happy with this result, Seth opened his menu and hit the quit application button and the world around them went dark. He opened his eyes was that he was back in the real world, with a gallery of eyes staring down at him. He got up from the chair and took to the podium once more. After clearing his throat he began once again.
"As you can see, the amusphere is quite impressive and as such, I believe it will become a good tool in refining your skills as IS pilots. Though, should you wish to use the Amusphere for more recreational activities, we will be launching a few games that you may purchase, once the system comes online. And with that, this assembly is over. Yet those of you that want to try the amusphere a little sooner we have several stations set up for you to try out. So enjoy. For the rest of the days, the teachers will be in meetings and as such you have the rest of the day off." Seth said as he left the stand.
A little later on. Meeting room 4.
"As you heard in the gymnasium, this school will be getting some unfortunately much needed defensive upgrades." Seth said as he displayed a hologram of the school in front of the full faculty for the Academy. This included the principle of the academy, Juuzou in the room was Tatenashi, as she was still in the loop of the many happenings that occured in this academy. And one extra guest, Admiral Lelouch was present in room. Many of the teachers and instructors were shocked by the surprise announcement just given as they had no prior knowledge of the changes.
"Now then again the empire will be lending armed forces to assist to protect this school. I know this may sit unwell with some of you in this room. If there are any concerns, please state them now." The Emperor asked the room. He got a few hand raised in the air. He pointed towards Franchee Edwards, the 25 year old math teacher from Canada.
"I understand that we will need to undergo training to work with these new security forces. Could you elaborate." Franchee was one of the teachers that was injured during the attack led by Albert Wesker and she was in favor of these changes.
"During the month long break for the next year, we will have all teachers enter a training program to learn how to work with Imperial military forces, and take a possible leadership role in the event of an emergency. As such we will compensating the teachers for their time with a 150 million yen payment for undergoing the training program and an additional 25 million a year pay raise." This left the teachers in shock. The standard pay was in the range of 20 million yen a year.
"However, should you fail to complete the training, or do not reach a satisfactory level of competency you will be fired." Seth stated.
"What?! But our contract states what-"
"Your contracts expire one week before the start of the new semester. As such. The protections you have right now, will expired before the new year."
"You can't just do this do us." Another teacher, Fernanda Sieres a former Spain IS representative, chimed in. Before Seth could speak, the principle spoke up.
"My dear, Sieres-kun this past year has cause me to realize that we need to tighten security for the sake of the children. As such, we need to make sure the staff is able to protect the next generation of pilots. This school may become more dangerous if the person IS program does become approve. More than 600 personal machines will at one location. Young, reckless, naive pilots. An irresistible target." These words laid heavily on the teachers. Things were only going to get harder for them.
"And as for the topic of personal machines, you all will be receiving new personal machines." Seth pressed a button and a hologram of a brand new IS model appeared. It appeared to be slightly simmer then a standard IS unit, but it had a full body suit and a helmet to protect the pilot. The wings were three long pylons on each side and had energy coursing between them like with [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s wings. Lelouch began to speak.
"This is the [Guardian] mass production IS unit. It's a fourth generation machine with a second generation core. The specs are now being sent to your PEDs." Just then the data of the [Guardian] units arrived. Several of the teachers took a moment to look over the data and were stunned at the specs.
"Is the energy level correct?" Maya asked.
"Yes, these new cores have five times more energy than the first generation. As such they have 4,000 energy points. Compare to the normal 800."
"And they have space flight capabilities?" The Russian teacher Tatiana Kozlov asked.
"Correct, with the ion thrusters, escaping the Earth's gravity is no trouble. This is why the suits cover the full body, unlike many of the older models. The onboard smart AI should also assist you in combat,"
"What exactly is your plan?" Chifuyu asked with a chill stare.
"Why dear sister, whatever do you mean?" A teasing tone came from Seth's mouth.
"You're planning on recruiting these girls once they graduate and enlist them in your forces aren't you." The room, minus Lelouch stared at the Emperor waiting for an answer.
"...I wish it were so." Seth said before he took a pregnant pause. "Recently the Empire has discovered something... Disturbing." Seth took another pregnant pause.
"And what is that Fairs?" This time the arabic teacher Zaina Hamed said.
"The Empire uses a very special mode of communication, but we have detected that 'something' has received this transmission."
"You can't be talking about aliens. Your so-called Empire can't be more than a few years old at most. It would take decades for the communications to travel across the cosmos." Ms, Edwards said.
"If it was standard communication methods, you would be right. What I'm about to tell you is highly sensitive information. The Empire has faster than light capabilities and as such we need a way to communicate with each other in a timely manner. As such normal methods would be impossible."
"There is no way you are telling the truth."
"He is. I've seen it with my own eyes. They even have new-" Tatenashi stopped when a hand was placed in front of her face.
"Tatenashi, you need to stop. That's classified information you're about to tell." Seth stated before he continued. "Anyway, it is true that they have faster the light technology."
"How?!"
"A story for another time. In the meantime we have been preparing a contingency plan. Hopefully the student will not have to fight, but in the event they do, we have a additional support for them." He motion towards Lelouch who shifted the hologram to a live feed of the Imperial shipyards on the moon. It showed that five new ships were under construction.
"We have began construction of several new warship. They're called Victory-Class Star Destroyers. Roughly 3/4 the size of one of my Venator-Class, this warship is carrying far more cannons, but has far less fighters. I have prioritise the construction of the [Brunhilde]. This ship will be in service of the Academy and will service a multitude of roles. Most nobility being able to carry IS units, the whole school should the need arise." Seth stated as the hologram kept showing what the complete ship should look like.
"So you want to arm this school, based on a hunch." Ms. Hamed asked.
"If that is how you see it then so be it. You may also inform your home nations of the information you have learn today if you so wish. I am going to do what has to be done." Seth Tatenashi began to hand out several documents regarding their revised contracts and several confidentiality forms that will regard information they were to learn later on in service of the academy. Seth left the room with Lelouch, and Tatenashi allowing the teachers to debate among themselves. As the trio made their way towards the student council office, Seth began to speak to Lelouch, but not in Japanese. He spoke the Sith language to his second hand.
"What is the status of our project?"
"Ahead of schedule. I suggest looking for a system to plant the child in. Shall I prep a team for reconanance?" Lelouch responded in Sith.
"No, this cannot be on the record. I will scout an area for the seed. I has to be at least 10 light years away."
"Very well."
"Hey, hey! It's not nice to leave a girl out of the loop." Tatenashi playfully protested as she had no clue what the two were saying.
"In due time, you will know. For now, wait." Seth said as he opened the door to the student council. Inside the trio found Kanzashi waiting inside.
"Kanzashi-chan?" Tatenashi wonder why the girl was here. Seth already knew why she was in front of them. The blue hair girl took a second to steel her resolve before speaking.
"Seth, I want to learn how to control these powers you say I have. I'm willing to do anything."
"In 30 minutes, meet me at the dojo. We'll begin immediately." Seth said as he sat down at the desk.
"Yes, master!" A gleeful Kanzashi spoke as she left the room.
"Kanzashi-chan wait!" A stunned Tatenashi gave chase leaving the two men alone.
"So you have a new apprentice it seems."
"She will become a powerful asset." The Je'daii began to stare out of the window in the room that looked down the school. He watched the students act so obviously to the coming danger.
"Is that all you see her as." The second in command knew that the was a potential wife for the Emperor.
"We shall see in due time. Speaking of which how goes your ladies." Lelouch become slightly flustered.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"We could use a few more Geass users." The Emperor said in a teasing tone.
"Oh, shut up." Lelouch with a slightly flustered face.
