It was a normal day iudent Gover Office of the prestigious Ashford Academy.

  All the members of the student cil had gathered for their daily meeting and work… All except for the vice president, which was unfortunately quite normal.

  Rivalz Cardemohe secretary of the Student cil and a spirited and happy-go-lucky blue-haired young man, sat on the rge, marble table at the ter of the office, doing his duties with a troubled, if not, stressed expression.

  There wasn’t anything in the dots he was w on that particurly troubled him. He was… simply troubled for a different reason.

  Sitting opposite him was Kallen Stadfeld. Uhe troubled young man, she was doiask calmly and quietly. Though sometimes, her hands would stop in its tracks as she fell into a daze before she’d suddenly shake her head and tinued w oask.

  Sitting on the puter desk a few distance away, tucked in the er of the room he tall gss window overlooking the academy’s courtyard, Niein, the genius young girl minded her own business as her fingers swept through her keyboard at incredible speeds.

  She was a member of the Student cil as well, and was the most effit member when it es to tasks that must be done digitally. She also helped calg club budgets with her puter, which was extremely helpful given the number of clubs in the academy. And while she wasn’t helping the student cil, she was busy with her own little projects that no ohered to uand due to how plicated they were.

  And then, there was Shirley Fehe most diligent member of the student cil. Out of everyone iudent cil, she was the only one who was a member of two clubs. And even though she was also a member of the swimming club, she still did all her tasks immacutely and never crossed any deadlines.

  She was one of the, if not, the most reliable person iudent cil.

  This time, however… Her productivity was being quite hampered by the stant plea and urging of the student cil’s president herself, Milly Ashford.

  “Hey hey~ Shirley~ Don’t be so stingy~ You’re in the same css as him, right~ Why don’t you tell me how he looks~ I only know that he looks suuuuuper handsome~ I’m suuuuper curious!!!”

  “P-Pres, stop b me already!!! I ’t finish this befoing to the swimming club with you b me all the time!”

  “I’ll stop if you just tell me~ Hey hey~”

  “Geeez!!!”

  This exge had beeing itself since yesterday… If not Shirley, Milly had beeering Kallen to tell her about the famous hunk who had just transferred into the academy.

  Alexander Kyrielight. Just his name alone was enough to stimute all of her wild, romantitasy. Coupled with the rumors about his otherworldly appearance, wealth, and temperament, Milly was imagining him as a real life prince!

  She had been yearning to see him. But she never had the ce… She might be able to if he were to join some club, but he never did. And he’d always return home as soon as css ended. So there’s aremely low ce for her, a third year student whose css was on the opposite side of the building, to be able to even catch a gnce of him.

  Milly had also tried to recruit him into the student cil, but she was stopped by Rivalz with the reasoning that they’re already full.

  But holy, it didn’t matter. She was the president, and if she deemed they needed more hands, she could easily make up a position for him. Moreover, he also seemed to excel academically, so there should be no problem.

  But even then, he was still quite against it for some reason, so she decided to shelf it for a ter time.

  Her curiosity, however, wasn’t as easily put away.

  So, she pestered the two girls who were in the same css as him. She would’ve pestered Lelouch, but he’s rarely here, and Rivalz wouldn’t say anything, so the two girls were the only ones she could t on.

  “Hey hey~”

  Shirly groaned in annoya the bubbly, blonde-haired beauty. But… her annoyaowards her wasn’t truly genuine. Instead of being genuinely irritated, she was just… embarrassed.

  Too embarrassed to admit that even pared to Lelouch, the person she had been ied in for so long, Alexander was simply heads and shoulders above him in terms of appearanbsp;

  There were a lot of handsome young men in the academy. Even in her css, Leloud Suzaku were extremely handsome young men. One exuded an air of cold elegance, a charming and stoic appearance, and eyes that pierced a maide as easily as a hot khrough butter. While the other exuded a warm gentlehat could melt the hearts of the young maidens around him. If he were a pure blooded Britannian, then he would’ve been even more popur than he was.

  But Alexander… he exuded a charm that no one could ignore. His charisma, coupled with his otherworldly appearance was simply unparalleled. And add that to his kind, gentle, and ho personality, no young maidens who had always dreamed of having their own prince charming could not imagine him as the prihat would sweep them off their feet!

  He was holy a perfect man for any young maiden. Perhaps… even a bit too perfebsp;

  “Hah… I just wao know a bit about him and his personality~ Why are you girls so stingy?”

  “...Aren’t you just curious about his appearance?”

  “Of course I am~ But I also want to know how he actually is. Is he a pyboy? Has he dated multiple girls at the same time? How does he a css? Oh, and he’s also in the same css as Suzaku, right? How does he treat him?”

  “Ah… Well…. He actually met Suzaku for the first time today… And they talked.”

  “Eh? Really…?”

  Shirley nodded, a bit awkwardly as she recalled the event that had transpired just before lunch today.

  “Oh? And what did he say?”

  Milly was genuinely curious. She wondered if he’d also treat Suzaku harshly like many of the students in the academy.

  But then, as Shirley began telling her about what had happened, her eyes slowly grow wider and wider as she froze in pce, shocked.

  “...He said that…? Did he… really?”

  Shirley nodded. And when Milly robotically turowards Kallen and Rivalz, they both nodded as well. Nina, who had been listening to Shirley’s story out of i, was also simirly shocked.

  “A-Ahaha… That was ued…”

  Milly was genuinely shocked by this. She… really didn’t expect Alexao have su outlook and even said it in front of all of his Britannian cssmates.

  But she quickly regained her cheerfulness and cpped her hand.

  “But isn’t that great~ If he really es to the student cil, then he’d be able to get along with Suzaku~!”

  Just then, a knock was heard from the double doors of the Student cil’s office. And from behind it, they could hear a familiar voice asking permission to enter.

  “Excuse me. It’s Suzaku. May I enter?”

  “Ah, speak of the devil~ e in!”

  “Thank you. Then, please excuse me.”

  The rge, beautiful mahogany doors that were gilded and engraved with gold opened, revealing the familiar figure of the brown-haired man.

  But soon after, they all froze at the sight of the devilishly charming man.

  “Please excuse my sudden visit.”

  Alexander Kyrielight, the man they’ve been talking about up until just now, bowed courteously and smiled, causing all females in the room, even Nina who had no i in roman the least, to blush and fall into a daze.

  At the same time, the moment Rivalz saw Alexander’s appearance, he immediately turowards his crush, Milly, a his heart drop when he saw her dazed expression.

  “Everyone, I’m sorry fing Alexander so suddenly. But since he hadn’t joined any club, I thought to introduce him to this student anization. Will that be alright?”

  Rivalz wao immediately shout no. But before he could, Milly snapped out of her daze and weled him after clearihroat.

  “Of course it’s fine~! Wele, Alexander Kyrielight, to Ashford Academy’s Student cil!!! Would you like to join us~? We’d love to have su eye dy like yourself~ Right girls~?”

  Milly wiowards the female members of her student cil and made them all blush even more and avert their gaze in embarrassment.

  Rivalz’s arm was bring in his mind. There were tons of things he wao say to tradict Milly’s words. But he was too shocked to say anything.

  He didn’t hate Alexander. In fact, he had talked to him quite a bit and found that he was a very friendly and kind guy.

  But that's besides the point… The point was that he was handsome enough to cause even Milly to fall into a daze in an instant!

  How could he gain the pres’s love if this guy was here?!

  Thankfully, he didn’t agree to join instantly.

  “Thank you very much for your invitation, president. However, before I decide whether or not I joiudent cil, may I observe your activities first? I would also like for us to have some time to get to know each other better first before I join.”

  Rivalz was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. But it wasn’t for long, as the foreboding feeliurned as he listeo Alexander’s words.

  He didn’t joiudent cil instantly like he feared he would. But, he’d still be staying iudent cil in the name of “ their activities”.

  This was still bad news for him!

  But yet again, he was cut off before he could even begin to speak his mind.

  “Of course~ You’re always wele here! Then, from now on, you’ll be a provisional member of the Student cil~ Let me introduce you to everyohough four of the six here are your cssmates.”

  “Thank you very much. Then, I will be in your care.”

  Nightfall.

  Lelouch took a sip of the warm cup of jasmiea Yuuji prepared. A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back to the heavenly softness of the luxurious couparable to the ones in the Britannian pace. And together with him were his four, trusted panions from the group chat.

  They were rexing in the mansion that was given to them by the group chat upon Yuuji, Tatsuya, and Satoru’s arrival in this world.

  And although it might seem like they’ve promised to hangout together this evening, they didn’t.

  Lelouch was in his resideil a few minutes ago… But Yuuji “kidnapped” him using his bination of invisibility and fly spell, and brought him to their mansion.

  He said it was to force Lelouch to take a break for a while, given they’ll be undergoing a major operation very soon.

  And Lelouch couldn’t find any excuse to reject his invitation.

  Since he received his SSR, Lelouch had been spendiire nights preparing and pnning his and the Bights’ future as. And ting this evening, it would be three nights since he had taken a wink of sleep.

  Through means unknown to him, Yuuji found out about this. So, instead of letting him be buried in his room, pnning and scheming the entire night for the umpteenth time, he kidnapped Leloud made him take a rest in their mansion.

  “Ah, that’s right. I heard you came to the Student cil this afternoon.”

  Lelouch pced his ceramic cup onto the matg saucer oable and turowards Yuuji.

  “Yes, I did… I actually didn’t pn oing them this early.”

  Yuuji then began telling Leloud the others how he talked with Suzaku, had lunch together with him, and before he k, arrived at the Student cil’s offibsp;

  “I didn’t join the cil yet, but I got the ce to hangout with them this afternoon. It would’ve been nice if you’re there as well, Lelouch. Then, we hangout even at school without being suspicious.”

  Yuuji looked at the bck-haired vice president of the student cil with an acg look. Knowing Lelouch’s tendency to skip out on his student cil duties from the anime, Yuuji assumed he did just that today. But Lelouch simply shrugged it off and smiled.

  “I was busy. So? How was it?”

  “Well, it was very fun. The president was tagiously cheerful. Nina was quiet and hard to talk to, but she seemed pretty friendly. Shirley was the easiest to talk to, and Karen was just being herself. While Rivalz seemed a bit hostile…”

  He recalled the hostile, jealous gaze targeted towards him his eay iudent cil. Although he was used to it, it still felt a bit unfortable.

  “He’s in love with the president. It’s clear why he’s hostile towards a harem king.”

  Lelouch smirked, his eyes gng teasingly at Yuuji as he furrowed his brows.

  “...Stop. You’re starting to sound like Aika.”

  “Ahahaha. What about you, Tatsuya? Would you like to e joiudent cil as well?”

  Tatsuya, fell into thought for a moment as he sidered Lelouch’s proposition.

  “...That might be iing. I could learn a lot about this world’s teology through Niein if I were to bee a member of the student cil.”

  Although she became… a “bit” unhinged iure, there was no doubting Nina’s brilliant mind. After all, she has the intelligeo bee a pi stist in the anime and created a on to teract the F.L.E.I.J.A ons in the sed season of the anime.

  Tatsuya might gain a lot of insight from her and a fresh new perspective if he could verse with her.

  He owards Lelouch.

  “If the ce arises, then I would love to join.”

  “Alright. We’ll create a ce for you to eer on.”

  The guys versed a little more about their time in school before Lelouch brought up aopic to Yuuji.

  “Oh, that’s right. I heard from C.C that she was seen by a stupidly handsome man. Was it you?”

  “...You made me seem like a narcissist if I admit to it, but yes… I did see her when she was walking around the courtyard of the academy.”

  Yuuji let out a sigh and shook his head.

  “I owe her an apology for ruining her outing.”

  Lelouch smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

  “She’ll be fi’ll be her lesson to not be so careless the ime she goes out despite me telling her not to.”

  “Ahahaha… Well, I still feel a bit bad. I’ll send several boxes of pizza to your door tomorrow.”

  He smiled and nodded his head.

  “That will certainly keep her out from the streets for quite a bit.”

  Lelouch picked up his cup of tea, took a sip, and pced it back down onto the saucer before he spoke once more.

  “Alright… Before we rest for the night, I’d like to crify our objectives for the Battle of Narita.”

  Yuuji, Tatsuya, and Satoru all heir expressions immediately turning serious.

  “The inal reason why I wao engage in this Battle was to capture my half sister, elia vi Britannia, and ask her about my mother’s murder. But… With the revetion that came with watg “Code Geass”, I no longer o ask her anymore.”

  A solemn silence fell upon the room before Lelouch started once again.

  “So now, we’ll have two new objectives. First, was to clear the following Group Chat Missions. Defeat the purist fa in battle, defeat the white knight La and its pilot, Suzaku, and achieve victory itle of Narita.”

  All three nodded in unison at Lelouch’s words.

  “What about the sed objective?”

  Lelouch turowards Yuuji, a out a mysterious smile.

  “The sed objective will be…”
