"Suzaku Suzaku, or as you know it, Suzaku Suzaku."

In the midst of everyone's whispers, Suzaku dropped the chalk and turned around, waiting for the classmates' questions.

Different from the pomp and circumstance when Yilan entered the school, Suzaku, a transfer student, received an unprecedented cold reception, and the moment he turned around, the class instantly fell silent. But this qiē did not make Suzaku too tormented, after this period of polishing in the military department, he now has a little bit of invincibility.

At this moment, his gaze was wandering back and forth between the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally, although he tried his best to hide it, but his eyes revealed deep doubts.

"Is there no problem?"

The teacher looked around the class. Xia Li, the only student in the class who had the urge to raise his hand, was held down by the girl next to him.

"Okay, Zhu ... Shumu-san, is it okay to sit in the last row?"

"Yes."

With Suzaku soldier's short answer, the students in the back row suddenly spread out to both sides and gave up most of the country.

Suzaku's expression didn't change in the slightest, while Lelouxiu's face became gloomy.

Bai Mao saw this qiē with great interest.

This guy isn't having a good time anywhere・・・・・・

Yilan turned her head, propped her head, looked at the window in the back of the classroom comfortably, and casually lifted her collar.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Her Royal Highness the princess has already sued me, oh, you transferred to another school."

On the rooftop, Yilan put her hands in her pockets, leaned on the railing, and looked at the sky leisurely.

"How? Schools in Britannia? ”

"Your Highness Yufemia? Are you just... no, how would you know until then?"

Suzaku's eyes were full of seven points of doubt and three points of vigilance.

"The code between you and Lelouchau? He sued me. ”

Yilan smiled, pulled out his pockets with both hands, and slowly walked towards Suzaku.

"Why..."

"If you explain it one by one, it will probably take a long time, so..." Yilan stopped after three steps in front of Suzaku. "Let's communicate in the way you know best."

Tentatively take a half-step forward with your right foot.

Suzaku's body reacted one step ahead of his brain, quickly taking a step back, facing Yilan sideways, his center of gravity lowered.

Half a second later, Suzaku realized that for some reason he had already put on a defensive counterattack.

There was a familiar momentum from the other side.

The danger signal passed through the adrenal glands, stimulating his brain like an electric current.

This is not some first-time enemy.

A person who practices martial arts can practice to the level of Suzaku, as long as he has fought once, even if he is blindfolded, he will never forget the aura of the other party.

Wait a minute?

Enemy?

Why do you have the feeling that the other person is an "enemy"?

"It's still the same, you."

Ylan sighed.

"It's really a good choice to defend and counterattack, but before we even fight, we were forced to take a step back, and we have already lost half of our momentum."

"Excuse me, huh?!"

That white guy suddenly disappeared!

No, it's not disappearing, it's ...

Suzaku reacted at a speed that was almost beyond the limits of human beings, pricking his legs, sinking his waist, lifting his breath, his luck, and staggering his arms to protect each other's chests.

At the moment when Suzaku completed his defensive stance, his heart was inexplicably empty--the expected huge impact did not come, on the contrary, a hand gently carried his arm. The strength of the whole body is gone, and the back hand is impossible to exert at all.

Just like the active defensive armor equipped on the tank, it uses its own active blasting to resist incoming missiles, "fighting explosions with explosions", although the defense ability is amazing, but if the time is miscalculated even a subtle, it is equivalent to self-breaking martial arts, and the door is wide open.

It's a time difference!

Suzaku's pupils dilated.

This feeling seems to be somewhere...

The white-haired one showed a playful smile, and there was no movement, but the hand on the arm of the Suzaku suddenly blurred - it was the result of tensing the muscles at an extremely high speed, sending the force out at an almost imperceptible distance, so that the arm was concussive, in martial arts, this move is called "inch strength".

Suzaku was blown out by this palm, and slammed it on the wall behind him, and his brain went blank in an instant. If a third party is present, the scene is as if Suzaku has been hit by an invisible train.

Yilan sighed, very dissatisfied with his appearance.

The other party was shocked and flew away, which can only explain one point, this palm failed to penetrate, and the energy did not stay in the other party's body. If it is performed by the mother, even if it uses thirty percent of the strength, the other party's chest should have been dug out of a transparent hole now・・・・・・

Suzaku's strength was not what he expected, and he could still pant with a full palm in the state of breaking the defense, and if he was a normal person, his internal organs should have been shattered. This is no longer a matter of martial arts cultivation, but against the sky, which makes Bai Mao can't help but be jealous, pure body element.

At this moment, Suzaku was trying to control his unconscious hands and pick up his posture again.

As if he had finally realized something, his expression became solemn at this time.

"Is that you?"

"Ah, you haven't even broken your arm, has it been completely healed? "Ilan didn't answer, but thought in a resentful way. "Are you a cockroach? Does the severed limb feel regenerated? Isn't it cheating to be human? It's a miracle that you can practice like this with your natural ability, but this is the other way around... Is your teacher a disabled person? At least respect your talents a little・・・・・・"

"Are you the one the princess asked me to come to?" Suzaku frowned.

"The order is wrong, shouldn't such an important title as 'life-saving benefactor' be put first?"

"It's you!"

There is no doubt that Suzaku guessed the identity of the other party at the moment of the fight. He just never expected that the motorcycle man at that time, the guy who was cunning and spicy and seemed to have gone through countless battles, would be so young, maybe even younger than himself.

It seems that there is more to it than that・・・・・・

"Again."

Engrossed in defense, coupled with the other party's prior warning, Suzaku still failed to catch his movements, and only a vague figure disappeared into the lower right corner of the field of vision.

The speed of the other party is so fast that it surpasses human common sense, but Suzaku's reflex arc is also a once-in-a-thousand occurrence.

Suzaku felt it, and the other party was now short and snatched into his arms.

The left leg exerts force, the body leans forward, the right elbow, the left palm and the right shoulder, the three are in the same plane, like a wall, and they crash into Suzaku's chest, which is the "Iron Mountain Lean" in Bajiquan. Without the two-arm portal, if it is solidified now, Suzaku will definitely not have a chance of survival.

The original hard bridge and hard horse, the extremely fierce moves, were actually used by Yilan like an assassin.

can't block, can't block, and don't have time to dodge, being hit is death・・・・・・

Driven by his survival instinct, Suzaku made a move that even he hadn't thought of. He clenched his fists, his thumb knuckles protruding, and slammed into Ylan's temple.

This is a killer, and the purpose of using it is to take people's lives. Since practicing martial arts, this is the first time that Suzaku has killed others, but in this mortal situation, only this method of ending up together can survive death.

Ahh

But the actual combat experience is still too little・・・・・・

A flash of inspiration or something that improvises can't save you for a lifetime.

Ylang gave up the killing blow, bowed down, and lowered his center of gravity to the extreme.

It's not just dodging, his body is like a spring, storing the potential energy he has accumulated before in the crook of his waist and legs.

The five fingers of the right hand are bent into the palm of the hand in the shape of tiger claws, and they are tightly retracted to the waist.

At the moment when Suzaku's fists swept over his head, Yilan's eyes flashed, his body grew violently, and the concrete ground under his feet could not withstand this huge force, and several cracks burst out in response. The energy that had accumulated throughout his body finally turned into a rising dragon and slapped at Suzaku's jaw.

This is not such a comfortable way to die as a broken cervical vertebrae, this kind of momentum is clearly aimed at creating a headless corpse!

This time, Suzaku couldn't hide anymore.

・・・ It is not a rank...

Not only did he not retreat, but he could also use a change of tricks.

This guy... is a monster...

This guy... I can't win on my own...

"That's it?"

Just as Suzaku closed his eyes and waited to die, a voice that lacked interest sounded.

"Am I overestimating you, or am I underestimating you・・・・・・"

Suzaku opened his eyes, only to find the white guy standing in front of him with his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened.

"Melee combat barely passes, close combat is a mess, and you can't do anything about the enemy within your arm's reach. At this time, you should use your shoulders and elbows more. Ah, no, use your brain until then, your actions are so predictable. ”

Bai Mao said with an expression of "I've just warmed up".

"Is this a test? For me? ”

Suzaku finally relieved himself, only to find that his back was already soaked, although it was not the first time to fight, but it was the first time he had experienced the overwhelming strength generated by the opponent's real firepower. Although I knew that the other party was strong, I didn't know that the gap between myself and him was so big that it was desperate.

I can't even catch the other party's three moves!

"Why, it's just a bit of fun."

Ylang shrugged.

"So, although it's not the first time we've met, let's introduce myself, Eastland Rex Britannia, the thirteenth prince of the Empire, is the younger brother of Lelouch. Another name is, ZERO. ”

Suzaku's brain crashed instantly.

Ylan held out her hand to him with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Suzaku Shuki, Lancelot's driver."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the dormitory of the student union, Lu Lu was absentmindedly fiddling with the chess pieces on the table.

The woman on the bed stretched and sat up, rubbing her eyes and fumbling for her doll.

"Seventeen hours, how the hell did you do it?" Lelouch looked up at the sunset outside the window and said angrily.

"Ah, is it lonely? Should I be without me? ”

It's so despicable that I know I can't fight back with my own position・・・・・・

"Didn't an old friend come back today? Why do you still have a stinky face? ”

"I wanted him to leave the army, even if he didn't join me, even if he found a quiet place to live. But... this idiot has taken an even more dangerous path. ”

"Well, double agents are always going to die miserably." C.C didn't hesitate to sprinkle salt on the wound. "Speaking of which, why let that little imp go to meet him? Wouldn't it be better for you to come forward and explain to him yourself? ”

Lelouch shook his head, his eyes a little dazed.

"He knows me too well, and he would say that this is not my style."

"So you decided to make that little imp ZERO?"

"At least in front of him, I have nothing to do with the Black Knights, I'm just an ordinary student."

"What is this? A friendship sustained by lies? ”

C.C chuckled.

"Anyway, Ashford College is the farthest place from the battlefield in all of District 11, and if it's here, ・・・・・・"

"Is it boring self-esteem again? Obviously, it would be good if he was ordered to farm in his hometown. ”

"・・・・・・ not now."

"What's that?" C.C could hear the wavering in his tone.

"・・・・・・" Lelouch was speechless.

C.C sighed, put down the doll in his hand, and sat down next to him.

"Lelouch, do you know that lies are like snowballs, only getting bigger and bigger?"

"・・・・・・ yes."

"But it's not going to go on forever, and one day, it's going to reach that tipping point and fall apart."

"I know."

Lelouch sighed, his tone hardening.

"So, before that, we have to end this qiē."
