First Meeting? A Reunion After All! (5.1K)
Led by old Ashford, they walked up the steps.
But the moment old Ashford opened the door, a series of crackling sounds came from inside.
It is a small, handheld ceremonial cannon.
Countless colorful ribbons fell from the sky like cherry blossom rain, landing on them.
"Welcome to our new teacher!"
A cheerful and lively female voice echoed in my ears.
P. S.: I spent the whole night thinking about this chapter, deleting and re-editing it repeatedly, and finally decided to write it this way.
Now that the holidays are over and everything's settled, I'll try my best to resume updates.
Chapter 238 First Meeting? A Reunion After the First Encounter! (5.1K)
"Milly!!!"
An angry roar echoed through the air, startling everyone.
Old Ashford was very angry, like a raging lion, and also very frightened.
Although I know my granddaughter is a bit quirky, always impulsive, and prone to coming up with some unusual ideas.
But I never expected it to happen at this time!
"I'm sorry, Yotsuba Clan. It's all my fault for not teaching you properly and causing you such a fright..."
"It's alright, it's alright, isn't this quite interesting?"
Surprise party.
It's no surprise that this was done by the president who loves to cause trouble.
Mahiro's gaze slowly swept over the people in front of him.
Most people here wear beige uniform tops, dark women's ties, belts of the same color as their tops, black miniskirts and uniform shoes, and blue cotton socks.
This should be the women's uniform at the Ashford Academy.
The short skirt, cotton socks, and uniform shoes have the style of the original Japan sailor uniform, while the top is a standard Britannia aristocratic style, fully displaying the beauty of women.
But the most eye-catching among them was a rather tall girl.
Her golden, wavy hair spoke of her noble lineage, and her delicate face possessed a maturity rarely seen in a high school student. Her ample bosom, which even her school uniform couldn't conceal, drew all eyes to her.
A supple, slender waist, long, snow-white legs beneath the skirt...
Among high school students, her beauty is unparalleled.
However, the girl's face still showed the helplessness she felt after being scolded by old Ashford, and she seemed unsure of what to do with the empty cannon casing in her hand.
She had heard from her grandfather that a young, important figure was coming to Ashford College to take up a position, so she wanted to welcome him in her own way by holding a welcome party.
When we met, I found that the other person was indeed very young; if you didn't know, you would have thought they were a transfer student.
But seeing her grandfather's strong reaction, she already understood—
He messed up...
"Don't be nervous, I really enjoyed your welcoming ceremony."
Mahiro broke the awkward silence by speaking to the girl in front of him:
"You must be Miss Milly Ashford, right? I'm Yotsuba Mahiro. Nice to meet you."
"Hello Yotsuba Clan, nice to meet you."
Seeing his gentle and kind demeanor, Milly smiled faintly and gently shook hands with Mahiro.
Grandpa seems overly nervous?
This important figure doesn't seem to be that difficult to get along with.
And who exactly is this important person who commands such respect from my grandfather?
A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Milly's heart, just like a mischievous kitten.
Even so, Milly still upheld good family upbringing and aristocratic etiquette.
"Hey, who's that person? Is he a new transfer student?"
A blue-haired boy asked the person next to him in a low voice.
To command such respect from old Ashford, and yet he's from Area 11 or something...
In fact, it's not just one person.
The others were also puzzled, cautiously observing Mahiro with curious eyes.
In their eyes, the blonde woman wearing sunglasses next to them looked more like the new teacher.
But why is that transfer student accompanied by a silver-haired little girl?
"Rivalz, stop talking."
Just then, a voice rang out, stopping the blue-haired youth, and stepped out from the crowd.
He was a tall, slender young man with black hair and a pair of beautiful yet mysterious purple eyes.
He was handsome, but also somewhat effeminate, like a girl.
Especially her thin figure, which looked as if she would fall over with a gust of wind.
His emergence from the crowd surprised those around him.
"Hey, Lulu..."
A girl tried to stop him, but before she could even touch his sleeve, the voice rang out again, stopping her.
"Yo, Lelouch, it's been a long time."
"Huh?"
The girl was slightly taken aback, and then she heard Lelouch speak:
"Indeed, it must have been more than ten years since we last met in Britannia. Mahiro my teacher."
Mahiro... teacher?
Do they know each other?
Seeing Lelouch and the young man who called himself Yotsuba Mahiro, their hands clasped tightly together, Lelouch still maintained a respectful demeanor.
Everyone was lost in confusion.
However, the one who was most shocked was Milly.
As the daughter of the Ashford Family, she naturally knew Lelouch's background. Over the years, in order to conceal Lelouch's identity, she even specially changed his surname to Lamperouge.
But now, this young man, who is visiting this place for the first time, knows Lelouch.
Furthermore, Lelouch referred to the other person as his teacher, which means...
That's right, just as Milly guessed.
As the tutor of the Britannia royal family, Yotsuba Mahiro naturally had Lelouch vi Britannia, the thirteenth prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, as one of his students.
However, the teaching period was not long, only two short years.
"It's unbelievable how much that frail, mischievous child has grown up..." Mahiro murmured with a touch of melancholy.
"Teacher, you're the same; your mouth is still as sharp as ever," Lelouch retorted immediately.
Although they were nominally teacher and student, they seemed more like long-lost friends.
Because Mahiro never treated this black prince as a student.
Lelouch can be said to have completely inherited Charles's bloodline; his pride and intelligence, ingrained in his very bones, are genuine.
Their inner "wild kings" are exactly the same.
Having spent two years with Lelouch, he could be certain.
Even without knowing the details of the original story, one can understand that once this lurking beast is given the opportunity to counterattack, it will surely bite Britannia to death.
Even if it doesn't kill you, it will still tear off a chunk of flesh!
Only...
"You're still as frail as ever, Lelouch."
"?!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Before Lelouch could react, he was immediately thrown over the shoulder and Lelouch to the ground.
"Cough--"
The intense pain and impact of his back slamming into the ground immediately emptied the air from his chest.
!!!
"Lulu!"
This sudden action startled the students present.
Even among them, an orange-haired girl in a uniform rushed out and helped Lelouch, who was lying on the ground unable to move, to his feet.
He asked with concern:
"Lulu, are you alright?"
"Cough cough... no, it's nothing..."
Seeing Lelouch struggling to breathe, as if he might die at any moment, the orange-haired girl immediately turned and glared at Mahiro, demanding:
"Even though you're Lelouch's teacher, you can't just bully him like that!"
Mahiro simply shrugged innocently.
"Young man, you are somewhat mistaken. As your teacher, I merely checked Lelouch's homework after so many years, and it turns out he didn't complete it properly."
"You..."
"Stop talking, Shirley..."
Lelouch finally caught his breath and, while taking deep breaths of fresh air, stopped Shirley.
He slowly got up from the ground and couldn't help but say to Mahiro:
"You damn teacher, you know my situation perfectly well, how could I possibly complete such an absurd assignment!"
In fact, Lelouch can't be blamed; it was indeed the homework and lessons that Yotsuba Mahiro arranged that were too outrageous.
Because what Mahiro teaches is not fancy things like royal etiquette, but practical combat and strategy.
Strategy was naturally no problem for Lelouch.
The problem is, practical courses.
In addition to daily 10-kilometer cross-country runs, there are also sword practice and Spartan-style lessons such as life-or-death battles with wild wolves.
This kind of course was extremely difficult even for the other princes, let alone Lelouch.
Only Princess Cornelia is capable of accomplishing these tasks.
But in fact, all these courses were prepared for Lelouch alone, with the aim of training Lelouch to be as intelligent as Lelouch and the Black Prince to be a form with both strength and intelligence of A.
Leaving aside the fact that he could easily defeat Suzaku Kururugi, who has monstrous muscles, he could at least hold his own against Cornelia.
Unfortunately, it failed.
Lelouch's weak physique is not due to being pampered, but rather it is ingrained in his DNA.
This is all due to the way Lelouch was born.
He was indeed the biological son of Holy Britannia Emperor Charles and Princess Marianne, the fifth wife of the Empire, but he was not born through natural childbirth.
It came from a laboratory.
In order to cultivate Lelouch's adaptability to Geass, Charles and Marianne modified him entirely from a fertilized egg.
This gave Lelouch a great ability to adapt to Geass, but at the cost of physical weakness and lack of stamina.
