Chapter Thirteen: The Gap

  After the Silent Event, I became a student council member, just like Mirei.

  In the school grounds, the students' first fear is the principal, and their second fear is me. Especially the male students, every time they see me, they tremble with fear.

  Some of the timid ones even fainted on the spot with a pale face.

  "It's all Master's fault, he did it too exaggeratedly." On the rooftop, Kalin waved the chopsticks in her right hand and held a lunchbox with her left hand, looking at me discontentedly.

  "If this continues, Master will be suspected."

  "What am I supposed to suspect?" I replied vaguely.

  "At that time, he was already in the position of Master's first apostle."

  "How is that possible..." I burst out laughing, "Just because I knocked down all the boys in the school, you suspected me of being the First Apostle? Britannia shouldn't have such a ridiculous guy like you."

  "So, why did Cornelia suddenly come to visit here."

  What Karen said was a visit, three days later, which is the school festival of the academy.

  On that day, Cornelia would appear in this school, and Karen was suspicious that it was because of my reckless behavior that day that Cornelia had doubts about me, which is why she took an interest in such a small school.

  "Don't worry about it." I narrowed my eyes and said, "At that time, the order to keep a low profile had already been given, so there shouldn't be any rumors or gossip. Cornelia's visit here must have some other purpose."

  While saying this with my mouth, what I was thinking in my heart was another matter.

  This school festival should be the last one before the story begins, and it won't take long for the story to really start.

  What's frustrating is that when watching anime, I only pay attention to the plot and forget about the timing of the plot start. Moreover, the plot only mentions the year it started but doesn't specify the month or day.

  This is really an overwhelming disadvantage for me.

  At least I haven't seen any signs of CC yet, as if she had never appeared in Rurouch's identity.

  Is it really necessary to wait for the new governor of Area 11 to arrive before finding C.C., only to have her be killed by that incompetent Lelouch?

  Although this little time is meaningless to me, but the teacher was played by the plot, it really feels very annoying.

  Spoiling the plot is our otaku fate, following the plot has no meaning anymore.

  At lunchtime, Kalin complained all the time. Even so, she wouldn't say anything that didn't matter to me, or look at what I was doing, but instead very actively helped me think of ways to fool Cornelia.

  For this disciple who is so dear to me, I smiled and stroked her hair, saying in a low voice: "It's okay, nothing will happen whether Cornelia came for me or not."

  "Well, since Master said so..."

  Besides, shouldn't it be Lelouch who's in a hurry, not me?

  Even after all these years, if Cornelia were to catch a glimpse of Lelouch, the possibility that she would be able to recognize him is absolutely no less than 80%, and if Lelouch really was that unlucky, to be found out...

  It will be lively then.

  Then, three days later.

  The school festival has officially begun, and Cornelia appears at the festival with her own knights.

  Ashford Academy is a school in Britannia, but most of the students here are commoners from Britannia, with few nobles, except that after Milly's astonishing noble status was revealed, all students had to look up several notches when seeing Cornelia.

  The identity of the princess has already determined that she and these people have an absolute class gap.

  Even the knights around her were strictly screened and selected from various nobles.

  "Miss Cornelia." As soon as they entered the academy, Guilford said, "Now is the time for the school festival to begin. Miss Cornelia, will you go to the student council first or..."

  "The Student Council." Cornelia said resolutely, her cold gaze fixed on a magnificent building in the distance.

  For the students here, Cornelia's existence is undoubtedly a top-notch legend. Being able to see her once is already an unparalleled honor, let alone having a conversation with her, which is not something they dare to hope for.

  This is not star-chasing, rushing up recklessly, and it's very likely that you'll be treated as an assassin.

  So, all the way, seeing Cornelia's students with reverent eyes, but no one came forward to talk to her.

  After Cornelia left, the originally stagnant school festival once again became lively.

  Whatever it takes, just do it.

  Due to Cornelia's unexpected arrival, Lelouch had already made complete preparations and took on all the work of the school festival student council by himself in order to avoid meeting with Cornelia.

  In fact, this move was very successful.

  When Cornelia entered the student council room, she asked if all members of the student council had gathered. Mirei replied cautiously that the vice president was still outside preparing for the school festival, but Cornelia didn't think much of it.

  It would be better to say that she didn't listen carefully to Mire's answer at all.

  She had just entered the student union and after a few glances around, she focused all her attention on me.

  "You're an overseas student of the Chinese Federation."

  "Yes."

  "Bold." Suddenly, a knight shouted from behind Cornelia: "When speaking to Lady Cornelia, why don't you use honorifics?"

  I spread out my hands and said with a smile: "Because I am not Breton, but a person of the Chinese Federation."

  "You..."

  "It doesn't matter." Cornelia raised her hand to stop the angry knight behind her and said, "I have something to discuss with him alone, you all go out first."

  "Miss Cornelia..." Guilford seemed just as shocked by Cornelia's actions, his face pale.

  "Get out!" Cornelia said coldly.

  Even in defeat, several knights including Guilford said a word and then retreated.

  The members of the student union also went out under Mire's leadership.

  When the student union was empty, Cornelia stood up, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

  "This is our second meeting, isn't it, Mr. First Apostle."

  I smiled and nodded slightly, "Ah, indeed it's our second meeting, Lady Cornelia."

  "So you called me here, is there something important?" Cornelia continued.

  Three days ago, I invited Cornelia here in an anonymous letter, so to speak, with grandiose intentions.

  "Of course it's a very important matter." I smiled at Cornelia and said word by word, "I want to unify the world, so I need your help."

  Cornelia raised an eyebrow with a very British air, "How dare you."

  "No, no, no..." I shook my head, still with a smile on my face. "You don't understand me and don't know my abilities, that's why you think I'm bragging. The reason I called you here today is to tell you where the difference between me and ordinary people lies."

  He pointed at the chair in front of him with one hand, and the chair suddenly flew up with a whoosh.

  Cornelia was taken aback and stared at everything in front of her in disbelief.

  "This is just the beginning." I said calmly.

  At the same time, all the chairs in the student union flew into the air, not just the chairs, but also tables, computers, and floors began to float one by one, flying in mid-air...
