Chapter 1699 School Encounters
What girl is not pregnant?
Which young man isn't passionate?
When Dimensional Shock deployed the BETA to the Second Tokyo City Cluster, the First Tokyo City Cluster, which was not far away, immediately sounded the alarm and entered a state of high alert. Under Clovis's orders, it strictly prohibited any personnel from the Second Tokyo City Cluster from entering their city.
Although Clovis issued an intelligence control order after the incident, strictly prohibiting the disclosure of information about the BETA invasion to the citizens of the First Tokyo Metropolitan Area, how could the students of Ashford Academy, who were all wealthy and powerful, not know about what happened in the Second Tokyo Metropolitan Area?
Seeing their elders panicking as they packed their belongings and prepared to flee back to the empire, the boys and girls who had grown up with silver spoons in their mouths couldn't help but fantasize about becoming the empire's most powerful knights, wiping out the BETA and saving the city, or hoping that a peerless hero would descend to save their lives from danger.
of course.
Compared to passionate young men, young women in the throes of first love would much rather have that invincible hero ride a white horse to them and meet them.
Therefore, after He Ming led his troops to wipe out the BETA and save the city, the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Colony, who were constantly monitoring the Second Tokyo City Cluster, sent personnel to the Second Tokyo City Cluster that very night to collect intelligence. As a result, they brought back information about Colonel Ming, who was He Ming's avatar, and the Punishment Force, and spread it throughout the entire noble circle.
Over time, Colonel Akira of the Punishment Squad became a daily topic of conversation among the students of Ashford Academy.
"···"
True.
He Ming was also taken aback by the enthusiastic crowd that surged forward.
Although he had witnessed many such scenes when accompanying Lin Minmei on tours before, he realized how terrifying it was when it happened to him.
He moved swiftly and instantly retreated to CC's side.
"go!"
Without saying a word, He Ming grabbed CC and ran.
They moved so fast that the surrounding students only saw a blur before He Ming and CC disappeared without a trace.
"Huh? Where did he go? Was I hallucinating? Wasn't that Colonel Ming, the one who was punished?"
"No way! Look. Those MS are still standing outside!"
The boy and girl looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.
The person was standing right in front of me, how could they just disappear like that?
A little while later, He Mingfang, who had successfully entered the main building, looked at the students outside with lingering fear.
"I thought you were fearless, Colonel Ming."
"That's not the enemy."
He Ming shook his head and sighed helplessly.
The emotions that just surged in from all directions contained not a trace of hostility; they were all joy, admiration, and even...
"They're all little guys who admire heroes. They're quite cute."
CC looked around.
"Let's go! Didn't you say you were looking for someone here?"
"Hmm. However, I don't think we need to bother looking for it anymore."
He Ming seemed to sense something and looked to the other side of the corridor.
Two awkward-looking boys, constantly adjusting their ill-fitting formal attire, stood there waving to the two.
"Wait! That's...!"
The blue-haired boy, it doesn't matter, I don't know him.
But the sight of the black-haired boy caused CC's expression to change drastically.
"Lelouch Lamperouge. That's his current name, but before..."
No. You don't need to say anything.
CC raised her hand to cover He Ming's mouth, shook her head, and said seriously.
“I don’t know him. He doesn’t know me either. And you didn’t come here to see him, did you?”
He Ming found the hint of panic in CC's eyes amusing and also managed to turn the tables on CC's earlier sarcastic remarks.
"So what if he is? So what if he isn't? Although Clovis is determined to become a pawn of the Earth Federation Forces, he is simply incapable of dealing with Charles, or even his second brother Schneizel." He Ming's words made CC's heart skip a beat.
"Were you plotting against Charles and his family from the very beginning?"
"No. If Charles hadn't dared to declare war on the world, pushing the whole situation into chaos and an intractable predicament, I wouldn't have made a move against Holy Britannia so early, and I wouldn't have resorted to such methods."
He Ming readily admitted everything.
"So, it's all Charles's fault?"
"From the perspective of today's chaotic and ever-changing world, ravaged by otherworldly monsters, Charles is not only wrong, but terribly wrong!"
CC fell silent.
Lelouch and Rival, who were standing on the other side of the corridor, could not hear the conversation between He Ming and C.C., but they noticed that the two did not seem to have any intention of coming over for the time being, so they took the opportunity to straighten their formal attire again.
"Damn it! When were these clothes made? They're so tight."
Rival tugged at his collar and began to complain bitterly.
"It should have been purchased when we were moving up to high school."
Lelouch said calmly.
"What?! Back in my first year of high school. No wonder I felt tighter. Sigh... Lelouch, what's wrong with the student council president? Why did he suddenly change into formal attire?"
"Perhaps it's out of admiration for heroes..."
Lelouch's gaze narrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt that He Ming and C.C. were staying put because of them.
"Excuse me, how do I get to your school's board of directors office?"
A short while later, He Ming and CC walked over.
"Distinguished guests, please follow us!"
Lelouch bowed first and said so, and Rival quickly followed.
"Good work!"
Lelouch pulled Rival and turned to walk towards the council office.
Along the way, Rival winked at Lelouch, but Lelouch ignored him.
The fact that the other side immediately asked for the council's approval clearly indicated their dissatisfaction.
"Sigh, the president really messed up this time."
After waiting for a long time in the student council meeting room, Mirei, who had a vague feeling that something was wrong, suddenly received a call from the chairman, asking her to bring the other student council members to the office, and subtly implying that Lelouch and Rival were also there.
Suddenly, Mire felt as if the sky had fallen.
In a daze, Mirei, along with Shirley and Nina, who had been forced to change into formal attire, knocked on the door of the chairman's office.
"Hehe. Colonel Ming. This is my granddaughter, Millie Ashford. She's quite mischievous, and that embarrassing commotion outside was just a sudden idea of hers—to welcome our victorious hero. I hope you don't mind."
The chairman glanced at the student council members, all dressed in their finest attire, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by relief. He then took the initiative to apologize to He Ming.
"No. We fought bloody battles on the front lines, sacrificing everything to recapture the city and protect the citizens, all so that young people could be spared the suffering of disaster."
He Ming immediately saw through the chairman's thoughts.
Since that's the case, He Ming doesn't mind using official jargon to deal with it.
Besides, He Ming's gaze swept past the crowd and landed on Nina Einstein, who was huddled behind them, her hands slightly twisting the hem of her skirt.
She is the developer who recently successfully developed a new type of nuclear weapon called Goddess of Love, which is extremely powerful.
Now is precisely the moment when she is facing computing power difficulties and urgently needs to seek more and stronger computing power resources.
And He Ming happens to possess just such an existence.
