Den of Monsters

Y2 Vol6: Vicarius Filii Dei

(Lelouch Lamperouge's POV)

We returned to school yesterday, it's been without a doubt a hellish time trying to bring back everyone together.

We lost five people in that island to an unexpected thing like terrorists but...they were worthless so it didn't matter.

One of them was even a girl who used to bully Hiyori with Manabe but now she's gone as well, the other notable one was a friend of Ishizaki who took part in Sudo Ken's expulsion.

I suppose it was karma for their deeds or they were simply quite misfortunate but now...we're down five people, they weren't capable but they were numbers and tools in my eyes.

I sighed as i scratched my head while waiting for Takayanagi to arrive, to my right and left Hiyori and Itadori although seeming normal are still quite broken.

Itadori...as i predicted was a monster, he killed a man with pure strength alone caving his head in with his fists, the man looked week but was fast and strong to supposedly defeat Rollo who in the words of the late finral was...an assassin.

I suppose now i understand why he was sent here truthfully...Schneizel wishes to erase me so that he can take over the throne without any complications, he is influential and cunning, not a single fool from my family aside from me can match him which would mean he's the new king.

But at the moment...i am unsure of how i will be able to strike back at him in winning the throne, i could create drama after my graduation but even then...he would most likely silence me and if Rollo or that woman Stella hear of the fact that i know what they're doing...they will strike.

"Tsk...cornered from all sides" i muttered as the door of the classroom opened and Takayanagi arrived.

He looked like a complete mess for some reason, his eyes were dead and hollow, his hair was quite messy like he just woke up and his shirt was barely even ironed.

"Today i have three things to announce, first there will be a Sports Festival in October similar to the previous year, followed by the first Cultural Festival in November, with planning starting from September. In addition, midterms and finals will also occur in-between"

The class murmured for a small moment before Ryuuen coughed once and they all went silent.

"Second, we will be conducting a special exam under the name of 'The Unanimous Vote Special Exam' tomorrow, i will explain the details further in a small moment."

"Seriously now?..." Itadori muttered in worry beside me.

A special exam so soon huh, well that was to be expected i guess...

"Finally...we have two new transfer students coming from germany"

My eyes widened at his words in surprise, transfer students?...last time it was Ayano Tateyama, what sort of person did they accept this time and why?...

Takayanagi looked at us for a moment before sighing as he put his things down.

"Come in" he said as he looked at the door and it opened.

From it came two people who looked quite similar to one another.

The first is a seemingly young girl with pale skin and green eyes. She has her hair up in two long blonde pigtails and was smiling quite happily.

The second was a young man with short blonde hair and red eyes, he wears a black hooded jacket and round glasses, he looked quite nervous unlike the girl.

The girl raised her hand and waved at everyone as she spoke up in...english.

"Hello!, i am Mary and this is William, it's so nice to meet you all!"
