Assembly [Both Schools]

By Sunday morning the translation system was back online. Signs were readable to everyone and each screen ordered students to the Battle Arena for 12 noon. Prefects were sent out to make sure no one leaves the campus until that time and then gathered up everyone to take to the battle arena.

Once everyone was seated, the prefects taking up the first two rows, the staff appeared. All of them looked grim; even Recette who's usually cheery face was gone, Dolorosa had an expression usually worn by Santana. As they came to stand in a row in front of the students, it was Dunleavy that stepped forward.

"As I am sure you are all aware, yesterday there was an attack on the Exaclan system and the city of Rakuen itself. I first would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the amount of time it took to get the system working again. Luckily there was no permanent damage."

That was the easy bit, Lee blinked, they hadn't had any sleep at all, working until the early hours to help repair the system. Considering the six of them did not share a common language, it had been a difficult process. The next bit was harder; she hated punishing people. She always felt like she had no right to. But she did, she had taken on that right and responsibility when she became mayor and this was a serious attack.

Perhaps they had been too soft with them, experimentation and trying to cheat was one thing. But this was an entirely different category.

"We have, of course discovered the perpetrators of this crime." She nodded, sending Santana and Nanami to collect Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch vi Britannia from the stands. They were both prefects which was disappointing. Lee would have hoped they would know better.

"Lelouch vi Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi were both found to be the ones that began the attack." Though she had a feeling she knew which one had had the idea. The other didn't seem intelligent enough.

At least they were responsible for each others wrong doings, and so Lee didn't have to punish an innocent.

"You have both been found guilty of attacking the city of Rakuen." She paused, because giving the accused a chance to speak was considered civilised in most worlds and cultures.

Yuka nodded. Privately, she wasn't sure she agreed. The punishments here, at least, struck her as comprehensible, whereas the ones of a week previous seemed to have been doled out in a fit of pique. Still, this weekend had definitely brought more than it's share of problems.

"Hmmmm... But I don't know what we can do that we aren't already."

She paused for a moment before continuing. "Do you want to team up again this week? I don't know how good I'll be - if your weapon is like what I've seen you use back home, it's a lot shorter than I'm used to - but I'll try my hardest."

Cirno was quiet for a moment longer. She was hoping to have escaped by now but that just wasn't in the cards for her. Not that she minded too much but still.

"Sure. I'm a short sword so it's kinda small...But I can make up with it in sorta long range. I got other rings too, I'll start taking them with me!"

She starts to smile like normal. She was pushing the bad out of her mind for now. This round would be better then the last and she'd do her best to make sure of it. She slid off of her seat and stood as tall as she could without flying any.

Yuka smiled. "Then... I vow to protect you," Yuka started... and then headed off on a tangent. "Isn't that kind of strange though? It's really more like you're protecting me..."

Now that made her dissolve into giggles. It took her a moment to calm down enough before she grinned up at Yuka, "Actually it goes both ways.. If you aren't careful, the other Player can go after your Weapon and not just the one you pull out of them. That's how I got lost in the first round of the Tournament a few rounds ago. Sam didn't want to hurt Kotaro and figured I'd be the better target. Once he caught up to me, I didn't last too long."

Cirno sheepishly shrugs a bit. It doesn't bother her at all anymore. She'd long since forgiven Sam and Golbez, understanding their point of view on the whole thing. She would not have fought willing with them if she hadn't!

Yuka didn't like that very much. It may have been within the letter of the rules, but she felt it violated the spirit. And not in a particularly clever way. But Cirno didn't seem to be upset about it, so she wouldn't make a fuss.

Instead, she smiled back. "I see. Then should I say, let's protect each other."

Cirno had learned when she got here some people did not believe in a fair fight. She just made sure to pay more attention and pray that whoever was fighting didn't also have flight abilities.

"Makes sense to me! I promise to protect and use my abilities to help in that." She gave a little bow at the end of that. Someone is trying a bit to hard right now.

Maybe this wasn't quite ideal... but it felt like some kind of progress. (And, she had to admit, she enjoyed openly stating what the 'official' formula seemed determined to ignore, despite encouraging it at nearly every turn.)

Still, Yuka had this strange feeling that she was forgetting to do something...

"Should we have another practice session? I'm sure I'll need it."
frozenmemories: (YAY)

Cirno nodded, "It seemed to help last round so it couldn't hurt! Besides, might as well be somewhat familiar with the sword!"

She isn't one to talk though. She'd only gotten a sword in battle a few times, and even then she didn't do well with them. And something missing? Cirno was too busy thinking on how to help Yuka with the sword.
