Another day meant another class. By now probably all of his students were bored out of their minds, since Golbez had never assigned anything more than "Read your textbooks" -- although on the other hand, if they wanted to spend the class period passing notes or doodling, he didn't care.

Monday of Round Three, however, was a little different. Rather than the Conquest school uniform he'd been assigned, Golbez stood behind the desk at the front of the class in the cloak, skirt, and Lunarian jewelry he'd arrived in Rakuen wearing; on the whiteboard behind himself, he'd simply scrawled the word Stars. He was a bit on edge; what he was about to spend the class period doing was surely against the rules. He wasn't concerned about being punished, though -- rather, he was worried that any students who went along with the discussion might be in trouble. But he was tired of playing along with this charade.

Once the class was settled, he began to speak. "It is said that to defeat the ones holding us prisoner, we need to obtain 'the stars' -- six of them, probably. I'm fairly sure that the term does not refer to distant, giant balls of plasma. Which raises the question: To what does it refer?"

He looked out at the class, eyes narrowed. "Any suggestions?"

Nothing like that was written in the manual. Come to think of it, hadn't some strange symbol appeared when the weapons had been drawn in the exhibition match three weeks prior? Golbez hadn't been in a good position to see it clearly, but now that he thought of it... Those could have been stars.

There really was more to Lelouch than he'd been letting on. "Was this before or after he was appointed prefect?"

"Before." Suzaku thought back, "It happened on Thursday, I think he became a prefect on Friday." He had noticed the symbols as well on the weapons in the exhibition match but what made those weapons, and Lelouch's weapon different than the other weapons.
