    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku took a deep breath, filling his lung to the brim, before letting it all out through his mouth as he stood before therge, mahogany double doors that lead into the Student Government Office, wishing all his nervousness would be expelled along with the air in his lungs. But it didn’t.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Instead, he became even more nervous the more he took his time trying to calm down outside the office.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It has been quite a few days since he came to the office. He couldn’t even attend school for quite some time due to his military obligations, preparing for the operation in Port Yokosuka.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He had taken a few days off from his duties in order to refresh his mind and calm his heart after experiencing such a disheartening and utter defeat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He wanted to experience some semnce of normalcy that someone his age should be experiencing, and spend time with some friends.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But now… after not seeing them for so long, he became quite nervous.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Would they treat him the same? Or would their rtionship be reverted to when he had just transferred in?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Lelouch might still treat him the same, but what about the rest? They’ve all knew him for only a few months. Even then, they’ve only met a few times since he had to be absent for school due to his military obligations.


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">No, calm down. They’re nice people. They won’t do such a thing.</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">He psyched himself up once again, took a deep breath, grabbed the handle to the door, and pushed it opened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh my~! Suzaku-kun, it’s been a while!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Y-Yes, it has been a while, pres.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku froze for a moment when he was greeted by the ever cheerful Milly. He awkwardly raised his hand in a wave and greeted her back shakingly, a bit taken aback by her energy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hey, Suzaku! If you’reing, then we should’ve juste here together. I thought you won’t being here either today.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“A-Ah, sorry. I’ll do that next time, Rivalz.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">He nodded and walked into the room, feeling slightly relieved that everyone was still acting warmly towards him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As he entered, Suzaku began to look around. The first one who caught his eye was Nina, who was sitting separately from the others in her own desk located right at the opposite side of the door he came from, minding her own business with herputer.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Then, he shifted his gaze towards therge rectangr table where everyone else gathered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Milly was sitting at the head of the table, while Rivalz sat to her left with aptop right in front of him and several files scattered on his space.


    <span style="font-weight:400">To her right was Shirley, working diligently as usual and organizing the files and documents that Lelouch, who was sitting by her side, hadpleted and reviewed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There were a few piles of papers around him, a testament to the immense work Milly had put upon him. But, Lelouch didn’t seem to be even the slightest bit tired, a stark contrast to Rivalz who seemed like he’d rather be anywhere else if not for Milly’s presence despite the small amount of work he had to doparatively.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But then, he saw something even more absurd…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Right beside Lelouch’s pile… Were evenrger piles of files, documents, and binders that had been stacked up high.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And the one sitting before it was Alexander, working on hisptop quite rxedly, with Arthur resting on hisp, seemingly asleep.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sitting opposite him was Kallen, who was also silently doing her work and briefly nodded at him upon his entrance before returning to her task.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku would’ve normally responded to Kallen’s greeting in kind, but right now, he was too shocked at the mountain of documents Alexander had around him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He stopped and turned towards the president as he pointed at the mountain of papers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Uhm… P-President, i-isn’t that a bit too much for one person to work on?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? Yes it is.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“T-Then why…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Seeing his confusion, Milly smirked and pointed at Alexander as she winked at Suzaku.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s how amazing he is~! No matter how many I give him, he’d always finish it so quickly! And they’re all perfectly done! I was so amazed that I ended up giving him more and more to test his limits, and I ran out of work before he ran out of energy~!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hah… Isn’t that just your excuse for dumping all of your work to me, Pres…?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">A tired sigh escaped Alexander’s lips as he shook his head, ncing at Milly with a reproachful look.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh my~ That’s just a misunderstanding, Alexander. How could I do that to my precious council member~? Fufu~”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hah...”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku looked at Milly incredulously and sent a pitying gaze at Alexander, who was forced to handle such a tremendous amount of work.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He shook his head and approached Alexander, casting a nce at the mountain of papers on the table.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Now that he was closer, they were… much more than he first expected. And they’re all actual documents, ounting ledgers for club budgets, forms, and tables that the student government used to organize the tens of clubs that existed in this massive academy. Moreover, there were also requests that came from students, ns for future events, and a myriad of other things the student council had to deal with as the student governing body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Even just by looking at it and merely ncing at its contents, Suzaku couldn’t help but gulp. This was even more work than what he had to do as an officer in the military.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That said, he couldn’t just abandon him and leave Alexander with all the work…


    <span style="font-weight:400">“H-Hey, do you need some help with that?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">He might not be of much help, but he could at least be an extra hand. Perhaps, he could sort out the documents and finish some simpler ones to help. But, an unexpected answer came from his handsome ssmate and friend.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? Oh, thank you, Suzaku. But there’s no need, these are all done.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku froze, his eyes wide as saucers as he looked at Alexander with an incredulous look.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He then nced at Kallen, wondering if he heard Alex’s word right, or if the battle with the crimson knightmare a few days ago rattled his brain a bit and made him slightly hard of hearing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But, Kallen simply nodded and showed an expression of disbelief, incredulity, and exhaustion.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She thought there wouldn’t be another monster like Mordred who could do ten or more people’s worth of work. But here she was, seeing another monster like Mordred before her very eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kallen stared at Alexander curiously, her eyes narrowing as if she was trying to see through him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Both Mordred and Alexander were so… strange and unique.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Although they lived in twopletely different worlds, they somehow… resembled each other, especially with how skilled they were with seemingly everything.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Enough that a suspicion that they’re the same person sh across her mind.


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">No… You’re being absurd. There’s no way they’re the same person.</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kallen shook her head and tried to return her focus back on her work. Though, without even realizing it herself, she would still asionally steal nces at Alexander as she worked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“He’s a machine, Suzaku. You shouldn’t put him on the same standard as a human.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hey, what do you mean by that?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alexander narrowed his eyes at Lelouch as he let out a smile and shrugged.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Geez, Lulu. Stop being distracted and focus on your work. Else, you won’t finish in time!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yes yes.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Shirley nudged Lelouch with her elbow and pouted when he answered so nonchntly. They have a lot of work to do today that she even skipped her swimming practice to help him so they can go on their date this afternoon. But here he was, wasting time and even teased Alexander like that. Was she the only one who’s looking forward to this date?


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s right, “Lulu”. Finish it quickly so you can go on your date.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wha- Y-You…!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alexander smirked triumphantly at Lelouch, who was blushing, and returned his attention to hisptop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile, Suzaku, who was stunned by Alexander’s absurdity before, finally snapped out of his daze.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Uhm… If you’re done, then what are you doing now, Alexander?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? I’m just doing a bit of work. It’s nothing big.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Work…?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku tilted his head and looked at Lelouch questioningly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Lelouch was the closest to Alexander, so if he wanted to know what work Alexander was referring to, then he had the best chance of knowing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Noticing his questioning gaze, Lelouch just smiled and nced at Alexander’sptop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hm?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku followed the direction of his gaze towards Alexander’sptop, and froze in shock.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Y-You… You’re making… millions…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">On Alexander’s screen, Suzaku saw more than 8 digits lined up with the Britannian Currency in front of it. And then, a few momentster, it increased.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Is this… a game? Was Alexander ying a business game where he’s pretending to earn money?


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It’s nothing much. They’re just a bit of pocket money I’ll be reinvesting in the market right now. I’m only taking a small percentage of it for my own use.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are you serious…?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Even if it was a small percentage, it would still be in the millions. With that much money, Alexander could easily buy numerous high end estates andnds in the royal capital of Britannia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suzaku stumbled back in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He… He’s never seen anyone with that kind of money… Muchless a high school student like Alexander. Even Milly, the heiress of the prominent and rich Ashford family would pale inparison when he recalled the ever increasing number on Alexander’s screen. He might be even richer than the Ashford family itself!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? What’s wrong? What’s he doing?”<span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">Noticing their exchange, Milly couldn’t help but be curious and approached Alexander, trying to peek at his screen.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But before she could, Alexander closed hisptop and looked at her with a narrowed gaze.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It’s not a good habit to peek at someone’s screen you know, Pres?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine, isn’t it! We’re friends! And I’m really curious about how much you’re making!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile, as Alexander tried to shoo away the ever nosy heiress, Kallen froze in her seat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Reinvesting…? A trader? And judging by Suzaku’s reaction, was he also a genius trader? Just like…


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">Mordred?</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kallen quickly shook her head.


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">No, there’s no way they’re the same person. He’s a Britannian, while Mordred… He’s fighting for us, the Japanese…</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Even though Alexander was kind towards Suzaku, despite his Japanese heritage, and had dered his stance towards Japanese to everyone, it’s still different from actually fighting for the freedom of the Japanese.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He’s a Britannian… There’s no way he’d risk his life and be the tip of the spear of the ck Knights.


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">I need to stop thinking about stupid things like this.</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kallen took a deep breath to calm herself, and tried her best to get Mordred and Alexander out of her mind.
