Moving on the fifth day of the week and it's time for me to train.

I have the rapier on my hands and Tusk is in front of me as we were on a cliff near a waterfall for this exercise. On to top of that, Lelouch is with him so he can watch me train for the day.

"This is a light sword, Sylvia. You should be able to carry this easily," Tusk said.

"I know," I replied back and I did.

"Just keep your hands on the sword. Do your swings."

And I did do my swings as I was instructed. Of course, I did also thrusting.

"Good," Lelouch walked up to me with a smile on his face. "Looks like you're a natural."

"Thanks," I smiled back at his complement.

"Now, it's time for you to use a gun," he pulled out that weapon.

"You're joking," I groaned at this. Really, me using a gun?

"Does it look like I'm joking?" he looks serious at this.

I got nothing to say about the argument as I realized he is not joking about I should use a gun. Anyway, he gives me a pistol and as I hold it...

"It's heavy."

"You'll get stronger," Lelouch gave me reassurance and started to make some instructions on how to use it. "To aim, just line up the sight of your target. Make sure you know where your finger is all the time, and don't put it on the trigger unless you want to hurt somebody. When you're ready to shoot, don't breathe too hard and hold your breath when you pull the trigger. Also, don't lock your elbows and just stay calm when you fire it. It has some loud noise."

He makes my posture right when I'm using a gun.

"Now, for your first test on using a gun, shoot a snake," he said.

"Like..." I saw a snake that Tusk is in conflict at the moment and I shot it in the head. "...that?"

"Like that," Lelouch replied. "See, it's not that bad."

"Do I have to use this?"

"Not unless you want to die in this world. Besides, your big sister is using one as far as I can tell. Now, for your second test, try hunting some animals in the wild. You know, rabbits, deer..."

"I get it," I groaned at this idea, but I have to get used to it. If I'm not mistaken, Lelouch has used a gun a lot of times, especially when he was Zero.

In the forest, I hid behind the bushes and with my knife on my hand, I stabbed the rabbit.

I guess this is what hunting is called.

After a good hunt, I went back to Lelouch and Tusk as they're talking about what next move their planning against Julio.

"Sylvia, there you are," Lelouch approached me. "We got a mission for tonight. Are you in?"

"I'm in," I replied in determination.


Tonight, we were arriving near the front entrance of the Misurugi Empire's Nuclear Power Plant. I didn't wear my Zero costume at the time.

"Why am I not wearing the armor and Zero costume?" I asked.

"Because we need to see how much you learned with him," Lelouch replied and he's obviously talking about Tusk. In fact, we're hiding under the bushes with two guards watching the front entrance. "Now, for your first task, try knocking two guards."

I nodded at this as I walked with stealth behind the guards. Once that is done, I kicked one on the left on his knees and a punch to his head and I jump up high to kick the one on the right with a punch to his chin. That knocks them down.

"Very good, Sylvia," Lelouch praised my move. "Now, it's my turn."

His move involves with him pulling out a pistol with a suppressor and shooting two guards in the head, killing them.

"Here's what you do with witnesses," he explained. "As far as I watched Ange coming to your fake rescue, she didn't kill that brown-haired girl of a former classmate."

"You mean Akiho," I explained.

"Pop quiz. She saw her but why didn't she killed her?" he asked.

"I guess it's because sister tried to show her that she's still the same girl even as a Norma, but I guess that failed," I guessed. "Instead of killing her, she knocked her down, but I think Akiho found a way to escape from her grasp and called on the authorities to get her."

"Exactly. No wonder she has no concept stealth, but I do," he confirmed my answer.

"Don't forget about me," Tusk added.

"Me, too. Thanks to you, Tusk, for teaching me on how to hide," I also added.

"Anyway, she could have killed any authorities and royal guards when she came back here, but she didn't," Lelouch said. "Now, onto the plant..."

We went to the second floor to see a guard approaching so we hid to a wall.

"Let me take care of this," Tusk pulls out a knife and killed the enemy.

"Anyway, what are we doing here?" I asked.

"We're going to give this country a power outage, that's what," Lelouch replied. "And I think of this is our first move against Julio."

"I see..." I understand.

Anyway, we were heading to the main control room of the plant where this is the source of power to the country.

"We plant the bombs," Tusk said with his bag full of bombs and we all planted them all over the place.

After this, we left the plant in the vehicle that he has in order for us to escape. Lelouch pressed the red button on the remote control and the bombs explode, destroying the plant, and I know it will bring a big blackout to the country.

I know the humans will be able to rebuild the plant, but I think we got enough time to help Angelise against Julio.

This is my second mission and I'm never going to forget it.
