CODE DRACONIS GEASS
EPISODE 2
GRAUZAUBERER
YEAR XXXX
Magic.
That's right, magic exists.
If he had only heard that, Lelouch would have laughed and found that statement ridiculous and straight out of a sad clown.
However now that he is in this new world and witnessed what 'true' magic is, it makes him feel stupid.
Not to mention that when CC gave him his Geass and discovered what to do with his powers, it was classified as magic, but it never was.
The closest thing to magic he can consider was the C world, just like the things they did in the cult that his VV, his uncle, ran.
No
VV was never his uncle, he was never his family, neither Charles nor Marianne.
For Lelouch, they are complete trash who should have been killed many years ago, because of how hypocritical and trash they ended up being.
"You're having those memory attacks again, Lelouch."
Lelouch turned his head to look at the person who caught his attention.
This being the same girl who had frozen the room and who revealed to him that she now made a pact with a demon.
For now only CC found the fun in that.
But he still came out of his stupor "Thank you Lavinia, I got distracted thinking about something." Her words of thanks carried sincerity instead of grace and arrogance.
The little girl hadn't changed much since he met her (it had only been 2 weeks since that time), but the only thing she was different about was that she was now wearing a gray robe (living up to the gray wizards' nickname) and a witch's hat. which seems to have taken a great liking to him.
But at his response the little girl only frowned, it was adorable to see because the hat reflected her tenderness. "It is the fifth time that your mind and memories have been distracted, it seems that the past matters more to you than this."
Lelouch could not argue anything against what Lavinia said, it has been 2 weeks since he and
CC ended up in this world, after ruling hers as emperor and witch, but now she's in this new world.
Like a student.
A student of magic.
Once they did that life review, CC was the only one who found it funny.
Not only that, he also tells him to stop regretting everything he did.
To her surprise she was not the only one, Mephisto has also done it and not only that, he also gave her support, telling her that he is not the only one who had to leave things behind or get his hands dirty for someone or something, apart from the fact that when he mentioned the type of imperialist and fascist government of his family, he showed clear disgust and anger about it, at least until he told him the final part of his life, the requiem, where the entire reign of his former nation ended, with that he He seemed quite happy.
Furthermore, Lelouch and CC learned that Mephisto is quite liberal and that he had left/self-exiled from the underworld itself due to the form of government that existed at that time.
Underworld.
The home where demons live.
According to Mephisto, that place is larger than the earth in terms of masses of continents and countries, because there are no oceans, the only sources of water were lakes and small rivers.
Furthermore, it is not only inhabited by demons, but also by fallen angels, those who deserted the teachings of God and fell due to sin, staining their wings black to highlight that they will never again be pure as their creator/father wanted.
When mentioning God he also told them about the angels and that they are in heaven.
Of course, he had told them that it was impossible for these places to exist directly on the earth so they are all in different dimensions that connect to specific points on the earth using the 'flow' of mana that exists in the world.
And right now he is taking classes to discover how to manipulate the flow and thus perform magic.
This is somewhat more difficult than I thought.
Well Lavinia was right, since his arrival in this new world and his 'enrollment' in Grauzauberer, he has only done one thing, CC I call it staying in the past and crying, but for Lelouch it was always going back and forcing himself to remember all the things that has done in his world, whether good or bad.
It is still difficult for him to think of this world as a new opportunity without his memory making him aware of the people he had hurt and that he did not deserve this.
That they should send him back to that space where his body would be tearing apart and causing him the most pain possible.
The only kind of comfort she has is when she spends the nights with CC, but it's only when they have nothing to do anymore, sometimes she wondered how it was easy for her to forget and move on about life.
Until you remember that she's probably pretty old and old (he's not going to tell her that in front of her), maybe older than her old empire, plus she was already a Geass user before being truly immortal, so it's likely to assume that she's already He has become accustomed to losing people and moving forward regardless of the emotional weight.
That was the answer Lelouch had about his partner.
But before continuing with her thoughts, Lavinia put him out of her mind again, this time she pulled him by his sleeve along with giving him a pleading look as opposed to giving him a scolding, she asked him for something.
"Don't make fun of me, but would you be kind enough to accompany me to make something to eat, we've been here for a while and I'm starting to get hungry, wipe that smile off your face." His last words filled with annoyance at the amused look Lelouch was giving him.
And how could he not, he had just scolded him for being distracted and now selfishly asks him to accompany him to get some food.
With a final look and a nod, they both left what they were doing at the moment and headed to the guild dining room.
.
They both walked in silence, but instead of being awkward it was one that they both felt comfortable with, it wasn't necessary for either of them to talk.
That's what Lelouch would like, instead Lavinia started to be talkative, but she can't help it, she is still a little girl, of course she couldn't stay silent for long, she would also be taking the opportunity to make a scathing comment towards His person.
"I heard that this time they are going to give out some cakes with coffee, we should order that as a quiet dinner, don't you think?"
"Yes, if you keep eating sweets your teeth will start to get damaged from always eating the same thing."
"At least it won't make me look like a twig."
NOTE: No offense to anyone but, I remind you that ALL the characters in Code Geass except for a few always looked 'thin' (that includes Lelouch)
One would wonder why they fight like that, well that's because it was Lelouch's fault.
When a few days had passed after meeting each other, she called Lelouch a nickname, one that brought back bittersweet memories.
Lulu
That nickname that 2 women had given him and used that have and will always have a place in his memories and heart.
Unfortunately at that moment Lelouch was having that attack of his memories and did not react in the best way.
It finally ended with the intervention of CC and Mephisto to separate them because Lavinia was about to use her Sacred Gear because the argument would be getting out of control.
When everything was over, Lavinia went almost crying to her room while Lelouch could only stay, receiving reprimanding looks from CC as from Mephisto.
He wasn't going to complain or say that siding with Lavinia is wrong, he knew very well that it wasn't her fault for saying that, he never explained to her why she shouldn't say it, all he did was yell at her and say mean things to her.
After that argument Lavinia began to be more distant with him and give him some passive-aggressive comments.
Lelouch had tried to apologize to her, giving her a doll as an apology.
A terrible decision, since when Lavinia saw the gift she began to make a terrified face and go into a panic attack, then she yelled at him to leave while throwing anything she had within reach at him.
One would wonder why a girl would react in that way to see a doll given to her as a gift.
Lelouch got his answer from Mephisto and when he did he felt quite uncomfortable to say the least.
.
Lavinia currently trusts Mephisto above everyone at the moment, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Lavinia standing next to Mephisto most of the time, but getting back to the topic of the doll, Lavinia had told him that she is afraid of them. and she can no longer feel comfortable with these, all due to a trauma left by her Sacred Gear.
Sacred Gear.
Sacred artifacts created by the biblical god himself, the mention of God did not amuse him and he did not like using that term about any being.
These artifacts were given to humans for their own 'protection' from supernatural beings.
Although for Lelouch it now made them better prey and prizes for any of these beings, especially the demons.
Mephisto had told him about the Evil Pieces and their use by the elite classes of demonic society including Mephisto himself.
When he was about to reproach him for that, saying that it seems like slavery with less cruelty, he stopped him by showing him that he already had his own.
But he had been surprised when he saw that all the pieces were there, well almost all of them, the only one missing was the queen piece, he had told him that he used it on a dragon.
Yes, they also exist and are real and powerful.
Specifically the now former dragon king Tannin.
Lelouch believed that he had done it to show off that he is the master of a dragon, but he had gotten another surprise when Mephisto had told him that it was actually Tannin himself who asked him to be reincarnated into a demon, knowing that he would lose his status as dragon king and He would become a low class demon.
Only to have their own territory in which they grew food that was essential for a race of dragons to survive on sustenance. He did not want to see a species of his race become extinct from him and took matters into his own hands.
Furthermore, being a low-class demon only lasted 2 months, as Tannin was a being of incredible power, the demons recognized him for this and it didn't take long to promote him as a supreme-class demon.
That was another thing that Lelouch didn't like at all, now the underworld seems to him almost an exact copy of Britannia, using a system in which one is demoted above another.
Surprisingly, Mephisto agreed with him and agreed with him about that way of thinking about his race.
Of course, he made it clear to him that he should not think that way about an entire race because of a simple system or group of individuals. When he said those words to Lelouch, memories of his sisters and the Ashford family came to mind along with the members of the student council, with the exception of Nina, he hates her, all because of her creations and it doesn't help that he was forced to use them during the war, but anyway, they were one of the few people who made him see that in Britannia There were not only selfish elites.
Because of that he owed him an apology, but Mephisto dismissed it, he clarified that he was already used to it and that he had left the underworld for those reasons, but that he would also like to return to his home, but now he is totally committed to Grauzauberer, Lelouch raised an eyebrow at what Mephisto said.
Apparently that devil still has many secrets, but he wasn't going to complain. The deal was to teach him magic and admit him to the guild. The devil didn't have to tell him his private life.
Everything would have continued like this, if it weren't for Lelouch remembering the main reason and the information he asked for about the Sacred Gear.
Mephisto also realized so he told him the following that he knew about these.
But I clarify that he was not an expert on the subject, since since Lavinia he has not met many Sacred Gear users who have ended up in Grauzauberer.
Apart from being 'protection' artifacts for humans, they were classified into two types. The first is sacred gear that gives you some measly advantage in some situation, but it is only when it has a terrible user who doesn't know what to do with it.
Lelouch contrasted that by saying that any power, even if it is poor, is always useful in some way, plus just having one of these seems to infringe the rules of the natural order, since humans are quite fragile if not trained correctly. Remembering the physical abilities of both Sayoko and Suzaku.
Mephisto agreed with him on that, except in regards to cheating, since that category includes Sacred Gears like Lavinia's.
The longinus.
Weapons kill gods, Lavinia possesses one of them, specifically Absolute Demise, the ice doll that causes instant death due to the cold it produces.
When Lelouch found out about that, he realized something, the reason why Lavinia was afraid of the doll he gave her, then he had thought the worst, but before that Mephisto stopped him.
I assure you that Lavinia had not killed anyone, whether on purpose or by accident, so it's okay, it's just the loneliness she had and the fact that the only thing she could talk to was her Sacred gear left her with the horrible feeling. that he could only talk to something inanimate.
With that explanation finished Lelouch realized the mistake he had just made, and only thought about one thing.
He was an idiot and he should apologize.
.
Unfortunately that's easier said than done, Lavinia hasn't been very open about treating Lelouch kindly, but at least she's making progress.
Before he didn't talk to him and gave him dirty looks, but now he at least asks him to keep him company since he doesn't know anyone or trust anyone else.
At least he gets along well with CC, whom he treats like a kind of older sister and sometimes they get together to make fun of him.
Before Lelouch could continue with his thoughts he and Lavinia had arrived at the cafeteria.
Being a guild of great renown and size, the place had to provide as much space as possible to accommodate a large number of people. So the 'cafeteria' looked more like a place where large parties would be held, plus there were only 4 tables with a large number of chairs, all individual.
The whole place was full, well almost full since the members of Grauzauberer came and went, apparently all the magicians were quite suspicious and liked to keep their advances and research among those they trusted the most, so sometimes it was quite strange to see some large groups of members together chatting so pleasantly about the work they have done.
Despite being full, the couple soon found some empty places to sit, the best thing was that they could distinguish a head of green hair in those places, they both smiled when they saw who it was.
For CC, the change from being an accomplice in a rebellion and 'companion' of the emperor to being a student of magic would be described as radical.
However, this was nothing to her, she had lived too long, she saw empires and cities fall and rise, and during that time she had to look for ways to adapt to find someone who could meet the expectations that her contract had.
In the end she managed it, but now she and her 'witch' were here, studying magic.
Needless to say, he loved it.
Since this is better than harming herself to try to deal with things.
Furthermore, since he lost his memories and recovered them, he felt that his personality changed, that must have also been because he once again had a morality to follow, this being one of the reasons why he decided to betray Lelouch's parents, after that he decided to follow him. with his requiem plan.
Unfortunately, their encounter with the 'dimensional supervisor' happened and now they are here.
She always clung to her saying that external or physical pain was easier and gentler to overcome than internal pain, but she proved to be wrong.
She also had no understanding of time to know how long they were in that place, and she also doesn't like to think about it, she still had nightmares because of the pain and she wasn't the only one, sometimes it was Lelouch or on rare occasions it was the two of them together.
"Do you have something to do or can we talk for a while?"
'You say or think his name and he will come to you'. His thoughts were now directed towards that person.
Turning her head a little she realized that her witcher, Lelouch was next to her, out of the corner of her eye she could also glimpse Lavinia, that girl is adorable, but now she must answer the question.
"No, I was actually thinking about you right now, plus I see that Lavinia is being more 'friendly' to you if you came with her to the dining room." CC knew very well what Lavinia's mood is like in any matter related to Lelouch, fortunately for him, apart from Mephisto, the little girl has also been visiting and having conversations with her.
So it's because of CC that Lavinia is willing to give Lelouch the benefit of the doubt and see if he'll accept any apology.
Lelouch was fully aware of this, since he doesn't have many things to do and likewise he doesn't have many places to go, so he wasn't surprised to hear Lavinia and CC's voice together in the room he had given them. Mephisto when they finished 'negotiating'.
Fortunately, Lelouch wouldn't have to worry about her telling him anything private about them, he trusts CC and even though Lavinia is a girl who has never seen them in her life, he wouldn't have to tell her anything about their pasts, but he didn't tell lies about them either.
It is thanks to that that Lavinia also began to see him differently and stop giving him murderous glances.
He would have continued in his thoughts, but he realized that Lavinia was coming directly towards them, the little girl had a satisfied smile on her face, apparently having eaten today with pleasure.
.
After a while the immortal couple and Lavinia who now finished her meal sat at the table, they were in a comfortable silence until Lavinia realized something.
"CC, why do you still eat pizza, even though the cafeteria has a greater variety of foods?" Lavinia always wondered why the green-haired girl spent her time eating pizza. In fact, when she went to her room, she found several pizza boxes lying on the floor or sometimes piled up in large towers.
And it's currently forming one of those towers on the cafeteria table.
CC, instead of responding like a normal person, tried to create a philosophical argument, was interrupted by Lelouch. "She just likes to spend money on it and bother other people, so they pay her bills."
Oh, so Lelouch is going to use that, well she's not going to stop.
"Don't listen to him, he simply doesn't want to admit that pizza is a great gastronomic product that marked a great advance when it comes to food manufactured by humans, you could even say that it is magical because of how it is prepared." Once again Lelouch interrupts her.
"You are ranting, the only thing you are eating right now is not some example of gastronomic advancement and some product miraculously obtained by magic, it is just the limited time offer that the pizza hut had and that you bought with the money that Mephisto gives us" . Once again, Lelouch takes it upon himself to interrupt her and put an end to her philosophical rants about why pizza is something unique.
While the immortal couple began to argue, Lavinia only watched the couple's interaction. It wouldn't be the first time she saw them argue about CC's 'strange' pizza addiction according to Lelouch.
Lelouch.
The moody, distracted, antisocial idiot with anger issues.
She still doesn't forgive or accept Lelouch's apology.
The only thing that saves him from not wanting to talk to him are the stories that CC told him, she was the one who told him why Lelouch's reaction was so violent and he lashed out at her.
He had lost many things, and because of that way of calling him 'Lulu', he remembered all those that he had lost, also because that nickname was used by a certain number of people for whom he has a place in his heart and because he called by that nickname Lelouch remembered them.
While Lavinia was now understanding Lelouch's reaction to her better, it didn't mean he had the right to treat her that way, he was never open or liked to share things about his life before coming to Grauzauberer.
How is he supposed to know something like that, fortunately he seems to know that he was the one who was wrong in his reaction, at least that's what he's trying to express to her when he looks at her.
However, she also remembers that I tried to give her a doll, unfortunately the memory of those things terrifies her and gives her chills, but Lelouch was not to blame, he does not know that fact either, the truth is that neither had the slightest knowledge of the other.
Social ignorance is not good for anyone.
He also realized something. "They didn't answer my question"
Likewise, it's not like I know much about CC, I only knew her 'name', however it was only 2 letters.
.

1 MONTH LATER
unoccupied room
"Don't force your body, you must stay calm."
"That's easier said than done, I don't know what exactly I should see or feel." Were Lelouch's words before Mephisto's 'council'.
Currently the two are in a special room for studies and practices for those who are just starting out, as well as those who must learn to see the 'flow' of waste in the world, Lelouch had brought some books that would help him in the best of cases. .
"Come on Lelouch, it should be easier for you, you have mystical eyes, which is equivalent to cheating."
Lavinia's voice ends up breaking him out of his concentration and reminding him that he and Mephisto aren't exactly the only ones using the room.
Right now Lavinia is working on different magic formulas, while practicing basic elemental spells against a practice dummy, she has only been able to start with the basics of Western magic, Mephisto instructed her to start with this method due to her Italian heritage. since the magic system would be easier for her to learn.
It is incredible that she is so many steps away, but according to Mephisto any human would be capable of learning magic, but there are even some who find it natural and learn quickly, apparently Lavinia among those humans, and she has not even used her sacred gear.
Heck, even CC was able to achieve it, apparently she could now describe herself as a 'true' witch, if she reaches the level of understanding and power necessary, since, according to Mephisto, she is quite a beginner.
"*sigh* Lavinia, you know you don't owe things like that lightly, how about you better help CC, it seems like she still doesn't understand some things?" While Mephisto didn't want to be harsh on the girl, she knew better than to let him get her way all the time, for now the only thing he can do right now is try to keep them apart and prevent them from fighting.
"Mystical eyes, is that really the best thing you could come up with?" He didn't have to turn around to see Lelouch's flat face, his tone gave away his mood well, but the only excuse he could give for those who have come to see the 'gift' that CC gave to Lelouch.
Mystical eyes, even within supernatural standards, are a rarity not as much as a longinus class Sacred Gear, because those are few and always difficult to locate, but the former are rare because they are considered an anomaly or mutation in the body. of any being that is considered 'magical'.
Shaking his head from stress and fatigue, Mephisto says a few last words before leaving the place. "Look Lelouch, I like you, in fact you are like a respite for me, you work running this place, but you know well that I cannot control the emotions of other beings, since it is what I hate the most and besides, I cannot do it even if I used all my strength." can. I only ask that you somehow find a way to make Lavinia forgive you and achieve at least a bond of friendship with her, unfortunately I have to go." Turning his back on him, Mephisto went to the only door that connected to the hallway and then went to his office.
But before that. "I guess there's someone important waiting for you, if you decide to leave me and her alone in the same room." Mephisto knew that wasn't a question. "Is this someone I should know about?" At that Mephisto let out a small laugh.
"*Hehehe* Well...yes, in fact yes, he is someone important both inside and outside of Grauzauberer, he is quite well known where I come from...Hm, I think I'm sure he might like you a lot and vice versa." With those words and hints Mephisto was able to leave the office and leave Lelouch alone, along with Lavinia and CC, but that was not all, he also made something clear to him.
There is an important demon in his office, but it is best for everyone that you do not interrupt his meeting, or else it would be.
I have a clean business meeting, you don't have to worry.
Shaking his head Lelouch headed to the same spot in the room where he was practicing. I take one of the books that explain the basics of magic. With the basics summarized by a certain Merlin, the man who discovered and developed the system you are using right now.
Unfortunately this book was written and brought from the British Isles.
It's not exactly the same, but you're not going to find this funny.
He was about to think about 'that', until he was paralyzed by something.
"You have mystical eyes, which is equivalent to cheating."
At that, he thought of something. Something that would turn out well, or in the least of the cases he can say that he tried, but before doing anything he turned his head in the direction of Lavinia.
"Thank you Lavinia, you gave me an idea."
Now with a motivation, Lelouch turned his gaze to the blackboard in the room, which had a basic and simple formula to read, according to Mephisto, but this time he had to do it with something.
He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again, only this time in both of them was the crimson symbol, the 'gift' that his 'witch' gave him for his contract.
.
MEPHISTO'S OFFICE
"This is a real surprise, I didn't expect to receive a visit from you of all beings." Mephisto's words reflected nothing but exhaustion and relief for whoever was in the chair in front of his desk.
"As much as I love talking to you, we both know this isn't quite a social visit." The words of the person who was sitting in front of Mephisto also expressed tiredness in his voice, but in the same way he had a firmness of someone who is in a position of power. "Mephisto, I know you should at least have an idea of why I came here, I am asking you a big favor and I require some of your wizards for the job." Now his words carried a seriousness and power that could intimidate anyone.
But Mephisto wasn't just anyone. "I know exactly what you want, but that's not why I'm going to 'loan' you to someone under my command. We both know that if someone finds out what you do and helps you, I can tell you that there will be chaos and heads will roll, and I assure you that ours will be among them, our status will not matter, so Diehauser Belial, don't use that tone with me."
Now the one recognized as Diehauser Belial, 'The Emperor', received his answer, he was about to reply, he paralyzed.
But it was not the only one.
The same thing happened to Mephisto.
And they both felt something.
A powerful spell.
With power comparable to a supreme class.
With a glance, both of them immediately took action, activating the magic circles with their respective clan emblems and heading towards the source where it originated from.
.
They were not ready for what they saw.
A torrent of flames was filling the room and this surprised Mephisto.
Lelouch had a pained face as he extended his hand from which flames came out.
But there was something strange about him or more specific, his eyes, because in them there was a red symbol in the shape of a bird.
END
Were you expecting Sirzechs and the topic of Rias' marriage?
Well let me tell you that that will not happen yet.
There will be a lot of time before Lelouch can even meet Sirzechs.
OH AND DON'T DON'T I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY LELOUCH DID WHAT HE DID.
THANK YOU FOR ADDING TO YOUR FAVORITES AND FOLLOWING THIS STORY, THAT GAVE ME MOTIVATION TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER AND DEVELOP IT
