( Miu's POV )
When Sakuya stood on the platform where I was, she had with her a huge portrait of Yuuki almost as big as her and she carefully placed it next to her.
Sakuya: People, I was in the same position as you, and I must tell you, all the pain you feel and horrible memories that you are trying to push to the back of your head or pretend didn't happen, all of that is real and you only have the chance to leave that behind through the benevolence of King Yuuki, you can go back to fearing every day that you will be the next victim of a kabanes or be part of a new world where you can truly live and your children can grow up, that is serving our new lord Yuuki.
Sakuya after giving her speech, knelt next to Yuuki's portrait, and all the people we saved followed her example, I guess things were going to go smoother from now on.

World, W4E.
( Yuuki's POV )
When the school year finally started, I was surrounded by women curious about the abnormality that I was and that didn't just happen to me, the other two boys at the school also found themselves in a similar situation, my attendance at this school was supposed to be a secret, but when you want to keep something a secret, rumors will always come out, before classes started many reporters wanted to talk to me, but Chifuyu didn't let them.
We, the only men in school, ended up in the same class, one of them sat at the front in the center line, I was in the same row in the second to last seat, and the last guy was sitting diagonally in front of me, Tsukiumi was sitting to my right and another girl to my left, she was glaring at the three men in the room.
When Professor Maya entered the room, and the introductions began in alphabetical order, The girl who was glaring at me was called Cecilia Alcott from England, then there was the first boy named Charles Dunois from France, he had blonde hair tied in a low ponytail and when he finished his performance with a smile many of the girls were delighted, that put him at the top of my suspect list.
Maya: Kurokawa-kun, it's your turn.
Yuuki: Sure, my name is Kurokawa B. Yuuki, this thing of piloting IS is new to me, but if you want to help me with that, I am willing to take on any challenge you want to throw at me.
During my presentation I felt some very concentrated looks coming from the boy Charles and Cecilia next to me, after me, it was the last boy's turn to introduce himself, and unlike Charles, he was quite nervous about this situation, That put him low on the list as a suspect but I couldn't let my guard down, he said his name was Orimura Ichika, he took a deep breath as if he were going to say something important but he only gave a short introduction.
With the introductions finished, Chifuyu entered the classroom, she was also going to be in charge of this class, and when Ichika saw her, he called her by name, Orimura is also Chifuyu's surname, I guess those two are related.
Chifuyu tapped him on the head and told him to address her as sensei at school, and then we were able to start classes properly and I put all my attention on that, the IS, real name Infinite Stratos, the truth is with our technology we can build our own units the only piece of technology that interested me was the core.
I asked Maya for details about the core but she replied that only the creator of them, Shinono Tabane, tiene el conocimiento de como crearlos, There are only 467 IS cores in existence and she distributed them around the world so that they could be analyzed and new IS units could be created, incredibly confident that she was sure that no one could duplicate her technology, that is going to change really soon.
Also, why IS could only be used by women is not something she hasn't revealed, I can pilot them because I can control technology directly, but it was a mystery why the others had that ability.
With free time between classes, Ichika left the classroom with a girl, and a group of girls pulled Charles out of the classroom, I shared a look with Tsukiumi and she followed one of them, I was going to leave the classroom too but the girl who spent most of the classes glaring at me spoke to me.
Cecilia: declaring an open challenge when I'm here, that's bold, did you do that especially to get my attention?
Yuuki: Huh? Are you someone important or something?
Cecilia: What insolence! I am the candidate to represent England, I'm the elite of the elite.
Yuuki: I'm sorry, I didn't know anything about IS before a week ago.
Cecilia: what? Under what rock on what forgotten continent have you been living?
Yuuki: a small but beautiful kingdom called Babylon, I think you would fall in love with the place if you saw it.
Cecilia: No thanks, you're a complete beginner, and you're immediately challenging the entire room, are you crazy?
Yuuki: Maybe, but what's wrong with that? Aren't we in this school to be better pilots, aren't you aiming to be the strongest? Why would I run away from a duel with you, Miss Elite?
Cecilia: Hmmf, very well, I'll take your challenge, newbie.
Chifuyu: I've heard enough, I'll officiate this duel tomorrow after school.
Yuuki: Sensei, what are you doing here?
Chifuyu: Classes started a minute ago, now, take your seats and let me begin.
We were very focused on our conversation, standing very close to each other, and the other students were watching us from their seats, Tsukiumi was glaring at me, I'll have to explain to her what happened later.
After class, I went to my room in the dorms, which was the same one I was using the last week, I called the girls in Kouten to share information and find out how things were going with Miu's mission and while I was dealing with that, I heard someone opening the door to my room.
