The Flower Petal Revolution Stage
1 - 03

Ten minutes earlier...

'Esto Nobilis', which means be noble.

On the car door, there was a prisai-shaped school emblem with bright laurel leaves around it, and the words were written on the bottom.

"Mobile.."

He voiced that one word.

Selogan Academy Nobility Caelum Flumen is "The noble should guide." Those words spoke of how those with superior qualities should act like a true noble.

"Good words, right?"

"Yes, you're right."

"They said that Chairman Mikagami ordered that they engrave it. In addition.. beyond suspicion this journey takes a long time."

It's so dark outside. It was late at night.

Adella Kristi and Anna Silenzios have just returned from a visit requested by the local government. They have traveled to many regions and conducted a number of negotiations.

Such work was generally Adella's duty, so Anna did not need to accompany her.

However, Adella always took Anna with her because opportunities like this are very rare.

One will gain more knowledge by experiencing it for themselves. Theory alone is useless without practical experience. There are many things that can only be learned from the atmosphere around the actual negotiation table.

"I'm sure the Chandeliers are asleep"

"Without us there, they must have become more relaxed."

"Don't you think that you tend to be too strict?"

"I never tried to make them feel distracted."

The Academy's large car drove south through a dark and empty public road.

The city lights look so far away. In this region, anything that was outside of the city looked like a dark sea.

"Mobile... Noble... Noble... Nobility..."

He muttered those words, thinking of things that only he could think of.

"For this reason the Academy is dedicated."

"Good words, but also words that feel mysterious."

"Be worthy, be proud, be strength, be beauty, be justice... The word has many meanings. Chairman Mikagami wishes you could become a true noble."

"'True noble'?"

"Humanity has experimented with many systems, organizations, and laws, and what each of these experiments has found is the difficulty of creating people who are capable of leading. Chairman Mikagami expects more from Caelum Flumen not only limited to ordinary schools for the elite. He wanted to create people who could break down the boundaries of this diverse and overly complicated age of twilight, and take humanity to a new level."

"Can we really do that? That sounds pretty absurd..."

Anna closed her eyes, remembering something in her mind

"You have what it takes. That's why the Academy accepts you. Believe in yourself and be proud. The academy is still new, and its history is short. You'll be one of the first graduates."

"good. I will study hard to achieve that goal."

"Well, Miss Otonashi, may I ask you a question?"

"Please."

"Are you interested in men?"

"A......."

Anna opened her eyes wide.

"Ohh.......".

Unable to process what happened, Anna glanced everywhere.

"Hmmm...Excuse me... I had auditory hallucinations and it made me lose myself for a moment."

"That's worrying. You are a symbol among the Radiances. You have to take better care of yourself."

"If you're tired, come to my room. I'll do the treatment for you."

"N-not that serious. Such a thing is not necessary. By the way, Professor Adella, you said you had a question for me."

"Oh, yeah. I guess I didn't do it the right way. Allow me to repeat it clearly. The question is as follows: "Are you interested in men?"

"A......."

Anna pouted and squinted without even realizing it.

"Professor Adella."

"There's no need to be ashamed. It's natural that teenagers your age are attracted to the opposite sex. It would be weird if not."

"But..."

"Sexuality is one of the things that makes humans human. Good adults channel it to interact with the opposite sex, create communities we call 'families', and become part of society. This has been going on for thousands of years."

Adella glanced at Anna, she understood very well that this kind of conversation made Anna uncomfortable.

"I am not against those who stray from that path, but the breakdown of marriage and family relationships causes many problems for society, such as declining birth rates. It is important to consider the role that has been given to you as a human being. Do you disagree?"

"true."

Still putting on a pouting face, Anna answered her teacher's long swipe with one word.

"So, are you interested in men?"

"But Professor, it's..."

"There is no need to be ashamed of your natural urges and biological desires. Sexuality is what leads humanity from generation to generation, helps us create civilization, and makes us the ruler of the planet. Do you disagree?"

"As you say."

"Keep, are you interested in men?"

Anna answered him in a soft voice, almost whispering.

"Do you have a certain type?"

"Well, I never really thought about it..."

"Are you usually talking to other Chandelier members about all this?"

"T-sometimes.. Yep!  Sometimes! And I was never the one to start a conversation!"

Anna returned to her voice, affirming her answer.

"If you may know, what is the purpose of these questions?"

"Just checking. Don't worry about it."

"Next, do you know what to do if you get a partner?"

"Pa-couple?!"

"Kiss, caresses, and what happens after, I mean."

"Professor Adella Kristi, are you hiding something from me?"

Can't take it anymore, Anna glared at him. However, his teacher only looked away in response.

"I'm not hiding anything."

"Professor. Please look at me when you say that."

"...."

"...."

Can't stand the cold atmosphere of a Siberian snowstorm, Adella admitted.

"I didn't have time to mention this before, but tomorrow, the Caelum Flumen Nobles Academy will have-"

Ciiit...Derrr

At that moment, there was a sudden impact and the car slipped out of the way.

The driver tried to avoid the person who suddenly jumped into the middle of the road and then hit the road safety fence.

Since they were not speeding, and because of its power as a VIP car, the car was not too damaged, but the situation was much worse than just an accident.

Now a group of armed men surrounded the car. The figure that suddenly jumped into the path was just a trap meant to stop him.

In the center of the group, there was a man wearing an alien mask that was nearly a meter long vertically. A figure like the leader pointed his gun at the back door of the car.

"You guys are from the Academy, right? We are the Anti-Grace Movement. Now, get out of the car or we kill."

The gunmen then opened fire on the car glass.

"Wait, Silenziosa! You don't have to go out!""

Anna had put her hand on the door, but Adella stopped her like a teacher should.

"I'm sure they're here for me. Nor do I want to put you in danger."

"But you are-"

"Hold your fire!"

Anna walked out without hesitation.

Like piranhas swarming over a piece of meat, armed groups wearing rubber masks surrounded it.

Anna glared at the alien masked man without the slightest trace of fear in her eyes.

His sharp gaze was filled with a strong determination, making the alien masked prie step back, like a monster resuscitated that he would die in the sun.

The rubber mask was the only reason why his comrades did not see the moment of his miserable weakness. In order to shake off the shame from her fear, she acted like a brave person.

"One of the Chandeliers! Wow, I didn't expect to catch something this big!"

Having the action culminate in something unexpected, the alien masked man gets excited again.

"Friends! This is not a fortune! This is proof that our actions and purification plans are morally right!"

"REALLY! RIGHT!"

One of the members of the group armed with a Frankestien monster mask greeted him with a scorch.

"Professor Adella and our driver are ordinary people. You guys are here just for me, aren't you? I won't let you hurt them."

"NONSENSE! THAT'S BULLSHIT!

Members of the masked armed group of Frankestien monsters refuse Anna's request.

"They are rebels! Stupid, inhuman liberals!"

While the other members who were masked by fish-man monsters voiced their opinions.

"CONSCIOUS THEM! SAVE THEM!"

"Based on the cursed witch! You're a sinner, but the traitors who sided with you are far worse! We will take them and bring them to justice in the courts of mankind! We will make you all face your sins!"

"Civilized..."

Anna clenched giginyam withstanding anger.

"You are the trash that pollutes the earth! Don't speak human language! Hmph, but this won't last long. You will understand how your people should speak after we have finished resuscitating you, you are the pollution that pollutes the earth!"

The leader's words and their unexpected catch made the group take up arms and cheer.

Suddenly...

"On a quiet night illuminated by the moon and the stars in the sky, what do you do to ruin his martyrdom?"

A voice with pride greeted them.
