"Certainly." The princess answered promptly, unintentionally reminding those who were sensitive enough to catch it that she had been taught well in terms of propriety. Her cover story was that she hails from some distant nobility, after all. It should hardly be surprising.
With her summary finished, Rowena stood and handed in her assignment, taking her leave quietly so as not to disturb the rest of the class. So... Her class was over, and there was still time until the next one. It felt... Odd, that she had no overly strict schedule to follow, unlike if she was still attending the Britannian court, or if she was somewhere, making an appearance as a princess of Britannia. Freedom came with the disguise, one that -- although the thought of being safely away from the battlefield was something she did not savor -- lifted the heavy weight of responsibility from her shoulders, albeit temporarily. It was, admittedly, nice to be another face in the crowd sometimes.
With time to spare before her next class, Rowena began to walk to the school cafeteria, seeking the breakfast she had missed this morning. Perhaps nourishment would help bring her mood up a little, after seeing the First Prince's broadcast.

Solo was heading towards the fountain as he had to sneak around the cafeteria on the way. He had made it without seeing any teachers, and felt he was safe and sound as he made his move towards the fountain that could be found near the back of the building.
Most of the teachers were ... in class, but, still knowing his luck a teacher might let out earlier or take thier class outdoors. IN which case, if it just happens to be one of the people whom have some inkling of his schedule he would be busted. There was few people ...here, so he thought he was lucky as he tries to make the move towards the fountain.

Lucian closed his book after the last student brought up their paper. He stood up, left the room and made his way out of the school. I need a smoke he thought as he went towards the direction of the fountain, after walking a little while he saw Solo. So he ditched Lit. cause I'm subbing for the week he thought as he got right behind him and placed his hand on his shoulder "So, this is where you were during class." he said coolly "Well, I suppose I can let it slide this one time, but do try and make it there tomorrow."

Ahren looked towards Asura standing up and tapping his shoulder. "We should go. Our next class is tomorrow. The undercroft is accessed through a door with a code for clearance on the first floor. Lets go." He said with a fake smile like they were discussing plans for what to do after class. Ironically enough that was what they were doing.

"Alright lets go." he said standing up with the same fake smile. It seems the princess didn't notice me...thats a relief he thought, he looked back towards the empty desk where Lucian was sitting Its been a long time Lucian. He lowered his voice to a whisper "Sir, if I ever run into Leon on the battle field again, I'll need something to enhance my reflexes....how may genetic researchers are in The Nephilim?"

Solo was almost to the fountain as he peered around a corner. He was quite tense, because, he knew that the beyond here was a huge open space before he got to the high hedges that framed the fountain area in a neat little square. From that point, he could lie on the bench, and unless someone was 12 ft tall or he got sloppy he should be able to detect them before they got too close.
He was getting ready to make a dash for it when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and heard his voice. Solo almost actually peed on himself in surprise as he crane his head around to see the teacher he didn't want to run into.
HOw in the hell did he get behind him without making any sounds?
The thought flashed momentarily in his mind ...as he heard him retort about his missing presences and the fact that it was alright. Something wasn't right about that picture ...why was he always being so ....kind of nice to him? After that first day he gave him a hard time ...he seemed to be a lot more understanding, and that was starting to bug Solo a little bit.
"Mr. Marax, why are you just letting me off with a warning like that?"
He asked before he could just simply walk away.
"I skipped your class, my real lit. teacher would have had my balls pin to her wall for that one ...if not ...she would have made sure the principal did it." "So, why are you letting me off so easily?"
Solo asked clearly wanting to know the answer to this. He has suspcisions about this man, and clearly ...ignoring him and avoiding him wasn't going to get him pass it. Besides, there was few ...if not at this moment he could think of ...no one whom could simply sneak up on him like that. He can normally hear footsteps, and a person's breathing normally gave them away, but this guy, he had heard nothing and that bugged him even more as he waited for the answer.

Ahren looked at Asura mildly surprised. "Genetic researchers. Any one relatively close to that occupation are in Razial. They would take at least a week to get here undetected." he said walking into the hall.

Lucian smiled warmly "Because I was once in the position your in right now." he pulled out a cigarette and lit it "I'm not fully Britannian, nor do I claim to be, hell, I'm proud to be part Irish" he said still smiling "so when I first began teaching here I went through a lot of the stuff you do....so I thought hey, everyone else hates this kid, doesn't mean I have to." he took a long drag off his cig. and exhaled "I just thought of giving you a break, since no one else will."
------------
Asura followed Ahren still whispering "Ah, but there is a good reason I would need them here, I wouldn't bring it up if that wasn't the case, also there is the chance I meet Idrial on the battle field..I do believe you've seen her powers."

Rowena sighed almost inaudibly, slowing down until she eventually stopped walking. The more she thought about the First Prince's speech, the more she lost her appetite. And so what was she doing here, in the academy and pretty much distanced from the fighting? The princess would not believe that she was sent here for merely her education. She just won't.
Briefly she considered going back to the viceroy's palace this afternoon, but quickly dashed that thought. Nothing would happen even if she did. Rowena was, unlike her siblings that were very involved with how the empire was run, not in the military. So even though she had authority to command, it would not be well to gain their favor. This the princess knew.
Turning on her heel, Rowena changed directions and started heading towards the administrative building of the school. She remembered reading that there used to be an underground operations room here, from the days of the Black Rebellion. Of course, it could already have been swept clean, but there was always the possibility of something being overlooked.

Ahren looked at Asura bored always wary of cameras as they passed. "I have indeed. She is no threat however. We have determined that her power is relatively easy to counter with Pax. Consume her in his Geass and her nervous system would take the blow that the attack would have caused to her physical body minus the actual damage." Ahren said thinking heading towards the administrative building. "As for the genetic engineers I don't know what to tell you. We have very few. We try compromising weakness with more advanced machinery. We are in the process of out developing Britannia with some of our knightmare frames and weapons. However if it is of the most utmost importance I will send for them when we have our base." Ahren said looking at his watch. 4:45. If all went as planed Nephilim should now be in control of the surveillance room. They specialized in cons. They could pull off stealing and acting out the guards identities when needed. It was in Nephilim basic training after all.

"She's stronger then you think, she doesn't overly rely on her power as much as Leon does, I believe you've seen his to." he said "But it is of the up most importance, I'll discuss it in a more secure environment." he cleared his throat "So where exactly is this under croft?"

Ahren looked down. "Duh." he said smiling. He got more serious quickly. "The undercroft is located under the school and can be accessed in three different ways. The first is the legitimate way. This is located in the administrative building and is a simple gateway to it via a security card guarded door. The second is still official and located in the administrative building but its a lot less guarded on account of most likely being forgotten. Its a small elevator with some easily bypassed codes on the far side of the building. The last is through the sewers and I want to avoid that in any way possible. We are taking the elevator. " he said turning the corner to reveal a metallic door with a code pad on the left with red plastic buttons. Ahren took out a small screwdriver case from his pocket and assembled it quickly. He pried the pad of the wall until the wiring showed. He cross wired for ten seconds and placed the cover back as the door opened putting his small tool away.

"Whoa" said Asura speechless "That was fast, my best time for one of those is like thirty seconds....." he took in a deep breath "So your sure this is a forgotten route right...if possible I wouldn't want to kill any staff." he looked back to make sure no one was coming and around the corner, just in case.

Ahren walked in unfazed. "Of course. We have good intelligence. Even if it was wrong I can fight to disable. Oh and these help..." he said tossing Asura a small rod. It folded out of a rubber padded handle to reveal that that was only the hilt. The metal pole that extended crackled with electricity. It was compact enough to fit in a pocket and folded out to be an electric stun baton like weapon. If a stun baton had the range of a sword.

he caught it and looked at it "I see, very good to have on convert operations when there are to be no casualties, if I hit someone with this they'd be out for a while." he followed Ahren in "So what if any of the staff tend to notice that there isn't any documentation of transfer for two students?" he smiled "Though I'm sure you've already taken care of it, you tend to plan ahead about these things."
