AN: Hi! So… I had an idea… I think it might work… I'm certainly hammy enough for it…
"Okay… That should be everything…" I muttered, looking over my small set of items… "Zikan Despear, BeyonDriver, Woz, Shinobi, Quiz and Kikai Miridewatches… Ginga was too expensive…" I grumbled, not to mention, it isn't even out yet… I turned to the Mirror, examining myself. "You'd think it'd be harder to find similar enough clothes…" I noted, having found my current attire at a very good price! I even had a Buttobasoul Medal Holder based on the Oma Advent Calendar!
"Still can't believe there was a Con set up so close… It's like it was set up just for me!" I exclaimed, smirking. I was currently wearing an outfit that was a very good match for Kuro Woz from Kamen Rider Zi-O. "Iwae!" I shouted, enjoying the way my mouth formed the word.
I packed all of my Cosplay stuff, as well as the Medal Holder, into my bag, and slung it over my shoulder. I then left my room, and headed out of the house on my way to the Convention that was nearby, which was awesome! It was even Japan themed, so my Woz Cosplay would get some good looks hopefully!
Pentagon of the five power…
I paused, and looked at the strange glowing portal in front of me.
"What the…? It doesn't look like a Decade one… Probably should go around it." I decided, going around it like I'd decided.
Head my summoning…
"Another one?!" Now there were two, one at my back and one in front of me… "Is this some kind of prank?" I questioned, scratching my head confused.
And Bring forth…
The Portals flashed, and The one in front of me began to suck in air somehow, beginning to pull me in. "Nopenopenopenopenope!" I exclaimed, trying to get away.
My Familiar!
The Portal sucked harder, while the one behind me seemed to let out the air that was being stolen, throwing me through…
"Nnnngh…" I pushed myself up from the floor, and looked around, noticing that I was in a field of some kind… My cosplay was oddly clean though…
In front of me was a Girl, with pink hair and a uniform of some kind… There were others with the same uniform all around me actually. In the distance, there was what looked like some sort of building… A school maybe? And it was Evening now… Odd… I left the house Bright and early in the morning for the Convention!
"W-Who are you?!" The Girl shouted at me angrily.
"I'm sorry?"
"Answer the Question commoner! What are you doing… Here…?" As she finished her sentence, she trailed off, a look of horror on her face…
"Commoner…?" I muttered, frowning a little…
"N-No… Don't tell me…" She whispered, an odd look in her eyes.
The other people seemed to realise something, and began to laugh at her.
"As Expected from Louise the Zero!"
"Of all the things to summon as a Familiar, she managed a Commoner!"
So her name is Louise… Hmm… And summon a familiar…? Interesting… Those portals then…
"S-SHUT UP!" Louise shouted, turning to a bald man with a staff of some kind. "This is a mistake! P-Professor Colbert, please let me try again!" She practically begged, voice full of fear.
The Bald man, Colbert, shook his head softly. "I can't let you do that… It is strictly forbidden, for this is a Sacred Ceremony that determines a mages life… If I allowed you to redo it, then it would be an insult to the very ceremony itself. Regardless… It appears he has been decided as your familiar, and you have no choice but to accept him..." He told her, seeming slightly sad that he couldn't let her.
Louise sighed, looking down in dismay. Before she could do anything, a Dark Skinned girl approached, a teasing look on her face. She had quite revealing features, but I… Didn't really care for some reason… Weird… "This makes everything you said worth it! I'd never have guessed that you'd have summoned a Commoner!"
"Y-YOU SHUT UP KIRCHE! It was just a little screw up!" Louise shouted, her face bright red.
"That's Louise the Zero for you! Never failing to meet our Expectations!" A student called out with a laugh, leading the rest of the class to follow.
Louise turned to Colbert again. "Professor Colbert… This HAS to be a mistake! I've never even heard of someone taking a Commoner as a Familiar!"
"We have now!" Another student called out, and the class laughed even harder… I scowled, feeling sympathy to the poor girl, even if she had seemingly kidnapped me…
"Well, there's a first time for everything miss Vallière. Commoner or not, there can be no exceptions. He will serve as your familiar." Serve… As in act as, or as in as a Servant…? "Now. Continue the ceremony." He commanded, making her face turn pink, just like her hair.
"Y-Yes sir…" She whispered quietly, seeming embarrassed.
"Come on Louise, you can't possibly fail at this! Right?" One student mocked cruelly.
"Or maybe she can! Remember, she's the Zero after all!" The other students continued to taunt her, but… She ignored them, and approached me. Now that she's so close, there's a size difference between us. She's only something like five feet… Compared to my Five foot nine… That's a fairly big gap.
Louise pulled a stick from somewhere, and began waving it around like a wand. "Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers… Grant your blessings upon this creature, and bind it as my familiar…" She managed to get out, her eyes closed. She then… Attempted to grab my head, but… I have a pretty good posture, and she was sort of pitiful looking with how she was jumping up and down…
"Do you need me to duck down for something?" I asked her, deciding to just accept it. It seemed unlikely that I'd be able to go home, so it would be best to accept this until I can find more information.
She nodded, so I ducked down, looking her in the eyes… And then… She kissed me! I wasn't sure what to do, but after two or three seconds, she broke it, and looked away embarrassed. I stood back up, touching my lips with my hand…
"Was there a reason you did that by any chance?" I asked her, raising my left brow.
Louise turned bright red, and looked away, moving away from me. "Y-You should be grateful!" She snapped, clearly unhappy with something…
Before I could respond, I hissed, feeling a burning pain! I bit my lower lip, as I felt some sort of markings being engraved into my left hand and my forehead… "W-What… Was that?" I asked, feeling a little light headed…
"Ah. Your Familiar Runes!" Colbert said, taking a look at my hand and forehead, though I'm pretty sure that the Latter was somewhat concealed by my hair… "Well, Miss Vallière, despite failing to properly cast Summon Familiar, you managed Summon Servant on your first try!"
"Um… T-Thank you…" She stammered, embarrassment clear in her voice.
"Alright then. This concludes the Summoning Ceremony. You're all dismissed back to your Dormitories. There will be no classes for tomorrow, so that you may get to know your Familiars better."
So I'm at a School, like I suspected... But what might it teach?
I got my answer when several of the Students muttered something and began to actually fly away! As the students dispersed, Louise was left there, huffing angrily... She was clearly having a bad day.
I approached her slowly, getting her attention.
"Hmph! Come on Familiar, we're going back too!" Louise huffed.
"Back where exactly Miss?" I asked, assuming it to be the school.
"We're going back to the Academy! Now come on!" She snapped.
I went to follow her, and then turned around quickly, running over to my bag and picking it up. It felt a bit heavier than I remembered… I then followed her, giving myself time to think…
The Academy was more a Castle than a School it seemed, one befitting a powerful ruler! Everywhere I looked, I could see students, wearing the same uniform as Louise… But they were all carrying or accompany animals, many of them exotic! That would explain why Louise seemed to be so stressed. Expecting a beautiful creature, and getting me… It would certainly be upsetting.
After a few minutes of Navigation, Louise brought me to one of the towers, and into a room, which resembled a normal teenage girls room.
"This is the worst day ever…" Louise groaned as she plopped down on her bed. Looking out the window, I noted that Night had fallen. I sat down on a chair nearby, setting my bag next to me. "I was supposed to summon a magnificent Familiar… But instead, I got a commoner!"
I sighed. "Miss, I would like you to know that neither of us are particularly happy with this arrangement, but it seems that we're stuck with each other, so we may as well attempt to get along…"
"How are you not happy about this, Familiar?" Louise asked, confusion in her voice amongst the anger. "You should be honoured to be of Service to a noble!"
I let out a tiny smile, remembering I was still in my Woz cosplay. And Woz does technically serve Zi-O, a king, or… A noble, one might say.
"First, I have a name, and it isn't Familiar… And second, I would have rather not been summoned at all, and allowed to stay at home living my life… As it is, I never asked to be a familiar, and never wanted to be." I explained to her, leaning back in the chair a little.
"You heard what Colbert said, the Contract is absolute! You cannot go home!" She shouted angrily.
"I know… But if returning home is said to be Impossible, then it's wrong. Nothing is impossible, just incredibly impractical or improbable. A likelihood where a possibility is minuscule…" I muttered.
Louise grumbled to herself for a moment, before she began to… Remove her clothes?!
"W-What are you doing?!" I asked having closed my eyes the moment I realised what she was doing.
"What do you think? I'm preparing for bed! I expect my Clothes to be washed and prepared for tomorrow by the time I awaken!" She snapped at me, climbing into her bed.
"And where do I take them to be washed? I don't know how to wash clothes by hand, and I doubt you would want an amateur to attempt to clean a Noble's laundry." I pointed out.
She growled. "Take them to the Servant area, and have a maid wash them then, and bring them back here!"
"And where do I sleep?" I asked, noting there was only one bed.
"I prepared one for you!" She shouted, covering her head with her pillow and pointing at… A pile of straw and hay… Ugh...
I sighed, slung my back over my shoulder again, picked up her clothes, and left the room. Logically, the staff room would be on the ground floor…
I was right! It had taken an hour or so, but I had finally found my way to the Servants area, which left a bad taste in my mouth, but they seemed happy, which could be good… And they helped to wash and dry Louise's clothes. I'd also met a nice Maid Girl by the name of Siesta, who seemed eager to please everyone she met. At least, that would be my initial impression.
I carefully folded Louise's Uniform and clothing, and placed them on her chair, which I moved next to her bed. I then removed the more delicate bits of the Woz Cosplay, like the Scarf, not wanting the Straw and Hay bed to damage it, and did my best to get some sleep…
I yawned, rubbing my eyes as I woke up… I looked out the window, seeing the sun in the sky. I put the Scarf back on, and checked to see if Louise was still asleep, which she was. I looked at my bag, deciding to check why it seemed heavier than before…
Wait what?
I-I'd lost some of my stuff! The Quiz and Kikai Miridewatches were gone! The Medal Holder though… It seemed different… I could definitely see Paper from there… I pulled it out, and found that it had somehow turned into an actual book. I flipped it open, and looked at a page at random…
"Kamen Rider Woz continued his fight in the war…?" I muttered, flipping to the first page instead, which was… Kinda hard to read actually, except for the first bit. "He would accept a duel, and unlock a great power within himself… None of this is right… No red robots?" I questioned, remembering Woz mentioning that in the first episode…
I examined the Oma Advent Calendar a little more, before I heard Louise yawning.
"Good morning Louise." I greeted, putting the Calendar back in my bag, which went over my shoulder as always.
"It wasn't a dream then…" She grumbled to herself in dismay.
I placed her clothes on the end of her bed, and headed towards the Door.
"Where are you going?!" She demanded.
"To wait outside." I responded.
"Dress me." She said.
"… No…" I refused.
"You are my servant!" She snapped.
"I wasn't aware that being a servant means I have to assist you with basic dressing." I told her, opening the door and standing outside, sighing to myself. "She seriously thinks that I'll do that…?" I muttered in confusion. "Why…?"
AN: And so, the first chapter comes to a close… Next, he shall discover his new identity, and awaken a great power in not only himself but in L- Oh uh… That's for a later chapter. Sorry about that! Yeah I'm doing the Woz Outro, maybe even intros, at least for now. It should be fun!
