Familiar of Zero: norami

I don't own either

Louise de la Vallière has always been regarded as a failure from the first moment she tried to cast a spell and today was her last chance to prove that she wasn't a complete failure of noble.

This day was the only chance she would get to summon a familiar and at this point she would accept anything even a bug at this point anything that would prove that she belonged in the academy and deserved to be taught.

But her prideful mouth made her mouth off to Kirche and now it was time said red head had called her out and her instructor was calling her up to summon her familiar, Louise with a nervous air and a prideful gate moved to the summons circle and began her chant begging for whatever being her call reached to heed her.

In the God Eater universe

Nero a was a God Eater a being created to destroy aragami but he, like many of his kind now days, were not human and his breed was that of the very creatures he hunted an aragami but like Shio they more were humanoid and had human sentience.

The progress with their development and creation had actually been assisted by both Shio and Lindow who had for a brief time been an actual aragami before he was returned to a more human form minus his singular aragami arm.

Those two planted the seeds of any idea in the heads of many scientists and those ideas eventually lead to Nero and his many siblings who were all spawned later in the development after the testing phases were over and they were deploying the humanoid aragami into battle granted it was one norami, the name of his kind although it originally was a name suggested for Shio herself, with a whole squad of human God Eaters until after the norami had proved themselves to Fenrir and the various branches that the norami had worked for and they were, eventually, allowed to deploy in their own groups or solo.

Nero and his siblings all shared a few similar traits white hair and skin and red markings across a bit of their bodies usually on the arm or back a few even had it across their throats, like Nero's, and aside from those similarities they were vastly different height, width, gender appearance, and eye color another thing they shared were abilities all norami presented with superhuman strength, speed, intelligence, regeneration, durability, as well as the ability to change their bodies physically changing their appearance or forming weapons, each weapon is unique to each norami, Nero however was a little different from most of his siblings he was a Psions he shared this trait with thirty others of his generation and five of the previous generation for a grand total of three generations with each generation having anywhere from 25 to a 100 and with only 50 deaths they were proving to be a smart investment.

It was and admired trait and was very useful in battle which rounds about to the final similarity between Nero and his siblings all of them possessed a deep curiosity of the world around them and a voracious appetite which they sated usually by feeding on aragami or other material.

So with that in mind when a glowing green oval appeared in front of him Nero wasted almost no time approaching and touching it but to his surprise it began to suck him in and for a brief moment in his fear Nero considered cutting off his hand but the portal sucked him in before he could even form his weapon and he had to close his eyes as a bright lights blinded him.

Suddenly Nero was deposited on his back and for a moment he just laid there confused before opening his eyes and when Nero opened his eyes he had to squint to avoid the dust which surrounded him.

It took him a moment to collect himself before a shout sounded somewhere to the right and for the life of him he didn't understand what was being said despite sound somewhat like French but was off just enough that he couldn't even scrape any meaning from the mass of people around him.

Back to Louise

Louise almost burst into tears as she sat up and looked at the summoning circle or rather the giant dust cloud Louise thought back a few moments her chant ended and instead of a familiar a large explosion blew everyone back a few feet it was almost ironic her first spell blew up in her face and now the last would too she thought that is until a shout earned her attention "There is something in the dust cloud!" Louise could help but feel hope well in her until heart as she cast her eyes to her mess.

That hope was crushed when her eyes found a figure in the dust as it settled revealing a humanoid figure even if this person was her summoned familiar no one would believe her if she said that she had summoned a human.

Back to Nero

Nero stood and looked around as the dust finally settled and Nero was able to get his first clear look at the people around him and they him and many gasped at his white complexion and hair which made his red eyes and the marking around his neck stand out glaringly.

Nero looked around him and his jaw dropped there was grass and a large fairly well maintained stone building Nero couldn't believe that it was still standing let alone as well maintained as it was the aragami should have eaten this place long ago not to mention the people around him wore odd relatively new looking cloths no rags yet there didn't seem to be any Fenrir markings on them and as far as he knew Fenrir was the only organization with the resources and tech to make such cloths.

Nero suddenly found his attention drawn to a balding man and a young pink haired girl who was talking…well arguing with said balding man before she huffed and turned to look at him before freezing as she took in his appearance before turning and talking to the older male with a confused look on her face she pointed at him.

After a moment Nero walked up to them making the entire field fall silent as he approached and after reaching the two Nero asked in his default language Japanese "Hello do you understand me?" and when that failed Nero switched to English and asked again but that failed too so Nero began to cycle through all the languages that he had been taught in his early years which was ironic to say as he was only 7 years old though he did have the physical appearance of a male that was mid to late teens.

Nero huffed in annoyance before shaking his head it was then that the pink haired girl griped his shoulders and pulled him down to her level before saying something and kissing him Nero immediately backed away and shoved the girl away causing the girl to fall to the ground.

At that moment Nero became aware of a burning sensation on his hand so he looked and found a brand like mark burning itself into his hand so he did the only thing he could think of at the moment he gripped the affected hand at the wrist and ripped the appendage free with a grunt of pain before dropping the now free hand onto the ground as the mark finished burning itself into the hand.

Many of the students including Louise and Colbert felt sickened at the display most lost their lunch but to their surprise no blood flowed out of the wound Colbert almost immediately rushed forwards and gripped Nero's forearm and looked at wound only to stop and back up as the would be stump began growing.

The older male looked to his staff and waved it over Nero for a moment before speaking and to Nero's surprise he understood everything the older man said.

"Are you ok?" asked Colbert Nero nodded and moved a step away from him before replying.

"Yes I am fine I have suffered worse wounds before… but tell me where are the aragami?" at this Colbert and all the students in hearing range that weren't still puking gave the pale boy disbelieving looks until he raised his hand again showing that his hand had already regenerated up to mid hand and some of his thumb was already back before continuing "Now that we have gotten my healing out of the way where are the aragami?"

Colbert sighed before replying "I don't know what and aragami is I am afraid." prompting Nero to raise an eyebrow.

"Aragami you know the creatures eating humanity to the brink of extinction the whole reason God Eaters and the norami were made?" asked Nero at the confused looks he received Nero frowned as he spoke again "You…really have no idea do you?"

At Colbert's negative head shake Nero frowned "Where am I…am I on earth still?"

Colbert replied quickly "You are in Tristan magic academy in Halkeginia and if you don't mind me asking what and who are you…I know of no creature that heals like you do?"

Nero smiled as his eyes looked to his almost entirely healed hand and replied "I am Nero a norami or stray god I and my siblings were made to kill aragami or violent gods and we are essentially aragami ourselves except we are man-made and we look like humans for the most part minus our pale complexion and white hair."

Colbert found it hard to believe but considering the fact that the boy's hand was regenerating before his very eyes it was difficult to deny.

Colbert's eyes followed Nero as said boy looked at his hand and frowned Colbert then saw the cause the runes had burned into the new hand Nero gave and annoyed sigh and picked up his freshly detached hand which was starting to break down with his newly regrown hand and to the disgust of many in the crowed he placed it in his mouth and swallowed it whole causing several to gag.

Nero took a moment allowing his body to relax a moment before he spoke annoyance tinging his tone "So what is with branding across my hand?"

Colbert who was quite pale replied "You just ate your hand!" Nero nodded before replying.

"Of course I can't waste the oracle cells in it as I am not sure if I can make more here and since I can't seem to get rid of this mark I might as well reuse them." Colbert shook his head to clear it for the moment.

"It is a Familiar brand it is a sign that you are summoned by Louise…the girl who kissed you." as Colbert finished Nero turned to look at Louise who was still quite pale.

"So what exactly is a summon and familiar?" asked Nero in a cold tone still staring at his summoner unnerving the girl as his red eyes grazed over her seemingly trying to figure out the best way to cut her up if he didn't like the answer he heard.

Seeing the look Nero was giving Louise Colbert spoke while being very cautious of how he phrased his next few words "A summoning ritual calls forth a being, most commonly an animal this I believe is the first time an intelligent being has been summoned and the being that is summoned becomes the familiar of the summoner and assist the summoner until one of them dies."

At this Nero chuckled and replied "Let me get this right she" Nero pointed at Louise "summoned me so now I have to sever her until I die…yeah no that's not happening I just spent my seven whole years of life learning to fight and fighting and now I am in a new world without those problems and you expect me to just bend at the knee…what's stopping me from killing all of you and leaving this place?"
