Chapter 2-Duel with a noble

"Good morning, my lady. Here are your clothes." Atem said with little enthusiasm as he threw the clothes onto to Louise's face.

"Huh, who are you again?" Louise asked, rubbing her eyes to see who woke her up.

"I'm Atem, the person you summoned yesterday"

"Oh the familiar. Help me up from bed"

Atem reluctantly helped up Louise from the bed. He was thinking what a spoiled girl she was, and whether he should mind crush her right then and there. He was too busy thinking about Yugi back on Earth. He was too busy worrying about Yugi worrying about him to notice Louise's calls to him

"Where is the underwear?" Louise asked for the 3rd time

"Get that yourself!" Atem shouted at her

"I'm going to make you skip breakfast if you like. If not, it's in the bottom drawer" Louise asserted.

With those simple words, the once mighty and powerful Pharaoh had to go and get the underwear for Louise. Atem went to the bottom drawer to get Louise's underwear. He threw the underwear at Louise while mumbling something under his tongue.

"Put this on me" Louise said as she threw her clothes at him.

"What now?"

Atem turned around to see Louise with nothing but her underwear on.

"Put it on yourself!"

"When aristocrats have servants, they have them put it on for them. Do you think aristocrats put on clothes by themselves?

'Damn, why didn't I do that back in Egypt?' Atem thought with a hint of regret.

"Fine"

Atem helped put on the clothes and then escorted Louise to the dining hall. On the way there, they heard jeers from fellow students about Atem as a familiar.

"She summoned a commoner!"

"That's Louise the zero. What did you expect?"

When they reached the dining hall, Atem was outraged to find out he couldn't eat at the tables but hid his rage, and dealt with eating on the floor. What a tragic fall from grace for the Pharaoh. Atem dealt with it, and then escorted Louise outside.

"Is there a special event going on today?" Atem inquired.

"Yes, there is no class today because today is the day to build a relationship with your familiar" Louise explained

'Why great Brimir, do I have to build a relationship with this commoner?' Louise whined in her head.

Atem wandered around and accidentally bumped into a maid.

"I'm sorry"

"No no, it is my fault" the maid said as she apologized to Atem.

"I'm sorry for the cake" Atem said as he picked it up and put it back on the tray.

"I'm Siesta, you must be the new familiar" Siesta said.

"Yes, I am. My name is Atem Are you a noble?"

" Atem, what a strange name. No, I am just a commoner who works in the palace."

"Oi, is that cake ready?" barked a noble.

Atem turned around to see Guiche, the guy from yesterday, who levitated him off the ground talking with a girl. A different girl than the one he was talking to yesterday.

"I will give him the cake" Atem said as he took the tray and threw it on the ground. Atem grabbed the cake, walked to Guiche's table and threw the cake in his face.

"What was that for you? Stupid commoner! Learn your manners!" Guiche responded as he cleaned the cake off his face.

" I'll learn my manners when you stop cheating with women!" Atem smirked.

"Guiche, what is he talking about?" the blonde girl next to him asked

"Nothing, this commoner is crazy. He doesn't know what he is talking about"

Guiche looked at this girl and kissed her on the cheek. Atem supposed she was susceptible to flattery.

'I'm not going to let this go' Atem thought.

"Oh isn't that her right now?" Atem said with a smile on his face as he saw a girl looking around the area.

"Oi, oi, Guiche is here" Atem said waving his hand to a 1st year girl with a soufflé in her hand.

" Guiche!" the girl ran up to him

"Here is the souffle I made you" the girl continued.

"Oh, Katie, what are you doing here?" Guiche said stuttering for words.

"Guiche, who is she?" they said in unison as they pointed to the other.

"This, ladies, is the sign of a cheater" Atem chimed in

"Guiche is that true?" Katie asked.

"Well, uh, I…"

"Cheater, how could you!" the blonde girl shouted. She gave him a good slap across the face for good measure and left him.

"Wait, I can…."

"Guiche, why?" Katie said as she dropped her soufflé. She ran away, tears were in her eyes.

"Oh, Guiche just got dump!" someone shouted.

"See, that is why you don't date 2 people at the same time." Atem said walking up to the mess on the ground known as Guiche de Gramont.

"You, you did this. I'll put you in your place, commoner! I challenge you to a duel" Guiche said as he posed with the rose in his left hand.

"Wait, duels are illegal!" Louise said as she ran between her familiar and Guiche.

"Duels between aristocrats are illegal, but they don't say anything about duels with commoners" Guiche said.

" No, no, I'll accept the challenge" Atem said, stepping in front of his master.

"When and where?"

"Later at Vestry Court"

" No, how about let's do it now? Or are you scared of losing to a familiar?" Atem taunted him.

Guiche, not wanting to look like a coward, accept the challenge.

"You just made my day" Atem said with a sadistic smile on his face. He activated his duel disk, inspiring "ooohs" and "aaahs" from the crowd.

"I, Guiche de Gramont, will not lose to a commoner" Guiche declared as he waved his rose around. 1 petal fell and turned into a knight.

" Good for you, my turn" Atem said as he drew 5 cards from his deck.

" Well, this duel was fun while it lasted" Atem said as he placed the Winged Dragon of Ra on his duel disk.

The Winged Dragon of Ra appeared before him in its sphere form in a giant flash of light. Everyone was terrified with the sudden gust of wind that tore through the academy.

'You underestimated me, you little brat, time to pay' Atem thought.

"Almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee,please heed my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. I beseech thee,grave our humble game. But first I shall…. Call out thy name, Winged Dragon of Ra!"

"No way, a familiar summoned a dragon!"

"How is that possible"

Guiche fell down in terror at the sight of this giant orange dragon.

"What are you?" he said as he trembled in terror.

"I will not lose to a commoner!" Guiche said as he summoned 5 more knights.

"Useless, Egyptian God Phoenix activate!"

All of Guiche's knights were turned to molten ash in a second, leaving Guiche trembling in fear.

"Point to point transfer!"

The ring of Atem's duel disk continued as it reached 1 life point. At that time, Atem fused with the Winged Dragon of Ra, and was now looking down at Guiche.

" What is he?" someone remarked.

"How is he so powerful?" another stated.

"This is the end! Instant Attack!" Atem shouted.

The Winged Dragon of Ra fired a beam from its mouth, incinerating Guiche in its wall of light.

"Noooooooooooooooo"

"Huh, I'm not dead?" Guiche said after opening his eyes.

"No, I do not take lives. But I do take souls."Atem said as he moved closer to Guiche.

"No, stay away from me!"

"You brought this upon yourself. You duel only for power, and that is why you lost." Atem said as he stood over the fallen Guiche.

"But how, how could I have lost to him?"

"Guiche, if you truly want to know, open your mind! Mind crush!" Atem said as he put his hand in front of Guiche's face.

"There Guiche, now you will begin to see"

Guiche collapsed on the floor and everyone glared at Atem.

"Atem, how are you able to do that?" Louise shouted from behind as she ran up to Atem.

"Louise, we need to have a long talk about who I am" Atem said as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Let's go elsewhere to talk about it."

"We'll come to" Kirche said with a blue haired girl next to her, and Siesta right behind them.

"Who might you be?" Atem asked the blue-haired girl.

"Tabitha" the girl replied.

"Okay, all of you can come" Atem said despite Louise protesting.
