Chapter 2 the familiar and the duel

Man this place looks like a kind of harry potter convention

While the, half angel tries to analyze the situation, the students are already whispering things like

"Did the zero summon a human?"

"She did"

"And she summoned a commoner?"

"No commoner would be able to have those clothes"

"And that big sword he carries, no commoner would be able to lift that

Louise didn't care of her surroundings. She had actually succeed at something, and she's about to seal the deal as she strode towards the young man that she has called upon to be her familiar, As she move closer, his eyes turned to regard her approach, with intensity and a mix of feelings anger, confusion and curiosity, so focused that the pinkette felt that she was going to be stabbed by the huge sword

"U-um P-pardon me, but may I ask who thou art"

The young man instead of answering remained where he stood with his arms closed and now looking at the now nervous girl, with an even more piercing gaze

"D-d-do you understand what I am saying?"

If it were another person he would not have answered nothing, because he would not have understood, but one advantage of being half angel is that any language in the world is already know by you and apparently it looked like a combination of a little French and Latin

"Yes… I do" answered the half angel

All present were astounded by the voice of the young man instead of a raspy voice like every dictator would sound, it was a beautiful tenor soft voice, but it disappeared when someone shouted

"Hey Louise summoned a commoner"

"Ha! You never fail to meet our expectation, Louise the zero"

"Mr. Colbert!" Louise, shouted.

"What is it Miss Valliere"

"Please! Let me try the summoning one more time!"

Mr. Colbert the bold man wearing a black robe shook his head "I can't allow that Miss Valliere"

"Why not?"

This is a tradition, Miss Vallière. I cannot allow any exceptions; he," The middle-aged wizard pointed at Nahliel. "May be a commoner, but as long as he was summoned by you, he must be your familiar. Never in history has a human been summoned as a familiar, but the Springtime Familiar Summoning takes precedence over every rule. In other words, there is no other way around it; he must become your familiar."

"But I've never heard of having a human as a familiar!"

Everyone around laughed. Louise scowled at them, but the laughter didn't stop then Nahliel scowled at them and everyone fell silent frightened.

"Thank you, now complete the contract please"

"With him?"

"Yes, with him. Hurry".

"The next class will begin any minute. How much more time is this summoning going to take?. Hurry and form a contract." Everyone voiced their agreement and began jeering."

At that moment, Nahliel was just observing the surroundings; This thing looked like a kind of summoning ritual or something like that, there were dogs, cats, frogs, a type of flying eye, a kind of lizard with a tail on fire and even a dragon, but there wasn't demonic presence, then the pinkette of? 11 or 12 right? Called to him

"Hey" she shouted

"Mmmm?"

"You should consider yourself lucky. Normally, you'd go your whole life without a noble doing this to you." She said with her confidence now back

Louise closed her eyes with an air of resignation. She waved around the wooden stick in her hand.

"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers; bless this humble being and make him my familiar."

Then she kissed him, the kiss was light, short, and chant then she pulled back

For a second Nahliel just stood there confused but then his confidence came back

Well I've had better he thought with a chuckle

"You have failed 'Summon Servant' many times, but you have managed to succeed with 'Contract Servant' in one try." Colbert said happily.

"It's just because he's only a commoner."

"If he was a powerful magical beast, she wouldn't have been able to make a contract." Some of the students laughed.

Louise scowled at them. "Don't make fun of me! Even I do things right once in a

while!"

"Truly 'once in a while', Louise the Zero." Laughed a girl with gorgeous curly hair and freckles on her face.

"Mr. Colbert! Montmorency The Flood just insulted me!"

"Who are you calling 'The Flood'? I'm Montmorency the Fragrance!"

"I heard that you used to wet the bed like a flood, didn't you? 'The Flood' suits you better!"

"I hadn't expected better manners from Louise the Zero."

"Watch it! Nobles ought to show each other the proper respect." Colbert said

Suddenly, Nahliel's body started to heat up. And for the pain he kneeled down in the grass

"Grrrr, Fuck it, this fucking burns it feels when vergil, stabbed my hand with one of his fucking Summoned Swords " grunted Nahliel

"It will be over soon; just wait. The Familiar's Runes are being inscribed." Louise said, irritated.

Then in the back of his left hand, began to be written a kind of doodles and after a few seconds the pain disappeared

Then Colbert, approached the kneeling Nahliel and checked the back of his left hand.

"Hmmm... These are very unusual Runes, Well, let's go back to class, everyone." Said Colbert then he lifted gently into the air. The other people who looked like students also floated up.

Everyone who was floating quietly moved towards the stonewalls of the castle in the distance.

"Louise, you'd better walk back!"

"She shouldn't try to fly. She can't even manage levitation."

"A commoner is perfect as your familiar!" the students jeered as they flew away.

" Hmph¡ Come on Familiar¡ We're going back too¡" Louise huffed

"Where?" Asked the half angel

"To the academy where else, ¡Now come with me¡" Louise shouted before she walked in the direction most of the students where hearing

"Fine" With a sigh and rubbing his temples he said following Louise, but before he turned and opened the palm of his right hand covering his bike with a golden light tucking it in the palm of his hand

They were now in Louise's room. It looked about the half of the reception of devil may cry in size all the furniture looked like valuable antiques. As she sits down on the bed she began to say "This is so embarrassing" as she scratches her head with frustration "This is the worst day of my life."

"I was supposed to summon a familiar that would made everyone impressed instead I got a commoner" she said frustrated

"You commoner go make some tea" She ordered

"Fine as long as you calm down" Nahliel said a little annoyed

Few Minutes Later

"T-t-this is the best tea I've ever had" Louise said with wide eyes

"Yep it's my secret recipe" Nahliel says with a little pride

"You aren't useless at all commoner

Oh great honor to be told that Nahliel thought sarcastically

"Can you tell me who you are?" He asked

"My name is Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Valliere" She said proudly

"The Name's Nahliel" he said

"Nahliel? That's a weird name" Louise said

"Whatever, when you said familiar you mean as a mage helper right?"

"Yes but not only that you are my slave and must follow every command I told you" She pointed towards him

"What? I think that I didn't hear right" He said using his right pinky, Nahliel cleared his ear to make sure he heard right

"That you are my slave and must follow every command I told you" she said annoyed

"Oookay…Surely, I didn't hear you saying that I'm your…"

"Yes YOU are MY SLAVE and YOU HAVE to FOLLO-"

What she was saying was cut off when she felt the worst aura that she ever felt in her life, even worse than her mother.

At that moment, Louise thought that she was going to die, Nahliel then towered over her, As Nahliel looked straight into her eyes, she could swear that his eyes were glowing red

"Let's clarify something" Nahliel smiled sadistic "If there is something that I hate a lot It's people ordering me around like they own me, I have enough with my mother doing that"

Louise gulped nervously

"But if you ask nicely, I just do whatever you ask me" He added now with a warm smile"

Louise relaxed a little

"Now. What is it that you would like me to do?" he asked smiling

" C-c-could you wash my clothes please?" she asked shyly

"Sure" he said with a smile "But before we have to clarify something" he said closing his eyes and turning in a serious mood

Louise suddenly turned pale. Now what?

She knew that she had underestimated him he could probably kill her with his bare hands just by the aura he was giving before

"I won't be your familiar, I will be more as well as your guardian" he said opening his eyes

"WHAAAAAT G-g-g-guardian?"

"Yeah, Familiars are magical animals of witches and wizards, and I refused to be referred as an animal" Nahliel said as a matter of factly

Well my old man wouldn't mind if it would be my mom in a sexy outfit he shuddered just thinking in that

"So a guardian is the best term to describe my position."

"That settles it then", Nahliel rambled on, as he stoops down to Louise's eye level as he stated the clauses of their contract

"I'll be at your service as your guardian and protector, and will take out anything that can pose as a threat. And as long as you ask nicely I will honor your requests, but its reasonableness is at my discretion if I will take that particular task on. You as my contractor, have the responsibility to provide for me for my services at least at the basic necessities such as food and shelter but when I'm talking about food it's not just a piece of bread it has to be something decent of a human being. This contract will remain as long as I am in this world. Do you agree?"

"Y-y-y-y-y-yes" she nods

"Okay" Nahliel smirked, standing up to his full height

He then walks to the door with the basket of laundry, before turning around to regard his new contractor, who is now collapsed on her kneels, trembling like crazy.

"Well I'm going to wash your clothes, But I'll be out for awhile too to get my bearings on this place, Is that okay with you?" Nahliel asked

A moment of silence occurred between them.

"Y-yes please do so" Replied the presently recovered Louise as she tries to stand up and managed to reach her bed.

"Ok sweet dreams then, Babe." Nahliel said as he left the room

He went outside after much wandering around, ending up at dead ends and much, much back tracking, Nahliel manages to finally hang of the place and search searching for a place for wash the clothes of Louise, He bumps into someone it was a maid

"I'm sorry" He said as he pulled her up

"I-its okay you must be the familiar that Miss Valliere summon" she said with her cheeks a little red

"Yep the Name's Nahliel"

"My name is Siesta, I'm a maid that serves in the academy" She was wearing a maid uniform with black hair and eyes almost look just like Asian except her skin was pale.

"Can you tell me where I can wash these clothes?"

"There's a fountain not far from the courtyard" as she pointed the direction

"Thanks for the help"

"You're welcome" She replied with a smile

He walked toward the fountain and spotted a couple one was the red girl that he meet during the day and a boy with brown hair, Then she spotted him a wave with a smile. He winked at her in response with a smirk and continued walking toward the fountain, Then he spotted another person, He was a blonde that looked like a playboy waving a rose with a girl probably going out or something that he didn't care and finally spotted fountain it was big like those from five star hotel versions

He quickly washed the clothes it wasn't hard or embarrassing since he had to wash the clothes of all his family, as he finished he lied down on the grass for a bit looking at the sky it was pretty with the stars in the sky, It remembered him when he went camping to kill demons with his old man and his mom, But then he saw two moons one blue and the other one pink and they were larger than the earth's moon.

"Well I guess it's time to come back"

Next Morning

It was already morning and Nahliel was trying to wake up Louise "Hey Louise it's morning you're going to be late for class" Nahliel said moving her a little

"Mnya…"

Suddenly ,Louise felt that the covers are taken from her, sending her sitting upright groggily

"Mwhu?"

Nahliel sighed at the sight of Louise, She was snoozing as she sat

Nahliel smirks at an idea that flashed in his head. And summons one of his firsts Angel-arms; in a quick flash of light, it was a black violin with white wings that looked like those of an angel

" ¡WEEEEEEW¡ WEAAAAAAAW¡"

She was suddenly snapped from her dream, just as she was about to beat the young man with a riding crop for bad behavior

It was the worst sound of someone trying to play a violin

"What in the Founder's name was that" Louise shouts angrily

Looking towards the source of the disturbance, she sees a black-haired, black-coated young man, Smirking with a black violin with white wings. Meet the Angel-arm Corina

Then a flood of memories came upon the diminutive mage, as she realized who this young man was…

"…."

"What's up, did you sleep well?" Nahliel said with a smile

"…" Louise wordlessly shrank back to the farthest edge of her bed

Nahliel sighed, "Look I'm sorry for being to harsh on you yesterday it's just that I don't like people to treat me as if I belonged to them

"…."

Then she happened to glance toward the clothes hamper, and found that her dirty clothes are now washed, clean and carefully folded. She then turn to the half angel

"Did you really…"

"What? I said that I would do it and I always keep my promises" Nahliel said

"Thank you" She said in a whisper

"C'mon get dressed, and let's get some grub" Nahliel said to give Louise some privacy

The Academy of Magic's dining hall was the tallest and centermost building on the premises. Inside, three extremely long tables were arranged parallel to each other.

Each one looked like it could easily seat a hundred people. The table at which Louise and all the second years sat was the middle table.

It appeared that students could be identified by the color of their cloaks. Viewed from the entrance, everyone sitting on the left-hand table looked a little older and wore purple cloaks — third years.

The students sitting on the right-hand table wore brown cloaks — first years. So they're like year-level jerseys, Nahliel thought.

Every single mage on the school grounds, students and teachers alike, gathered here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

On an upper level, he could see teachers enjoying pleasant chatter. All the tables were magnificently decorated. Numerous candles, bunches of flowers, baskets full of fruit...

Nahliel's mouth was agape with amazement at the sheer grandeur of the dining hall. Louise raised her head imperiously and began to explain. Her hazel eyes twinkled with mischief.

"Tristain's Academy of Magic doesn't teach just magic, you know."

"Right..."

"Almost all mages are nobles. The saying 'nobles achieve nobility through the use of magic' is a foundation for the education we receive as nobles. Thus, our dining halls must also be fitting of a noble's status."

"Okay..."

"Understand? Normally, a commoner like you would never set foot inside the Dining Hall. Be grateful."

"Whatever"

Louise asked for some food of the nobles for Nahliel because it was in the contract that she had to give him decent food after they finished they went with the other students and the rest of the familiars

While the two were walking, Nahliel couldn't help but notice the familiar looking maid he met last night. She seems to be struggling, Nahliel Thought, "Hey Louise, You go on ahead and relax yourself. I'm going help that maid over there

"Why would you help a maid" Louise asked with curiosity

"Meh community service" he said with a shrug

"Whatever, I'm going to get some tea" Louise said leaving the place

"Hey Siesta¡" Nahliel shouted trying to attract. The girl would've dropped the dishes she was caring if it weren't for her experience in serving "Need any help?"

"No it's okay Mr. Nahliel. I can-" before she could finish a boy calling for a servant. Nahliel grabbed the majority of the plates off her hands and began carrying them himself " But you don't need to worry Mr. Nahliel

"Its okay. And by the way it's just Nahliel" He replied with a wink

Lots of dessert cakes were arranged on a big silver tray. while Nahliel served them one by one to the nobles. One mage in particular stood out. He had curly blonde hair, wore a frill-trimmed shirt, and looked rather self-important. There was a rose stuck in his shirt pocket too. His friends around him were poking all kinds of fun at him.

"So, Guiche! Who're you going out with now?"

"Who's your lover, Guiche?"

So it seemed the prideful mage was called Guiche. He gently raised a finger to his lips.

"Go out?' I hold no one woman in such special regard. After all, a rose blooms for the pleasure of many."

This guy's likening himself to a rose. An egotist like this is far beyond help. He was the kind of narcissist that made onlookers more embarrassed than himself. Nahliel glared at him, hoping he'd just shut up

At that moment, something fell out of Guiche's pocket. It was a small glass bottle with a purple liquid swirling inside it.

I don't really like this guy, but I should still tell him he dropped something.

Nahliel called out to Guiche.

"Hey, you dropped this bottle from your pocket."

But Guiche didn't turn around. This guy's ignoring me!

Nahliel passed the tray to Siesta and bent down to pick up the bottle.

"I said, you dropped something, playboy." He placed it on the table. Guiche shot Nahliel a dirty look, and pushed the bottle away.

"This is not mine. What are you talking about?" Guiche's friends then realized where the bottle came from and raised a loud commotion.

"Ooh? That perfume, isn't that Montmorency's?"

"Yeah! That vivid purple color is the perfume that Montmorency only mixes for herself!"

"So to have something like that fall out of your pocket, Guiche, means that you're going out with Montmorency now, right?"

"No wait, listen to me. I'm saying this for the sake of her reputation, but..."

As Guiche was about to say more, a girl, who wore a brown cloak and had been sitting at the table behind them, stood up and walked over to Guiche's seat.

She was a cute girl sporting chestnut-colored hair. According to the color of the cloak

she wore, she was a first year student.

"Guiche-sama..." And with that, she started crying uncontrollably.

"I knew it, you and Miss Montmorency are..."

"They're misunderstanding. Katie, listen. The only person I hold in my heart is you..." But the girl called Katie slapped Guiche's face as hard as she could.

"That perfume you dropped from your pocket is more than enough proof! Goodbye!"

Guiche rubbed his cheek.

At this point, a girl with tightly rolled hair stood up from a seat further down the table. Nahliel recognized her as the girl who'd had the argument with Louise when he was first summoned to this world.

Wearing a severe expression, she approached Guiche with quick clipped steps.

"Montmorency. This is a misunderstanding. All I did was accompany her on a long trip to the forests of La Rochelle..." Guiche said, shaking his head. While he was pretending to remain composed, a drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"Just as I thought! You've been making moves on that first year, haven't you?!"

"Please, Montmorency the Fragrance. Don't twist your rose-like face in anger like that. It saddens me to see it!"

Montmorency grabbed a bottle of wine that was on the table and poured its contents out audibly on Guiche's head.

And then...

"You liar!"

She yelled and stormed off.

Silence fell upon the hall.

Guiche pulled out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his face. Shaking his head, he spoke dramatically.

"It would seem those ladies do not understand the meaning of a rose's existence."

Yeah, and you just keep trying that, Nahliel thought, as he was walking back to Siesta

Guiche called him to a stop. "Stop right there."

"What now?" Nahliel said annoyed

Guiche spun his body about on the chair and crossed his legs with a flourish. It gave a headache to see such arrogance exude from every action.

"Thanks to you thoughtlessly picking up some bottle of perfume, the reputation of two ladies has been damaged. How will you take responsibility?"

Nahliel replied in an exasperated tone. "Hey, it's your fault for two-timing you dumbass."

Guiche's friends burst out laughing.

"Exactly, Guiche! It's your fault!"

Guiche's face flushed crimson.

"Listen, server. When you put the bottle of perfume on the table, I pretended not to know anything, didn't I? Would it have hurt to be a little bit tactful and just go along with it?"

"Whatever. Either way, your two-timing would've been blown anyway.

"It would seem that you don't know the proper etiquette for addressing a noble."

"Oh I know them it's just that I don't see any fucking noble nearby, just shut up you over-pretentious bastard. Why don't you go to fuck roses for the rest of your life?"

Guiche's eyes narrowed.

" Then I shall teach you a lesson about respect. I challenge you to a duel" Guiche shouted angrily

"If you really insist on a duel, you got it." Nahliel growled

The crowd

Nahliel snapped then. Human or not, Nahliel was going to Give this Asshole the beating of his life

Guiche stood up.

"How amusing." He replied with a mocking smirk

Nahliel bared his teeth and growled. First, he didn't like this guy right from the start and now he has to resist the urge to kill him.

Second, he's going out with two fairly cute girls he blames him for that And last, he made a fool of him.

"Where and when"

Guiche turned in the other direction.

I'll be waiting at Vestri Court. Don't be late."

Looking excited, Guiche's friends stood up and followed him off.

Siesta gazed at Nahliel, her entire body quivering

"You... You're going to get killed."

"What"?

"If you truly anger a noble..."

"It's all right. There's no way I'll lose to that Asshole." Nahliel replied with a smirk

Siesta dashed off in a hurry

Louise ran up to him from behind.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?! I saw all that!"

"But that guy was really irritating me..." Nahliel said indignantly.

Louise sighed and shrugged disappointedly. "Apologize to him."

"Why?"

"If you don't want to be hurt, go and apologize. If you do it now, he might forgive you."

"Are you kidding! Why do I have to apologize?! He insulted me first! And besides, I was only being helpful..."

"Just do it." Louise fixed Nahliel with a firm look.

"No way."

"So stubborn... But you know what? You can't win. You'll be badly injured. Actually, you'll be lucky to come back alive with just injuries."

"I won't know that unless I try, right?" he asked with a smirk

"Listen, a commoner can never beat a mage!"

"So where's this Vestri Court?"

Nahliel walked off. The friend of Guiche's that had been watching Louise and Nahliel's exchange pointed with his chin.

"This way, commoner."

"Aaah, jeez! Really! Why does this familiar keep going off and doing stuff on its own?!" With that, Louise chased after Nahliel.

Vestri Court was the central garden situated between the Wind and Fire elemental towers. Being located to the west, the Court didn't receive much sunshine, even in the middle of the day, but it was the perfect place for a duel.

Right now... the place was packed with people who had heard the rumors.

"Gentlemen! It's a duel!"

Guiche lifted his artificial rose high, eliciting a loud cheer from the crowd.

"Guiche is going to duel! His opponent is Louise's commoner!"

I have a name too y'know... Nahliel thought bitterly.

Waving his arms about, Guiche acknowledged the cheering.

And then, as if finally noticing Nahliel's presence there, he turned to face him.

Nahliel and Guiche stood in the middle of the Court, glaring intently at each other.

"First of all, I commend you for coming here instead of running away!" Guiche remarked in a sing-song voice, as he twirled his rose.

"Whatever " he said with a mocking yawn "what are the terms of victory and defeat?"

"The first to surrender or be knocked out will lose" Guiche replied arrogant "Fair?"

"Yes, but this duel will be to death, too" Nahliel said coldly

The entire crowd gasped at hearing this

"Who am I to deny the death wish of a commoner, very well let's begin" Guiche smiled arrogant

"STOP¡"

Both guche and Nahliel looked out to the sidelines and saw a familiar head of pink cram her way throught the students before coming into the open field

"I forbid this duel from happening¡" she snapped before pointing at Nahliel "You!Apologize to Guiche now so we can forget this Foolishness"

"Denied," He replied, making Louise growl with anger and everyone else gap in surprise. No doubt that stemmed from how familiars were supposed to be completely obedient to their masters. "Louise, this duel is a matter strictly betwwn myself and Guiche. You have no say in it." Nahliel said

"No say?-!" Louise screeched

"My, what a disobedient Familiar," Guiche snickered, a sound echoed by his classmates.

"Shut the fuck up," He frowned. Seriously I'm going to give him the beating of his life. In this duel, I'm not a commoner and you aren't a noble. Right now, we're just two men putting our pride on the line and fighting for what we believe is the right thing. Forget the status, forget stations and simply fight

"How eloquently put," Guiche nodded. " If you spoke like that when we first met I may have mistaken you as a fellow noble. However , now our battle must begin". He raised his rose as a pool of light surrounded him. He then waved it as a petal drifted off and floated towards Nahliel. "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Guiche de Gramont. My runic name is Guiche the Bronze" The rose petal landed on the ground several feet in front of Nahliel before it flashed and from the ground appeared something new. It was the same height as Guiche, and covered in an armour despite showing all of the curves that a woman would have and eloquently devorated with flattering armour and wings on its helmet In its right hand was a simple spear with a decorative tip, but it was completely made out of bronze.

"My Bronze Golem, Vlkyrie shall be both my weapon and your opponent" The blonde finished with a twirl of his rose

"My name is Nahliel Michelangelo Sparda. My runic name is the one who will kick your ass" Nahliel said with a smirk
