Chapter 2

In Halkeginia in Tristian Academy, a short and pink-haired girl named Louise Valliere had just finished her last class of the day before retire to her dorm room. On the way back, she bumped into another of her class peers named Kirche, who was also her family long rival.

"Oh look! It's Louise the Zero! I wonder how class went?" Kirche teased, she knew what happened; she was there when Louise was asked by the teacher to perform a simply spell right infront of the class. As always, Louise failed and manages to blow up the class! Nothing goes the way Louise wanted.

"I almost forgot," Louise snapped back to reality when Kirche speak up. "Tomorrow is the Familiar Spiritual Summoning, have you prepare to meet your new familiar, or greeted by the smokes of your explosions?" Louise was pratically steaming in rage inside her head. She was a short-tempered one but Kirche's teasing just made it worst.

"I SHOW YOU THAT I CAN SUMMON THE MOST POWERFUL FAMILIAR THAT ANY MAGE COULD EVER DREAM OF, KIRCHE!" After the outbust, Louise retreated back to her room. Leaving behind her were a laughing Kirche and a friend of Kirche, Tabitha, a bookworm.

In her room, she regretted for that dare she made. She wasn't good at any magic spells and she made a bet, she hopes that she really summon something so that she won't be left with embarressment.

'Everyone thinks so low of me, but I'll show them during the summoning that I can also do magic like everyone can,' Louise thought to herself before drifting to sleep in her soft bed, dreaming about what her familiar would be.

The day had arrived, every second year students gather around the school field with Professor Cobalt standing before a circle that he had drawn earlier. He then proceed the instructions to the students before he watches them perform the ritual. Louise was still worrying about what she'll summon and before she knew it, everyone had finished their ritual.

"Has everyone finish their summoning?" Professor Cobalt asked loudly, making sure of things.

"Not quite, professor. Louise is the only one left!" Kirche called out in from the crowd. By her side was her very own familiar, a fire salamander. She was quite proud of it and named it 'Flame'.

Suddenly as soon as Kirche finished speaking, all the students laughed and teased Louise.

"That Louise the Zero couldn't do simply magic, let alone a summoning!"

"I bet she will make another explosion!"

"She'll sommon nothing, that's for certain!"

Professor Cobalt demanded silence and asked Louise to perform the ritual. Louise then took a deep breath and stood out and infront of the summoning circle. She bravely took her wand out and began chanting.

"My familiar that lives somewhere in this world, come forth to me!" She chanted but nothing happen. The others started to laugh and the teasing started again. Then she started chanting again but this time, it was different.

"My divine, beautiful ,wise and powerful servant, heed my call. I wish for my servant at the bottom of my heart. Answer my guildance and appear!" As soon as she said that, the sky turned dark and thunder could be heard. Everyone started to be impressed until….

BOOM!

The field was suddenly surrounded by thick smoke, all the impression of a good start of the year vanished into thin air for poor Louise. Again she had cause yet another explosion, all her hopes of showing everyone that she too could use magic all flushed away by the incident of hers.

As the smoke slowly fainting away, a figure was seen standing up from the circle. Everyone couldn't see clearly what it was but knew that the figure could see them. Louise rubbed her eyes as she couldn't believe it, she actually summoned something. Then she could clearly see what the figure was and was shocked at sight!

Standing on the circle was a teen slightly taller than Kirche, he has soft white hair and pale skin. He was wearing a long dark blue coat with a hood and a scary red tattoo was on the left side of his face and over his eye, above the tattoo was an upside-down pentagram and the tattoo ends near his lower without the tattoo, he looks like an angle with those pale skin of his.

Unaware of what was going on, Louise suddenly made eye contact with the white teen who stood there for a few moments before walking towards her. He smiled at her warmly and Louise sworn that she had never seen any smile that warm before. The teen helped her to get up before he puts his right hand over his heart and slightly bow down towards her and smiled.

"My name….is Allen Walker, and what would your name be?" He asked politely using the same language as they were using and smiled at her. For a moment, everything stood still. Louise, too surprised to even react to the albino teen with silver eyes. So innocent, so pure and yet so old. His eyes looked as if they have seen eveything. But his looks tells otherwise, so young and so pure that seems that not a hint of darkness. But looks can be deceiving, especially that his hands were covered with white gloves and were hidden within those long sleeves of his coat. Louise doesn't know why would he conceal them….yet.

"Look! Louise just summoned a plebeian!" Someone shouted out from the crowd, breaking the silent. Then, everyone started the teasing again. Others stated that since she can't use magic, she hired a plebeian to come to do the act. But they were commanded to be silent by their professor. Only did Louise realised that her familiar is nothing more than a human! Humiliation strikes back.

"Ahem, Louise. Please continue the ritual." Prof. Cobalt said, merely gesturing to Louise new familiar. Louise couldn't believe what he just said, she then asked to re-do the summoning but only to be lectured by Prof. Cobalt on the tradition of the summoning and it would stain the long practise of the ritual.

'They sure took their time, considering they mistaken you for a commoner." The voice of his uncle in his mind spoke out in annoyance.

'Seems that way, and I think that little girl is the one who had summoned me the way, where is here?' Allen mentally asked.

'Don't know. With kids dressed as wizards, buildings like castles and speaking in French, my guess is we're in another world.'

'Thank you for stating the obvious, uncle.' Allen sarcastically replies. He too already knows that fact when he first landed there.

'Anything for my dearest nephew~,' Neah played along.

Then Allen saw the pink-haired girl walk up to him with a slightly embarressed expression. The girl signaled him to knee down and that was what he did, confusingly. The little girl took her wand out and starting to chant something.

"I, Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere, humbly bless this being to be my familiar." After she tabbed on Allen's forehead with the wand, she went over to kiss him! Allen was statled by the sudden movement, and Neah was screaming in anger that the girl that they only met liked, few minutes kissed his beloved nephew.(Not that Louise know that there was another person occupying inside Allen's mind.)

After she pulled away, Allen felt a burning sensation on the left side of his face at where his scar is located. After going there so much, a little burn doesn't hurt him. The rune appeared on his scar and it was written sideways, it was as if the scar was reacting towards the rune and thus, merging with it. After the light died out, the rune was coloured in light emerald while the scar is still red.(Still unknown to everyone that it is in fact a scar and not a tattoo.)

"Louise, may I take a look at your familiar's rune," the bald professor asked and Louise nodded. Before Allen showed it to him, he saw the looks in the man's eyes and immediately knew who the man was but Allen doesn't wasn't to say anything.

Allen gave a sad smile before showing his rune, confusing everyone even further. Cobalt wasn't fully aware of it and was too occupy with the rune. When he was done, Cobalt turned and saw Allen's eyes. Cobalt felt a sudden chill when he thought he saw malice gold eyes instead of kind silver eyes for a bief second. Quickly dismissing it as an illusion, he dimissed the class and walks away in a quick manner as if fear has taken over him. Those golden eyes, what were they? Cobalt wonders as he went to do a research on how Louise managed to summoned a human as a familiar.

By then it was already sunset, everyone went back to their dorm room for the night. Louise led Allen to her small room located in one of the towers around the academy; the whole school was freaking huge for him to examine alone. Allen mentally noted that whenever he was left alone, he would let Timcampy out and help him map the place.

Finally settling down, Allen was exhausted and was ready to retire for the night until…

'Is she doing what I think she's doing?' Neah suddenly popped the question which made Allen look at Louise's direction. What he saw reminded too much of what his old master would die for.

Louise was shamelessly taking off her cloths and threw them at Allen's face, she was acting as if he wasn't there at all! Allen suddenly felt that the need to speak up before things get too awkward.

"Louise? It is not very polite to change infront of someone you just met, and a male for that matter." Allen tries reason to stop her from continuing but only to face her angry facial expression.

"You will address me as 'Master' and not my name, familiar. And as my familiar, it is your duty to fufill every command that are given to you by me. And now," Louise then dumped all the cloths at him, "wash them, dry them and prepare them for me in the morning. Do wake me up early tomorrow morning or there'll be no food for you. Understood?"

Allen sweatdropped while Neah was cursing and wanting to teach that brat a lesson. Allen mentally told his uncle that atleast Louise won't leave him debts to pay like Master Cross. Oh, how he wanted to get revenge on his former master for all the troubles that man costed him.

"Understood, Master Valliere!" Allen faked his cheerfull voice to hide his earlier anger and smiled before leaving with Louise's laundry out to the door, leaving Louise without her knowing what he really wanted to do next.

'Finally free from that nuisance, and what a terrible excuse to be a master for my perfect nephew.' Neah said while adding that it was pathetic that the students here need their wands to perform magic. The Noah can cast anything they want with just imagining it or just waving their hand.

'Yeah, the only Noah left. Gosh, I felt quite lonely just thinking about it. I'm grateful that you are still with me, uncle.' Allen finally confess and it took him 100 years just to gather the courage to say that!

'Has my sweet nephew confessing his love to his great and awesome uncle? Oh I have never felt so happy in my life,' Neah exclaimed loudly in Allen's mind. Neah can be over dramatic sometimes, Allen thought.

After letting Timcampy out to map the place, Allen continue the journey in looking for a place to wash the laundry when unexpectedly he came across two students chatting in one of the hallways. He also noticed that the cape colour are different so maybe they were different grades, but one thing was obvious was that the male student was flirting with the female student.

'And another reminder of Master Cross, why must I go through with this?' Allen thought all the thing that Cross did back in the past. Seriously, can't he atleast get some slack? As Allen was walking past by them, the one in black cape called out to him and rudefully addressed him as a mere commoner.

"Who are you to disturb two nobles like us in the middle of a very important discussion, commoner?" Yep, much like Master Cross's attitude. Thought Allen as he turned and simply smiles at them.

"Don't mind me, nobles. I was merely passing by and happened to stumble upon you two." Allen acted innocently later extended his right hand, "How rude of me for not introducing myself. Allen Walker, a newly summoned familiar of Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere." He bowed slightly as if he did this kind of thing many times. In which he did during his stay in London as a butler for a noble that time as he try to hide from the Vatican who were stubbornly refusing to let something so rare and immortal to get away.

'Damn those guys, can't they get a life of their own?' Allen mentally cursed the people of the Vatican while his uncle agrees with him with a sigh.

"The human familiar that Louise the Zero summoned? So it is true," the girl in brown cape exclaimed surprisingly.

"Pay no attention to him, Katie. He's just a commoner after all. While I, Guiche de Grammont, have more to say about your delicious cooking," the guy named Guiche proclaimed and gained back the attention of the young girl. Allen just shrugged and continued on his way.

'Annoying little brat,' Neah spat.

'Every world has their own version of… 'that' kind of guy,'

'Though it is appreciated that the boy doesn't get in the way….' Neah stopped for a moment before a scrowl that only Allen could hear, '…great, another pair of love birds by a beautiful fountain.' With a sarcastic tone, he let out a sight before telling Allen to wake him up when it is all over and went to sleep. Sometimes, Allen envy his uncle.

"It is like a dream that I can be alone with you, Kirche. A beautiful dream," Allen heard that and saw another pair siting on the edge of a fountain. The only difference from the ones earlier was that one of them was wearing a purple cape while the other was wearing a black cape. The student with the purple cape was pulling the girl in black cape closely, which reminds Allen too much of his time when he was brought up by Master Cross. Except that they both have darker skin, but that fact stands little to stop Allen from thinking about his former Master.

"Tonight, we'll just end with a fever," the female student really knows how to use words to attract males, which made Allen feel uneasy. Surely, Master will do anything for someone like her. Allen thought before approaching them to ask direction, atleast they were not so arrogant as that Guiche guy. After he greeted them, he asked that where he could find a place to wash laundry. They looked at him for a few moments and stared at him awkwardly. Allen was sweating from the staring until a voice broke the silence.

"Hmm, aren't you the one that Louise the Zero summoned as her familiar?" the boy asked, Allen was still in the dark about this whole 'Louise the Zero' thing but he'll find out….eventually.

"Yeah, you're that plebeian familiar Louise summoned. What are you doing this late at night?" the girl, named Kirche, asked and Allen was wondering that were they even listening to what he just said.

"Yes, I am Master Valliere's new familiar and my name is Allen Walker. And I was wondering where can I wash these," asked nicely with his ever cheerful smile on his face to hide the fact that he felt annoyed. The two students looked at him, then the laundry he was carrying within his right arm then each other. Out of the blue, they started laughing, saying that Louise was too lazy to even ask one of the school maid to wash them. They pointed the way and Allen thanked them before walking away, but he was pratically running away from those two who couldn't stop laughing.

"By the way, why is he hiding his left arm? It was as if he didn't want anyone to see it," the male student asked and only did they stopped.

"You're right, my love. It is very strange… and mysterious too," Kirche stated with a smile before she went over to him closely again, "but we'll worry about that later. Shall we continue?"

'Now there's a female version of Master Cross,' Allen was feeling more irritated by the minute, but all that died down when he finally got out into the school ward. He look around and found just the place to do the job, he was about to went over there until someone bumped into him from behind.

"OH!" Allen heard before turning around to see a young woman wearing a maid's uniform on the ground, she looks more asian than anyone he had met in the school ground. Maybe she came from a different country?

"I'm sorry that I didn't see you there. Here, let me help you," Allen said and using his covered left hand to effortlessly, shocking the maid of how strong he was. The maid, feeling embarressed apologies to him about how clumsy she was.

"Not to worry, I really don't mind at all. My name is Allen Walker by the way, what is yours?" He asked and the maid said that her name is Siesta and she works as one of the school's maid, then she asked him why would a noble do laundry when there are maids to do that.

"Well…..you see, I'm not a noble. I just got summoned by anoble to be her familiar," Siesta's eyes widen when she listens to his explaination.

"Oh, so you're that familiar that everyone are talking about. So it really is true," Siesta exclaimed but then her eyes narrowed toward the laundry that Allen carried. "As an apology, I'll help you to wash your master's cloths. It is after all my job as a school maid," she quicky took them and wash them, much to Allen's surprised. She does sound like Lenalee, feeling a bit nostalgic.

"Tell me, Allen." Siesta's question snapped Allen back to reality, "Where are you from?"

Allen thought for a while, he couldn't tell her that he was from another world. So he had to lie a bit just to keep things safe.

"A place far far away from here, which is a good thing because there are certain things… happening," he lied with a bit of truth at the last part. Before they knew it, they were talking for hours about all the things here in Tristian Academy and the other country (mostly was Siesta talking, Allen just listens).

The laundry were done and dried, and dawn was just few hours away. They then parted ways, saying that they'll meet again for more talk.

"It is nice to have someone to talk to. See ya, Allen," Siesta waved before disappeared into the school. Allen then made his way to Louise's room, holding those neatly done laundry with his right hand.

Talking with Siesta made Allen feel better since his last conversation with someone normally was a long time ago. Another nostalgic feeling surfaces, but Allen was glad that he had found someone like Lenalee here in this new world. He looked up and saw the two moons, one small while the other was big. He stated that it was a beautiful night, before walking back in.

Morning came and Louise was still sleeping deeply when someone shook she until she opens her eyes, what she saw was a blurred image of white with two pools of silver. When she regain her senses, she saw Allen shaking her with only his right hand.

"Who are you?" It was the only thing that came out of her mouth before the white teen slightly rubbed her hair, stating that she is cute when she does that. "Wa….wait! You shouldn't treat your master like that! Show some respect, familiar!" Louise finally remembers and was sulking on why she can't get anything awesome like a dragon or a griffin. She wasn't done with her sulking when she suddenly notice that Allen had gone to get a chair to stand on one leg and then balance himself on top of it with his right hand, which he then do push-ups on top of it! It shocked Louise to no end that she was speechless that he does it quickly and effortlessly when he did 5,000 of it in just 10 minutes. (P.S. he had trained himself to push through his limits for the past 100 years, he was feeling too bored with normal push-ups.)

'Oi! Stop staring at my beloved nephew, brat!' Neah cried but knew that Louise can't hear him. 'Good morning, Allen ~' greeted Neah with a melodious tone. Allen greeted back and was wondering where Timcampy went since last night, because his little golem hasn't return to him.

"Master, isn't it time for breakfast?" Allen, done with his workout, politely smiled and handed her clean cloths for the day, including her undies in which Allen was glad that he wore gloves and had trained to be a butler in his early years. He turned and waited for Louise to change but she was looking at him as if she was expecting something from him, Allen knew what it was and was hoping that she does it herself.

'She isn't thinking straight, is she?' Neah, as always, stating the obvious and Allen, sweatdropped as the minutes past.

"Familiar, change me." Louise ordered and Allen just facepalmed. He knew it in the beginning when she was staring at him, he really needs to help this girl to be independent. Reluctanly, he dressed her and she was astonished on how he does it nicely and quickly in a neat manner. After he was finished, he opens the door and Louise led the way to get breakfast for the both of them.

It was a silent walk through the school that only Louise realised that it was way too early for student to be awake at this hour, but the look on her familiar's face told her that there is a reason why. Then a deafening and rumbling noises were heard, Louise was wondering on how was it possible that that kind of loudness can be made. Allen sheepishly smiled at her and she was shocked at this fact that it was her familiar's stomach!

Luckily they made it to the hall and saw that no one was around, only waitresses greeted them. Louise went to a seat and Allen did his duty as her familiar/butler, later asking what he'll be eating. Louise pointed onto the floor which revealed a plate with a bread on it, much to Allen's dismay.

"Only nobility are allow to sit on the table and dine in this hall, familiars are suppose to wait outside until their master finished their meal. Today I made an exception for you to eat here, be grateful for that." Louise said before she say her prayers.

'WHY. YOU. BRAT!' if Allen hadn't stop Neah from taking over his body, Louise might be in a more 'tighter' situation. Allen picks the plate up and without a second wasted he swallowed it down, then he asked for permission to go to the kitchen.

"There is something that I need to do in there, I won't be long," Allen stated his reasons and Louise granted his request with a hint of annoyance before dismissing him. Louise was deep in thought about what she was going to do today and she hasn't finish her meal when Allen came back few minutes later, claming that he was done.

"Master, we better leave before someone else comes in," his suggestion made Louise nervouse for some reason but before she could even ask, a scream interupted them from the kitchen!

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE PREPARED MEALS FOR THE STUDENTS!? EVEN THE STORAGE IS EMPTY? WHERE DID ALL THE SUPPLIES GO?!"

That was enough to convince Louise to leave with her familiar, not before he drowned her leftovers. They managed to run out from the hall with no one suspecting anything, passing by few students before they made it to the school ward. But still not far enough for not hearing the shocked cries of students whose meals disappeared.

"Seriously, how could you eat all that within few minutes? Not to mention the supplies for the other meals as well," Louise had overcome the exhaustion from all the running and later question her familiar who only smiles at her shyly.

"I need to eat a lot to maintain my…health," Allen answered carefully, not wanting to reveal anything about his Innocence to her yet. Then something caught his attention, there were students wearing black cape same as Louise gathering and were having tea with their animals as Allen dudded 'familiars'.

"Master, what are they doing over there?" He asked as he pointed that direction. Louise took one look and her expression became annoyed.

"All second year students have a day off today, we're suppose to communicate with our freshly summoned familiar." Louise explained and when she turned, she saw Allen smiling sweetly at her. Louise knew what he was indicating, but she really doesn't want to be seen with a plebeian. "Familiar, go get me some tea. I'll find a table," Allen totally got the message; Louise was not in the mood to bond with him. He did as he was told and went looking for it.

'Allen, that girl really needs to learn a thing or two about manners,' Neah was clearly not in the same page as Allen, even they shared the same body they have different opinion on things.

'Just give her time and besides,' Allen mentally wincked at his uncle, 'we still haven't really figure it out about why everyone calls her 'Louise the Zero', maybe she doesn't want to be insulted further with another nickname. From what I heard, a human familiar is unheard of and a commoner (which they thought) are useless to them.'

'True, and I hope it's a good one….' Allen was about to reply until he bumped into someone and went to apologise. What took him by surprise was the fact that it was the maid from last night!

"Allen!?"

"Siesta?!"

The two was so surprised that they were no aware that the other students were staring at them for a brief moment. Allen shyly help her pick up the things that she dropped and gave it back to her, apologising again.

"It's fine, Allen. Nothing to worry about," Siesta kindly said, her smile really reminded Allen one of Lenalee's smiles.

"So, delivery cakes to the students?" Allen said as he saw a really tempting looking cake on the plate Siesta was holding. Then, a boy's shouted at the maid that when is his cake coming. Allen saw it and knew it was the boy from last night and also that he was siting with another girl student in black cape. "Interesting, time to have a little fun…" Allen chuckle mischievously and kindly offer Siesta help on delivering that cake.

Allen gently took it and brought it to their table, just in time to hear that Guiche using the same line on the girl named Katie, the female student from last night.

'This is going to be good…' Neah like Allen's plan.

"I will never lie to you, Montmorency. For you are the only one for me," Guiche declared to her as he held his rose up high, talk about outdated romance pose. The girl was obviously annoyed and yet he hasn't got a clue.

"Young man, you used that line with the girl last night. Sure that seems to work because she was only a first year, surely a second year needs more work than that." Allen suggested to him out of the blue and smiled, right in front of the girl he was currently having! "Believe me, my previous master does it all the time regardless of all the protest that I tried to stop his womanizing ways. What you're doing compare to him is nothing but a simply act," Allen finished his statement before he leaves.

"What is he talking about, Guiche?" Montmorency was cleary suspecting something and Allen could feel that Guiche guy was sweating.

'Speak of the Devil, it's that Katie from last night!' Neah excitingly exclaimed and Allen grinned darkly. He could already hear that Guiche was trying to escape with Montmorency. Too bad for him, the fun is just about to begin, Allen thought as he walked over to the girl and asked if she needed help with anything.

"If you're looking for Sir Giuche, my lady. He's right there holding hands with another student," Allen pointed to the nervous young blond and a confused Montmorency. The girl thanked him and quickly went toward them, Allen giggled under his breath softly while Neah laughed out loud inside his mind.

'Allen! Please turn around, I want to see how this is going!' Neah eagerly urged Allen and was just in time to see the two girls staring angrily at Guiche who was sweating like a waterfall. 'Now this is what I call entertainment, I bet the brown cape one slaps him first.'

'The black cape one will slap him first.'

'Losers does lets the winner control the body for a month.'

'Deal.'

As the tension began to increase and the other students starting to gather, Guiche tries his best to calm the two girls down with his smooth talk. At first it began to work, and he managed to sight in relief.

"You see, ladies. There was nothing going-"

"Then why do you have to see another woman without the other one knowing?" Allen cuts him off with an innocent smile, he just wanted to see what would happen if he puts more wood into the fire.

The girls became upset again and started to walk away from that two-timing jerk. Before they do Montmorency slapped him hard, making him fall with a burning red pain on his cheek.

'I win, uncle.'

'You're just too good at betting, my beloved nephew.'

Allen wasn't paying attention to Guiche until Guiche accused him of deceiving the two poor girls to tears. The crowd became wild and were interested in the commotion.

"You! A commoner, should know your place!" He accused as he pointed his rose at Allen, "I challenge you to a dual!"

Allen and Neah heard the word loud and clear, the whole ward was in silence. Everyone saw Allen standing still on his spot, they thought that he was about to start begging for mercy but something entirely opposite was received.

At first, he was giggling softly. Then chuckling and lastly laughing loudly but still retain his manners, it was a wonder that he could do all that without losing his composition.

'That guy must be losing a few screws lose.'

"Hahahaha, I'm…ppffttt…sorry." Clearly he was not, trying hard not to laugh and wanted to make things clear, "Did I heard correctly that you, wanted to challenge me to a dual? You, who has no experience in combat, challenge me?" After Guiche irritatedly nodded, Allen couldn't hold it much longer as he let all his laughter out. If Neah has a body, he would already be lying on the ground having a hard time to breath with all his laughter. "Alright, I accept."

Guiche was sure that that commoner would be frighten but all he gotten was a cheerful white teen who was confident enough to beat him in a dual. He was sure to teach that commoner a lesson and having fun while at it.

"Why don't we have it here right now?" The white-haired teen asked suddenly, throwing Guiche off for a bit. Guiche wasn't even sure that Allen would be so quick in making decision but, what does he have to lose? With a wicked smile, Guiche took out his rose while Allen took off his long overcoat in which to reveal a very slim but well trained body. His muscles weren't big but were very clear under the tight blue shirt he wore; he was also wearing short tight jeans that people that usually went to gyms wear.

It was clear that all the girls were admiring his build, even Kirche was too interested in him to even bother the man she was currently talking to.

"Oh my, oh my…." That was all she could say.

Slowly in an orderly manner, he took off his gloves but not the warps on his left arm. However, his left hand was in warps as well. This made everyone question on why would he go such length to hide his left arm.

"I'm ready, Guiche. Just yell loudly if things got out of hand," Allen politely told Guiche while he ready his battle stand, which led to much more anger rising inside of him. Just before they could begin, a certain pink-haired girl ran out from the crowd and towards the two.

"STOP!" she cried and went to beg Guiche for forgiveness. "My familiar is new here and doesn't know much, please forgive him and I will make sure he won't do it again." Allen was shocked that the same girl that treated him nothing more than a mere familiar would do this just to protect him, unlike Master Cross.

'She might not be as bad as she seems,' Neah admitted.

"He had insulted me and two beautiful girls, he must be punish for his arrogant." Guiche was stubborn as ever.

"But having duals on school grounds are not allowed!" Louise reasoned with him but to no success.

"Having a dual with another student is not allowed, but there is no rules that states on having a dual with a commoner or a familiar." Guiche replied as if he was sure he was going to win.

Siesta was trying to see what was all the commotion was about but knew that Allen must have been involved himself with trouble, she was currently pushing through the crowd which started with a few tens to a few hundreds. She hopes that Allen will be okay when she manages to get to him.

"Master, don't worry about me." Allen tries to reassure Louise who looks up and was worried. "I have dealt with tougher opponents and compared to them, he's only a small fry." Guiche clearly heard that and was steaming in rage. "I'll finish this up quick and we can go back to the hall for more food, cause I'm still feeling a bit hungry." Allen smiled and went to face Guiche without a care in the world, Louise thought that how will Allen win without using magic.

"I must first compliment you for not running away, commoner." Guiche smirked, he thought that he was going to be an easy fight. But what he got for a reply was something that he never would expect to see from the always smiling familiar.

"I would think of my own safety before blindly and foolishly challenge an opponent that you have no knowledge of, if I were you," Allen flashed what was far from nice but malice, and for a second Guiche thought that he saw golden eyes instead of silver. He shook off the feeling of fear and pointed his rose at his opponent.

"My name is Guiche de Grammont and my runic name is bronze, so you will be fighting my Valkyrie in combat." He declared loudly just to impress everyone and to teach that commoner to know his place. He threw five pedals from his rose, the pedals shone and was soon replaced by five battle armours.

'Uncle, do you think scary him a bit would do some good? Cause my eye is itching and I can't hold it much longer.' Allen lift his right hand up to cover his left eye, which confuses everyone.

'Sure ~, the curse might even shut him up for all I care. This kid is too noisy for his own good,' Neah encourages him to do so and just before that he does, he knew that he needs to explain a few things to Louise.

After he puts down his hand, everyone who saw what was revealed were shocked! One large cogwheel was floating above his left eye while a smaller one was rotating on the top left of the large one and with closer inspection, his pupil is a reverse pentagram while his eye was pitch black! The cogwheels were rotating and the runic along side his scar was shinning too. Allen then realizes that he could see everyone's soul, but not in the way how the Akuma souls were.

'It seems that this rune allows you to see the true intention of people and their hearts, interesting.' Neah said as he pointed towards the crowd, 'You can actually see their fear.'

'Yeah, and Guiche pretty much has it all.' Allen sweatdropped at the sight of Guiche's soul as it was trembling in fear and looked more like a coward instead of how he looks like in front of Allen.

'Yeah, the noble is really brave.' Neah said sarcastically at the last part. Guiche was so scared that he immediately order his Valkyrie to attack. Allen was expecting this as he avoided all their attecks in speed that was almost inhuman! The crowd awe in amazement and Louise could only stare in disbelief, her familiar is far from normal.

"This is getting boring," Allen said and it shocked Guiche and the rest of the school, "time to end this." Allen avoided the last attack and with just one kick on the center of a Valkyrie, it shattered into dust. Then Allen punch the closest one, bumping it to another before both of them crumbled to dust. "Three down, two to go."

The last two charged at him without stopping, Allen just yawned as he grabbed both of their fist just before they could even hit his face. He then effortlessly smashed them to bits before dusting off his hands. "That is way I always wear gloves, I hate dusts."

No one knows how to react to this statement, but they could tell that Guiche was getting serious about this dual that he summoned ten more of them. And they were armed with weapons, deadly weapons!

"Guiche! Are you insane? You're going to kill him with that!" Louise shouted but Guiche ignored her warnings and commanded his Valkyire to charge all together.

Allen just sigh in sight, Guiche was just a sore loser and a spoiled rich kid. Still he doesn't want to activate his Innocence or his Noah, because he could easily get rid of them and risked being revealed.

'Thanks to Kanda's training and my battle experiences with Akumas, this dual is a piece of cake.' Allen was feeling glad about it.

'Still, you could use some of my powers to stop this silly little child's play. I'm staring to get annoyed by this, it seems so...boring.' Neah was bored and so was Allen, but he still doesn't want anyone to find out about his ability. So as the enemies closes in, Allen grabbed one of their sword and swung its owner away. He elegantly holds the sword with his right hand, putting the remaining Valkyre to shame in the art of swordmanship.

By then, nearly the entire school was watching the match and was amazed at how Allen handles a sword. He gracefully swipe it in one fluent motion and then eight of them were obliterated to dust. He then stabbed the remaining two in just one move and they turned to dusts on his sword.

Allen turned a malicing look at Guiche who fell onto the ground and was about to summon more, but stopped when a sword was placed dangerously close to his neck. Allen had moved in an incredible speed that no one saw him move, it was a wonder that how he managed to accomplish that speed.

"I surrender! I surrender! I surrender!" Guiche cried as he put both his hands up, Allen glared at him with his golden eyes and Guiche sworn that he saw death in them. But then those golden eyes were quickly replaced by kind silver eyes, together with a kind smile.

Allen threw the already crumbled sword away and lend a hand to help Guiche to get up. Too statled at the sudden change, Guiche shakily took Allen's offered hand and stood up.

"Remember, Guiche." Allen began before he return to Louise's side, "If it is your mistake, apologise for it. Don't blame it on the innocences, or you will be forever alone…." The last part was a whisper that he couldn't catch on. But nevertheless, he was grateful that the dual was over and his life was spared.

"Allen! How in the name of Brimir did you do that?" Louise demanded to know, but then she saw the sudden surprised face of her familiar, "What?"

"Nothing, master. It's just that … this is the first time that you actually address me with my name." Allen said after snapping out from his surprised. Louise didn't realized it but she shook it off and said that he is her familiar and that it is her responsibility in taking care of him.

Then the whole school swarmed towards them and started questioning regarding his left eye and his inhuman speed. All of them wanted to know if he really is a plebeian or someone more than that. But the noises made by the students couldn't compare the noises made by his stomach that sounded the entire school. They were all taken back by the noise and Allen just sheepishly smiles at them.

"Come on, Allen. If we don't get you something to eat, I think that your stomach will disturb the other classes." Louise stated before she pulled onto Allen's right arm and dragged him away from the crowd, much to Allen's relief.

"Thank you, master." Allen smiles warmly as they made their way with a few of the students tailing them for more answers, and also wanting to know how they were going to stop that rumbling.

"I must go now, wonder how much he's going to eat to satisfy that hunger of his. Are you coming, Tabitha?" Kirche asked before leaving the her blue haired friend.

"Mysterious." Tabitha said as she look up from her book and eyed Allen as he and Louise made their way to the hall.

Inside one of the tower stood the headmaster of the academy, he saw the entire event and was astonished by the outcome. At the same time, he was concern about this new human familiar. Professor Cobalt was there with him as he had done his research on this familiar as well, he was a little pale but mostly afraid that any of it were true.

"Interesting to be said, he effordlessly defeat young Guiche and was not even breaking a sweat." The headmaster stated as he stoke his familiar, a mouse, on his shoulder. "But we must keep an eye out for him, who knows what his true abilities are."

"Headmaster," Prof. Cobalt was clearly in distress about this matter, he held out a rather old book with it cover long worn off. The book itself was thick and heavy, and a heavy feeling coming out of it. "You need to see this."

The headmaster turned to see what Cobalt wanted to show him, Cobalt merely open up the front page and the headmaster's eyes widen.

"Is this the rune showed on the side of the familiar's face along with his scare?"

"Yes."

"But this is ….." The headmaster doesn't want to believe it. Because only legend has it and the power of it is too much to even begin with. But Cobalt was not a man that lie or makes mistakes like this.

"The rune of the 'Destroyer of Time'."
