Chapter 2: Getting To Know Each Other
The next morning Louise woke up and opened her eyes. She sat up and went to rub her wrist. She was surprised to see her wrist was taped up. 'How did this happen?' She thought. Then she turned and saw Drayko sleeping with his blanket, pillow, and futon.
'Where did he get that? And was he the one who did this?' She thought but then she just shook her head.
'No, there's no way he did this.. right?' She thought as she got out of bed and went to the mirror and brushed her hair. After she did she turned and faced a sleeping Drayko.
"Fami- I mean Drayko get up." She said. Drayko then groaned and his eyes opened.
"What do you want princess?" He asked as he turned his head and looked at Louise with a tired look on his face. Louise was about to go for the whip and attempt to hit him but after last night she decided against it. Then she sighed and stood up.
"Change my clothes." She ordered. Drayko looked at her like she was crazy and had a blush on his face.
"Are you insane!? I'm a guy.. and do you really want an inpressionable 14 year old to see you without clothes!?" He asked.
"You're a famailiar and.." She was saying before she looked at Drayko with wide eyes.
"Wait!? Your 14!?" She asked.
"Yes!? How old did you think I was!?" He asked.
"I don't know! I thouht you we're at least 16! I can't believe I summoned a 14 year old who's taller than me!" She said.
"Is that really the concern right now?" Drayko asked.
"Right! Get out while I change!" She said.
"Don't have to ask me twice." Drayko said as he got up and left the room. He waited outside the door until Louise opened it fully changed.
"Let's go." She said as she walked passed him and he followed. The two walked and Drayko learned he was following Louise to breakfast and wasn't surprised at the small amount of food he was given.
'Damn stingy noble who is this gonna feed anyway?' He thought. After eating he went for a walk to explore the school while the students were still eating. After a while he took a nap in a tree until breakfast came to an end. Then he met up with Louise as she left the dining hall.
"So master, will I be accompanying you to class today?" Drayko asked in a mocking tone but not really caring whether he did or not. She heard the tone and instantly hated it but she gritted her teeth.
"No today the second years don't have class instead we're supposed to spend the day getting better acquainted with our newly summoned familiars." She replied doing her best to not yell at the disrespectful tone.
'Damn it, I have to spend the whole day talking to her? (sigh) Well at least this gives me the chance to try and bury the hatchet with her since I was a little mean to her last night.' Drayko thought.
"But before all that I want you to go and get me some tea." She said.
"Sure fine." Drayko said surprising Louise that he didn't say anything sarcastic or rude. However a voice spoke up before he walked off.
"Oh hello Louise." a female voice said. Louise and Drayko turned around to see Kirche Zerbst walking toward them with a large red skinned lizard following her. Louise frowned at the sight of her.
"Hello, Kirche." She said in a spiteful tone.
"what do you want?" Louise questioned.
'Damn, girlie must really hate this girl if her tone has anything to say about it.' Drayko thought as he observed the two.
"Oh nothing I just came to congratulate you again on summoning a commoner as a familiar...Louise the zero." Kirche chuckled.
Louise was about to respond but Drayko spoke up.
"Louise the zero? You mean her?" Drayko asked a bit confused while he pointed his right thumb at Louise.
"Why yes I do its because Louise has zero elemental affinities and a zero success rate at spell casting other than blowing things up or like summoning you a commoner as a familiar." Kirche smiled. Drayko just absorbed what Kirche just told him and then he got angry which was visible to Louise.
'Is he getting angry because of what the Zerbst called me?' Louise asked herself but before she could ponder on it more her question was answered.
"Kirche was it?" Drayko asked and said girl nodded.
"Yes my name is Kirche Zerbst." she said.
"Well, Kirche I should tell you that you really shouldn't make fun of someone based on appearances or ability because you never know if that person is dangerous or not." Drayko said.
"Oh and are you saying that you a commoner are dangerous?" Kirche asked.
"Well let me let you decide that." Drayko said as he walked over to a tree, pulled back his right hand clenched into a fist and punched it causing it to shake a little.
Now everyone who was there minus a few people had been watching as Drayko hit the tree and when nothing happened they were about to laugh. But they all never got the chance when a CRACK sound was heard and the tree toppled over and the eyes of the ones present widened at what they just saw. Drayko just ignored it and walked back over to Louise and Kirche who were both still surprised.
"Now that wasn't even my full strength so I should tell you that if you make a comment about Louise like that again.. I won't hold back when I do worse to you and that lizard of yours." Drayko said just smiling at Kirche and before she could respond.
"Now Louise I believe you wanted me to get you some tea before we sat down and talked?" Drayko stated more than actually asking to snap Louise out of her daze. It was a bit but she did.
"U-uh y-yes th-that's correct." Louise stuttered then she and Drayko walked off together. Drayko had gotten a single cup of tea and took it to where Louise was sitting. "Here's your tea." Drayko said as he sat down across from her.
"Thank you, now tell me how did you just do that?" Louise asked.
"I'll tell you but on two conditions." Drayko said. Louise was about to yell at him and demand he tell her but decided against it.
"Fine what are your conditions?" She asked.
"One, You are to call me by my name only my name and two believe that what i'm about to tell you is not a lie or just some made up story. Deal?" Drayko said and Louise sighed.
"Fine Deal." she said.
"Okay first I should tell you that when you summoned me you summoned me from another universe, dimension, or world whatever you wanna call it." He said and Louise's eyes widened.
'I summoned him from another world I didn't think that was possible.' Louise thought to herself and nodded for him to continue.
"Okay second thing.. now with this one I just wanna get this off my chest but when I woke up yesterday and you said you were a noble... I wanted to laugh my ass off." Drayko said. Louise was about to yell but before she could Drayko had put his hand up to stop her.
"The reason is because in my world humans, angels, and demons all live in forced coexistence. No heaven. No hell. In my world, humans see demons as evil and angels as good even though that's not always true. There's also the fact that angels and demons hate each other too. But demons and angels have so much political and governmental power that humans can never be nobles or royalty in my world." Drayko said. Louise was surprised again.
"So for example if all of tristain were in your world then what?" Louise asked.
"Well then there wouldn't be a single human at this school at all because you wouldn't be a noble and the king, queen, prince, or princess or whoever is running this country wouldn't be in charge because they wouldn't be allowed to it would be some demon or angel." Drayko answered.
'God I don't even think I wanna live or even visit his world.' Louise thought.
"Well what about the use of magic? Can humans even use that then?" She asked and Drayko nodded.
"Yes, just like this world some can use magic and some can't just depends." Drayko replied. Louise gave a sigh of relief then she wondered what about Drayko.
"Does that mean you can use magic Drayko?" she asked and Drayko nodded.
"Yeah, I can but going into that will cause me to have to tell you why I defended you when that Kirche girl made fun of you earlier." Drayko said. Now that peaked Louise's interest since she was wondering why he would defend her especially after last night and she nodded.
"Go on." she said.
"Okay well in my world we have multiple types of magic that I really don't feel like listing but there is a type of magic that is considered so basic that any 8 year old should know it." Drayko said.
"Well what is this basic magic?" Louise asked.
"I use sound magic." Drayko said.
"Okay but what does that have to do with what happened earlier?" Louise asked.
"Well that's because like you.. i'm an outcast, that's because of certain things but also because I can only use that one basic magic.." He said before he sighed.
"You see the way things are in my world, strength is determined by social class along with how many types of magic's you know other than the basic two and how advanced you are in those magic's use when compared to others who know less or who are less advanced. So me who can only use that one basic magic i'm seen as weak, a loser, and.. a zero." Drayko said.
'So he's treated the same way I am that's why he stood up for me because he doesn't want me to go through that, he actually cares. but why do I feel that's not all?' Louise thought as she smiled. After that she looked at him.
"Drayko no offense but I seriously hate the world you come from." she said.
"Don't worry about it because I hate it too, Louise." Drayko said.
"Oh but I do want to know how is magic in your world different than here?" Louise asked.
"Well we don't need wands to cast magic just our magical energy and the ability to direct it depending on the spell and also we have really no need for long winded magic words for any spells just a simple 1 to probably 5 word spell plus there are ones that don't have any words for them and that's it." Drayko answered.
"That's really amazing I wish at least that was the same here." Louise said thinking what it would be like not to have to use a wand to cast spells.
"Well enough about my world and etc. I want to get to know you better Louise." Drayko said and she nodded with a smile. From then on the two talked and Drayko got to know a little more about Louise. Some things about her family, her home, and things about her. Drayko had avoided talking about his past or his family so just as Louise was about to ask a girl with brown hair walked up to them.
"Um, excuse me i'm looking for someone his name is Guiche, do you perhaps know where he is?" She asked.
"Well what does he look like?" Drayko asked.
"He's blonde and carries a rose around with him." She responded. Drayko turned his head to look around and saw who she was looking for flirting with some blonde girl and then he smiled mischievously.
'Well this could be very interesting.' Drayko thought.
"I believe that would be him right over there." Drayko said pointing at said boy.
"Thank you." she said as she hurried off.
"Drayko I saw that look on your face and you know Guiche is going to be upset if he finds out you set him up like that." Louise stated having watched the conversation.
"Louise i'm gonna take a guess that he makes fun of you too right?" Drayko asked and Louise nodded.
"Well then he totally deserves it not only for cheating on two girls but for also treating a sweet girl like you so badly." Drayko said causing Louise to blush a little. Then the two watched the situation Drayko technically caused lead to Guiche being shouted at by the two girls and then storming off crying. Drayko couldn't help laugh at Guiche along with the other students. All the while Guiche looked around trying to find a way to hide the embarrassment, and then he saw Louise's familiar laughing at him.
"You!" he said, pointing his wand at Drayko.
"You have caused 2 lovely ladies great pain today, and I will not stand for it." Drayko stopped laughing and looked at him.
"Me? I just told her where to find you, it's your fault that those girls are crying." Drayko said as he stood up from his chair.
"So what do you intend to do?" Drayko asked, curious.
"I intend to duel you." Guiche said, boasting an arrogant smile.
"Aren't duels banned though?" a random student asked.
"Yes, but not if it's between a noble and a commoner." Drayko chuckled.
"I never thought some noble as snobbish as you would ever dirty his hands in a duel." Drayko said. Louise placed a hand on his arm.
"Drayko I think this has gone far enough now please just apologize and let it go?" Louise asked now worried for his safety. She then turned to face Guiche.
"I apologize, Drayko can be very set in his own ways sometimes, please do not take offense." Louise said.
"No offense was taken, and do not worry. The duel will be a quick one and I will not kill your familiar. I am of a family with a military history, whereas your familiar's parents were most likely a wench and a drunken foo-" Guiche was about to say.
"Don't you ever talk about my parents like that, you useless waste of space!" Drayko roared now extremely pissed. Everyone took a step back from Drayko, and Guiche seemed to have lost some of his confidence. Drayko then took a step forward towards Guiche.
"You want to have a duel? Fine let's have a duel." Drayko said glaring. After that Drayko turned away from guiche smiling and started walking away. He was no longer annoyed. No he was furious, he hated being around all those nobles well except for Louise. They just have to have such damn huge egos and huge amounts of pride that they would go as far as to insult a person's parents.
Drayko was supposed to meet Guiche at Vestri court, wherever that was. His mind then went to thinking about Louise she was most likely worried about his safety even if he can use magic.
'I doubt the arrogant little prick will even fight me himself, he'll probably just use his magic to fight.' Drayko thought. Now Drayko had been in a lot of fights before and he was absolutely sure of his combat skills. He knew how to fight with hand-to-hand combat, a sword, his daggers, and with a bow. The only thing is that with him in a new world he had no idea what type of magic Guiche will use to fight against him. As he walked he heard footsteps behind him, and then whoever it was grabbed his arm.
"Drayko, where do you think you're going?" Louise asked him worried.
"I'm going to go and fight guiche." Drayko said.
"Are you crazy.. look I know you said you can use magic and all but you could still be completely hurt and i.. i don't want that so i want you to apologize to guiche an-" Louise was saying unti Drayko interuppted her.
"Louise I can't do that. He not only makes fun of you but he acts like a jerk to girls and he made fun of my parents i can't just let that slide especially since..." Drayko says then trails off looking down to the ground.
"Especially since what?" Louise asked but Drayko stayed silent.
"Drayko? Especially since what?" Louise asked grabbing Drayko's head to force him to look her in the eyes.
"E-Especially.. especially since my parents are dead. Well.. they were killed.. when I was 5 years old." Drayko said tears welling up in his eyes from the memory. Louise was shocked but now she understood why he snapped at Guiche like that.
'Now i get it Guiche went too far speaking like that about people.. who could never defend themselves but now he has me wondering even more what his life was like before me summoning him to be my familiar.' Louise thought.
"Louise let me ask you something? Do you trust me?" Drayko asked looking Louise in the eyes. Louise was shaken by the question but she nodded.
"I know we've only known each other a short while i mean i summoned you here yesterday, and I know we didn't start off on the right foot but yes i trust you Drayko." Louise said smiling at him and then he surprised her when he put his forehead to hers.
"Thanks Louise, so now i promise you that i'll help you show the world that you Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere are definetly no zero, in fact i would say you can be, you are, and you are meant to be the greatest mage ever." Drayko said shocking Louise.
'To think in only a day i have someone who believes in me who believes I can be something and now he wants to help me show everyone that.' Louise thought tears welling up in her eyes. Louise just nodded while she was crying.
"Okay.. and Drayko than-" Louise was about to say but Drayko put a finger to her lips then leaned in close to her ear.
"Wait and thank me until after we show them how great you are okay?" Drayko whispered and Louise only nodded again.
"Good now we need to get to vestri court." Drayko said and the two walked toward vestri court. As they made it they noticed a large crowd was gathering where the duel would be taking place.
'Hot damn I think the whole school is here to see Guiche get his ass kicked.' Drayko thought as he and Louise walked towards the crowd. As they came up to the crowd all the students turned to face them and parted so they could past Louise stopped at head of the crowd as Drayko walked into the middle of the circle. Guiche was already waiting for him and looked like he completely gained his confidence back. As Drayko walked emerged from the crowd Guiche developed an arrogant smile across his face.
"Well i'm surprised that you came after all I thought you would've chickened out." Guiche taunted and Drayko just smiled at that.
"Well i'm not one for chickening out but after how you started trembling earlier i'm surprised you didn't run off instead." Drayko replied. Guiche just laughed.
"Let's just see if you can still talk like that after our duel." He said.
"Oh, i wouldn't worry about that if i were you, oh no, if i were i would be wondering what everyone around the school will be saying." Drayko said.
"What are you talking about you commoner familar?" Guiche asked.
"Well the first thing.." He started as he held up 1 finger.
"Everyone's going to be talking about how bad a thrashing you took." Drayko said.
"And the second.." He said as he held up a second finger.
"Is gonna be how much of a better mage Louise is than the other students in this school." Drayko continued and the other students started laughing and some saying yeah right.
"Ha as if.. Louise the zero will forever be a zero." Guiche said and Drayko waved him off.
"Yeah, right whatever." Drayko said as he grabbed his daggers from their sheaths and got ready to face guiche.
"The fact that you still think you can defeat me is quiet funny it seems that i'll have to teach you about humility." he said. Guiche then pulled out his rose and waved it and a single petal fell off. The petal landed on the ground and a suit of armor emerged from the ground where the petal had landed. It stood a bit taller than Guiche and had a lance in hand.
"My name is Guiche the Bronze. I am an earth mage therefore your opponent will be the bronze golem, Valkyrie." He said smirking. Drayko sighed.
'I knew he wouldn't be fighting me himself. He's sending fake soldiers to fight me. coward.' Drayko thought. The Valkyrie charged toward Drayko holding out its lance in front of itself. Drayko then sheathed his daggers, ran towards it meeting its charge.
Drayko then grabbed a hold of the lance and the space around Drayko's fist became heavy however he seemed not to notice. He then pulled the lance and it along with the Valkyrie flew toward him and then Drayko threw a punch at its head. The blow collided and the force shattered the Valkyries head into pieces. Drayko just let the lance go and it along with the defeated Valkyrie crumbled away into dust. Everyone including Guiche was shocked that Drayko just beat the Valkyrie with a single punch.
'What was that? Was that his sound magic?' Louise thought. At that moment Guiche overcame his shock.
"N-no matter, I have more than that and this time I won't be going easy on you." Guiche said. He then waved his rose and 7 more petals fell to the ground and 7 Valkyries took their places.
"7 vs 1 not really fair odds." Drayko said and guiche smirked.
"Ha, afraid commoner?" Guiche asked and Drayko shook his head.
"No, not at all when I said not fair odds I meant not fair for you. I've faced bigger and tougher things than those Valkyries and been outnumbered by way more of them." Drayko said.
Drayko then raced toward all the Valkyries and they charged him. He dodged the first series of attacks. Then a Valkyrie came at Drayko slashing downward with a sword. Drayko stepped to the left dodging the sword and grabbed the Valkyries arm and flipped it onto its back then Drayko punched it in the abdomen breaking it in half. Then two Valkyries with lances came at Drayko from each side and as they closed in Drayko jumped up dodging the lances and the two Valkyries peirced each other. Then he as he came down he unsheathed his daggers again. Once on the ground he buried each dagger into the head of the two Valkyries and they crumbled away.
'3 down 4 to go.' Drayko thought.
At that moment a Valkyrie wielding a sword came up behind Drayko, he managed to dodge the sword but the Valkyrie threw a punch that struck him in the face and sent him back some.
"Okay, these things are learning a bit but there still no match for me." He said. Drayko the dodged another attack from the Valkyrie and caught its sword between his daggers. He then kicked the Valkyrie back just in time to dodge an attack from another Valkyrie with a sword. Drayko then charged the two and just managed to dodge slashes from them long enough for him to stab one Valkyrie in the neck with both daggers and behead it.
It was then that the other Valkyrie threw a punch. Drayko only managed to turn in time for the punch to strike him in the chest right where his pendant was. Drayko was sent back some and fell to a knee. 'Damn that hurt.' he thought then he heard a crack and he looked down. The jewel on his pendant was broken and falling apart.
"Oh no." He said and it was then that everyone got a big surprise. Drayko looked exactly the same but his canines were little longer, his ears were slightly pointed, and he had a black fur-tufted tail positioned just above his hips appeared out of nowhere.
(A/N: The tail is the same as Rin Okumura's from Blue Exorcist.)
'What the?' Louise thought as she was very surprised.
"What is with that tail?" Guiche asked what was on everyone's mind.
"(sigh) Geez, I didn't want anyone to see this but now that you have no real point in trying to lie." Drayko said as he stood up.
"If you must know what i am. I'm a Naphalem a half demon half angel hybrid." Drayko said. Everyone was now shocked the girl they made fun of summoned something that they never knew exsisted. Louise on the other hand was extremely shocked but it was because realization dawned on her about Drayko.
'He said that angels and demons hate each other, then him being a mix between them.. then.. he's been through a lot worse than he let's on.' Louise thought as she looked down.
"W-well, even if you aren't human that won't change the fact that your going to lose this little duel or the fact the Louise is still a zero." Guiche with a slightly unnerved and arrogant tone. Then a Valkyrie holding a lance lunged toward him. Drayko managed to sheath his daggers and sidestep the attack only get scratched on his side. He then grabbed the lance and pulled it from the Valkyrie's hands. He then put a hand on the Valkyries chestplate, then a magic circle appeared and then a wierd humming sound could be heard before it crumbled away.
"Wh-what did you do? All you did was place your hand on it? And what was that circle." Guiche asked surprised and Drayko looked toward him.
"I mentioned i'm a naphalem right? Well did you ever think somethng like me would actually exist in this world. You see i'm from another world where magic is much easier to use. I take your wand your useless but for me my magic is always with me. And that circle was just me using sound magic to strike your Valkyrie with a counter vibration." Drayko replied.
"Counter what?" Guiche asked and Drayko sighed.
"Counter. Vibration. Everything from objects, living creatures, immaterial creatures, space, time, matter, energy, and a everything else vibrates at a set frequency and sound magic when trained up can be used to counter these frequencies, thereby destroying the frequency I set off and the object in question. In otherwords, I can now just lay a hand on your Valkyries and destroy them." Drayko said with a smirk and everyone was further surprised saying things like 'He can use magic without a wand!?' or 'How could Louise the zero summon a familiar that can use magic?'
It was then that Valkyrie wielding a sword came at Drayko. He backed up allowing the sword to pass him by. He dodged a few other slashes before jumping back and putting a good about of distance between them. Then he charged at the Valkyrie and it lunged forward ready to stab Drayko through. However, Drayko sidestepped the sword, reached out and grabbed the Valkyrie's hand took its sword spun it around in his hand decapitated it and then stabbed it through the back causing it to fall to its knees and crumble away along with its sword.
Just as he thought that everything was done and over with an arrow flew past him grazing his cheek and leaving a cut. He turned around and saw the last Valkyrie holding a bow & arrow.
"Hmph, you call that a bow, pathetic." Drayko said. Then what he did next shocked everyone further. Directky beside Drayko was a rippling blue portal and Drayko put his left hand into it and pulled out a bow. The bow was big and black with red glowing eye-like spheres with black pupil-like parts in the center at the upper and lower curves of the bow along with a golden colored string connecting the two ends.
"Artemis its time to wake up sweetie." Drayko said and the top black pupil started moving.
"Huh?" a female child-like voice said suddenly. The top pupil of the bow started moving before it locked in on Drayko.
"Papa where are we?" The voice said. Everyone was further surprised as they looked toward the bow in Drayko's hand figuring the voice was emanating from it.
"Another world sweetie but i'll explain more later right now I have a special job to do." Drayko said.
"Huh? Special job?" she asked before the pupil looked at where Drayko's eyes were aimed.
"What is that and is it holding a bow too?" She asked and Drayko nodded.
"Its some metal Valkyrie that the blond noble kid made and yeah, its holding a bow." Drayko said as he then opened a portal on his right side and pulled out an arrow. The arrow was all black with a drill-like tip and a silver colored fletchling at the end. He then set the arrow and aimed toward the last Valkyrie. At the same time the Valkyrie aimed at Drayko. At that moment a glow started to emanate from underneath Drayko's arm warmer on his left hand. but he was too focused so he didn't notice.
But the bottom pupil on the bow moved and seemed to focus on it for a minute before looking back at Drayko. Drayko took a deep breath and then both archer's loosed their arrows. Drayko's arrow rapidly spun as it flew and when it struck the Valkyrie's arrow it ripped through it like it was nothing then it struck the Valkyrie and tore a large hole through it causing it to crumble away. Guiche was shocked that Drayko easily dealt with his Valkyries and didn't notice Drayko had gotten a new arrow and that he had it aimed at him.
"Do you surrender or do you want this arrow to rip through you like it did your precious Valkyrie?" Drayko asked smirking.
"Y-Yes! I yield." Guiche said fallng to his hands and knees. Now the crowd of students were shocked even more and Louise could barely believe her eyes. Then she ran and tackled Drayko to the ground. "Drayko that was amazing thank you, thank you so much." Louise said tears falling down her cheeks.
"Hey no problem Louise." Drayko said smiling. Louise then looked Drayko in the eyes and smilied back. It was then that they both realized just how close theirs faces were to each other and Louise quickly got up.
"Uh, sorry I didn't mean to do that." She said with a slight blush. Drayko then stood up and dusted himself off.
"No problem Louise you were just happy." Drayko said with a small blush of his own. Then the two walked off with Drayko still carrying his bow in hand. The two made it to Louise's room and Drayko went and laid down on his futon and quicky fell asleep.
'Well i guess he does deserve to rest after all that happened today.' Louise thought. She then changed her clothes and went to bed as well. That night as the two slept a red glow filled the room.
"Geez, papa you went right to sleep and forgot about me. You said you'd explain to me what was going on. (sigh) Guess i'll ask in the morning." The same voice from earlier said as the light died down.
To Be Continued...
