Chapter 1: Fated Meeting
In the world of Halkegania, there was a dividing line among men, those who can use magic and those who cannot. Magic users were known as Nobles and those who cannot were called Commoners. Magic was not privilege but a birthright; those who are endowed with magic are considered masters and kings while those can't use magic were considered peons and slaves, low in the eyes of their so called Nobles
There is a tradition among the nobles to call their familiars, beasts of burden that would serve as their extension, who will do only their bidding, and the more grand the familiar the more prestige and honor their master would receive, The Familiar is not based on luck but on the based on what element they are aligned to, It would start on an Tristan Academy of Magic, where nobles were educated and taught on the art of magic…
On the Eastern Court of the Academy….
"The last one to summon her Familiar….. Ms. Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière!" a balding and a bespectacled man announced
A pink haired girl walked in the front, she was pink haired girl with a reddish-brown, she was nervous because she will summon a familiar, but there is one problem, she is crap in magic, not to mention her anything that she casts would result into an explosive spectacle, hence the nickname "The Zero"
Louise chanted the summoning spell "My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Vallière … Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers… Heed my summoning… and bring forth my familiar!"
KABOOM!
Just as everybody thought it resulted in an explosion, and when the smoked cleared… it was a human being sprawling on the ground.
"Look! Louise summoned a commoner!" one student commented.
"But what's with his clothing?"
"Yeah it doesn't look like a noble's clothes…. Does it?
Then the familiar that Louise summoned rose up and shaking his head.
"Ouch my head hurts, I don't remember being shot with a rocket…..Hey wait, why am I in a castle!" Saito then scanned his surroundings; it seems that he was in some other place, not to mention there was a crowd of people that wears cloaks and they seem to be examining him, then he noticed there was a stone castle that he only sees on the picture books. Then a pink haired girl was approaching in front of him and asked "Who are you?"
"Good God? Where the hell am I?" he thought, then he answered " I am Ge- I mean Saito, Saito Hiraga"
"Where are you from, commoner?"
"What? Commoner? What the hell do you mean? And what's with the clothes and those sticks that you are wielding? Is this some costume party or something! Saito shot back.
"Hey Louise! We expected that you will just cause some explosion or something but…. This is more hilarious that we thought!..hmhmhmHAHAHAHA! Then everyone except Louise and Saito started to laugh.
"I just made a mistake! I swear!" the girl shouted.
"Mistake! The only mistake that we expect is that you will summon a dragon or manticore!"
"Of course!, What do you expect she's Louise The Zero!" and then crowd burst into laughter again.
The girl that was checking on him was named Louise it seems.
The crowd suddenly stopped laughing and they parted making a way for a man with a big wooden staff and black robe, "He seemed to be their leader or teacher or something, but there is something about him, he was never letting his guard down…" Saito observed, and then Louise suddenly turned away from him and approached the man.
"Good timing! Mr. Colbert can I ask for something?" the pink-haired girl asked quickly
"What is it, Ms. La Vallière?"
"Can I summon a familiar again? I just got it wrong! Please!"
" I am afraid that I cannot allow that" Mr. Colbert answered.
"But why!"
"It's because it's forbidden, you performed the "Summon Servant "and I am telling you this, it's a sacred ritual, you cannot just perform it just easy as that. The familiar that you summoned is based from what element you are attuned to, and to tell you honestly I believe it's the first time that a human was summoned, but I am telling you, whatever or whoever you summon will be your familiar whether you like it or not. Springtime Summoning Ritual is a sacred tradition and I will not bend it just because your familiar didn't suit your preferences. "
Louise didn't have the chance to retort Mr. Colbert and she just dropped her shoulders in resignation to her fate.
"Summon Servant? Springtime Summoning Ritual! Hey old man! What the hell is this! A fucking joke!" Saito angrily asked, he was getting pissed because it seems that he was just treated like a post or some tree and he was getting confused from these strange events.
Mr. Colbert just ignored him and told Louise "Now could you continue with the ceremony?"
"What! With him!"
"Yes, with him" Mr. Colbert answered and added "Besides there will be another class after this, hurry up."
Louise then angrily looked at Saito, and she said "Hey, commoner"
"What?"
"You are lucky; Commoners don't get an opportunity like this"
"What the hell do you mean by that? Some Voodoo magic or something!"
"Shut up!" the Louise angrily replied and then she continued "I want to finish this as possible quit your incessant barking!" then she closed her eyes and waved her wand.
"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."
While chanting the words, she touched Saito's forehead with the tip of her wand and her lips were drawing closer…
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Cursing me or something?"
"Shut up and stay still!"
"You will…what the fuck! Isn't this a little fast! Hey!"
"You noisy… I said shut up and stay still!" then Louise grabbed his face and she kissed him in the lips.
"Mmmmmmmf!" was the only sound that Saito was able to make, then after seconds of kissing him, Louise stopped and looked him with tears on her eyes.
"It's my first kiss! So be proud, you commoner!"
"What the hell! What in the blue fuck is happening! One moment ago, I am dying from my last battle, now I am standing here in some castle, surrounded by strange people that came straight from some fantasy movie and then I was summoned from by a pink haired girl and and kissed without notice! Good God! I must be in what they call "dying dream"! Oh no, I hope this ends! "Saito thought, these events seem to be too fast even for him.
"Well this is a good start; you managed to perform the "Sealing Contract" without any problems." Mr. Colbert happily commented.
"It's because she summoned an ordinary familiar!"
"Yeah no big deal! ",
Some students still jeered at Louise, who again, was in verge of tears again.
"Poor girl, guess she's the laughing stock here, tsk tsk." Saito thought, then a hot sensation sudden came up to him with also a painful sensation in his left hand. "Argh, What the fuck is this!" Saito shouted while holding his left hand.
"Calm down, it's just the runes were being inscribed in your hand" Mr. Colbert replied.
"Runes! What the hell is that shit!"
Then the painful sensation stopped and as if there is nothing happened except there are some strange marking were written on the back of his left hand, then Colbert approached him and examined his left hand.
"Hmm…These are strange runes, interesting." Colbert remarked.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Oh nothing, it's just you have strange runes that were embedded on your hand" then Colbert turned back and announced "Everyone, let's go back to class" and he rose up in the air and everyone followed suit. Saito showed a bit surprise but it didn't last long."Whoa, they can fly? Hmm it seems that their magic was more advanced to the point they can use it in everyday life, If we could just do the same with our abilities….. " then he observed that someone was left with him on the ground.
"Hey Louise, don't try to fly, you might soar above and never come back!" one student jeered
"Don't be ridiculous; she can't even cast Levitation without blowing something up!" another commented.
Everyone laughed and they managed to go away from them.
"That's nice, they can float? You cannot see that feat every day," Saito lazily commented.
The pink haired girl that was staring her classmates while they levitate suddenly turned at him and she was really angry.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" was the first sentence that came out of her mouth.
"Hey didn't I tell ya? I am Saito Hir-"
"No, not your name! I mean where the hell did you come from? And why the hell you popped out?
"Hey missy, I don't quite get what you said, besides I think this dream would stop now and I am going to God knows where, Heaven or Hell it doesn't matter anyway"
"Why you!"
"Nah, You are too nois-" Saito was cut off from what he was saying, he fell on his one knee, Due to the events that came up to him, his body suddenly gave a strange adrenaline rush, but now it's taking toll on him.
"Hey what happened?" Lousie suddenly asked, "Hey you,what's wrong with you!...Hey!….hel…"
Her pleas of help were fading to him, as he hit on the ground, unconscious.
"Hey Saito! Guess what's the mission! We gonna kick those Stein's fuckin asses!"
"Oh that's nice, let's start a bet, who kills most would be treated for an eat all you can dinner back!"
"Fuck you Saito! Better prepare for your wallet! It's gonna take a serious beating courtesy of me!"
"Fuck you too Kenta, that's my line, well let's go!
…..
"Kenta! You asshole! Don't you dare to stall them!"
"Shut the fuck up"
*oooof*
"You are the Godsword but you are fucking noisy man." "Soldier, I command that your unit would retreat now! I would stall them until you were able to go away from here".
"Sir ,Yes Sir"
"Sorry man, this is the only thing I could do, well, tell Reiko I love her, don't worry I will gonna buy you some time. Good bye and Thank you." "Soldier, carry General Hiraga away, I will gonna give those fuckers a welcome committee…..
"!"
Saito woke up from the same dream that was haunting him again and again, then he suddenly observed that he was in a big room with furniture that could be only seen into a rich and loaded famililes.
"Good thing you woke up, now could you now please get out of the bed?" A voice commanded him, he looked at his side and he saw the same pink girl that summoned him.
"Guess that ain't a dream, or better yet I am still alive…." Saito said on his mind.
"Did you hear me or not?"
"Fine, I will get up" then he rose up and sat on the side of the bed before slowly standing up.
"I don't why did you faint earlier, but it's a good thing that a group of servants happened to pass by, they carried you to the infirmary, the doctor said it's due to extreme fatigue, and some said that you need rest, I can't believe it's already night time when you woke up, Anyway who are you? Where did you come from? "
"I told you I am from Saito Hiraga-" and he added "of the Yamato Country."
"Yamato? What is that?"
Saito was surprised, but to confirm his suspicions,"What? You don't know Yamato? How about Stein? Or Galatea, the name of this planet? "
Louise just looks at him as if he was crazy, and replied "I don't know what you are talking about! Did you hit your head back then?" the she sighed "I think I should tell you, This is the Tristain Academy of Magic, and the name of this country is the Kingdom of Tristain, and the world is called Halkeginia"as she spoke to him as if he was a child.
"Oh no…." was the words that came from Saito, then he approached the windows and looked outside, it was normal except there were two moons hanging from above.
"Crap, What in the blue fuck happened?, I was transported from some planet, no wonder many people could use magic…." He sighed and just accepted what happened.
"Hey Lou-"
"Silence commoner, you don't address your master like that,"
"Master? Hey ain't no those S&M!"
"S&M?"
"Oh fuck, I mean bondage!"
"Bondage! You stupid familiar, how dare you tell me that I perform those disgusting acts!"
"What? What do you mean by familiar? What the hell is that?"
Louise just shook her head and just sighed, and then she suddenly spoke," Well you since you are a commoner, I don't expect that you would understand these thing, well a familiar is an animal that you will summon using "Summon Servant", they serve as extension of their masters like they hear or see would be also see and hear by their master but in your case it's impossible, They could also retrieve what their master desires, like potion components or what….and most of all.."
"What?"
"The most important of all, their familiar would always protect their master in any danger that will come across!" she added.
"Uh well, ok…..so you are my Master right?" Saito sarcastically remarked.
"Yes!" the she observed Saito head to foot, "You don't seem like a strong guy to me" she remarked, "I think you are even no match for a raven"
"WHAT! You insulting me? " Saito retorted.
"Guess you could just perform menial tasks like household chores, like cleaning or laundry..."
"Look here, I survived countless battles, screwed every general of Stein, flipped a finger to Grim Reaper several times and now I am reduced to a manservant to a short, flat-chested and pink haired girl! I rather kill those fucking candy asses AGAIN! "Saito thought darkly. "This is bullshit, why don't you cast it again so I can go back!" he demanded.
"Not possible"
"What!"
"Summon Servants are only one-way ticket spells, besides you can go home on foot right?"
"Hey do you think I belong on this world? Look at my clothes!"
"I still don't believe you,"
"Or try to summon another critter to be your pet!"
"Not possible, You can only cast it again IF you die, not a bad idea if you ask me,*Yawn* Anyway this useless debate made me tired, I will go to sleep, Oh since the doctor told me you need more rest, I will be more merciful, you need to sleep, but on the floor" then Louise pointed at the floor, "I think a blanket is more than enough for you." She added.
"Why you little…."
Then she suddenly started to unbutton her blouse and started to strip.
"HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Saito yelled!
"Changing, of course"
"Can't you there is a man here?"
"I don't see a man, I see a lowly familiar in front of me"
"Let me guess, I am lower than a human being!" Saito angrily guessed, Veins are starting to pop out on his temple.
"Why yes! You saved me from explaining such useless information" Louise nonchalantly replied, and then she tossed her used articles into Saito, and added "You will wash this for me tomorrow."
"You fucking bitch….!"
"What? Who will be the one who feed and give shelter on you?"
"Rrgh…."
She continued to change her clothes and said "Anyway I will go to sleep, and wake me up in the morning, Good night" she snapped her fingers causing the lights to dim and goes to her bed, laid flat on her back, before going to sleep."
Saito just stood from his place and seems to be in thought "I admit this bitch is irritating, but to get around on this place, I need to use her, but anyway, it's fucking funny, I spend ¼ of my life to trying to kill those bastards, chasing them around and screwing them around as much as possible…but fate is a fucking asshole, it denied me of revenge that I am dreaming of….Nah screw it, there nothing I can do about it anyway."
Saito then walked into a wall, the he sits on the side, it is the same position everytime he sleeps, because he can never be sure when will someone would attack him.
"Good Night….MASTER"
