Chapter 3 : Conflict And Plotting
Midnight , Shalltear is walking around the whole courtyard. She was dismissed by her mistress but she was ordered not to hurt any creatures inside the academy.
Though her master tried her best to hide it , She can clearly see the sadness and dissatisfaction on her expression. She was hurt when she saw it and she is now thinking what can she do to brighten her master's mood.
"I can't kill people or any animal and I didn't have any skill that would make her happy" She muttered audibly while walking aimlessly. "What should I do!?" She said with a slight high pitched tone as she hold her head with her hands.
First of all , She is a pure frontliner NPC , Making it impossible for her to have any miscellaneous magic or skills that would entertain her master. Second , Her master is a human and she didn't like ruling the other humans with fear.
That makes it hard for Shalltear. There is nothing else special about her rather than using her abilities to obliterate the enemies.
"I can't just stand here! , I must do something" She said as she stomp her foot on the ground.
Well , The stomp did quite a great amount of destruction to the ground. It was destroyed like it was the ground zero of a small-scale explosion.
She thought of using [Charm] but she can't , It has a limited amount of time before it wears off.
She needs to think of other plans without harming anyone else. Somehow , She felt her blood is boiling.
"Aaaah! , Why can't I think of anything!" She yelled out loud , Making some birds near her fly out in fear. 'If Demiurge is here , I can ask for his advice!' She thought before frowning dejectedly.
She was the strongest guardian but she lacks something ... It was known as 'Intellect' and 'Wits'. She was made for the sole purpose of dwindling the numbers of the intruders and there is no intellectual part on her traits.
In short , She is some sort of an airhead. Her main purpose is to obliterate , Not to make some flashy things.
Suddenly , She felt someone is peeking her so she immediately turn around. "Who is there!?" She shouted with a threatening voice.
The mysterious person goes "Eeeep!" in a high pitched tone and base on the voice , She might be a female.
Shalltear rushed through there and immediately turn towards the wall where she felt that eavesdropper.
She saw a human with black hair and black eyes and she is wearing a blue dress for maid servants.
She immediately grab her neck with one hand and slam her to the wall behind her. Well , She didn't slam her but it looks like she did it because of the strength of her arm and she didn't even tighten her grip at her neck ... Just the right amount of strength to not accidentally kill the human.
"Who are you?" The vampire asks dangerously with her eyes glowing crimson.
"Ack ... I-Im sorry , I-It won't h-happen next t-time ..." She answered as she tried to take her hand off.
She took off her grip before looking at her eyes like she is looking at a bug. "Begone" She said , Which made the coughing maid immediately ran away.
Shalltear frowned as she look at the retreating back of the maid. "What is wrong with this ... Humans?" She asks to no one with a confuse look.
Morning , Louise woke up and did the things she always do everyday before going out of her room.
After dressing herself , She goes out of her room and walk towards her room. The walk was uneventful except the look of her classmates which is terrified and frightened.
She just walk towards the classroom and sits on the chair she is always sitting. She look at her surroundings and saw that all of her classmates are averting their gaze at her.
They notice that the pinkette's familiar is absent but they won't take any chances. They already knew how dangerous is her familiar. She might be somewhere near the classroom. That's why , They won't say or do anything bad and will just avoid contact with the Valliere.
Louise felt she was forgetting something. She tried to remember what and then remembered that she forgot about her familiar.
'Oh right! , I let her go yesterday!' She thought with a restless expression. 'I should call her' She thought before speaking her name but she remembered , She didn't know her name.
The teacher is coming and Louise was nervous , What would happen. Well , She told her not to harm any living creatures inside the academy so maybe nothing bad happened.
She shakes her head before focusing on the class. The teacher came to the room and the class starts.
'And I think it would be a bad idea if I call her in the middle of the class' She thought while looking at the class.
After the class , Louise walk out of the school with a dejected look. During the class , She was not mentioned nor called by the teacher or even the students. Some are just glancing at her but no more than that.
'Even the teacher are scared of me' She thought with a depressed expression. Her head lowered as she was walking towards the courtyard.
"Louise-sama ~" She said sweetly as she approached the girl before kneeling besides her.
Louise notice her and immediately stops at her track before looking at her. "Oh it was you ..." She said before she lowered her head again.
The vampire panic. "Louise-sama! , Please don't lower your head!" She said as she wave her hand frantically.
Louise didn't respond and just walk to the girl's dorm. The vampire followed her.
"What is wrong Louise-sama?" She asked with a concerned tone. 'What did those freaks do again!?' She thought in malice , Unconsciously emitting an intimidating aura towards the whole place.
The students who are on the distance shivered and go away to another place. Louise just didn't care , She was in no mood to be scared now. Well , She felt it and felt fear a little bit but she knew who was emitting it so she just let her.
She didn't respond and just walk towards the dorm.
On the pinkette's room , Louise sits on the bed while the vampire just stand in her front after closing the door.
"Hey ..." Louise look at her with a depressed look before continuing "... What is your name?" She asks.
Shalltear widened her eyes and frown a little though she is not angry , Just sad that her master didn't know her name. Still , She bow at her gracefully without showing her emotion.
"I am Shalltear Bloodfallen , The Floor Guardian of First , Second , and Third Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick" She said with a smile but there is still a hint of depression on her face if one look at her carefully.
Louise frowned , She didn't know what kind of place is she talking about. 'What tomb? , As in tomb for the dead?' She thought and nearly speak it but she didn't , She didn't want to offend her familiar because there might be a chance that she killed her if she insulted her.
"Then wh-" Louise was interrupted by a loud bang , She wanted to ask why she is so loyal to her that any kind of disrespect shown to her will be quickly tolerated.
The loud bang came from her window and Louise can't help but close her eyes at the strong gust of wind coming through her room.
Shalltear immediately move towards her master and grab her before casting a spell.
"[Greater Teleportation]" She casts and both of them are immediately gone.
Karin saw her daughter talking to a monster in disguise. When she use a wind spell to see from a far distance , She immediately felt the intense aura of darkness surrounding the girl.
That's why , She rushed towards the window and cast a strong gust of wind towards the window without any hesitation. She made sure that she won't kill her daughter inside there and will only blow the devil incarnate inside the room.
Loud bang echoed through the whole place and some students immediately ran away at the site.
The whole room became a mess with that simple spell. The table became upside down , The drawers and the cabinet are opened with clothes and other things sprawled all over the floor , and There are a lot of broken glass in the whole room.
The only thing that is missing is her daughter and the blasphemy that is talking to her.
Then she felt it , The strong intimidating aura on her back. Before she could look at her back , She felt something push her whole body like she was hit by some invisible force.
She immediately recovered her stance just before she hits the wall and she glared at the window on her front.
Outside the window is a silver haired beauty with blood red dress and her daughter who was being carried by the vampire , Bridal style.
She saw a full clad armored person with a black cape and it's gender is unknown. She was ordered not to harm anyone inside the academy and this person clad in a knight's armor is clearly not from the academy , That much is certain.
'This means , I can kill her' She thought before looking dangerously at the armored person.
"Louise-sama , Let me handle this" She said before putting Louise on the floor and immediately disappeared on her sight.
Louise was dumbfounded. 'What is happening?' She thought before looking at the direction where her room can be seen.
She widened her eyes at the spectacle.
From there is a person clad in a knight's armor and was wearing a black cape. She widened her eyes when she recognize the person inside that armor.
"Mother ..." She said with a bewildered look.
Karin was known as the strongest magician in the whole of Tristain and possibly , In all of Halkeginia. That was an undeniable fact. She was greater both in strength and her speed. No mages can ever defeat her or it might be possible to say that she can defeat even an elf.
But this thing here is more different than what she fought in her lifetime. For all of the beast she defeated and killed , The creature that she is now engaging in a fight is more greater than her own prowess.
She knew because while she was casting wind spells to make herself faster , The vampire appeared besides her like she was there for the whole time.
A quick swing of her claw-like hand and she would be decapitated by the sheer force. Karin's instinct told that so she immediately move her body out of her while still chanting the words to make herself faster.
Naturally , She didn't finish her chant and just let it as it is. She can have her desired effect even if she didn't finish her chant.
She felt her body became more lighter. She focused on the enemy on her front and think of some strategies to kill the monster that is bewitching her daughter.
Shalltear on the other hand , Just lunge through her like a bullet. She won't let the woman get away with her.
Karin immediately rushed towards the window to take her daughter and get her out of this mess but the vampire sense it and immediately disappeared and reappeared in front of her with a hand raise.
The former soldier immediately casts a "Air Hammer" spell to her stomach but it was ineffective so she only needs to dodge the claw of the dangerous beast.
She tried to scratch her but because of the agile speed and athletic ability of the soldier , She narrowly dodge it by an inch.
Karin jump back before the vampire could strike her directly and she immediately whistled very loudly , Calling her familiar that is waiting on the skies.
The Manticore is scared but it needs to help it's master so it did what it thought to be the best possible action ... Ram the enemy and take the soldier out of the dangerous area.
But that was the wrong approach to make for the Strongest Guardian of Nazarick.
She sense the Manticore and immediately equip her weapon that came from the void. The weapon is known as [Spuit Lance].
She swing it to the approaching Manticore before a sound of a flesh being cut can be heard.
Both of it's wings has been cut cleanly before it fell to the ground. Still , Karin just used it as a diversion to take her focus out of her and use one of her strong spell to her.
She didn't hesitated even if her daughter is on the monster's side.
"Wind Gust" She yelled and before a very strong gust of wind smack through the whole room.
Shalltear was in no real danger but her master is the one who is in danger. The first thing she needs to do is take her master out of here and take her to somewhere safe.
Louise was still dumbfounded. 'Why mother is attacking all of a sudden?' is her thought as she was looking at the battle with fear. Her familiar might be scary but for her , Her mother is the most scariest person in the whole world. That's why she was stupefied of the events happening right now. She is scared that her familiar might kill her mother but she is also scared that her mother might kill her familiar. She didn't know what is the true potential of her familiar so she just stay there , Looking at the dangerous battle that is happening in front of her.
The vampire immediately carried her and use the [Greater Teleportation] to get out of the place immediately.
They came to the courtyard. Shalltear immediately put Louise besides the wall from the distance before engaging the enemy once again.
That's when Louise came back to her senses. "Shalltear! , Don't kill my mother!" She said with a frightened and concerned look as she hold the vampire's hand.
The vampire stopped and was shocked when she heard it. "Mother?" She said with a bewildered expression.
Louise nodded a little with some tears falling through her eyes.
But before anything happened , She sense something dangerous coming towards the pinkette so she immediately pushed her out of the place and smash the incoming strike with her lance.
The strike is a strong wind magic that will blow the target out of the area in a far distance.
Shalltear glared on the distance and saw the pinkette's mother clad in a knight's armor.
Karin didn't waste any time and immediately casts her strongest spell. The atmosphere around the whole academy distorted and all of the air are concentrating to a place where Shalltear is standing.
"Heavy Wind" She roared and finished the chant.
The effects are mind blowing. A very large tornado that can be comparable to a catastrophic storm has appeared suddenly on the vampire's place. Not just that , There are hundreds to thousands of invisible wind slashes spraying the whole area.
Karin won't take any chances , Even if her daughter was gravely injured at her spell. Her only mission now is to kill the monster and save the whole Halkeginia.
But all of this wind was ... not that impressive.
The strongest wind spell in the whole Halkeginia was only comparable to a 5th tier magic or possibly 6th tier magic.
And Shalltear is already Level 100 so things like this is like a child's play. But she was angry.
She was angry because her master will be caught at the insane destruction of this storm.
So the only thing that came to her mind is to ... Protect her master and silence the woman.
She kicked the ground and blocked the blades that are coming towards the pinkette. She form a spear of light on her free hand and prepare it to throw towards the woman. Somehow , Her left hand where she is carrying the light spear glowed brightly like it was competing with the brightness of the sun.
"[Divine Spear]" She casts before stretching her arms , Throwing the spear towards the woman clad in armor.
Louise saw it but before she could stop her familiar , She already thrown it.
The spear instantly hit the stomach of her mother and the storm dissipated because her mental focus was broken.
'What is happening?' The former Manticore Knights Leader thought in surprised before she fell to the ground. 'I can't give up' She thought as she tried to move her body.
She lost consciousness ...
"Stop it!" Louise yelled when she saw her familiar is approaching the woman who has a large hole on her stomach.
"Louise-sama! , She i-"
"She is my mother!" She yelled before running towards her mother and hugging her unconscious body.
Her mother is still alive but she was in a critical condition because of the fatal damage. Some of her intestines can be seen on the outside and blood pour through the ground like a gush of water.
The vampire frowned but she won't argue with her master , It would be disrespectful.
The whole academy is in a mess , Mostly the courtyard where the storm happened. The students and teachers ran away to the safest spot while the servants hides on their quarters. Only some teachers like Colbert saw the whole battle in the distance with the use of the [Scrying Mirror].
"She ... is still alive!? ..." Colbert said in shocked when he saw the vampire with a weird looking dark lance on her hand.
He saw that she took almost all of the impact but she was there standing , Without a scrape or bruise. Her dress is clean like nothing happened at all.
"Now you see" The principal just said nonchalantly like he was not affected at all.
Colbert glared at the old man angrily. "What 'Now you see'!? , This is no joking matter!" He snarled while gazing at the old man with fiery rage eyes.
"I know , That's why we won't touch her" The old man said before pointing his finger on the vampire. "Didn't you notice how protective she is on the Valliere" He said before looking at the balding professor.
Colbert was silenced. He noticed but he didn't want to admit it because she was too aggressive towards anyone. He was cautious ever since the contract to her was finished.
"Let's just hope the Valliere won't despise us" Osmond said while looking seriously at the mirror.
Longueville saw all of it , She saw how terrifying is the girl. She also saw how loyal she is on the pinkette because any word she said will be accepted immediately.
Instead of being scared , She smiled. 'Well , Loyal freaks can be easily manipulated if their master are brainwashed' She said before looking at the pinkette. 'And she can be easily manipulated' She said with a sneer.
But she didn't saw on her back that there is a bat made of stone looking at the scenery where she is looking.

A/N
And yet , another chapter full of OOC scenes. I can't help it , Shalltear can't bring her flirtatious character because this thing happened and that thing happened. It was unnecessary on each scene and I can't insert it.
While im reading this , I go "What the heck! , Where is Shalltear on this part!?" or sometimes "Is this really Shalltear!?". I wanted to smack the writer when im reading this when I remembered I AM THE WRITER _
So to those who might asks what happened , Well ... I don't know. What I know is that "Battle commence then people plotting" Then I let my mind did the rest.
To those who are confused how her runes activated when she grip the light spear ... Well ... That's me making things up again. Why? , Because it was a weapon right? ... It can deal Light and PHYSICAL damage which means it was a weapon because physical damage is there xD (Hope you like it?)
Also , Shalltear didn't have any anti-divination spell or protection and (I think) It was not mentioned on the LN that she can detect someone that can scry her. So yeah , That's the only explanation I have ^^""
Osmond here is too OOC. But that's how I see him because he was old and he was emitting this "I know it" atmosphere whenever I see him or read about him. So yeah ... Hope you like it?
Now that the plot came to the mysterious path , We are now going to a route where things won't happen the same as the anime or the LN.
Also , It might be long but I really assure you that Shalltear will changed Louise values one-by-one. Naturally , I got it planned and I already did it on this chapter.
I might be inactive for some days or weeks or maybe months because there are problems on my real life (Well , Minor problems that became major because of how many it is)
Now if you hate this , Then you can turn back but if you still wanted to read this even though you hate this then just keep your hate comments.
