Chapter 2
The Soot Settles
Pain.
That was what Flamma felt flaring from the back of her hand and lancing all the way up to her elbow, the burning sensation being beneath her skin.
"Gah!" She almost screamed in pain as the stinging throbbed violently on her hand, surprised that said scream only came out as an agonized hiss. And in a sudden instant, all of the pain on her left hand disappeared, making the rednette familiar inhale and exhale sharply.
The bell signifying the start of the next class has begun to sound out, its pleasant chime gently rippling in the air. "Students, all of you please go to your next class!" Professor Colbert would remind everyone in the field as he turned to the rest of the students, prompting them to turn to the academy and head back.
Meanwhile, Flamma would exhale sharply as she stood up shakiky, before inhaling and exhaling deeply to calm her beating heart. "Damn, does getting a familiar binding rune really that painful nowadays!?" She would complain in her thoughts, her feet getting steadier beneath herself.
The man would then call out to Louise. "Miss Valliere, congratulations on summoning a familiar, I hope you succeed in your future spells!" "Thanks, professor! Flamma, don't do anything stupid, you commoner!" The mage would glare slightly at the rednette, the latter just boredly staring back.
Colbert would sigh. "Children, they still think and act quite immaturely given their age." The professor thought with a sigh before turning to Flamma. "Miss Aeterna Flamma."
"Yeah? Well, I usually go with Flamma. Anyway, what is it?" The rednette would look back at him, one of her brows raised. He would walk up to her and gently grasp her left hand, raising it slightly to inspect the runes on her hand. ". . . Peculiar." The man would remark with calm curiosity as he let go of her hand before stepping back.
"Anyway, your master won't be back until two hours later, which is the time classes end for today. Maybe you can get decent clothing while the academy halls are barren? We really discourage exhibitionism in this school so-"
"Does this academy have job positions for maids?" Flamma would cut off Colbert, taking him by surprise. "I'm sorry, what?" "Well, I do know about cooking, I can clean floors, serve food. Besides, I receive maid attire for free when I take the position, yeah?" The teacher would glance upwards to the sky in thought for a moment before answering.
"Well, we recently had a few maids that got fed up with our students and resigned, so that is fair enough." "Let me guess, the students are bratty fucktards?" Colbert would wince slightly at the dirty wordings that came out the rednette's mouth. "Your words are crass, but that's how I'd describe most of them. Also, please minimize your foul language, this is also because we are in a learning environment."
"Hm, okay then. Tell the headmaster of the academy he's got a staff application coming up, just gonna go ahead and find the staff rooms, avoid being seen in my lingerie and memorize the layout of the school while I'm at it. See ya, sir!" Flamma would give the man an informal two-finger salute, winking with a small smile as she backpedalled.
Colbert would smile lightly as he closed his eyes, before reopening them to gaze over the familiar's retreating form in the distance. "Miss Valliere sure did summon an interesting familiar. She really is just like her mother." The professor would state to himself as he snapped his fingers and started to levitate, then floating in a calm and breezy pace towards the academy after the rednette.
Flamma would spend the next thirty minutes getting lost between the school's towers and another thirty minutes getting lost in the the central building, all while dodging any detection by students, maids, and teachers alike.
The rednette would then find the staff quarters when she noticed a pair of doors that some maids go back and forth into, which she would soundlessly infiltrate when she made sure nobody was around seeing her and/or was in the quarters. Flamma took a left on the hall perpendicular to the main doors, and she would notice a door at the far and of the hall left ajar. She would quietly pace to the room posthaste and shut the door behind her as equally quiet.
One thing the rednette noticed was that the room was spick and span. The sheets of the bed were creaseless, the pillows and the mattress weren't flattened in the slightest, the closet was ajar and completely barren save for a few hangers with maid outfits on them, and below the uniforms were boots with black pantyhoses hanging out of them. "Perfect, just what I need."
Flamma would walk over and take one of the hangers, gently removing the attire on it. She would then put on the uniform, and take a moment to assess how it fits. "The bust area is saggy but very full when I wear it, given this was made for sizes a cup or four smaller than mine. Pretty tight on my tits, but this is better than walking in nothing more than lingerie, I guess." The rednette would shrug before take a pair of boots and one of the pantyhoses, putting them on immediately.
She would then pace to the mirror at the other wall, looking over herself. Flamma's red hair was illuminated by the sunlight coming from the window to her side, while her abnormally small red pupils glanced at her bust through the mirror. "My uniform hugs my breasts tightly. Looks lewd. Meh, that's how I like it anyways."
The rednette would then chuckle as she shrugged, before walking to the door exiting the room. To calm herself, she would inhale and exhale deeply, her eyes closed.
"Okay, ready to serve, I guess. . ."
Yay, I actually uploaded a new chapter in less than a week. That works I guess.
