Guess who's back. IT'S ME GUYS! I am ready to return to you fine people. To return what's rightfully mine. And yes, I know that doesn't make sense.
Before I begin again, thank you new follower! You made my day along with everyone else! This is easily my most popular story by far. It has got so much popularity than I ever thought it would, so thank you all! By the way, my main story, The Zengaria, doesn't count since it has been out for a year and a half.
With all that out of the way, onto the story! (And this is officially edited!)
Chapter 4: A Trip To Town
"Is this all you've got?" Yuudai asks maneuvering through the six Valkyries trying to attack him. Ever since he had grabbed hold of the gun and absorbed the first valkyrie he has been impossible to hit. He jumps back a ways. "I'll give you a free shot!"
Three of the six rush over to him then each throw a fist towards his face, gut and groin. Seeing the one going for his groin, he shoots a blue energy bullet through its head absorbing the valkyrie. The other two connect their fist with their targets sending him a few feet away onto the ground getting a cheer and boo from the large crowd.
"Yuudai!" Siesta yells choking up with forming tears.
"I think it's you that needs to pray to Brimier that I don't kill you! Of course if you apologize and explain to the two ladies that this was a ruse to rile them up then I might have half the mind to forgive you." Guiche offers arrogantly.
A little giggle starts from Yuudai's mouth at first. To everybody's surprise, Yuudai starts to get up while his giggle evolves into a full blown laugh. By the time he is standing up all the way, he is laughing so much that people are wondering if he has broken or if he's gone crazy.
He finally calms down landing a stare on Guiche. "I guess I am sorry." He says giving a look of amusement to Guiche. "I am sorry for not taking you seriously!" Yuudai gets serious. "Now I am going to teach you a lesson you won't soon forget."
Yuudai watches one valkyrie dash towards him, but Yuudai side steps the fist. He switches his gun to his left hand and throws a punch straight at its head sending the bronze head flying. It lands in the crowd that is staring in awe. The valkyrie proceeds it disintegration after his punch.
Yuudai looks to the other five motionless valkyrie with the look of a predator in his brown eyes. He dashes straight for the next one and punches it in the gut so hard that his fist makes a hole through its body. Yuudai waits patiently as it's fades away in tiny particles. He pulls back his fist.
"I don't care if you die now! I refuse to lose to a commoner!" Guiche exclaims using his magic again. Yuudai watches as the four valkyrie now have swords. Yuudai trades the gun to his right hand.
"Sorry to disappoint you blondy." Yuudai replies catching a sword coming at him with his left hand. He points the gun at the wielder's head. "But I don't plan on losing."
Yuudai pulls the trigger blasting a hole in its head. Having the energy absorbed, he runs to the next enemy. Yuudai then front flips and slams his foot onto its head. The force is so powerful that it makes a small crater in the ground. Leaving nothing left of it, he shoots two more of the valkyrie destroying them.
"Looks like there is only one left. Time to die valkyrie." Yuudai proceeds to run over to it. However, he stops right in front of it. He raises his right foot. "One kick is all I need." He slams his foot into the valkyrie sending it flying into Guiche. The two crash onto the ground with the summoned beast disappearing. Yuudai slowly walks to the blond sending a chill down Guiche's spine. Yuudai glares daggers at the blond before stopping in front of the poor teen. "Your turn punk."
The brown haired teen pulls back his left fist. Guiche summons every last bit of courage he can. "You wouldn't dare to hit a noble!" Wrong move.
Yuudai throws the fist. But just before he connects his fist to Guiche's chest he says something. "Do yourself a favor and don't get back up." He finally hits his chest. This sends Guiche a few yards away with a few broken bones and no breath. Yuudai looks at his fist. "Why did I hold back?" He asks himself. He makes the gun disappear as the crowd cheers. Along with the gun, his absorbed power and power up disappear too. And the hand that caught the sword starts to bleed.
"Yuudai!" Siesta and Louise cry out as his vision blurs and he falls.
Just before falling unconscious, he smirks. "It's only a scratch." With that, he falls flat on his back.
One Day Later
"Please wake up Yuudai…please." Siesta begs alone in the hospital room with him.
As soon as they got him to the room a day ago, they had diagnosed him with having too much stress for his body to handle all at once. They didn't know when he will wake up. They could only say it'll be within the coming days.
"Yuudai…why am I so attached to you?" She ask her motionless friend.
The door opens to Louise walking in. "Is he awake yet?" Louise questions with regret in her voice. Siesta merely shakes her head.
"This is all my fault…" Louise admits sadly. "If I would have been more persistent then he wouldn't have been sent here."
A pain filled cough erupts from the human familiar startling the two girls. He starts to mutter things, but are unable to hear. The close in on him to listen.
"Hey Mom...can I have a Mountain Dew?" He mutters in his sleep. "So what if it isn't a healthy drink? I am thirsty!" The two girls stare at him curious.
"What is a Mountain Dew?" Louise asks the maid.
"I have no idea Lady Vallière." She replies respectful of the noble. She doesn't consider her bad since she is worrying for her familiar.
Yuudai shoots up from the medical bed with a terrified look. He looks around and puts his head in his hands. "I can't believe it. My mom's face…I don't remember her face. I can barely remember the magical soda (pun intended). It's like I am losing my memories I spent my life creating." He gets up walking to the wall. The two girls want to help, but they can't bring themselves to stop him. Yuudai stops in front of the wall. "No use in crying about it…I will just make new memories then." He turns to the two girls. "I am hungry and thirsty. Anything to help with that?"
Louise's hair shades over face. "After all that and all you can think of is food?" She questions trembling.
"To be perfectly honest, yeah. I only had a couple pancakes and grape juice." He says totally ignoring her trembling.
"I remember telling you no food for a week." She tells him.
Yuudai puts his hand under his chin. "Must've forgot."
"And you pushed me." Siesta walks out the door feeling like the two need their time now.
Yuudai takes up a serious pose. "Sorry for pushing you Blanc." Louise stops trembling. "The reason I pushed you might not be good, but I don't like it when people drag me into their problems and then someone else tries to control me."
Louise is blushing from under her hair. She turns her head to the side. "I guess I will forgive you for pushing your master. Don't let it happen again."
Yuudai gives a wide smile. "Enough of this serious crap though. Let's get some food!"
"Not until you answer what exactly happened at the duel. What were you using?" She questions placing her hands on her hips.
"A gun obviously. Although I never seen anything like it since there is a firearm ban where I come from." He replies.
"I haven't seen a gun like that before. What model could it be?" She questions again.
"Nevermind that Blanc. Why don't we get some fresh air and something in our stomach? Preferably food." He says walking towards the door.
"Can you shut up about the food?! Plus I still am going to punish you for getting in a fight with a nobel!" She tells him.
"Why couldn't this happen to some other idiot?" Yuudai mutters.
Back in Japan
"Achoo!" Saito rubs his nose with a tissue. "That's weird." He checks his emails again. "Why can't I find a girlfriend?!"
Some time later with Princess of Tristain
"Tell me, do you know where Fouquet the Crumbling Dirt is?" A young princess asks.
"Sorry your majesty, but we have not found her since her last theft."
She scratches her head. "This is so troublesome. Be prepared for anything."
"Of course, your majesty." The guard replies.
Tristain Academy the Next Day
"Tell me again why I need a sword." Yuudai questions while getting ready a horse.
"Because I don't trust your little power." She replies getting on her horse.
"Fair enough." He says getting on his horse. "How far is this town of yours?"
She looks towards her familiar. "About three hours by horse."
Yuudai sighs. "Might as well get moving then. I'd rather get this over quickly."
"What do you have going on that we need to be quick?" Louise asks starting their long ride to town.
"I'll have you know that I have an appointment with anyone but you and I absolutely can't miss it." He says following after her on his own horse.
Louise smirks devilishly. "I think I know your new punishment."
A shiver runs down Yuudai's back. "I don't think I like it at all."
"You will run around the academy until dusk when we get back!" She announces happily.
Yuudai's eyes widen to saucer plates. "What the hell did I do to deserve that?!" He yells freaking out.
"It is for everything you have done without my consent. And to be fair, I am letting you off easy if you ask me." She explains arrogance dripping from her tone.
"Letting me off easy?! Bull crap! Letting me off easy is giving me some Daifuku, Ramune and a day off!" He exclaims.
She gives him a deadpan look. "I have no idea what first two things are and there will not be a day off!"
Three hours later
The two teens are now walking through an alleyway. They have been wandering for a few minutes now and the both of them are tired. Yuudai looks around once again grinning.
"Exactly like a video game or anime." Yuudai says to himself.
"I swear to Brimier that if you say one more thing like that like it is a thing then I will make you run back!" Louise growls not in the mood to deal with her familiar's antics.
Yuudai rolls his eyes losing the energetic mood he was just in. "Fine, but you really need to hurry up and find that stupid store."
"I'm trying!" She replies unhappily.
Yuudai lets out a sigh and then spots a sign that indicates a weapon shop. "Hey Blanc."
"WHAT?!" She yells.
Yuudai pretends to be offended. "How could you be so mean to me? I'm just trying to tell you I found the shop, but I guess you don't want to know." He says adding a faked tear to it.
"Oh shut up you idiot familiar and come on." She says walking in.
Yuudai nods while following her in. Once they walk into the store they know, well Yuudai knows, this guy sells an unfair priced collection of weapons. Why? Too much video games from years past and to much anime from current time. The man at the front looks at them and frowns. Looks like this guy knows a noble when he sees one. Doesn't seem to like them either. After looking Louise over he looks at Yuudai observing his black clothes and hair.
He forces a fake smile. "Welcome to my shop, how may I help you?" He asks faking a sweet voice.
"You can stop acting all sweet for starters." Yuudai mutters. Louise elbows him in the chest knocking some air out of him.
"I want your best sword." Louise demands. Yuudai and the shop owner stare at the pathetic noble for a minute.
"I'll see what I have in the back." He replies dropping his smile once his back is turned.
Once the owner is out of sight Yuudai stares at his master. "Your social skills suck." He states bluntly.
"They do not!" She snaps back. "I just don't see the need to be nice to a commoner."
The black haired boy sighs. "Learn to be civilized with the "commoners" as you so call them, and they won't screw with you. Trust me, much easier deal with." He explains as the man comes out from the back room carrying a bright golden sword with jewels on it. Yuudai's eyes widen. "Such a amazing wall mantel." He mutters drooling.
The man smirks. "This is a famous sword made by-"
"Like I said. A wall mantel." Yuudai interrupts stopping his drooling. "How much would it be if we were to buy it?"
"About ten thousand gold."
"Bull crap!" Louise and Yuudai both say out loud.
"That sword better be able cut through anything!" Yuudai continues furiously.
"The kid may have the wrong idea, but at least the brat knows a rip off when he hears one." A strange voice say laughing.
Louise and Yuudai quickly look around the seemingly empty shop. "Oh shut up you stupid sword!" The owner yells growing a tick mark.
Yuudai walks to the barrel the voice came from. He looks in to see a rusty sword. "So rusty here is a talking sword?"
"What did you call me?!" The sword yells offended by him.
"Unfortunately. He has been running customers out of my store and I am tired of it! I am willing to sell that thing for only a hundred gold!"
Yuudai slowly turns to the strangely quiet Louise. "Get me this one Blanc. This is cheap and cool." He says sternly.
She nods reluctant about this. "Fine, but you better learn to use it."
"You cool with this rusty?" Yuudai questions the sentient sword.
"My name is Derflinger!" It exclaims.
"Derf is ok with this." Yuudai says. Louise pays the man the hundred gold and the two leave. The two walk in silence until they reach the horses and saddle up. "Tell me Blanc, why didn't you speak up at the shop?"
She looks toward him and his new sword. "Because I thought that you would know commoners more since you said I should learn to talk to them to get to know them. I don't need to do that and you already seem to know, so I thought that you can do it on your own."
"Lazy." He mutters.
Later at the Academy
Yuudai smirks while leaning against a wall with his new sword. "All I gotta do now is wait."
"You seem really lazy brat." Derflinger states.
"Would you want to run around this ridiculously large castle until dusk?" Yuudai asks.
"No!"
"Exactly." He says still smirking and watching the sun set. "I gotta admit. This sunset is pretty nice."
