The girls headed back to their room with Rumiru and the Louises began to prepare for bed. They stripped in plain sight.
"Stop! What are you girls doing?!"
"Hmm? I don't see an issue here, you are a familiar, someone who is lower than a dog. She is essentially me so there is no problem in seeing my own body."
"Lower than a dog…"
"Also, from now on you will address us as master, anything else will be disrespectful!"
"So what you are saying is… You're an sadist?"
"Grr…"
A few moments later, an explosion larger than anything Louise had ever casted before blew up in the face of a certain summoned boy. This was shortly followed by a loud scolding from two similar voices.
"Insolent dog! How dare you talk about your master that way! I'll have to severely discipline you for that!"
The two Louises tried to grab the riding crop in the desk but since there was only one, the other Louise went for the whip Eleonore had given her. Afraid of what would happen if he didn't do anything, Rumiru grabbed the wand the Louise with the whip discarded and aimed it at them.
"Explosion!"
At first it seemed like nothing had happened, but in a few moments, the mountain that could be seen outside Louise's window was engulfed in a white orb of light before the orb suddenly shrunk, compressing all the matter within it. In a large burst, the energy contained was released and the mountain was replaced with a huge crater and the surrounding landscape was torn to shreds.
Both Louises heard the explosion and immediately turned around, only to see a rock rocketed by the explosion fly straight through their window and embed itself into the wall. The projectile had marginally passed between the two and they were wide jawed when they saw what had occurred. The aftermath of the explosion was shocking. The looked back at the boy and dropped their weapons, immediately going for the wand in his hand to prevent another explosion.
"Hand it over Rumiru! We can't risk you doing whatever that was again!"
After a long struggle and assurance that he would remained unharmed, the wand found its way back into one of the Louise's hands.
"So now Rumiru, explain yourself! How did you cast that spell?!"
"I don't know! I just didn't want to get hurt!"
"Wait, that means you're a mage… Meaning you're a noble…"
Louise's face turned red as she saw the full picture.
'How embarrassing, I just revealed myself to him thinking he was just a commoner! How will I ever show my face in public again! He's also a noble, meaning I kidnapped him and caused him to have amnesia! I hope he doesn't make this into a case!'
Smashing a few items in her room into pieces, the Louises finally calmed down slightly while a terrified Rumiru watched the chaos happen.
'Wait, if he has the same problem as me, then there must be some kind of link! Besides, he probably doesn't realize what being able to use magic means yet so I'm still safe.'
"You!"
"Yes!"
"Cast a spell again, use my wand."
"Okay…"
"Try to make a ball of fire!"
"Sure… Fireball?"
An explosion rang out again, albeit softer than the first but in the faces of the three people this time. The soot covered Louises looked at the strange summoned boy with a serious look in their eyes.
"So Rumiru, I'm going to need you to get your memories back now so I can use you to fix my magic. If not I am going to have to punish you!"
"Please don't masters! I'll try and remember as soon as I can but please don't hurt me!"
"Hmm…"
Both Louises looked at each other.
"Well, it is partly our fault, why not let him off for now?"
"I see your point, but I don't want to suffer any more than I have to…"
"True, I bet the first thing that'll happen when we mess up is that Zerbst will make some joke about the two of us."
"That Zerbst just pisses me off, whatever, I'll deal with her eventually as long as I'm a Vallière!"
"There are two of us now, so we should be able to handle her."
"Good point, that settles it then, we let Rumiru off for now and vent our frustration on Kirche!"
The two turned to the confused boy.
"Listen here familiar, you should be grateful. We have decided to let you off, but you should promptly remember anything you can as soon as possible."
"Thank you!"
"Now we are going to head to class tomorrow and you can go familiarize yourself with the academy's layout so you can serve us better! You also aren't allowed to cast any spells!"
"Yes masters."
"You will sleep on that pile of hay while we sleep on the bed. Wake us up at dawn."
"Okay."
The occupants of the room slept and the next day came.
As ordered, Rumiru woke the two up at dawn and proceeded to the explore the academy in search of the kitchen to get some food. The two girls headed to their classes after freshening up and prepared for the abuse she would receive. It was the day of water and so lessons would be on Magic Theory. In the hours that passed, Louise sat there bored out of her mind.
She had already learned this on her own after hours of scouring the library and reading any book about magic which could have even a remote chance to help hers. She had also studied up on Magic Theory until the level of third years in order to ace her written exam. She barely made it through to the second year with a hundred for the written and zero for the practical.
Eventually the teacher noticed her not paying attention and ordered her to demonstrate the mechanics behind a basic fire spell. The teacher was a new professor who had recently graduated from the same institute Louise's older sister, Eleonore, studied at. Hence, he did not know a thing about Louise's explosive tendacies, he was only informed of her strange summoning circumstances.
Two quick explosions later, the man was flying out the window covered in soot and the entire class stood up from behind their tables. Everyone looked in awe at the damage two Louise's had managed to cause. Kirch was the first to speak, immediately going next to the Zero in order to further belittle her as the tall woman towered over her.
"As expected Zero you never fail to deliver even when there's two of you. Then again, two times zero is still zero."
The class burst burst out laughing at the joke made by Kirche.
"Enough Zerbst! We challenge you to a duel!"
"A duel? On academy grounds? Zero Louise, don't you know duels between nobles are prohibited?"
"You don't consider me a noble anyway so you should be fine with it!"
"Alright Zero, I'll humor you just this once. So, when and where will we duel?"
"At Vestri Court in an hour!"
"Alright, that'll give me time to prepare some water mages for when you both get beat up then."
"You'll be the one who's going to need healing Kirche!"
"Whatever you say Louise…"
With that, Kirche left the room and the two Louises prepared for the duel, knowing now how powerful they could actually get based on Rumiru's cast.
A/N: With that the chapter is done and now I will cycle to another story before coming back, in related news I was really interested in Yu Gi Oh for the past month or so until my computer up and broke on me again so I'm back to writing and I apologise if anyone was left hanging for too long but I will not stop writing unless I announce it or die in an accident so don't worry too much. As always, review, favourite and follow if you've enjoyed. Don't forget to check out my other stories and poll as well.
