Chapter 6

"The Rock" "And yes I know the title is suckish XD"

Louise was trembling as she was next after a boy with a bug bear performed some circus tricks getting a claps and praises from the crowd.

"Next! Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière and her familiar may step up to the stage!"

Louise gulped down the rest of her pride as she will be a laughing stock after this demonstration, and then started walking up the small flight of stairs with Hart walking behind her close by. Both soon stop as they look at the crowd with Louise's legs trembling.

"Oh my she looks like she's about to faint…." Henrietta thought, thinking it was a bad idea.

"T-T-T-This is my familiar! Lord Commissar Hart Schliffe and he will demonstrate the Le-Le-Lethality of his weapons!" With these words said, Louise bows getting down the stage as Hart tips his hat lower taking out both his Power Sword and Pistol.

Several dead pigs are positioned around the stage, the crowd looks with a little disgust as the guards of Henrietta take her farther for her to escape such fowl smell but stay's there to watch up close.

Hart looks at the very first pig activating his power sword charging at it firing 2 rounds before slicing it, same goes for the second, the third is kicked in the air shot at 3 times at the center before it splits in half while slicing the 4th and 5th one and finally run to the 6th throwing the sword at it making it stick near the rear and back flipping grapping the hilt dragging it down as blood showers as he cuts it in half.

As he looks at the crowd, their faces filled with awe from the superiority of the weapons while in fear and distrust due to such act and from the corner of his eye, he could see Louise twitch with her mouth open. After looking around he holsters his weapon, bows and leaves the stage as it gets cleaned for the next performers.

Unbeknownst to others, foquet was roaming around, ready to strike the vault of the academy, holding valuable and priceless weapons, artifacts and all sorts of magical items.

"Heh, since those snobby nobles won't stand a chance now since their too busy watching those stupid kids performing, more for and my orphanage then. Im coming back little sis….."

Foquet the Crumbling Dirt or Miss longueville wasn't always known for these names. She was once a noble, in fact she came from Albion formerly known as Matilda of Sachsen-Gotha, her father was married to an elf, which in Halkagenian customs is considered heresy but none the less, her father loved her mother caringly, soon giving birth to Matilda and her other sister, which was a half elf though this did not bother as she did love her mother and sister like treasures. Her downfall was when the royal family of Albion, had their son arranged married to Matilda. She said no, so did her family. The price was her family tried for false crimes, killed along with her cousins, aunts, uncle, her loving father and mother. Though she and her sister were saved, for they were given enough time to sneak out by their families to a house in the forest which they used to visit her mother and sister, now it is there home and it was hard earning money as a commoner but she strived to work her best, even under stress from her bosses. Though it became harder when her sister, Tiffania of Sachsen-Gotha started an orphanage in their house and needed something more to provide for her and her orphans, this was the perfect time to exact her revenge on the noble's by stealing their excess riches, selling them and sending money back to Tiffania so she and her orphans can eat, sleep in good conditions.

Hart walked back to Louise after the winners were announced.

"Bronze Isn't bad, though If I had wings we would have won Gold like Tabitha."

"This is what I get for not summoning a manticore, or dragon or a gryphon. *sighs looking down*"

"You know one thing I hate complaining but since killing you, can't possibly bring me back and will a lot me to be hunted down isn't a good idea."

"Do you always's think of killing things?"

"*If it's constantly annoying and trying to kill me I do find ways to kill it."

"I know you come from a world of war? But that is ju-*explosion sound* What the!?"

He looked at the main building of the academy, which had dust flying everywhere.

"Louise stay. *Draw's out his bolt running to the scene*"

"Hart no! Come back here!" Chases after him.

Hart ran to where the sounds of creaking, roaring and crashing rock was, till he reached the next courtyard looking up he saw this Earth Golem.

"A golem….and its rider on top of it…" He gazed upwards looking at the cloaked figure with its hood covering the Foquet's face.

He wasted no time, aiming his bolter upwards firing a several rounds, semi-automatically to try and hit caster, failing as the rounds hind the golem's forehead some just destroying her cloak.

"TSK! Get out of my way dog!"

As foquet uttered words, the Golem sent its fist flying at Him, quickly running and dodging it, as Foquet tries to smash him, running around, rolling and dodging the punches.

"Why don't you just stand still and die!"

"Damn the void…he's too high, I can't hit him and this damn thing won't get off my trail…truly it is a damned day." Cursing to himself.

His thinking and running was interrupted as an explosion rang out hitting the wall of the building. After the dust settled there was a large hole, breaching the vault.

Louise stood there shocked at what she did, she aimed correctly to her calculations right at the golem but, as she said "explosion" her shot went far to the left, hitting the wall and destroying it, leaving it open for Foquet to steal whatever he wanted.

"Hey kid thanks for opening a hole for me! Take this as my sign of gratitude!"

She then commanded the golem to send its fist flying at Louise, whose knee's were shaking as the fist flew to her. She was going to die! She was going to die because of her inability to move.

She wanted to cry as everything was slowing down. As she opened her eyes she was pushed by Hart who looked to his right as the fist collided with him taking him to the wall.

"See ya then folks and thanks for the loot! Ahahahahaha!"

Louise didn't care, she started running to the rubble where her familiar was buried.

"No…no this can't be happening! My familiar is dead….because of…me…why….why am I so incompetent…why am I always a zero…"

She wanted to cry, she was already on her knee's tears forming, but she stopped herself as the rocks were moving.

"Wha…"

Hart's arm came out, as he started digging himself out, Louise amazed and happy that her familiar didn't die rushed to the rubble digging with her hands, she now didn't care if her clothes got dirty or she did, it was that her familiar would be alive is what counted to her right now.

Soon He came out standing, his gasmask was destroyed, though he was ok his face was still covered in blood that was dripping down.

Surveying around him, he saw that the golem, or the head because of the wall, lumber away with foquet and the staff of destruction. He looked up spotting the whole of the vault and looks down seeing Louise kneeling.

"What are you crying about?"

"I-I-Im not crying! It's just that…you almost died…"

"Louise, it takes more than that to kill me, and need not to worry I have years of experience, but I must say this was a new feeling."

"Idiot…Well ok…Ah! We should get you to the medical wards!"

"That would be wise, as I have broken a few ribs. *Louise goes near lending a hand*It is not needed, I'll be fine going there."

Louise nodded, not wanting to argue with her familiar that just took a face full of rock and live to see the day.
