I'm back again! Yay! Thank you for the continued support. It's crazy since I've already had like 800+ views so this story is getting around huh? What's even weirder is that I only have 11 reviews. So review some more.
To llat-2, I know I could've skipped the intro chapters but I did it so that I could develop a writing style since this is my first fic. Also, seeing familiar chapters in a different perspective will make the future developments seem more real.
Anyways, happy reading!
-o0o-
Saito:
"You stupid familiar, what are you doing! You're just a commoner! How could you possibly defeat a magic using noble!?" Louise ranted, though Saito wasn't listening, "What am I going to do when you die? Go apologize to Guiche before he destroys you. You'll get off an inch away from death at best!" Saito stopped abruptly and turned to Louise.
"Do you really believe that a snobby brat who's been spoiled his entire life would be able to even touch me? He's arrogant and has no respect for his fellow human being. On top of that, he's even a cheater! It's time somebody put him in his place." Saito growled through clenched teeth. Louise backed away in surprise at his conviction. Saito stomped off before Louise could react.
When Saito reached the courtyard, he stopped and surveyed the scene. A crowd of excitedly chattering students was gathered in a circle around a person he couldn't see, although it's probably safe to assume it was Guiche. The courtyard was surrounded on all sides by stone walls and like the other courtyard, it was sparsely decorated. Hmm, for such a rich school, they don't do a lot of landscaping huh? Saito thought but quickly dismissed the thought because of its irrelevance. He proceeded to walk into the throng of students. The clamor of talking students hushed as everyone stared at Saito in a mixture of respect and pity as he strode into the center of the crowd.
"I commend you for showing up though it was a foolish decision." Guiche declaimed trying to show off to the crowd.
"I don't see why I should be afraid of an arrogant brat." Saito snarled, a smirk on his face. At this, Guiche's showiness disappeared immediately.
"I see," Guiche responded anger in his voice, "then let's get down to business." He waved the rose in his, a petal dropping to the floor becoming a bronze statue holding a lance as soon as it made contact with the ground. Saito recoiled in surprise but quickly recovered. So that was his wand? Interesting… he thought. "Obviously, since I am a mage, I will fight with magic." Guiche proclaimed haughtily.
"I expected no less." Saito said calmly, though on the inside he was fighting to hold down his panic. Well, too late to back out now. He thought shrugging as he abruptly dashed towards the Valkyrie. It raised its spear arm and swung down. Saito side stepped out of the way and stomped on the lance that had slammed on the ground where he had been standing, causing it to drop the spear. He bent down to pick it up but the Valkyrie kicked him out of the way before he could get a grip on it. He grimaced at the pain in his stomach but stood up hurriedly to avoid another blow while on the floor. He saw his bronze adversary try to pick his spear up when red clouded his vision. He sprinted towards the statue and tackled it mounting it once they were on the ground. He attacked it with a flurry of blows to its face. Guiche slowly backed away horrified at Saito's brutality imagining what would happen if he was in his summons place but soon stopped himself when he realized Saito's attacks were all in vain. When Saito finally calmed down and backed away, he noticed the sharp pain in his fists for the first time. On closer inspection, he realized they were bloody and swollen. He stared in horror as the Valkyrie just stood back up, other than its dented face, unaffected by his onslaught. He hurriedly picked up the spear while backing away, staggering after catching his foot on a rock.
Suddenly, he felt incredibly light, strength flooding his body, his pain disappearing. The statue charged when Saito remembered something he had seen in an old war movie. Once the Valkyrie was 5 feet away, he dropped to his knees with the butt of the spear firmly planted in the ground. The Valkyrie, its master not having enough time to react, impaled itself on the spear causing Saito to slide back a few feet. He stood up planting his foot on the statues chest, wrenching the spear free from its chest. His arms in a blur, he stabbed the Valkyrie repeatedly in the chest and joints until it couldn't move without falling apart. Guiche, stunned just stared at Saito. When Saito began striding towards him, he finally snapped out of it and summoned 5 more Valkyries, wielding assorted weapons but were otherwise identical. He broke into a sprint dodging sword swipes and stabs quickly dispatching of a newly summoned Valkyrie stealing its sword allowing for easier close combat.
He looked around to see the rest of the newly summoned Valkyries charging him. He waited until each of them swung their respective weapons when he ducked causing to destroy each other for the most part, dispatching the rest with apparent ease. He strode towards Guiche who was now cowering on the floor staring at the mutilated remains of his golems. He knelt down and pressed the blade of the sword against Guche's neck.
"Surrender," He growled. Then, as if as an afterthought he asked, "Or do you want to continue?" in a mocking tone.
"N-n-no, I surrender." Guiche mumbled, staring at the ground in shame.
"Good." Saito said with a smile before striding off when he realized, How did I just do that? I never fought in my life. Deciding he would worry about it later,he discarded the sword when the pain in his hand and stomach flared up. He looked down at his knuckles and saw that his hands looked like little more than ribbons of broken and bloody flesh. He stared in horror for a moment before he crumpled into a heap on the floor. "Hey! Don't die!" he heard someone scream. He felt someone shaking his shoulders. That was the last thing he heard before losing consciousness.
Wow that was a long chapter. Well you might not think so but it sure felt like it. Anyways, if my writing seemed a little different, it's because I spent a little more time on this chapter. Just a little more until the interesting part so please stick with me! As always, R and R and see you next time!
