YOUR AWAKE!
(Kito's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Halkeginia
Three days have passed and I joined the security Guard main force at this academy, they got me some light armor and helmet and said that I should only wear light armor when there is a mission so it's not necessary to wear it right now, the chest plate and the shield look great on me, but the helmet look silly!
I'm at the guard office right now chilling out watching over the academy from the window where I lay my head on the wall behind me.
Suddenly someone open the door *Clek*
"Ah Kito!" it was Stephanie in her light armor suits and but without her helmet
"Sup! Just came back from a job?" I ask
"yeah it's like usual, guarding over something that we don't even know" she said, I've been curious with this 'thing' actually, the main forces has been task to guard over something over this 3 days, and still we don't know yet what is it…
So I ask her "Where's the others?"
"Vanessa and Vasquez is at the gate cause it's their turn now, Brian was called by the headchief this morning and Thomas…he's always missing and only appear when there is a thing he need!" said Stephanie with her Loli voice.
"What are you doing here then?"
"I'm just going to take my bag…Aha here it is yay!" she said grabbing her bag she left here a while ago
"How's your friend? The one who's coming with you here!" she said
"Oh Saito? He's still haven't awake yet, I checked yesterday and he's still recovering said Louise"
"Shouldn't you check him out right now? Beside you got nothing to do right!?" she said smiling to me, and I guess she's right also I've got nothing to do and my training with Brian is having a break so yeah I got free times for a while.
"Haha Alright then I'll be going! Better check him out" I stand still and getting ready to walk to trough the door
"alright me too then I should bring my sister lunch!"
"Wait…you can cook?"
"yeaa…I do but…not good as Vasquez, I mean he's the boss you know!"
"ahaha alright I get it lets go!" and we both get out from the office, she's heading to Vanessa location, and I'm heading to Louise room. I only wish that Saito recover soon… I have a lot of things to talk with him and about me being this guard is just to grin my skill points!
*a moment later*
I'm walking through the corridor with my shield and sword on my back, I didn't wear my armor because… Brian told me I don't have to when it's not important or there are no task, so right now I'm only wearing my casual hoodie.
Students are on their usual activity but I haven't seen Louise nor Siesta for a while…maybe Louise is in her class and Siesta…maid jobs!
As I stop in front of Louise's room door I knock twice and enter the room, what I saw really surprise me!
"S-saito! You're awake!?" I said, and he's not alone Siesta and Louise is in the room
"Hey Kito! And yeah I do feel better now just need to recover a bit and I should get better said the doctor earlier after I wake up!" he said
"Hi Kito it's been a while! where did you get that sword and shield?" Ask Siesta in wonder, we haven't talk or even met these past three days. Well that's because my training with Brian's
"Did you steal it from one of the Academy guard? Last time I saw you you're such in a hurry after you visit Saito!" said Louise
"N-no no you got that all wrong! I didn't do anything like that!"
"So what's up!?" Ask Saito from his bed
"alright…introduce myself I'm Minatsu Kito, Tristain Academy of Magic Main Forces Security Guard!" I introduce myself and i saw everyone surprised in gasp
"S-security guard!? I don't believe you!" shout Louise in her Tsundere style
"you don't need to and beside that's all I have!"
"Wow you join the Security Guard Forces? How did you ask to join?" ask Saito trying to get up from his bed as Siesta try to help him get up slowly
"Well…actually I was picked and recruited by Marco, the Security Guard headchief! And thank god I don't have to sleep on the floor again!"I said as I take a seat to a chair behind me "Louise may i?"
"S-sure but Kito…what reason?" said Louise still doubting my appearance as one of the guard in this academy
"One day after the duel, I was taken by the guard into their office, at first I thought I was getting arrested but then the headchief was…only asking for question and after a moment he told me to join the guard!"
"Why did you join then?" ask Siesta
"because…I don't have anything to do anyway… beside there is a lot of improvement that I got as a guard for these 3 days!"
"Huh? improvement…" Whispered Saito as I could easily heard him
"Yes Saito! Improvement, remember the duel we had with that blondie Flower boy three days ago?"
"yeah I do!"
"You can magically use sword that good and tear off those golem off, and me? I can't even kick a golem from behind instead I was only getting them mad thank god at that moment, you saved me thanks!"
"Oh that! Yeah no problem, but back to the topic what kind of improvement you got?" ask him once again
"well don't you see why I carry a sword and a shield?"
"wait…oh! Now you can use a sword and a shield!" he realize
"…a bit, still learning thought, anyway how did you use sword like that 3 days ago? Is there some kind of cheat codes you use or something?"I ask him directly, I've burying this question since he passed out and now I can't hold it much longer
"H-hey Kito…shouldn't we let and Saito rest a bit? I-its been a pretty tiring day for them…" Siesta said poking my back
"…r-right, alright, Saito I'll wait your answer later me and Siesta gotta go, catch on you later!"I said and taking my leave with Siesta
I walk one way with Siesta right beside me, I don't really care about it but somehow I feel…nervous, is it because she's too cute or it's just I'm not used to walk side by side with a girl because I usually walk alone?!
"Kito..." she call my name
"Yes!?" I shout in surprised in surprised
"*gasp* Kito are you okay? Why did you shout for?" ask her, shit I'm making myself look dumb right now
"n-nothing carry on, what's wrong Siesta?"
"it's about Saito, Marteau is asking me to call over Saito to the Kitchen if he's awake, can you help me?" she ask for my help
"Well if I'm not that busy or don't have any scheduled on my list…I think I should be okay with that!"
"Wonderful! i should probably tell Marteau and get back to my work soon, I'll see you later and by the way take Saito by the evening today, because I'll tell Marteau Right now!" and she left by taking a turn on the left as I continued my path along the corridor.
I wonder why's Marteau wanted Saito to come to the Kitchen…it's been a while I'm away from the Kitchen and nobody know that I became a guard… maybe because I only wear my casual hoodie with a shield and a sword on my back, I bet they all think that I stole it! Damn those peoples…
I continued as I ended up in a courtyard where I see a bunch of un-familiar things, there are flying eyeballs, Big giant Lizard, and many much more stuff, but there is also a normal animal like an owl, dog, or even a wolf!
"What the hell is this place?" I ask to myself which I have no idea
"It's the Familiar Courtyard!" said someone right behind me in a guard suit
"Whoaa who are you!?"
"that's 2 question but… I'll answer anyway, my name is Joseph Selfina Tristain Academy of Magic Second Guard Forces."
Ahh I see Second guard forces, the one who guard the interior and keep the safety of all student "now is my turn to ask, who are you?" he said and ask me, I'm officially one of the Academy's guard so there is nothing wrong If Introduce myself to him I guess
"Hi I'm Kito Minatsu Tristain Academy of Magic Main Guard Forces"
"Holy mother of…calm down, damn aren't you the guy who had a duel with Lord Guiche 3 days ago!?" he said in a really interesting reaction
"I guess I am"
"Wow i heard you beat Lord Guiche and make him shame to himself?"
"actually me and my friend did, he's still recovering from his wound right now, pretty severe"
"owh well… actually the news start spreading around the academy, there is even someone who leak it into a village nearby, so I guess you and your friend become a little famous huh ahaha!"
"ahaha well I guess so" Famous…in a good way or a bad way my question is…
"…let's just hope that Lord Guiche family didn't got upset about their son and order some assassin to assassinate you ahaha" he said with joking tone
"Haha wait…Assasinate?! What!?" holy shit he just said assassinate !? I mean there is nobody gonna trying to kill me right after the incident!?
"just kidding there's no such thing, at least for a while, guard in this Academy is pretty tight so I'm sure we be all safe" well yeah I guess he's right, I always see every single guard exercising, training, and patrolling all over the academy and with Brian taught me about how to fight and many more, I could probably defense myself over incoming danger
"Say Joseph, you are the second guard Forces…what kind of job does second forces have?" I ask him, just to continued the conversation and gaining info
"well basically we the second forces are tasked to keep the safety for the whole academy students, but it's all depend on situation beside there are third Guard forces who's guarding the School gate and wall"
"so…you're on a job?"
"yeaah!" he said cheerfully "I'm watching over these students Familiar!"
"What?" he just said Familiar, does it mean these 'things' are students familiar, just like Saito?
"yeah familiar, gotta make sure they all safe and sound, I didn't have to take care or anything just need to watch over, so I get a lot of time to chill out a bit" he said as he lay his body to the wall and take a breath
(Saito's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Halkeginia
I can't believe it! I just recover from my wound after losing unconscious for 3 days 3 nights and now I need to wash her dirty clothes for this 3 days!?
I'm washing these dirty clothes in a fountain around the Academy, the weather were pretty windy outside and so the water were pretty cold. Dammit, this needlessly lacy, it's so hard to wash!
"DAMN THAT CONCEITED GIRL!" I shout in anger, I mean in really anger I just got up after 3 days 3 night in bed, Doctor said that I should get more rest a bit but she ordered me to wash her 3 days clothes!
"Dude hey! You're being noisy!" said a person behind me
"Oh sor- Kito!?"
"Sup, what's with that face? You're just like seeing a ghost!" he said, it's so glad to know that I'm not totally alone in this world
"Ahaha yeah… 3 days of losing consciousness, I was wishing when I passed out 3 days ago that everything that happen was just all a dream and I wake up on my bed in Tokyo again, but… not like what I expected… dammit!" I said looking down the grass
"Well what I felt could be possibly the same as yours, it's just doesn't matter it's a dream or not but now I think we should just follow the river flow and probably found an answer in the end" he said calmly, I wonder how could he be so calm about this…
"How can you be so calm about this?!" I ask in wonder
"Calm? What are you talking about!? Knowing that a spear just turn into dust right in front of me? Getting adsorb by mysterious portal into a mysterious magical world and stuck with no way yet to get out? How can I be calm with all that!" he said rising his tone
"Right…sorry"
"Well it's doesn't matter anymore anyway, now I think you should continue your laundry dude or else…" he said
"Huh? Why should-Arrrghhh!" i was cut off and realize that Louise is pinching my ear from behind, And he just stand right there and laughing at me!
"How long are you gonna spend your time doing my Laundry!? " yell Louise right behind me while she pinch me ear and it hurt so bad
"Ouch it hurt, it hurt! Okay I'm sorry!" It was really hurt, my ear felt hot right now
"You're mumbling here and there instead of finishing the laundry soon and escorting me to class!" yell her again, and Kito was just Standing right there watching me getting yelled
"When the Laundry's hang up, come to the class room immediately!"
"I know okay…"
"Good I'll be going then!" and she leaves out of the blue
"Damn it my ear hurt so bad!" i said as I rub my ear
"You better stop mumbling and start washing Saito!" he said, now he's lecturing me to?
"Since when you start lecturing me!?"
"I'm not lecturing you, actually I'm only reminding!"
"yeah – yeah whatever…" and I took a seat on the grass and start washing this lacy clothes, underwear, and many more…
"owh yeah, I forgot to mention did i?" he said
"What is it?"
"If you have time…umm you should come over to the Kitchen this evening!"
"Why should i?" The Kitchen? I never been there before
"I don't know, don't ask me I don't have any clue but Siesta is begging for me to make you come to the Kitchen so… You choice, come and make Siesta Happy or don't and make her disappoint!" he said, I'm not sure this is true or a lie but it seems he's not joking
"Alright I'll come, but only if Louise didn't order me or anything!"
"Great, alright I think I gotta go, duty's call See yaa!" and he leave me with this Dirty laundry…I better finish it soon or else…
*a moment later after washing the Laundry*
I'm running through the hallway heading to Louise Classroom, when I take a turn to the right I saw her walking down the corridor with the other students heading to their class!
"Louise!"I shout her name and she turn and look at me
"Saito! You're here!" she said with her relieved expression
"You told me to go hurry so I go fast as I can"
"Good then, Lets go my class are about to start soon" she said grabbing my hand
As we are inside the class, Louise and I took a seat, I sit next to her and the other students start taking their seat to and not long after that, a woman in her magician Outfit came in and say "Good morning everyone!"
"Good Morning " shout back all the students
After some introduction by the teacher, the class start as she said "Today were gonna learn about…Elements!" the whole Students start listening what she said, well not everyone actually I saw a students on the back side was sleeping, but I don't care not my problem.
"…Alright so there are 4 elements of magic it was Fire, Water, Earth and Air Magic, it could create a different , stronger effect by combining multiple elements together, furthermore the level of mages is determined by how many elements we can combine and so what are these levels?" I don't understand a thing
"Yes me ma'am" Shout a girl right behind Louise raising her hand to answer
"Alright go on!"
"so a two elements combined form a line, 3 elements form a triangle, and four elements form a square!" she explain
"Well done, you may sit down" I don't understand a thing… but it doesn't seems like I have to understand anyway
"But I bet all of you can only use one element at the moment but I'm pretty sure you all will become better and better trough time!" she said
"I'm sorry miss but actually there is one of us that actually can't use any magic elements at all!" said redhead girl with tanned skin, and all eyes were aiming to Louise…Zero…ohh…now I get it! Hehehe
*Time Skip*
Me and Louise were walking down the hallway heading back to Dormitory after class, she's walking right in front of me and I was following right behind her
"Ahaha at least I learn a thing from your class back then Louise!" I said
"Huh? what did you learn? You can't use magic anyway!"
"yeah but now I know why you were called Louise the Zero!" as I said that suddenly her Face seems pissed with what I say but I don't care…
"Zero percent, Zero magic now I get it… you were called Louise the Zero because there is no such thing in History that you have ever succeed casting any spell, ahaha!" I laugh really loud and getting louder without realizing Louise stop her step right in front of me until I crash onto her.
"Ahaha-*Crash* Ouch…L-louise what's wrong?"
"Y….you…." she said glaring at me, I guess I was a bit too much back then…did I really make her mad so much?
"eh..L-louise are y-.." and I was cut off in the middle of the sentence
"NO MEAL FOR YOU EVERYTIME YOU SAID ZERO, you just said twice and that's mean no meal for dinner and Lunch!" oh shit…
"P-please Louise I'm sorry anything but that!
"NO EXCUSES!" and I was caught off silent by that…damn it!
And after that I was keeping my mouth shut off as we both walk through the hallway
(Kito's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Halkeginia
Sitting on a bench at the courtyard watching a few new recruits were taking lessons from the senior one, none of those were a main forces yet…we've been busy with our clueless job. Guarding over something we don't even know what it is… I wonder where is everyone right now… maybe I better look for them.
So I get up and try heading right into the office as I saw everyone is gathering up and Stephanie was standing frozen in front of me like he was about to walk out the door
"Uhm…what's going on?" as I raise my right eye brow wondering what the hell is going on? Even the Headchief is right here!
"Kito! I was about to call for you!" said Stephanie
"Yeah I'm here now! What's going on?"
"take a seat first Kito!" Said Headchief Marco as he stands in front of everyone, so I took a seat on an empty spot right beside Brian and Vanessa.
"Alright because everybody's already here, now I can start the announcement!" said Marco in Loud voice
"What is it sir?" ask Thomas in his red heavy guard suit
"Like always, each year an exhibition will be declared in this Academy many will come as usual, but this time is different…" he said
"and what is this 'Different' Thing?" Ask Brian
"…There is Something in this Academy that we have been guarded for these week and The Academy told me to command the Main force to guard it!" said Marco, but seriously he didn't say anything about what is it!
"And what's is seems to be the problem sir? We will guard over that 'thing' for sure!" said Vanessa
"Yes I know and I trust you all, but this year exhibition will be visited by the princess of Tristain" he said as everyone in the room gasp in surprise except for me and Vasquez
"Sir what's wrong if the Princess come visited? Doesn't it mean it will be a special event?" I ask as I raise my hands up, sorry it's was just my habit from school
"Yes Kito! it will be a special event because the princess is coming, but the real problem is… we also need to care for the Princess of Tristain Safety while Guarding over the vault of the 'thing' that I can't told you all about it yet… and that means splitting our task and that's slightly a problem because we only had 4 man and 2 woman In the main forces which is 6 in total…"
"So we're gonna split our task sir?" ask Brian
"Correct…so who wants to go first? Team A will be patrolling around the Princess and Team B will watch over the fault!"
This is… a pretty simple job actually…Guarding the Vault will be much more easier but watching over the princess will be much more important since she's the princess and one of the royal family member, but the Academy seems really want to keep this 'Thing' safe and sound and making it a secret, how can I know it's an important thing or not if we don't even know what is it yet?
"Kito!" shout Brian
"Y-yes!?"
"Which of the Team you'd like to Join, A or B?" ask him
Urggh… damn it alright! "i…choose A.."
"Alright who's another A?" ask Brian to Headchief as he take his seat, he seems holding the secret of the 'thing' inside the vault that we've been guard for these past few weeks… and he's also sweating on all over his face…
"I'm A!" Shout Thomas
"me to…" said Vasquez in plain…like usual
"Then that means…" said Brian when his sentence was cut off
"me and Stephanie will do Team B task!" agreed and understand, we all stand up as Marco also stand from his seat
"Alright…cause everyone's ready and know your job…I'm gonna tell you that this exhibition will come in three days so…I'm telling you all to practice and train these three days before the Exhibiton, And Brian!"
"Yes sir!?"
"Set up plan on how you will do your job!" said Marco as he leave and Brian Nodded, the room quite for a second with only all of the Main Force team inside
Brian stands up and turns his attention onto everyone and said "Alright you heard what the Chief said, let's get this clear so we can do our job everyone!"
"Alright then, lets decided right now!" Stand Vanessa from her seat
We spend the whole evening inside the room with only the light from window shining through inside, we discuss about every single important thing and decided what to do, Brian do the agreement and denying the bad things, Thomas, Stephanie and Vanessa do join the talk while me and Vasquez stood still, I believe Vasquez had some idea in his mind but he likes to keep it for himself while for me…I don't have a thing to say inside my mind for now, the only thing that is in my mind is…what is this 'thing' that this Academy have been hiding for… and I can't ask it to Brian since I'm sure he doesn't know about it either way.
*A moment after a long discuss*
Finally now I can take a breath of the outside air…damn that was harsh but at least I do understand…a bit. Anyway right now I'm walking down the hallway in the Academy this evening where I saw a lot of students heading back to their room at their dormitory… I put my both hand inside my pocket with a shield and a sword strapped on my back and the sun start setting down the horizon far from here.
"Hey Kito!" shout a guy in guard uniform running toward me…he's nobody else except Joseph
"Yo what's up?" I greet him back
"Not much, how's your?" actually I've been discussing about mission for three days from now, but I'm a bit cautious… not because I suspect him as a spy or anything…but I just want to keep it safe and sound
"Everything's goes the same as everyday till now, just patrolling around the Academy this moment" I told him
"Ah I see…it's pretty chill out here, the wind's getting wild as before, and also when I was checking by the dormitory earlier, I saw a man in a blue-white striped clothes laying down on the floor…I thought I was some students familiar so I let him be" He said, Seems like Saito!?
"Blue and white? You mean a hoodie?"
"I don't know…it's like…aha! He's clothes were just like you!" said Joseph pointing at my Hoodie
"Oh fuck…that was Saito, Dude I better check him out beside I finally realized I had job to do see yaa!" as I wave my hand and run away to the dormitory, Siesta asked me to tell Saito to go to the Kitchen earlier. Damn it I totally forgot about that beside… trouble's coming 3 days from now.
(Saito's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic girl Dormitory, Halkeginia
Damn that Louise, just because I mock her about she's being the Zero now she makes me sleep on the floor with no lunch, breakfast and dinner…I'm going to Die here in this unknown land of magic with unexplained things in my mind…but suddenly I saw a person in black outfits calling out my name
"Saito! Saito!" he said
"Angel…Angel of that is that you?"
"No dumbass I'm not an angel or even your Mom, it's me Kito!" ohh it was just Kito… damn it's so freezing causing my mind start to blank off
"Dude stay with me, didn't I told you earlier this day to come to the Kitchen this Evening?" Said him, wha?...oh yess that's right!
"owh yess! That's right damn I'm sorry"
"No need to be, let's just go now before you get even worse" and he help me get up and we both go to the Kitchen right away through the hallway, I'm barely standing but he help me stand still as we both slowly take one step as another.
