Chapter 5 : The Nightguard and our Sword
(Saito's POV)
Tristain Academy of magic, Halkeginia
"AND HERE IS OUR SWORD, LETS CHEER FOR HIM!" Shout the head chef or known as Marteu he said (referring to Kito), everybody inside the Kitchen start cheering up on me!
"ehehehe… I don't know what happen…but thanks?" I said awkwardly I really don't know anything
"Hahaha Chill out we were just having a little celebration party for you" Said this Chef dude
"ooh…why for? I mean I know just wake up but why? Why am I so special!?"
"No it was just because of-" Kito was about to explain but he was cut off by The Chef Dude
"YESS, YOU WERE SO SPECIAL AND THAT'S WHY WE CALL YOU OUR SWORD!" Shout him
"Our…Sword?" What does that mean?
"Yeah, our Sword! You were just a commoner like us but you could defeat a Noble without using a Magic! That's Awesome!" said one of Marteau Chef
"Oh that Duel with Guiche, well…that's not really special or anything…"
"Wait what? Are you serious of what you just said? There is no such thing in History that a Commoner could be a Noble ever!" Shout one of Marteau Chef, Seriously? So… I'm the first person in History that beat a noble in a duel as a commoner?
"Listen Saito for now just cheer up and go with the flow alright?" said Kito right behind me
"A-alright!" and I continue my drink as Marteau serves me some leftover food for the nobles but hey, it was really delicious!
"Yess…*Tear of Joy* finally…real food…" I said while I'm eating
"Ahaha it's just looks like you didn't had lunch today!" Said Kito
And I answer "well because I did! Louise didn't gave me a single bit of meal not even some leftover!"
"Ooh…I get it, that's Cruel…" he said as he took a seat on a chair behind him
"Don't you want something to eat Kito?" ask Siesta
"No thank you, i'm not hungry" she said with a smile on her face, a beauty like Siesta had a special treatment because of her beauty and her kindness, not like Louise which goes as the other way
"Hey Saito! Saito? SAITO!" Shout Kito, looks like he saw me spacing out
"Dude what happen to you!?" ask him
"Nothing I was just spacing out a bit sorry, I'll just resume my meal" I said as I start enjoying my meal again and again
"Thinking about what Louise going to do to you if she find out you were here chilling out, instead of doing your job as her Familiar?" He said
"Wooah that's not it…but probably you were right, what's Louise going to do if she found out I'm here?"I said in wonder
"Beat you up as hell, Simple!" he said lightly, I mean I'm the only one who's experience of being punished by someone else and forced to serve them, while he was… wandering around with his sword and uniform as a guard
"That's a bit too extreme…"
"Ahaha yeah it does, anyway do you have anything new?" ask him
"Not much, I only learn about Some Magic Elements in this world" I said
"ow really? Would you explain some of those elements that you had learn?" he ask me
"I don't actually understand at all, because I don't intend to take it seriously at that moment, but I heard there are Fire, Water, Earth and Air magic. Those four…well those four were just elements!"
"I know those four were just elements, but I was just a bit curious about it, because maybe it may help us learn about mages and magic even thought we didn't use magic…and may help us to get us home soon I miss my father and my Gaming PC"
Wow…he really takes it serious "and I heard that level of mages were determined by how many elements they could control, use and combine…if I'm not false these levels are Line, Triangle and…Square"
"W-wait what? Could you explain it a bit detail, I mean it looks like something is missing"
Aw man how should I say this"hmm…alright let me explain so a when you combine two elements of magic it will form a line, and if there is 3 elements it will form a Triangle and when there are four elements it-" I explain clear as I can but suddenly he cut my word off
"-it will form a Square, alright I get it now that's great!" he said with a smirk on his face after he just cut my word off, damn it he didn't even let me finish my sentence , what so special about learning this magic and stuff anyway I just want to go home.
Suddenly a woman in maid dress approach both of us, it was no one except Siesta "excuse me Kito and Saito, the Kitchen will be closed soon and all the waitress, maid, and chef will be taking their leave soon so…I suppose you finish it fast before we-" Said Siesta as suddenly once again Kito cut her word off like one that I do before she finish her sentence
"-Yeah we're just about to finish, come on Saito on your feet!" he said ordering me to stand up
"Hey wait let me have a drink first" as I was about to take a drink I just realize the cup were empty
"Lol ahaha your cup was empty…" said Kito, he just said Lol? He thinks this is the internet?
"Wait a sec Saito let me refill it for you!" said Siesta, she's so kind wait no…Too kind!
"No wait Siesta you don't have to…"
"It's alright Saito I don't mind" she said with that angel smile again…Wow that was so Cuuuteee. And then she went away to refill my cup with water
"Look Saito I better get back already…it's getting late and I don't want to caught by Brian coming back way too late so, See yaa!" and he went away trough the door leaving me with Siesta who just came back after she refill my cup with water
(Third Person POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Halkeginia
Kito was running through the court heading into Main Forces Barracks, it was so late around…10 PM, "damn it I spend too much time wandering around before I get back!" he thought
And when he just open the front door, He saw Brian blocking his way
"What do you think you're doing here!?" Shouted Brian
"I-I uhh…Sorry, I came back late sorry I was-" just when Kito was about to explain after he apologize, Brian cut his word off
"No that's not what I mean, what are you doing here?" said Brian raising his brow up
"What? I live here of course" Answer Kito causing Brian to Facepalm himself
"Oh my god you're really stupid aren't you? I mean what are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to guard the Vault! This night is your turn and Stephanie!"
"What? Nobody told me before-Oouch that hurt" Scream Kito as Brian grab his head and point it right into the bulletin board
"Next time pay to visit some time to look at the Bulletin Board there's a schedule list right there and now it's your turn so you better be hurry because Stephanie is probably waiting for you go now or else…"
"Or else what?" challenge Kito as he raise his head again
"Ohh so you're one of those stun born type eh? Well I won't do anything…but Vanessa will and I guarantee you don't even want to know what will she do to you if you don't hurry your ass up, Now go!" shouted Brian Causing Kito to flee away in hurry as a deer getting chased by a predator.
"Wow Brian you're so mean doing something like that to our Rookie, beside I'm not going to do anything to him you're just making things up to scare him off…meanie" mock Vanessa from behind at Brian
"Hey I'm just doing my job as his supervisor!"
"Huh…just admit it, it's your fault anyway because you didn't tell him earlier about the schedule list and stuff" mention Vanessa with mocking tone causing Brian to get pissed off by her act once again
"Ah c'mon no big deal with it anyway beside I'm the one who's in charge here!" shout Brian
"Yeaa suit yourself…*sniff2x* hey wait…I Smell Cookies!" said Vanessa as she run her way to the Kitchen
"Hey what!? Wait a minute!" and Brian followed behind her
(Kito's POV)
The Vault, Tristain Academy of Magic, Halkeginia
Shit-shit-SHIT! I'm really late, Stephanie must be waiting for me and I'm too scared of what that Stupid Brian mentioned earlier…
"KITO!" Shout someone so sudden when I was running, it really shock me
"Oh my god…Stephanie… y-you scared me!" I said while trying to recover my breath
"Ahaha Sorry did I scared you that much? You look…sweaty" said her, yes Indeed I'm sweaty cause I'm over exhausted on the way here and a bit worried with Vanessa…nah forget about it
"No…well…i-uhh…" shit I can't say a thing I'm too exhausted I need to take a breath
"Slow down Kito Sit down first and talk will you?" she said and she takes me to take a seat
"thanks…phew, you're okay?" I said as she raised her eyebrow
"What? I'm the one who suppose to ask you for that!" she said
"sorry I came on rush, i was scared of what your sister gonna do to me if she found out that I'm late and let you do your job alone" I explain
"What...hmph…ahahaha" and she laugh and laugh like it was the funnies thing in the world that she ever heard
"What!? What so funny!?" I ask in confused
"You…let me guess Brian is the one who told you isn't it?"
"Yeah that's right, why?" this is really getting on my nerves what's so funny?
"He was just playing with you, my sister never going to do something like that to anyone specially at someone she tread as Family" she said smiling with that face as I realize that Brian tricked me, Damn you Brian I shouldn't have trusted you!
"But…thanks for coming I was worried that I'm going to be alone in this creepy fault" she said, she…really looks Cute and wonderful without her helmet on her head…wait I shouldn't thinking about that no no no no…
"i..uuh yeah it's not a big deal" shit don't get flustered Kito…don't!
"Anyway Kito…do you have any idea what is behind this gigantic Vault door?" she said
"What gigantic? It's not really that big I've seen bigger one and pretty much stronger than this one, well maybe…I'm not sure" I said
"Really? Where?" she ask
"back in my world" both in a video game and real life but no I didn't mention about video games to her because I don't want to explain about video games to her
"Ah alright" she said and she start to walk around as I just sit here
"Hey…Stephanie" I shout
"Yes what is it?"she answer as she turn around and look at me
"Do you…have any family beside Vanessa out there?"
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry maybe I shouldn't ask about-"
"No it's alright Kito it's alright and no I don't have any other than my sister here with me, my parents went missing when I was a very little on a civil war 5 years ago…it was a very blurry memory but…"she said flashbacking into her past, seems like an unpleasant past
"Hey…let's not talk about it alright? How about something else?" I don't want to make her remember her whole past back…she looks sad so I had stop her "Ah I know! What do you think of Vasquez food?" I said trying to cheer her up
"Owh Vasquez he… he's the best among us, but looks like still below the Head chef around this Academy" she said regaining her smile back, thank god…
"of course he is…without him cooking around…there will be no food served on the table every morning and night" I said
"you sure?" she ask me as she get up from her seat next to the gate
"Yeaa of course I'm sure why not?" I said and I ask her again
"it's because I heard from Sister that Brian can cook very well, not good as Vasquez but he'll do the work well enough said my sister " said her
"Ahaha Seriously Brian!? I rather eat sand then finishing his dishes" I said and I'm sure it's pretty loud but there is only me and Stephanie so what could go wrong?
"Oowh really? You rather pick sand Kito?" a man voice coming from behind me…Holy shit it was Brian!
"Ohh no I just,i-I mean…"well I'm screwed, how did he get in here
"Buuuusted!" said Stephanie in her mocking tone
"Seriously Kito, you better watch your tongue while you still had it, anyway I was just here to check you both" he explain
"We are okay Brian! Everything under control!" said Stephanie winking her eyes
"haha okaaay then, just make sure you keep everything under control and no sleeping while you're on Duty! Got that Kito?" he warn me like he didn't trust me
"Yeaah I got it, don't worry I'm used staying late up night"
"Alright I better get going, good luck…and watch for Rats" He said, and warn about the rats in the end of the conversation just about before he close the door
"Wait Rats!? What rats?" I ask
"That Rats!" scream Stephanie as she point her finger into a corner where the rat is
I was shocked and a bit surprised but not scared, hell no way I'm scared of rats… " don't worry about that one, it's pretty far and it won't come here unless something attract it too"
"Yeaah I hope you're right" she said calming herself up.
And after that me and her spend the rest of the night Guarding a Mysterious gate of unknown thing inside…or well at least everything's go well here I don't know about Saito and his master… hope he's alright
(Brian's POV)
Time to head back, walking by the hallway at time like this is kinda creepy but I don't really care anyway creepy or not this world is already full of mystery that I don't and probably I will never uncover since…
"aaah finally now I'm full pheww finally time to head back" mumble a man right on my 12 *front* wearing a blue and white jacket, I know him he's Kito's friend.
"You're okay?" I better greet him properly
"ah? Oh yeaah I 'm great…wait I know you…aren't you the person that Kito mention as…" he was surprised as he point his finger into my direction
"yes indeed I am, I'm Brian the Leader of the Main Guard forces in the Academy nice to meet you" introduce myself to him
"Yeah and I'm Saito…I'm came and stuck in this word with Kito's…" he said
"I know, so you seem…full and relieved did something good happen to you after all this confusing things happen around you?"
"oh I just had my first good meal in this world after being tortured by my master…punished actually" he said
"who's you Master?" I ask as i raise my eye brow
"her name is Louise" he said
"owh miss Valliere? What did she did to you as the punishment?"
"no meal for me just because i… mock her up because she can't use magic ability properly like the other students" he said, I heard from the others that Ms. Valliere are the only students in this academy that can't use Magic ability properly, not even one elements she had ever control
"if that's the case then that's your fault from the beginning and I can't blame for putting a punishment for you although the punishment were also a bit too cruel"
"Yeah but seriously Mr…"
"Call me Brian just like Kito's did all day all night since he join me and know me"
"Alright…Brian, but seriously from all student's of this magical university she's the only one who can't use magic ability properly and she's still acting like she can do it" he said as he lay onto the wall next to him
"that's what I called believe in yourself or confident or probably both I don't care"
"yeah but why for? If she can't use magic? Why didn't she admit it and find another way?"
"One thing I should tell you about one of the Nobles rules in this world, every Nobles can and must have a magic ability in their blood since they were born, not like the commoners or you both *Kito and Saito*"
"yeah I heard it before" he said responding to my explanation but I'm not finished yet
"good but if a noble person born with a magic ability in their blood but can't use or control it's magical power they were banned from their family and their title as a nobles will be erased" i explain as his Face turn 180 degrees different, seems like he realized why did so hard.
"so that's why Louise did so hard…" he sounds to shame himself for mocking her up before
"But at least she did one thing to prove that she can use magic, she summon you as her familiar and your job is to protect and support your master" I said and he nod to me "now why don't you go to your master and apologize? She may be cruel but whatever people call her she's your master and you job is to protect and support her!"
"Yeah I do and I will, thanks Brian I'll see you again now I gotta go back!" and he ran as fast as he can heading to his master dormitory…hope he's not lost in this quite mysterious Academy…gotta admit first time I arrived in this Academy I was lost not knowing anything about the world and stuff but…
Whatever time to go back!
(Saito's POV) *this part is…well kinda pervert in my opinions, pretty hard to write but I'll try my best*
I ran but I'm out of breath so I took the stairs slow as possible…guess Brian words is like a boost but now I'm out of that boost but still, Louise must be Waiting
As I took a turn in the hallway I saw a red giant Lizard waiting in front of me
"I-I know you! You are-" and bit my hood and drag me into a room
"NOO PLEASE DON'T EAT ME I SWEAR TO GOD PLEASE NO!" and the door's closed and I was dragged into a dark room, there's only 1..2…3 wait…a lots of Candle and I saw a person standing right in front of me with a dark red hair with the shine of the moon covering her back, it was that Red haired Woman I saw today!
"Hello there Hiraga Saito Welcome to my suite, or your name is actually Hira Gasaito?" she said
"You can just call me Saito" I said
"Alright…Saito" that sounds weird
"I know this may sounds weird but…by name is fever. I tend to burn like torch."
"uhh…excuse me?" what the heck is she talking about?
"oh so you don't understand?" she ask, of course I don't understand!
"ahaha alright then…I'm in Love with you Saito!" she said….Wut?
"Love always come so suddenly huh?" yeah it's certainly so sudden
"You really looked Handsome when you defeated Guiche! Seeing it, Kirche the fever become Kirche The Passion…" she said as her face coming toward my face, she's Trying to kiss me!
Her lips almost reach mine as a man appeared on the window behind her and shout "Kirche!" and she turn around to see the man, I don't even have any idea who's that!
"Oh, Styx what are you doing here!?" she said so he's name is Styx
"I came by because you didn't show up at our promised time." P-promise? Wait a minute…
"then please change that appointment to two hours from now." Said Kirche
"That's not the Deal we had!" he said as I look at Kirche getting annoyed so she raise her wand and turn a candle fire into a snake shape and strike it onto the guy itself "wait isn't this is the third…floor?" I ask
"don't worry he'll be alright beside he's just a friend" she said
"uhh right…"
"anyway I love you Saito!" she's back on trying to kiss me!
"Kirche" wut? Another one?
"Who is that man?" yes another one but different man and again Kirche strike it with her flame magic and put him down on the ground…from the third floor…
"it's just a friend, by the way the night is short so I don't want to waste any of my time with you…" she said this time looks like she's gonna kiss me
"KIRCHE!" said a crowd of man on the window once again
"What are you doing!? You said you didn't have any particular lover!" they all said and They got washed out by the flame of Kirche giant flame lizard that I forgot its name is
What a bunch of miserable guy… after that Suddenly Kirche put me down on the ground as she's now on the top
"I love you Saito" she said this…is embarrassing
"umm I have to errand to run, you know I'm just a busy familiar of Louise!" I need to get out
"forget about her, I'm much more than Louise the Zero" she's right…she's more than Louise the- Wait no hold on!
She trying to reach my lips once again but I block it with my hand "I can't do this, not like this and-" i was just about to said something when suddenly the door wash bashed and a woman in pink hair appear…that was Louise my master.
"Kirche!" she said
"Oh can't you see I'm busy Valliere?"
"Zerbst, whose familiar do you think that you are trying to seduce?!" she said
"haha it can't be helped, love and fire are destinies of the von zerbst family and I only wish to burn in flames of love" she said…I don't get it
"urrgh…Familiar come with me!" shout Louise I should turn into her now
"Wait a minute even if he's your familiar you can't just treat him like an Animal, he's also a human that needs to be taken care of with love and-"
"Just shut up, Familiar!" she yell again so I stand up as she put her cute expression and say "You're going home already…?"
"Sorry but she's my master and no matter wh-OUUCH HURT!" I scream as suddenly Louise pinch my ear and drag me out of the room and back to Louise room
As we both arrived and back inside the room *Louise and Saito* she lock the door and stand still in front of the door…I should say something to apologize to her
"Louise…I-" I said as suddenly she rage out on me
"YOU STUPID FAMILIAR YOU'RE JUST LIKE A DOG IN HEAT!" oh my god I was really scared with her attitude so I stand shock and covering my face until I realize she just walk past trough me heading toward an End Table and grab something.
So I ask "What is that?"
"It's a crop I use for horseback riding! I was wrong…I was wrong to treating you like a Human so…" she's about to hit me with her crop it
"Wait…let me explain first…Louise…" and *CTAK* ouch "Wait LOUISE!" again and again and again she hit me with her crop until I stop her by grabbing her right hand where she hold the crop
"Wait…could it be that you…were jealous of me sneaking into Kirche's rom instead of you?" I said and suddenly a felt a serious pain on my **** she kick me right there and put me on the ground and yell
"Me? Jealous over you? What was that!?"
"no it was just a misunderstanding forgive me…" I said
"I Don't care who you date, but she alone I forbid!"
"Alone?"
And she start explaining "Kirche Family's, The Zerbsts and my family, The Vallieres have long been archrivals! It's a disgrace to my family if one thread, one dog, gets taken by a Zerbst Woman! Got that you dog!?"
"Y-yes…"
*Scene Skip*
Louise is sitting in her seat while I was sitting on the ground explaining every single detail that I know to her about the current event, she listen to what I said and nod but keep silent until I finished
"So…you were dragged to Kirche's room in the Salamander'smouth?"
"yeah, it was involuntary that giant lizard suddenly attack me and drag me!"
"How pathetic…you're swordsman, aren't you?" huh excuse me?
"I'm not a swordsman the other day was the first time I've ever held a sword in my life!" I said
"You're kidding! 3 days ago you were so adept when you were fighting Guiche."
"I don't know anything…my body moved on its own the moment I grabbed that sword into my hand, beside there's no way I'm going to survive without Kito back there"
She nod and said "hmm…Sometimes familiars can yield special power once contracted for instance, a black cat familiar can learn to speak and I guess you, my familiar can use sword once you held in in your hand!" she said
"But how about Kito? Does it mean he had the ability to survive that bronze spear and turn it into a dust because he held a special power by being someone familiar and yield a contract?" I ask Louise because maybe she know the answer or at least a bit clue
"I don't know about that Kito but I never heard a familiar skill where he or she will be anti to earth magic element but I guess that's enough hurry up and go to sleep we're getting up early tomorrow!" she said finished and stand up as she goes to her bed and getting ready for bed time
I guess this is it I grab a few hay from the haystack inside her room and about to went out when suddenly she ask where I'm going
"Where are you going?"
"Where? To the hallway of course"
"it's alright sleep in my room, You'' be in trouble if Kirche attacks you again" she said wow I don't know what to say…thank you I guess?
"T-thanks…" I said but she already close her eyes and won't answer what the hell? Alright I guess I should go to sleep to, hopefully tomorrow will be better than this day…ugh what a mess
(Kito's POV)
"Hoaaam" I yawn it's really quite and creepy up here, I usually didn't feel this sleepy for staying up late night but with no activities like playing any games I'm really sleepy…
"Hey Stephanie what shou- Steph?" ah she's asleep now I'm really up alone tonight…wait it's already the time to switch our shift with Vas and Thomas but where are they?
*Tap- tap-tap* sounds like footsteps coming from the hallway I wonder who's up this late night, it's getting closer and louder looks like it's heading this way, I was about to grab my sword when suddenly the door's open and I saw 2 guy and it was Vasquez and Thomas and just about time they showed up
"Yo Kito still wide awake I see" he said, just about time he showed up
"Yeah just about damn time you guys showed up! Stephanie fell asleep and now what should I do?"I said pointing my finger to her, she's sleeping on the chair with her body laying onto the wall next to her, she sleep really quite and…Cute my opinions is
"Then wake her up, it's our turn now you better go to bed after this" said Thomas as he put his stuff for his turn shift and so as Vasquez did
"A-alright" I get up and start heading toward Stephanie and waking her up "Stephanie wake up, Stephanie!" I said many times but she didn't wake up, I tried shaking her up but It didn't work she still asleep
"Tom she won't wake up no matter how many times I did" I said
"Then…I think you better carry her up!" he said calmly
"W-what? Excuse me?" I said
"He said carry and take her back to her bed" said Vasquez and I suddenly out of words when Vasquez suddenly speak I just nod
And so I try to carry her on my back with a help from Thomas and Vasquez of course they said they'll take care of Stephanie and my bag until I come back
And so I start walking with Stephanie on my back, she's still sleeping and sometimes I tried to take a peek at her face on my left shoulder as she lay her head on my shoulder and her white hair spread down on my black hood jacket.
"…Kito…"she said while she's sleeping suddenly caught me on surprise for a while why is she calling my name…I'm sure I blush a bit, A BIT! When she called my name. but whatever I better start walking fast!
*Time skip after Kito put Stephanie on her bed"
"Hoaaam" I just yawn I'm really tired but I need to take my and Stephanie bag before I could go to bed, but before even could go back to bed, suddenly Brian appear in front of me
"Kito pack your stuff we're going to the city!" he said with the commanding tunes, sounds like there is an important business that need to take care of. I haven't sleep yet I'm so sleepy so… I hope I don't passed out on the way…
"Wait Brian first I need to take my bag and Stephanie first before i could-"
"Don't worry I got things covered!" said Thomas carrying my bag and Stephanie. So I put on my bag and put Stephanie's bag next to her bed, and after that I take my leave with Brian to the city. The sun is starting to Rise as everybody inside the Academy is awaken from their rest last night except for me…I haven't sleep not even a bit, I guess I'll just sleep in the cart after this but even I'm tired as hell but probably there's something interesting I could find in the city…I hope so because a new day is about to begin.
