Welcome to the Academy…Giant Golem!?
(Part 2/2)
(Third Person's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Courtyard Field
An hour has passed at the Academy, one by one of single students from the Academy get on the stage and show off their performance with their familiar in front of the Academy, the show goes more special as with the Princess participating as a guest in the Academy as well. From a frog to a Dragon, the best so far are Tabitha's performance with her Shylpid Dragon familiar.
"Saito!" Louise said from the backstage as her turn is about to come, "Yea?" he answered "Just one bow and don't do anything unnecessary! Okay?" she said, "Whaat?! After all practice I had before and that's it!?"He said in disappointment "It's Alright now! The princess already saw what you were look like and…"
"Next up…Miss Louise De La Valliere!" the crowd clap as the two familiar and master expression when awe, "Alright…here goes" the two went on the stage as the crowd went silent. Meanwhile, Kito were sightseeing around the courtyard, "ah it's Louise and Saito turn!" he said with his crossed arms. "Kito! What's up man?" suddenly Josh appeared "Hey Josh, oh not that much its Saito's turn by the way" Kito said.
"Oh Saito, he's Miss Valliere Familiar isn't it?" ask Josh "Yeah, haha I wonder what kind of performance Saito will do" chuckle Kito "hmm…the princess look pretty does it?" said Josh admiring the Princess from distance "ewh dude! what's with that eye you pervert idiot!" mock Kito "It's called admiring the princess and I don't have any dirty mind on her anyway…well probably" ended Josh.
"Let me introduce…this is my familiar, Hiraga Saito…his type is a…" Louise said on the stage as she gaze down when she about to say Saito's type as a familiar "Go for it Louise the Zero!" one of the students shouted a mock at her and everybody starts to laugh "That's fucking rude!" Josh said, but Kito went silent with no single comments coming from his mouth while watching the show from distance with Josh next to him, and an embarrassed eye were seen from her eyes, but then she tried to cover it up and shouted "…Peasant!" she shouted at last, but causing the whole crowd to laugh even louder.
Meanwhile…
Tristain Academy of Magic, Fault Gate
"Vanessa, what do you think the other were doing right now?" said Stephanie over boredom "I don't know sis but…I think they're not bored as we do" said Vanessa to her sister from her seat, cleaning her musket with a cloth while her sister were wandering around the room. "Hey Stephanie" said Vanessa "yea?" answer Stephanie and she stood "how's your shift with Kito is he…a good man of your dream?" she said, causing Stephanie to blush her cheeks off red "Stop it sis I don't want to talk about it!" she said while Vanessa just chuckled from her seat. *Tap – tap* suddenly footsteps were heard and coming from the hallway "you hear that?" said Stephanie "yea…" The two sisters ready their hand on their weapon.
*Zapp* "WHAT THE!?" *Crash* the two sister fell down on the floor unconscious after a green flash just zapped out of their consciousness. A figure in hooded cloak and a long green hair, standing on front of the gate with the two sister who were left down on the floor, the unknown figure hand out its wand with a smilish grin written on her face.
(Saito's POV)
"I told you just bow and that's it alright!? Why won't you listen!?" She yelled at me because of my act earlier back on the stage, "But they were all cracking up" I said walking by next to her side away from the stage, she doesn't want to see the result so she straightly walk away after we're off the stage. "…you just make a fool to yourself you know that…" she said, "geez whatever…Louise? Why we're sto-" I saw huge creature in front of us, a giant rock creature "G-golem!"
"W-wha..is it someone's familiar too?" i said "No it is…" suddenly we heard a shouted from the top of the golem, a woman voice "Huh, you're out of your luck!" it said and that Giant rock thing hand's were suddenly on top of us, trying to reach both of us so I push Louise away, but unfortunately…it got me.
"Urgh…L-louise Run!" I desperately tried to scream but this thing hands is…choking me apart "Let go of Saito!" shouted Louise as she hand out her wand and point it right onto this giant Golem. "L-louise! Run what are you doing!?" I said, damn it I couldn't break free and Louise's trying to cast a spell, but how on earth can Louise cast a spell!?
"Ex…der…bet…FIREBALL!" She shouted "…" Nothing happen? "Wha-" *BANG* an explosion…next to me, She almost blow me up again
(Kito's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Exhibition Courtyard
*BANG* "Huh?" what was that? Did I just hear an explosion coming from the other side of the academy main building? "hey Josh did you hear that?" I ask him "hear what?" he doesn't seem to recognize "never mind…I'll be right back" I said before leaving. I have a bad feeling about this
I run my way to the other side of the Academy in rush, when suddenly *BANG* I heard one more explosion followed with the ground shakes "What the hell…it's coming from…OH SHIT!" I rush trough the stairs heading to the vault, Vanessa and Stephanie is in DANGER!
A moment later
"STEPHANIE! VANESSA!" I rushed myself here because I knew the explosion come from the fault, the two sisters is left down on the floor. I checked their heart beat and thank god they're alright, but the vault has been breach. "Ah damn… I couldn't call Brian or the other at this situation huh?…What the…" I saw a woman in hooded cloak, taking a small black crate from inside the vault and headed back outside trough a hole on the wall
"HEY STOP!" I shouted at her, she notices me, we stare at each other but I couldn't see her face behind her hood, and then suddenly she jump onto her…GIANT GOLEM!? I was about to catch her but then she went away too quick I didn't make it, I stood near the hole and saw the giant Golem start to take a leave from the Academy.
"ARRRGHH!" is that SAITO!? He fell from that thing hand and was about to hit the ground when suddenly a dragon snap and catch him right on time, I sigh of relieved but that mysterious woman got away with the thing that I and the other been guarding all this week. This is so bad…
A few moments later inside the Living Quarters
The sun starts to set down the west, the whole Guard of the academy and teacher starts to investigate the incident happen today, even the royal guard and army are here. Stephanie and Vanessa are unconscious on their bed with us and the whole team. "This is fucked up…" I said "it's not your fault, the Vault gate is breached because the Academy didn't really keep an eye on it very well since yesterday the princess came" said Brian "I know it's not but…the thing inside the vault…we still haven't know it yet you know?" I said as suddenly Brian turn down and his expression say that he couldn't agree less.
*Knock – Knock* the door was knocked, a man from the royal army came in his uniform "Is there anyone named Kito Minatsu here?" he said "Me, I'm Kito" I said, "please come with me we want to ask you a few thing" he said as he left with the door opened "Kito…" said Thomas "don't worry I'll be back in a few secs" I rush my way to the door and saw the guy's waiting for me beneath a tree nearby.
I walk approaching the guy, he seems normal but his eyes seems looking for clue and…suspecting many person "What do you want sir" I said in front of him "Listen we just want to ask you a few things straightly and you just need to answer it that's all" he said, duuh I get it dude just get on with it already… "Alright first one, are you there went the thief break inside the fault and steal something inside the vault?"
"Yes I was" I answered "and do you see who is this figure was?" he said "No I don't, but it's a she and she wear a cloak so I couldn't see her face at all" I said "Okay, one last do you make contact with the suspect?" he said "…No I don't" I said, it was a lie though…she saw me back there but I want to keep it a secret of mine "Okay that's it thank you for your corporation" he said as he take his leave and I stood beneath the tree.
"Kito!" Brian suddenly came "Yea?" I notice "We better get back to the courtyard, Miss Valliere and Saito was also involved" he said, yeah he's right "Alright then let's go!" I said us both of us nod and rush to back to the courtyard on foot.
(Third Person's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Exhibition Courtyard
After the incident happen today, the whole academy students when rushes and start talking about it, the rumors from the thief took down a few guards to the stolen mysterious crate inside the vault. The whole students still gather in the courtyard for inspection but they seem to find nothing.
It was our duty as guard in the Academy to make sure everything's safe and under control, but it seems the situation gone under control by the royal guard. I'm still curious with the 'thing' inside the vault by the way. "Look Brian, where are you exactly when that giant thing came and breach the vault at time?" I said while walking behind him "I was at the exhibition tent with Marco and Your Highness, I should have come patrolling with the other, sorry Kito!" said Brian, that's the first time Brian said sorry to me…he's not like what I've think after all. "Hey Kito!" I hear someone's calling my name, I turn my head and saw Saito and his master looking at both of us "Hey Brian its Saito and Louise! We should go to them, they were right there when the incident occurred" I said, brian nodded.
"Hey Saito, hey Louise, What's up?" I said "Miss Valliere, Saito" greet Brian gently "Nah, we're just wondering around." Said Saito "…She could control a golem that large...she must be a triangle class mage." Louise said, I've heard this before, Saito mention about mage class a few days ago, about how many element of magic that a mage could handle and this…thief, must be a triangle which is she could control three element of magic. Impressive…
"Well, in any case, since we all survived, it's alright right?" said Saito cheerfully "That's not how things go!" yelled Louise, can this girl chill out for any sec!? We were talking to each other. Me, Brian, Saito and Louise or should I say Miss Valliere? Suddenly we heard footsteps, it was the princess followed by 6 men of Royal knight guard behind her.
"Thank god you two are safe!" the Princess of Tristain rush toward us "P-princess!" Said Louise as she bow in front of her, followed by Saito and Brian with bowing his head only. I guess… I'm the only who doesn't bow."I'm terribly sorry!" Apologize Louise, The Princess put her hands on Louise's shoulder "it's not your responsibility Louise Francoise" she said kindly, "Princess, please be hurry" said one of her royal knight guards. The princess nod "I'm sorry, but I have to report this incident to the royal palace as soon as possible, I hope we will meet again in the near future, Louise Francoise, Mr. Familiar, and sir Guard!" she said, Brian nod at her and somehow, my eyes and the princess eye meet each other.
Her glance at me seems different, her eyes… it makes me flustered a bit so I face the sky all sudden. "Princess?" the royal guard stand by and remind her once again "Y-yes let's go" she said as she get up and took steps leaving the Academy with her royal cart. Somehow…I feel a bit heavy in my heart seeing her leave. "Kito, you okay?" I didn't realized Brian notice me "U-uh, yeah I'm okay" I said, why should I care about her anyway? …but maybe… it would be great if I could get to know her that night.
Tristain Academy of Magic, Living Quarters Dining room
It's was like usual night, only without the two sister with us on the table "Kito?" I noticed Thomas said that "...yea?" maybe he noticed I was playing with the spoon all the time when the foods served already. "You seems weird, what' up dude?" he said "I-it's nothing, I'm sorry but I'll be right back" I said leaving my seat and my…team. I'm not that hungry at the moment, I went outside just to find some air.
It's a bit windy tonight and dark for sure, especially when there are no lamps around. Tree's leave are flowing around, the two moon shining bright with its blue and pink light. I can't stop thinking about the thief, the golem, and how that thief took down the two of our team. But I'm glad they were alright.
"Hey Kito, you shouldn't think about it way too much" suddenly Brian appeared behind me, "oh Brian, what are you talking about?" I said "Kito, you don't need to cover it, you're not thinking about the princess aren't you?" he said "Why should I?" He's asking me a weird question "I don't know, I thought you are the one who know, anyway don't worry about the incident too, it's not our fault a triangle class mage plus she's a thief make it impossible for a commoner like us. Well that's what they said though…" Brian start mumbling, but I have to admit his words has point "I know that, but maybe we could stop her that time if we're all gathered up" I said.
"Yeah and get our self flattened or end up like Stephanie and Vanessa" he said, "…Listen Kito you don't need to think about it, not your fault or mine, it's the Academy who's going to take responsibility, we'll just have to wait and take order from em" he explain, "Yeaah…I think you're right" His words are true though "Beside Kito, every action we took always come with a responsibility that we must pay"
"Yeah you're right…sorry" I apologized, maybe I'm being way to dramatic "apology accepted, now get yourself in and had some feast. Beside I'm hungry too" said Brian "Yes sir!" I salute and went inside.
(Brian's POV)
Huh that kid…"Oh Brian is that you?" suddenly Marco come "Ah Evening Chief!" I put my words after him, "Evening Capt, how's the two sisters?" he said "They were alright, still in bed but everything should be fine" I added, "it's just…the Thief are the one who cause this, yet we can't do anything…it's my fault from the beginning since I'm the one who's set up the task for them" I said blaming myself.
I faced down as I blame myself "No need to blame yourself, even I couldn't stop that Thief…or should I say the Fouquet" he said, Fouquet…"and recently we, the Academy just found words written on the wall inside the Fault, it's from the Fouquet "what is it?" she even leave messages "Sigh…The Staff of Destruction has been transferred into my hands, Fouquet the sculptor" Marco said.
"That Bitch…sorry sir" I apology and he nodded his head "so…that mean... the thing inside the vault is the Staff of Destruction!?" I said, suddenly Marco face suddenly jumped out "Awh Shit! I'm not suppose to tell you about this, Shit shit shit!" he swore three times, "umm…sir?" so he accidently spoil the classified information…? "Haaarrgh!...sorry, well because you already know then I'm going to let you and your team to know about this info but don't spoil! Even to Professor Osmond itself!" he said "Umm sir, Professor Osmond? Why I though he-" I said when suddenly "Just dooon't!" he yelled "because if he know that I told you about this… I just spoil a classified Information to you" Chief Explained, what a shame… "Yes sir"
"Alright urghh…it's getting late I'm going back to my room, take care alright!" Marco finished his final word before he went back to his room. So, Staff of Destruction eh?
The next day
(Kito's POV)
Tristain Academy of Magic, Training Field
"Come on guards, show me what you got all this time!" Peeps starting their morning run, it's kind of weird us the main forces team didn't had a run today, all because the incident yesterday… Yup at least they're alright "Yo Kito!" Josh greet me with his T-shirt or…probably a shirt in this mediaval era "Hey morning" I greet back "Where you going?" he said "naah, me and my team got a day off today, I'm going to the Academy, just to had fun though, see yaa!" I said weaving my hand while walking away.
Tristain Academy of Magic, West Hallway
The hallway looks quite, everybody's in their class, Maids and Chefs were in the Kitchen preparing for Lunch meal. Half of the mages in the Academy was also sent to the royal palace as representative from the academy, I wonder how the queen is by the way…I heard she had to take responsibility, hope she's fine anyway.
All of sudden Marco's the Guard Chief suddenly shout my name "Kito!" he's calling my name "Y-yes?" I replied to him "Please…come with me" he ordered, what's going on? I thought the problem yesterday is over… Better follow him anyway then.
In the Principal Office
He opened the Principal's Office door, and I saw Louise, Saito, Kirche, Tabitha and the other Professor Mages in this Academy gathered inside. "A guard?" the Tanned girl in red hair said "He's no random guard, He's Kito!" Saito said "Can everybody explain what the reason we all gathered around here is?" everybody suddenly goes silent "Ergheem…Since everybody's gathered I want to inform something…as the headmaster of this Academy I'm the one who's responsible after the incident that occurred yesterday in this Academy." Now I see the reason we all gathered.
"Miss Loungeville" Finished Professor Osmond, now its Miss Loungeville turn "Yes, Upon questioning various folk around town, me and my team have gathered information about Sighting of a suspicious shadow entering and leaving a deserted shack deep in the woods." She said, well informed, nice one!
"You sure are quick with your job, miss Loungeville" praised Our Ganda-I mean Professor Osmond…he really look like Gandalf thought, his position, how he respect, his beard…"from those Testimonies, I've attempt to sketch it out" Loungville said as she hand Osmond a paper of a sketch that she made, Osmond turn the paper toward us and let us see the sketch
"How is it?" said Osmond, the sketch suddenly bring me a pair of Flashback back to the time when I faced Fouquet, and my eyes suddenly stare at Loungeville, her basic appearance really met the characteristic of the Fouquet that I saw yesterday but…there's no way she's the thief…right?
If I think back more about the Fouquet characteristic, Miss Loungeville is the perfect pair but once again…she's Professor Osmond Secretary of the Academy. "T-this is Fouquet there's no doubt about it!" Louise shouted, she confirmed the sketch.
"Let's report this to the royal palace and we can send in some royal guard men there!" said Colbert, the guy with glasses. "If we drag our heels that much, Fouquet will catch on to us. We must get the Staff of Destruction back with our own hands, to regain the Institute's honor that was tarnished by that thief! Raise your wand if you're up for the challenge!" Osmond Finished his word for everyone inside the room, but then no mages that present inside raise their wand to take the task.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Osmond said again, but again everyone turn silent "Are there no Nobles that want to raise their fame by capturing Fouquet?" ask Osmond. It's not that simple…she's a mage that could control a giant golem high as the half of the academy main building itself
Of all people I've been guessing one person and my guesses was right, Louise raise her wand into the air "I'll go!" she said. Everyone turn surprised, I don't know it's because she was known as a mage that couldn't cast a spell or because she was brave yet arrogant!?
"I will do as well" Suddenly the tanned big breast woman next to her, known as Kirche raise her wand as well. "Zerbst?" Said Louise "Hmph I can't afford to lose to a Valliere" she said, WTF? This ain't kind of a duel, you were about to face a famous yet strong mage!
Tabitha suddenly raise her wa- I mean staff, she wear a staff not a wand "Tabitha? You don't have to. This is a problem between the two of us!" Kirche said. Excuse me? The two of you? The Fouquet just stole the thing called Staff of Destruction and this matter was just for you two!? It's for everyone else! "…I'm worried about you two" she said, she reminds me of Vasquez somehow. "Tabitha…" Kiche said.
"Hehe…then I will leave it to the three of you" Osmond "These two have witnessed the Fouquet, and beside the Miss Tabitha is a Chevalier Knight, at so young age!" Osmond Said, Knight!? What the… "a Knight!? Is that true Tabitha?" said Kirche, the Young Knight respond with a nod "furthermore, Miss Zerbst is from an established Military family in Germania, I hear that her flame magic is also very strong as well!"
"…And here is Miss Valliere over here is a daughther of the Valliere family uh… which has had several excellent mages, and…well..uh…" Osmond looks Confused, I see the reason why "uuh…Oh I get it, She has a familiar that I hear is a very excellent swordman who overwhelmed Guiche de Grammont, the son of General Gramont by himself!" Osmond explain, Excuse me!? Alone? I was there helping him! This is not right!
"That's right! He was the legendary Gand-…" Colber turn about to say something but he cancel it. I've got to help them, I was also one of the witness, I believe I was the closest witness yet I'm no mage, I raise my hand "Hm? Yes Kito?" Colbert ask me as everyone attention turn into me "I'm in"I said everyone gasp in surprised "B-but you're just a guard, this is a job for mage and witnesses of the inci-" Miss Loungeville about to denied me when I cut her word off "I witnesses the Fouquet, close…very close" my eyes turn to Miss Loungeville, "Yet I still have the right to get involved in this since I'm officially a guard in this Academy professor" I added.
Everyone silence again, I straight my posture "Once again I said, I'm ready for this task Professor!" I said in firm. Then Osmond nod his head "Alright I'll leave this task to capture the Fouquet as well to the five of you" he said, I nodded my head while Marco who were right behind me with his guard uniform smile manly I don't it was relieved or proud but, I had a feeling something's about to happen eventually. "I will serve as their Guide, Old Osmand" Miss Loungeville volunteers herself, hmm… "Will you do so Miss Loungeville?" Osmond said "Yup, I've intended to do so from the beginning" she said!
A few moments later
Tristain Academy of Magic, Academy front Gate
We're preparing ourselves for the task, Louise, Kirche, Saito, and Tabitha ready their wand, staff and supplies, Miss Loungeville's ready with her cart and me? I'm ready with my Sword and gear, I also bring my bag in case of anything happen or when I'm hungry, because I also carried a bit snack back from japan. "Kito!" I heard voices shouting at me, then I saw Vanessa, Stephanie, Brian and the rest of my team Running toward me "G-guys!?"
The first person who reaches toward me is Vanessa, and then she hit my head with her fist "OUCH! What was that for!?" I shout at her "That's for leaving without telling us!" She said, "Yeah Kito! Where are you going man!?" Thomas said "Kito" Brian suddenly appeared and his eyes show serious matter"Y-yes?" I answered "You're leaving and took a task without telling me…You Stupid Moron!" He shout and Hit my head with his helmet OUCH THAT HURT!
"Listen Guys I had to deal with this right now, that thief, The Fouquet are the one who steal the thing we've been guarding all this time an-" Brian suddenly shut my mouth off "Save that later right now, we've got to get going!" he said, Wait…get going? "Wait what? guys you're coming?"
"Yeah of course we are! We are team aren't we?" Thomas said with a smile on his face "B-but Vanessa and Stephanie you're still…" I see the two sisters are full with bandage on their heads, hands and feet. "Don't worry about us we're fine beside, It's Marco order for us to go with you!" Vanessa's said "Yeah it would be best if we all stick around together right?" Vanessa's little sister said.
"You guys..." I'm about to say my words when suddenly "Kito! Let's go the cart is ready!" Louise's shouting at me, now I know I'm not really that alone in this world, I've got my friends here and they won't leave me and either do I "Heh…Alright then shall we go!?" I shout at my team with cheer as my hands up in the air, we all shout as a team with our hands up in the air!
My new adventure is about to begin, and I'm not that lonely after all
(Part 2/2)
And that's the chapter 7 Part (2/2). I 'm really glad that I make it this far, and about Typo or any grammatical error…well I've tried my best to cover it but at the moment this is my best work, I'm not really that good on putting perfect words but as long as you all get what's up with the story, then that's good enough.
Anyway thanks for reading see you on the next one then, Cyaa!
