AN: Sorry for the late update, I've been busy and this chapter was a bit difficult to produce as I was unable to think of what to do for a while. Thank you for your patience.

Then:
"I hadn't had anything to eat for a few days and had used up a lot of energy, so much so that I passed out, out of starvation," replied Saito while blushing in embarrassment and scratching the back of his head.
After that explanation Saito and the others went their separate ways for the day. Everyone had to contemplate what they learned, even Louise wasn't demanding of Saito the entire day and at night, as Saito slept she still couldn't believe it all.
Now:
As the sun rose, Saito is seen washing all of the cloths belonging to Louise in a bucket of water. He is using telekinesis to spin the cloths in the bucket at a fast pace. (Almost like a washing machine). As he decided that it was enough, he decided to give them a quick dry by spinning them in the air for a few minutes before folding them with telekinesis.
Saito's telekinesis is actually pretty weak as he needs great concentration in order to use it, and the weight he can carry with this ability is pretty low, about 50lb. being the limit of his telekinesis. (A/N: that is a lot of weight for a telekinetic to carry actually)
As he put away the clothes to take back up, he noticed a heavily guarded carriage coming through the front gates of the school. Just by looking at the design of the carriage, Saito that someone of noble or royal standing was visiting the school, but for the life of him he couldn't see anything good in this. After everything he did to get rid of the nobles that were controlling the world from the shadows, he wasn't eager to get involved with the nobles of this world. As that thought went through his head he went back to leave the laundry in Louise's room so that he can go out and train for while after getting breakfast from the chief.
"Hey Louise, I'm done for the day, so you can get off my back about chores," said Saito, "oh and by the way a very fancy carriage came through the front with a lot of armed guards, does that mean anything to you or is it a surprise to you too?"
"Ah!" yelled Louise as she realized what today is, "Today is the day the princess arrives and tomorrow we are to show off our familiars to her in a contest of grace, beauty, and power," she looked at Saito expectantly, "Saito, you have a few techniques that can help make something amazing right?"
"Forget about it," says Saito, "I'm not going to perform or become a form of entertainment for a spoiled princess that doesn't even know terror of war, forget it."
"Saito please," begged Louise, "I need your help for this, I don't care what you do please just show off and I'll make sure you get a feast worthy of a king, please." Louise was shaking him in desperation, annoying him to the point that he gave in.
"Fine, I'll help just shut up," screamed Saito, "Honestly, you're annoyingly persistent to the point of an aneurism. I'll be out training until nightfall, so don't expect me back anytime soon ok?"
Nightfall: (A/N: the training is similar to what Goku does in DB, DBZ)
"It seems that I finally regained all my strength since the sudden transfer to this world. I was feeling weaker thanks to that magic," commented Saito, "Hey, Derflinger, when was the performance supposed to be again?"
"It's tomorrow," replied Derflinger, "why, what do you have in mind for the performance partner?"
"Don't worry about it, but you should know I won't do any sword tricks that are flashy, it's not my style to show off grace."
"So what are you thinking of doing then?"
"You'll see," said Saito with a mischievous grin.
The Next Morning:
All the second year students are present with their familiars and Louise was nervous. You see Saito came back to the room later than expected and missed the queen sneaking into the room to speak with Louise and when he did return he demanded a feast in the morning and went straight to sleep right after that. She's worried about what he is going to do for the performance and hasn't said what he plans to do.
As each student show cases one familiar after the other it quickly became Louise's turn to show off her familiar, but there is just one problem, Saito still hasn't appeared yet. As Louise is ushered up on stage, she is panicking because she doesn't know what to do, so she does what she always does when nervous or scared, scream.
"Saito, where the hell are you!?" she screamed while looking around, everyone starts to laugh commenting about her having a disobedient familiar.
Suddenly a crash and a cloud of dust is seen right behind Louise.
Flashback: 5 minutes ago
On the top of the tower overlooking the event is Saito waiting for the right moment to appear and teach the nobles a lesson they won't soon forget. That lesson is the true power of Saito Hiraga, superior being experiment of earth under the nobles' orders. Essentially a weapon of war all to satisfy the corrupt nobles of earth. As it stands now Saito hates any and all forms of corruption, so he has decided to announce where he stands right now instead of waiting to be manipulated by this world's nobles.
"So, Derflinger, do you think I made the wait long enough?" asked Saito.
"Your call partner, I'm just here for when you need me," replied Derflinger.
"Then I guess I shouldn't keep them waiting, huh, I've kept in suspense long enough."
With that said Saito jumped and aimed for the spot right behind Louise.
Flashback End:
As the cloud dispersed standing tall behind a shocked Louise is Saito with a shadow cast over his face and a scary grin and gleam in his eyes.
"So, I guess I have to put a show on, don't I?" asked Saito, "Let us begin then hahahaha!"
With that Saito started to charge up a lot of energy, and because he's back to full strength, he made the ground shake and small particles (dust and rocks) defy gravity. Then, just as sparks started to fly around his body, small balls of light started to fly up to eye level and shoot towards Saito at extreme speeds. Saito saw them come at him, and he deflected them all. They left a trail of sparkling dust in the air around him as the energy from each ball dispersed from the impact with his hand. Finally, when the last one hit it was over.
Silence was all that remained along with a sense of fear, which lingered as everything went back to normal for the students; however, the princess was not scared, instead, she was excited to see such a display and knew she was safe with her guards there to protect her. A sudden snapping of fingers then grunts of pain from her guards snapped her out of this sense of security. Saito had been irritated by the fact that the princess thought she was invulnerable or safe as long as she has guards, so he took out her guards and is now "threatening" her life with a Ki ball where her heart would be.
"Don't think for a moment that you're safe from the world just because your royalty, your arrogance is annoying," said Saito, "On my planet there are no more royals, and guess who got rid of them?" Saito asked, then he pointed at himself and said, "Me, so don't think that you are safe because if I feel that the royals of this world are also corrupt, then I will kill you all. Man, woman, child, it doesn't matter to me cause I will end the corruption to preserve the peace." The Ki ball disperses with a wave of his hand and he says, "Relay this message to all the royals, you get one warning, that was it."
With that came the end of the showcase performance, and Saito was walking around the back, when suddenly a giant earth golem rose up and tried to destroy a section of the wall of the central tower. Saito doesn't know this but a mage who was removed from power as a noble decided to start steeling from nobles out of spite, and that person was here while those guarding the vault in the academy were guarding the princess from any further "attacks" from people. This thief decided that this was the perfect time to try and steel something known as the "rod of destruction" for their own personal gain.
With that the golem started to punch exactly at the spot where the vault is 3 stories up. Saito took out his sonic screw driver and scanned the golem and the place that the golem was hitting. He concluded that the golem can't break through at all and that he should do nothing to stop the golem. This of course didn't stop Louise from trying when she saw it after following Saito to scold him for his actions. It barely cracked the arm of the golem, so the sorcerer felt obligated to appear to deal with Louise and Saito.
The golem, after it repaired itself, grabbed Louise in one hand causing her to swing her wand franticly and sending attacks everywhere including the exact place the golem was hitting. As soon as the attack hit it cracked the wall surprising the sorcerer and Saito. The sorcerer took the advantage as Saito destroyed the arm holding Louise she destroyed the wall and got what she wanted before leaving in a cloud of smoke created by her collapsing golem. Louise wants Saito to follow her, but Saito said no because it wasn't his fight.
A/N: I'm sorry this was so late, but I have been busy these past months. I'm trying to keep up with school. I'm studying psychology, so it is hard to keep up with this story. I will not give up on it. I will finish it. Added a new selection to the poll for those who have asked.
