"Stop it! There's no way a commoner can beat a noble," said Louise, trying to talk Jan out of fighting Guiche.
"Don't look down on me," Jan grinned while wiping off the blood on his lip. "I can take it." He got up and rubbed out the wrinkles in his shirt. His Geki had been messed up during the summoning but now he could feel his Tiger Geki returning. Now it was pay back time.
Guiche had his Bronze Golem ready to attack and the emerald knight struck forward with a fist. The other students of the Tristian Academy were expecting Jan to get pummeled but instead Louise's familiar was able to dodge and then. Guiche commanded his golem to attack but the summoned creature was unable to land a hit on Jan. Louise was stunned by her familiar's agility.
"Stand still!" commanded Guiche.
"OK!" grinned Jan as he stood a few feet away from the charging bronze golem. He then called out his Geki and struck, "Gekiwaza! Hou Hou Dan!"
Much to everyone's amazement, Guiche and Louise's especially, a red aura projection flew out from Jan and became a red tiger. It ripped the bronze golem apart with its claws and let out a roar before vanishing.
"What!?" exclaimed Guiche. "Impossible! A commoner can't use magic!"
"That wasn't magic," Jan explained. "That was my Geki. But if you want to see another trick, look at this!" He spread his arms to the side, "Tagire! Power of the Beasts!" He punched his right fist into his left palm. "Beast On!" He pressed the fingers of his left palm onto the panels on top of his right knuckle. His entire body flashed. When the flash died down, the commoner had changed.
"Infinite power flows in my body. 'Unbreakable Body,' GekiRed!"
Jan was donned in a red bodysuit that was styled like a tiger with a red helmet that had a black visor. It was styled like a tiger along with the rest of his outfit. His hands were still donned in those strange gauntlets he always wore. The students were all gaping at what they were seeing Louise the Zero's familiar was really capable of.
"Who cares what you can do! You're still a commoner to me and Louise is still a zero!" Guiche frowned as he summoned more golems.
"Don't say bad stuff about Pinku!" GekiRed frowned.
"Stop calling me that!" Louise shouted angrily. "Call me Mistress! How many times do I have to say it?!"
GekiRed ignored her in favor of facing the golems. Going into a stance, he charged straight at the golems with all the might his red tiger Geki gave him. However, Guiche summoned more golems to attack Jan and the red GekiRanger decided to even the odds.
"GekiSabre!" called out GekiRed as he summoned a pair of swords into his hands. Using his swords, he sliced at the golems around him. This stunned Guiche but he wasn't going to let a commoner humiliate him. With a wave of his rose, he summoned a dozen more golems.
"Gekiwaza!" called out GekiRed as his aura turned blue. He combined both swords into one larger and sharper blade. "Nami Nami Zan!" Surging forward, he struck at the remaining golems and sliced them to pieces with his sword. When he reached Guiche, he held the tip of the combined GekiSabre at his opponent's throat. In fear and shock, Guiche dropped on his rear.
"Iā¦give up," Guiche said pathetically.
The fight between Jan and Guiche was the only thing anyone could talk about. They didn't know how he managed to do what he did, but Jan was somehow able to do magic just the same. Well, he called it Geki, but all the students figured that was what they called magic where he came from. Still, using a weapon with his power was something unheard of.
"I order you to tell me where you learned that stuff!" Louise barked as Jan yet again ate at the table with the apprentices, as if he was equal to them. No one seemed to be able to convince him how things worked so they gave up. Let punishment befall on his head if he wouldn't listen.
"I told you!" Jan huffed. "I learned from Neko!"
"Cat's don't teach people mystic arts!" Louise snapped.
"It's GekiJyuKen! Not magic!" Jan retorted.
"I want to know where you learned it!"
"Pinku needs to learn how to listen," Jan sighed.
"And stop calling me that!" Louise cried, near desperation. Though she felt a little smug that she got a powerful familiar in Jan, it was frustrating that he was so stubborn. He kept calling his type of magic Geki and she wanted to know where he learnt it. He kept talking about a cat teaching him his magic. The reason she'd asked was because she wanted to learn too but she wasn't going to say it.
"Does Pinku want to learn GekiJyuKen?" Jan asked curiously.
A commoner teaching a noble? That was unheard of and also degrading to her status. Still, he'd offered though. It was only polite to accept. "What makes you think I can?"
"Anyone can do GekiJyuKen!" Jan said cheerfully. "I can teach you the basics too."
"OK, fine," sighed Louise. "But I am still the master here."
"OK, Pinku!"
"And stop calling me that!"
