Prologue

"Where am I?" Groaning to myself I rubbed my head as I attempted to get up only to be stopped by an angry looking girl.

She appeared to be roughly around my age although she was quite short. She had reddish brown eyes, pristine white skin and strawberry blonde hair. She was dressed with some kind of uniform, a black cloak with a white blouse underneath and a gray pleated skirt.

"Who are you?" asked the girl as she examined my face intensely, casually ignoring the fact that my clothes was in tatters and that I was heavily injured.

"..." I ignored her and closed my eyes before taking a deep breath to calm myself. Calming down I opened my eyes again and I was graced with the same sight an angry looking girl dressed in some weird uniform. Sighing to myself, I had hoped that it was just a dream, hallucination or an illusion because I could no longer feel Miyu's connection to me, but I guess it was real, that I was sucked into some weird green portal after my battle with Angelica and the conclusion of the holy grail war. At least I know that Miyu is safe considering that my wish was granted but ...

"urgh" I heard a groan right beside me, a boy roughly my age was sprawled out on the grass. He had blue eyes, wheat coloured skin and black hair. He was dressed in a blue loose long sleeved jacket, with a raised collar over his short sleeve white t shirt. He was also wearing a pair of black jeans alongside with some blue and white sneakers.

"Hey I asked you a question commoner." The girl asked me angrily as she waved her little stick in her hand, was that meant to be a threat?

"... Trace on" I reinforced my body in preparation, I didn't know where I was and how I got here but it was best to play it safe for now. Extending my senses, I noticed that I was surrounded by people all wearing the same uniform with all different kinds of sticks within their hand. On the horizon far off into the distance, was a huge stone castle ontop of a grassy plain.

"Hey don't ignore me." There was also animals and phantasmal beings beside them, but judging from my senses they were pathetically weak in comparison to what Kiritsugu told me, still it could just be a front.

"What's this Louise not only did you summon an injured commoner with 'summon servant' but you can't even make him answer a simple question?" A blond man asked in a mocking tone as everyone around him started to laugh.

"Shut up I .. I just made a little mistake!" Louise snapped back in frustration at the taunts.

"Mistake? What are you talking about? Nothing unusual happened."

"Of course! After all, she's Louise the Zero!" someone else said, and the crowd burst into laughter again.

"Um where am I and who are you guys? The boy beside me asked in confusion as he just woke up to a weird sight.

"Would you look at that, Louise the zero managed to summon another commoner as well! Truly you are on fire today my lady." The crowd started to laugh again while the boy just looked plain confused.

"Mr. Colbert!" Louise shouted, clearly she had enough of this situation.

The crowd parted, revealing a middle-aged man. He carried a big wooden staff and was covered in a black robe.

"What is it that you want from me, Miss Vallière?"

"Please! Let me try the summoning one more time!"

My ears perked up at the word summoning, was this the cause that threw me to this unknown place away from Miyu?

Mr. Colbert, the man wearing the black robe, shook his head. "I cannot allow that, Miss Vallière."

"Why not?"

"It is strictly forbidden. When you are promoted to a second year student, you must summon a familiar, which is what you just did."

A familiar? So they were magi but something doesn't make sense here, you don't summon a familiar you create one. Summoning is completely different and falls in another category. Which means either I was taught incorrectly or this is a different world entirely. That being said It would make alot of sense as to why there are phantasmal beings and why they were so weak in comparison, but the question is how could I find my way back to Miyu then, if this is a different world.

"Your elemental speciality is decided by the familiar that you summon. It enables you to advance to the appropriate courses for that element. You cannot change the familiar once you have summoned it because the 'Springtime Familiar Summoning' is a sacred rite. Whether you like it or not, you have no choice but to take them."

Maybe If I reverse engineer the spell that summoned me here in the first place I could go back? No that wouldn't work first of all Miyu isn't in that world anymore, and second summoning spells usually require a catalyst or anchor on the other side to work. That being said If I discover the principles behind this mystery then I could create a new magecraft that would allow me to ... who am I trying to fool, outside my specialities I am rather mediocre below average one could say. Nevertheless it doesn't mean I shouldn't try ... maybe I could make that girl take responsibility for her actions.

"But... I've never heard of having a commoner as a familiar! or two in fact!"

Everyone around laughed. Louise scowled at them, but the laughter didn't stop rather they grew instead.

"This is a tradition, Miss Vallière. I cannot allow any exceptions." The middle-aged man pointed at me and the boy. "they may be commoners, but as long as they was summoned by you, they must be your familiars. Never in history has a human been summoned as a familiar let alone two, but the Springtime Familiar Summoning takes precedence over every rule. In other words, there is no other way around it, they must become your familiars."

"You have got to be joking..." Louise drooped her shoulders in disappointment.

"Well then, continue with the ceremony."

"With them?"

"Yes, with them. Hurry. The next class will begin any minute. How much more time is this summoning going to take? After mistake upon mistake, you have finally managed to summon something even if it is unusual. Hurry and form a contract." Everyone voiced their agreement and began jeering at the girl. While me and the boy just stood uncomfortably still in silence as this unfolded.

Turning around to face me, Louise stared at my face as if she was troubled.

"..." I stared back at her in silence.

"Hey," Louise addressed me.

"..."

"You should count yourself lucky. Normally, you'd go your whole life without a noble doing this to you."

"..."

"Say something!" Louise let out a huge sigh as she resolved herself for what lies ahead. She was groaning softly as she mumbled to herself but to my reinforced ears I caught every word.

"To think that I the third daughter of the Vallière family... a noble who takes pride in her proper pedigree and ancient lineage, end up having to make a mute commoner my familiar. "

Louise closed her eyes with an air of resignation. She waved around the wooden stick in her hand.

"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers; bless this humble being and make him my familiar."

She chanted those words over and over, like a magic spell, and touched my forehead with the stick. Her lips then slowly drew closer to seal the contract.

"..." I didn't know what she was doing but I could sense the magical energy coming from her and the stick which was used as a conduit. Judging from the context of things she was trying to create a magical contract with me, one with me as her familiar. But I wasn't having any of that I could accept one of equal trade but not one of master and slave.

"Just stay still." Louise said, a touch of irritation in her voice as I moved back a step. Her face got closer.

"..." I had to change the contract but how? I wasn't exactly the best at other magecrafts especially since I inherited Archer's element and his origin combined with mine. I took another step back to buy time as I saw her face go closer.

"Ah, geez! I told you to stay still!" Louise was having none of this cat and mouse games, she grabbed my face roughly with her left hand. While I could have easily dodged it, I decided to let it go since I had already devised of a method to change the spell.

The moment Louise's lips touched mine, I flooded her with my prana forcibly trying to overwrite the spell with my own. While the familiar contracting may seemed to have worked, it would in fact be a contract of equality, in exchange for obeying her commands she would be forced to pay something in equivalence for my services. With this I could use her as a springboard to find a way to Miyu, and learn more about this world.

A second has passed and Louise attempted to break off the kiss as she thought that would be enough to complete the spell. However I refused to let her lips part from mine. I haven't completed the overwriting, it was proving much more difficult than I anticipated as our magical energies was too different from one another, causing them to conflict but nevertheless I could tell it was working all I needed was a bit more time.

Moving forward I manoeuvred my tongue deep within her mouth as I attempted to emulate an adult's kiss in order to distract her. Her face was turning crimson in response to my actions as she attempted to protest before giving up. Taking the lead despite having no experience, my tongue clumsily intertwining with hers in slow motion as I attempted to stimulate her erogenous zones, our saliva mixing together during the process.

For a couple of seconds all was silent, the only sounds that could be heard was me making out with Louise as our kiss intensified. Overwriting complete, finally it was over I had completed my objective, now it was time to release the maiden and suffer the consequences. My lips parting from hers in slow motion as a thin line of saliva could be seen when we separated.

"..." Louise was in a daze, unable to release her womanly fury onto me as she was still shell-shocked from the experience.

"..." I must have went too far with my actions, still if it was any consolation that was my first kiss and judging by her response it was hers too.

"Are you okay?" Feeling a bit guilty at what I've done, I asked her out of concern as she appeared to be blushing furiously with a blank look on her face.

Hearing me speak for the first time must have awakened her from the daze as she started to shout at me. "You You You How dare you that was my first." She didn't get to finish her sentence as Mr Colbert coughed loudly before pointing at the boy's direction.

""You may have failed 'Summon Servant' many times, but you have managed to succeed with 'Contract Servant' in one try." Colbert said happily as he witnessed a rare sight. It made him delighted as a teacher, to see a student improve no matter how slight.

"But you still have one more familiar to go Louise." Once more he pointed at the boy's direction as if to remind her she still had one more to do.

"... yes Mr Colbert." Louise said that with a subdued voice as she tried to calm herself down.

"I am a noble of the Vallière family, it is beneath me to act so uncivilised." She mumbled to herself as if she was desperately trying to convince herself not to attack me.

Despite saying that Louise still looked in my direction with a look of vengeance in her eyes before turning them onto the boy. Giving a small yelp the boy shivered for a moment as he received the full blast of her invisible wrath, before becoming completely still.

Once again she started the same process that she did with me, but this time she was far more careful in her actions. Clearly she was worried of a certain offence being repeated.

"..." I felt a sharp pain run through my right hand as if I was cut by a sharp knife. On the back of my hand was a strange symbol that slowly started to form into some sort of magical crest. The symbol was shaped in the form of a sword with a star shaped guard. "Argh." I felt another wave of pain when the strange symbol integrated itself with my magical circuits, and started to heat up giving me the sensation of being burnt alive.

My small cry of pain didn't go unnoticed as Mr Colbert approached me. "That was quick..." The middle aged magus mumbled to himself as he inspected the back of my right hand. "Hmmm.. This is very unusual indeed, normally runes would be inscribed onto the familiar but this seems to be a symbol instead."

A loud shriek of pain was heard from Louise and the boy, interrupting the magus from contemplating further about the weird marking on the back of my hand.

"Hmmm .. I should leave this matter for now." The magus turned his face upwards to face me, before he asked me a question." I beg your pardon but may I ask for your name?"

"... Shirou Emiya."

"Shirou it was nice meeting you. My name is Jean Colbert" He offered his right hand in a friendly gesture, one which I took with my own. After a firm handshake, the magus left towards Louise and the boy. No doubt he was going to check the boy for the runic inscriptions to see if the spell succeeded.

"..." Staring at my own mark, I felt a sinking feeling within my stomach as I thought about the way the magus acted upon seeing the symbol and my own knowledge of magecraft. Was this really the contract I created?

"Hey familiar come over here right now!" Louise was calling for me a couple of metres away with the boy who was currently kneeling on the grass. I guess answers would have to wait for now.
