(Ilua's POV)

It's been some time since the first time i entered Louise's room. When we met for the first time, she treated me like an servant, the same way i expected a arrogant noble to do. Also, i'm being treated more humanly that i expected. One exemple is when it's the time for the meals, she let's me inside the dining hall and ignores the scornful looks from the other noble kids. She let's me sit on the table and eat normally.

And i have to say that the food here is completely delicious. Later that day, after the lunch was over and Louise went to her class, i went to the servant quarters to thank for the meal and give my praises to the chef. They were pretty surprised, actually. I also met Siesta and chated a bit with her.

I explored a bit the academy, and took a look at the academy. Before the class time was over, i went to Louise's classroom to fetch her and follow her like the other familiars do. She doesn't talk too much, and when she talks, she usually give me orders. Well, even thought it has been some days, i can get some of her personality, just enought to know that i shouldn't think bad of her...

But also to don't have any high hopes either. People lie, decieve and betray if it means that it will be good for them. Althought not all humans are like that, i've seen too much betrayal to lose my waryness. And so, our peaceful days went by. I must admit that i'm quite enjoying this.

Today is a special day for the students of this school. It's an day where they have no class, instead, it's an "social" day. Simply, a tea party. Only the students of the second year or above can have this party, the students of the first year still need to attend to the classes. We are in the space between the earth and the wind tower, where various pricy tables are set with pricy chairs. Very fancy.

It's a great sunny day today, with an enjoyable temperature. I'm moving around, helping the servants to serve the noble kids tea and cakes as a way of paying for the cooking lessons that i'm taking at the kitchen. Yes, i'm learning to cook, mostly from Sierra. She's a great teacher. Anyway, as i walk around, i hear a small conversation on the shadows of the way of the main tower to the earth tower, since the party is happening beside the way between the two towers.

(girl): "Guiche-sama, i've made these by myself, please, accept!"

Said a girl. From the color of her mantle, i can see that's she is from the first year. She's a pretty girl. Also, she's a bit famous, since she's a commoner that's able to use magic and joined this Academy. Katie, i think. Quite a rare thing, actually. The boy wich she is talking is a handsome boy with blonde hair, using his uniform in quite a "glamurous" way, exposing his chest from the gaps of the shirt.

Guiche... de Gramont, was it? From what i heard from the servants, he's quite a ladykiller. Althought he should have a girlfriend.

(Guiche): "M-my dear Katie, why did you came here?"

He asked nevously. Well, i want to know that too, since she should be in class right now. Also, the penality for skipping classes is quite heavy.

(Katie): "Our teacher for today is sick, so my class is free today too! Since it's like that, i decided to make a surprise for Guiche-sama with some of my home-made cakes!"

She said with a pure smile. Ouch, how bright... my eyes hurt. She's quite innocent, isn't she? While he tries to make Katie go away without any big fuss, i can see his doom coming to his direction.

It's his suposed girlfriend, Montmolenki... Montnorensi... Monmon. She's a quite cute girl, with drilled, long blonde hair and blue eyes, combined with a fair, white skin. Her pretty face is twisted with fury right now. Kukuku, it seems that it will be a blood bath. Sorry for you, Guiche, but it will be a good lesson for you. Bear the responsability.

(Monmon): "Guiche! Who is this girl?!"

(Guiche): "Oh! My beloved Montmorency! This girl? She's just a crazy girl that claims to know me!"

...Wait, what? Are you serious, your shit? Blame the girl?

Monmon then glared at the girl. Katie, flustered, looked at Guiche completely shocked.

(Katie): "Guiche...sama..."

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Shocked, she calls for Guiche. He looks to her with arrogant eyes. Montmorency is ready to scream at the girl. As a commoner, she can't talk back to a noble. Oh my, what a trouble. Before Monmon could speak anything, i show up between them.

(Ilua): "It seems that Milady is having an misundertaining."

Guiche looks at me dumbfounded, and Monmon looks at me confused. Katie, behind me, is even more shocked.

(Monmon): "Ho~h, you're is Zero's familiar... What i'm misundertaining here?"

(Ilua): "This girl, Katie, really came here looking for Guiche, but it's because he's been hitting on her since some time ago. She didn't knew that Milady was Guiche's girlfriend, so she came here to give him a surprise since her teacher is sick and she won't be having classes today."

I explained. Guiche paled at my words and Monmon face distorted in anger.

(Monmon): "So the rumors that you were playing with other girls behind my back were true, Guiche!"

She screamed at him. He tried to reply, but Monmon just slapped his face, leaving a bright red palm on his face. Then, Monmon walked away fuming with anger while the onther nobles watched. He glared at me. Well, he should be angry, after all, take a slap like this will ashame any noble.

(Guiche): "You rascal! Why did you had to mendle in my business!"

He screamed.

(Ilua): "Of coure i did it. How can i watch as you throw your own imbecility and fault at an innocent girl that you draged in the problem? You should be ashamed to call yourself an man!"

I answered angrily. The other nobles looked at our discussion, shocked. To think that a commoner would talk like that to a noble, it should what they are thinking right now. With my perception, i can feel Louise running at our direction.

(Guiche): "How dare you! I challenge you to a duel!"

(Louise): "Guiche, wait! We can tal-!"

(Ilua): "I accept your challenge!"

I said, interupting Louise. I really want to beat some sense in this boy.

(Guiche): "Great! Meet me in front of the servan quarters in two minutes! I will give you a lesson!"

He said, and then walked off. The whole second year followed him, whispering between themselves. I turned around to look at Katie, who's looking at me, dazed, unable to keep up with the sequence of events.

(Ilua): "Do you want to see?"

(Katie): "A-ah... y-y-yes..."

She faintly nods. Then, i walk off, with her and Louise following me.

(Louise): "What the hell you did?! Guiche is a powerful earth mage! He won't stop until he have crippled you or killed you!"

(Ilua): "It will take more then just an spoiled brat to even make me feel something."

She stayed silent, shocked. Before she could say anything else, we got to the servant quarters. There, a big circle of students is formed. They open the way as walk in their direction, some of the jeering at me.

(Ilua): "You both, stay here, and watch carefully."

I stop as soon as we went trought the students. In the middle of the circle, Guiche is looking at me with an arrogant face. I turn around and look at Louise. She flich as i look at her.

(Ilua): "I'll show to you. The power of you familiar."

Then, i walk to the center of the circle.

(Guiche): "You really came, i can't belive how stupid you ar-."

(Ilua): "Shut up already, i came here to kick you ass, not to talk."

He frowned and glared at me. We're six meters apart from each other. He then takes a rose from go-knows-where and says.

(Guiche): "I won't let you fight against me disarmed, i have the honor of a noble, after all. Here."

He waved the rose. Then, an petal flew from it, and landed right in front of me. The petal glowed softly and from the glow a pretty longsword wit rose decorations came off from the ground. I just laughted at his exhibition. He frowns at me.

(Guiche): "So do you plan to fight me barehanded?"

(Ilua): "I should, just to ashame you more... but i have honor too. I'll fight with you with wepons, but with some of my own."

As i say that, a dense fog cover my hands. Everyone looks at me surprised. The fog extend foward, and when it disperses, i have two longswords on both my hands. I give him a smug smile.

(Ilua): "I have honor, but i won't wait too much for your preparations."

He then frowns at me again and wave his rose. Sixteen petals come off this time, and, when they touch the ground, they glow strongly. From the light, sixteen armors come out... no, althought different from what i saw before, these probably are golems or summoned monsters. A summoner, huh? Nothing that i didn't already killed before.

(Guiche): "Kill him."

The golems advanced in my direction. The first attack was simple, as all of them were wielding spears, one of the thrusted at me head while another attacked my stomach. With my swords, i deflected the attacks at the same time while stepping foward. Against an spear wielder, the best strategy is to step closer, destroying the only advantage of the spear.

I moved both my hands at the same time, cutting both golems in half. Althought this swords aren't enchanted with anything and can be considered the weakest swords, they can be considred also as legendary wepons due their resistence and never ending sharpness. With my master footwork, i almost danced between the golems, cutting them with only one stroke.

In an instant, all of them were cuted off. I glared at Guiche.

(Ilua): "That's all?"

He angrily clicked his tongue and violently waved his rose, making a lot of petals come off and creating a lot of golems. I just repeated what i just did, evadin all of the attacks and cuting them with only one strike. Then, after i got closer to Guiche's position, i suddenly jumped foward, stoping right in front of him, with both swords on his neck.

(Ilua): "And you're dead."

I said, staring at his eyes releasing a small bloodthirst. He trembled with fear and fell on the ground with an scared face. Well, for now, i suceeded in scaring him. I turned around and threw my swords on the ground. Before they gould touch the grass, they were swallowed by a thick fog, disappearing. As i walk, the students open the way.

I think that i'll go see Siesta, i'm hungry.
