Louise want a dragon no? So let's give her an emperor dragon of Sekiryutei. Let's see a emperor become a slave!
Darkness That's all I see from my perspective. No one is around me. Not a living soul. I'm Hiraga Saito, a Sekiryutei or better put, was partnered up with Ddraig. He's dead as he sacrificed his own soul to save me. He gave me all his power but for what? To be cursed here for all eternity?! I don't regret that I was able to save my friends and my world but it's been more than six thousand years since it happened.I just want to go and see the world again but is it even possible for that to occur? As I continued to think these situations in my head, a green light started to repel the darkness. I looked in shock not knowing what is going on.
Meanwhile
"Miss Valliere! May I ask you why you have not summoned yet? A red haired woman with tan skin mocked the pink haired girl wondering why she was stalling. "I myself would love to see what kind of familiar you would summon to make my salamander look so inferior that is wouldn't hold a candle to your own." Her tone was filled with superiority showing that she won't bow her head to someone lower than her.
If Louise was smart, she wouldn't have even dared challenge any mage with any kind of magical ability. Unfortunately that was not the case. Louise was stubborn, stubborn enough to want to prove to everyone that she was no zero like her nickname suggested. Her pride was too big to accept defeat and she can only hope she would be able to summon a familiar that can rival if not best her salamander. She gripped her wand tightly clenching her teeth as she glared at her
"I will never lose myself to you Kirche! You and your lewd ways will never match up to me!" boasted Louise
"Then prove that your bite is as good as your bark or else you will just remain a Zero like your nickname" laughed Kirche.
At this point Louise was really ticked off, and since she had no comeback she simply walked towards the summoning circle ignoring any outside words trying to focus on the task at hand. Mr Colbert, who was a teacher overseeing the summoning, nodded to show his approval of the summoning ritual and the circle that Louise had stepped in had started glow/
"I beg of you… My slave who lives somewhere in the universe! Oh sacred, beautiful and strong familiar spirit! I desire and here I plead from my heart! Answer to my guidance!" chanted Louise while she pleaded in her head that the spell would not result in an explosion 'Please let it be a dragon, a griffin a cat or a dog don't care just prove I am not a Zero!'
A green and crimson light flooded from the middle of the circle before blinding everyone that was present. When the light cleared, in place of the circle was a boy who looked to be in his late teenage years. Though his hair was definitely out of the ordinary, being that the color was crimson. His eyes were also different, having a emerald color. He wore a black coat that matched his black pants and boots. He only scratched his head, being in a foreign place.
Louise couldn't believe it… After all that, all she got was a commoner that had an above average appearance.
"Wow, this makes all the things that you said worth it Zero! You really messed up big time! Summoning a commoner must be a sign! It must mean that you were meant to have no element at all!" jeered Montmorency. Louise couldn't just accept that this was her familiar. She turned to her teacher asking for a request.
"Mr Colbert, please allow me to do the ritual again! It must have been a mistake! I have never heard of a commoner as a familiar before!" argued Louise. The teacher was also awe-struck but he had to follow the rules which were strictly enforced.
"I am sorry Miss Valliere but I cannot allow you to redo the ritual. If I allow you to redo the ritual, I would be shaming the founder and the ritual itself. Not only that, if I allowed every mage that disliked his or her familiar to resummon then everyone here would try and try again until either they would be exhausted or we run out of ingredients therefore not allowing another mage to get his or her turn because of the lack of resources" retorted Professor Colbert.
Louise sighed after hearing such a response. She couldn't do anything and so she had a look of defeat on her face as it showed to the newcomer. She gave a last hopeless, pleading look at Mr Colbert before turning to her soon-to-be familiars. When suddenly Saito looked at her with a confused look. One question came to mind.
"Where am I?" asked Saito not caring who answered but wanted a response.
"You are at the prestigious Tristain Magic Academy" replied Colbert.
Saito blinked shortly until he looked up, seeing a castle and taking a pretty good guess that was where the people that were present at the moment were staying. He was also able to sense magic but everyone that was here was very low. Well except for one. He started to think of the name of the twin Colbert had gave him. "Tristain" 'I'm in another world or something? I'm not from my world?' Saito looked above where he was able to see the sky and couldn't understand how this world functioned. Two moon in the middle of day? He heard the term commoner and could only think to play along for now.
"Where and what is Tristain? I have never heard of it in my whole life" responded Saito
"Nonsense, what backwater country does not know what the Tristain Academy is? It is the most famous Magic school in history!" said Louise
'Good. That's a start, I think Maybe she's the one that had summoned me? She is cute but something is off with her magic. It's strong but low, like it hasn't been open yet.' His thoughts were snapped when someone interrupted.
"What a disappointment. You really are a zero. You not only summoned a commoners but you managed to get one from some backwater country that is probably thousands of years behind us" laughed Kirche, all the other students burst into laughter soon after her comment which resulted in making Louise turn red in embarrassment.
"What continent are we on?" asked Saito
"You are on the continent of Halkeginia, country of Tristain" replied Colbert
"How did I get here?" asked Saito
"I summoned you to be my familiar, so be honored you are even here, commoners rarely even set foot in the Academy" replied Louise. Saito was starting to question this commoner business.
"What is all this commoner stuff?"
"A commoner is someone who has no magical ability and no wealth."
"Okay, then what does that make you?"
"Oh, she should be a commoner as well since she lacks any talent in magic!" laughed one of the students that were looking on at this event.
"The summoning of a commoner proves it" added Kirche tacking on the jokes. This was starting to get under Louise's skin.
"Shut up!" screamed Louise
"Now, now, settle down…" Colbert ordered trying to keep peace.
"Anyway, onto the matter at hand, why am I summoned?" asked Saito trying to get back on topic. He needed answers.
"You are summoned to be Miss Valliere's familiar" replied Colbert
"You mean like one of those pets that magicians have? Like a dog, cat, wolf?" asked Saito
"Yes. That's a accurate assumption you made" said Colbert
"Now Miss Vallière, complete the Springtime Familiar Summoning ritual. Because commoner or not, he is your familiar as determined by this sacred ceremony."
'A contract? Well, better being here than being stuck doing nothing. Now what is this contract about?' Saito was quickly thinking until seeing the girl that had summoned.
"My name is Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière. Pentagon that governs the five powers, give this person your blessing and make it my familiar spirit."
'That is a very weird name to have. Though the world also have it's share of weirdness.' He looked up noticing the pink haired girl had started to move forward getting close to him. Louise then held his head, his eyes now showing confusion at this weird yet not horrible situation, before Louise leaned in and kissed him on his lips. Saito could only think of one thing at the moment. 'Hmm strawberry.' The kiss ended briefly and she moved away from him.
"Again Miss Vallière, well done. It seems you had no trouble with the 'Contract Servant' spell." the older man said, though for a familiar see to be a human boy. Saito groaned as he felt something inside him stirring
"Wha-" he cut off as his aforementioned instincts screamed something was wrong. A magic power that was not his own flooded into him as his body began to heat up and turn red "What?" his voice seemed to echo, "What's happening!" he asked as the magic settled, though the pain remained, throughout the entirety of his body and literally simmered just underneath his skin.
"It'll end soon." he heard Louise say.. "The Familiar's Runes are being inscribed."
Before he could have a chance to respond the foreign magic surged to his left hand, making it as if a holy sword had pierced right through with a vengence. While holding back a grunt of pain, he brought the hand up and saw symbols of some sort were shining from the top of his palm. The hand itself was giving off small twitches. The symbols flared brightly as the pain rose to new heights before finally dimming completely, the pain going along with it. After standing up he looked at his hand again; the symbols now looked like an old scar and were permanent.
'It felt like my power as a Sekiryutei was back, like in the time where Ddraig was alive, but with a bit of something 's else.' Saito was giving a small evaluation at this new power he felt.
"Hmm, these are very unusual Runes." the man with the staff said, "Time to go back to class everyone." After which Colbert turned on his heel and rose gently into the air. The other kids also floated up and away, saying something he didn't quite catch but seemed to annoy Louise, before heading to the castle not to far from where they were
"Come familiar!" He turned to see that the girl he thought was called Louise had already started moving towards the castle.
'Might as well play along for now. I need some more information and my new "master" seems to be all type of fun. Though he needed to clear some things with this brat if it was to continue.' He heard an outside voice and shortly after realized his 'master,' was asking him a question.
"You, Familiar, what is your name?" she demanded. He waited a moment, as he thinks what to answer.
"Hiraga Saito."
"Hirara Saitro? What a strange name."
'I don't want to hear that from you with a name like yours.' He was slightly irritated at the criticism he had received. "Just Saito is fine. If you prefer not to, you can call me Welsh but I don't use the name very much."
"Welsh? That's a very unique name for a commoner."
"Thanks?" He couldn't tell if that was a compliment. What may your name be my master?"
"Don't address a noble with that kind of classless tone. My name is Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière. Remember it as you are my familiar so I can't let my familiar speak to me like he is an equal."
"Very well Louise" say Saito with a smirk on face taking a small liking to how she responded. 'Yes the brat don't even have a clue what he summon' he thought quickly as they continued to move. He soon remembered a question that would be vital at the moment.
"Louise, where am I supposed to sleep?"
"First don't call me by my name. You are just a lower servant, a dog and as for sleep, you will sleep in my room at the dorming area. Come with me"
"How should I call you?" He didn't want this brat to continue it's high class and spoiled tone so he wanted to bypass it.
"Master or Lady Louise."
"Very well My-lady."
"Hmm good way to start." Saito took notice of the castle itself.
'The castle have a strange design and a form that can't resist a attack but is very strengthened with magic How could-' he started until again he was cut off by his master's voice.
"We are here"
"Where?"
"My room. Now enter." The selected room was very big with a queen size bed, a table and a pile of a haystack on the ground.
'I have a bad premonition about where my bed is.' Even through the thought, he still had to ask. "So where is my bed?" Louise point with her index finger for the pile of straw 'Yep my premonition is true.' He sighed and then had to bring up a point. "You expect a human to sleep in a pile of straw?"
"You are not a human you are just a familiar and a commoner so this is good for you." He did not understand this logic.
'It's a very big problem with a commoner and noble here. Hm, let's make fun of her more for now and see how she would have reacted with a different familiar.' Shortly he was able to come up with something.
"And if you were to summon a griffin or a Dragon, where would you let him sleep?" For some reason, her face showed a hint of red on her cheeks.
"I I i… I didn't think I could summon one. I summoned a commoner, there was no way I could have summoned a dragon. Were you trying to make a fool out of me? No meals for you!" Saito could only sigh and scratch the back of his head.
'You don't even have an idea about what you had summoned don't you?' he quickly thought not expecting anyone to hear it.
"You said that right now?"
"What did I say?"
"I don't have an idea what I summon don't I?"
"No my lady, I did not said such words." His mind went to work quickly. 'Hmm so it seems like the girl can hear my thoughts.' He grew a razor sharp smirk intrigued by this. 'Very interesting!'
"I'm going to sleep now. I want you to wake me up in the morning and wash my clothes." The only thing that came to mind was that he would be doing chores. How about that? She threw her clothes onto his face and had put on night pajamas.
"Master can I go and inspect the castle? I don't really need to sleep today so I can use the time that I am free." He was just coming up with an excuse.
"Hmm." She was contemplating the idea before coming to a conclusion. "Very well. You can inspect it as it's a good idea to know the place if I need you to do run an errand." She turned in her bed away from him already giving him the okay.
"Very well My-lady. I am going now. Good night."
