Trinity: Omniverse Traveling Cat

Chapter 98

While he let Kirche leading him through the corridors, they soon exit the tower, directly outside in the garden.

"Kirche, why do you... Never mind." Start him before seeing that all those he sees the previous day were present outside, sitting at little white tables while seemingly conversing with their Familiar, drinking tea and eating pastries. "So bonding time, hum?"

"yes, basically, we had the day to start and try knowing our summon better, but you seem to be great with Flame already."

"Well, as much as I do, it also YOURS Familiar, so don"t leave him on the side, OK?"

Once obtaining a nod from her, he makes her sit on the nearest free chair.

"I will go fetch something for this fellow while bringing you tea."

"Thank darling~"

As he was moving away, he sees that a little clear blue-haired, gla.s.s wearing girl with a staff bearing blue bands, and a wrapped end. Sitting on the other side of Kirche, she put her book on the table, continuing her reading as her wind rhyme dragon settle to her side.

#############################

Returning to the kitchen to fetch some spices and hot water to make an infusion form Flame, he crosses he feels someone b.u.mping into him. Before the pastries on the plate could fall, he swipes the out of the air, putting them back, while catching Siesta with the other hand.

"Alex-san! Thank you very much!"

"Don"t sweat the small stuff, are you in duty today?"

"Yes! I..."

"Where are my pastries! Don"t worry Montmorency, they should be here shortly or I will smite the fiend that dare to made you wait for those delicacies!"

Unwilling to leave the poor fidgetting maid on his side take the burn for what is originally his mistake, he gives her the small sachet.

"Could you bring it to Kirche, it for Flame, just pour some hot water in a cup after putting the powder in first, alright?"

"Yes!" She rapidly made her way, happy that he gave her an exit from the confrontation.

Making his way to the pompous a.r.s.e that was spewing bulls.h.i.t at the blonde curl girl, another person b.u.mped into him. This time it was another student. Catching her before she could fall and her basket with her, he releases her once sure that she had stabilized herself.

"Thank you, kind sir."

"My pleasure, could I help you with something?"

Seeing the girls meekly looking around while gripping her basket tighter, he asked.

"I was looking for sir Gramont?"

"Could you give me a description?"

"Oh, yes! He had blond hair, charming face, flowery words, and graceful gesture, his eyes are...."

He was starting to regret asking as the girl was starting to lose herself, thankfully, another shout attracts both their attention.

"Your commoner, when will you bring those pastries your hold? Are you thinking of keeping them for yourself, your pig?! Those delicacies were for the gentle Montmorency! No for your dirty paws, go fetch some more, I will not expose the delicate palate of this lady to what over disease your kin carry!"


While Alex was starting to be p.i.s.sed off at the blond, the other girl brightens, seeing the one she seeks, lightly pacing to him.

#######################

At first, Guiche was p.i.s.sed that his private talk with the girl he was trying to woo was lacking his bribe...Er, her sweets. When he sees the maid he sends to fetch them pa.s.s him, he turns, only to see that the one holding the pastries wasn"t moving toward them, so like any self-respecting n.o.ble, he starts yelling at the commoner for interrupting his date.

When he sees another girl, a first-year he had wooed the night before made her way at him, with a bright smile and a basket at hand, he knew he screwed somewhere.

"Guiche-sama!"

"Who is she Guiche! Are you cheating on me again?!"

Spluttering he couldn"t come with an explanation before he lands on his b.u.t.t, a red palm imprint on each cheek while the two girls rapidly move on the side away from him. One weeping and the other angry but also trying to comfort the poor lamb that had been trapped by the sheep skin-wearing wolf that he was.

#######################

Seeing Guiche being slapped by the two he had to cheat on, bring a smile on Alex"s face. As an Evans, his relations with and between his mates are primordial, seeing someone trying to double-time his intended without her being aware of others was aggrieving.

While Alex was grinning, Guiche sees him and thinks that he was mocking him. Normally, he would be a little off-putting to face such an intimidating adversary, but knowing it as a commoner and seeing red to be caught red-handed, he rapidly put the blame on Alex.

"How dare you laugh at me, you commoner, I am Guiche de Gramont! Let see if you dare to be still c.o.c.ky, I challenge you to Duel for my honor!"

Alex smirk dies on his face, becoming cold, while the surrounding had gathered when they first hear him shout at Alex.

"You want to duel, boy, good bring in on, let see if your shattered ego could bear to take another blow, name the time and place."

Had he be a little more concerned by other things that his wounded pride, he would have heard the sharp edge in Alex"s voice. Hearing him, some of the surrounding n.o.bles broke off, going to others to not let them past Guiche betting up a commoner.

"Right here right now! I won"t let you escape your fate your miserable rat!"

#####################

Montmorency and the first year, Katie were taken aback by the venom in Guiche voice, but more so by the reason. Montmorency, while knowing deep down that he was a playboy, always think that he would put his girl before anything else, but today she finally saw the ugly truth, he cares most about his pride that her.

In fact, he didn"t even utter a single word from her since this all started, leaving a deep crack in the image she had of him.

#####################

While Guiche was raving against Alex, their surroundings have grown to the point that all second years were present. Hearing that the commoner was facing Guichein a duel, Louise couldn"t help but intervene.

"What do you think you"re doing! Commoner can"t go against n.o.ble! And you Guiche you know that Duel is forbidden without the authorization of a professor!"

"Ah, but he is not of n.o.bility, nor of the school personnel, leaving me the right to correct this impudent that dared to go against the Gramont Household."

"You sound so much like that pureblood that it sickening, be honest, you can"t bear the fact your pathetic act was being found and you were slapped by those two ladies, rightfully so!"

"Silence your dog! Its time someone put you in your place, once I"m done with you, I will also teach the b.i.t.c.h of a maid her right place, between my legs!"

Say girl shivers, worried from Alex, but hearing him, she couldn"t help but quake, her fears finally becoming reality.

While gaps at the statement of Guiche, not a single male seem to be perturbed by his threats at the maid, the girls became infuriated that to see such vulgar sight of Guiche personality. Before anyone from both sides could shout at him, they all feel the ambient temperature fall suddenly.

###################################

Of all, only two could somewhat guess what was happening, having heard the previous day, that he may know magic. Louise and Kirche turn their head at Alex, and shivers run through them at the murderous gaze he was giving to the still gloating and screaming Guiche.

"Not only your a scrum not caring for the sentiment of the two ladies you have wronged, but you also dare to threaten a kind and caring girl that gives her all for the like of you? Your disgusting, you bring shame to you and your people. Let start, I don"t want to hear more of you."

"Hm! As if you could understand us, n.o.bility! I Guiche de Gramont, challenge you to duel!"

"I accept!"

Hearing the two, a general gasp run throughout the a.s.sembly, while a plump and round blond with an owl on his shoulders came between the two.

"Allow me to be the referee of this duel."

"Very well Malicorn, I couldn"t see you to not saw proper etiquette!" Says Guiche at the boy, who nodded back.

"Terms?"

"The first to be incapacitated or yield lost." Malicorn looks at Alex who nods.

"Stakes?"

"Let see, if he win, a very unlikely case, I will gift him the girl, he loses and his life will be forfeit to me."

######################################

Again, the crowd gasps at the stake, betting one life wasn"t a small matter as should he lost he would become Guiche propriety.

"add to that sincere excuse to the three ladies you just wronged, and I will accept."

Before Guiche could voice his opinion, Louise once again cut in.

"You can"t do that, I forbid you to do so!" Yell Louise while the boy on her side was completely lost at the situation.

"You seem to misunderstand something, miss. The headmaster had left me in your both cares, at no point did I became your possession. I was, am, and always will be a free man and will act according to my wish!"

The rebuke made Louise shut up after the last night and morning were she establish her dominance and the weak-willed teen at her side, her pride swell quite a bit, only to be ruthlessly crushed by Alex"s words.

"So?" Ask Alex, turning his head back at Guiche.

"Very well, it won"t change your fate through."

Says ladies were taken aback that Alex was still thinking about their well being while Guiche still didn"t care about her, deepening yet again the scar in the feeling Montmorency had for the boy.

########################

"Dueler, state your grief!"

"I Guiche de Gramont will fight to defend the honor of the De Gramont Household against those that dare to tarnish it!" Says Guiche with flare, looking down at Alex, making blushes some simple mind young girls seeming forgetting that he himself had tarnished the honor of three ladies, two of them being of a n.o.ble legacy.

"Alexander Daren Evans, I"m just going to beat that piece of s.h.i.t that isn"t able to properly care and defend his girl honor."

This was the last blow for the young girl, as the image of Guiche irremediably shatter for her, finally understanding that she was nothing more than a conquest for him, making the girl breaking in silent tears.

Thankfully for her, Kirche wasn"t far. Seeing her weeping, she made her way to her. When she sees her, she momently forgets the present situation, looking widely at the new appearance of the girl.

"Kirche! What happens to you?!"

"It all thanks to darling~" Playfully says the redhead while smiling impishly at her, before her face return to her worried state." More importantly, are you alright?"

This was quite shocking for the blonde, knowing the redhead, she would have thinks that she would boast at her larger chest or appearance since she seems even more beautiful than before. That she was worried for her warm her heart, knowing that she had still friends.

"Darling?"

"Oh, yes darling!"

Hearing about her love, Kirche immediately turns into her old gossip self, but this time everything was for Alex. She seems to greatly appreciate talking about the amount of pleasure she feels from him the last night while still staying a gentleman, relishing in his care the very morning.

Hearing Kirche, Montmorency couldn"t help but swooning at those stories, unknowingly setting another man in her throughs.

############################

While the two were lost in their gossip, the crowd had made a place for the soon to be a duel. Still doing his best to come close to a peac.o.c.k vainness, Guiche made a flourish with his wand wielding hand, making a petal fall on the ground, summoning a green bronze unarmed valkyrie.

"Behold! My Name his Guiche De Gramont, know by my runic mane as The Bronze!"

Another flourish and the golem puppet set off to Alex, c.o.c.king its arm back, before striking Alex. Because of the difference of size, the blow that should have struck him in the plexus, hit barely above his waist.

The fleshy "thud" bring all attention back on them, being on the side, Kirche and Montmorency could see that Alex didn"t even attempt to counter or dodge, simply tank it. While a good part of them was waiting to see him either scream in pain, crumble, or both, all they could see was Alex crushing the valkyrie head single-handly.

"Your magic his just like you, weak. I have already lost to much time on this farce."

In a feat of pure physical strength, allow seems to teleport for the looking mages, reappearing in front of a still stunned at the sight of the heavily indented bronze valkyrie head on the ground. When his sight became obstructed, he mechanically raises his gaze.

When his eyes came in contact with those cold emeralds, he finally snaps out of his anger unducted state. But it was too late. Before his brain could register what was standing in front of him and how he made his ways that rapidly, his word open up to an never know before pain.

#########################

When Alex vanish, not a single one of the audience where able to know what was happening, when they hear a succession of a loud "thud", the sound of broking bones before some fleshy sound crashing against a hard surface and more broken bones, they all look where Guiche stood before.

But as much as they search, the blond wasn"t here anymore, only Alex was. When the light cloud of dust settles, they finally saw the second dueler. The sight was horrifying, his open shirt was letting see his indented chest while the tower wall against he was plastered on, show a red trail when his body slides limblessly to the ground.

The silence rein for a second before a girl scream broke the magic, the younger who wasn"t puking their gut at the sight were running around like headless chickens. It was only after a short moment that one seems to remember to go fetch professors.

Thankfully, the previous sound had already attracted a pa.s.sing teacher. When it saw the state of Guiche, he immediately runs to his side, levitates it before rushing inside the tower to start as soon a possible the care.

Turning to Malicorn, Alex looks at the green-faced boy, who shivers before somewhat understanding what he was waiting for.

"Guiche De Gramont has been made unable to continue the duel, thus resulting in his defeat. Alexander Daren Evans"s griefs have been avenged!"

"I expect Siesta"s contract to be delivered at the earliest."

"Yes!"

Knowing that it was his chance, the fat boy bolts away as fast as he can, dispersing the audience.
