Chereads / Born as Gojo Satoru Cousin / Chapter 164 - Fate

Chapter 164 - Fate

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, or better known as Louise the Zero among the students.

That derogatory name wasn't given without reason; she was infamous for her zero success rate in casting spells and her lack of elemental affinity.

The Tristain Academy, where noble children who would become the pillars of the Kingdom of Tristain gathered. In their eyes, Louise was a disgrace among the nobles.

"Look, it's Louise the Zero."

"What kind of Familiar will she summon?"

"It'll probably just explode again."

The mocking and jeering voices were clearly audible to Louise; they didn't lower their voices at all. Even so, she remained calm because she was used to it.

Kirche who was stroking her Familiar, a Salamander, openly taunted her.

"You said you could summon a Familiar more impressive than this one, right, Louise?"

"Of course." Louise hid her nervousness; she herself wasn't confident.

'Please...'

Her hand holding the magic wand trembled.

Not wanting to be a spectacle, she raised her hand and began to chant the spell.

"My servant that exists somewhere in the universe!"

"Huh!?"

Not just the students, even Professor Colbert was baffled by the strange incantation.

As if not feeling the scornful gazes on her, Louise raised her hand and continued.

"A sacred, strong, and beautiful Familiar!"

"I summon you from the bottom of my heart. Answer my call!"

*BOOM*

Waving the wand in her hand, an explosion accompanied by smoke suddenly appeared, startling everyone watching.

While everyone panicked at the explosion, no one noticed the two magic circles that appeared on the ground, covered by the smoke screen.

"Cough Cough..."

"I knew it..."

"Cough Cough."

The students coughed from inhaling the smoke.

As the smoke gradually cleared, everyone's focus turned to Louise, or more precisely, to the two young men in front of her.

A young man with black hair wearing strange clothes they had never seen before, and another young man with white hair wearing only tattered shorts.

Compared to the black-haired youth who seemed ordinary and no different from commoners in the eyes of the noble children, the white-haired youth looked special.

Everyone could see his body had perfect muscles, especially the six-pack abs. Plus, his handsome face was a bonus.

The nobles blushed at this sight. It was the first time they had seen a man's body up close.

Unfortunately, the white-haired youth's body was covered in wounds, fresh blood still flowing from them, making the inexperienced nobles feel horrified.

Some of the weaker ones even fainted at the sight of blood.

"A human?!"

"That outfit... It's clearly a commoner's."

"What's with that guy?! Why isn't he wearing clothes? And he's covered in wounds!"

People only glanced at the black-haired youth who was still lying on the ground briefly; their attention was on the white-haired youth who was slowly opening his eyes.

'Am I in the afterlife?'

Eiji denied that idea; his wounds gave him painful stimuli, reminding him that he wasn't dead yet.

Opening his eyes, he saw a petite girl with strawberry pink hair.

The petite girl was dressed like a medieval European witch, except she wasn't wearing a cone-shaped hat. With a black cloak, she wore a white blouse and a gray mini skirt.

'Pink-haired girl!'

The girl in front of him reminded Eiji of the woman who always appeared in his wet dreams. However, he quickly dismissed that thought.

Although he couldn't remember the face of the woman in his dream, he still clearly remembered her body shape.

Compared to the woman in his dream with a sexy body and large breasts, the girl in front of him had a chest as flat as an airplane runway; she was clearly not the woman Eiji had in mind.

'That's not her. Even though they both have pink hair, that woman is an Onee-san type, not a loli.'

Shifting his attention from the loli who was still unresponsive, Eiji observed the surroundings.

A bright blue sky, a large and majestic building resembling a European castle, a group of teenagers dressed similarly to the girl, a middle-aged bald man with only a few strands of hair left on the sides, and various strange creatures like Pokemon.

From the conversation of the onlookers, Eiji found that they weren't using Japanese or any language he knew from Earth.

In just one second, his brain worked like a computer, gathering information and analyzing it. The next second, he had drawn a conclusion.

'I see... This is the world of [Zero no Tsukaima]. It seems I've been summoned along with the protagonist during Louise's Summoning Magic.'

'Is this fate?'

'No matter the reason, the important thing is I managed to survive.'

Eiji's tense nerves relaxed after understanding that he was no longer in a dangerous situation. This caused him to stagger and almost fall, but he refused to faint.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Louise wanted to step forward to help, but her steps halted in fear of the blood. After all, the injured man in front of her was one of her Familiars; she didn't want to see him die too soon.

"What a stupid question. Do I look alright to you?" Eiji answered coldly in the local language of this world.

Once, he had used Azure to travel to another world randomly. As a result, he arrived in the world of [Zero no Tsukaima]. He got involved in a conflict and massacred many knights escorting the Queen of the Kingdom of Tristain at that time.

The conflict was triggered by a trivial matter. Eiji's failure to bow when the Queen's entourage passed made the knights angry and point their swords at him.

Disliking their arrogant behavior, he fought back. The knights were enraged, determined to kill him.

Of course, Eiji didn't just stand still when someone targeted his life.

One of his philosophies is, "If you want to kill others, you must be prepared to be killed."

So, Eiji started slaughtering the knights who wanted to kill him.

"Who are you calling stupid?! How dare a Familiar not respect his master!"

It was okay if other nobles mocked her, but Louise couldn't accept being mocked by a commoner.

"He's your Familiar, not me."

Pointing to the protagonist who was starting to wake up, Eiji turned and walked away.

His top priority was to recover. He could currently be considered a criminal in the Kingdom of Tristain, making it very dangerous to appear in public.

"Wait, you can't go! You're also my Familiar; I won't let you leave!"

Forgetting her disgust towards blood, Louise grabbed Eiji's left hand, preventing him from leaving.

"Let go of me."

"No! Listen to me, don't go anywhere."

"Mhm..."

Eiji started to feel dizzy from blood loss. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died from blood loss by now.

Not wanting to waste time, he pushed Louise until she fell.

"Hey, you can't be rough with a girl."

Just waking up, Hiraga Saito was annoyed seeing a loli pushed by a blood-soaked man.

"..."

Eiji glanced at Saito for less than a second, looked away, and then his figure moved so fast that the naked eye couldn't see it.

Everyone only saw cracks in the ground and heard a thudding sound.

The figure of the white-haired man, who was one of Louise the Zero's Familiars, fled, leaving his master behind.

Of course, this became another subject of ridicule for Louise.

In the Summoning Magic ritual, Louise not only summoned two commoners, but one of them disobeyed and ran away, ignoring her words.

"I won't forgive this!!!" Louise shouted angrily, stomping her feet on the ground.

Seeing him leave, she vented her anger on the other Familiar.

Saito, who didn't know anything, ended up receiving a slap from Louise.
