Going to the academy proved to be slightly difficult than it needed to be, mostly because of how far away they were from the academy, Louise not being able to do a Levitation Spell, and The Doom Slayer doing his best to keep pace with the Pinkette, not because he was slow mind you mostly because if he actually walked at his pace he'll probably leave her choking on dust. With his patience wearing thin, he looked at the Pinkette and gestured her to come closer.
"Ummm… What is it- WOAH!" Louise said before being picked up by the Doom Slayer, as he carefully carried her with one arm. Louise felt slightly insulted even if she was very short and small she didn't want to be carried and treated like a child. She was about to complain when suddenly the man looked at her and said "Hold On."
Louise raised an eyebrow "Wait, what are you gonna do-OOOOOOOOO!"Louise screamed as the Doom Slayer ran at top speed towards the academy.
And then they finally reached the academy in record time leaving some of the levitating students awestruck on how a man covered from head to toe with strange heavy armor was able to achieve speed that could rival a triangle-class wind mage, but Louise didn't care about any of that and wasn't all too keen on how they made it there. Her hair was a complete and utter mess and she felt a bit nauseated by the whole experience. Luckily The Doom Slayer took precautions to make sure she didn't suffer whiplash from his speed.
As Louise finally managed to regain her composure and fix her hair, she shot the large armored man a glare that conveyed the message "Don't ever do that again." In response he just gave a small shrug which conveyed its very own message. "No promises." Louise let out a small sigh and gestured him to follow her. As they walked Louise gave the Doom Slayer a small tour on the places they passed as they both went to the Girl's Dormitory.
A few minutes later, they finally reached their destination, after she finished fishing for her room keys inside her pockets. She swung the door open and immediately went to the bathroom to get a better look at herself and fix her hair.
The Doom Slayer looked around the room and gave his assessment: it was definitely fit for nobility. Most if not all the wooden furniture's were made out of some sturdy and elegant-looking wood. The bed was quite elegant too; he walked towards it and removed his gauntlets wanting to feel its mattresses and pillows. They were pleasantly soft, which was nice he rarely managed to get a hold of anything that wasn't just either metallic or rough.
As he continued to observe the room further he noticed that there was pile of hay there, probably for the "familiar" she wanted to summon, of course not knowing who she would summon anyway. He tried to sit on some of the chairs but noted that despite their quality they were obviously quite flimsy against a man wearing a full set of futuristic armor, with a sigh he looked towards the pile of hay and noted it to be his only option besides sitting on the girl's bed. And he'll probably have a high chance of breaking that too…
"I've rested in worse places…" He thought and that was no hyperbole he still remembered those times resting on top of a pile of corpses, as badass as it looked, it was also very uncomfortable and he was thankful that his helmet was able to mask foul scents.
Louise was finally done fixing her hair slightly grumbling to herself as she left the bathroom to confront the elephant in the room.
Namely, that gigantic olive-colored strangely armored man in front of her sitting on the pile of hay, seeing a large armor-clad man sitting there patiently & silently waiting while staring at her didn't make this whole thing any less awkward as it was.
She walked towards her bed noting that the man gaze was following her, putting her slightly at unease. As she finally made it to her bed she looked at the man for a while taking a better look at his strange features: Obviously his helmet had some form of face-obscuring glass on it, how his pauldrons didn't seem to match, a strange light emanating from one of the small circles on his chest, and that weird rune on the top-left corner of his helmet.
Finally wanting to break the silence, she cleared he throat and asked one of the many questions that was nagging at the back of her brain ever since she saw him. "Excuse me but, what is your name?"
The Doom Slayer was slightly surprised, he had many titles: The Doom Guy, The Hellwalker, The Doom Slayer and then The Doom Marine. But nobody actually bothered to know his actual real name.
Of course there was a slight bit of a problem…
Even HE forgot what his own real damn name was, as he tried to remember who he used to be, but it all ultimately came into a dead end. He closed his eyes hoping that it would help him.
Surprisingly enough it did…
The only thing that he saw was complete brightness, a complete opposite of what happened to him a few hours ago, but there was someone standing there, a lady. He couldn't tell what she looked the bright light shadowed all her features. But despite all that she felt… familiar, It's like… she met her from some place but he couldn't tell who she was.
He slowly walked towards her, but the more he tried to get closer the more she seemed to be going farther away, his pace gradually went into full sprint as he ran at the fastest speed he could possibly manage. But despite all that the figure was still far away and began to slowly fade away.
"Wait!" The Doom Slayer shouted, it was a pretty rare event for him to feel vulnerable and distressed, Hah! He didn't even know what those words meant! But for some reason, he didn't want the figure to go; he didn't know why but it felt like someone important was leaving him.
And he already lost enough, he didn't want to lose anything anymore, he raised his arm in a vain attempt to reach the slowly fading woman in front of him. But he soon stopped at his tracks when he finally heard the voice call out to him.
"Despite everything, I still love you William…"
And then everything began to dissolve right in front of his eyes, he looked at his hands as they began to disperse into red-colored shapes…
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you okay! Speak! Speak, Brimir-damnit!" Louise screamed as she began to notice that her familiar was spacing out. She was about to go out the door and call out for help until she felt someone grab her hand, she looked behind her and saw that he was still conscious. She gave a small sigh of relief, as she returned to her bed and sat looking at her familiar again, straightening herself out, took a deep breath and asked "What happened back there?" "Nothing..." he monotonously replied. "Nothing?"She asked raising an eyebrow. "Nothing." he replied again with a slight tint of anger on his tone. She relented she didn't want to prod the issue even further "Regardless, you haven't answered my question yet..."
The Doom Slayer stopped again he began to ponder that weird… What should you call it, it was like a memory a fragment of one maybe like an Echo, yes an echo of something from his past. And he remembered what he heard in that Echo that made him feel uneasy. "Despite everything, I still love you William…" What did that mean exactly? Was his real name William? Did what she say have anything to do with what happened centuries ago? He didn't have time to ponder on any of that, the kid was expecting an answer.
Hell, calling himself William was a better idea than calling him by any of his titles. He was sure that it would either scare her like most dumb kids do, but if she was even dumber she'll probably wonder why he got that name in the first place. He gave a heavy sigh, "William" it is then.
He cleared his throat it still kinda hurt to use his voice after only God knows for how long. "I really need to get used to this…" he thought as he looked at the Girl impatiently waiting with a small pout"Geez, hold your horses…" he then looked at her straight in the eye and finally let loose the words from his from his ancient lips "My name is William…" he stopped for a second as he felt the word come out of his lips, It felt like he used to say that name a lot but now it felt strangely familiar he discarded the thought he didn't need to think about stupid things like names.
He needed to know what the hell was going on.
"That's it?" she replied surprised that the man in front of her just only said one name and that only. He gave a small shrug in reply as if to say "That's It."
She slowly made her palms meet the upper part of her face as she began to slightly groan. "Brimir-damnit only commoners run around with only a singular name, most nobles should both have their given name and family name. Yet he only gave me one!" she thought. She looked back at him again, she'll probably worry about that later she needed to more about the strange man in front of him.
She then asked him, "Are you a knight by any chance?" she inquired.
"William" gave it some thought, if he still remembered (hopefully) he was the leader of an order named "The Night Sentinels" a demon-slaying order composed of strong men in Argent-designed Power Armor that made them look like the knights of Planet Earth. "Was…" is the only thing he could answer without getting into too much details.
"Was? What happened?" the pink-haired replied. "My entire order died…" he grimly responded. Which prompted her to slightly squirm in her bed "Oh, I am terribly sorry to hear that…" she apologized.
He could only give a shrug in reply; she wanted to know what he was and what happened to him, no sense in feeling slightly ashamed. Then again he was stuck inside that coffin for a LONG time, so he might not be the master of social cues.
Another awkward silence descended upon them as if the mentioning of the fall of the Night Sentinels made it even more awkward.
Fortunately it was his turn to break the silence. "If it won't bother you, I'll just go outside and take a look around…" he asked not that he needed her permission, he just didn't want to appear rude in front of her. Apparently she was on the same boat as him and didn't want to press things any further "I don't see why not, I suggest you go to the servant's quarters they might be able to give you a spare bed." He shook his head "No need…" he then opened the door. But before he thought of leaving he turned around faced the girl "What's your name?" he finally asked.
"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Valliere." She proudly proclaimed, William raised one of his eyebrows under his helmet "That was a bit long winded…" he thought but then finally decided to use his new information "Good Night, Louise…" as he then left the room.
Then pinkette gave a small sigh of relief as she began to undress, went to the bathroom & take a bath, then get into her nightwear and go to sleep.
It was surprisingly calm and serene outside probably because there wasn't the faint smell of blood, rising smoke coming from a distant burning building, raging fires coming from damaged areas, etc.
He looked up into the sky, confirming his thoughts that where plaguing his mind a few hours ago. "This definitely ain't Earth…" as he noticed that this planet had Two Moons, despite their other worldliness they had a surprisingly serene color scheme helping him feel slightly calmer. He then slowly began to work his way around the academy he passed by what he guessed: The dining hall, girl's dormitory, boy's dormitory, and probably more if he bothered to pay any attention.
While he was minding his own business he heard slight whispers, having good ears is pretty essential when you become a demon slayer, if you didn't want to die by the hands of a cowardly demon you had to have good hearing. He followed the silent whispers as he looked at their source: a boy and a girl maybe a couple? He immediately recognized one of the two. There was that blonde fop with the unbuttoned shirt carrying a rose doing ridiculous poses while whispering sweet nothings into the girl's ears. Oh yeah, and the little girl seemed to have the same clothing as most of the girl's in uniform he saw earlier but her cloak was a different color. "If this is really is an academy. Then the color of their cloaks must show their year level." He observes as he silently slipped away, he didn't want to bother himself with that young boy's ramblings and that little girl's clichéd compliments.
He finally he entered, from what he could tell the courtyard. So far it was nice and calm; there were a lot of trees and different kinds of plants that made the place livelier, although under the darkness of the night it made it felt more soothing than alive at least. His attention was quickly caught as he heard someone was scrubbing something in the water. He looked at its source as he noticed someone in maid getup cleaning something in the fountain… Now why would someone do laundry in the fountain? Most people would get yelled at for doing something like that. But he dispersed these thoughts as he slowly walked up to the maid.
She wiped of the sweat from her brow as she finally finished the last batch of barely-even-dirty laundry, she soon hanged them in a rack and was about to leave to finally go to sleep when she heard a voice.
"Excuse me can I ask you a few questions?" she almost jumped from her position when she heard that voice, It's as if the devil himself decided to talk to her. Of course what confused her more was that what she heard was surprisingly polite, she finally dared to turn around and see where the source of the voice, She almost fainted.
Standing in front of her was a giant of a man clad in strange armor and he was uncomfortably close to her too; she didn't realize she almost fell when she felt someone holding her. It didn't take long for her to realize that the man was holding her, keeping her upright to stop herself from hitting the ground; her face went completely crimson red as she began to take in the situation and immediately stood upright "A strong knight catching a fair maiden before she falls! This is almost like from my romance novels!" she screamed inside her head she finally discarded these thoughts when she remembered said "Knight", who was now looking at her with his head tilted to the side clearly giving off the message "You okay?"
After finally gaining her composure and finally letting the redness of her cheeks go away. She finally found the inner strength to speak again and asked. "Are you the Knight Familiar that Ms. Louise summoned?" her only reply was a shrug of confirmation; it was good enough which she returned with a nod.
"As I was saying I wanted to inquire you…" he asked although it took him a long time to realize it, but it finally hit him now "Shit, I should've asked that girl earlier more about this place instead of running off…" he mentally scolded himself.
What later occurred was a brief lesson on how the world worked from the eye's of a commoner. And so far he didn't like what he had heard.
"So the ones who do not possess the power of magic suffer, while the ones who are "blessed" with magic get off from their suffering?" he angrily asked curling his fists and trying his best not to punch something REALLY HARD in the face.
"That's a rather cynical way of seeing it, but well if you put it like that…" she trailed of trying her best to at least lighten the situation.
He gave a defeated sigh "First of order of business in this world, is to unfuck the social system as fast as humanely possible." He mentally noted. He finally straightened himself and finally continued what he was doing before, the maid was about to do the same when he finally realized something, he forgot to ask something. "This is the second time I forgot an important detail, I'm getting sloppy."He catched up towards the maid and tapped her shoulder, she gave an inquisitive "Hm?" in reply as she turned around.
"What's your name?" he asked, she gave a comforting smile as she answered with "My name is Siesta of Tarbes, but you can just call me Siesta." He replied with a nod and returned with "My name is William." "Just William?" She asked she was slightly astonished that she only gave her one name, having a singular name was mostly a commoner thing.
He looked down; because he was wearing a helmet she couldn't tell if he was sad or confused. "I- I don't know my full name…" was his only response. She was completely taken by surprise by that, did this man suffer from amnesia? She thought but she dispersed this thoughts away as she decided to comfort the man. "Sir William It is then!" she answered with a beaming smile. Even though it was hard to tell she, felt like it did the trick as the man raised his head and looked at her. "William is just fine…" he said. She was slightly surprised by this but decided not to prod further, "I have to get going then Mr. William I have to be ready for tomorrows' work." "No reason to keep you waiting then" she gave a small curtsy as she finally headed for the Servant's quarters.
He finally gave a small sigh as he felt like that entire conversation took all of his energy to plow through and for some weird reason he wanted to rest, he saw a nearby tree and sat right next to it.
He felt his eyes droop as he finally let the sandman sprinkle his sand unto him and let him rest, hopefully not to wake up a few centuries later…
