New Assistant

Nicholas, hah?

Where did I hear that name? Is he a character from the novel? If so, then who is him? What's his role?

After the whole explanation (+bricking and fighting), Morgan decided to introduce herself since she don't tell her name before the explanation. Everything because Claude's mouth.

"Nice to meet you, Nicholas." Morgan put her hand on her cleavages, "I'm Morgan Laurengher, the mage of Lundenberg. This is the owner of this place, Grand Duke of Lundenberg, Sir Claude. Behind him is Alan, the assistant. You can ask him if you need help."

Nicholas nodded his head silently. Thankfully that the person he meet is good person and not cunning person. Claude take one step forward with cold expression, "Enough talking, brat."

Suddenly, the sword appeared beside on Nicholas's neck. The cold of metal send shivers over his body. The way Claude pointed his sword against him, Nicholas know that monster man don't trust him.

"Answer me, ally or enemy?"

"You think I'm the spy, isn't right, Grand Duke?"

"Of course I am. None can enter the Lundenberg Territories especially at first wall. My territories is snowy field. Without warm or fur clothes, you're going die...." The metal of blade become more closer to his skin, "But, here you are. Still alive without use any warm clothes and enter the First Wall."

"....."

"Not going to answer it? Well, say hi to Grim Reaper."

Before Claude can swing his sword, Morgan immediately throw a pillow towards this adult man as she screams,

"DON'T TOUCH HIM, OLD MAN!!!!"

Thud!!!

Instantly, the cold-blooded Grand Duke who famously with his merciless, fall into ground after get hit by a young girl. With a pillow.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, BRAT!!!?"

"YOU CAN'T KILL HIM!! HE'S MY NEW PET!!!"

"ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT!!!? THAT KID IS HUMAN!!! YOU CAN'T KEEP IT AS PET!!----Wait, What in the hell I'm say? No,no,no! That's not the main problem. I will make it quick and give this kid painless death BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANSWER!!!"

"GO SEARCH IN BOOK, OLD MAN!!!"

"WHAT DO YOU SAY!!? WHO TAUGHT TO BEHAVE LIKE BRAT!!? IS IT YOUR FATHER!!?"

"YES, THAT'S RIGHT!! I WILL BEHAVE LIKE REBEL KID AND RUN WITH MY NEW PET!!!"

Well, even after ten minutes past, Morgan and Claude still bricking. They even being topic that isn't topic in their current conversation, including insults Marquess Laurengher.

"Don't mind them. They always fight like that." Said Alan towards Nicholas.

"They're not father and daughter?"

Alan can't help but chuckled with this young boy's answer, "Of course not. They maybe have similar personality and have closer relationship but they're not family. Just mere boss and employee relationship. Since Lady Morgan is kid, Grand Duke treated her like his own daughter despite he don't want to admit it."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't say like I and this old man have really really good relationship. The only good about him is his money. Other than that? Let's say his personality is the reason why he still single." Said Morgan with smugness.

Claude send gentle hit on the young girl's head, "Don't bring my love story, brat. For your information, I already received more than 1,000 proposal and I reject all of them."

"I see. It isn't your personality that everyone don't want you. It's your picky taste. I don't know that you have high taste since there's no woman can being perfect to be your spouse. Have you consider to take a man as your spouse?"

"Talk like that again and I will send you into Abyss World before you can see Abyss."

After several fighting and argue, Claude decided to let Nicholas live with one condition. He has to work as Morgan's assistant and protect her no matter what happens.

Even though, Morgan saw him as her new toy and friend, Nicholas think it's better to have good relationship with his lady since he need to survive.

'The Royal Family won't dare to touch Grand Duke. If I stay here, they can't kill me.... Negotiation with Grand Duke himself is hard but thanks to this lady, I manage to secure my safety....'

But.....

"Good Morning, Micky!"

"Who the heck is Micky?"

"Your new nickname!"

"With all respect, please change it."

"Then, Nicky? Nick? Nicole? Nikolo?"

"Just call by my name. Normally."

"Nah. I don't want that. It's feel awkward----"

"Seriously, which is awkward that you----"

"How about Sebas?"

"That's whole different name, fool."

"Mmmm.... Maybe I should call you Darling, hehe?" Said Morgan as she send flying kiss towards Nicholas.

That guy, instead blushing, he remain unfazed, "Call me whatever except those disgusting word."

"Ughh... You're not fun."

Morgan walk beside Nicholas to show him around the castle. They went to training ground where the knight greeted them, the kitchen, the library until she tired.

"Oh yeah. What is time right now?" Morgan asking.

"3 pm. Why?"

"It's time to visit first wall. You want go with me? Unless you still traumatized, I don't mind you follow me like dog."

"Why are you so obsessed with dog?"

"Just answer my question, dog."

In the end, Nicholas following to Morgan into the first wall, on top of the wall between human territory and demon territory. Morgan's presence bring joyous and shock from the knight, who keep fighting until end.

All for prevent the demons enter the humanity.

"Lady mage! You're here!!"

"Lady mage!! Good evening!! You look beautiful!!"

"Hey, watch out idiot!!! There's monster behind you!!!"

"That bastard!!! Somebody!!! Get the hell help for her!!"

"Shit!!! Who the heck throw snowball to me when I try to kill goblin!!?"

"AHHHHHHH!!!!! BLOOD!!!!"

"How the heck you become soldier when you afraid of blood!!?"

"My apologize behalf our current condition to greet you. We would like to welcome you but the monster become more uncontrollable these day." Said the captain casually with blood on his face. Not only that, he even ignored the chaotic event behind him!!

Meanwhile, Nicholas asking himself, 'How can they be so casual facing the death? They even have snowball fight in the middle of war?'

"Hahaha!!! You all surely have fun, hah? Don't forget to leave me some. I need them for my experiment." Replied Morgan who also oblivious with the chaotic situation.

'Forget that. None here is normal. Especially this girl.'

"So, who the one behind you?"

"Ah. This? My new pet."

"I don't know you have that type fetish, my lady."

"Excuse me, sir!! This isn't conversation for 10 years old!! Please reconsider your dead brain before talk." Nicholas can't do this anymore. Today is literally his first day as assistant and he need go through this everyday?

Hell nah.

"Anyway. Thanks to you, our army manage to have fun while killing this monster. The monster appear become more decrease after you almost burn the whole forest."

Nicholas give a side-eye glance to Morgan, "You burn the whole forest?"

"I just want try my new spells Inferno. That's it."

"You're terrible person."

"Since when I said I'm a good person?"

Suddenly, Morgan throw a board size paper towards Nicholas.

"That's my list."

"My list what?"

"Magic spells experiment." Said her as she wear her sunglasses and raise her hands.

BOOOMMMM----!!!!!

A thunder bolt strike loudly. Those lightning immediately kill who is unlucky, including monsters nor humans. It's so loud that bring a fear to anyone who saw it.

"FUCK!!!! LADY MAGE ALREADY BEGIN HER EXPERIMENT!!! RETREAT!! RETREAT!!!"

"WHAT THE HECK!!!? HOW THE HECK HER THUNDER SO STRONG THAN BEFORE!!?"

"GET UP, IDIOT!!! DO YOU WANT TO DIE OR WHAT!!?"

"WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT ATTACK!! BETTER GET OUT FROM HERE!!!"

All the soldiers try escape from deadly battlefield that already conquered by thunder strikes. Unfortunately, no all of them can survive.

Instantly, Nicholas grabbing Morgan's shoulder, "Oi! Are you crazy!? Do you want kill them!!?"

"They can survive. If not, that's their problem. Not mine. Also, why you touch my shoulder? You're my assistant and you need check my list magic experiment."

"That's not important!! You think they're toys that can fix later!? They're humans! If it's broken once, it's can't fix again! What if they lose their life?"

"Woah. I don't know that you're a caring person." Replied Morgan with mocking smile.

"Even so, you have no right to order me, dog. Currently, I'm the one hold highest authority here. Unless you want order me, tell that old man Grand Duke Lundenberg to make you Commander or something."

"You----!!!"

RAAAAUUUUUUUUURRRRR!!!

A loud monsters scream attracted many attention. Black, giant, ugly face, a massive monster currently running towards the first wall, where Morgan and others stay. It's have eight red eyes, four horns and carry big claymore.

"A new monster? Never saw any book. Great time!! Micky! Get your book and pen now. We're going extracting that thing. Make sure record the blood's colour, behaviour or any particular thing!!"

"ARE YOU SURE THIS IS RIGHT TIME TO DO EXPERIMENT!!? THAT MONSTER RUN FASTER THAN ANY MONSTERS!!!"

"Good one!! Write that one too! I think this monster have speed advantage!!"

"FOR THE FIRST TIME, I DON'T THINK I WANT THAT PRAISE!!!"

"Should I inform this situation to the Grand Duke?" The captain asking calmly.

"Nah. That old man will be late. Old is old. No matter how fast you inform him, he will be late in the end." Replied Morgan as she summon her magical staff.

Her magical staff is shaped like big purple key, which the size is more bigger than Morgan's current body. Many people ask, how did she get that wand? Or, why it's must be key?

The answer is easy.

First, she's throwing tantrums to Grand Duke and forced him to get her new magical staff.

Yeah, what kind of mage if they don't have any wand? That's not mage. That's barehanded person who keep spamming spells like a cringe person.

Second, she just want make it more special. Other mage have magical staffs like rod or wand. Then, what if one mage appeared with giant key?

Isn't that more interesting than lame, boring mage?

"ARE YOU GOING FIGHT THAT MONSTER!!!?" Nicholas shouting loudly since the whole atmosphere change because of aggressive wind.

"YEAH!!! WHAT!? YOU WANT THAT THING COME TO US, BREAK THE WALL AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT IT AFTER THAT!!? IT'S SAME AS IF YOU WAITING FOR YOUR DEATH AS USELESS PERSON!!!"

"THAT'S UNKNOWN MONSTER!!! WITH AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR!!! IT'S DANGEROUS FOR 10 YEARS OLD GIRL LIKE YOU!!! TO FIGHT THAT FUCKING MONSTER ALONE!!!"

"SINCE WHEN I SAID ALONE!!? YOU'RE GOING TOO!!"

"I NEVER AGREE TO HELP YOU!!"

"AS YOUR MASTER, I COMMAND YOU TO HELP ME!!"

"BITCH!!! I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER TO HELP YOU!!!"

"THEN GO SACRIFICE YOU AS BAIT!! AT LEAST YOU DIE AS HEROIC PERSON AND NOT USELESS PERSON!!!"

Suddenly, Morgan jump off from top of wall which make Nicholas shock, only to know that girl can fly without wings or support.

"YOU CAN FLY!!?"

Human can't fly. That's why Nicholas was shocked by Morgan's action. None can fly before. Only fairies, creatures with wings or magical things can fly.

So, how Morgan flying?

Easy.

Because the mages in this world is stupid, they never discovered this little tiny loop.

You see, what is the point wind magic exist?

To blast and send people out from tavern? To carry many box in short time? To shield yourself from attack?

Use your brain, mages!! YOU CAN USE WIND MAGIC TO FLOATING YOURSELF!!! HOW CAN I DON'T SEE ANYONE USE WIND TO FLY!!? WHY!!!? BECAUSE CURRENT HUMANITY IS USELESS!!!

"WAIT!!! LADY MORGAN!!---- Ahhh!!! There's she go!!" Nicholas sighing before grab his sword and jump from wall.

Morgan already go first with high speed towards the monster. She don't even look behind when Nicholas called her.

'That stubborn girl. She always like this before. Even in her previous life!!'

BOOOMMMM----!!!!

Without mercy nor wasting time, Morgan already launched multiple fire blast to the monster. REPEATLY. The fire blast hit the monster again and again until it have to take one step back.

In order words, Morgan just spamming her magic spell, specifically a basic fire magic spells with a pinch of power to make it more huge.

'That monster took one step back, yet, it still don't attack me? Something wrong? No, clearly that thing already kill the soldiers earlier. So, why it don't attack me?----'
