Act I
"Edward, wake up!"
"It's only 8:00 am, Charlotte! It's also Saturday, so I'm sure I can rest a little bit longer!" I reply.
"But you still need to get things done!" she yells.
"NO" I say back, turning onto my side.
"Then I'll sleep with you~" She says, nuzzling my chest.
Charlotte. Female. 22 years old, a familiar. She has semi-long blonde hair, hazel eyes, and likes to wear a butler outfit with the trademark tailcoat. Former enemy that made several attempts at my life. I'm pretty sure you, the reader, want to know why my enemy is getting along with me so well. To summarize it all, I was at the wrong place at the worst possible, then she tries to kill me multiple times, one day my psychaotic rival tried to kill her, thinking that she was my girlfriend, then I saved her, somehow made a spirit contract, and now we are here.
Edward Evanston (me). Male. Also 22 years old, and a Spirit Summoner. I have semi-long black hair, and grey eyes. I had just become a Spirit Summoner after the incident with Charlotte, so I don't know much about spirits; however, I do have some rudimentary skills with my newfound power, since I trained with Charlotte multiple times.
(7 hours later)
While walking in the park, I notice a cloaked figure standing out in the open. Suddenly, the sky and the entire environment turned red.
"This a special barrier so normal humans can't interfere"
"From the person's tone, it's an enemy" Charlotte says.
Fun Fact #1: Spirits reside in the Spirit Realm, and can communicate directly to their Summoner through telepathy.
"What is this barrier?" I reply.
"A Spirit Barrier. As he explained, it prevents the human realm from interfering a battle between two Spirit Summoners" Charlotte explains.
Then, I extend my arm out, like I am grabbing a blade. "Piercer of both light and darkness - Resolute in the dark night - Appear and cut down the enemy - Charlotte, Manifest!" I yell.
Purple glowing butterflies then swarm up my extended arm and burst, revealing a silver rapier.
"En garde!" I yell, charging at the enemy.
"Hmph"
As I leaped into the air, I used a hidden built-in sniper rifle, but the figure quickly dodged it like as if it was like dodging a feather. Then while attacking, the person dodged all my swift movements.
"Judging from the person's movements, the person is well experienced" Charlotte notifies.
"Then let's use the Divide and Conquer tactic" I reply.
As Charlotte turns into her human form, we quickly ran opposite ways and brought out our modified pistols, firing at the figure, who kept dodging. Quickly then did I leap back and Charlotte continued while I brought out the railgun sniper rifle and carefully aimed.
"Get out of the firing line in 3 seconds!"
"Got it!"
Then as the third second arrived, I fired my weapon, which didn't hit the enemy, but got rid of the hood, revealing a girl with long, light red hair.
"Sarah...?" I say somehow instinctively.
Then, the person removed her cloak, revealing a pink, frilly outfit.
"That's me alright! I was wondering if you were able to recognize me through battle!" She says.
"You improved quite a bit! Are you a Magiknight now?" I reply.
Sarah Smith. Female. 22 years old, Magiknight. Magiknights are the elites of Zeren, the country I live in. Wielding the ability to use magic, they are specifically trained to fluently use the sword and magic with a lag time of half a second, which is why I say they are the elite of this country. She is a childhood friend of mine since I was 4 years old, and have trained together for a long time, but I had only trained in using swords, because I didn't have the aptitude for magic until the incident with Charlotte.
