Chapter 9: Don't Call Me Master? by Harem-Fan

     Freya's dazed hazel eyes soon cleared, and she was kneeling on a platform, looking into the eyes of a shocked, and rather adorable looking, Sam Roland, her new Master...

     Freya could feel his fear of harming herself with this connection, by a twist of fate, she also realized she had mostly free will, just no betrayal or killing Sam. Otherwise, she could act freely. But she thought she should not be too easy to bully, so...

     she stood up, looked around to all of the onlookers, and then locked her eyes on Sam Roland. Her life is now bound forever to this young man, and her boots sounded in the quiet arena, and soon she stood over the boy cross legged on the small altar. She then cast one of her spells for privacy...

     "Cover me, [Fire Shield Shell]!"

-

     I was still in pure shock, what joke is this? Humans cannot, ever summon Humans?!

     Oh, no... I just ruined her life, because now if I die, so will she... Maybe, just maybe the Headmistress can help us? There might be a way to sever the bond?

     I do not think I can handle the guilt of taking her freedom away... But how could I know what was in the Void of Souls?

     Oh crap, she is walking to me... Her calm face is terrifying me, will she try to beat me to near death? Will she hate me? I am out of my depth here...

     "Cover me, [Fire Shield Shell]!"

     A fire dome with a diameter of 20 feet covers us, and its crimson flame lights up the interior of the protective shell. She looked down to me, and crossed her arms.

      "Sam, right? How did you call me?"

     Okay, she did not start with a fireball but a question, this is good.

     "Teacher, I had felt many souls, and when I found a Soul that was warm, kind, and affectionate with me, I reached out... I really did not mean this, I had no idea this would happen..."

     The mature woman frowned and was thinking. I at this moment forgot she could feel my heart and intention, like all Summons feel from their Summoners, in their presence. Her lips then asked, but in the English language, surprising me.

     "Sam, you are only 18, and have developed this language you call, English, and I in my life, have never heard of it in the world?" (A/N using italics when talking in English, to denote that others cannot understand the words.)

     Fuck, when I added this to my Summons Skill sharing, I had no idea a Human would learn it... I only wanted my summons to understand coded commands in battle, oops... I said back in English.

     "Teacher, it was something I dreamed up, and learned it, to communicate in code with my Summons, but..."

     Freya was very impressed with the knowledge, much of which she had not learned before in her long life, and she talked in the common Northern Human tongue.

     "I will tell you this now, I will never call you my Master, do you understand?"

     As she spoke these words, she came close, and using the Northern Knight Kickboxing skill I gave her, she nimbly pushed me on my back with her toes, and looked down into my now laying form.

     I could tell she would not hurt me, but I blushed, because this feels like one of those domineering women from my Earth's novels and anime. I swallowed nervously and told her.

     "Teacher, I would never dare, I do not consider you my property, I think maybe the Headmistress might be able to help you? There must be a way to make this right?"

     She could tell I was afraid of her anger right now, so she had to approach me differently.

     Then to my surprise, she reached down, and after looking at my fine quality Rapier, she bent down and started to undo it. I did not dare to stop her, but will she stab me with it?

     Standing back up with it still sheathed, I was surprised to see her strap it to her right hip, and then she drew the blade left-handed, pointed the tip to my nose and told me...

     "You fool, the bond of Summoner and his Summoned Monster is till death, there is no way to undo it without our deaths... Only when you die of old age, can your summons be freed without death. This sword, it will be my gift from my Summoner. Do you have any problems with this?"

     Uh?! Really, is she so easy to deal with? She seems cold at first, but she has been very understanding, and kind... So her Soul was warm and kind after-all, so I with a bleeding heart, losing my treasured sword, said...@@novelbin@@

     "Teacher, if you like it, it is yours..."

     She frowned and realized something.

     "Sam, do you not know my name?"

     "I only met you at the entrance, and did not dig into who you were, I only know you're a teacher of this school. At the time, my heartache confused me."

     Her hazel eyes opened wider hearing what I said.

     "Wait, you felt that as well?"

     "Teacher, I had felt love at first sight, and I was confused about it, because that should not have happened."

     She then sheathed the Rapier, but still did not let me stand, while she softly held me down with her right foot, she then said.

     "My name is Freya Starling, and I will tell you one last thing... You will not treat me like a slave, or I will kill us together... You will respect me as if I was not your Summoned Monster, understand?"

     Ah, Damn this is good, I think she is a reasonable woman, so I smile and promise.

     "Miss Starling, I promise in my life to not mistreat you."

     As she took her foot off my chest, she handed me her palm to help me up, and she said.

     "Don't call me that, just call me Freya."

     As I took her soft hand, she helped me up, and I said back to her request.

      "Then Freya, let us get along together, and I will get stronger to assure you are safe."

     Then the two of us froze as a third party's voice was heard to the side.

     "Sniff, I was touched, keep going, your touching scene is melting this old woman's heart."

     As we both looked over, we saw the Headmistress standing there with a handkerchief, wiping the nonexistent tears, and her one purple eye was watching us very closely.

     Seeing Freya still holding my hand as I got up, she grins and said to Freya.

     "You're fired!"

     I suddenly had an Earth flashback of a show, hearing that famous line.

     "Headmistress, you?"

     The 5 foot tall cute girl in black Lolita dress waved her off, and said.

     "First you made a bet, and you are clearly stronger than that Gold Golem, and do not weasel out, we both know you are, and second, you are now Sam Roland's Summoned Monster, so he is now your job."

     Evil Loli (real name, Evelina Lorelei), walked between us, and she separated our still held hands, and said to me.

     "I have been here for the whole talk, and do not feel guilty for contracting with little Freya here, only WILLING monsters may become Summoned Monsters. When you reached out to her, she accepted you. So, she is your servant, no matter what bullshit she tells you."

     Freya closed her eyes in shame, because when she felt love, she did accept it subconsciously. But Evil Loli was not done yet...

     "And boy, you dare almost summon a 9th Circle Monster in my Academy? Do you know how lucky you are that you failed? Do not even try to summon that creature till you are 7th Circle, or you will suffer greatly. As for the 8th, do you know what it was?"

     As she got close to me, I started to tremble again, I felt that evil Dragon aura locked on me, like it was watching me, and a bead of sweat appeared. Evil seeing this smiled in amusement.

     "H-Headmistress, I-it was a creature far to the e-east, and it was reluctant to refuse..."

     Evil Loli stepped back far enough away to let me breathe, and she noticed with my Magic Core in place, she was able to stand closer without triggering me, closer than the first day. She said,

     "I see, then that creature may not be from the Demon Lands? It might be from lands on the other side of the Demon Lands. I am guessing that creature would have contracted with you, but it must have had something important to do there, and was forced to choose. So not only did you miss a 9th, but an 8th Circle, before acquiring our little Freya here."

     Now that she stepped back from me, I could talk normally, and clarify to this heartless Loli.

     "Headmistress, I won't treat Freya like a normal Summoned Monster, I..."

     "Shut up ignorant boy. You will treat her like a Summoned Monster, because that is what she is. She is the closest creature to you than even your parents. Your very life and deaths are tied together forever. She will damn well do her best to make you strong and safe, and you will damn well treat her like a Queen, because she is your Soul partner, so you two need to deal with it. I am telling you this as the World's Strongest Summoner, not a teacher."

     Freya and I both look at one another, and realize we were just fooling ourselves, and this heartless woman is telling us the truth. So we understand wordlessly. Then Evil Loli said.

     "Now that the awkward nonsense was said, little Freya, drop this shell, because everyone outside is worried, oh, and will you dance for us after?"

     As Freya removed her protective spell that the Headmistress bypassed, everyone curiously looked. Freya was glaring at Evil Loli, confusing everyone, and I said with an awkward smile.

     "Sorry, I did not give her that skill, because I cannot dance, haha."

     Evil Loli said with a grin.

     "Sure, sure, I know this, but little Freya knows how to dance, so that is why I asked, hehe."

     I threw out the stripper pole-dancing fantasy I remembered from my Earth dreams, and asked.

     "Headmistress, can Freya still teach if she wants, I do not want her to stop doing what she wants...?"

     Evil Loli said bluntly.

     "She is your problem, she and you can do whatever, I do not need to take care of her anymore, you are her Master, bye... Oh, and Freya, you have a week to clear out your home, hehe..."

     Freya and I are stunned at this heartless woman... I think that any man who was her husband would suffer endless torment, and a chill went up my spine even thinking such thoughts.

     And then a voice called to us. Vera asked in confusion.

     "Sam Roland, where is your Summoned Monster? Did you fail to call it?"

     After saying that, she curled her lips in a mocking appearance, enjoying my failure. This is reasonable, because making Freya my Summoned Monster is like saying the sun is bright at midnight.

     Freya lost her friendly appearance, and returned to her aloof Teacher Persona, and said flatly to Vera.

     "Your Gold Golem is indeed impressive, but I can smash it clean, so put your smug smile away."

     The 7th Princess is still confused and said.

     "Teacher Starling, I didn't mean to offend you, I just..."

     "No, what I am saying is, I am Sam Roland's Summoned monster, and you need to train really hard if you think I will let your Golem beat me. Goodbye 7th Princess, let us go Sam..."

     And the beautiful Freya gracefully spun and walked to the exit, and coming out of my stupor, I chase behind her, still a bit unsure how to treat her.

     Only the Lich on the field was calm, and she said.

     [Morning class is over, go, go, go, I have reading to do. Now I have to get ready for the afternoon class, sigh... Master is a black-hearted boss...]

     Vera Lucas, watched our backs leave, and her heart trembled, with mist filling her sad eyes in depression...

-

     Freya in front of me looked at my serious face, and she waited to walk at my side, and broke the awkward silence.

     "Try not to stress, let us just do things one step at a time, and eat. Then take your afternoon [Basic Magic for All] class, then we will see what is next?"

     "Then I will listen to you, Freya."

     Freya thought that this easy and kind Master might not be so bad...

     She did not notice her smile as we both walked to the Cafeteria for lunch...
