My Servant System



Standing up, the twins approached me curiously, their eyes resembling those of a person staring at a peculiar, intriguing animal that had caught their attention.

Misa and Lisa stopped a few steps away from me, looking me up and down before they began to speak, their voices smooth as silk and beautifully flat.

"You are Katherine, the Dogkin maid that-"

"-has Ice Magic and our younger sister's attention?"

Misa - the one with blue streaked hair and dazzling blue eyes that pulsed with mana - stepped forwards even closer, looking me up and down once again, only to be warded away by Monica.

"Space, Misa. She's a claimed woman, alright?"

That made the first twin nod, her eyes losing that luster as they returned to pure white, though her sister tilted her head as she asked "But she's just a maid, no? Surely Leone wouldn't mind giving us a taste?"

Lisa's sharp, deep emerald eyes almost bore a hole through my head as she stared at me, her green streaked hair complimenting the simple green dress that hugged her bountiful curves.

"Hah... Lisa, sometimes status doesn't mean everything, okay? Yes, she isn't of noble blood, but she has the fancy of the Asmodia Scion, the Begum, and our adorable sister. That means you keep your hands to yourself..."

She nodded, her eyes reverting back to their pure white as well as she turned around, picking up a piece on the chess set and moving it.

"So? We were curious, yes, but..?"

Misa also moved back to the chess set, studying the board carefully before she asked "Is she here to learn from Mother as well? Sorry Katherine, that's not happening today. She's currently getting her wo-"

"Ah! No, shush! Be a bit more reserved, will you?! Goddess above..! Surely you two were planning on training together anyways? Let her join you and learn from your style of Ice Magic, and maybe learn something from her? Either way, being forced to answer a question is always a good thing with magic; understanding your power is the first step to truly becoming strong."

The twins just shrugged, their eyes still glued onto the board as they continued their game, before stiffening as Monica sighed and asked "Katherine, do you find Wind Magic to be more effective, or Water Magic?"

Even though they were still staring at the board, I could tell the two were focused intently on me, their eyes returning to their blue and green states as they waited for an answer.

Monica made sure to turn her head so that they couldn't see the giant grin splitting her gorgeous features, while her sapphire eyes were smug as she beamed at me.

"Wind or Water..? It would depend on the situation. What am I fighting, am I alone, do I have something to empower or hinder my magic? Am I supporting someone or doing everything myself? They are both incredibly versatile schools of magic with incredible depth and potential, so that's a rather broad question with no correct answer."

The golden haired Monica rolled her eyes at me, but her grin remained as Misa said "You can heal with Water, therefore it's better; there is no use for magic if you're dead or severely injured."

"Then don't get injured. Wind can wipe away any enemy through sheer force or cut into anything with enough power. Why bother healing when I can just kill the thing in front of me? Or run if I believe I can't fight it? While your getting eaten and healing yourself with a fang in your ass, I'll be a mile away laughing at you!"

The two stood up and glared at one another, before turning towards me and asking ""Don't you get it?!""

Taking a step back, I raised a brow at them as I raised my hands, replying in a calm voice as I said "But why bother healing or running if I can just freeze the thing attacking me?"

Misa froze, her brow furrowed as she fell silent, while Lisa replied "Then what if it's resistant to being frozen? What then?"

With how animated they currently were, I felt like I was entered dangerous territory, but...

"Then... I'll use Wind to bolster my speed-"

Lisa beamed at me, while Misa frowned.

"And Water to bolster my healing ability before alternating between a highly pressurized blade of water and spears of wind, or vice versa depending on the enemy. That's ONLY if my Ice is entirely useless though, since it is so much stronger than Water or Wind alone."

Misa grinned at the beginning, swapping expressions with Lisa before sighing as she heard the last part, clicking her tongue as she muttered "Another purist... So boring."

Monica turned back to the twins, coughing into her fist as she asked "Didn't that 'purist' of a Mother turn you both into sculptures earlier? Surely you can both recognize the potency of a combined element compared to a normal one? And you both can definitely recognize that this entire argument is pointless considering both sides are laden with proof of working perfectly during battles! All you're doing is simply arguing emotions, which is a waste of time."

They both clicked their tongues as they looked away, making Monica mutter to herself as she looked towards the sky.

"Whatever. Come on, let's get some training in at least. I... agree that Aunt Yusa will be held up-"

"Mom is certainly strong enough-"

"To hold Mother up for long periods of time as she gou-"

"SHUT UP! Oh for... Training! We are TRAINING!"

Monica glared at the twins, who just stared at her in confusion as they whispered to one another, like they were trying to figure out why Monica got angry at them.

Staring at the three from the side, I blinked a few times as I wondered if this entire family was eccentric-

Scratch that, I wondered JUST how eccentric they all were.

But, even with them being a bit odd, it would be stupid to try and deny that they were incredibly strong and talented people, so I sat down with them and began to train my mana, observing what I could from them before showing off my own techniques.
