My Servant System

Entering the lobby of the Academy, I looked around the spacious hall, filled with various scrolls and portraits.

Lining the long crimson carpet leading towards a large set of double doors that were wide open were over two dozen people dressed in long, flowing black robes.

Each person had some colored tassel hanging from their belts, and they nodded to us as we passed.

Someone stepped forwards, Jahi and I widened our eyes in surprise when we saw a familiar figure, her long black hair pulled into a braid, one sleeve of her robe torn off to reveal the coiling snake tattoo that seemed to writhe on her pale skin. The last striking feature was her green slitted snake eyes, filled with mirth as she looked at us.

"My, how much have you two grown? It feels like just yesterday you were both just up to my knees~"

Jahi chuckled as she approached Arch Mage Kolia, looking down at the woman as she said "Yeah, it's been awhile Miss Kolia!"

Wrapping her in a hug, Kolia swayed side to side as she held Jahi, before releasing her and looking at me.

Smiling, she repeated her action, pulling me into an embrace before holding me by my shoulders.

Looking me up and down, Kolia smirked at me, whispering "You've turned out into a fine woman... I guess the little brat already hooked her claws into you huh?"

Raising a brow, I nodded to her, Kolia turning to look at Jahi before sighing.

"Well, as long as she hasn't been keeping you from your studies..."

Chuckling, I nodded again, holding my palm up as an albeit simple ritual circle appeared, rotating above my palm with a blue glow.

Kolia grinned, looking over the ritual circle before pursing her lips.

"Ah... that rune there isn't needed... oh, and this one can be changed to this..."

Widening my eyes, I listened intently to her explanation, recreating the ritual circle with the new configuration, instantly feeling the difference in strength and mana needed to keep it activated.

Kolia grinned at me, laying a hand on my shoulder as she said "I best see you in all the magic courses Katherine."

I nodded, looking at Leone, chuckling at how the vampire was staring at both Kolia and I with wide, sparkling eyes.

Following my gaze, Kolia tilted her head at Leone, before saying "Ah yes, Lorelei's daughter! You were studying summoning spells were you not? Very interesting stuff, that."

Leone nodded, but before Kolia could continue one of the other robed people approached, looking almost identical to Kolia except for the normal robe and the blue snake eyes.

"Sister, they need to get inside to listen to Orientation."

Kolia just sighed, looking at the woman who called her sister with a pout.

"Why's it matter? That old bat doesn't change anything year after year..."

"Sister..."

Kolia sighed again, slumping her shoulders as she looked back at us.

"Sadly Liako dislikes fun... hah..."

Slapping her sister on the back of the head, Liako just stared at us, her face serious as she said "Lady Asmodia, Lady Presa-Ash, Lady Sera, Miss Zara... please, go inside. Orientation starts in just a few moments."

We all nodded, and Jahi grinned over at Kolia before leading us inside.

Walking behind the tall demoness, I found myself admiring the way she confidently walked into the loud room, ignoring the gazes of teachers and students, new and old.

Leone and Anput glanced around the room, looking at the various people with interest.

A teacher walked forwards, leading Jahi, Anput, and Leone towards a sectioned off area.

However, as I tried to follow them the teacher looked at me with narrowed eyes, a slight sneer on his lips as he said "Commoners sit on that side of the room."

Before he could finish his sentence Jahi had him by the throat, growling at him as she lifted him from the ground.

"Did you talk to MY maid like that? Who gave you the permission?!"

He started clawing at her hands, however she just chuckled at his attempt to remove her grip on his neck.

Writhing in her grasp, a few teachers surrounded us, looking at Jahi warily as some of the students gasped and screamed.

"Lady Asmodia... please release Professor Suckthon..."

Peering over her shoulder, Jahi smirked at the female teacher who was slowly approaching.

"I thought that the Academy was meant to be impartial, uncaring of a students origins?"

Leone nodded, her lava like eyes narrowed as she looked at the surrounding teachers.

"Indeed. That is exactly how MY MOTHER dictated that this Academy would be run..."

The surrounding teachers shivered as they looked between the golden eyes of the Asmodia Heiress and the calm, elegant figure of the Princess.

Jahi just yawned, dropping Professor Suckthon to the floor before saying "Besides, what I do with my maid, where I take my main, is dictated by me and me alone. Not some idiotic Professor who can't even protect himself."

She sneered down at man before gesturing for me to follow.

I bowed slightly to the teachers before walking behind Jahi, my heart racing as she ignored the incredulous gazes of the students.

Anput just chuckled, looking at the students with a wide grin, making them turn around.

Reaching the small section with three velvet chairs set out, Jahi, Anput, and Leone all sat, looking at me with pursed lips as I took my spot beside Jahi.

I didn't even need to look down at her to know that her hand was snaking towards my waist.

Stepping back, I turned to look at the servant in the corner, narrowing my eyes at them.

"I can take care of them all."

Swiftly nodding, the servant stepped off of the small platform we were resting on, and I set about making tea.

Jahi sighed, and Anput just chuckled, saying "Aww, are you upset that you can't have your maid warm you up~?"

Looking at Anput, Jahi just grinned at her, patting her lap as she ordered "Come here."

I glanced over my shoulder, chuckling as Anput got up with a shiver, only to be pulled onto Jahi's lap.

Shaking my head, I poured three cups of tea, placing them on the tables beside the girls.

Leone nodded to me, instantly taking a sip from it before looking over the large crowd.

Some students and teachers were looking at Jahi with wide eyes, unsure of what to think as she stroked Anput's ears as the Jackalkin sat in her lap.

I sighed, standing behind Jahi as I started looking through the crowd, noticing some familiar faces.

There were six other platforms like ours, with one seating Jillian Sariel and Ulysses Gragori, both of whom were glaring over at the smirking demoness.

Another platform was occupied by Draka, two maids standing behind her as she talked to a seductive looking Lamia, wearing little to cover her olive skin that complimented her emerald scales.

They both looked over at Jahi, nodding to her.

Seeing the familiar face of Fresca behind Draka, I nodded to the maid, who grinned at me.

The other four platforms were occupied by older students, some looking on in disinterest while others talked among themselves, discussing things with teachers.

I turned my gaze towards the large platform in the back of the room, a podium in the center of it.

Time slowly passed, Jahi flirting with Anput as Leone and I talked in hushed voices, discussing magic as she showed me various ideas she's had, tracing them onto the armrest of her chair.

"... that is why this rune here should be switched out. If you left it as is, that rune conflicts with this section he-"

"All rise!"

A booming voice echoed around the room, slicing through the various conversations happening.

Turning our gazes to the podium, we saw an old man stroking his white beard as he slammed a staff into the floor.

Standing up, I shook my head slightly when I saw Jahi keep a hand on Anput when they rose.

"I am the Vice-Headmaster, Bijilo of the Winds. For the new students, I am the person you will be seeing the most of; I hold the general magic studies. However, that's not what I am here to discuss; please welcome our very own Headmaster, Weskalan Nekonama!"

The stage was covered in smoke as the room rumbled.

All the new students let out yelps and shrieks, looking at the stage with afraid gazes, while the older students and teachers shook their heads, wry smiles on their lips.

A figure could be seen in the smoke, raising their arms as they silenced the room.
