"I...I'll keep note of that." Rider winced before she looked at the innocent snakes that huddled together.
Stomps came in before the two turned to find Liam bringing a hand-held Jackhammer and a Sledgehammer with both hands. A builder's hat on his head with a pair of safety glasses and a pair of thick rubber gloves. After ditching them by the hall, he got some dynamites and a match before going back upstairs. "Good thing this place is sound proof!" Several explosions occurred before they were followed by a barrage of Jackhammer stomps on the wall with the sound of the sledgehammer pounding the wall.
"And before you ask, this is common." The Lancer interrupted the Saint, who was about to ask the question.
"I...see…"
"He's an oddball and a fool." Scáthach added in before several thumps came in with a few more explosions. A few pounds with the sledgehammer before the sound all stopped. Liam came out of the hall before he fell down the stairs.
"Ow…" He then got back up and got to the supply closet and took out some massive electric screwdrivers and walked back up, falling a few steps before disappearing into the halls.
"Is-"
"No, that's not normal."
Then came in the sounds of auto pistols out of nowhere with a few drilling sounds. A few dragon roars and the sound of flames scorching the halls came in before the sound of a dog whimpering came in with a "Back, I said get back! Bad dog!" from Liam. The man came out of the halls with battered equipments and scorch marks everywhere on them and him. Of course, he fell down the stairs before going back to the supply closet. He came back with his Mystic Code having its effect magic repairing its torn out pieces, the body of the man began to fix his own wounds.
"Lemme guess, you fought a dragon?" Scáthach sighed with a deadpan voice.
"A few of them." Came in Liam's response as his whole body was scorched, he lifted his goggles before revealing an unscorched mark by his face. He coughed a few times with ashes coming out of each coughs. "It was radical. Literally." Liam let out a chuckle.
"And you got burnt?"
"Ashes and stuff, it's fine." Liam shook his head rapidly, causing most of the ash to fly away. "See? Nothing to it."
"You're quite weird." Martha chided in.
"Yes, I realize that when Scáthach-san told me that I was weird not a long time ago."
"And you still are."
"Just shut it, Scáthach-san." Liam wailed onto the woman. "Anyways, I'll get myself clean."
"He's nice." Martha commented as Scáthach sighed.
"Yes, he is nice, but he's also selfless. Something that I don't like about him." The Witch growled. Then came his voice.
"Scáthach! I found a baby gator in the toilet! Can we keep it!?" The Master yelled from the toilet, the two female Servants just gave a look of disbelief to each other.
"I'm calling you, Delta." The baby crocodile gave out a snap of its maw at Liam, who was walking Scáthach to the Academy, she wore a formal uniform of a white shirt with a black blazer, a knee length black skirt, her hair was tied into a ponytail, while wearing a pair of glasses with black frames with a pair of black high-heels. "You look good, Scáthach-san."
"Please refrain from using my True Name." The Lancer reminded.
"Hai hai, Asuka-sensei." He smiled, the calling caused the woman to blush lightly. It has been a while, since she was called a Master or Teacher for a matter of fact. "Just don't let anyone get to your nerves, alright?"
"That...is a good advice actually. Thank you, Liam." The woman gave the man a smile as he merely smiled back before his finger was bit by the crocodile.
"Ouch." Was his only response as the other hand merely caressed the crocodile's head. The two then reached the Academy before the two went in and entered the halls. "This place is a lot more feminine than I thought it would be." The halls were filled with girls walking, Liam being Liam would be greeting the girls left and right before his pet bit more of his finger.
"Liam, your pet…"
"Nothing to worry about, Asuka-san." Liam nonchalantly waved off. To be honest, there was only one fear in entering the place and that was covering Scáthach's presence, which they solved by a lot of runic magic and custom magecraft that Liam picked up from his missions that could alter the presence of one by concentrating his or her mind to think they are something else. So it is possible to make your presence a Devil's or an Angel's by merely thinking about themselves being those things.
"He's biting your entire middle finger."
"I...am not blind, Asuka." Liam gave out a deadpan stare. "Now I can just flip someone out with a crocodile finger."
"Well…" The Lancer class merely chuckled in response. "That is a mildly hilarious thing to do actually…"
"You really think so?"
"I know so." The Queen winked at her Master. "Now, come. I will be coming back in half past three."
"I'll pick you up then." Liam decided.
"If you wish so." The warrior woman shut her eyes with a content smile. The two reached the teachers' office. "Wish me luck."
"I'd be wishing your students good luck. But yeah, good luck with the students." Scáthach smiled before she went in the office.
"Bored…" Liam was petsitting his snakes and crocodile, while teaching them four manners. "No biting each other, alright?" And four of them were quite obedient.
The snakes hissed before they were fed with frozen mice, while the croc was given a string of minced meat. All of them were by the cage that was placed by the counter. "I might even get a baby bearded dragon and a frilled neck lizard."
His day dream was then interrupted by a call. "Liam?"
"Yes, Mary?" It was the closest name that no one will expect when they ask about her being named after Mary, mother of Jesus and not Martha, the Saint, who calmed the Dragon, Tarrasque.
