Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem

Lexi didn't despair just yet, but she felt hopeless and listless. Her excitement at visiting Zach and summoning a familiar to show off yet again how talented she was had completely faded. She sighed and put the egg in a pocket.

Zach put a comforting hand on his big sister's shoulder. All of a sudden, she didn't seem that much older or taller than him.

"Lexi…"

"..."

"Maybe this experience has taught you some humility," he said in a low voice. There was not a word of comfort in what he had just said. He was kicking someone who was already down. But it was his sister, so it was fine.

Lexi's head rose and she looked straight at Zach.

The hand on her shoulder was solid, noticeably so. It wasn't blocky like Leonidas' or their fathers' hands, but it was broader and sturdier than it was just a couple of years ago when Zach was even more of a brat than he was now.

It was proof that he had worked out regularly and intensely lately.

"Let's spar." Lexi grabbed Zach's wrist and twisted it, pinning it behind his back as she pushed him forward toward an available training room.

The principal stroked his chin as he looked at Lexi, his gaze penetrating the outer layer of her jacket and focusing on the egg. Forget meddling in their sibling squabble, he wasn't even thinking about the two Evandiels.

Summoning an egg as a familiar was about as rare as summoning an F-rank or S-rank familiar, especially as the first familiar. But Lexi's egg wasn't just an egg or a familiar that looked like an egg. It was a mysterious egg that the summoning interface couldn't accurately assess or determine the origin of.

In terms of rarity, the egg was more special than summoning an S-rank angel. Zach might have the edge just because of the battle maid variant of his angel. But it was a close race in terms of rarity. Zach won in terms of strength.

But in terms of potential?

If Lexi's egg was anything like the eggs the principal had seen, heard, and read about, it wasn't even a race. The one thing that all familiars starting as eggs have in common is ridiculous growth potential.

There is also a clearer correlation between the summoner's potential or strength and the familiar's potential in those cases. The more extraordinary the summoner, the greater the familiar's growth potential, and Lexi is nothing if not extraordinary.

If she learns how to nurture, care for, and raise that egg to its full potential, there would be no telling what rank it might reach in the future.

The principal's eyes lit up as an idea flashed through his mind.

Just like human babies, nourishment was important during the earliest stages of development. He just had to check something first and get those cheeky bastards to return before Lexi left.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The principal disappeared from the spot as a last question ran through his mind.

Why had the summoning interface deemed a mysterious egg the perfect familiar for Lexi?

The principal was curious, but he wasn't quite at the level where he could freely question the summoning interface, much less regarding other summoners. Fortunately, he had all the time in the world to wait and see how it would go for Lexi and Zach. He would find the answers he wanted sometime in the future.

One of the perks of pseudo-immortality.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Academy, Lexi had dragged Zach into the training room that was still occasionally used as Alzara's lab and workshop. Lexi had been at the Academy for a total of less than a full day, but she still found her way around better than Zach did.

In the training room, Lexi had already grabbed a sword and forced Zach to accept her spar.

Since he wanted to talk about humility, she was going to teach him all about it.

Zach figured that Lexi probably needed to vent after summoning such a low-ranking familiar, so he didn't resist, even if he didn't stop verbally protesting. That was also why his familiars didn't intervene. It was just an ordinary fight between siblings.

But there was another reason why neither Zach nor his familiars stopped the fight.

He was curious.

So far, he had trained with the other students and his friends in hand-to-hand combat. He had also fought with his familiars and Nora. But the maids held back, and the others weren't strong enough to break his barriers, so it didn't simulate real fighting.

Lexi, however, would hold back enough not to injure him too badly. But she was fully aware of the kind of great healers one could find in the infirmary of an Academy. She had also done some recon and found out about the miraculous potions Zach was selling.

She couldn't bear to cut off a limb of her own brother. But he was, as promised, going to learn some humility.

Zach was looking forward to it.

He hadn't trained his brains out for nothing.

He raised his hands, and Lexi pointed her sword horizontally at him with one hand. The air subtly swirled around her free hand. Her eyes glowed slightly red.

Swordsmanship, magic, and Domination. She was going to use all three from the beginning. She was not going to hold back.

Lexi was confident. She didn't think she would lose. In fact, she was convinced she could win whenever she wanted.

But she didn't underestimate her brother. As incredible everyone in their family was, the one she least wanted to underestimate was Zach. He had a knack for subverting expectations.

Besides, she had heard about how he was the first in history to return alive from the twelfth Trial of the Labyrinth of Syst. Since she had gone through it herself, she knew the Labyrinth of Syst wasn't the best indicator of direct fighting ability. But being able to fight helped.

That was why Lexi made the first move. Experience exclusive tales on empire
