From beauty to brawn

    by: SkeithTheTerror Author IconMail Icon
It was an ordinary and beautiful day in Chaldea. Or at least it was for everyone except one Mash Kyrielight. It was no secret to anyone except Ritsuka Fujimaru himself that Mash loved the young master. Unfortunately, because that fact was well known among everyone some of Mash's rivals in love had decided to make a move against her.

Dear Master Ritsuka Fujimaru. You are hereby invited to Chaldea's most elegant ball. The most beautiful and intellegant women in all of Chaldea will be there to socialize and make merry over only the finest foods and drinks. Please wear formal clothing.

The invite was giving to Ritsuka earlier today. You know who wasn't invited though? Mash! This was all clearly a ploy by a select group of servants to isolate her from Ritsuka and woo him. The mere thought made her want to rip up Ritsuka's invitation. Unfortunately, she would feel too guilty if she did that.

Mash's first idea was to barge into the ball uninvited and sweep Ritsuka off her feet herself, she had even acquired the perfect dress to do it in! Unfortunately for her, the servants setting up the ball had planned for that and the room would be surrounded with a magical barrier that would prevent anyone entering or leaving the ball until it was over.

So instead she planned something different. While Mash herself wasn't very well versed in magic, a friend of hers was: William Shakespeare. The caster, upon hearing Mash's plight about love and tragedy had decided to gift her a two time use spell that would apparently ruin this upcoming ball in a harmless way.

What that harmless way would be, she actually didn't know. All she had was a small poem saying the spell would 'turn beauty into brawn and elegance into incompetence." Not particularly caring about what it would do so long as it was harmless, Mash recited the chant while thinking about the ball. She had no way of telling if the spell worked, but she trusted Shakespeare

-----

Inside of the ball's barrier, Ritsuka was being welcomed by none other than the goddess Skadi herself, who was dressed in a beautiful purple dress. "Welcome, master. We are honored to welcome you as a guest." The goddess smirked as she took the young master's hand to introduce him to the other guests.

Ritsuka was ecstatic, having lived a relatively normal life before becoming a master of Chaldea he had never experienced the honors of high society or had attended any parties like this before. He had even acquired a suit for the first time and everything. Unfortunately for the clueless master, a certain kohai had just cast a spell which would turn this party upside down.

"Here are our first guests, master" Skadi began as she introduced two servants who were standing around doing nothing in particular. "Princess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia and Princess Baobhan Sith of Britain."

"Pleasure to see you here, Master." Anastasia gave a bow of courtesy.

"Hehe, you'll be around my fingers in no time, master." Tam Lin Tristan laughed to herself.

Giving a nervous laugh, Ritsuka just walked away with Skadi to meet some of the other guests. Once he was out of earshot though, the souls of Anastasia and Tam Lin Tristan left their bodies and were replaced with the souls of some more...barbaric servants.

"What in god's name is this?!" The soul of Iskandar exclaimed from the body of Anastasia. "A dress like this is not fit for a conqueror!"

'Tam Lin Tristan' however didn't hear a word he said, instead she looked at her arms and yelled out "A Spartan cannot be seen with noodles like these!"

--------

Back over by Ritsuka, Skadi led him to the ball's large food and drinks tables. Where Nero, Tamano, Koyanska, and Medb awaited them.

"UMU, Master! I hope this ball demonstrates to you that no servant is more elegant than I, Nero Claudius!" Nero boasted about herself.

"Ohoho! Oh please, master would much rather spend time with a queen such as myself." Mebd boasted in return.

"Oh please, why would master spend time with a queen and emperor when he could instead be in my embrace." Tamano laughed at the other two.

Koyanska didn't say a word though, she was instead merely enjoying the chaos unfolding in front and her and hoping it would escalate into a full-blown fight.

Ritsuka also wasn't saying a thing, but not for a lack of trying. Any time he opened his mouth he would be interrupted by one of the royalty boasting about herself, eventually he and Skadi simply walked away.

Once again the moment the young master was out of earshot the souls of the various servants by the food table were replaced with those not suited to be in such royal bodies.

"The hell is this shit?!" The voices of Mebd, Tamano, and Nero yelled out in unison as they grabbed at their chests. The queen and emperor had their souls swapped with two of the biggest thugs in Chaldea: Sakata Kintoki, Mori Nagayoshi, and Achilles.

Koyanska's body meanwhile was no longer hoping to just observe and cause chaos. Instead she had the soul of a man who lived for nothing more than to cause it: Spartacus! Stepping on a table he yelled out "This tight dress is a symbol of oppression! We must rebel against it!" And with a single tug Koyanska's dress was nothing more than a piece of fabric on the floor.

------

Over in a less chaotic corner of the room, Skadi introduced Ritsuka to the last two party guests. "And of course we have the great Cleopatra and Minamoto no Raikou in attendance!"

"Glad to see you here, Master. Though I hope you don't plan to do anything degenerate as the only man in a room of women." Raikou said with a threatening tone in her second sentence.

"Aha, of course!" The young master rubbed the back of his head and backed away slowly.

Once he had backed away the same thing that had happened to the other women happened to Cleopatra and Raikou. The soul of the brilliant fashionista and the overprotective mother who hated degeneracy were replaced with two men who couldn't even wear shirts: Eric Bloodaxe and Beowulf. Needless to say they weren't happy about wearing dresses.

------

"I hope you enjoy your evening, Master Ritsuka." Skadi said as the final words of her introduction before Ritsuka walked away from her as well and just like every other guest, her soul was replaced with that of a male servant. Being the host of the party she became 'host' of the worst soul of all "Woah! Look at these milkers!" Orion yelled out as he bounced up and down in her body.

Ritsuka remained completely oblivious to any of the body swapping shenanigans that had just occurred. As he look around and saw arguing, chests being grabbed, and even a few dresses being torn he was confused but wrote it off as a high society thing he simply didn't understand and chose to just walk around and enjoy his evening.
