Jaune was on his way to the Lustatorium with his materials. The Elder Scroll of Dragon, together with his test materials, dust that came from Team RWBY and NPR, Daedra Heart, ten grand soul gems, black soul gem shards, and few crimson nirnroots, all in a big basket that he carries using his telekinesis spell. He was humming happily as he was in a good mood.
He proudly wore his Mages Guild robes and Amulet of Kings with the Staff of Magnus on his back. Team RWBY, NPR, CFVY, and Glynda were on his university studying magic and he was happy to share the gift of magic to them. And with him near the completion of an oblivion gate to his homeworld, he was also willing to teach them magic and gave humanity and faunus the advantage and push that they need to gain the offensive in their perpetual war against the Grimm.
Little didn't he know that someone is going to summon him.
Tristain Academy of Magic.
A certain pinkette was looking to her mirror. She wore a skirt together with a white button-up polo shirt, fixed together by a purple cloak with the Seal of the Five Elements.
She pointed her wand in front of the mirror with a cool and confident atmosphere around here, "Louise Vallière. This is your moment to prove them wrong!" She beamed up but that quickly changed to a frown. "Ugghh, what if I don't summon a familiar?" She doubted herself.
A knock was then heard from the door, "Ms. Vallière! The summoning ceremony would start! Monsieur Colbert calls for you!"
She flinched back as she heard the knock. She then straightened her clothing, put her wand back in the holster, and stood with a fragile confidence, "I-I'm going down!"
She walked down from her dorms to the open space where they would summon their familiars. Everyone was already summoning theirs. She looked to her right and she saw the blue haired girl, who has roughly the same height as her, Tabitha, reading a book quietly while a blue dragon was snuggling her.
On her right was the flamboyant party boy, Guiche de Gramont, who looked like he summoned a giant mole. Together with him was Kirche von Anhalt Zerbst, who summoned a large flame salamander. Her face was showing indifference but inside of her was a brimming sensation of awe mixed with jealousy and sadness.
She was regarded by her peers as "Louise The Zero" despite her name has a connection with the House of Tristain. A noble of birthright yet can't even cast a simple transmutation spell. And all of her spells always end up having an explosion. She was the daughter of Karin the Highwind for Brimir's sake! Yet she is a failure of a mage. Her academics and theory might be excellent, her application, however, is poor.
Kirche looked at her back, and called out to the class, "Professor Colbert! Zero still hasn't summoned hers!" Everyone laughed at her as she seemed that every laugh, her name "Zero" was the ultimate punchline. Nobody expected anything from her.
Louise straightened up and walked like a commander. "Shut it, Zerbst!"
"Quiet!" Professor Colbert, who had a bald hair and eyeglasses, shouted to the class. "Miss Vallière, if you may. Just like we practiced." He smiled at her. Mr. Colbert was one of the professors who tried everything that he could to help Louise. However, even if he tried, his work didn't bear and fruit.
"Professor? Seriously? Like Zero is going to summon anything!" Guiche joked and again the students laughed.
"Make one more noise and I'll give you all a special quiz!" Colbert shouted back and this time, everyone shut their mouths with immediate effect.
Louise just ignored their heckling and went to the summoning circle. She was nervous, shaking inside her mind, but on the outside was a calm and collected plate of steel. There she chanted "O, great familiar from the heavens that heathens shall fear your light! I! Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Valliere, summon thee!"
Everyone snickered when she said those words but when her summoning spell exploded, they all couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter.
Louise panicked as her chance of redeeming what's left of her dignity, literally exploded. However, there is still a small sliver of hope within her, that from the dust that still doesn't settle, her familiar, her mighty godlike familiar, would be revealed.
Once the dust has settled, there at the ground was a blonde man wearing a blue robe with intricate patterns, leather boots and gloves, a large red diamond amulet, and a staff on his back. At the ground were was a basket full of things that this guy probably bought.
Louise, much to her relief, summoned something. But she felt dismayed and more jealous of her peers because it looks like this guy is a merchant. The blonde stood up from the ground and he immediately rushed to the basket, checking its contents. All eyes were locked on this blonde haired guy.
"Thank Akatosh." The blonde guy breathes out in relief. He then stood up and checked who did that spell as he was livid. He was busy doing something and now somebody dragged him with a teleportation spell. The Archmage of the Arcane University of all sorts?
"You..." Jaune marched to Louise, but she looked at him like a commoner in their lands, "Do you have any idea what you just did?!" He screamed at her but she didn't understand. Everyone looked at him like he was some sort of a pretender noble, carrying a staff that puts their wand to shame. Murmurs of him declaring that he was a barbarian spread everywhere.
"Mr. Colbert, can I repeat the summoning process?" Louise asked his instructor.
"I'm afraid not, Ms. Vallière." Colbert shook his head, "The Summoning Ritual is a sacred thing and doing it again is heresy against the Church."
Jaune then pointed his staff at Colbert who took that as a warning, "You...wait...what language are you using?"
Colbert quickly realized what was the problem. He then casts a translation spell to Jaune. "There, that should do the trick."
Jaune's eyes widened as now he can understand what he is saying, "Wait, okay now I can understand you. You seem to be their instructor. Mr..?"
"I'm Professor Colbert of Tristain Academy of Magic."
"Tristain? Where in Nirn is that?" Jaune asked him but second by second he was losing his patience. He hides his anger but from the tapping of his boot, it was clear that he was hiding his anger and demanded an explanation.
By this, everyone again laughed at what Louise summoned. "He doesn't know where Tristain is? What a barbarian!" One remarked.
Jaune just ignored their sentiments, "Sir, we are in the Kingdom of Tristain. We are north of Gallia and west of Germania. And we are in the Tristain Academy of Magic."
Jaune narrowed his eyes as he tried to comprehend where he is, "I do not know those places that you spouted out. Where I'm from is from Tamriel, and I was currently conducting an experiment." He then turned to Louise who felt his anger. "And someone here is clearly irresponsible enough to use a teleportation spell to teleport me into a foreign land when I am clearly doing something important!"
Louise widened her eyes as she realized something, "Wait...y-you're a mage?! A noble?!"
"I'm not a noble. However, I am a mage. My name is Jaune Arc, the Archmage of the Arcane University." He said proudly to her. "And now, you girl should return me to where I'm from. I'm not going to even bother knowing your name, just return me so we can forget this thing ever even happening." He restrained.
Louise was shocked that she summoned a human that is capable of doing magic. He even declared himself as an Archmage, a title only given to a legend in Tristanian folklore. But, she didn't believe it that he can do magic.
"Mr. Arc, I'm afraid we can't do that. The summoning familiar spell is a sacred ritual and in doing so means that it would be blasphemous against the Pope." Colbert answered for her, "And also, unfortunately, we don't have that kind of spell."
"So...what you are basically saying is...that there is no way I can get back...and you are all taking me as a hostage. Am I correct, Mr. Colbert?"
"Umm..no but-"
"Am I correct?!" Jaune shouted and everyone felt the force of his shout. The ground slightly trembled and they were shocked to feel the power of his shout that even the familiars of the students hid at the backs of their masters.
Colbert gasped at his shout and slightly prepared his wand as he now knew that the Archmage is angry, "Yes, sir but we are not taking you as a hostage. Ms. Vallière here summoned you to become her familiar."
"And from my knowledge, familiars are BOUND to the will of the summoner. Basically, turning ME into a slave." Jaune thought for a moment as he saw Louise slightly trembled but still gathering her resolve. He then casually summoned a Lightning Atronach from Oblivion.
That amazed and even shocked the students that someone just casually did what they did and it looks like he wasn't even trying. The fact that this guy summoned something that has the element of "Lightning", the fact that in their magic, only advanced or square type mages can only do that is just amazing and terrifying to them.
The rocks that float from the air and the blue glow of lightning with dust and rocks flying over the summon caught their eye. Clearly, Louise summoned a mage and a powerful one at that.
"Do you see sentience? No. Because that Atronach is bound to my will and will follow my every command. So, you are willing to do this to me?" He seethed to them in disgust. "I hope you have a better explanation for this kind of transgression, Ms. Vallière, and Mr. Colbert. Now, explain."
"S-sir, we are just doing an activity to the students, that being the Annual Familiar Summoning Ceremony for the second years. I apologize to my student's behalf that she summoned you, however, we have no spell available for you to go back to your world. And the familiars summoned by students have sentience-"
"By which the sentience is only limited to the summoner." Jaune finished for him. "So, let me guess. You're going to do something to bind me to her will? A rune or a stone, perhaps?"
"Y-yes." Louise shakily said but still gathered her resolve, "And would you listen for once! We are not going to bind you into a slave, you are just my familiar!"
Jaune thought for a moment then smirked, "So, you want me to be your familiar? Then show me your magical prowess, prove yourself worthy! Show me a spell that would impress even Neloth!"
However, instead of encouragement, he saw that Louise shook her head and is slightly shaking. "I-I can't."
"You can't? Everyone can learn magic!" He declared, shocking the student populace, "So show me."
"I can't!" She shouted, "This is the only spell that I have done correctly! Even if it is, it even ended up in an explosion!"
Jaune instead of being angry softened his expression. He saw a little bit of Weiss in her, always stuck up and acting like a noble while on the inside was a girl whose burden of family legacy turned her into a stoic machine, making it up to their family name.
"So you want to learn Magic?" He asked her.
"What?" She asked him.
"Maybe the way they thought you magic was inconsistent and you need another way of Magic. Then I will not become your familiar, but your instructor while I'm here in Tristain. I will teach you and one day I hope you surpass me. Care for a little demonstration?" He smirked.
She nodded. "Hold my staff." She then reached his staff and once grasping it, she felt unimaginable amount of power.
He then clasped his hands together and floated in the air. The students simply scoffed at this mage declaring that anyone can learn magic, and if that levitation spell is "the demonstration" then they're not impressed. However, Jaune landed back on the ground and aimed his head up high in the sky.
He pointed both of his hands and joined them together until a stream of concentrated lightning appeared from his hands. Their jaws were on the ground as they see this person, without a wand, cast a Square-Mage Spell or no, not even a Square Rank Mage can't cast something like that!. It even looks like the spell was very powerful!
Jaune then stopped the magicka from pouring out, "That is a Master Level Destruction Spell. So, if you are willing to exchange...my enslavement...to train you in the ways of magic in a proper manner. If you are willing to, I will train you. How's that sound?" He smirked.
Louise who hadn't done a single spell correctly, was being offered magic that she can do! She hesitated but still, "Uhhhh...I...I still have to think about it."
"Fair enough." He then grabbed his staff and grabbed his big basket with telekinesis. "If you all don't mind I have to test my research, to open an Oblivion Gate back to Tamriel."
"But what about my training?" She asked him.
"Frey not. When I open the Oblivion Gate, it would be open until eternity. But still I have to reverse alchemy the formula for the Oblivion Gate not to open on Remnant, but to Tamriel. I expect you Mr. Colbert and Ms. Vallière to pay for the expenses of my stay here since you two are responsible for me being here. I still have time, however, I need to get back to Tamriel, my way."
