Today marks the first day for second year student Louise Valliere. Who awakens from her sleep upon feeling the sunlight shining on her. After getting out of bed, she changes out of her nightgown into her school uniform, then proceeds to brush her hair and heads off to class after grabbing her wand. Once in class she opens her notebook and sits there patiently awaiting for class to start. After everyone has arrived in class the professor proceeds to introduce herself to the class.
"Good morning class I am Mrs. Chevreuse, and I have been appointed to the Tristein Academy of Magic for the year. My element of expertise is earth and am known as Chevreuse the Red Moon. I will be teaching you about earth-based magic for this year. Now can anyone tell me what are the four major elements of magic?" says Mrs. Chevreuse.
One student gets up to answer the professors question. With a little flair of his hair and flicking the rose in his hand he answers. "The four elements are earth, water, fire, and air. And it just so happens that the element I am able to cast is earth just like you professor. Also known as the Brass, I am Guiche de Grammont".
The professor replies to him "Nice to meet you Mr. Grammont", then proceeds with the lesson. "Now earth magic is very important as it is involved in the revitalization of all things. And for me to demonstrate that to you students, I will have you remember a basic alchemy spell". The professor places some rocks on her podium and pulls out her wand casting the spell on the rocks causing them to become metallic looking similar to gold. All the students gasp while one of the students immediately gets up with surprise and shouts asking if that is gold. Mrs. Chevreuse replies with a no that it is actually brass and the student sits back down disappointed. Mrs. Chevreuse then says "I'll have someone try it now", and looks around for a second at the students and points at Louise, "You there, in the back".
All the students in the class gasp and start to panic a little once they see that the professor has called upon the one student in the whole academy who, whenever she tries to cast a spell always has it backfire and end in disaster. The professor asks what is her name. She replies to the professor "My name is Louise, Louise de la Valliere", and stands up.
One student immediately raises his hand and calls out to the professor. The professor turns to look at the student that called out to her and asks "Is something the matter?".
The student replies "I think it would be a better idea not to call on her", all the students nod in agreement with what he says. The same red headed girl that spoke out when the professor cast the alchemy spell shouts out "It's dangerous! Having her cast the spell wouldn't end well for any of us. If you're gonna have Louise cast that spell it would be better if I cast it instead". Louise immediately becomes irritated by what that girl says.
Mrs. Chevreuse replies to the girl "Dangerous? How could alchemy be dangerous?".
Louise becomes even more irritated as the conversation between the professor and the student goes on. Then she finally shouts out "I'll cast the spell! Please let me do it!". The students start to panic more and get even more nervous with Louise's shout of wanting to cast the spell. As Louise proceeds to walk down from her seat to the professors podium, all the students start scooting as far as they can from her while one blue haired student with a large staff gets up from her seat and walks out of the classroom while reading a book. already knowing what is going to happen.
Once Louise reaches the the podium, she pulls out her wand to prepare to cast the spell. The same red headed girl speaks out to her saying "Louise, stop it before its to late. We all know how this is going to end".
Louise just tells her to be quiet and looks to the professor for instructions."Okay, think hard about the metal you want to transform these rocks into and say Rel In Yan". She nods at the professor, chanting the words for the spell and casts it on the rocks. The rocks start to glow then there is a bright flash of light that lights up the room.
Meanwhile in the headmaster's office. The headmaster of the academy who is known as Osmond is busy talking to his secretary. "Ah, another year has begun with no major problems".
His secretary replies "Yes, there's nothing better than a problem free start to a new year".
"As the academy's headmaster, I could wish for nothing more", Osmond says as he pulls out a pipe.
As he is taking a puff from it, his secretary pulls out her wand, and levitates it out of his grasp saying to him "Taking care of your health is another part of my job as your secretary" she says as she continues working on paperwork.
Osmond gets out of his chair and walks over to where she is sitting groping her butt as he says "Are you really going to take away one this old mans' few pleasures. Miss. Longueville?".
Miss Longueville says to him "Please stop touching my butt". Osmond right away, stops groping her and starts to act senile. She adds on to what she just said by telling him stop acting senile when he is caught red handed.
Then a thought comes to Osmond. "Ah yes, come to think of it, tomorrow is the familiar summoning ritual for the second year students! The familiar is a lifelong servant as well as friend", he says as he crouches down near the floor with a open hand. A little mouse crawling out from Miss. Longueville's skirt and climbing up his outstretched hand up until it reaches his shoulder. Osmond looks at the mouse as he continues talking "My familiar, Motsognir. It has been a long journey together with you".
Then he hands a nut to Motsognir and proceeds to listen to what the mouse has to say. "Oh, I see, white! White as snow!" he says.
After hearing what he just said Miss. Longueville blushes and crosses her legs closed. "I think she would look better in black than white. Don't you think so?" he says.
Longueville gets up standing behind him and says "If you do it again, I will report this to the royal family!".
Osmond replies immediately with "Fool! Don't be upset just because someone peeked at your panties! That's the reason why you haven't been able to get married yet!".
Miss. Longueville gasps at what he says and proceeds to kick him with no mercy with Osmond shouting out sorry and begging for her to forgive him. Then all of a sudden there is a huge explosion that shakes the whole office. "I believe that was Louise again" Miss Longueville says to Osmond.
Back in the classroom. There is a large dust cloud with everything in the classroom destroyed with Louise standing where she was when the explosion happened, her clothes torn in some places and her wand broken. Students start getting up from where they are groaning in pain. The red haired student immediately gets up and shouts "This is exactly what I had feared would happen".
Louise just replies to her "It looks like I screwed up a little bit".
Then Guiche gets up and shouts "Your success rate to date with every spell you've cast has been zero!". Poor professor Chevreuse can be seen lying on the floor unconscious.
Later, as Louise is leaving the headmasters office and heads down the stairs she bumps into the red hair and blue haired girls as well as a girl that was sitting beside Guiche from her class. "So how was it. Are you finally getting expelled? Just kidding", says the red headed girl.
"I'm not being punished", Louise replies. Both the red head and the other girl are surprised that she isn't being punished and ask why is she not being punished, while the blue haired girl just continues reading the book she is holding. "They said that it was partly the professor fault for allowing me to cast the spell even after all the students tried to stop her. Also I just wasn't at my best today" she says.
"You always say that you're having a bad day when a spell goes wrong. You can't even get a real byname, Louise the Zero!" the two girls and proceed to laugh at Louise. She tells them to shut up. "Tomorrow will be quite the sight! I wonder what kind of familiar you will be summoning up? Probably a pretty lousy one" and the girls laugh.
Louise shouts at them "Unlike any other spell, I am confident in the summon servant, if nothing else! Just you see! I'll summon a familiar so amazing that it will be better than anything you could possibly summon" she then continues down the stairs.
The next day, all the students are gathered outside for the summoning ritual. A different professor is there with them talking to them. "Finally, today is the day of the familiar summoning ritual. This will be the first test for you second year students as well as the sacred first day where you will meet your familiars, with whom you will spend the rest of your lives with as nobles" the professor says.
As the professor continues talking to them, the red haired girl speaks to Louise "I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of amazing familiar you said you will summon". Moments later the professor has each student perform the summoning spell.
After the first student casts the spell, that student ends up summoning a floating one eyed creature known as a bugbear. Next up is Guiche who believes that he will summon a familiar that will be amazing as him. "They say the familiar that is summoned is what would best fit the summoner, so for someone like me…", he says to the girl next to him, but before he can finish talking he hears the professor calling for the next student to cast the spell.
"That would be me, Guiche de Grammont, Mr. Colbert. I will now summon the finest, most stunning familiar in the history of the academy" he says and begins the summoning spell. As he is performing the summoning spell the ground begins to shake and then a hole opens up in front of Guiche with a large mole popping its head out. He is surprised that the familiar he summoned is just a large mole. Then he hears a burst of flame and looks over to where the red haired girl is and sees that she summoned a salamander.
"You summoned quite the familiar there, Miss Zerbst" says the professor.
"It fits my byname, Kirche the Fever" says the red-haired girl. Then the professor proceeds to ask if everyone has done the summoning ritual. "Not yet, Miss. Valliere still hasn't gone yet" Kirche says to professor Colbert with a smirk. All the students gather around in a circle with Louise in the middle to watch and see what she will summon.
Louise can hear the students whisper "Louise the Zero", "What will she summon?", "There's no way she will be able to summon anything will her record for casting spells", "We'll just have to wait for the imminent explosion that is sure to occur with nothing to show".
"After all that boasting about summoning an amazing familiar, you should be able to summon a familiar even more amazing than my salamander right, Louise?" Kirche says to Louise smirking at her, expecting Louise to make a fool of herself again by not being able to summon anything.
Louise then begins to cast the spell saying her own words to summon her familiar "My servant, that exists somewhere in the universe! My divine and powerful familiar, answer my call and come forth". She waves her wand and nothing happens. All the students begin to laugh at her and start shouting "Louise the Zero". Then before the students could laugh even further and shout more insults, something impacts the ground in front of Louise.
Meanwhile in another world, walking through the garden in a castle courtyard is a man who looked no more than 18 covered from head to toe in black with the hood pulled over his head, along with a red cloak billowing behind him, and lightweight metal armor over his chest as well as a sword at his left side. This man has lived for centuries due to the fact that he is immortal. Though he may be immortal he can still get sick and die, he just doesn't age.
Having lived for so long he has gained vast amounts of knowledge over the centuries. Not being able to die from old age has allowed him to hone his fighting abilities and magic throughout the many centuries he has lived through. As he walks through the garden he thinks to himself 'At first I was thrilled at about not being able to die of old age, but having lived for so long things have gotten pretty boring. Seeing the same thing after centuries even changing things around the castle doesn't do much'. Just then a glowing green portal appears in front of him.
"Huh, this appears to be a summoning portal, but it doesn't look like any summoning spell I know of, and that is saying something considering how long I have lived" he says aloud to himself. He then thinks to himself that this could be interesting, and decides to enter the portal to where ever it goes to. After exiting the portal, he is unable to feel any solid ground and decides to look down to see he is high up in the sky.
He thinks to himself 'Well this is unexpected', and begins to plummet towards the ground. After falling for a minute or two, he decides to cast some protection and durability spells on himself to protect him when he hits the ground. "Durable", "Harden", "Shield", he says, and his body glows showing the spells he cast going into effect. Moments later he impacts the ground creating a small crater where he lands.
