The dim, orange sun and the chirping of birds signalled the dawn of another day, or at least that was what it seems to be. However, it wasn't just a normal day for anybody today. Today marked the day of the familiar-summoning ritual for the second-year students. Every year, on a certain day, the second-year mages-in-training would do a ritual to summon their familiars, which would be considered their life partners. In the rays of dawn, a certain girl woke up and got ready for the ritual. This girl's name is Louise Francoise, nicknamed Louise the Zero. Her runic name 'Zero' means 'zero compatibility in any of the four elemental magics'. Another interesting to note about her, is that she is famous for her big and destructive explosions. As she walked slowly to the great hall for breakfast, she heard people whispering around her, "What would Zero get?" If this was her first time hearing those words, she'd blow up in anger, but she's heard those words before, so she immediately went to the hall without giving a damn about the conversations around her. However, one of these people seemed to be irritating her. Kirche, a fire mage seemed to be one of her enemies. Those two go back a long way, starting from their ancestors (long rivalry). I wonder what happened to them. Then, all of the second-year students were instructed to head to the giant compound, where the ritual symbols were clearly visible. And so began the familiar-summoning ritual.
In another part of the universe, a slayer was tearing through everything that threatened to destroy him and his friends. This slayer's name is Zoey Zeffrey, a slayer that lives in a world where technology and magic coexist. The people were divided into three categories; there were technos, one that mainly relied on technology alone, the magicas, mages that preferred to only use magic, and there were the fusions, mages who enhanced their abilities with technology. Zoey was one of the fusions. People knew him as one of the highest-class fusions, becuase he is a user of all six elemental magics; Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Void and Ether, and he was one who used technology when it came to battle. He had just finished crushing the final wave of enemies when he had heard the final chanting sounds. "Pentagon of the Five Elements," he was shocked, when he was pulled into a green portal into void. "I call from all over the universe." The portal immediately closed and a hole began to form. "Bless my prayers, and summon to me my familiar!" The hole became bigger under him, and he fell into the hole.
I found myself falling on grass. Wait what? Why did I fall on grass? I looked up to my surroundings and I found a sight which was pretty unexpected. Students were surrounding me, but with a bit of distance from me. I was wearing my outfit which I had gotten from Z, a friend of mine. I just call him Z, because it is very simple. People were looking at me, and that's when I noticed a pink-haired girl standing in front of me. She was actually a bit cute and all, but the big frown on her face made it look worse. She looked a bit like Misha from Katawa Shoujo, except the fact that she's holding a wand. I looked at my surroundings after staring at her for a while. Towers of sort, five towers surrounding a main tower, shaped like a pentagon. Trees and green grass on the floor (mostly). It confirms my suspicions. I'm not on Earth anymore. I made a note in my head to read my foreign worlds book. But for now, people were practically laughing at the pink-haired mage who was standing in front of me. I understood their language, for their language had a bit of French slang in it, and I was a bit of a master in French. One started screaming, "As expected from Zero!" Huh, it confirms that she is a mage, but of what element? Definitely not the classical four elements. I'll think about that later. Familiars, it makes sense. I was summoned here as a familiar for this pink-haired mage. I immediately made a death glare at everybody who laughed. The crowd went silent. I smiled and I told this girl, "Are you going to finish the familiar ritual right now?" She was a little bit shocked, but she continued. "My name is Louise Francoise. By the Pentagon of the Five Elements, bless this man as my familiar." What she did next surprised me. She kissed me on the lips. I knew this was not a romantic kiss, but it was one to seal the contract. Then, when she retracted, runes started being etched onto my left arm. The runes were in Norse, something I was quite good in too. I read the runes aloud, "Gandalfr. God's Left Hand. Familiar of Void." People's reactions were a combination of intrigue, fascination and curiosity. Then, a bald man wearing a magi's robe clapped his hands and screamed, "Class dismissed!" Everybody did a Levitation spell and flew away, while I followed my master, named Louise, back to her room.
However, right before I walked away, the bald man, which everybody calls 'Mr. Colbert', walked up to me and asked me whether what I was saying is true. I told him, "It is actually kind of true. From what I've read back home, there are four types of void familiars, Gandalfr, God's Left Hand, Lifdrasir, God's Heart, Windalfr, God's Right Hand, and Miodaitnir, God's Mind." He seemed shocked and I continued, "I've seen these things happen before on my world. They are not rare, especially for magic-wielders like me, but I've never done rituals like these before. The runes, however, in my world, are sacred runes only etched onto the holiest." I smiled before I proceeded to follow Louise back to her room. One question made me wonder as I followed Louise up a long and windy staircase. Did Louise even bother to listen to my conversation just now with Mr. Colbert? It seems like so, because I saw Louise perched behind me as I told Mr. Colbert about the four void familiars just now. Once we reached Louise's room, I noticed how clean and efficient Louise was at cleaning her room. The rooms were clean, and each item was assigned into its own spot. That makes it easy for her to grab whatever she needs, that simple. I noticed that all of her steam gained from the earlier times were all gone, and instead was replaced with a big grin. She sat on the bed and asked me, "Do you know magic, in any form?" I smiled which meant that I knew magic. I'm guessing if that her name was Zero, she'd need all the help she can get. She then continued, "Is it okay if you taught me how to do magic? The only thing I can do at the moment is explosions." I looked at her and smiled for a second before telling, "Let's go somewhere spacious. That way, you can show me your explosions without causing much damage to the 'Academy'".
We went down the staircase, and we walked to the courtyard where the summoning was held earlier on. It seemed to have become evening, and I prepared to embrace the explosions that Louise were about to show me. Then, Louise started using every spell she could do. The only things come out of it were explosions. I remember reading on mage abilities a few weeks ago. Fire mages were a bit hot-headed, so they had a very low temper and easily lost them. Water mages were cool, and they were futile from anger. Earth mages had a sense of pride in themselves, and they were resistant with emotions. Wind mages never easily lost their temper, and they are similiar to water mages. Ether mages are the holy ones, and they usually wore white robes to signify that. Void mages were capable of explosions that could destroy armies in no time if done right, but they are also hunted ones. They aren't that capable of blending themselves within the environment, but if their power is controlled and fully trained to the maximum, they are practically the meaning of mass destruction. Louise filled all of the boxes of evidence with answers. She was practically a void mage whose powers can cause destruction. I never told her that, but instead, I told her, "It's becoming night time already. You should go and sleep." She then replied, "Okay, but make sure you do the laundry. It's in my room." I was a bit surprised, but well, meh. We went back to her room. She went for her night sleep and changed into her nightgown.
I, on the other hand had no clue on where to go, until I was walking in circles. Coincidentally, a maid who was doing her chores happened to suddenly bump into me. I noticed her and I told her, "Sorry for what happened just now. My name is Zoey. What is your name?" She replied, "I'm sorry. You must be Louise's familiar. My name is Siesta." General Fact: Siesta means 'nap' in Spanish. I'm not surprised. I replied, "Word sure spreads fast when it comes to her, doesn't it? Can you show me around the Academy? My master has asked me to do her laundry." She said sure, and I followed her to where she needed to go. Down the stairs, and into the cellars, we found ourselves at the laundry area. Man, I hated doing laundry manually. If only they had laundry machines in every room, it'd be easier. I watched Siesta doing the laundry just as I was blank for a while. This girl was very humble and honest, and that's when I sensed some magical potential in her. She was a secret ether mage. How? There were only five elements in this place, which I don't even know the name of. I should ask her after this, because if she has the right mental and physical capability, she will be able to become a square-class ether mage, possibly even a pentagon-class ether mage. I am technically considered a octagon-class elemental mage right now. After she was done, I asked her whether she'd want to lay under the stars. She smiled and said yes. It was obvious that she really was happy for company. We laid on the stars for a while before falling asleep, her head on my arm. She smiled as she dozed off. I noticed that blonde-haired boy, apparently flirting with a girl. I did not mind him as I fell asleep under the glowing stars.
The next morning, I woke up pretty early. I brought Siesta to the maids' quarters, where I placed her on her bed, and I brought up the laundry to Louise's room. She was still fast asleep. Man, is she a long sleeper? I screamed into Louise's ear, and that seemed to do the trick. She woke up in no time and she noticed me, calling me, 'familiar'. Ah, eventually she'll stop calling me that. She dressed up and notified me that today was the Void Day, where it was a sort of familiar-master bonding day. I knew that it was definitely not in a romantic way. I realized that I'd have to change my outfit later on. It was starting to be a little bit dirty. We went down into the great hall for breakfast, and I was notified by Siesta that the great hall was only for nobles, and that I could go into the kitchen. Hmmm, I'm pretty hungry, so I went to the kitchen anyways. There, I was greeted by the head chef, who the maids call 'Marteau', who was really thankful for me taking care of one of the maids, which I assumed means Siesta, and he prepared a nice breakfast for me, bacon and eggs. It was really nice, and I thanked the head chef as I went out of the kitchen and to the courtyard for a nice rest. I asked Siesta if I could help her with anything. She said that she would need help to serve the deserts. I open-heartedly agreed to the deal, and I took the trays and walked to the tables, serving the deserts, and I was met with nothing. No thank yous or such. Hmmm, I'll think about showing them to give me respect. Then, I noticed that a glass bottle fell from a chair. I picked it up and placed it on the table it fell from. Then, I noticed that blonde-haired guy with ANOTHER girl.
