Hi Kagemoto here, so to uh anyone who's read my first story, I sincerely apologize, I'm having terrible writers block right now and have absolutely no idea how to progress to story forward, so I've made these snippets while trying to unclog it.

This was it, this was her chance to prove she wasn't a 'zero' or a failure of a mage.
All she had to do was summon a powerful and majestic familiar and she'll finally prove to everyone she wasn't worthless.
Louise Françoise 'Le Blanc' de La Vallière, a small pink haired mage, takes a deep breath to calm herself as she waits for her turn.
"All right, has everyone summoned their familiar yet?" asked Professor Colbert, a bald and bespectacled mage with kind eyes and fair but strict demeanor.
"No sir" calls Kirche, a young woman who is the same age as Louise with red hair and a 'gifted body' "Louise hasn't summoned her familiar yet!"
"I see, Louise please come up here and summon your familiar."
Louise scowls at Kirche, who smirked back before walking towards Professor Colbert and raising her wand, taking a deep breath she chants, ignoring the jeers and taunts of her peers.
"My servant that existed somewhere in this vast universe,
my divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant,
heed my call,
I wish from very bottom of my heart and add to my guidance and appear!"
As she finishes an explosion engulfs the area and covers the nearby people, including herself.
(?)
Chara was bored, ever since their 'partner' somehow found a way to get their SOUL back they've lost their only source of entertainment.
Chara sighs and lets out a puff of breath to blow the hair out of their red eyes.
"I wonder when something fun will happen?"
They ask themselves rhetorically not really expecting an answer.
Which is why they were caught off guard when a green portal suddenly opened.
Chara, after screaming loudly, equipped their knife and cautiously poked the portal.
"What...is this?"
The portal seemed to ripple slightly and Chara felt a strange energy coil through them making Chara pull back the knife, which is when they heard a voice.
{My servant that existed somewhere in this vast universe,}
"Where is the voice coming from? Is it from that portal?"
Chara asks looking around
{My divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant, }
"Yes, the sound is coming from there I'm sure of it, what is this servant she speaks of?"
Chara inquires to themselves
{heed my call},
"Ah, I see. The voice seems to be calling for me. Then I think it's time for me to answer that call"
Chara says before floating nearer to the portal and entering through it
{I wish from very bottom of my heart and add to my guidance and appear!}
"After all I am the demon that comes when people call its name."
With that Chara steps through the portal.

The smoke is starting to let up and she could already hear the voices of her peers.
"Great another explosion!"
"I bet she failed again."
"That's Louise the Zero for you!"
Louise shook her head and tried to ignore the comments and the sting they gave.
"Look! There is something in the middle of the smoke!"
Someone calls out, making Louise perk up and eagerly wait for the smoke to clear.
"Oh where am I?"
A voice rings out in an unrecognizable language as the smoke begins to clear.
"How curious."
A young child steps out with a bright and gentle looking smile on their face, the child had short brown hair, red eyes and pale skin, coupled with their small and slim stature it was hard to determine their true gender. The child also wore a green shirt with two yellow stripes, brown shorts and brown boots.
Louise could not believe it, she had summoned a commoner, a child no less! She could already hear the comments about her summon.
"A commoner?"
"A child no less."
"Haha expect a Zero to summon something as useless as one!"
As her peers sneered, she noticed the child tilt their head in confusion and curiosity, their smile never wavering.
She shook her head that was not of importance right now! She turns to Professor Colbert to ask him if she could try summoning again only to stop when she saw the apprehensive look on his face.
"P-Professor?"
Louise asks with a bit trepidation, she had never seen the professor like this before.
The Professor Colbert starts and turns to Louise and shakily smiles, still distracted.
"Oh yes Louise, go on now complete the ritual."
"But sir I-"
"I'm sorry Louise," The professor says sternly "I know what you are about to say and I apologize but you must finish the ritual."
Louise sighs n resignation before she walks up to the child, who says some words she does not understand, and scowls.
"Be grateful commoner, it is not every day you get a privilege like this!"
Louise says to the child who simply raised an eyebrow and a widening of the smile, sighing she pointed her wand at the child making them tense and chanted.
"By the pentagon of the five powers bless this being and make it my familiar!"
She then leaned down and kisses them on the lips.
Immediately the child screamed and clutched their left hand as the sunk to their knees, making her snort.
"Please it's just the rune branding, it'll be over soon."
As soon as she says those words the child looks at her in the eyes, making her freeze. The look she was being given was one of pure anger and hatred, it was the look that promised suffering and it shook her to the core, but as soon as she saw it the look was gone and the child curled into a ball clutching their hand once more.
As soon as the rune branding was complete the child collapsed and started to breathe heavily as the muttered some words and seemed to read something of the air, prompting a scowl before their face reverted to the normal smiling look, the child then turns to her and says.
"What did you do to me? What are these?"
They say as they lift their hands, showing a set of runes, but the runes seem different, twisted looking and wrong. Louise felt sick as she looked at it.
"These are runes, these mark that I am your master."
Louise says after composing herself prompting a nod from the child, as if being turned into a slave did not bother them, as they mutter.
"I see, this is magic then? I thought humans could not do any magic."
Louise gives them an incredulous look but before she could comment, the professor dismisses them.
"All right, the familiar summoning is over. You can leave now"
Louise shakes her head and gestures to the child.
"Come now familiar, escort me to me room."
The child narrows their eyes before nodding.
"Very well."
Louise then stops before turning to the child and inquiring.
"What is your name by the way?"
The child's smile seems to widen before them take a small bow and answering,
"I am Chara, it is a pleasure working with you."
And done
I hope you've enjoyed this
So review and thank you for reading
Demon child of Zero!
Kagemoto Out!
