A/N : There will be a lot of Louise bashing from this chapter onwards. I personally feel that in the anime she beat up Saito way too much so I will bash her here to 'even it out'. If you object to this then just stop reading.

"Japanese so only Ryuko and Inumuta understand."


"So what do we do now? Based on what the maid told us, the people here don't even know whats beyond their continent." Ryuko sighed.

"I think the best course of action would be to establish contact with someone in this school, based on what we've seen so far the entire continent follows this Brimir and is based entirely on nobility. The students here all seem to be nobility, so its safe to assume that nobility is a right of magic users." Inumuta suggested.

"Then who should we contact? These brats are all stuck up and annoying, and the servants around here can't really do much for us."

"I think we should observe the teachers of the academy for now, some of them may actually be trustworthy, and we should also keep quiet about being from another world. We could try and offer some technology in return for help, I have plans for all the machines in our world stored in my memory. Giving them some simple ones should be fine."

"Alright, but if we're gonna offer them technology we need someone who isn't a stuck up annoying idiot who believes magic is absolute, is there any kind of research building around here?"

"Hmm, my scans show there is a building that resembles a workshop on site and there's someone inside."

"Perfect! If someone is using the workshop then they may be just who we're looking for."

"Alright it's this way, but who should talk to him?"

"You of course, you sciency types should get along well."

"Okay then..."


Professor Colbert was in his lab working on his invention after dealing with the second years.'

'And if I connect this here and that there, then put a flame here, EUREKA!'

The engine he was working on sprung to life as the flame in the chamber grew brighter and hotter.

"BOOM!"

Colbert stood there coated in soot as he examined the remnants of his engine. He used a simple wind spell to clear the soot and smoke from the room before picking up the pieces of his engine. He heard a clapping behind him, Colbert turned around to see with blue hair and a jacket which covered his mouth. As he spoke the top of the jacket opened and closed when he was done speaking.

"Well thats a good try for an amateur, but your engine overheated and you can use coal as a fuel source instead of fire magic and the chamber should be made of metal." the strange man said.

'I wonder who he is?'

"Are you interested in engines and other machines?!"

"Yes, you could say I am a travelling scientist of sorts, I go from place to place and observe their technology."

'A travelling scientist! Oh the many things I could learn about!"

"And so what brings you to the academy, I am afraid I do not have much to offer in the way of technology and the others around here believe it is foolish."

"Actually I was hoping I could teach you a few things in return for some lodging, you see my partner and I were travelling when we saw this place, we are exhausted and wish to rest for a few days. My name is Hoka Inumuta by the way."

"Jean Colbert, and where is your companion?"

"She is resting in the forest nearby, I will bring her here if we can find lodging." Inumuta explained.

"How do I know you really possess the knowledge of which I seek? Any proof?"

Inu then pulled out a strange rectangular container with a liquid in it and a metal tip from a pouch with strange wordings on it 'Sparitual Displacement Pouch'.

He press down a switch beside the metal tip and suddenly fire appeared above the tip.

"Astounding!"

"Is this enough proof for you?" Inumuta asked.

'I must know more about this strange fire device from him!'

"What is that and how did it produce fire?!".

"Its called a lighter, the metal inside produces a spark which ignite the fuel in the chamber here producing fire, but it is already over a hundred years old where I come from"

'A hundred years old! That means their current technology must be amazing! I cannot afford to lose this chance to learn more from this mysterious man!'

"That is enough proof for now, follow me to the headmaster's office, we will discuss the terms of your lodging there."

"Very well, lead the way."

As the two arrived outside the headmaster's office with Ryuko following them, invisible of course, Inumuta prepared himself to meet the headmaster of the school. What he saw slightly lowered his opinion of the man. As Colbert opened the door, Inumuta saw a green haired lady with her foot pressing against an old bearded man, who he assumed was the headmaster, against the ground and calling him pervert while he had a very strange look on his face.

"Umm, are we interrupting something?" Colbert asked, also unnerved by the scene before him.

"No no, come right in, OOF!" He said as he was kicked again.

Jean and Inumuta slowly enter the office as the old man gets up and sits behind the desk and the green haired lady went to stand beside him.

"So Mr Colbert who is this man you brought with you? Also please forget what you just saw with Miss Longueville and I"

"Of course Headmaster Osmond, and this man is a traveling scientist who has offered to teach us what he knows in return for lodging for him and his companion."

"O And what has he got to teach us, might I ask?"

This time, Inumuta pulled out a pocket fan and aimed it at the headmaster. He switched it on and it blew his beard to upwards.

"Astounding! What is this thing, how does it produce wind?"

"It is called a fan, the blades spin to create wind, and as I have told Colbert, this is already a hundred years old where I am from. Earlier I showed him an object which can produce fire."

"This is amazing, I shall arrange for lodgings for you and your companion but I request that you share your knowledge with Mr Colbert, you will of course be paid for teaching us. You can also join Mr Colbert in teaching his classes if you wish, I too would like to see some interesting 'things'. Also where is this land of which you hail from, no lands we know of have this technology yet."

"I shall only further discuss this topic at a later date after me and my companion have settled down and are familiar with the surroundings."

"Very well then, Miss Longueville could you please bring me the lodging forms?"

The headmaster did some paperwork and asked Colbert to escort Inumuta to his room. On the way there he discussed the schedule for when he would meetup to discuss about how to improve on Colbert's designs.

As they got to their rooms, Inumuta noticed that apparently the students all stayed within the academy itself. They were placed next to a room of a person named Louise.

As Colbert handed Inumuta the keys to his room, he told Inumuta to get meals from the staff whenever. Inumuta told him that he would fetch Ryuko from the 'forest' later on. As the pair entered the room, they looked around and noted all the features, it was a nicely decorated room that suited nobility well, the bed was a queen sized bed. Inumuta and Ryuko had shared beds throughout our travels in the past so there was no problem there. Inumuta didn't even need to sleep he just did it to pass the time.

Inumuta took out one of his 10 solar batteries and set it out on the window sill to recharge as he took out one of his spares from his Sparitual Displacement Pouch. As Ryuko turned her camouflage off and collapsed into the bed, she instantly felt the soft springy bed's effect as she drifted off into sleep.

As Inumuta fitted in his spare battery, he looked over and saw Ryuko collapsed into the bed

'It must have been a tiring day for her.'

Inumuta looked out the window contemplatively, noting the two moons in the sky using his sensors.

'We finally reached the world Senketsu ended up on, I just hope its on this continent.'

'It seems that Senketsu is not in the academy, but my scans did pick up some life fibers, the signal was very faint so it might be in a vault somewhere. I wonder if I can convince that teacher to supply me with metals I can use to construct a makeshift rocket and satellite, it would speed up the search considerably. For now I have to rest, my batteries need recharging. I think the best thing to teach them about now would be pens, they apparently still use quills here.'

As Inumuta went to sit down on a chair in the room, he heard a knock on the door.

He went to open it and saw the short pink haired magician from before, it was then that he said something that he probably should not have ever said.

" O hey! You're that pink haired brat from earlier!"


'Stupid familiar, disappearing into thin air, when I get a hold of her…!'

As Louise walked back to my room, she saw the door of the room next to her's close and Mr Colbert walk away.

'No one uses that room, could it be a new student at the academy? Well then as a proud member of the Valliere family, one of the most prestigious families in Tristain, I must introduce myself.'

She walked towards the room and saw the new plaque read 'Scientist'.

'A scientist living next to me, I wonder why he's here and how he arranged to live here, he must be very smart if he can convince the headmaster to let him stay here. Maybe he can help with my problem!'

She knocked on the door and when it opened, a blue haired man with a jacket that covered his mouth answered the door. The part of the jacket covering his mouth opened as he spoke.

" O hey! You're that pink haired brat from earlier!" the scientist exclaimed.

'Who the hell does he think he is! Calling me a brat, he doesn't look like a noble, he must be a commoner, in that case I has better teach him some manners!'

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BRAT! I'm a noble and I will not have some commoner insulting me!"

"Commoner? Can a commoner do this?"

As he said that, a flame appeared on his finger.

"You're a noble?!"

"Nope, I'm a scientist!"

He then spread out his palm and held a strange rectangular container and he pressed down on a switch next to the metal tip and produced fire.

"How do you do that!?"

"Science." the man replied cryptically.

'This is getting annoying, I need to know what he is doing here.'

"Who are you? How did you get a room here? What are you doing here? What's with those clothes? And how does that open when you speak?" Louise bombarded.

"In that order, I am a Scientist, Through Science. Scientific Research, Science Related, And Science." He answered with an overwhelming amount of crypticallity.

She stared at him in a way that radiated anger, though he seemed unphased, he opened his jacket to speak.

"Fine fine, I am a travelling scientist, I spoke with Mr Colbert and Headmaster Osmond, I am here to collect data, these are scientist clothes and this opens with technology, satisfied?" He answered.

Louise stood there for a moment to absorb the information.

"Okay, but what about me being a brat from earlier, I don't recall ever meeting you!"

"It was at the summoning ritual, you were being awfully rude to my friend, so its natural that I wouldn't think highly of you for insulting my friend." He replied.

'Summoning ritual? Friend? I summoned two familiars? But then where did he disappear off to?'

"Wait you're my familiar? How dare you treat your master with such disrespect!"

"One: You are not my master. Two: I now see why she wanted to get away from you. And Three: See you in class."

Louise stood there dumbfounded at what just happened, her familiar just denied her and he said something about seeing her in class. Louise exploded into a fit of rage and started banging on the door and demanding that he let her in so she could punish him.

After Inumuta shut the door he locked it and deployed an energy shield just to be safe. He headed towards the bookshelf in the room and decided to read one of the books. The language resembled an olden form of writing used.

'The language and writing are different, hmm interesting, I should collect as much data as possible.'

He heard the girl from earlier start hammering away at the door and shouting at him to come out. He just tuned down my audio receptors and thanked Ryuko's parents for making Ryuko a heavy sleeper. Inumuta really do not want a repeat of the incident at Satsuki's Mansion. He shuddered at the thought of a half-asleep Ryuko pissed at being woken up swinging her scissors around cutting up the walls.

The sun had already gone down so he checked his battery and saw that it was fully charged. Inumuta stored it in his pouch and looked out the window and as the scans said, there were two moons on this world, one blue one red. Fascinated, he amplified his optics and tried to get as much astronomical data as possible tonight. With a new world, comes lifetimes of new possibilities for data.

As he heard the pounding stop, Inumuta assumed that she had given up and returned to her room. He tuned up my audio receptors and continued to examine the stars. Only to hear her shout something on the other side.

"FIREBALL!"

The door exploded and she was blasted back by the explosion.

'Good thing I put that shield there, but its amazing how she's still asleep through.'

The explosion had gathered quite a crowd as Mr Colbert, Headmaster Osmond, some other teachers and a few students gathered to see what had happened. Inumuta quickly dispersed the shield and joined the crowd.

"Blowing up doors in the middle of the night Louise? No wonder you're the Zero! Louise the Zero!"

'So her name is Louise, but what is this about being a Zero? My sensors stated that that explosion held enough energy to power a small house! Being able to create that on a whim is astounding.'

"Enough! All of you return to your dorms!" Mr Colbert told all of the students.

"Miss Valliere, may you please enlighten us on why you have just assaulted Mr Hoka, our new teacher?" Headmaster Osmond questioned.

He stood there slightly amused by her face paling from the revelation that she just assaulted a teacher.

'My familiar is a teacher at the academy now? So thats what he meant by see you in class! But I just attacked a teacher then, but he is my familiar! As his master I have the right to discipline him! I'll just tell the teachers about it, then he'll get it!' Louise thought, as a devious smirk appeared on her face.

"But Headmaster Osmond, he is my familiar! As his master I have the right to punish him as I see fit!"

"Miss Valliere, the familiar you summoned was a female and Mr Hoka as you can see is clearly a male, and even if he is your familiar, what has he done to earn this punishment?"

"He refused to acknowledge me as his master and as such he must be punished."

"Miss Valliere why don't you just try and complete the contract with him to prove he is your familiar?" Headmaster Osmond suggested.

"I can arrange for you to do so in front of the whole school tomorrow if you so wish to prove he is your familiar." Mr Colbert added.

Colbert turned to Inumuta for comfirmation.

"Any objections Mr Hoka?"

"Sure why not, if I'm going to teach here I need to gain the trust of the students."

"That settles it then, please report to the original summoning area after breakfast tomorrow." Mr Colbert finalized.

"I have a suggestion to make, lets make it so that if Louise fails to make the contract with me on the third try, she will have to join Mr Colbert and I in the workshop after lessons to make up for not being able to summon a familiar. If she succeeds, then I will listen to her every whim and command without question." Inumuta said evilly as a devious idea came into his mind, one that would scare Louise to bits.

"I agree to those conditions!" Louise proudly declared.

'I just hope I'm right, since I am technically a consciousness inside a non-living object, the contract should not respond to me.'

"Very well then, we shall make the arrangements." Headmaster Osmond stated.

"Also on another note, I have access to the teacher's section of the library do I not?"

"Yes, just present this to the librarian and she will allow you to look through the teacher's section."

Headmaster Osmond handed Inumuta a ring of keys with each labelled and a ring, which signified that he was a teacher.

"Well now that the matter has been taken care of, let us return to bed, especially you Miss Valliere, our budget for repairing the aftermath of your explosions is running low." Headmaster Osmond turned to Louise as he said.

"If nothing else I shall be going to the library to read up on important matters."

Inumuta went towards the library, thinking of what to look for on the way.

'I should read up on the magic system and laws of the area, they seem to be pretty biased towards the nobles by the looks of it.'

He proceeded to the library and started looking through the teacher's section for suitable books. He sat at a table and began his reading.


A/N : Wow what a long chapter, guess I really enjoy bashing Louise a bit too much, anyway review what you think I should do next and how you think I should work the story through. Thanks for the support and feel free to contribute any ideas you may have via PM or Reviews. Fave and Follow if you enjoyed.
