I edited Louise's dialogue in the last part of the previous chapter a bit. I recommend checking it out.

Haise walked side-by-side with Analise through the almost labyrinthine corridors of the academy. They walked in silence, Haise being caught up in his own thoughts and Analise not knowing what to say. After a few minutes of walking in silence, Analise broke the silence. "So, Mr. Sasaki, why do you wish to visit the library?"

"I want to learn about magic," he replied.

Analise was surprised. "You don't know about magic? You must be from somewhere very far away to not know anything about it."

"Well, you could say that, I suppose. I had never heard of Tristain before now."

"Wow!" She exclaimed, "I've never met someone from so far away! Can you tell me what your homeland was like?"

Haise was a bit taken aback by her excitement. "Well, I suppose I could tell you a bit about it." He felt a tingling warmth run from the back of his hand to his head. "The city I'm from is huge. It's filled to the brim with people. The buildings tower into the sky. It's quite the marvel, really."

"That sounds amazing!" Analise was smiling like a child who had just received their favorite candy. "Did you have many friends?" She asked.

Haise frowned. "Uh, well…that's a bit…fuzzy…I guess. If I can't remember anyone, then it's probably safe to say no, I didn't."

Analise again seemed surprised. "Really? I wonder why. You aren't terrible to be around."

Haise raised an eyebrow. "Not terrible to be around?"

"I meant that in a good way!" She gestured wildly trying to correct her mistake.

Haise, for the first time in a long time, laughed. Analise chuckled sheepishly in response.

After that conversation, they arrived at the library. After entering and getting directions of the librarian, Haise walked over the section containing books about magic and pulled one out. Analise, deciding to excuse herself, said, "If that's all Mr. Sasaki, then I will be leaving now."

"Uh, actually, Ms. Analise…" he trailed off. "Yes?" She inquired. "It appears I can't…read." He finished lamely. Her jaw dropped.

Over the next week Haise continued getting lessons from Analise in his spare time. He also started attending classes with Louise, in which he learned a few things: One, the fact that Louise had summoned him was a source of much teasing on the part of her peers, with many accusing her of paying him to act the part of familiar. An accusation, that was completely idiotic in his opinion. And two, that Louise had quite the explosive nature. The first class he had attended with her had been quite the experience, to say the least.

That morning he had managed to successfully wake up Louise on time though he wasn't too sure as to why he bothered. That aside, he and Louise managed to make it to class on time and followed after her classmates through the door and to her seat. Haise, having nowhere to sit, just stood behind her chair. A few minutes after the class had settled, the teacher walked in. She was a pretty woman with green hair that was tied up. She walked at a brisk pace and settled behind the lectern. She took a breath and began. "Today we will be discussing transmutation." She pointed to the table on her right, "on this table you see an ordinary rock. Today, we will be turning that rock into silver. Before I explain further, would anyone care to try transmuting this rock?"

"I'm sure Louise would like to try, Professor Longueville!" A girl with blonde hair shouted.

The now named Longueville adjusted her rounded glasses, "All right then, Miss Montmorency since you volunteered so kindly, please come and demonstrate for the class."

Montmorency spluttered "Uhh but-" Loungeville cut her off with a glare. Montmorency went to the front of the room and spectacularly failed to make the rock tremble, let alone turn to silver. Her cheeks were tinged with red as she marched back to her seat. "Alright then," Loungeville said, "Perhaps Louise can demonstrate to us how it's done." Haise could smell the fear coming from the students. "Wait, Miss," a girl with blood red hair called, "are you serious?"

"Perfectly. I see no reason to not let Louise try."

"Miss, She'll kill us! She's a walking breach in safety!" Many voiced agreements. Louise bristled in her seat. "Louise, please come up." Loungeville insisted despite the many warnings of the students. Louise moved to the front of the room and raised her wand. Every single one of Haise's instincts warned him to take cover quickly. He and many other students ducked down behind desks barely avoiding debris from the subsequent explosion. The students in the front of the classroom along with the professor weren't so lucky. They were laid out unconscious where their desks had been moments before and Loungeville had ended up on top of what little remained of the door to the classroom opposite the one she had been teaching in. "Louise the Zero killed the teacher!" Someone shouted.

"She actually killed someone this time!"

"She'll finally get expelled!"

"We can finally be free of worry about Louise killing us!"

The insults kept coming. Louise's mouth quivered. She quickly ran out of the room.

Haise followed.

Hello again. First and foremost, sorry for this chapter taking so long to upload, especially with its shorter length. The next chapter might be shorter as well. I wanted to have them in one chapter but it had been a while since I updated and I wanted to get something out. Consider them two parts of the same chapter. I've no real excuse other than being really busy, and me being slow. I've never had an affinity for writing or ever really enjoyed it a whole lot, but it's really the only medium in which I can effectively express my more creative ideas. The next few chapters are going to be real fun. Expect some excitement maybe next chapter, but definitely the one after.
