A/N: So...hello everyone. been a while huh? around 2 months to be exact.

i've been busy recently with school and stuff so i wasn't able to write.

First months of 11th grade was really hard on me...

Man...I feel like such a hypocrite for not updating in a while...but that's life i guess.

Sorry about that, but here i am today with another chapter of this story.

And if any of you are wondering, i'm not abandoning this story anytime soon. But do expect longer updates from now on.

Here we go, Enjoy!

Last time

"Enjoy your lunch! I heard today's stew is extra special!"

Louise continued on her way to the Dining hall, looking forward to the training session she will have this evening.

Louise's Room

Right after Louise finished her stew- Which does seem to be tastier than usual- She went on back to her room for her training session, Inside she finds Chara lying on top of her Mattress staring up at the ceiling.

After a few seconds, Chara finally notices her, "Oh! Hey Louise, Didn't think you would be back so early." She said with a smile before standing up, "So how was the stew? Pretty good right?" She asks Louise.

Louise nodded, "Yes, it was." She simply said.

"So... since your the only one here, I'm guessing Siesta's not joining us today?" Chara asks.

"No, I asked her but she said that she needed to catch up on her work due to yesterday, so she couldn't come." Louise explained.

"Welp, That's a shame." Chara shrugged, " So, you ready?" She asks her as she lends her hand.

Louise nodded and took her hand, "Let's go."

The sensation of the world distorting around her as she warped is beginning feel familiar to her, and in a blink of an eye, the both of them find themselves in a familiar clearing of the forest around The Academy.

"Here we are." Chara said, before turning to face Louise, who only seemed disoriented instead of feeling nauseous, "Well look at that, Guess your getting used to to warping eh?"

Louise nodded, "Yeah, it's not as bad as when you first warped with me."

Chara clapped her hands, "Alright, today we're going to work on control, you said you were trying to mix soul magic with your worlds magic?" She asked.

"Yes, when i tried to transmute some pebble into gold." Louise Explained.

"Can you try doing it again? i wan't to see the process." Chara then picks up a nearby pebble, "Here, try turning this into gold."

"Alright, but can you just put it back down? and also take a couple steps back, I don't wanna risk it exploding on you."

"Sure thing." Chara lays the pebble down and took a few steps back, "When your ready."

Louise pointed her wand at the pebble before she channeled her magic, "Rel In Yan" And the tip of her wand started glowing, but before the spell was fully casted, she did the same thing she did at class and channeled some of her Soul magic, causing the glow to turn from a soft white to a brilliant red glow.

Chara watched with intrigue as the pebble began glowing as well, the glow started to fade a little bit, before revealing a gold nugget replacing the pebble.

"Woah, that's cool." She said in wonder, but before she could comment further, the gold began rapidly blinking red lights, "Oh no! Chara Look out!" Louise yelled out.

"Oh shoot!" Chara lifted her arm and focused her magic to create a protective barrier around her body, despite this and being a few steps away from the gold, she still got blown away by a few feet by the explosion, although she managed not to fall.

"Well that was something." Chara said as she pats away the dust from her jacket, "There was definitely too much power put in that spell."

Louise looked confused, "But i don't feel tired at all!" She said.

"I already said that you might have a larger pool of Willpower, not counting the extra magical power from your soul trait being Determination." She explained.

Chara then pondered for a moment, "Alright how about this, do you know any high tier spells?" She asked.

"A few, why?"

"Try casting one of them, Maybe you have trouble doing basic magic because you have too much willpower, and as a result you keep causing explosions because you are overcharging the spell." Chara explained.

Louise looks thoughtful for a moment, "Alright, i'll try." She prepares her wand and pointed it up.

"What spell are you going to cast?"

"It's a square class fire spell called Blaze Inferno, A square class spell." Louise explained,

"Get behind me" She tells her.

As Chara steps a few feets behind her, Louise started her chant, "Coruscare Infernum" She Poured as much Willpower into the spell.

When she looks back at this moment, she will always remember the feeling of heat on her face as a large gout of flames Spirals from the tip of her wand, Illuminating the forest for a moment before dissipating. A feeling of pride swelled inside her.

"I-i did it, I managed to cast an actual spell!" Louise cheered with a genuine smile on her face.

"See? I told you, the reason for most of your explosions are overcharged spells," Chara said, "Now, since we know your actually capable of casting high tier spells, we need to work on your control so you can cast basic ones."

Still feeling happy from her successful casting, Louise turned to face her, "Alright let's do this!"

Chara gave a small laugh at that, "Well someones excited." She said.

"How can i not be? I just found out that i'm not actually a failure! Of course i'm excited!" Louise said.

"Alright-alright, let's start," She picks up another pebble, "Here, try casting the transmute spell again, but follow my instructions."

Louise nodded and pointed her wand at the pebble.

"Start chanting, but when you are channeling your willpower try to reduce the amount that you are using." Louise nodded and began chanting, "Rel In Yan." She felt the familiar drain on her willpower, She imagined the gold she want the pebble to transmute into, but now she tried to limit the amount used on her spell, it felt like she was trying to slow down a large torrent of water. The effort actually strained her concentration, causing a small bead of sweat to appear on her forehead, she can still feel her willpower flowing in great amounts into the spell, but She was Determined to succeed.

The light on her wand turned in to a familiar red, but somehow it was dimmer than usual, a small ball of red light appeared in front of her wand and slowly floated into the pebble, engulfing it.

Louise panted, her hands on her knees, the effort to limit her willpower took a toll on her, a thin layer of sweat covered her head.

"Well, i think i can safely say that you succeeded." Chara Said with a grin as she holds up the transmuted gold, no blinking lights or any sign of it going to explode, "Congrats."

"Y-yes! I did it!" Louise exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Still, if it took that much out of you just to reduce the amount of Willpower being used, then we still have a lot of work to do." Chara said.

Louise slowly nodded, "Y-yeah, *pant* that was actually harder than i *pant* thought." She said.

"I guess your done for today let's get you back to your room." Chara said as she took Louise's hand.

In a blink of an eye they find themselves back at Louise's room.

"I think i will go to the bathhouse to freshen up." Louise said as she took off her robes.

"Sure, I'm gonna go explore for a bit." Chara said.

Louise's face suddenly lit up, "Oh yeah! I almost forgot, tomorrow we're gonna go to the capital city, Tristania."

"What are we gonna do there?" Chara asked.

"Well, i thought that since your from another world, you would like to see some of the wonders and cultures from mine." Louise explained, "Plus, maybe we can buy something nice for you."

"Come on Louise, You don't have to do that for me." Chara said while rubbing the back of her head.

"It's fine, Think of it as a gift for helping me with my magic, and for showing me how to do your soul magic, okay?"

Chara sighs, "Alright - alright, if it makes you happy then i'm in."

"Okay then, have fun exploring!" With that Louise left to go to the bathhouse.

"Alright," Chara hummed, "Where to go next i wonder?"

With Longueville

While standing at the Vestri court, Longueville took a deep breath, Enjoying the fresh afternoon air. Working for Osmond was more than a little annoying, what with his lecherous attitude and that stupid little mouse of his.

But what can she do, she had a job that's needed to be done and if she has to withstand some old man trying to relive the days his youth, then so be it.

She supposed that with her having some free time tomorrow. she could head out into town, she think that she at least deserve a day off, besides she didn't think that anyone would notice if she went out for a few hours.

As she pondered, she notices someone lurking around the hallways, when she takes a closer looks, she sees that the person was the Valliere girl's familiar, so she decided to approach her.

"Hello there young lady." Her words seemed to startle the girl, "You are miss Valliere's familiar are you not?" She asked.

The girl seemed to snap out of it, "Oh, yeah, that's me, What's up?"

"I was wondering what you are doing away from Miss valliere, aren't familiars supposed to stay with their summoners's side?"

The girl shrugged, "Louise wanted to go to the bathhouse, so i decided to explore for a bit, i was actually looking for a library." She explained.

"Oh! if you wish to go to the library, just head to the hallway of the dining and turn right near the classrooms, the Library is at the right side."

The girl smiled, "Thanks for the directions," She said, before a look of realization dawned on her face, "Ah! i almost forgot! My name is Chara Dreemurr, So called Familiar to Louise, What is your name?" She asked.

"Oh my, pardon me for forgetting to introduce myself, my name is Longueville, Secretary to Headmaster Osmond, at your service." She bowed slightly.

"Well miss Longueville, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it." Chara said as she offered her hand.

"Glad to be of service." Longueville answered as she shook it, "Oh yes, before i forget, there is a forbidden section in the library which only the teachers or the headmaster himself are allowed to access, i suggest that you do not enter this section."

"Again thanks for the info." Chara began to walk to the direction of the library, "It was nice to meet you miss Longueville, Later!"

"It was nice to meet you as well miss Chara." With that Longueville decided to take another walk around the school.

It was nice having a decent talk with someone else from time to time.

With Chara

She seems nice, Chara thought as she went to enter the library, but for some particular reason, she felt like Longueville wasn't really the Lady's real name, but she ignored it and entered the library.

The library itself wasn't too massive, but it was big enough to accomodate at least 45 people. she went on to speak to the librarian.

"Greetings, miss." She greeted the old librarian.

"Hello young lady, What brings you to the library this afternoon?" She asked kindly.

"I would like to read a book about the kingdoms of Halkeginia, do you know where i could find them?" Chara asked.

"That would be in the 3rd row of section A, you should find it there."

Chara nodded in appreciation, "Thank you miss."

"Anytime young lady." Chara then went to section A, Finding the book she needed, a book titled "A History of Halkeginia" She then took a seat on one of the chairs and began to read, But then she realized something unfortunate, she wasn't able to read Halkeginias written language.

Before she could think of a solution, a faint glow on her left hand caught her attention, to her amazement as the glow faded, the words on the book turned into her language.

"Well that was convenient." She said aloud.

After that she began reading. skipping a few parts about the history of some Brimir guy, she decided to start at the part about the kingdoms.

Tristain

Tristain is located northwest of Halkeginia. Northeast of it lies Germania, south of it is Gallia, and northwest of it, Albion. it is a monarchic country currently led by Queen Henrietta. It is previously led by her mother, Queen Marianne. The chancellor of Tristain is Cardinal Mazarin. A majority of the homes in Tristain are mansions or castles because most Tristanians are aristocrats. Tristanian aristocrats mainly live on mansions, while The Royal Family of Tristain resides in castles. Queen Henrietta and the rest of her family reside in a castle which serves as their residence. The education in Tristain mainly focuses on teaching students on performing magic. A professor in the Academy has a certain level and element in magic, therefore teaches students relating to his or her element. In terms of military power, Tristain is reagarded as the lowest, relying on other countries who are strong in military power.

Germania

Located to the Northeast of Tristain, And also known as the Germanian Empire, Germania is the largest kingdom in Halkeginia, and is also regarded as the strongest in terms of military might. It is often regarded as a more barbaric and down-to-earth type of country, with its men considered to be brutish. The current emperor of Germania is Emperor Albrecht III. Not all of the Nobles of Germania are Mages, as rich merchants and commoners can also become nobles if their rich enough.

Romalia

Also known as the Holy Romalian Empire, It is an empire located to the south of Gallia. The first Emperor was the Gravekeeper of Founder Brimir, Saint Forsythe. Over the years the peninsula and half of Gallia were united under King Julio Cesare but after his assassination the Gallian lands were reconquered and Romalia fell into civil war. By the current time period Romalia still controls the peninsula but it's military is still weak so it ensures it's independence by falling back on it's status as center of the Brimiric faith. The capital city of the Empire is Romalia.

Gallia

Located to the southeast of Tristania. And Germania on its eastern border, in the Alden Forest. It is the second largest country in Halkeginia. Within the Gallia Royal Family, murders and assassination attempts have led to an unstable royalty. There is a city named La Rochelle in the mountains, which is a major port. It's capital is Versailles, and it's current leader is Joseph De Gallia.

Albion

Also known as the White Country, Albion is a floating island country-turned-continent previously part of Halkeginia. It is currently led by King James I and his Son Prince Wales. Albion is approximately the size of Tristain. A floating island, mountains carved the landscape and rivers flowed down. It floats in the air, usually over bodies of water and oceans. A few times every month, it would pass by the continent of Halkeginia; notably, on evenings that the two moons overlap each other, Albion gets the closest to land. The water from the rivers flows off the island and into the air; while doing so, it becomes white fog, which eventually turns into clouds, becoming responsible for the rainfall in Halkeginia. It is rumoured that a rebellion is currently growing within it's borders.

A look of confusion can be seen on Chara's face, She clearly remembers that history books were supposed to tell about the past. And yet the contents of this book seems oddly specific to the current happenings of the world, and the part about a rebellion in Albion was alarming to say the least.

Closing the book, Chara decided that it should be enough for today, and so, after putting the book back in it's spot and saying goodbye to the nice librarian she went to go back to Louise's room. She realized that the sun was close to setting, it seems that she was in the library for longer then she thought.

On her way, she pondered for a bit, based on the book she just read, she can conclude that some of the kingdoms are at the brink of chaos, particularly Albion, if the rumour about the rebellion was true, than it seems that she won't be having a peaceful life for a while.

She finally arrived at Louise's room, before knocking, after a while Louise answered her, "Come in!" As she entered, she saw that Louise is currently writing something on the table. taking a closer look she noticed that it was a letter, so she asked, "Hey Louise, Who's the letter for?"

Not taking her eyes off the letter she is currently writing she answered, "It's a letter for my Sister, Cattleya, I want to tell her about my progress on my magic, and also about you." she explained, "Where did you go to anyway? you were missing for a long time."

Chara shrugged, "I just walked around a bit, and decided to go to the library, i wanted to read about Halkeginia."

"Oh alright then, go rest if you want, i still need to finish this today."

Chara nodded absentmindedly, a bit tired after reading so much, she yawned, before undressing her hoodie and laying down on the mattress, it's not that late yet, but she decided it would be fine if she just gets a few extra hours of sleep.

"Night Louise." Said Chara as she closed her eyes.

"Sweet dreams Chara."

With that Chara finally dozed of to the land of dreams.

A/N: Not much happened this chapter, and also it's a bit shorter than usual so sorry about that, but i don't really have as much free time as i did at 10th grade.

From here on out, expect some late updates as i can only probably write on weekends.

For those of you who have been patient, thank you.

Well...i'll see you guys later then.

Bye!
