Chapter one

"Saito, honestly," Saito's mom complained. "You need to clean up your apartment room. And if you can't, hire a maid or something."

Saito sighed. "Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I'll try to clean it up, okay?" he hung up the phone and laid back down on the bed in his small apartment room. He had recently moved out of his parents' house for college. But he was getting nowhere in life. The least of his concerns was making sure his room was sparkling clean. Maybe it would be a good idea to get a maid…

a.a.a.

"I think it's clear my familiar will be the most dazzling one of all! Its beauty will sparkle in the light of the sun and bath in the moonbeams from the heavens! Oh, how it will-."

"Guiche!" Montmorency complained. "We don't have all day! Hurry up!"

"Of course, my dear." Guiche said quickly and began to chant the spell. The ground below crumbled and a figure descended. Everyone at the magic academy gasped. Was that…?

"A mole!" Guiche exclaimed. "How beautiful!"

Louise Valliere rolled her eyes. "Right. Having a stupid mole as a familiar is so great." She crossed her arms over her chest.

Next to her, Kirche scoffed. "Yeah, Valliere. Like you could summon something better. Seriously, I don't even know why you're at a magic academy. I thought you had to be able to use magic to be here."

Louise narrowed her eyebrows and stuck out her bottom lip. "I'm confident in the Summon Servant spell if nothing else! I will summon a great familiar that beats even your salamander, you boob monster!"

Kirche gritted her teeth, obviously offended. "Well at least I have boobs, you flat-chested bit-"

"Miss Valliere!" Colbert Sensei, their professor at the academy, called. "You're up!"

Louise stepped forward with confidence.

"Yeah!" a voice called. "This will be interesting. Can the Zero Louise summon something as weak as her?"

Laughter spread through the air, but Louise just straightened her back and tried not to let it get to her. "Shut up, all of you!" she snapped. Stretching out her wand, she thought back on the spell book she kept in her room. There was an advanced spell on Summon Servant, one the professors never taught them. If she could just show everyone her brilliance, they would finally respect her. She wouldn't be the Zero Louise forever!

She suddenly remembered the spell. Or at least something similar to it. Even though she wasn't sure if she had the exact correct spell, she would take her chances. She was sick of getting no respect.

As she continued to chant, a blue light appeared below her feet. Everyone around her widened their eyes and leaned in, intrigued. "Maybe she wasn't lying. Maybe she's really going to summon a great familiar." Someone whispered.

Louise couldn't help but smirk. As she was coming to an end of the spell, Colbert Sensei rushed forward. "Stop, Miss Valliere! You can't that spell is…!"

But it was too late. The blue light had taken over Louise and pretty soon she was falling deep down into nothingness.
