Passing through the academy courtyard today, I saw those lowerclassmen clumsily practicing fireball magic, each one blowing up with soot all over their faces. What a bunch of idiots... can't even control such simple magic. Well, at least they still have the chance to practice. As for me—never mind, no point in bringing it up. Anyway, I'm already used to being called 'Louise the Zero,' and I don't care about hearing the mockery a few more times. It's just that sometimes, I wonder what kind of expression they'd have if I could actually cast real magic one day. Hah, just thinking about it is satisfying.
