It is Louise's second year at the Tristain Academy of Magic. Under the guidance of Professor Colbert, students from her class are summoning familiars on the open grassy courtyard. Each student takes a turn casting the summoning spell and receiving a familiar with whom they will bind a contract and serve their master/mistress for the rest of their lives. Kirche, for example, summoned a fire salamander the size of a large dog, the quiet Tabitha summoned a wind rhyme dragon, and Guiche summoned an Earth Mole, which was the size of a small bear. Many of Louise's other classmates summoned various familiars as well. From cute to impressive, each one represented that student's achievement. Then it was Louise's turn.

Louise felt the magic well up inside of her, swirling and churning like a tempest. She felt it build, and build, and build. All her studies, all her struggles, and enduring mockery led to this moment. To prove she is worthy of being a Noble, until — There was instead a colossal explosion, probably the strongest Louise has ever produced, attempting to cast a spell! The massive cloud of smoke and dust that had been produced from the explosion covered most of the courtyard. The students chuckle and wave their hands to push the rising smoke and dust away from their faces. Everyone began to laugh at and mock her for once again Louise has failed spectacularly. She cast an explosion instead of a spell, a failure beyond doubt of her failings to even be called a 'Noble'. But when the dust settled, everyone was taken aback to see that Louise had indeed summoned something! And it was...
