There was something different today.

She awoke this morning with vibrant energy. Louise couldn't tell where it came from, but it might be the remnant energy she had from last night when she drowned herself in the system and what it could offer. The events from yesterday were far from the last time she used her familiar. No. Last night was where a lot more productivity began.

Louise smiled brightly. A lot more productive indeed.

Quickly after giving herself a shower and brushing her hair, Louise had her breakfast and later found herself walking down the halls to the courtyard with a spring to her every step. One notice by her fellow students. They couldn't help but feel intimidated when Louise started walking where her feet would land on the middle of the tiles each time and repeating with the next, practically skipping when she did so.

"What's got her all happy?"

"I don't know but I'm scared."

"Gilbert, can I stand behind you?"

"W-what? Wait no! I'm not your blast shield!"

"My my my~"

"Hm..."

Ignoring the frightened gossiping of her classmates, though a certain redhead seemed far more interested than she should be, Louise continued walking to the courtyard to start testing a new skill she had bought from her familiar.

Louise was ecstatic. Though each affinity caused 1,000 DP each, it was all worth it in the end. For she had now the capabilities for magic. Actual magic. Magic that she was without for many years and now she possesses.

Her failures will now be in the past.

Her classmates will begin seeing her in a new light.

Her pride as a noble will now return to her, having been lost for so long.
