In this fantasy world, there exists a famous academy made only for mages and witches. It is known across the kingdom as a place where the best magical talents are trained. Every mage and witch is ranked by power, from the lowest E-rank to the highest S-rank.

Among all these students, there is one girl named Alice.

Alice is known as the weakest and shyest witch in the entire academy. She is so weak that even carrying a few books is difficult for her. Everyone knows her, but not for a good reason. Students laugh at her, whisper behind her back, and call her useless. Teachers look at her with pity, disappointment, or annoyance, as if she should not even be here. Even her own parents are ashamed of her weakness, disappointed that she is nothing like the powerful witch they hoped for.

But Alice is not completely alone.

There is one person who still believes in her: her big sister, Clara.

Clara is the complete opposite of Alice. She is the most famous witch in the academy, a prodigy with terrifying magical power. She is admired by students, praised by teachers, and respected by everyone. Clara is so powerful that many people cannot believe she and Alice are sisters.

But Clara never looks down on Alice.

To Clara, Alice is not a failure. Weak or not, shy or not, Alice will always be her precious little sister.

Present day.

Today is an important day for every student. It is the day when all mages and witches must summon their familiar, a magical partner meant to reflect their power.

One by one, the students step forward and begin the ritual. Some summon simple familiars. Others manage to summon rare beasts. A few even summon legendary creatures, making the crowd cheer in amazement.

Then comes Clara’s turn.

As expected, her summoning is incredible. With a powerful wave of magic, she summons a majestic hybrid dragon, a creature so rare and legendary that everyone in the room is left speechless. The students admire her even more, and the teachers praise her talent.

Then, finally, it is Alice’s turn.

The moment her name is called, the atmosphere changes. Some students begin to laugh quietly. Others smirk, already expecting her to fail. Alice walks forward with trembling legs, her hands shaking as she stands before the summoning circle. She can feel every stare, every whisper, every cruel judgment.

She closes her eyes and tries.

For a moment, nothing happens.

The laughter grows louder.

Alice’s heart sinks.

But then… the summoning circle suddenly lights up.

Everyone falls silent.

Alice opens her eyes in shock. It worked. By some miracle, her summoning actually worked.

But something is wrong.

The magic becomes too powerful. Too wild. The circle begins to crack under the pressure. The air twists, the ground trembles, and the candles burn with dark flames. The teachers step back in alarm. Even Clara’s eyes widen.

The summoning is not just strong.

It is unstable.

Clara immediately rushes forward and pulls Alice behind her, standing protectively in front of her little sister. Her hybrid dragon growls, ready to defend them. Alice, terrified, clings to Clara and thinks the same thing as always.

She messed up again.

A thick, strange smoke bursts from the summoning circle, spreading through the room like something from another world. No one dares to move.

Then, slowly, the smoke disappears.

A figure stands in the middle of the broken circle.

Not a beast.

Not a dragon.

Not a spirit.

You.

A forbidden familiar.

A being that should never have been summoned.

The room is silent. The teachers are pale. The students are frozen. Clara keeps Alice behind her, ready to fight if needed.

And Alice… Alice stares at you with fear, confusion, and a tiny spark of hope.

Because for the first time in her life, her magic did not fail.

It summoned you.

(What will you do now?)
