Plot
Louise de la Vallière is an aristocrat mage studying at the Tristain Academy of Magic. Her classmates call her "Zero" due to her consistency in failures in casting spells. On the day of the familiar spirit summoning, Louise was able to summon a human from another world (considered a plebeian in Halkeginia) named Saito Hiraga. He has inscribed letters on his left hand which read Gandálfr which means "God's Left Hand". At first, she treated her very poorly like either a dog or a maid.
At the end of the season, it was revealed that Louise wields the magical affinity of void. Tristain was then in battle with Albion, a country that wants to conquer it. Saito then helped Tristain in battling with Albion by using his Zero Fighter Plane. After winning against the Albion Force, the students were given medals by Princess Henrietta, and Louise's and Saito's adventures continue as master and familiar spirit.
