Not to mention the Flame Snake.

she wants to have the pages collected and orders the Wolkenritter that.

And Signum conveniently leaves out the fact that filling pages means collecting cores means attacking other mages?

And Signum is conveniently ignorant of how attacking another student or a teacher of Louise's school could cause a lot of trouble for her master?

To use a colorful metaphor, that's surgically replacing both of Signum's eyes with Idiot Balls. Then doing the same with all of the other Wolkenritter.

Which means Louise is, by coinidence, in front row to see later how her knights attack another mage (choose any of the named ones, student or teacher), the Wolkenrittter are in an area full of mages after all; an instinctive order from their Master to "Stop!" is the only reason the knights don't kill that mage

Dead mages don't have linker cores to collect. Of course, maimed and dying mages aren't dead yet, but if Louise is too late to stop the core-harvesting and the victim is still alive, then the Wolkenritter probably didn't inflict much injury.

thinking gears are turning with Fouquet: she will think the ultimate humilliation to a noble will be removing their magic, even if temporally

Oh, that's an idea with potential.

In another impulsive request Louise asks to see the her own linker core as she still needs some reassurance of being a mage and Shamal complies.

Shamal would first make it very clear that having one's core removed is AGONIZING. I could Louise demanding it anyway, because she's just that insecure and determined.

All the Halkgenians are surprised on how bright is Louise's linker core.

To be fair, they'd have no basis for comparison since none of the Wolkenritter would be stupid enough to try taking a core without explaining it to Louise, and Louise would tell them No.

At least until Foquet appears to provide an acceptable target. (Which brings up the point that Louise could hire her familiars out to her majesty the queen as bounty hunters, of a sort. Serving her country while also providing the Wolkenritter what they want, and incidentally making it clear to the world that Louise is a powerful mage, to have a powerful magic-user for a loyal familiar.)

That marks the turning point in Louise, when she really starts to care for the Wolkenritter as people which, in turn, makes the Wolkenritter start to develop into the personalities known in the Nanoha canon.

That would be interesting.

But just because they are trated as people doesn't mean Louise forget the Wolkenritter are her kinghts, she asks them some way to use their magic style, and so they start ther training.

And thus begin the careers of Drill Sergeant Vita and Martial Arts Instructor Zafira.

Somehow I imagine charging cartridges would be a good control excercise for Louise apart from physical training

Seems plausible.
