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. Quote:

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.)

A ZnT/Nanoha crossover? Excellent stuff, I really hope you continue with this, Dragon.

Also, they aren't going to extract Louise's linker core, just to expose it. And doing it with care. Quote:

Of course, that doesn't mean auto bad end. Someone else mentioned dispel, and like it, there could be a variety of ways this story could turn around. Quote:
Besides, they will only show inferiority towards their master. All of the Wolkenritter are still rather proud knights, and prefer to be called as such. Even Zafira took offense to merely being called a familiar. Quote:
As long as the core is ripped out before the victim dies, it can be absorbed even after death. Such as when Vita uploaded several cores to the book at once when she was killing beasts. Last edited by Keroko; 2013-02-24 at 09:51. |

They can easily intuit that Louise doesn't have the social standing to get away with murder, given the way that her schoolmates and teachers don't bow and scrape at her feet, but rather treat her like any other student. Quote:

I still don't hear good things about the anime... or the franchise in general. But people have written really cool fanfics with it. Quote:

I'm worried about how other people, and rather Louise's upbringing, will influence the degree to which Louise sees the knights as people. Quote:

Remember that the concept of magical constructs is completely alien to Halk. Minus Zafira because, you know, wolf, the Wolkenritter do not appear to be any different from other humans. To Louise, the Wolkenritter are going to be human, and as they can use magic, nobility. The knights may explain they are constructs, but Louise will need time to wrap her head around the idea that there are "people who aren't people" so to speak. And by that time, she'll already have accepted them as people. Right, just saying that keeping the victim alive isn't required. They can just fight, rip out cores the hard way and upload them to the book after the battle is over. Last edited by Keroko; 2013-02-24 at 13:24. |

I wonder how the Wolkenritter feel about "mage = nobility".
Modern Midchilda is like Germania (oh irony) in that social status is a matter of merit. You can earn any position if you can prove you're qualified (if only by earning enough money to buy a title). Ancient Belka trained its mages as knights. Nobility and personal magical power might have been tied together and considered paramount in their society. Speaking of reactions and Germania, it's certain that Kirche will be all over Signum like a much less bloodthirsty Amaterasu. And that Signum will be just as unamused, particularly given Kirche's antagonism of Louise. Hmm. Vita stopped hating the other knights while under Hayate... How does that work with Louise? Will Vita develop for Louise something like the possibly-romantic loyalty she displayed for Hayate? |

I feex. Messed up a quote there.
Also, another thing to consider is the magic the knights use. While comparisons can be drawn, it very clearly isn't "Brimir magic." Which means trouble with the more religiously fanatic might be around the corner. |

Signum, Vita and Shamal could almost get away with passing themselves off as a Fire, Earth and Water/Air mage, respectively...
And Zafira could pretend to be a familiar... But yeah, they probably blow the possibility of cover out of the water from the beginning. |
