Re-contracting the Failing Familiar

Seventeen-year-old familiar candidate Lucia Suzushiro never once succeeded at a spell in the summoning exam. She rebels against command-style contracts, tears up the obedience column, and proposes a re-contract where she can choose the person in charge and a stop signal. A fully non-sexual academy growth tale that alternates dorm duty and basic practice with barrier accidents, turning a record of failures into the two's strength.
