I did not say anything about impossibilities, I said that people are good are explaining away irregularities. As this last chapter demonstrated, the students at the Academy consider Starfield to be human. Nothing has happened that would force anyone to challenge that assumption. The way Starfield dealt with Guiche may have been odd, but Starfield did nothing that could not be explained if she were a foreign mage.

I don't think she has even done anything yet that a shoggoth couldn't, except maybe the human skin and not eating everybody (and the starry void shown only to Louise).

It depends on the Brimic faith really. If there is something in said religion saying that nobles cannot be summoned as familiars, then given that the average noble seems pretty devout to said faith Louise summoning a noble is irregular and impossible. In this case unless they decide to go with 'Taylor is not a human' they will definitely convince themselves that Taylor used a non-magical trick to intercept and hide the spear, or that she dodged and somehow every noble in the area hallucinated that she did not.
Yes, it is stupid, but there are people today who are convinced that the world is flat and that all the things proving it is not are either optical illusions, photoshopping, lies etc.

The possibility of a shoggoth on a sugar rush is... mildly terrifying.

I dunno, I think the implications of Shoggoth Reproduction is way scarier.

If anything will teach Aria how to eat magic, besides sheer stubbornness, it'll be Derflinger.
Probably when she inevitably eats him.
Luckily, he can move his spirit into a nearby sword if Aria can digest him.
Unluckily, given this chapter, the nearest sword will likely be in the Taylor-dimension, where once he starts talking, he'll be eaten again.
A vicious, but hilarious cycle.
That or he ends up in one of Taylor's knives.

Or... Say it with me now, they decide she's a magical creature just like all the other summons. It's not just the students in the story who seem to be locked down with preconceptions.

That would require Louise to have cast a spell and it to have worked as intended. You sure they`ll believe that ?
I kid, of course.

Obvious answer is Louise's failure caught the interest of a high powered magical creature that was never seen before and is now masquerading in the shape of a girl. Said girl being sympathetic in nature allowed herself to be binded.
It was only months after when they realised everyone was being driven mad by her presence and their world turned upside down.

That sounds like an explanation that is extremely non-obvious, and kind of implies an odd level of desire to test people in ways unpereceivable as a test as well as schizophrenia on the part of the magical creature in question.
Besides, as far as they know, familiars are 'destined'. Not a whole lot of choice involved in that, for either the mage or the creature.
I thought about mentioning that possibility earlier, but I refrained from mentioning it because I knew that Taylor would vehemently object to such a classification (even if it would grant her a status that is quite respected and protected). But now that I think about it a bit more, I realize Taylor's objections will do little to prevent her from being labeled a magical creature rather than a human.Or... Say it with me now, they decide she's a magical creature just like all the other summons. It's not just the students in the story who seem to be locked down with preconceptions.

Man, I wish there were more of this. And Starry Eyes. Such fun to read, even after knowing what's going to happen on following readthroughs.

Doesn't viagra work by forcing certain parts to relax and letting blood go through while simultaneously lowering blood pressure? Clearly, feeding shoggoths viagra should make them more docile!
Sugar, on the other hand, can be quickly converted into energy without presence of oxygen, so it would make anyone hyperactive in right quantities.

Clearly.
Entirely reasonable.
Assuming an appropriate study could be set up, would you be willing to participate in an experiment to validate your hypothesis?

I always love stories like this. Dropping a big fish into a small pond is always fun to watch.
Provided you're not in the pond, of course.
It's a shame a writer of Helnae's quality doesn't have the ability to write more, but that's the way life goes I guess.

From what I've read of ZNT fanfiction, not a whole lot...
