Chapter 1[]
Lucy is en route to Saint Galbat's Academy for Young Girls, and asks a hooded man for directions to it. He gives her the directions, and says that while she could cross through the forest, to beware something. Lucy runs off before he can finish. She accidentally enters Hollow Fields instead, and a robot attacks her, saying that the school is private property. When Lucy states that she is just there to enroll, Miss Notch leaves the machine, apologizing, and gives her a tour, ending in her new room.
