Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Off to Market is the first chapter in Weak Constitution: Common Cat. It was uploaded on January 4th, 2019, and is from Kara's point of view.

Summary
The chapter introduces Kara and Shauna, two students who have become friends before the start of the semester at Majik's Academia. Shauna accidentally killed her Zenzi cub familiar before classes began, so the two must go to the Cages district to get her a new familiar, and to get Kara a familiar for school. Kara scolds Shauna for killing her familiar, to which Shauna retorts that he has never even had a pet, and bets he probably could not keep a weak constitution familiar alive for even a week. The two agree to go to the Cages district together, as Kara does not know the place well.

Important Events

 * Shauna and Kara make plans to go to the Cages together.

 * The Cages district is an area where familiars and pets may be bought.
 * A Zenzi cub is a type of familiar or pet. Some may have bad temperaments.
 * In order to pass the first year of class at Majik's Academia, a student needs a familiar.
 * One of the classes at Majik's Academia is Potions. It has a lot of extra credit involving optional components students can buy.
 * A mage's first few familiars are not expected to live long. All familiars have short lifespans due to casting, so a well cared for familiar will live three to four years.
