The painful life of Angel.
CHAPTER 2
We get to the dining room and I see many students eating. I am curious to see some students reading some books and I ask myself: "What do you study in a sorcerer's school?"
"What do they teach you in a wizarding school? I suppose they teach them to cast spells, but what else do they teach them?"
"They teach us history and they teach us to cast spells. That's all."- She said it very sweetly while smiling.
This girl is completely different from Sonia.
"They don't teach them math?"
"No, math doesn't teach us."
Well, I guess to use magic you don't need math ... I suppose.
"Oh, I see."
"Sit down, I'll go get the food."
"Thanks."
I sit at one of the tables in the dining room that is empty and the girl leaves.
This world seems interesting, but I hate Sonia.
"This place is interesting, but I want to go."
I pull out my phone. Will I still be able to use it here? I hope you do . . . I don't know if I can charge it though.
"I suppose I can play a bit while I wait."
I open the applications and realize that the games I had downloaded had been erased.
"Did my games get deleted ?!"
I check the entire phone. The applications I had downloaded had been deleted.
"At least the photos from my gallery were not deleted, only the applications I downloaded were deleted ... Why?"
Three students come up to me. They are two girls and a boy. They seem very interested in me because they are watching me curiously.
"Are you Sonia's familiar?"- Said one of the girls looking at me carefully.
"Unfortunately yes."- I say with a sad tone.
Why did I get a madwoman? So many students here and I had to be crazy.
"What kind of magic do you have?"
Are there different kinds of magic? Great... But I am normal, I have no magic.
"I don't have magic, I'm just a normal human."
The three of them look at me in disgust ... Eh?
"Are you a commoner ?!"- Said the student while looking at me with disgust.
The students start laughing at me.
I try to control my urge to hit him.
"Seriously someone without magic was summoned through the heavenly wall ?!"
They keep laughing and walk away from me.
"Come on, commoners make me sick!"
The students leave and I feel a little angry.
I was discriminated against for not having magic ... Damn rich.
"Oh yeah, commoners make me sick. Idiots."
The girl arrives with the food and puts the plate of food in front of me.
"Here."
It makes my mouth water just by smelling the delicious smell that comes out of the plate.
"Thank you!"
The girl brought me a plate with meat and vegetables.
"It looks delicious!"
I start eating. This meat is really delicious.
"This is delicious!"- I say with food in my mouth.
She laughs and then she smiles at me.
"By the way, what is his name?"
I finish eating what I had in my mouth and I answer her.
"My name is Angel, nice to meet you."
"My name is Charlotte, nice to meet you ... So what is your world like?"
I spend a few seconds thinking about how to describe my world. It's weird to describe to another person what my world is like.
I remembered the photos that I have in my gallery. I can show you pictures of my world.
"Wait..."
I open the gallery and show you the photos.
"They are photos of my trip to a country called: the United States. I think my world is very different from yours."
Charlotte looks at my phone with a twinkle in her eyes.
"What is that?!"
I guess my phone is rare in this world.
"This is a device from my world, it is called: "Phone". It is used to talk to people, even if they are far away. It is also good for taking photos and videos."
"Photo and Video?"
Don't the photos exist? Wow... This world is weird.
"Don't you know what they are?"- I say confused.
"No. Tell me what it is, please."
This world is weird. I must go. If the photos don't exist, I don't want to imagine how the bathrooms will be.
"The photos are these. Photos allow you to capture a moment of time."
I show him the photos of my phone. I show him a photo where I am eating with my mother and my uncles at a table.
"For example, in this photo I'm eating with my family."
"Is it like a painting?"
It is similar… I suppose.
"I suppose so."
I must explain with a better example.
I open the camera.
"Look."
I take a picture of her and show it to her.
"Unbelievable!"- Said surprised and with bright eyes.
I start recording.
"Say Hi."
She seems a bit confused ... Well... I think I look a little weird doing this.
"Hello?"
I finish recording and I show him the video. Her reaction to watching the video is very tender. She watches the phone closely in surprise.
"Video is like a moving photo."
"It's amazing!"
I keep the phone in my pants.
"It's a very common device in my world, everyone has one."
"Your world is amazing!"
"Although there is no magic in my world, I don't know why I was summoned."
"You were summoned through the heavenly wall, it is the first time in thousands of years that this has happened."
"Why me? I don't have magic."
"Maybe you do."
That possibility is nil. I am 100% sure that I have no magic.
"No, I don't."
And if I did, I don't know what I'd do ... I want to live a normal life ... Please, I want a normal life.

30 minutes later
After a few minutes, I finish eating and get up from the table.
I am quite grateful to her ... It is very different from Sonia.
Sonia is a heartless devil, and she is a beautiful angel.
"Thank you for the food."
"No, thanks to you for showing me what your world is like."
"See you later. Goodbye, Charlotte."
"Goodbye, Angel."- She said it with a big smile and walks away.
I like her a lot.
"How sweet Charlotte is. I would like to be Charlotte's familiar."- I thought smiling.
I imagine Charlotte being my master. I imagine her hugging me and giving me kisses while she tells me: "I invoked you using the heavenly wall, I am very happy. I will treat you very well, Angel. "
"I'm sure she would treat me better than that crazy woman."- I thought with a scared expression.
I imagine Sonia hitting me like a sandbag while yelling at me: "This is for not doing your job well, useless !!".
I feel a chill and I get nervous ... This is a cliche! Why does my master have to be the cliche character who gets mad about everything ?!
"I'm sure that will happen to me."
I start walking through the corridors and I realize that there are no spotlights, the light comes from some lamps with candles.
"Will there be electricity in this world?" No, I didn't think so.
After walking through the corridors, I realize that everyone in this place is looking at me strangely. When I pass some students, they look at me curiously.
"I guess I'm the weirdo in this world."
I get to Sonia's room and lie down on the floor.
"Damn it…"- I complain about how uncomfortable the floor is.
I have to get used to this ... Sonia, I hope you sleep badly.
"Good night, Charlotte. Fuck you, Sonia."

The next day.... 6:40 in the morning.
Sonia wakes me up with a kick to the stomach that knocks the air out of me.
"Wake up, we must go!"
I wake up and the first thing I see is Sonia, seeing me with a devilish smile.
"What's wrong with you?!! At least wake me up with love!"
"Get up!"
She takes me by the ear and lifts me up.
"We have to go to class!"
"Do we? I don't study here."
"As my familiar, you must accompany me!"
There is no point in denying me and lowering my head.
"Of course, it's OK."

After walking for several minutes, we reached the classroom and sat at a table up to the front, in front of the teacher's desk. The classroom is huge and the tables are large, they are for five students to sit together, but no one sits next to us.
I turn to look at the other tables and realize that all the tables are full.
"I suppose that Sonia has no friends because of her attitude ... I didn't have any friends in the other world either ... At least we have something in common."- I thought with a sad tone.
I look at the students' families with curiosity.
Seeing the families of other students scared me a bit, because they are really rare animals.
"Hey, what's that?"
I point to something that looks like a chicken, but with the body of a dog.
"It's the familiar of that student. It is a Galop."
This world scares me. I don't want to imagine the terrifying animals that exist in this world.
"This world is starting to scare me more."- I say shaking with fear.
Professor Bell enters the classroom.
"Okay, let's start with the classes. Today will be the presentation of families. Who wants to start?"
Sonia raises her right hand.
"Me please!"
Fine... I think she is the smart girl in the class, the one who always wants to participate.
I prefer not to participate in class, it makes me lazy.
"Sure, come forward."
She pulls me by the ear. Damn crazy…
"Let's go!"
"Stop treating me badly!"
We went to the front.
"He's my familiar…!"
I interrupt to introduce myself.
"My name is Angel, a lot like…!"
Sonia punches me in the stomach and sucks the air out of me.
"Let me speak!!"
I try to catch my breath ... 'Shit.' It's too strong.
"O-okay!"
Sonia puts her hands on her waist.
"As you know, I summoned my familiar using the heavenly wall, so it must be someone very powerful!"- She said with a smug tone.
Everyone starts clapping.
—He comes from the year 2019, he's a time traveler!
Everyone starts screaming excitedly.
"Unbelievable!"
"You're awesome!"
... Really?
"Fufu. Now they will respect me and very soon I will be someone very important."- She said with a smug tone.
I approach Sonia and whisper to her.
"Actually, I come from a different world. In my world there is no magic and there never was a country called Zouler ... I think I come from an alternate world."
Sonia turns to see me surprised and begins to shake me.
"Why didn't you tell me about it before?"
She turns to see her companions.
"Listen, my familiar says he comes from a different world, where magic doesn't exist!"
Everyone starts screaming more excited than before.
"Is it from another world ?!"
"Outstanding!"
I see Sonia and I realize that she has the devilish smile, she seems to be enjoying being treated as if she were the best in the world, so I decide to take revenge on her for treating me badly.
"Magic doesn't exist in my world, so I don't have magic! I'm a commoner!"
Everything is silent and Sonia begins to hit me in the face.
"I told you to let me talk!"- She said angrily.
Everyone starts laughing and yelling in mocking tones.
"He's just a commoner!"
"That's not surprising!"
Sonia blushes ... That blush is of shame and fury ... T-that red skin tone is not adorable ... S-she's furious ... I pissed off the beast! I'm idiot!
"I summoned him using the heavenly wall, he must be someone amazing!"
I walk away from Sonia, who seems very angry.
"I think I should have kept quiet."
"Well, go back to your seat."- Said the teacher with a serious tone.
"All right, Professor Bell."- Sonia said.
Sonia tries to pull my ear and I move away from her.
"You don't need to pull my ear."
We sit down and a student walks forward with a bird made of fire. While the student introduced his family member, Sonia whispered to me the things she was going to do to me as punishment for humiliating her. In those moments I thought: "I think I will die today."
Note to self: Don't piss her off.

maybe ten minutes later.
Families are very rare animals that I have never seen in my life ... Really… I really am in another damn world!
"It really is a different world."- I say intrigued.
Charlotte comes forward. Oh my goddess.
"My familiar is a unicorn!"
A unicorn? Really?!
She gives a clap and a red unicorn with a blue horn comes through the door.
"Her name is Mei!"
I was surprised to see that ... I-it's a real unicorn ... Really!!
I get up and see the unicorn with sparkling eyes.
"A real unicorn ?! Amazing!"- I say excited.
Sonia hits me on the arm.
"Be quiet!"- She said angrily.
Professor Bell takes out a blue rock and a crystal glass from his desk drawer.
Water comes out of the rock and fills the glass.
"We are done with introductions. We will start with the basic magic class. Sonia, come forward and transform the water in this glass into steam."
"Sure!"
Sonia comes forward and extends her right hand pointing to the glass.
"Crea fes!"- She said it with a serious tone.
The water in the glass turns into steam.
"Well done, return to your seat."
I see him surprised. There really is magic. My mouth and eyes are wide open ... Th-this is real? D-did that really happen?
Great... Cool...
This is so cool!
"Incredible!!"- Shout surprised and excited.
They all turn to see me.
"Do you want to try?"- Said Professor Bell.
"Sorry, I got a little excited!"- I say sorry.
"I want to check that you really don't have magic. Come to the front."
"But..."
Sonia looks at me furiously and points her index finger at the ground.
"Come forward, I order you!"
"I guess I don't have a choice."
I step forward and stand next to the teacher.
"Hold out your hand, think what you want to turn the glass on, and cast the spell."
"I don't lose anything trying."
I extend my right hand pointing to the glass and think of a shoe.
"The intended object must be of the same..."
I interrupt the teacher with my voice.
"Crea fes!"
The glass turns into a shoe ... Eh? W-What?
"Huh?!!"- The teacher shouted seeing the shoe with his mouth wide open and his eyes bulging.
"Huh?!!"- Sonia yelled with her mouth wide open and her eyes bulging.
"Huh?!!"- I scream while I am with my mouth wide open and my eyes bulging.
Everyone in the classroom screams with their mouths wide open and their eyes bulging.
I look at my hand with fear and I get nervous. Did that really happen to him? Did I really do that ?!
"I-I did that?"
