The painful life of Angel.
CHAPTER 4
I am really confused. Being transported to another world is rare, and now that the principal told me that the familiars who are summoned through the heavenly wall will be the most powerful wizards, it makes me feel intrigued and a bit of confusion mixed with fear.
The principal walks up to me and looks me in the eye with a serious look.
"Every year, first-year students summon their familiars using the ancient sculptures, but all students have the opportunity to try summoning their familiar using the heavenly wall. You were summoned through the heavenly wall, it is the first time in thousands of years that this has happened."
"I-is that why I have magic? In my world I had no magic."- I say it with a nervous tone.
"Exactly. We think the wall gave you the magic. That could mean that something bad could happen and that's why you were summoned through the heavenly wall."- He said it with a serious tone.
I feel a little scared. Will something bad happen? Should I take care of that bad? Why me? I have many questions in my head.
"Something bad."- I say confused.
"Yes, something bad. That is why you must learn to control your magic. I want you to be a student of our school."
He extends his right hand to me and smiles at me.
"Do you accept?"
I hesitate for a few seconds, I really don't understand anything that is happening.
"But I won't be able to read your books, your writing is different from mine."
"No problem, you won't be forced to read the books."
"Then… Is there no way back to my world?"
"No, unfortunately this is not possible."
I lower my head and sigh. I can't go back to my world anymore. I must stay in this place until I die.
"I guess I don't have a choice."
We shake hands.
"Alright then. I will be a student."
"Perfect. Please go to class and don't say anything I told you."
We stop greeting each other and I sigh. Now I am not only in another world, but I also have to study in this world.
"Alright… Wait, what will happen to Sonia? Will I still be your familiar?"
"Of course, you are her familiar, that will not change."
I lower my head and sigh. I have to continue supporting Sonia. Will I survive being with her? I don't think so.
"Alright then."- I say with a sad tone.
The principal reaches into one of his pockets and takes out a small bag.
"Take it."
He hands me the bag and I take it. It is somewhat heavy. I open it and see many white coins inside the bag.
"Is money?"- I say confused.
"It's money for you to buy food in the dining room. I will give you money every week. Tomorrow they will deliver your uniform."
"Alright then. Thank you very much."
I leave the office and I'm a little curious to know what the coins of this world are like.
"What will the coins of this world be like?"
I take a coin out of the bag. The coin has a sword as a seal and on the other side it has a smiling mouth.
"A sword and a smile?"
I make a disappointed face and sigh.
"Everything in this world is weird."
I put the coin away and put the bag in my pants.
"I think I'll eat something later."
I start to walk while I keep thinking about what the principal told me. What do you mean by something bad? Why do I have to take care of that bad? These are questions that I had been asking myself. I reach the classroom door and sigh.
"I guess I have to get used to being in this world."
I open the classroom door and everyone turns to see me.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."- Said Professor Bell.
I go in and talk to the teacher.
"The principal says I'll be a student from today."
"Sure, welcome. Angel is your new partner!"
They all start murmuring while looking at me. It's kind of awkward, so I turn to the other side.
"Does anyone want to show you the school ?!"
Sonia and Charlotte raise their hands.
"I will!"- Charlotte said with a sweet happy smile.
"No, I'll do it!"- Sonia said with a devilish smile.
The teacher makes a worried and scared face when he sees Sonia. He turns to see me a little nervous.
"G-Good... Charlotte will show you around school when classes are over!"
I was relieved when I heard that. At this moment I think: "Even the teacher is afraid of Sonia."
"Thank you very much teacher."
I turn to Sonia and sit by her side.
"What did the principal tell you?"
"He offered me to be a student at school so that I can learn to control my magic."
"Is that everything?"
"Yes... Sonia, I am your familiar, but I want you to treat me as a friend. I'll do whatever you say, but don't hit me all the time, okay?"
Sonia hesitates for a few seconds. Is it really hard to stop hitting me, you fucking crazy ?!
"Okay, but you'll have to do everything I tell you to do."
"Okay, don't worry, I'm going to obey you."
I put my head on the table and close my eyes.
"As if I had a choice."
Damn crazy.
