After a moment zoning out, wondering if my ears were operating normally, i answer to the still dazzling smiling lisa, the extrapla- the translator professor.

" - Hmmm, answer six. "

" - Ho, an irregular ? We will need further detail about it later. "

She mumbled another thing while taking notes.

" - Then, next :

- Did you were specialised in any field in your original world, or your activity led you to have a high aptitude in any type of work, crafting, researsh ? "

" - Huh, no, i know some husbandry since i sometimes help my brother who is a farmer and i know my way with computers and general trade, but it cannot be called to the point of a specialised field or anything... "

While she was writing my answer, i remember the other people - i forgot about them for an instant since they were deathly silent from the start – but when i look at them, they are still staring quietly at me withouth any facial expression. They're starting to feel eerie...

" - Do you think you were lacking the oppotunity in your previous world to make a certain talents, aspiration or job you were finding appealing, bloom ? "

" - No, i was quite happy with my life, family and friend, and my job was still okay… Even if i were to have some ambition, it was not something i would'nt have been able to obtain in my world… "

" - Ha, you were with family, this answer another question from later, wait a moment… Okay, now :

- Do you have oberved since coming to this world a strange power coming from you ? If yes :

- was it magic ?

- was it communication with other entity or unexplainable sensation of someone calling you ?

- Another type of power related to the mind ?

- Other ? "

Ok, now, what is this ? An interview ? They think i'm planning to migrate here ? The mens on the couch are customs officers ? I'm starting to be annoyed a lot, but i try not to show it. Well, it show a little but i try to mask it.

" - I didn't feel anything, didn't answer anyone call and whatever power is not coming from anywhere in my person " i was about to say my ass here " I was just confused and afraid to come in a strange city out of nowhere when i was in my bedroom and about to go to sleep. "

Her smile fade a little and withouth writing the answer, ask again with a dubious expression :

" - Are you really SURE you didnt feel a power surging from you at some point after coming here ? Nothing at all ? Excuse me, but it's highly improbable. "

" - I really didnt feel anything at all. I can say for sure because i even tried and looked like a fool for a moment... "

She began to write down the answer.

" - I put these questions on hold for the moment. It's possible you are a late bloomers after all, it's not unheard of, and we have a device to help us know about your power features. We will take you here after this interview. I will skip the others related questions, if you allow me. "

" - Then,

- It is possible for you to share, or be inclined to share, some knowledge we dont actually have about any technique, system or craftmanship you may know with us ?

- If yes, what would you ask in return ?

And finally,

- what are your objectives, for now, in this world ? "

" - Yes, i dont mind sharing whatever i know you dont actually know, and the only thing i want in return is my answer for the last question, to have a mean to come back home ! I dont fundamentally dislike this dream-like fantasy world you live in, but being abruptly thrown here withouth warning, withouth knowing how my family at home will react or what's going to happens to me, i'm giving my all to not turn crazy you know ? I just want to go back... "

For some reason, after i finished speaking from my heart, i heard someone sighing on the side. Are they disappointed on my answer ? They think i'm stupid because i dont want to stay here in magical ponyland ? I dont give a fuck. I also dont care if they obviously want to exploit anything worthwhile i can be able to offer since i came with foreign knowledge. I want them to make me go back if they can, that's all. At most i will take something, to bring back some souvenir. More like yes, i will take something if i can, a healing potion or two would be nice after all. And if they can cure some old wounds and back pain, i'm ok with that too, but it's secondary.

" - This is interresting. We are gladly able to provide some help to make you go back to your world, but first, we need to know what was the mean used to transport you in this world. Since you answered "unconventionnal method", we would like for you to explain more precisely what happened "

She say that while her smile appear more beautiful than ever. Did she take pity on me, or did she imagine herself in my shoes ? Well, if it can help me go back faster, i'm not against a beauty like that interrested in my case after all. Mouahahahaha. Haaaa, with only knowing the fact that they can help me, it made a good chunck of my tension vanish. I feel already muuuuch better. Well, since i'm thinking about silly things, it seem obvious.

But i need to be a little distrutful. Being used, then discarted is a high possibility too. Shit, i am too franck as always and i relax too fast. I need to be more mindful about them. Focus.

" - Yes… Basically, after a flood in a field owned by a member of my family, as i was checking if there was any damage done and strolled around, i've happened to spot a strange vivid green colored stone near the riverbed, probably washed away from upstream. I picked it up to check on it later, then resumed my task.

At evening, after going back, i remembered the stone and picked it up from my car when i've left it, then came back to my house to look at it with better light.

It was an almost round granitic stone, with spots of green-looking like glass, quitte pretty as a whole. I was thinking it was some old house decoration who got polished by water over time, since i was able to see some rounded remains of a carving.

I was about to put it on display somewhere in the house, when the stone slipped from my hand, hit the ground, and cracked. Then, the ground caved immediately has some weird scripture glowed around the hole who formed, and the next thing i knew, i was drop in a city with mythological creature around it...

If it can help to figure something about it, i can even draw it if you want. "

Prof. Lisa looked up, thoughtful, then speaked at the book-carrier woman in their native langage, probably to repeat that i said. Hum, so the other dont need it, they can understand me ? Ho yeah, since they reacted last time, it's obvious. I really need to get my shit together and notice these things sooner, for fuck sake.

" - Excuse me again, but to confirm, are you sure you didn't see any creature or people when falling in this hole ? "

" - Absolutely sure, only this damn stone. "

" - And do you still have this stone with you ? "

" - I've checked the moment i realised i was in a foreign environment, but she was not here anymore. I think she was destroyed or she fell somewhere else..."

" - We can check on this later. We need to look is compatibilty for now, and we will advise what to do after. "

the seated gothic-chief-woman who raised her head speaked in a perfect english too. Damn. she sound like an evil mastermind.

" - The headmaster is right. Please, follow me now "

She invite me to leave my chair and open the door, suggesting me to follow her. Behind me, the three mens and the book girl follow me, but the vampirella headmaster stay seated. Ultimately these guys are like security guards, huh.

Our little procession walk for about ten minutes or so until we stop near a big woden door with bronze engraving imitating vine leafs. The door open automatically and we enter in a large meeting room with a lot of chair, but empty of people. Prof. Lisa go to the podium where a fountain-like statue with a round, faintly glowing crystal is enshrined and ask me to come.

I've seen this pattern somewhere !

" - Now, we will check your power affinity. Please touch the cristal ball while concentrating, the result will be announced by this statue and we will be able to record it."

I know i said i wanted to go back fast, but hey, who could not be at least a little excited about this ? I wanna try magic too if i can. I advance and touch the orb while repressing a grin. Since i'm here, i dont loose anything by just testing it ! This is just to help me go back faster ! THIS IS FANTASY ! Yaaaahhh !

…

It's slow.

…

And the light from the orb seems to have gone out too. It's processing ? I was thinking of a glowing light telling "abilty in water magic blah blah"...

…

I look at prof. Lisa. She raise a dubious eyebrow.

Did i have broken the device withouth knowing it ?

« - This is… unexpected. If we analyze a reaction like this, it would mean you have no magic power at all... »

« - Well, too bad, i say a little disappointed, it seems i'm normal here too, after all. »

« - No, you dont understand. You have no magic power. This is highly abnormal.»

« - Really ? Why ? »

« - Even the most tiny insect in this world have magic power. Even flea have a trace of it, you know. The fact that you dont have anything is amazing in itself ! We need to do some test immediately, please follow me to the next room, then we will check your body ! »

She then excitedely go down the podium and begin to trot back to the door with sparkling eyes.

Great. So i'm worst than a flea here.
