"Sorry, but... What was that?" Michael politely replies, but Colbert easily recognises the problem.
"Hmm. A foreigner? How peculiar... Fortunately, I know the temporary comprehension spell." he mutters to himself before chanting the spell. "Spirits bring forth the gift of the Tristain tongue." he recites while gesturing his staff at Michael.
A light flashes from the tip of the staff, confusing Michael as a *Click!* sounds out in his mind. "W-wow! That's a cool magic trick... Hey, are you one of those hospital clowns?... Wait, wouldn't that mean I'm terminally ill or something!?" he rambles somewhat incoherently to the Professor's ears.
Colbert coughs into his hand to regain Michaels attention, the man sitting on a nearby bed with his staff laid over his knees, "My apologies, I just needed to cast a translation spell so you can understand me..."
"A-A spell!? I-Is this some sort of joke?" Michael accuses, glancing around in search of cameras.
Colbert chuckles and shakes his head, "No, I'm not joking. It seems you've come from somewhere rather remote for you to not recognise the existence of magic... Perhaps far to the east in the unexplored regions? But judging by your looks, I'd say you're from Romania."
Michael shakes his head, "Unexplored regions? Aren't you taking this LARP'ing too seriously? Look, I think I was hit by a truck... Is this even a real hospital?"
Colbert releases a sigh, realising that this young man would be harder to work with than he'd thought. "Forgive me, I haven't yet introduced myself. I am Jean Colbert, I work as Professor here at the Tristan Magical Academy... You know where that is right? In the Kingdom of Tristain?"
...
Michael's reactionary retort is cut off as he recognises the names the man had given... Jean Colbert, an Anime character... Tristan Academy of Magic in the country of Tristain. The main place an anime occurs...
Cold sweat drips down his back and he can't help but check the back of his hands, sighing in relief at the lack of runes. "S-say, I didn't happen to be summoned... Right?"
Colbert has an interested gleam pass his eyes, "Why yes, you were summoned by Miss Valliere, but your condition was far too dangerous to complete the ritual... May I ask how you know of this? You didn't seem to be conscious yesterday." he asks.
Michael's eyes widen as his mouth claps closed, not wanting to mouth off any secrets if he was truly in 'that' kind of situation... "Erm... Just intuition I suppose... My w-Community, tells stories of things like this happening..."
Colbert nods, "Hmm, you'll have to tell me more about these stories when we have time... For now, I still haven't learned your name."
"M-Michael..." he says before slumping against the bedrest, "Sorry, but... Could I be alone for a bit? I need some time to myself." he asks.
Colbert nods and stands, dropping a black book on his bedside while gesturing at a nearby chair, "Your clothes were far too damaged to repair, even with many maintenance spells. As such, the academy had decided to provide you with clothing for the duration of your stay."
"T-thank you." Michael manages to get out as Colbert exits, leaving him alone for now.
Michael slowly climbs out of bed and blushes as he realises that he's naked... He puts on the provided clothes but realises that they're more like 'dignified rags' than anything else... He ignores his annoyance for now and walks towards the nearby window, unable to stop himself gaping as he lays eyes upon the academy.
"Yeah... I definitely ain't dreaming..." he mutters to himself, unable to believe his mind would be able to fabricate something like this.
Tristan Magical Academy was the primer place to learn magic in the continent of Halkeginia. It was more like a fortress than any school Michael knew of, but was impressed regardless.
The academy itself was shaped like a large pentagram, walls covering the edges with large towers on each point. In the centre was a massive tower that was incredibly tall, while also being thick enough to provide rooms to every student.
In between the tower and the walls were luscious flat green gardens, made so students could relax during the times they weren't studying... It was currently the morning, and he could see many students gathered around having tea while spending time with peculiar-looking creatures, which Michael could only infer were their familiars.
"Holy shit, I'm in The Familiar of Zero anime... Fuck!" he exclaims, giving the stone wall a light kick at his bad luck.
His one shot at being reincarnated, and he ends up here? As one of the weakest protagonists ever? Who might be the worst treated protagonist ever? Who's love interest is so abusive that she literally fires explosions at him at random!?
Then, it dawns on him... "I'm so fucked..."
Michael had no idea how he was going to survive this, in the Anime, Saito literally had to face an army of fifty thousand soldiers, while basically being a regular person with some small abilities... Not to mention how Saito managed to survive taking Louse's explosions point-blank to the face... They were capable of destroying stone walls... So that guy must've had ridiculous magical immunity or crazy endurance...
If Michael had truly taken Saito's place, then he had no magic, no backup, and no status... Not to mention that the world literally hinges on Michael's shoulders... From tyrannical rulers to legendary dragons that would supposedly destroy the world...
Saito had only survived because the force 'plot' was with him... In reality, that guy would have died as soon as he faced Fouquet. That bitch was able to summon and control a tower-sized golem that could endlessly regenerate its body...
Add the fact that Michael hadn't watched The Familiar of Zero in years, and you had a recipe for disaster!
"Urrrgh! Why is thissss happening to meeeee...." he mutters while hitting his forehead against the wall.

After mashing his head against the wall for a couple of seconds, he sits down and begins to nurse the migraine he'd caused... "Why couldn't I have been reincarnated into Naruto, or Bleach... Or even Highschool DXD?... Now I'm stuck here, totally reliant on an abusive sixteen-year-old girl for my survival.
If it weren't for the fact he had a 'slight' chance in everything somehow working out, he'd have thrown himself out of the tower window right now... At least the chance of surviving and potentially making it through with some 'beauties' was there...
Well, at least there was a bright side to things... If he hadn't replaced Saito and had simply just been teleported into the world, he'd have been completely screwed... This world was one of massive discrimination. From what he remembered, most people with magic were 'Nobles', and were thus above the average commoner, usually treating their servants like dogshit.
It wasn't strange that things turned out that way, to be honest, Michael's world also had slavery in the past, and that was only due to people having different skin colour... Compared to having two different sets of humanity, one who possessed magic, and one who didn't, it was obvious to see what'd happen.
While he was thinking on this topic, the door to his room abruptly slams open, revealing the person he most wished not to see right now...
She was incredibly short for a sixteen-year-old girl, a clean 5ft which was only slightly raised if she was wearing heels. Her figure was also incredibly lithe, Michael feeling as if he could snap her forearms barehanded if he wanted to.
Her hair was bright pink and draped down to the small of her back, it was obviously very well maintained, and shimmered in the light as she moved. She was garbed in the typical academy uniform, a clean white buttoned shirt, black skirt, and a cloak that rested over her shoulders which was secured at the front with a metal broach decorated with a pentagram.
She had a pensive smile on her face as she walks into the room, she was beautiful, with pink eyes, a small nose, kissable lips, and an innocent-looking face.
Michael couldn't help but let his eyes wander, as they traced past her skirt to her thighs, which were partially covered by knee-high socks... Unfortunately, he remembers too late which character this was supposed to be, suddenly looking up to her face, which now sported a large frown.
She goes to draw her wand, but visibly has to restrain herself, realising that he may have not healed completely yet, especially with how injured he'd been yesterday. "You." she pauses and shakes her head, deciding not to get off on a bad foot with her 'familiar'. "I am Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, daughter of Duke de La Vallière. Understand who you look upon and restrain yourself." she states in a demure, yet authoritative manner, which causes Michael to subconsciously straighten his back.
Michael coughs into his hand with a sheepish look, "S-sorry... I've, just never seen someone so beautiful before." he stammers out, doing his best to not end up like Saito...
Unfortunately, his compliment doesn't achieve the response he wished for, as Louise' brow twitches, "What is your name, commoner?"
"Michael... W-were you the one who summoned me?"
Louise frowns and her nose wrinkles as 'not so pleasant' thoughts gather in her mind, "You are not to ask questions unless I expressly permit it. Now, close your eyes and stay still for a moment." she states, not moving until Michael relents and closes his eyes, knowing exactly what was about to happen.
He can't help but to get excited, his heart thumping hard in his chest as he feels her approach, knowing that a kiss was required to complete the summoning ceremony... Since he lacked the runes, it meant that Louise had to...
His body stiffens as he's barely able to keep down his excitement, the fact that he was about to experience his first kiss making him feel incredibly self-conscious... Are his lips too dry? Should he move? Maybe his tongue?
Finally, after waiting for what seemed like an eternity... Michael feels his lips covered in warmth, Louise' soft lips connecting with his own... It felt amazing but, unfortunately, didn't last long. As Louise quickly pulls away and wipes her mouth with her sleeve, as if she'd eaten a fly.
Michael opens his eyes and spots the slight blush on her face, unable to see the matching one on his own... It's only then that the pleasant emotions he was feeling fade, leading way to an agonizing burning pain that'd sprouted in his left hand.
The bright glowing runes of Gandálfr burned themself into his flesh, Michael was unable to stop his shout of pain as it happens. It feels like someone was driving red-hot poking through his hand at a fast rate to tattoo the runes into his flesh.
The only reason he hadn't been worried about losing his hand due to it was because of his prior knowledge of the anime... Plus lack of the smell of burning flesh...
Just like Saito, Michael's body convulsed and went into a mild seizure on the bed as the burn began to crawl up his arm and spread to the rest of his body... The pain continues, until it passes his neck and reaches his brainstem, which abruptly causes him to pass out.
Louise just watches this with curious eyes, wondering if this was supposed to happen or not... All the other familiars had been unharmed and didn't seem to experience any pain at all. Yet, here her plebian familiar looked as if he was about to have a heart attack. She was relieved when he finally passed out though, the pitiful sight souring her mood slightly.
She had wanted to take him down to the courtyard, as it was supposed to be time for the students to be getting to know their familiars... But, she supposed her short conversation with him was good enough for now.
Hope you bois liked the chap, if I missed anything please let me know. Thanks!
