I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

16 – Mentor Task (1)

Two weeks have passed since I entered the academy.

Not much has changed in the meantime… To be honest, not much has changed.

“Hey, there he goes.”

“How the hell did you get into Class 1?”

“Isn’t it a bribe?”

“Maybe…”

The other students were still looking at me with disgust.

“You’ve been doing this? Don’t lie to me!”

Even professors from aristocrats looked at me with the frame of a troublemaker.

Even when I entered the academy, I naturally expected students to show this kind of reaction, but I didn’t know that there would be such a person among professors who should be equal to all students.

To be honest, it would be a lie if I didn’t have any regrets… But what can I do, the karma I’ve accumulated so far.

The punishment I received for living like an idiot in the past.

“Professor, as a professor teaching students, do you judge students based on rumors only?”

“······Miss Tinia, I know you’re covering her as your mentee…”

“Professor!”

The fortunate thing was that Tinia sunbae covered it to some extent whenever that happened.

Senior Tinia had more great points than I thought.

Although she is not as talented as Adele or other geniuses, she got to where she is today through her own efforts.

That doesn’t mean that Tinia senpai doesn’t have talent at all, but she’s a normal academy student’s talent, and it’s great that she’s in the upper middle of the monster class 1.

In addition, my personal network was very wide, so there was no one who didn’t know about Tinia Ailander among the 2nd and 3rd graders (except for the 1st year since he had just joined) and professors (except for Professor Javert, who was the first professor to join this year).

The reason why I was able to help me when the professor evaluated me with prejudice was because I was acquainted with all the professors in the school.

So whenever this happened, I let out a sigh of relief.

‘It’s fortunate that my mentor is senior Tinia…’

If you think that someone like Philip was my mentor instead of someone like Tinia-senpai…

It was so terrible that my whole body shuddered.

“…?”

When I suddenly acted strangely, Tinia, who was defending me diligently by her side, looked at me.

“······No, I got chills all of a sudden.”

I just laughed awkwardly and looked around.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“······Anyway, professor. Students like that…”

He looked at me suspiciously for a while, but he was Tinia senior, who quickly went back to his original job.

And what has changed after Tinia-senpai…

“Rian, would you like to go to the library to study after class today?”

Since the day we became friends, there is Adele who has strangely become active.

I told you several times that there was nothing good about being with me.

– If someone would put me down for being with you, that person is no longer mine.

He said and maintained his behavior.

I thought it would be a loss no matter how much I look at it, when I became the Duke of Listonia, Adele’s future, or when I saw that I was the current top of the first year of the academy, but what can I do if Adele herself doesn’t think so.

We already decided to be friends again, but now we can’t ask to break up for Adele’s sake.

There’s nothing worse than giving it to the world and taking it away.

I’d rather not give it to you.

And the incomprehensible point did not end here.

“······Lady Ristonia, can’t you see that I’m negotiating with the professor for my younger brother, Rian?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Senior Tinia. I haven’t seen you before.”

“···”

Why are you fighting over me?

I liked the fact that all the people fighting for me were the people who gave for me, but… I really couldn’t understand this part.

There are so many good people in the world, but why are they fighting like that over themselves who are mere extras?

Of course, I didn’t think that those two would fight like that because they like me rationally.

Tinia is just a close mentee and junior.

Adele is her own friend who has returned after a long time.

It was just that she was only pouring her heart into me for a while, and it was clear that everyone would return to her own daily life after some time.

After a month, the mentor time is over, and if Adele has other good friends.

Naturally, the two of them’s interest in me would drop and they would turn to someone else.

Because that’s a natural thing.

That’s the right thing to do, and it’s too much to pay attention to those two shining stars like me.

As the saying goes, time is medicine, it was something that would be solved with time.

‘······Where is Stella?’

In contrast to the two of them arguing like that, Stella couldn’t be seen even after washing her eyes.

Obviously, during class time, you can see that she is sitting at her desk and listening to class, but when she visits her during break time, Stella is nowhere to be found, only Stella’s mentor is sitting there.

“Do you know where Stella is?”

“I’m sure. Does your junior know anything?”

“···”

Even if you ask Stella’s senior mentor, it was a totally meaningless conversation because only alumni answers were connected.

“······Where are you going when you say you’ll tell me next time?”

Only my lips pouted for no reason at this development of the sweet potato.

I was sure I would tell you next time. What time is the next one?

Are you getting revenge on me for harassing you when I was a fool?

“Whew…”

Since entering the academy, it seems that the only thing that has increased is sighing.

“Senior Tinia, Adele.”

When the lunch break was over and it was time to fill the paper, I called the two who were still fighting.

“Your junior Adele is just a ‘friend’, but I am your only mentor?”

“Oh, I am also Ryan’s only fiancée. This is an amazing fact.”

It was surprising that she was still fighting.

Aren’t those two getting tired?

“Senior Tinia, it’s class time soon. Adele, let’s go in together.”

“······Let’s finish here for today.”

“That’s what I’m going to say, junior.”

“···”

I led the bickering two into the classroom, and each sat down and waited for the professor to come in.

As for the academy class, it was boring due to the nature of magic theory class.

The reason I was able to listen without falling asleep was probably because I was hungry for the act of learning without even realizing it.

Even in the past, I didn’t hate learning.

I liked it if I liked it, there was absolutely no reason to dislike it.

At that time, the very fact of learning a new magic came to me as a pleasure.

The reason I stopped studying and became an idiot is because I was disappointed in myself for failing to meet the count’s expectations despite my best efforts.

I was always compared to Adele by the Count, but that was my fault, not Adele or the Count.

Anyway, for these reasons, I was able to follow the class well despite the high level of class due to the nature of class 1.

Drreuk-

The door opened, and Professor Javert, the homeroom professor, entered.

Professor Javert, as he showed at the time of his first meeting, was a very equal person to everyone.

Whether your grades are high or low, whether you are noble or not, whether rumors are good or bad.

Because he treated all students equally and fairly, and even treated Philip Edgar, whom he scolded on the first day we met.

He was truly consistent and true to his convictions.

So, except for Philip, who was confused on the first day, everyone in class 1 liked Professor Javert, the homeroom teacher.

Although it had the downside of always being sincere without any jokes or hilarity.

So today, as usual, I thought I would start by drawing a magic circle (an element that makes magic more powerful. There are many cases where large-scale magic doesn’t work without a magic circle) on the blackboard.

“Before class begins today, I have an announcement to inform you.”

Something was different today.

Sugun Sugun-

“Notice?”

“What? Who was expelled?”

“Oh, no way. It’s only been two weeks since I entered school.”

“Senior, do you know anything?”

Is it because of Professor Javert, who is different from usual, or because of an unexpected announcement?

Students who used to talk quietly began to gossip.

“Quiet, I’ll explain so everyone be quiet.”

Although everyone soon became quiet when Professor Javert stopped them.

“First of all, you all probably know that you will break up with your senior mentors in two weeks.”

“However, there was an opinion among the professors that it would not be easy to adapt to the academy just by taking classes together.”

At this point, I felt a bit uneasy.

Because usually, troublesome things always happen behind such words.

And my predictions have never been wrong.

“So the academy has decided to give you guys something called ‘mentor assignment’.”

It was the first prelude to the mentor task that mentees and mentors work together.
