I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

19 – Mentor Assignment (4)

Today, there is only one day left until the Mentor Assignment.

Tomorrow I really had to go into the woods and do the assignments.

Until now, while conducting special classes for mentor assignments, there were some students who wanted to get high marks unconditionally.

“Undine, light.”

“Okay! Master!”

The first was Adele Listonia, which can be taken for granted.

Her unique magic, spiritism, made her originally a brilliant genius more perfect.

She was originally good at handling her mana, but her link with Undine, her water spirit, made her mana much easier to handle.

“Wow, look at that.”

“Looks like you’ve been keeping it for 4 hours already.”

“It’s not just maintenance, it’s also using other magic… Is that a human?”

It wasn’t simply maintaining one magic, but it brought me to the result of using another magic while maintaining one magic.

“······Excellent.”

“Thank you, Professor.”

I even got compliments from Professor Javert, who doesn’t seem to have ever complimented his students.

It was a part that showed me how great Adele is.

And the second, Stella Dragnis.

I couldn’t show special features such as maintaining various magic like Adele, but the basic skills were very solid.

Seeing Stella use her magic, she was a bit surprised at first, to be honest.

She is Stella, who has lived in Count Kindred’s family as if she didn’t even know about magic.

Even though Class 1 is said to have gathered the best here, there was no one who could compare to Stella except for Adele.

Even better than me in terms of magical achievement.

“Light.”

It must have been the same light magic, but unlike the small spheres of light of the other students, it was a sphere of light that was almost the size of a fist.

If Adele showed the difference in status, Stella showed the difference in proficiency.

It was the same when practicing magic other than light magic.

“Fire!”

When other students make a small fire to keep it alive for as long as possible.

“Fire.”

The size of the fire was much larger, but the duration of the fire was no different from other students.

I thought it would be possible to keep the duration longer, but I felt like ending the magic early because it was annoying.

If you keep it for a long time, you will get unnecessary attention, so it’s like reaping the magic early because you don’t like it.

It’s not really like that, but Stella was so relaxed when using magic that it felt like that.

I had no idea how Stella was so good at magic proficiency.

Anyway, these two gave the impression that they were on a different level from other students, and it looked like they would easily pass the mentor assignment.

And compared to the overwhelming two, I was just average.

Compared to other students, I’m not too bad, but I’m not too good either.

Is it because I used someone else’s magic instead of my own in the first place?

Even if I used someone else’s mana, in the end I was using my own mana, but even so, I had been practicing magic for many years, so I was able to do all the basic magic.

“Look at that, I’m still keeping Lian Kindred.”

“Didn’t you cheat?”

“I can’t lose to that guy.”

Of course, even if I performed magic well, as always, I was greeted with sympathy and suspicion, not encouragement or praise.

It was unfair that there was only one crime of hard participation, but what can I do?

As I always said, it’s a sin I’ve lived wrongly up until now.

Anyway, we have been practicing for the mentor task so far, and we have finished preparing for the mentor task.

***

“Today, there will be safety training for you guys.”

Professor Javert, who had been teaching basic magic practice until now, brought up the idea of conducting safety education.

If you were a self-respecting class 1 student, at the word safety education, you would have been angry enough to say that you didn’t think they were your boyfriend.

“···”

Until now, I had not followed the professor’s words, but after confirming everything that had happened, even if I had complaints, no one directly expressed their dissatisfaction.

That Philip Edgar was also quietly trying to listen to Professor Javert’s explanation, so how many times have he suffered so far?

“I will first explain the goal of the basic task.”

Gravity.

Shuuk-

After saying that, Professor Javert used gravity magic to float the paintings into the air and handed them out to us one by one.

“This is your goal.”

‘A golden… Flower?’

Mysteriously, a picture drawn by Professor Javert saying it was a goal was a golden flower.

“Wow, the color of the flowers is golden?”

“Pretty…”

Students burst into small admiration at the golden flowers that even looked a bit mysterious.

“Wow, I’ve never seen a golden flower before.”

Senior Tinia, who was sitting next to me, also responded that she was curious as if she had never seen a golden flower.

“Quiet. I know it’s strange because golden flowers aren’t common, but the explanation isn’t over yet.”

Then, the classroom becomes quiet again, as if it had never been talked about before.

Everyone thinks flowers are amazing, but they don’t seem as precious as scores.

After the classroom became quiet for some time, Professor Javert continued his explanation.

“As you may have noticed from the unusual color of the flower, this flower has a special magic.”

“If you touch a flower that looks like this, you will be returned to the entrance of the forest. The team that finds and touches this flower and returns to the entrance of the forest will receive the highest score immediately.”

‘Is it a hidden object finder?’

According to Professor Javert’s words, this mentor assignment could be briefly explained as follows.

There is a golden flower that looks like that in the forest, and if you touch it after finding it, you can get the highest score right away.

It was similar to the children’s game of finding hidden objects.

A game where a tagger hides an object and other children find it.

When things change into flowers and the tagger turns into an academy professor, there is no difference from this mentor assignment.

A bit different(?) Is that there are ferocious wild animals living in the place where the goods are hidden.

“Any questions?”

Flash-

There were people who immediately raised their hands when Professor Javert asked if he had any questions.

The other day, I was a senior mentor in the second grade who expressed his opinion that the forest might be dangerous.

“What should I do in case of an unexpected situation, Professor?”

As if the opinion that he still thinks it is dangerous is the same, the senior asked questions about the dangerous situation.

“Yes, what if something happens?”

“Ah, there are wild animals, so what could happen?”

“But just in case.”

The other day, everyone disagreed with what the senior said.

Do you agree with what could happen?

“······Good question.”

Professor Javert must have thought so as well, as he nodded his head.

“The best thing is not to create a dangerous situation itself, but unless it is a clean and organized place, unexpected situations can occur.”

“At that time, if you fire a signal magic above the sky, your advisor will immediately move to that spot.”

“You’ll lose a lot of points because you’re giving up on the assignment, but it’s better than having personal problems.”

So if there was a situation where you had to give up while carrying out a task, you could fire a signal magic into the sky and give up the task.

Of course, it would be better not to use it because it was an act of giving up on the assignment, but I still didn’t know about human affairs.

I can’t say for sure that there won’t be a situation where I have to give up the assignment because of something really urgent.

Who knows, there will be a situation where you will suddenly be attacked by wild animals and retire.

As if Professor Javert had finished his explanation, he said, canceling the gravity magic.

“This is enough to explain everything about mentor assignments to you.”

“You have worked hard taking special classes so far, and I hope you will do your best so that you will not have any regrets for tomorrow’s mentor assignment.”

With those words, the bell signaling the end of class rang.

Drreuk-

Professor Javert left the classroom.

And as soon as Professor Javert left the classroom, the students started talking.

“I don’t think it’s as difficult as I thought.”

“Yeah, I was really nervous. It’s not that hard to find a flower.”

“I think it’ll be easier to find because it’s even a very visible golden flower.”

I wonder if it wasn’t just the other students who wanted to ask, senior Tinia immediately called out my name.

“Brother Ryan.”

“Yes?”

“What do you think of this assignment, junior Lian?”

This assignment…

After organizing my thoughts in my head for a while, I replied as if I was not sure.

“Honestly, it’s true that it looks easier than I expected. But…”

“But?”

“I have a feeling that my first assignment at the academy won’t be this easy.”

This was true.

Until now, I don’t think Professor Javert would have us practice like that for a task of this magnitude.

I still feel the reluctance I felt from the first time I heard about the mentor assignment.

“Don’t worry, I can protect junior Lian.”

“hahahaha, thank you.”

“Eh, what was that reaction? I’m serious about this.”

Thanks to Tinia-senpai’s words that seemed to ease my tension, she was able to put down the unknown feeling of incongruity for a while and relax to some extent.

“Really? This is impressive.”

“Sure, who am I?”

Thanks to having relaxed to a certain extent, I was able to spend the rest of the time chatting with Tinia-senpai without feeling uncomfortable.

Without expecting anything that will happen in the forest tomorrow.
