I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

26 – Explosion

At the clearing in the forest where the others were lying, the chants of two different people rang out.

“Dark Spear!”

“Fire Spear.”

A black spear that was created by Professor Tillion and is likely to turn everything around black.

A red spear that appeared from my hand and seemed to burn the target just by looking at it collided.

Kwaang-!

The two spear magics were oxidized when they collided with each other, leaving only white smoke and disappearing without a trace.

Professor Tillion seemed shocked that his magic and mine’s firepower were equal.

“······What happened all of a sudden? A mere student took my magic.”

“···”

“And… You obviously said the 2nd circle in the information, how can you use the 3rd circle magic, Fire Spear?”

In addition to that, since I, originally known as the 2nd Circle, used 3rd Circle magic, the surprise must have been multiplied.

It was understandable to be surprised.

I am known as the best idiot in the empire with no magic talent.

It must be showing a completely different look from the student information you know.

“···”

But I didn’t bother to answer that question.

I don’t need to expose my power to the enemy I’m fighting right now.

“Seeing that you can’t even feel my magic… I guess it’s not as great an enemy as I thought.”

Because it was clear that I wouldn’t believe it if I told you about the spirit floating next to me.

Ifrit had earlier evaluated Professor Tillion as an enemy I could never defeat if I fought him, he seemed to have changed his mind when he saw Professor Tillion using 3rd circle magic.

Rather, he questioned Professor Tillian and even asked me.

“It’s not even that the magic circle is high… How the hell did that human tame that monster?”

“······There are parts that are expected.”

“Really?”

Ifrit seemed surprised to hear that I was expecting something he didn’t even think of, but when he thought about it, he wasn’t out of the question.

So instead of answering Ifrit, he asked Professor Tillion.

“How much did you spend?”

“······What do you mean? Student Lian?”

“Your lifespan. How long have you spent?”

“······How to…?”

Professor Tillian, who had been maintaining a smiling expression here, shook for the first time, as if he hadn’t thought he would figure it out.

After hearing what I said to Professor Tillion, Ifrit clapped his hands as if he finally understood.

“Black magic. You must have used black magic.”

Hearing that, I also nodded.

“Uh. Using monsterization means you’ve already touched black magic, but didn’t you use black magic that converts lifespan into magical power?”

As I said before, it was a very simple thing if you think about it.

Professor Tillian is not a person who became a professor at the academy because of his excellent magical abilities.

If he was a person with excellent magical abilities, he would be working as the homeroom professor for a class other than a science professor.

A person like that could create monsters like this?

It was a situation that made no sense.

There are so many monster transformation magics, so there are magics with low circles, and conversely, there are magics with high circles.

But the levels of the monsters that exist in this forest are quite high.

I couldn’t believe that the monstrous monster that Professor Tillian was riding was a level 3 monster transformation magic.

So I could think of it here.

‘I changed my lifespan into magical power.’

Mamulization magic itself, which turns animals into monsters, is black magic.

Hasn’t the person who already created monsters like this used magic to change lifespan into magical power?

“I must have written it.”

There was absolutely no way that would happen.

After the reasoning, Ifrit exclaimed at me.

“Our contractor is smarter than I thought.”

“······More than you think.”

The problem was that the admiration didn’t seem to be pure praise.

Around the time I was frowning at the spirit’s words that made me feel bad, a mad laugh erupted from Professor Tillion.

“hahahahaha!”

Seeing Professor Tillion like that, Ifrit shook his body as if giving goosebumps.

“Why is that human suddenly acting like that?”

“······I don’t know.”

I couldn’t give you the right answer as to why.

Professor Tillian said, wiping his eyes with his hands, as if he was laughing so hard that he was about to burst into tears.

“It’s been a while since I’ve laughed out loud.”

“···”

If you look at the meaning of the words alone, the words could be mistaken for a very peaceful situation.

As Professor Tillian stopped laughing, an energy of unknown magical energy began to emanate from him, so I was ready to chant magic at any time.

Professor Tillian, who confirmed that I did not let go of my tension, waved his hand in the air as if that was not what he meant.

“Oh, don’t worry. I don’t intend to attack right now.”

“······How do you believe?”

“As a teacher right now, I just want to commend Lian for his excellent reasoning.”

Hearing those words, I was even more nervous.

And as I expected, Professor Tillion’s demeanor suddenly changed as soon as he finished speaking.

“It’s true that I want to compliment you, but that doesn’t mean I can’t kill Lian, right?”

“···”

“If I save you, who knows how I created these monsters, my plans will go awry.”

At the bloody words that would kill me, instead of reacting, I chose to remain silent.

When I didn’t respond, Professor Tillian shook his head and said,

“Now that you don’t even respond to the teacher’s words, this is a really bad student to be a model student.”

“······I don’t want to be a student of a mad teacher who wants to kill students.”

“Khehehe. I guess you have the time to provoke now?”

Professor Tillian, who briefly laughed at my small provocation, soon changed the atmosphere and spoke in a chilly voice.

“I feel like my pride skyrocketed just because I received the magic I used once, but I’ll tell you soon how conceited that thought was like a frog in a well.”

“Fire Wall!”

Before he could finish his words, he thought that Professor Tillian’s magic would come right away, so he prepared magic to counter it.

“Go. Tear him whole.”

“Kiehehehehe!”

Professor Tillian gave orders to monsters instead of using magic.

Bang-! Bang-!

Every time the monster took a step, the ground shook and the tree roots shook.

Even the huge wall of fire I created, the monsters broke through as if nothing was wrong.

“…To ignore the 4th circle magic, the firewall.”

“Contractor, run away. That human could have won, but not that monster!”

Ifrit immediately screamed at me that I was in danger.

“······I know.”

It wasn’t that I didn’t know either.

If this continues, as Professor Tillian said, you will die a terrible death from that monster.

“But. I can’t help it.”

Even so, I couldn’t escape.

“Are you going to run away? Run away! Instead, your classmates and mentors will die.”

As Professor Tillian said, everyone would be in danger if I ran away.

‘I’m sure… I read it.’

So instead of running away, I tried to remember the book I had read in the old count’s library.

In the past, when I was interested in magic, a magic book containing high-level magic that was stored in the count’s library.

– This is dangerous. Rian.

– Mother…?

– Let this mother take this dangerous book.

– No!

The magic book that was secretly read but was caught by the countess and confiscated as it is dangerous.

In that spell book, there was a spell that could overcome this situation.

“·······Remembered.”

After I succeeded in recalling my past memories, I started chanting that magical spell.

“An ember starts in a small place and becomes a fire that burns the forest…”

“Are you crazy?”

After hearing my spell, Ifrit literally freaked out and stopped me by shaking me.

Assuming it’s not a fire spirit, he seemed to have figured out what fire magic was just after hearing the chant.

“That magic already has serious side effects, but if you use it in the current condition of the contractor, you really don’t know what kind of situation it will cause!”

Ifrit was right.

If I use this magic right now, I’ll be blown away by a storm that’s on a completely different level from the entrance ceremony.

I didn’t know if there would be aftereffects that couldn’t be compared to fainting.

‘······· It’s hot.’

I hadn’t even cast the magic yet, but a different level of heat was already swirling around me.

“That fire…”

“Didn’t I tell you to stop!”

Although Ifrit started making sounds that were almost crying now.

Even so, I didn’t stop chanting.

For now, this is the best way to stop that monster coming towards us.

“······Move faster. Faster!”

Professor Tillian also urged the monster as if he sensed something unusual.

“Kiehehehe!”

The monster’s sharp paws approached my head.

It was a situation where it was clear that I would be killed by those paws in a short time.

“······Let the fire explode.”

Unfortunately, however, my magic chant ended just before the monster’s paws touched me.

“Contractor!”

“Ifrit, protect my friends.”

Can you?

With the last words to protect the other students, the long magic was activated.

“Explosion.”

A huge explosion covered the forest of Selenium Academy.
