I Became an Extra Who Died Instead of the Main Character

6 – Best, Worst

“Lian…?”

I haven’t heard it in a while, but it’s still a beautiful voice that anyone can charm.

A god-sent face that you won’t be able to forget once you see it until the day you die.

The name I have never forgotten since I remembered that this world is in a novel.

“······Adele.”

It was Adele, my fiancee and the main character of this world.

At the sudden appearance of Adele, I reflexively turned my head to see her name written on the seat next to me.

And I was able to identify 7 distinct characters that I hadn’t seen before.

‘Adele Listonia’

“···”

Why didn’t I check this earlier?

If you checked earlier, you’re asking someone else to change her seat.

Couldn’t it be that the academy guys arranged the seats like this to be considerate of them since they’re fiancees?

Thank you very much.

I am so grateful that I wish I could see the person in charge.

The entrance ceremony hadn’t even ended, but the perception of the academy had already changed to dislike.

However, the fact that the academy became unlikable was a change, and I had to deal with Adele standing in front of me first.

‘······I didn’t expect to see you already.’

At this unexpected meeting, not only me, but also the other students who were chattering about me had to stop their gossip and remain silent.

After all, I’m just a count’s family, so the other students might have been talking about this and that whether I listened to it or not, but Adele’s Duke’s family of Listonia was a family different from mine, so it was only natural to remain silent.

Even non-nobility members of the empire knew about the Duke of Listonia, so it was a testament to how great Adele’s family was.

Talking about her party in front of Adelistonia, the daughter of the Duke of Listonia, was no different than saying that if she was a noble, she would want to be buried in aristocratic society.

The name of the Duke of Listonia was so great, and Adele, the only child and only daughter of that great family, was a person that it was difficult for ordinary aristocrats to face.

Those aristocratic students who were talking about me couldn’t open their mouth just because Adele came in, so I could say I’ve said enough.

“···”

“···”

A murderous silence where you can’t even hear the sound of ants crawling.

“I… Can’t breathe.”

“Who used magic? Why is it so suffocating…”

I could hear the other students’ painful cries, but I was choking too.

Because the weight of the atmosphere that Adele exudes is so heavy.

She gave off that heavy atmosphere, and the fact that she was only looking at me was so burdensome.

This situation is painful for me as well, and I wanted to get out of this situation quickly for the sake of other innocent students.

Since ‘that incident’, I haven’t had any experience talking to Adele.

The awkwardness between me and Adele was sky-high, so we couldn’t talk to each other easily.

Fortunately(?) It was Adele who broke this uncomfortable silence first.

“How are you…?”

A heartbreaking word, as if calling out an ex-lover who had been separated for a long time.

She was forced to break up with her for 5 years, and the lovers she met couldn’t match her affection.

I couldn’t help but panic.

As I remember the relationship between Adele and me at this time before returning, it was an incomprehensible affection.

Obviously between Adele and I, let alone that kind of affection, it would have been fortunate if we didn’t fight.

Adele always points out my actions and gets angry, and I don’t even listen to her right words.

Every time we fought, it was always Adele who was right, but the days when I struggled to deny it out of vain pride.

We fight every time we meet like that. Since ‘that incident’, we’ve become worse than strangers who ignore each other.

In the past, Adele and I were always at that level.

‘Why is he suddenly like this?’

Those memories are still vivid, but it was impossible to understand Adele acting as if she were seeing someone she missed.

Adele’s expression now is that of a fiancée, as if seeing her beloved fiancée after three years from a distance.

Then, I suddenly realized.

‘Ah… In front of other people?’

This isn’t just the two of us right now, but there are other students as well, so maybe you were conscious of the people around you.

When I thought about it like this, it made sense.

Adele must have entered the academy for the first time, so she probably didn’t want to fight with her fiancé at this place, which could be said to determine her first impression.

At her entrance ceremony, if she advertised that she was inferior to her fiancé, she would get everyone’s attention in a bad way.

For her future as the Duke of Listonia, she will need to build a lot of personal connections at Selenium Academy, where talented people can be seen gathered.

‘Then… I’ll have to guess.’

Then, it seems that I need to adjust for Adele’s school life, the main character, and my school life, which is determined to live peacefully.

“Yes, it’s been a while.”

“I missed you.”

Warak-

The fragrant scent passed by my nose, and I felt a warm touch all over my body.

“Oops, didn’t you say you’re not on good terms with the Princess of Listonia?”

“Yes, it must have been just a false rumor.”

“Something romantic…”

It was absurd to see the students start talking again, probably forgetting that they hadn’t been able to breathe properly until recently.

Actually, I was hugged by Adele and her thoughts stopped, so she had no room to pay attention to those words.

‘Why is he really like this?’

Seeing Adele like this, I was just embarrassed.

It wasn’t the first time that Adele had been touched by Adele, including her previous life and this one.

Excluding the time when I was very young, it would be correct to say that this is the first time since I learned everything to some extent.

In the past, when Adele and I were best friends, we always held hands and lived like family, but after that incident, as you know, we almost ignored each other.

It was fortunate that they didn’t fight with each other’s magic, let alone skinship.

‘Do you want to play the relationship between a fiancée and a fiancee you love in front of others?’

I’m a man too, so I can’t say I hate this hug, but it was far more important to understand Adele’s intentions than to enjoy the immediate feeling.

Befitting the main character of a magic fantasy novel, Adele was very intelligent.

She has an excellent brain and her excellent magic skills that reach the 3rd circle, as if the only princess of the best family in the empire is not for anyone.

As I said before, it’s not that the 3rd circle is a very high level, but it was the best among the 1st and 2nd year academy students.

And, as far as I remember, there was also a sentence that said that she always did not miss the top in the novel, so she could see what a genius girl Adele was.

There was no reason for such a smart Adele to do this without any reason, so isn’t it the duty of an extra like me to figure out her intentions and respond quickly?

Thought so, I pretended to hug Adele and quietly whispered to her.

“You don’t have to go this far. I’ll figure it out and pretend to be a good fiance in front of other people.”

“······What? No, that’s not it…”

“The entrance ceremony will begin soon, so all current and freshmen, please take your seats.”

After hearing my answer, Adele seemed to want to say something about her, but she had no choice but to stop at the announcement of the start of the entrance ceremony that came just in time.

‘······What is it? Isn’t this?’

Shouldn’t she have been like this for a while. Although she had doubts.

As soon as the host of the academy’s entrance ceremony came in, the question quickly disappeared somewhere.

The entrance ceremony for new students at Selenium Academy has begun.

***

“Lian…”

She couldn’t speak after all.

How long has she been waiting for this moment?

“Master… Are you all right?”

Undine, her water spirit, has been worried about her.

After awakening her inherent magical power, she was her own spirit that always followed her.

“······It’s okay.”

“I was expecting a lot, Master.”

Undine was right.

She had been dreaming and waiting for the moment she would see him again.

I’m sorry for not realizing your heart and your efforts.

From now on, I will always be by your side.

I’ve been waiting for this moment to say that.

Without being able to convey it, I had no choice but to stare blankly like back then.

“It’s okay though.”

But she tried to smile.

“Unlike then, we still have time.”

Unlike the past when realization was too slow, there was still time left for her and Rian.

I should have promised the following.

This wasn’t the only opportunity, and there must still be many opportunities left for her.

It was the moment when the focus returned to the eyes of the girl who is said to be the most beautiful in the world and the best freshman of all time.

Where his eyes were directed, stood a boy who was called the worst freshman of all time.
