I Reincarnated as the Mob Flame User Destined to Die in the Early Stages of the Game, but When I Cleared the Event Before the Protagonist, the Heroines Followed Me

Chapter 5 – Magic Fundamentals

“I see, then you need to study hard.”

After saying that, Old Man Zes left, and Alicia popped out again.

“Phew~ That was scary, nyaa~”

“Old Man Zes won’t get mad at Alicia if she doesn’t do anything bad. In fact, he’s kind.”

“But… I still don’t want to get too close. Only Gett is close with him.”

“As long as you don’t steal from the apple trees, you’ll be fine.”

“I love apples, nyaa~”

It seems like Alicia has no intention of quitting being an apple thief.

You don’t just like apples, you also like meat, fish, and bread, don’t you?

“I’m going back to church.”

“I hope you’re safe from Old Man Zes.”

“Stop it, I’ll be fine.”

Alicia didn’t join me to enter the church.

I studied fire magic in the church library.

In the game, you can quickly learn skills by paying money to Old Man Zes, but reality is different from games.

It seems like you won’t get used to it unless you steadily memorize it little by little every day.

In the game, even the hero Dust did basic training until he was 18 years old.

I felt like I could get stronger quickly in the game, but if I don’t build up the basics of magic and swords, I’ll have a hard time increasing my level.

I’m not a hero, I’m just a mob.

I should learn the basics well.

Like that, I studied the magic books for a while.

Surprisingly, it’s quite fun. I felt that time passed in the blink of an eye.

After a while…

[Fire LV1 obtained]

I ran to Old Man Zes.

“Old Man Zes! I learned Fire LV1!”

“That’s great, why don’t you show me outside?”

“Yeah, let’s go!”

I got excited and we went outside.

“Fire!”

I released fire with my right hand.

A fireball the size of a soccer ball was generated and exploded in front of my eyes.

I was tossed to the ground.

Come to think of it… that’s how it was supposed to happen.

Even in the game, I always took damage whenever I cast Fire, but I had completely forgotten about it over the past five years.

“Ho ho ho, then let’s learn the basics of magic manipulation.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go further outside. And bring a chair for you to sit on.”

I placed a chair near the usual fence and sat down.

“Use both hands to create a small flame.”

I emit a small flame. A burning, dancing flame broke out.

“I did it!”

“Not yet, now turn that flame into a sphere and stop it from moving.”

“!!!”

I couldn’t suppress the raging flame.

“You haven’t quite got it yet. Keep practicing until you can maintain a perfect sphere. That’s the basics.”

After saying that, Old Man Zes entered the church.

From that day on, I continued to train with the mace and shield, but I also trained to turn a small flame into a sphere.

[Fire’s LV has increased from 1 to 2]

Seriously! Just doing this can increase my level!

Plus, the MP consumption is low, so I can keep it up for a long time.

When I tried to shoot Fire, Old Man Zes stopped me, saying, “It’s not time yet.”

I continued practicing the basics every day.

At first, the flame was wild and unruly, but gradually it settled down, turning into like teardrops.

Then, the teardrop gradually changed into a sphere.

I started to enjoy the training more and more.

Once I could create a sphere, I was instructed to move it freely. Then, I practiced feeling the magical power of the fiery sphere with my eyes closed, learning to move it at will.

[Fire’s LV has increased from 9 to 10]

[High Fire LV1 obtained]

I learned not only Fire but also High Fire.

Gett has a talent for fire magic.

I was moved by how hard I had worked to learn.

I’ve trained with my mace, shield, and fire so far, but I haven’t been able to put much of my game knowledge to use.

Basic training was already completed when you started the game, and if you want to learn something, just press the training button at the church and you’d be able to learn it right away.

However, knowledge of the game is useless when it comes to the basics.

Dust, the main character, learned the basics well, and I, a mobster, set out on a journey without learning the basics.

That’s why I used to take damage when casting Fire and why my mace movements were clumsy.

I became immersed in practicing the basics of magic.

When my Fire reached level 10, I ran to tell Old Man Zes.

“I’ve reached Fire LV10! I did it!”

“Okay, okay. Show me outside.”

I was so excited because I was told that I could use Fire once I reached Fire LV10.

“Fire!”

A fireball the size of a soccer ball flew straight ahead without damaging me.

The fire hit a rock and spread through it.

Now, I can use a single-target attack spell!
