The Main Heroine Falls for the Extra

After the duel incident, unexpectedly quiet days continued.
Both I and Riel were wary of Allen, but he did not make any particular moves.
He just seemed to be thinking about something else, staring blankly out the window for some reason.
He did not show behaviors like persistently talking to Riel or following her around as he had done until now.
While I felt relieved, I was also anxious.
There was another change.
Liliana had not come to the academy since that day.
I wondered if she had quit the academy, but that wasn’t the case.
‘They say she’s been placed on disciplinary probation’
That’s what was written in my mother’s letter, which I received a few days after the duel.
In short, Baron Edwin found out that Liliana was the cause of my duel.
He promptly sent someone to bring Liliana back, and placed her on disciplinary probation.
To be honest, Liliana might feel somewhat unfair about the duel happening.
But Liliana accepted the disciplinary probation without any resistance, they say.
Well, perhaps her conscience was bothering her because of what she did during the duel.
Her pale white face after the duel ended was telling that.
…If she was going to regret it this much, she shouldn’t have done such a thing in the first place.
Regarding Liliana’s attendance at the academy, I told the baron to let her do as she pleases.
If her disciplinary probation is lifted someday, she will probably return to the academy.
Of course, I intend not to care about it anymore.
And above all, there was a big change.
A seating rearrangement.
After the duel incident, the atmosphere around Allen and his followers was so gloomy that the homeroom teacher decided to rearrange the seats earlier to change the mood.
And the homeroom teacher looked at Riel.
That’s understandable, as Riel is the interim class representative of this class.
Of course, it’s not because she wanted it. The reason Riel became the interim class representative is, of course, Allen Ludwig.
When no one wanted to take on the role of interim class representative, the homeroom teacher took recommendations, and at that time, Allen recommended Riel as the interim class representative.
According to what I heard from Riel, she was thrown into a panic because Allen suddenly brought up her name, and couldn’t say anything as the conversation just proceeded.
“Then, Riel, would it be okay to ask you this favor?”
The favor was to create a drawing for seat assignments.
When the homeroom teacher hesitantly asked Riel like that, Riel nodded.
Then the homeroom teacher showed a surprised expression.
That’s understandable too.
Until now, Riel would not say anything no matter what favor the homeroom teacher asked, causing trouble for the teacher, but now she gave an answer, even if it was just nodding.
Looking closely at Riel’s face, one could see a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
“This worked out perfectly!”
The secret room in the library.
Riel said this while cutting paper with a knife to make number tags.
“When I became the class representative, I wondered what to do, but I didn’t expect to have an opportunity to use it like this.”
“What are you planning to do?”
“I’ve really had no luck with seating, you know?”
Come to think of it, I had heard from Riel before.
When she attended Sunday school as a child, and even when she came to this academy, whenever she drew seats, Allen would always sit nearby.
“Since I’m making the paper and the drawing box, I’ll definitely avoid him!”
“Riel, you’re not…”
“Yes! I’m going to cheat!”
The cheating that Riel did was really nothing special.
In advance, Riel secretly removes the paper for the seat at the very back corner of the classroom.
She passes the paper for the seat next to it to me.
The papers for the two seats in front are deeply hidden by pretending they got stuck in the corner seam of the drawing box by chance.
And at the timing when Riel and I draw, we pretend to draw while actually taking out the papers we had removed in advance.
The papers hidden in the seam would be drawn by the person who draws the paper last.
But Allen Ludwig, because of his name, draws the paper almost at the beginning.
The probability of him drawing the hidden paper is really low.
The strategy succeeded beautifully, and Riel succeeded in sitting away from Allen.
In the seat in front of me was a female student I had never spoken to, and in front of Riel’s seat.
“Since Liliana is not here, let’s make the remaining seat her seat.”
It became Liliana’s seat.
Of course, she won’t come to the academy for a while because she’s on disciplinary probation.
From afar, Allen was looking at where Riel and I were with an expression of disbelief.
Well, why, what.

As the world of a novel became reality, it felt quite fresh to see things unfold before my eyes that weren’t properly expressed in the novel.
For example, this, summons.
In the novel, this part was briefly explained, just mentioning what kinds there were.
It actually doesn’t take up a significant portion of the novel, and that’s understandable.
As the magic class progressed to a certain point, we each summoned and contracted with one summon.
This part is briefly mentioned in the original story, mentioning who summoned what kind of summon.
For example, Allen in front, just like in the original story, summoned a fairy that emits a gentle light.
I could see Allen, who had summoned and contracted with a fairy, talking with people around him.
“Hmm… this isn’t working well.”
In front of me, Riel was struggling with a paper on which a magic circle was drawn.
Since Riel wasn’t good at summoning magic, it’s understandable that she would struggle.
‘Woof!’
The summon I summoned was… a dog.
The dog, which was slightly sprinkling green magical power, was cute rather than cool.
I think there was a dog like this among real breeds…
Kyo Wentos’s summon never appeared because Kyo Wentos left the academy before the summoning class.
So, I felt a fresh emotion looking at the summon in front of me.
Well, thinking about it, it might be a fresh experience at this point when I’m taking the summoning class together with Riel like this.
“Ah, I succeeded!”
When the magic circle began to emit a red light, Riel shouted excitedly as if she didn’t care about the people around her.
In the original story, Riel’s summon was definitely a small fire dragon that blew out hot flames.
A powerful summon came out despite her summoning skill, and when it showed signs of going out of control, Allen stepped in to subdue it.
I approached Riel’s side with caution, just in case.
While I was raising my tension level with the summoned summon to protect Riel at any time.
“…Meow?”
“…Huh?”
“Wow!!”
What came out of the magic circle was not something like a fire dragon.
It was a red-furred cat that certainly emitted heat, but it was heat that gave a warm feeling rather than a hot one.
Well, I didn’t expect even this part to be different from the original.
Just in case, I observed carefully without letting my guard down, but this cat summon was just looking up at Riel while curling its body obediently.
Riel approached the cat summon while chanting the contract ceremony.
…The contract was made very smoothly.
“From now on, your name is Freya.”
She successfully gave it a name right away.
It’s a perfect summon contract.
Thus, one of the events in the original story, Riel’s summon going out of control, did not happen and came to an end.
…My summon’s name?
“Baduk, let’s do our best too.”
“Whine…”
Hey, don’t be dissatisfied.
From a distance, there were eyes watching Riel who had completed the summon contract.
Of course, it’s Allen Ludwig.
Allen’s state of mind was quite complex.
He had constantly thought that that annoying high nobleman’s son was forcibly dragging Riel around.
He thought he would definitely give that guy a taste of bitterness and protect Riel.
But on the day of the duel. The realization that that thought was wrong came to him.
Both he and Kyo Wentos were slightly injured in the duel.
At that time, when he saw Riel running to Kyo Wentos without even looking at him, worrying about Kyo Wentos.
Allen felt like something inside him had shattered.
‘Why… you are my childhood friend… my precious person…’
That scene still floated before his eyes, so Allen couldn’t properly face Riel after that.
Riel, who was summoning a summon and laughing with Kyo Wentos in front, looked very happy.
‘To me… to me, you never showed such an expression even once…’
He thought it was just because she was shy, embarrassed.
But it wasn’t.
She was making an expression that looked very joyful in front of Kyo Wentos.
Despite having been with her for years, it was a face Allen had never seen before.
“Indeed… Riel is that guy’s…”
Should he give up?
It was when Allen was contemplating like that.
“Allen, why are you standing there blankly?”
“Johan.”
He was Johan, who could be called Allen’s best friend.
He was also a boy who had grown up in a similar environment as Allen as the son of a lower noble family, and had met Allen at the academy and become friends.
“Is it because of Lady Ignis?”
“……Yes.”
Johan looked at Riel, who was smiling in front.
“Indeed… is it better to give up like this?”
“Hmm…”
Johan knew that Allen liked Riel.
Despite making so many other girls fall for him, this sinful guy was only looking at Riel.
But even to Johan, Riel already seemed very intimate with Kyo Wentos.
A completely different appearance from when she was with Allen.
No matter how you look at it, Allen didn’t seem to have a chance.
…If Allen doesn’t give up and continues to chase after Riel, won’t both Riel and Allen just suffer?
Wouldn’t it be better to give up and find a new love?
Thinking so, Johan opened his mouth.
“Allen… in my opinion…”
“But… I don’t want to give up. I really like Riel.”
“……”
Johan’s words stopped abruptly at Allen’s words.
Johan’s eyes contained no emotion, as if they were empty.
“Johan, what on earth should I do?”
“……”
“…Johan?”
Allen looked questioningly at Johan who wasn’t saying anything.
At that moment, Johan suddenly spoke.
“Allen, then don’t give up! Those two aren’t even dating yet, right?”
“Yes…? That’s true, but that atmosphere already…”
“Are you the kind of guy who would give up with just this level of obstacle! Was your feelings for all these years only worth that much?”
Johan, who was saying something different from what he was thinking just now.
He was saying passionate words as if to encourage Allen, but his eyes somehow looked empty.
