The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 156 New skill - Charring Field

He shook his head and sighed, even though he didn't like this, however, the attraction of the magic academy was something he couldn't resist.

The first round was the talent test. Lathel knew his talent was very high; however, he could not surpass Alec.

If he competes with Alec, then he will become a villain. And of course, the ending of villains is often... not good.

The second round of competition, of course, is also the time when the male main character, Alec, will shine brightly. He possesses the magic-swordsman talent, and he can engage in close combat and use magic.

Besides, Alec also possesses the black Rose Flame, so his fighting power is almost unrivaled compared to new students.

Finally, the third round—perhaps this round will be public so everyone can watch.

And Lathel can be sure of one thing: this will be the round where Alec can flex to the point that everyone will remember him.

Lathel sighed: 'Being a male protagonist is great, always being noticed, admired, and even loved by others.'

'Ah! Okay, I don't need to be jealous; I just need to focus on my goal.'

'If Alec is famous, then surely there will be many villains and others approaching him. Maybe... then he won't care about me anymore.'

After thinking about these things, Lathel felt extremely comfortable and looked forward to tomorrow.

'Hm… Tomorrow, should I show off how talented I am?'

He started thinking: 'If it shows up as 'Earth' Rank F, it will be too difficult to approach pretty girls.'

'But if my talent is too high, I'm afraid it will make Alec uncomfortable.'

Lathel sighed. 'Alec is like a crazy dog who wants to bite everyone. If I let him know that my talent is very good, I'm afraid he will bite me too.'

'Hm… But my highest talent is only B; will he be jealous of me?'

If other magicians were to know what Lathel was thinking, they would drown him in saliva.

'It's just B'... is this something a human can say?

You must know that Rank D talent can make someone a famous adventurer, and they'll lead a prosperous life.

Lathel shook his head and put the scroll back into the storage space. He continued examining the space gem that Ryne had given him.

This gem is yellow like gold, but it was somewhat transparent, and it emitted a somewhat beautiful aura.

Above the gem, there were also a few strange white characters that were constantly moving, like some kind of simulated projection.

"Kid, this space gem is no ordinary thing. Its rank is definitely A, or even higher."

"Heh?!" Lathel heard Cauldron speak and was startled: "Rank A? Is it that incredible?"

"That's right." Cauldron explained: "The quality of this gem is Rank A, but it is equipped with many types of spells to recognise you as its owner."

"Those spells also have the function of protecting this gem, preventing theft, and locating it. Moreover, the gem is equipped with a type of magic that can protect people from a fatal attack from a level 80 master or more."

Hearing that, Lathel took a deep breath. He felt that this space gem was wonderful.

"Ah! Ryne… thank you." He muttered.

Lathel also did not think that Ryne would give him such a precious thing while he could not help her yet.

He shook his head and thought in his heart that if Ryne needed help in the future, he would try to help her out.

Lathel was even more surprised when he looked inside the space gem. Inside, there were many elemental stones, and some were suitable for his talent.

Naturally, most of the elemental stones are 'Earth' and fire elemental stones that were from rank F to D.

The highest grade was a tri-colored elemental stone, however, he thought he didn't need to use that stone right now.

Next are the scrolls inside the space gem; there were 4 scrolls in total.

Lathel took a scroll and opened it. He realized that this scroll instructed him on how to use a type of fire magic skill; moreover, the level of the skill was quite high (Rank D).

"Hm… this scroll… how do I use it?"

Cauldron: "…"

"Is this your first time coming into contact with a magical skill scroll?"

Lathel scratched his head and said: "Hehehe… that's right."

Cauldron sighed: "Okay, let me guide you. Magic skill scrolls are single-use items."

"Heh?! What do you mean… If I use it, will it disappear?"

"That's right."

"But… how can I use this?" Lathel asked confusedly.

Cauldron explained: "The nature of the magic scroll is that it is a type of magic item. Their creators are all high-level magicians or sages."

"If you want to use it, just fuse the magical energy corresponding to the element that the skill inside the scroll talks about with the scroll, and you can use it."

"The specific process after that—perhaps it would be better for you to experience it yourself."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned: "There won't be any risks, will there?"

"Of course there is." Cauldron said: "Normally, if your talent is low and you use a scroll with a higher rank than your talent, there will be two scenarios."

"In the first scenario, your magical energy will be disturbed by the energy inside the scroll, leading to loss of control and death."

Hearing that, Lathel shuddered, feeling that this situation was somewhat familiar.

That's right, he experienced something like this when he followed Alec's advice and tried to absorb magical energy from outside nature. In the end, his body could no longer bear it, and he almost died.

Luckily, he had the system and the five-color elemental stone, so he was able to survive until now.

Cauldron continued: "In the second scenario, you can learn magic inside the skill scroll; however... the power of that skill will be much weaker than it's supposed to be."

"The problem is that your talent rank does not match the skill rank in the scroll."

"Besides, to use high-ranking skills, you need to consume a lot of energy and other things."

"Ah! There is a third scenario where you are a genius. Even though your talent rank is low, if your energy level is high and you have enough ability to control the amount of energy consumed when using skills, you'll easily succeed."

"However, this scenario doesn't happen often, and there is only a 1% chance."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded. He felt that he could learn the skills from this scroll.

After all, the skill in this scroll is only Rank D, and his talent 'Fire' is Rank B. So he thought that there wouldn't be any big problems.

Lathel began to inject his fire magic energy into the scroll.

Immediately after, the scroll emitted a blinding light and turned into countless light particles.

Those light particles merged into his body and then disappeared.

Lathel suddenly realized he was inside his own energy space.

He raised his head and saw in the sky an extremely large word, 'Fire' emitting a dazzling light that was slowly descending.

"GRAOOO!!!"

Suddenly Anna roared, then flew into the sky, colliding with the word 'Fire'.

However, there wasn't any explosion like he thought; Anna easily absorbed all the light from the word 'Fire'.

This process happened very quickly, according to Lathel's estimate, it probably only took about 10 seconds.

After absorbing the word 'Fire', Anna rushed down, flew around Lathel, and said: "This skill is very simple; I can help you use it without too many complicated rituals. "

"Of course…" Anna stretched out her long tongue and licked his neck: "I need your permission to use your energy."

Lathel shivered; he felt the hot sensation that burned his skin coming from Anna's tongue.

"Next time… please stop licking me." Lathel said in an annoyed tone.

"Hahaha… are you shy? Or… are you afraid of me?" Anna said her voice seemed to have become much more feminine and seductive than before.

Lathel frowned and said: "Both. Okay, I'll let you use my energy, but what is this skill? I don't even know what kind of skill it is."

"Look closely!" Anna said, then she turned into a stream of flames, and flew into the sky.

BAM!

The flames exploded, turning into nine fireballs that fell to the ground, each fireball was more than two meters in diameter.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

…

Explosions rang out continuously. There were nine explosions, and nine holes in the ground. Even though Lathel stood far away, he could still feel the terrible temperature of those fireballs.

"This is amazing, this skill is only Rank D, why is it so strong?" Lathel muttered.

"It's thanks to me." Anna appeared next to him again, startling him.

"You…"

"Hehehe…" Anna giggled: "This skill is called 'Charring Field'."

In fact, this skill is a wide-range attack skill, and each fireball is less than 50 cm in diameter."

"However, thanks to the power of a Beast Flame and my ability to control fire, the power of this skill has increased many times over."

"Currently, it is comparable to a Rank C skill."

Hearing that, Lathel felt excited. He asked: "So... what do I have to do to use this skill?"

"Very simple…" Anna hovered in front of him, stretched out her long tongue, and gently licked his chest.

Lathel shivered and shouted angrily: "I said... don't lick me!"

"Hahaha…" Anna smiled and replied: "I was just joking with you."

Lathel frowned. He felt that Anna was becoming more and more strange. Before, she was looking at him with eyes full of hatred, but now she was teasing him.

Lathel sighed and said: "Okay, stop joking."

Anna nodded and said: "Just use your thoughts and give me orders. I will follow your orders and help you use magic freely."

"That means…" Lathel suddenly thought of something, he said: "Don't I need to use a magic staff and recite magic incantations?"

"Basically…" Anna nodded and replied: "you don't."
