My Bothersome Life - Chapter 378

“I know how to do disintegration too!” I wondered how his spell would be different than mine.

“You must be quite the magician,” he seemed a bit surprised.

Once he tapped the map again, the entire building disappeared from existence, not leaving a single trace. I gulped as this was different from mine, much more sophisticated. At the same time, I wanted to learn how to do it.

“There’s no light and dark energies swirling together,” I mumbled.

“They’re compressed and swiftly done, not consuming as much mana,” he explained.

“But why make them suffer here when we can do much more damage by destroying their mansions?” I accidentally blurted my thoughts out loud.

“Our host wanted this to be our stage,” he sighed, having the same thoughts.

“Where is Ailes?” I hoped to avoid wherever he may be.

“He’s near the school barrier, maintaining it every night to keep the audience members inside,” the magician seemed to reveal everything without any second thoughts.

“So can you teach me to do a better job of disintegration?” I switched the topic, fearing he may take me to him.

“Can you show me how you usually do it?”

“Sure,” I smiled while aiming outside the school barriers.

Hopefully, I would accidentally use disintegration on Ailes, solving this entire problem tonight. I raised my hand towards the edge of the entrance of the school, concentration on all the small particles that made up the space. From the formation of the dirt to the trees living off the sunlight. Including the mana that pulsed in the air, making them stand firmer than the rest of the districts. Focusing on the edge of the barrier, I chanted, “disintegration!”

Like I had expected, the light and dark energies drilled like a tornado to all of its surroundings. The hardest part was once the spell has been chanted, I didn’t know how to control it. It didn’t spare anything around it, sucking all that it could to fill its emptiness. The magician froze at the mass amount of power that continued to destroy everything on a large scale, not stopping at whatever it stood in its way.

“I don’t know how to make it like yours,” I turned to him for help.

“How much mana did you pour into the spell?” He could sense the power behind it.

“A lot?” I wondered if he didn’t do the same.

“Normally, if done right, it doesn’t consume much mana,” he began his explanation.

“You just combine a hint of light and dark energies together to your target and they do the rest of the work since the two elements are on opposite sides,” he showed the proper way of doing it by destroying another building inside.

“So how do I get rid of that thing?” I pointed to the whirling tornado.

“I don’t know,” he admitted.

“You can only lead it somewhere, hoping it’ll disappear after someone else takes care of it.”

“Can’t Ailes take care of it? Doesn’t he know everything?” I wondered.

“I can send a signal to Ailes,” he seemed to agree before it caused more havoc.

After tapping on another section of the map, a black dot began to move towards where I had unleashed the spell. My eyes widened as Ailes have been close to the entrance of the school near the middle school section. I almost gasped as all these attacks could have started because of me. I thought he would have given up on me after the other s-class monsters told him I was dead.

“Did Ailes mention to target a specific member in the audience?” I hoped it wasn’t the case.

“He just mentioned a girl with silky silver hair with average features, resembling the ones coming from the northern part of the third district. It can’t be you since many people in the first district have silver hair. Plus, you are one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen, making it certain you come from the first district,” he stared at my face.

Was I supposed to be thankful that they didn’t know what my new appearance looked like? From hearing my punishment from the overseer before he moved on, I thought this appearance would attract more monsters. However, I was glad it wasn’t the case for some reason. I wiped off all my emotions from my face as I watched Ailes struggling to handle my failed spell. I hoped it would exhaust him into the point he wouldn’t be able to continue this into the next night.

“How much longer?” I was starting to get bored of all the people running on the ground after a few hours passed.

“Two more hours until the sun rises,” he looked at the sky.

“Don’t you get bored of watching them?” I wondered.

“I switch up the attacks every once in a while,” he showed me how he added some tornados to the mix, inspired by my failed attack.

“How about some thunderbolts? It could go well with the water,” I thought of less dangerous attacks that would be easier to avoid.

“I added them in,” he snapped his fingers.

I stiffened when the thunder bolts made the difficulty level strike up as it travelled among the fog and electrocuted the people in the water. Maybe the tornados and laser beams were better than this. The magician was able to hide where the thunder cursed through the sky, making it harder to detect than other spells.

“I’ll let you join them soon since you’ll want to escape from this for the next night,” he was much more generous towards me.
