3 Accidentally Forming A New Mana Circle...
"Well... that didn't work out too well..." Matthew sighed.
After replying, 'yes' to Lilian, she punished him. What was the punishment? He can't attend classes for a whole week.
Normally, Matthew would be really happy about it, but, in the first week the teachers explain how to use magic and because he won't be able to attend them...
He will need to learn how to use magic himself.
And also, because of his "comment" he doesn't need to go to her office anymore, but he knows that she will call him to her office sometime...
After all, she also saw the "string of fate", and that will surely cause him a lot of problems.
Upon arriving at his dorm, Matthew sat down on his bed and then looked at the ring on his right hand.
"Come out." He uttered.
At that moment, a ghostly figure came out of the ring and then chirped in a happy tone.
"Chill, chill out!" Matthew remarked as the small figure continuously licked his cheeks.
"Here's your food." Matthew threw a small pill.
'Should I say that the predecessor was lucky or unlucky?'
Looking forward, Matthew could see a small... dragon. She had white-colored scales and pink eyes.
'... "Matthew" didn't have any good appearances in the novel... so, why does he have a dragon as a pet?' He wondered.
Dragons are extinct species, something that should not exist, but somehow Matthew had one.
"Does Stacy also get a dragon pet? She's the protagonist so the probably is pretty high..."
Kyoo!
"Mhm, are you still hungry?" He asked the small dragon.
The dragon shook his head and instead laid down on his head. Matthew was confused, but then, his body suddenly started trembling...
"Argkk!" He groaned in pain.
Suddenly, he started feeling that his meridian was starting to widen up, which is something that should be impossible.
However, as he felt a strange mana entering his body he instantly understood that it was the little dragon that was giving him mana.
He hurriedly controlled the mana until his mana circle and slowly started absorbing it.
On his mana circle, where an enigmatic circle could be seen, there was a pink mana surrounding it at a very fast speed.
The circle let out a string of mana that attached to that same pink-colored mana, and slowly, the pink-colored mana got into the mana circle.
The circle which was blue, slowly turned into a pinkish color, and suddenly, as Matthew gripped his fists tightly due to the amount of pain.
A new circle was starting to form itself...
"Fuck! I can't believe I'm getting a new mana circle right now..." Matthew gritted his teeth.
Although he has a mana circle as every single person does, he doesn't know how to control mana well, so creating a new circle can be problematic if you don't know how to use mana.
Then, he saw another pink string of mana, but instead of his mana circle absorbing, the mana string suddenly entered the new circle...
Crack!
With the help of the pink string of mana, the second circle started forming and slowly, a pinkish smoke started leaking out of Matthew's body.
The small dragon opened his eyes, and got into Matthew's lap, which it could see that Matthew was struggling.
He put his small paw on Matthew's chest and a very cold energy suddenly entered Matthew's body.
It attacked his meridians which stopped their growth and then followed to Matthew's mana circles.
The cold energy entered the second circle and as the newly formed circle absorbed it, it suddenly formed itself!
"Ugh!" Matthew snapped his eyes open.
He panted as a cold breath came out of his mouth...
He looked at the little dragon in shock as his lips parted, "Did you actually create an attribute-mana circle?"
"Only people at 7th-circle can do that and only because the 8th-circle requires an attribute!"
To his words, the little dragon only chirped in response.
"Uhh, now that I noticed... You seem to have grown?" Matthew asked, taking a closer look at the small dragon.
It nodded in response, pointing with her little paw at Matthew's chest.
"Does that mean that you grow as I get more mana circles?" he asked
Kyoo!
'Wait... this is a brain-dead novel where the female protagonist gets probably more than ten guys on her harem...'
'There's a chance that she can get a dragon as a pet...'
"Does that mean that you can transform into a human?" Matthew asked the small dragon, his eyes full of stars.
Kyo! Kyooo!
The small dragon jumped into his arms in response. Matthew gladly caught him and started patting his little head.
"Little guy, you helped me a lot."
Kyoooooo!
"Uh? You don't like that nickname?"
Kyo!
"Wait... are you a female?" Matthew suddenly had something strike his head.
Kyo! Kyo!
"Ohhh... that's why you didn't like that nickname. Then how about I call you... Uhh... Mhm..."
Kyoo?
"Lua, what about it?"
Kyoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
After hearing his words, Lua immediately started licking his cheeks, it seemed that she was very happy with the name.
Matthew chuckled in response as he held Lua in his arms.
"The only problem is... how do I explain this?" Matthew wondered.
He couldn't simply say that he made an attribute-mana circle with the help of a dragon, could he?
Kyo~~
Lua suddenly tapped his chest, and Matthew felt that his newly formed mana circle disappeared.
"You can hide it?"
Kyo!
"That's great! Also, can you just hide the ice attribute of the mana circle?" Matthew asked.
Kyo~ Kyo!
"Huff... great. If anyone knew that my 2nd mana circle had an attribute... I'm afraid that they would go crazy."
"Now... time to go to the library. Since I can't attend class for a week, I might as well learn mana control on my own."
Kyooooo!
"I meant, with Lua."
Kyo~~
With that in mind, Matthew left his dorm room with a small smile on his face, Lua had already hidden herself back into the ring.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
As he walked through the academy's hallways, a sudden loud scream resounded through his ears.
He turned his head and looked to his left where he saw the scene of Stacy being bullied by upper-class girls.
'Oh... Isn't this... the beginning of the "Stalker Act"?' Matthew wondered.
He still had read a few chapters after all, and from his memories, the "Stalker Act" was initiated when Stacy was bullied and some guy saved her.
'Mhm... If he saved her, he's probably one of the male leads, isn't he? What would happen if I ahem... step forward and... ahem.'
'I wonder what will happen with the plot... Kekeke~'
Without thinking about the consequences, Matthew was about to step forward, but then, a sudden pressure fell into his body.
'F-fuck... w-what is this!?'
[It's detected that the host is being attacked by the world's will.]
'W-what? Is it because I'm disturbing the "plot" of the world?'
[Blocking the world's will...]
[Ding! It's advised not to disturb the plot too much. If the user stops the appearance of one of the male leads, the world can be led into its destruction!]
'Uh? And why the fuck would I listen to you?'
'I was living a good life! And suddenly I woke up here! Do you think I care about the fate of this fucking world?!'
Now that Matthew could freely move his body, even with the system's warning, he didn't think twice.
"[Desperation]"
Swoosh!
THUD! THUD! THUD!
In just a matter of seconds, Matthew dealt with all the upper-class girls. Of course, he didn't hurt them and just knocked them out.
As for the reason Matthew was saving the protagonist?
Matthew didn't care about this world at all, so if he could ruin it, it didn't matter what he would do to cause that to happen.
You could call him a "villain" or something like that, but that's just the way Matthew acts.
They took his good life away from him, so in return, the destruction of the world should be a good gift, right?
"T-thank you..." He heard Stacy's voice.
He turned his head and took a deep look at her, her body was covered in his injuries, blood flowing out of them.
Her dress was torn and dirtied by the dirt and blood.
"Sigh..."
Matthew took a step forward to Stacy, which made her close her eyes in fear, but suddenly, she felt a warm embrace around her.
She opened her eyes and saw the face of Matthew going slightly up and down as he walked.
'H-he... he's carrying me?' Her face slowly got rosy.
Matthew completely ignored her and took her to the infirmary where coincidentally, there wasn't anyone there.
He laid her down on one of the beds and turned around to leave.
"W-wait! Don't l-leave yet!" She stammered, grabbing his jacket in panic.
"Oh, god damn it!" Matthew suddenly cursed.
He turned around and looked directly at Stacy.
"Listen, I helped you, so just leave me alone, alright!? I don't want to fucking deal with you or your fucking sweetheart."
"And don't even ask for the reason I helped you."
Slap!
He slapped her hand away and then left the infirmary.
[Ding! The user has successfully destroyed the opportunity of one of the male leads!]
'Oh, some good news at least.'
[Granting rewards!]
'Oh? Why am I receiving rewards?'
'Well, come to think of it, I don't know what kind of system I received, and didn't even ask for its functions...'
[Ding!
The user's #&$#?! was been increased by 5.92 points!
The user has received the Trait - [Mana Genius]...
]
Mana Genius - Grans the user the ability to easily comprehend anything related to the concept of "Mana".
"The fuck?"
"What kind of attribute did I increase?"
"Status!"

"Fuck! It still doesn't appear on my Status..."
"However, I definitely felt a strange energy entering my body... I can see it rolling around my mana circles..."
"And it seems... a bit evil..."
"However... Since I got rewards by disturbing the plot... Doesn't mean that I'll get even more rewards by doing so?"
"And what's the problem with my magic attribute? I'm already at the 2nd circle but I'm somehow weaker than some of my classmates!?"
"I guess I'll need to find some kind of treasure to help me increase my Magic... it's the most important attribute after all."
"But, now I know that my attribute is Ice."
"So, I guess I'll be studying Mana Control and Ice-based Spells..."
"Here we go!"
Matthew declared...
He wasn't a single bit excited about studying.
