I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

[Samael Ashwood's POV]

"WHO DARE TO HARM MY SON SO DESPICABLY!!!"

The booming voice reverberated throughout the arena, shaking the very air with its intensity.

"This voice belongs to the head instructor, but why is he screaming so loudly? I almost thought—"

I didn't have time to finish my thought before a flurry of movement caught my eye. People around us were frozen in place, their attention drawn to the source of the booming voice. The arena, which had just moments ago been buzzing with excitement from the battles, now felt heavy, as if the fury behind the words weighed down the very air.

Eveline grabbed my arm, her playful demeanour vanishing in an instant. "Samael, something's not right."

"Let's check with others first," I said leading to part of the arena where Liliana, Sionna, Raven, and Lily were supposed to be seated but the entire area was packed with participants whispering and gasping.

My dragon heart started to beat with a growing sense of urgency. Something was definitely off, and the collective tension in the arena was palpable. I quickened my pace, pushing through the gathered crowd with Eveline following closely behind.

As we approached the section where Liliana, Sionna, Raven, and Lily were supposed to be seated, what I saw filled my entire being with rage.

The sight before me ignited a storm of fury deep within. Lily, feet dangling in the air, was held by her throat, struggling for breath. My heart pounded as I saw the panic in her eyes, her hands weakly clawing at the invisible force holding her up.

Worse yet, Liliana, Sionna, and Raven were submerged in the ground, their bodies trapped below, with only their heads sticking out. Their faces were filled with fear and desperation as they pleaded with the head instructor, who stood nearby, seemingly in control of whatever was happening.

"Samael!" Liliana's voice trembled as she called out to me, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and relief. "Help us… please!"

The head instructor, the one who had screamed earlier, now wore a cold expression, his fury palpable as his gaze swept over my friends. His powerful aura crackled in the air, causing the ground beneath us to tremble.

My body reacted before my mind fully processed the situation. Power surged through me—my dragon heart roared with rage. Without hesitation, I stepped forward, eyes narrowing as I focused on Lily and my family.

"Release them. Now," I demanded, my voice ice-cold, barely masking the rage bubbling beneath the surface.

The head instructor's eyes flicked toward me, his expression hardening. "And who are you to give me orders, boy? You should be asking yourself what consequences befall those who dare harm my son."

I clenched my fists, feeling the flow of magic intensifying within me. "If you think I'll let you hurt my family without retaliation, you're sorely mistaken."

Eveline stood beside me, her stance ready. "This is going too far. Whatever grievance you have, this isn't the way to resolve it."

The head instructor sneered, tightening his grip on the magic holding Lily. Her face turned paler as she gasped for air, her body struggling.

"You think you're in a position to negotiate?" His voice dripped with menace. "One of you is responsible for my son's injury, and I will find out who it is—one way or another."

His power flared, but I wasn't going to let him get away with this.

"Lightning Magic: Thunderclap and Flash; Godspeed!"

The whole world went still, time slowing as I unleashed the power coursing through me. My senses sharpened, and every heartbeat resonated with the storm within. The air crackled with energy as I surged forward, the tension around me tightening like a coiled spring ready to snap.

With a single thought, I propelled myself forward, my katana gleaming as I unsheathed it. My movements blurred, the world around me fading into a kaleidoscope of colours and sounds. All I could focus on was the head instructor, standing imperiously, oblivious to the approaching storm.

"Godspeed!" I roared, channelling the full might of my magic.

In an instant, I was upon him, my blade glinting with the intensity of lightning. I swung, aiming not just for a strike, but to sever the bonds of magic holding Lily and my friends captive. As the katana swept through the air, it left a shimmering trail behind, a testament to the speed and ferocity of my strike.

"NO!" The head instructor's eyes widened in shock, realization dawning too late.

The blade connected with the shimmering barrier he had erected. Instead of meeting resistance, the barrier shattered like glass, splintering into countless shards that sparkled in the dim light of the arena. The shockwave of my attack knocked the head instructor back, his grip faltering.

Lily fell to the ground, gasping for breath, while Liliana, Sionna, and Raven were freed from the earth's hold, stumbling as they regained their footing. I felt a surge of relief wash over me, but I couldn't lose focus now.

"Girls! Gather around and stay there," I ordered the girls while my eyes kept on the head instructor, who was now staggering back, fury etched across his face. His aura flared with renewed intensity, crackling with violent energy as he regained his composure.

"You dare to challenge me, boy?" he spat, his voice laced with malice. "You will pay dearly for this insolence!"

But I ignored his words and saw girls gathered around each other as I said, "Nyxara, stay with them." A small black panther cub materialised on my shoulder which jumped and stood beside Liliana.

"Space Magic: Endless Void~"

A dark tear-shaped rift opened and slowly enveloped the girls in a protective bubble of shadowy energy.

Only then did I release a sign of relief as now they are truly safe. The bubble shimmered softly, a protective barrier against the chaos erupting outside. I focused my attention back on the head instructor, who was visibly seething with rage.

"You think your tricks will save you?" he bellowed, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade. "You're just a child playing at magic, and I will show you what true power is."

With a flick of his wrist, a chunk of earth rose from the ground, twisting into jagged shards of stone that floated ominously around him. The air thickened with anticipation as the arena trembled beneath our feet, the force of his anger palpable.

"Do you really think you can intimidate me?" I challenged, my heart pounding in my chest, but I forced myself to hold steady. "You've already shown your weakness by harming those I care about."

With a fierce determination, I drew on the magic surging within me, allowing my dragon heart to merge with my essence. "I am not just some reckless child. I am Samael Ashwood, and you will regret underestimating me."

The head instructor's face twisted into a sneer as he launched the shards of stone at me with a flick of his fingers. "Then let's see how long you last!"

"Lightning Magic: Storm's Wrath!" I shouted, summoning the power of the storm that raged within me. Tendrils of electricity snaked around my arms, coalescing into a shield just as the shards hurtled toward me.

The moment they collided, a brilliant flash of light erupted, momentarily blinding the audience as the thunder roared like a dragon's growl. I stood firm, the lightning absorbing the impact, dissipating the shards into harmless fragments that scattered harmlessly across the arena floor.

"You have a bit of strength," the head instructor admitted, surprise flickering in his eyes, but his malice remained unwavering. "But let's see how you handle this!"

He stomped his foot down, and the ground erupted beneath me, fissures opening wide and reaching toward me like hungry jaws.

"Damn it!" I swore, leaping aside just as the ground cracked and buckled, narrowly avoiding being swallowed whole. The sheer force of his attack sent dust and debris flying into the air, obscuring my vision.

I could hear the gasps and whispers of the spectators around us, their fear evident as they backed away, sensing the danger escalating between us. But I couldn't let fear distract me. My family needed me; Lily, Liliana, Sionna, and Raven were counting on me to protect them.

"Dual Magic: Nature's Storm!"

Both Nature and Lightning affinity blended forming a storm of elemental fury that raged to life around me. Vines erupted from the ground, intertwining with bolts of electricity, creating a swirling tempest of power that surged toward the head instructor.

"Nature's Storm!" I cried, channelling the combined magic, forcing it to expand outward. The arena trembled under the force of my magic, vines twisting and arching toward the instructor, crackling with electricity as they sought to ensnare him.

"Fool!" he roared, raising his hands in a desperate attempt to counter my attack. A wall of earth surged to life, rising to shield him from the tempest. But my magic had become a living entity, relentlessly battering against his defences, vines snapping against the stone wall as arcs of lightning forked through the air.

"You can't hide behind your walls forever!" I shouted, pushing harder, drawing upon every ounce of strength and magic I possessed. The storm raged on, swirling with a furious energy that illuminated the arena in flashes of brilliant light.

The head instructor's expression darkened as he realized the futility of his defence. With a growl of frustration, he tore down his makeshift barrier, revealing himself to my onslaught. "You think you can defeat me? I am the head instructor of Merlin's Academy.

"And no one gives any fu*k about your title when you threaten my family!" I shouted, channelling my fury into the storm swirling around me. The tempest of Nature and Lightning magic swirled, feeding off my determination and the bond I shared with those I was fighting to protect.

"Lightning Magic: Divine Wrath!"

A bolt of pure lightning shot from the storm, aimed directly at the head instructor. He raised his hands, attempting to deflect the attack, but the sheer force of my magic shattered his attempts. The bolt struck him squarely in the chest, sending him sprawling backwards, crashing into the ground with a thunderous thud.

The audience gasped, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief. I could see the fear creeping into the faces of the academy's upper echelons—those who had once seen me as nothing more than a noble's son, now realizing the power I wielded.

I seized the moment, launching myself toward him, adrenaline coursing through my veins. The arena's dust settled around me as I reached the instructor, who was struggling to rise, shock written across his face.

"You're nothing but a bully hiding behind your title," I said, my voice low and fierce. "You wield power to instil fear, but now you know what it feels like to be truly challenged."

With a swift motion, I brought my sword down, the blade glowing with remnants of lightning magic. He barely managed to roll away, the blade slicing through the air where he had just been.

"This isn't over, Samael Ashwood!" he spat, scrambling to his feet, his anger igniting the air around us. "You will pay for this!"

"ENOUGH!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?"
