Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

Ryfin closed his eyes and chanted an incantation; it was a long one and even at this level, it took him five seconds to complete it.

Once done, he bent his knee and smacked the ground with his right palm.

A big magic circle opened with Ryfin's palm at its epicenter. It was filled with runes and it expanded until both Ryfin and that man were within its reach.

Ryfin stood up and clapped his hands together, and a pillar of light was shot up from the magic circle. The pillar of light closed inward and when it disappeared neither Ryfin nor the man were there. The big ball of energy was vanished as well.

***

Somewhere far away from the Zaforths magic academy, in the sea was an island. It was the same island where the student's practical exam had been conducted.

But now it was quiet, however that quiet was soon to be disrupted.

Two men appeared at the center of the island, one was holding an enormous ball of energy before his mouth. He was about done charging it up with mana by now and was ready to launch it whenever.

Ryfin on the other hand took out his sword and held it toward the man. There was something different about his sword. From the hilt to the blade, the sword was made with red. However, it was not paint. But the metal it was forged from was red itself.

'Should I use magiken?' Ryfin thought as he looked at the man and calculated the odds of this fight.

'Nah, it's not worth it.'

The man or the other hand took action. He faced Ryfin and launched the enormous ball of energy toward him.

As the ball of energy moved forward it destroyed the ground beneath itself. All the trees, rocks, and dirt were burned away and turned to ashes.

Ryfin raised his sword as the ball of energy rushed toward him. There was a smile toward him as he held his sword and prepared to slash.

There was an explosion, one that could be seen from miles away. A shock wave was released that affected the entire island. The trees that were closed to the explosion evaporated and turned into steam, and the ones that were far away broke due to the shock wave's impact.

For a few seconds the entire island was shaking abruptly and was covered in a bright flash.

When the light disappeared, what came into view was not an island but just a few miles of land. Only one fourth of the island was left, everything other than that was instatly reduced to atoms due to the explosion.

Since the land had vanished, the sea water invaded the empty space and huge tides that later took the shape of tsunamis were formed. They hit the remaining of the island, sending the water droplets flying in the sky.

When the droplets rained down it looked as if it were raining.

The man who'd blasted the attack was still on the land and was looking for Ryfin, but he was nowhere to be found.

"My, my, you took down almost all of the island," the man turned behind, following the direction where the voice came from.

There he saw Ryfin, standing unscathed. There was a prism of translucent energy around him which mostly likely was a barrier.

"It would have been a disaster if I that happened at the academy," he said.

"You piece of shit! How the hell did you survived that?" the man asked in a wild voice.

"Hmm? That's pretty easy, a shame that you couldn't figure it out by ourselves. I created a personal barrier to keep myself from taking any damage and then dashed through that ball of energy to get behind you. So that I won't fall in the sea when the land will vanish," Ryfin explained as he swung his sword around in his hand.

"Impossible! No one can counter that explosion!" the man screamed.

"I'm sorry but I just did that," Ryfin remarked. "Anyway, enough playing around. It's time I get rid of you."

"As if I'm just gonna let you—"

There was a flash light, a trail of red that moved toward the man and passed him. Blood dripped from the man's mouth and he was stopped mid sentence.

He looked down, and saw Ryfin standing close to him. He looked at his sword and his eyes followed its blade. Soon he realized that the sword was drilled right at the center of his chest.

"There goes your core," Ryfin said and pulled out the sword.

As if all the life had been sucked out of him, the man fell limp on his knees. His horn and the lines emerging from it lost their light and turned white. The man lost his life.

Ryfin wiped the blood on his sword and then put it back in its sheath. Then he bent his knees and sat down, he inserted his hand inside the hole in the man's chest. After fiddeling around for a bit he pulled out an orb covered in blood.

However, it was already broken. And as soon he grabbed it in his hand the orb crumbled into pieces.

"Tch. Still no good, huh?" Ryfin mumbled with a disappointed look on his face as he closed his palm into a fist.

A magic circle opened on the grounds of the academy and with a pillar of light Ryfin appeared there.

"Fancy seeing you here," he said as walked forward.

In front of him stood a woman and from the looks of it, it seemed like she was waiting for him there.

Long blonde hair and light violet eyes, she was dressed in a beautiful black dress and a cloak. She was none other than Auciel Skystav; class 1A's homeroom teacher. (A/N: Character art in paragraph comments.)

"Well, someone should be there to handle things if you weren't enough to stop them," she said.

"Hah, that's a good joke. I will die before ever losing to likes to them," Ryfin replied.

"I'm afraid I can't argue on that," Auciel said and both of them walked side by side.
