I Reincarnated as a Bad Girl

Chapter 3. Dangerous Forests

Previous Story:

There was a conflict between Vivian and Marquis Zent. Marquis Zent also increasingly hated Vivian. Then Eva and Denis also argue so that their relationship is increasingly tenuous.

***

Ever since the events at the crown prince's birthday party, I've always pondered. How am I supposed to deal with Denis when I meet him at the academy?

"Ah whatever.." I muttered lazily for thinking too much. I'll let things happen as usual. Besides, I just need to think that I want to meet the crown prince. I just wish I wouldn't meet him. I don't want to see him at all.

The next day, I faced the day as usual. I returned to the academy after saying goodbye to my parents. My parents also decided to return to their old mansion.

Then I also heard the wind as I passed by the servants and the people that there were magical beasts rampaging near the settlement of the citizens in the western forest. Rumor has it that it was a level 6 magic beast as it spewed out an entire forest. I don't pay much attention to the news. But a magical beast...I only met magic beasts while I was at that camp.

When I returned to the academy, I spent most of my time in the library. Because we have to finish the assignment from Wilson's teacher in a week.

I was currently focusing on staring at the elemental papers in front of me. I was a bit afraid to use magic other than fire and water, because I was afraid to be seen by others while practicing. But I couldn't help my curiosity to try it. Or did I just go back to the mansion and try it there? But I'm afraid that the 'golem' happened again because I did a magic experiment. I'm afraid I'm gonna destroy my house again.

I was thinking of finding a quiet place and practicing magic. But where? This library is a quiet and quiet place, but it is impossible to conduct magic experiments here.

Uh! I'm really stupid! Didn't I hear the rumors about the magicians. I can practice in the woods, right? I can hunt low-level magical beasts! It happens if I find those magical beasts!

"Western forest yes.." I murmured doubtfully. "I hope that level 6 magic beast has already left the forest..."

Even if that level 6 magic beast is still around, I brought a magic tool to escape. So that I can escape in times of emergency.

I also came out of the library, using flying magic towards the western forest. To be honest, I've never been to this forest.

The capital is surrounded by four forests in the direction of the winds. There are forests west, east, south and north. The capital city gate is to the north. So the forest I crossed by train that time while heading for the capital was the Northern Forest. More precisely, Duke Court's territory was in the Northern part of the Kingdom.

Western forests are forests that are very close to people's agriculture. The forest nearest to the capital. It only takes a few minutes to get there using magic. The forest was quite small as it was cut off by road access. It could be said that the western forest was completely harmless. There were only a few types of low-level magical beasts there. That was why, the citizens were a bit shocked when that level 6 magic beast appeared and destroyed the forest. They were afraid that the beast would destroy their farms and houses.

I glanced at the western forest below me. This forest is quite lush and borders with several hectares of plantations and rice fields. I flew forward into the middle of the forest. And I saw the chaos caused by that magical beast. It's pretty fucked up. Almost the entire forest was destroyed. Broken trees and hollow, cracked soil.

SHUU! I'm starting to get down.

'Why did the magical beast rampage?' I still think when I look around. And the king should have sent some men to stand guard in this place, right? But I did not see a single bodyguard or royal soldier. Did the King underestimate the magical beast too much? Or that magical beast is nomadic and has already moved to another forest?

"But this place is a great fit"

I looked around this ruined place. It is ideal for practicing magic. I don't have to worry about property destruction.

I took out the six papers from the dimensional space and placed them lined up in front of me. Actually casting an advanced spell using this paper was somewhat more difficult than the usual way. Because the paper of this element is unbalanced.

I took out the fire element paper and started circulating the mana on the paper. I want to use fire magic "burst". In an instant the element paper was already surrounded in red mana. I threw the paper forward and BOOOMM! Fire magic exploded and started burning the surrounding area.

"It's pretty easy" I said dismissively.

I'm not arrogant enough okay. The training Robert and Dean Cristal gave us was harder than this. Even I had to get my mind out for days to master a single spell.

After trying fire magic, I started trying other magic. And I can hear BOOM! BRAKK! all around me that signifies that my follow-up spell is working.

The forest is so fucked. The more Eva plays around with her magic there. The place was more chaotic than usual. More and more ground cracks and tree fragments were scattered everywhere.

Then, the rest of the one magic I haven't used yet. It's dark magic. I actually wanted to use safe advanced spells like aura and the others. But I was wondering if I could open that black hole with this element paper. Although it has been commemorated many times not to use and practice black hole magic. I still don't care. I practiced the magic secretly without Robert's knowledge. Well, but I only practiced stealth and didn't dare to show it to others.

Although I was always curious and excited, I should be able to sort out the things that were harmful and the ones that were not.

I stared at the dark-colored element paper in front of me. I hesitate to practice my dark magic. But I want to. After a long time of thinking, I decided to play it safe. I guess I will use a harmless magic spell to practice.

I glanced around me, noticing that there was no one near me. I also used a detection spell just in case. And I don't feel anyone. I guess I'm safe for now.

When I started using it.

ZOOMS! A black aura came out from my body. It's breathtaking....

But is there something strange? Why does this aura keep on expanding?

A dark aura came out from my body and continued to widen enveloping the forest. I feel bad feelings. Isn't this a bit dangerous?

So I quickly canceled the magic spell. If this aura continues to spread, won't my existence be known?

According to the description in the book, the aura that appeared only surrounded the body. But why is my aura spreading like that?

Note: Eva does not know that she has a large mana capacity. The magnitude of the range of the aura used depends on how much capacity the magician. Due to Eva's large mana capacity, she could envelop the entire forest with her dark aura.

I think today is enough. I've practiced a few and it's not hard. I could pass the exam from teacher Wilson easily.

As I was about to leave the forest, I sensed that there were many people heading here. Those people were detected by the detection magic I spread around the forest.

Weirdo? Why are these people here?

I tried to hide my aura and hide in the nearby bushes.

Then I saw some villagers coming in with guns.

"Oh God!! How could this place be even more ruined!"

"It's just fine to hear the sound of an explosion!"

"Did the magical beast come again?"

"How's this? We've reported to the kingdom, but there's no response yet..."

"..."

I sat in the bushes listening to their words.

"Where is the magical beast?"

"This is weird? Why would he just destroy this area?"

"Maybe he hates her?"

"Kasian.This forest is completely innocent...I was concerned to see the trees that had been smashed into pieces...Can still be used to make furniture"

My face was red with embarrassment. I caused the destruction because I was practicing. But this forest is already destroyed. I also did not know that the magic I was throwing recklessly was actually heard all the way to the residential area.

"Haa~" I sighed tiredly.

"It looks like I should go back to the dorm."

If I stay here, I'll be found by the residents. I wouldn't know what happened if it was found out that I was the culprit.

So I slowly began to circulate mana and fly. It is better to fly as fast as possible so as not to leave a trace.

Even until now the residents did not know that the destroyed western forest was caused by two humans. The king also could not handle it because the destruction was caused by his son, and he preferred to keep his mouth shut about the existence of the rumor.

Since that incident, the western forest known as the safest and friendliest forest has been increasingly shunned. Everyone assumed that there was a mysterious magic beast that was there and hiding. The magical beast could rampage whenever he wanted. Then the western forest got a new nickname as a "dangerous forest" and is now very avoided to visit.
