“Used her hand instead of a wand for magic!”
“Unbelievable!”
The relayed fact from one person’s mouth to another invoked astonishment.
“How can one perform magic without a wand, and with just their hands?”
“This, this is really, what only the ancient sorcerers were capable of, the ones we’ve only read about in books…!”
The murmurs of the people grew louder. A sense of something she shouldn’t have done flickered across Ivonne’s face. While she had hastily used magic to protect herself from the rapier, it shouldn’t have been done.
There were few who could extract the magic within their bodies without a suitable conduit and cast complex spells using only their hands. In this world, such individuals were not simply referred to as “sorcerers” but as “ancient sorcerers.”
‘I never meant for this to be revealed!’
In truth, it wouldn’t have mattered much even if it were known, but if it did, her peaceful everyday life would crumble. The maximum disturbance she could handle was being known as the “the first commoner who received a perfect score.”
She wanted to avoid getting involved with politics or being used as a political tool, losing her freedom.
‘This world has a strict system of magic restrictions, after all.’
Above all, if it were to be revealed that Ivonne, who was thought to be just “decent at magic,” was actually an “ancient sorceress,” it was uncertain how Blitzen would react.
‘He might try to reconcile with various excuses and pretexts.’
The freedom of a mere commoner, Ivonne in the Sortenic Empire was not highly valued.
While Ivonne was contemplating these thoughts, the clamor of the people continued to escalate. However, even this didn’t bother Ivonne.
‘This is my first time using time-based magic…’
In an instant, with a mere wave of her hand, she cleaved the clouds with a pillar of light. How incredible would it be to wield magic with determination alone?
Ivonne took a moment to gauge the scale of the murmuring crowd. Then, with a snap of her fingers.
“What? Huhhh…”
“I… I’m… what am I doing here right now?”
“Oh, hello there! Long time no see!”
People completely forgot the recent events and returned to their usual selves. No, it was as if time had rewound itself; those who had fallen were now quickly standing up, and the injuries of the children who had been hurt were miraculously healed. It was truly a power that rivaled that of the gods.
And Ivonne disappeared.
She had used a teleportation spell along with reversing time for the people, returning to the Tens Manor.
“Haa…”
Using such powerful magic, which was nothing short of defying the laws of nature, for the first time, it caused her a headache. It felt as if she had been running for a long time, gasping for air, her side about to tear. If she hadn’t regained her health over the past few months, her life could have been in danger.
“Phew…”
Aside from that, Ivonne keenly felt the power of the ‘female lead.’
‘It’s incredible, truly…’
It was a power strong enough to make her tongue twist. Calling her an overpowered or a protagonist buff seemed like understatements for this kind of power.
‘…I guess I worried for nothing about the breakup.’
It occurred to her belatedly, but seeing her wobbling legs, it seemed like a good idea not to use magic carelessly in Ulfest County. Ivonne wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and mumbled to herself.
“I was about to go buy some bread… Oh well, there’s no choice. I’ll have to go again later.”
It was much better to purchase some slightly stale bread than to risk it all. Caught by the fact that the maid who received a perfect score was actually an ancient sorceress, and fearing that she might be bound by magical restrictions and have her peace taken away.
As Ivonne returned, the fox, who had thought she would be back late in the evening, rushed out with a surprised yet delighted expression to greet her.
“Hehe, were you waiting for me?”
Ivonne opened her arms with a smile, and the fox leaped into them as if it had been waiting for her.
“Aww, you’re so soft.”
Exhaling a breath mixed with a sense of relief, Ivonne repeatedly kissed the fox’s tiny cheeks and muzzle. Each time she did so, the fox’s tail would go poof! poof! and became even thicker, but it didn’t run away in the end.
When the fox didn’t run away, she tried to let it go, but this time, the fox instead dug its claws into her clothes. Ivonne chuckled and hugged the fox.
“Our fox is such a mischievous one.”
Even after Ivonne settled on the sofa, the fox didn’t leave her side. It was as if it was asking why she had come back so early. Was it because of its striking purple eyes? Without realizing it, Ivonne found herself opening her mouth.
“I saw Blitzen while I was out today… She was with Lady Cyand.”
“…”
“I was actually trying to avoid them, but I realized that it’s not me who needs to hide and evade, but them. Moreover, they… well, not exactly to me, but anyway, Lady Cyand was wearing the necklace that Blitzen had given me. And there was also that incident where she openly ignored and insulted me. So I didn’t hold back and confronted her, and then Blitzen attacked me.”
Ivonne spoke calmly, but the fox’s eyes sharpened without mercy.
Unfortunately, lost in thought, Ivonne didn’t notice it that day.
