The Former Witch Reincarnated as A Village Girl

21 Stories: Survival in dense forests

By the time the test had begun and thirty minutes later, Liika was still moving through the dense forest hiding in the shadows of the rocks.

I was just aiming for a goal without thinking about getting a bracelet so I wouldn't run into students as much as I could. But on the way, I didn't go inside thinking that I was going to encounter fights between students targeting high scores, or that I was going to be found by students targeting unintentional strikes, and eventually I was exhausted and sat in the shadows of the rocks.

"Ha... ha... No more, I'm tired..."

Lika sighed small, paying off the dirt attached to her own cream-colored hair as she shorted her breath. Weak no matter what time her faint expression increased, she stretched out her thin arm and raised her own flat hand to heaven. What a small, unreliable hand. Lika felt the subtlety.

In retrospect, I didn't make the most of what Shatia taught me. When a girl student attacked me, she just gave me a magic wave reflectively, and if I let the magic go right then, I could win. But Lika didn't have the courage to do it. She bit her little lip tight and pulled her legs in and let her face down.

That's when I heard footsteps from the side. Something seemed to be running, and a boy student appeared from between the trees before Lyka could hide. The child was also one of the students who abused Lyka.

"Whoa! Lyka? You still have the bracelet. Lucky."

"... Hih!

Reflectively Lika shook her shoulders and raised her voice as if surprised. The boy student opened his eyes to his surprise when he noticed that Lika was still in possession of the bracelet, but whistled thinking he was lucky.

The boy student comes close to Jirijiri. Lika lost her hips again and pulled back as she moved her legs with Yotayota.

"Ooh, if you don't want to hurt, give me your bracelet ASAP. I want to score first."

Apparently, he didn't mean to hurt Lika, and the boy student demanded a bracelet when he offered his hand. When she found out there was no hostility, Liika lowered her shoulder like a little relief.

You don't have to feel painful if you even give me your bracelet here. Boy students seem to be the most obsessed, so they'll miss out on themselves. With that in mind, Lika tried to give her the bracelet, but she reached for it.

"I... I, I... ugh"

Lika had her arms pulled in as if she were being manipulated by some other will. But by contrast, the arm I'm wearing the bracelet lifted so that I could hope to get it off quickly.

Why did you think of yourself? If you don't do this, just give it to me and the danger will leave. This is a safe way to keep yourself from hurting. Lika thinks so, but instinct denied it. If you keep giving me your bracelet, I'll be a real loser myself. You waste everything Shatia taught you, and you become a true corrupt man.

"What are you doing, man? Give it to me quickly."

The boy student was angry with Lika, who would not remove his bracelet for long, and tried to force him to walk over and take the bracelet away. But pay for the male student's outstretched arm, and Lika rebels against it. The boy student waved his fist at Ricca ramblingly, angry more and more. But suddenly, another intruder appeared from the side.

"Guh!!?

The male student was blown away by an intruder who suddenly appeared, and fell into abundance as he hit the trees. Lika looks up at the intruder as she suppresses her arm in pain. That was Leo with bossy blue hair. Cut his breath as he showed his pointy teeth, and he looked down about Lyka.

"Are you all right!? Lika!"

"... Leo, you!

Leo rang out like he was really worried about Lika. Lika was also anxious at first that Leo might be abused again because of his appearance, but she exhaled in relief because she seemed to have helped out of the situation. Leo approaches Liika to see if she's hurt.

"Damn, you can't do anything on your own. That's why you're always abused."

"Heh... oh, sorry"

Gently tongue-in-cheek and Leo said so scratching his hair. It didn't seem like it was frustrating, but it still looked like she had some kind of emotion for Liika's lack of power. I didn't know what that was. Lika apologized for now and bowed her head.

"Look, just get up. You still have the bracelet, don't you? Then we'll keep running to the goal."

That's what Leo said and reached out to Lika. Lika tried to grab that hand in confusion, but Leo suddenly blushed and pulled his hand in. He panics as soon as he realizes something. And I scratched my hair to regret my actions. Lika stood up with only her own strength for now, leaning her neck into that series of motions.

First of all, it seems Leo has nothing to do with himself. Judging by that, Lika decided to act with Leo. Looks like you'll stay with me to the goal, and if you stay by his side, you'll be safe. Lika finally loosened her cheeks like she was relieved. But as if to mock his happiness, a male student who had fallen behind Leo rose up.

"Leo Wow... what a falling ally you are!!

With a low voice calling Leo's name, the boy student bent his neck like crazy, waving his arms and unleashing magic. A spear constructed of water rises from the magic formation and jumps out of momentum. At the inch Leo appeared a magical shield, but it was an attack from close range, so the shield was breached and Leo was blown in recoil. I get caught by it and Lika gets flown back too.

"Gu...... damn! Was the blow sweet? Lika, you hide behind the rocks!!

"Wow, okay......!

Leo pulled Lirica's hand as he avoided the spear of the flying water, taking her into the shadow of the rock. And he gave instructions not to move on the spot, and Leo jumped out of the rock with momentum as he rolled the hem of his uniform. At the same time it forms a sphere of flame, grabbing it like a ball and throwing it at a boy student.

"Will the flame work on the water!!

The male student put a membrane of water around him and deactivated it, not to be afraid of the flaming sphere that flew in. Leo prepares a second ball of flame as soon as he hits his tongue. But now the water spear flew in before I threw it and wiped out its flaming sphere.

"Heh... fuck you!

"You're top graded if you're fire magic, but my specialty in magic is water magic. I'm sorry, but I'm no match for you!

That's what the boy student said with a mess and a creepy laugh, waving his arm again. Now a water spear emerges from the ground, one after the other its spear goes toward Leo. Leo jumped on the rock once he kicked the ground and did it over, but the water spear crushed the rock and Leo was blown away and rolled over the ground.

"Gu, ha...!

He was not fatally injured but still suffered a scratch from eating rock fragments. Leo coughed painfully and woke up quickly staring at the boy student.

Liika, who had been hidden by the destruction of the rock, could also be seen, and Leo stood forward to shelter her. Seeing it, the boy student had a nasty grin.

"Ahahahahaha, what a whim to help you fall"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Leo replied to the boy's student's words, distorting his expression in a bad way, and saw about Chilari and Lika. Lika also tilts her neck strangely because she doesn't know why Leo is helping her.

There was no way I could tell Shatia that I was willing to help Lika, and Leo scratched her hair to calm her frustration.

"Hmmm...... but it's tough, Leo has to fight while protecting Liica, but I'm easy for you to self-destruct me as long as I'm after Liica. I'm so lucky to get two bracelets with this!

The boy student said so with a niggling cloudy grin and waved his arms down. Now a magic formation emerges in the universe, from which a water spear emerges. As soon as I realized, Leo didn't use fire magic, but tried to prevent it with a magic shield. The sound of magic vegetables bumping, spears and shields bumping and roaring. Leo waved his arm at half the self-abandoning shit and struck down the spear with every shield.

"Ha... ha..."

"Mr. Leo......!

Though it was good to prevent the attack, Leo roughed his breath as he dropped his shoulders like he was tired. Apparently it has consumed a lot of magic now, and Lika tried to get close to him with an anxious look on her face. But I realized that I couldn't do anything where I went, and I immediately pulled the leg I was about to step out of.

"Sora, now I'm stuck!!

The boys declared so when they deepened their grin convinced of the victory, sticking their arms forward. Condensed water fluctuations pop out of it. Leo didn't use a magic shield this time, but responded to it with fire magic he was good at. Naturally it is incompatible with water and flames, and the flames unleashed by Leo are pushed more and more. Now I keep the momentum alone, but soon it will collapse, too.

"Guh! Ugh............!!

Still, Leo stepped desperately on his legs. He manages to push the compatibility wall into the mood alone and maintains equilibrium in critical places. But eventually the magic will run out and they will push. When the time comes, both Lirica and Leo will be defeated and both bracelets will be taken away.

Lika had an objective view of the sight of the two bumping into each other somewhere. How can I just be watching? Why not support Leo? With that in mind, Lika opened her eyes with patchouli.

"Leo you......!!

Lika stood up and squealed so forcefully as the shockwave was echoing around. You can't just protect it. I have to help. You have to do something with your own hands. Lika was half unconscious and raised her arms. magic there and create one magic. And as I swung my fist down to the ground, I activated the magic with the chant.

"Huh!? hey, what the heck......!!?

Suddenly, the ground between Leo and the boys students burst out and the walls of dirt popped out. The dirt wall blocked the flames and the water, and he swallowed him and hit the trees as he redirected and attacked the boys. The boy student, restrained by dirt and struck by a tree, shook his neck freaked out when he groaned, and passed out when he drifted like an exorcism.

"Ha... ha..."

"... Li, Lika... this dirt wall, you did it?

"... ugh, yeah. Once."

I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me, and Leo asked that out of breath, sweating massively from his forehead. Lika herself had no real sense of what she had been able to do so far, and nodded powerlessly as she stared at her trembling hands and replied. Leo then slowly stood up and opened his mouth as he placed his hand on Lika's shoulder, which was kneeling.

"Shh, that's awesome! You could have used magic so clever!? You... why don't you... no, it's good because you saved me anyway...!

That's what Leo said as excited. It was Lika, who stood ready to be angry for a moment, but when she heard Leo's words, she squeezed her eyes, blushing her cheeks like she was lit as soon as possible.

"Good...... anyway I'm just going to take his bracelet and go for the goal. I'm out of magic."

"Oh yeah...... yeah"

Suddenly Leo realized he was approaching Lika and turned to her in embarrassment with his hands off Ba. And when I approached a boy student who was being held in dirt by saying so to tease him, I removed the bracelet from his arm. And once he held it tight with his hand, he threw it toward Lika. Lika was surprised that she was suddenly thrown and rushed to take it with both hands.

"Eh... is that good?

"You bet. You're almost the one who did it. You have the right to put it on."

I didn't think they'd give it to me. That's what Lika asked Leo. Leo said so as illuminated as he rubbed his fingers under his nose, ceding his rights to Lika. But Lika herself didn't really think so. What I did was just a surprise at the end, and if Leo hadn't come, I would certainly have been robbed of my bracelet by now. So soon Lilica thought of returning her bracelet, but before that, Leo pounded Lilica's shoulder.

"Anyway... don't be surprised. Lika."

Nicole and a bright smile made Leo say that to Lika. Was that a compliment, or did you just give your thoughts because it was simply unexpected, but to Liika the words went through herself like a breeze and felt like something had fallen ston.

And Lika didn't say anything, just snorted in silence and put her bracelet on her own arm.

"Well, here's the thing..."

Shatia shrugs so as she grabs the bracelet of the male student she defeated now.

Now there are a total of seven bracelets. One later will be the limit, but honestly I was wondering if Shatia could score any more goals. This game is too advantageous, where battle prevails for me, who was a former witch. I decided it was better not to scratch the students any further.

Then Shatia went slowly toward the goal. I also encountered students targeting bracelets along the way, but in front of Shatia they were just like paper scraps. Undoubled as it was, Shatia arrived at the goal, clear and first place as the goal.

"Shatia, you are number one. Seven bracelets... medium grades."

Thank you, Dr. Laigis.

Near the gate, Dr. Laigis was waiting, he looked as tough as ever, and when he noticed that Shatia had scored the most goal, he stood praised him with that face. I'm not feeling complimented at all, but for now I'm going to say thank you, I bowed my head and thanked him, and Shatia took off her bracelet.

Then Shatia told me that I could go back to class now, but I decided to wait there because I was concerned about the exam until the end. Leaning on a pillar near the exit, he waited with Laigis to see who would go through the gate next. And the next one to come was just Lilica and Leo.

"Ha... ha... finally a goal! What do you say we take first place on the boulder?

"Leo, Lika, you're second in line. One or two bracelets... that's the point."

"Yeahhh!!?

Leo raised his roar and scored a goal as he shook his arms up, but he knelt on the spot tired knowing that he was not in first place. And next to it, Lika was moving her hand like she was in a panic, but when she realized that there was a chateau at the pillar, she let Leo go and headed that way.

"Shatia!

"Um, Lika. I'm with you, but I think you're going with the goal. And two bracelets... good luck."

Noticing that Lika was wearing two bracelets, Shatia laughed with real pleasure and stroked her head. Lika is happy to loosen her cheeks as well.

In fact, Shatia was quite surprised. I thought Leo would be able to score a goal if he went to help, but I didn't predict getting a bracelet. Delighted that he had betrayed his expectations in a good way, Shatia acknowledged Liika's strength.

Then a few minutes later, all the students had finally scored a goal, but many had lost their bracelets. After all, it looks like Shatia was slipping through, and there were some students who would sacrifice for that matter. Shatia didn't care, but Lika, who got one bracelet, looked complicated.

"So this is the end of the exam! Those who did not possess one bracelet will be tested at a later date. Be prepared!!

At the end of the day, when he slapped the bread and hands, Raegis erased the dense woods that had unfolded in the venue, telling that to the students who did not possess the bracelet. The students blued their faces and dropped their shoulders heavily to the point of being truly dropped to the bottom of despair.

Shatia looked at it with a laugh as she was amused, leaving the venue behind with the Likas.
