[Ace POV],
As I wandered through the woods in the dark, the only sound I could hear was the crunching of leaves underfoot.
Fortunately, I didn't have to look very far for a place where I could test the explosives in my hand.
One reason I didn't want the area where there were plants or wood is that they are flammable, and I also didn't want to deal with the stress of having to put out the flames because they weren't started by my fire element.
In case I had something resembling the explosives in my possession to test again, I also wanted to find a place where I could return.
The location I ultimately chose was a little ways away from the mansion, but it was the best location for me to conduct any type of explosive test. The open area I discovered was tucked away in a mountain range far from the bronze door and contained nothing but rocks. Since rocks are not flammable, there was nothing else here for me to harm or destroy besides the surroundings.
