Chereads / Witch of Darkness / Chapter 57 - Reincarnation

Chapter 57 - Reincarnation

As she smelled the faint scent that was emanating off her new teacher, Beatrice's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

After laying in the still somehow warm water of the bathtub for a few more moments, Beatrice suddenly got up, covered herself up with a towel and began walking towards her room, leaving her teacher to remain as the only person in the bathroom.

A few moments later, Selena took a single look towards Beatrice's room before disappearing from inside of the bathtub.

...

Putting on her robe, a thoughtful look couldn't help but appear on Beatrice's face, some thoughts were going through her mind at this moment.

But even so, Beatrice did not spend much time dressing up, walking up to the door of her room, opening it as she unconsciously bent her neck towards the left.

The moment Beatrice opened the door, a dark bolt suddenly flew past her and into her room.

If not for the fact that Beatrice had stretched out her head towards it's left side, the dark bolt would have probably hit her head on.

'The barrier would have probably held on, if just barely,' thought Beatrice as she turned her head towards her new teacher, who was standing right outside of her door.

"That's very good, not many apprentices could have managed to dodge that at point-blank range, now I only need to test your spell capabilities for a bit, as well as your mana," said Selena, looking at her disciple with a smile on her face.

Hearing her teacher's words, Beatrice's eyes couldn't help but widen once more.

Consciously or unconsciously, Selena did not mention anything about testing Beatrice's spiritual power, completely ignoring that aspect of her,

Of course, Beatrice had no interest in reminding her teacher about that, to be honest, Beatrice would have much rather preferred living alone and being able to conduct her experiments as she wished.

But sadly, Beatrice had no choice in this matter, as Beatrice only had three options.

Stay in the shadow academy and get found out that there was something wrong here.

Flee alone and then be brought back to the academy, probably by force, as her body probably had many trackers on it.

Or try to seek out the only powerful being that Beatrice knew would not bring her back to the academy, and could probably remove the trackers on her body.

At the same, from her past life, Beatrice knew that the Witch of Death had at least a slightly favorable impression of her, and as such, seeking her out was her only good option.

As she was still deep in thought, Beatrice followed her teacher, walking out of her room before walking through a corridor, the same corridor that she had arrived at her room through.

Right now, Beatrice did not go the way she came from, rather after walking only around fifty meters, both she and her teacher walked into a room.

'A spell testing room,' thought Beatrice as she looked at the walls of the room, as they were made of that same familiar metal used inside of the Shadow Monastery, Beatrice was able to recognize the use of the room immediately.

But even so, Beatrice felt like there was something completely different about this spell testing room compared with the testing room inside of the Shadow Monastery, even though they both looked visually identical.

"Now show me what kind of damage you can do, little girl," said Selena as she walked back towards the door of the room, leaving Beatrice in the middle.

Hearing the words of her teacher, a small dark bolt suddenly appeared in Beatrice's hands, before flying off into the wall in front of Beatrice at a high speed, smashing into it.

After firing the Dark Bolt, Beatrice couldn't help but slightly gaze at her teacher from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing the Witch behind her smiling, an inexplicable fear emerged in Beatrice, as a Dark Bolt suddenly appeared in her hands.

In merely a fraction of a moment later, the Dark Bolt flew towards the wall, as two sonic booms appeared behind it.

Of course, even though this attack was extremely powerful, as soon as the Dark Bolt touched the wall of the room, it inexplicably lost all of it's strength, shattering to pieces as it struck the wall.

Seeing this scene, an small smile appeared on Selena's face as she stared at Beatrice.

'Much better,' thought Selena as she looked at Beatrice, deciding not to push her new little disciple to reveal any more of her strength, feeling quite satisfied.

Suddenly, Beatrice felt like she was being peeped at, but before she could even raise her guard, that feeling disappeared from Beatrice's mind, leaving some confusion on her face.

...

In another location

[Warning! Warning! An unexpected change has occurred in target twelve]

Looking at the blue screen in front of him, a frown appeared on the face of a middle-aged man.

Although he was walking in the middle of a crowded street, nobody other than him seemed to be able to see the blue screen.

Suddenly, the warning on the blue screen suddenly disappeared.

[Calculating, Please Stand by]

Time continued to pass, as the middle-aged man continued to walk through the street, waiting for the Reincarnation Space to finish its calculations.

[Error, Insufficient Authority, Removing Target Twelve from Mission List]

Suddenly, the man frowned, using his mind to bring up another screen in front of his face.

"She's really gone," mumbled the middle-aged man as he stared at the Mission List, noticing that the previous target twelve had disappeared from there, causing the previous target thirteen to become target twelve.

'Say, system what would happen if I still go after her? Would I get any punishments?' thought the middle-aged man.

[Warning! Insufficient Authority, Accessing previous records]

After a few moments, this text disappeared, being replaced by something that made the blood of the middle-aged go cold.

[Going after a target not approved by the Reincarnation Space may have unintended consequences, including:]

[ Minor Injury, Major Injury, Death, Torture, Soul Corruption Soul Annihilation, [Redacted] as well as [Redacted] ]
