She quickly went to her room to wash the dried blood from her arm and her blade after sterilizing it.
Viola was fast asleep in her room while Leon is already finished with his physical training. He was angry at her but didn't say otherwise especially after sensing her weak magical power.
She smiled at her earlier achievement but she wouldn't dare discuss this with anyone. Even though it is something to applaud about, it is alarming for a first year to do a blood ritual even if it is to create her own magic circle.
Aron made it look so easy. she smirked.
In the story, it is noted that Aron is a prodigy with magic circles because it takes a lot of magic to even make one. He conjure simple to complex ones easily without a second thought or issue but the moment he created his very own circle, his strength increased tremendously. He was known as the Ring Mage despite being more skilled in swordsmanship. Some of the greatest mages have their own magic circle and it is impossible to have one unless you are innately talented and powerful thus it is seen as a pinnacle of magic. Thankfully, Amy already has tremendous amounts of it to create her own but not enough to teleport with it.
In the story, verbal spells are separated into three categories; Silvia, Infernus, and Jophiel. The language of spirits, demons and angels. It is said that any word spoken from their mouths itself have power and cannot be heard by human ears. A word is a spell. A sentence is a ritual.
She changed into her nightwear and went to her desk. She looked into her secret box where she saw that the marble is low on power and refilled it although admits that the ritual had already drained much of it out of her already. Over the years, her little pet projects wanted more magic to consume. Amy isn't worried about that but more of what to do with them. These three little things lived this long without being caught and she still doesn't know what to do with them.
"You are supposed to be there for me when I need you but when will that day come?" she whispered and after filling up the energy in the marble, she puts it away. She looked around to see a beetle in the corner. After a closer look, she could see it is a roach. Amy stared at it and frown. This dorm is extremely protected. Not even a bug could come in. It means-
"EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!" The sound of screams are from a large number of people. It isn't just the girls but the guys too. It looks like those two are behind this.
"I knew it." she mumbled. Amy looked at the roach again and it started twitching until it transformed into a small vial filled with something.
Her construction/deconstruction ability has a powerful variant but it is irreversible. By turning a cockroach's biology with its existing matter, mass and volume, she turns it into the vial. In a sense, it is similar to Rufus but unlike him, she doesn't have the same sense of morality as him.
She got off her seat to grab the vial and opened it to see it is an ingredient she just wanted to get. Thank god for this power! She can have some of her ingredients this way without needing to steal or buy any.
She puts the vial away and heads to out the hall where the all hell broke loose. There are some of the nobles children still screaming and spells are cast everywhere. She first head to Viola's room and saw a roach in the middle of the floor and Viola is hanging on to dear life on top of her bed. There is a dark spot on the floor where the roach was standing before Viola vaporized it with her power.
Upon seeing her sister, Viola ran towards Amy with tears in her eyes and hugged her sister while still shaking from fear.
"What's going on?! What's with the roaches? This is definitely one of Leon's tricks, isn't it?" she cried.
Amy pats her head. "Most likely."
Viola calmed down afterwards.
"I'll take care of the rest." Amy said and left the room while she takes care of the problem. Viola followed behind her out of curiosity.

"HAHAHA!!!" Leon hysterically laughed while he was outside in the training grounds with Rufus watching over him listening the the cries and screams.
"You know... one of these days, this will bite you back far worse." Rufus says with a sigh.
"From who? Kitty? Nate?"
"Everyone!" he incredulously answered. "I can't believe you made me use all the roaches I collected for the past couple of years for a prank."
"It's getting boring!" Leon moaned. "I thought it would be nice if we-"
Then he stopped and turn in the dorm's direction. There was an illuminating light from all the windows.
Leon curiously looked at Rufus. "What's wrong?"
"They're gone." he answered. "Our dorm is already emptied out completely of roaches. Team Moon and Comet are also catching up."
"Already?" He then pouted. "That's no fun. It barely even started."
"But it will be wise not to announce yourself as the prankster. The whole academy will literally want to kill you even if you are a prince."
"Alright, alright!" Leon waved his hand playfully.

Amy sat at the lounge where everyone is at. As if she didn't consume too much of her magic enough, she had to exterminate all the roaches in the entire building.
"Your magic weakened so much." Melissa commented. "It is a lot of bugs but still, what kind of spells did you use?" she asked after touching her hand. It is warm to the touch. Melissa is the only other girl in the building who is fearless.
"I used a purification spell."
"It took a lot out of you. You should've let me do it." Viola said.
Amy shook her head. "There are people here. I don't want them to get hurt."
Viola nodded. People believed that Viola has the stronger purification power but weaker control while Amy had the opposite.
Amy was dizzy. Oh boy, that took a lot out of her. She then collapsed in her seat with Viola holding on to her head.
"Amy!"
"Oh damn! Amaryllis!" Nathaniel yelled.
Just in time, Leon and Rufus walked in and saw a stampede of kids carrying Amy.
"Hey, what's going on?" Rufus said.
Melissa stopped in front of them. "She used her power to get rid of the roaches and now she's fainted." She then went on to follow them but not before looking back.
"This is your doing, right?"
Both didn't respond. The lack of an answer is enough of an answer for her.
Instead of berating them, she ran to follow the crowd of people.
