My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 9 The shadow of the past follows

After telling the truth about what had just happened, Kalia fell into a long silence.

She sat on the floor with her knees bent, her hands around her knees and her head buried.

Roland wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he didn't open his mouth. He just went to the second floor to get a thick blanket and put it on Kalia.

"Rest first, there's an empty bed on the second floor."

"No, I'm afraid... I'm afraid what just happened will happen again." Kalia shook her head and refused: "For safety's sake, I'd better sleep here."

"Don't talk nonsense. I asked you to go to the second floor just for your safety."

Roland said unhappily, "If you sleep on the first floor, I'll have to jump out the window and run if something happens. Also, there are some protective formations and inscriptions set up by my father on the second floor. If something happens, they'll sound an alarm and hold out for a while, making it easier for me to escape."

"Go upstairs and rest now. If you want to take a shower, there's a bathroom on the second floor. But you'll have to change your clothes yourself. I don't have any women's clothing at home."

"Oh..." Facing the obviously angry Roland, Kalia nodded timidly, and walked up the stairs holding her staff and the pendant wrapped in Roland's cloak.

Roland also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Because of this incident, he was afraid that he would not be able to rest peacefully tonight.

He could just spend the night in the recliner. Although his sleep would be uneasily, he really didn't need a very comfortable sleep tonight.

Kalia came to the second floor and walked into the room whose door Roland had opened in advance.

The furnishings in the room were simple. There was a wooden table in front of the window, which was filled with various books on magical engineering and some books on spellcasting theory. Next to the table was a large bookshelf filled with various books.

From professional academic books to books recording the history of various countries on the mainland, and even quite a few novels.

On the wooden table was a notebook, which recorded some knowledge points that Roland had read from the book.

Next to the wooden table and bookshelf is a large bed that looks very soft and comfortable.

The quilt on the bed is rather messy, and it can be seen that its owner does not like to fold the quilt, but the room as a whole is kept relatively clean.

"It seems that the stories in those vernacular novels aren't all true. Who says boys' rooms are always dirty? This one is quite clean."

Kalia put away her staff. Her innate spells were still quite useful.

At least putting something there is no problem.

After placing the wrapped pendant on the chair in front of the table, Kalia began to take out a change of clothes from her shadow.

"Fortunately I brought enough clothes."

"and many more!"

Kalia realized belatedly that she was now in a room with a member of the opposite sex.

And she actually planned to lie down on the bed after taking a shower!

The clothes that Kalia had just taken out were put back silently by her.

Then, she silently helped Roland fold the quilt, closed the open notebook, and put the pendant package on the chair to the corner of the table.

Then she took out the blanket Roland had given her and covered herself with it, preparing to spend the night lying on the table.

It just so happened that she didn't dare to sleep too deeply.

I didn’t expect... this situation, which hasn’t happened in so many years, happened today.

Kalia, who was leaning on the table with her arms as a pillow, pursed her lips.

She is a witch, but her situation is quite special even among the already rare group of witches.

Generally speaking, a witch's ability awakens on her sixteenth birthday, because at that time the special structure of the witch's body will reach a balance value.

At that time, the witch could perfectly control her innate spells that were born from the special source in her body.

It was as if the Creator had deliberately set up a safety precaution when creating witches, an alien species among humans.

To prevent their innate spells from getting out of control and causing disaster.

Unfortunately, Kalia's safety device failed, and her powers awakened when she was born and cried for the first time.

The runaway magic destroyed her hometown, killed her parents, and plunged half of the territory into eternal night and nightmare.

Kalia didn't know whether this was true or not, after all, this was what her teacher told her.

As an elf magician who once defeated the Demon King together with the hero, the teacher who was now shorter than her happened to be looking for a potion ingredient near her hometown.

But even as a teacher of legendary rank, he was unable to prevent the disaster that had already broken out.

After eliminating the impact caused by Kalia's ability going out of control, for some unknown reason, she chose to adopt Kalia.

Until now, Kalia still remembers the expression on her teacher's face when she asked him about her life experience on her fifteenth birthday a year ago.

But in the end, she told her the past.

In fact, when she knew the answer, she forgot to ask the teacher another question.

Why adopt her? Why not let her starve to death in the ruins of her hometown? Why not just kill her, this unstable factor, but choose to adopt her and raise her?
But in the end she didn't ask.

She was afraid that the teacher would really abandon her because of this.

But even without asking, the teacher still left the forest in Blackthorn Territory before her sixteenth birthday.

"I'm going on a long trip. Please stay home and I'll be back soon."

That's what she said.

But for an elf, sixteen years is about the same as sixteen days for a human.

Kalia didn't know how long she would have to wait when she said she would be back soon.

Three days? Three months? Three years?
Kalia spent her sixteenth birthday alone in anxiety and anticipation, and completed the awakening of her abilities.

At that time, she thought she had completely controlled her abilities, and the subsequent desperate journey to avoid being hunted made her more convinced that she would not lose control.

but……

Kalia buried her head in her arms.

Fortunately, Roland was fine, and fortunately he reacted quickly.

If a kind-hearted person who risked his life to help her died in her hands... Kalia didn't dare to think about it any further.

"But why did he insist on asking me to come upstairs to rest?"

"That reason just now doesn't make any sense at all."

"You can't be asking me to rest just because I haven't rested enough..."

Kalia began to wonder about Roland's motives.

He had obviously found a way to resolve the danger, yes, the flash technique.

If it was just the effect caused by Kalia's subconscious loss of control, a flash spell would be enough to eliminate the shadow.

She recalled how Roland had taken care of her along the way. Although his tone was not very nice, he had given her food and drink, helped her find a way to deal with the pursuers, and even gave her a place to stay.

Even magical equipment like the invisibility cloak, which is not cheap at all, can be given away for free.

Could it be that he really just wanted her to have a good rest?

Thinking of this, Kalia's cheeks flushed slightly. The moonlight slanted in through the carved wooden window, casting diamond-shaped spots of light on her face, condensing the throbbing at the moment into crystal.

Kalia sat up straight suddenly, then raised her hands and slapped her cheeks vigorously: "Hu, don't think too much, don't think too much."

"It's impossible to sleep in a bed, not in this lifetime!"

"It's better to wrap yourself in a blanket and sleep on the table!"
