I decided to take a walk for a while, at least to clear my head from any desires to go to the south forest.

As always the neighborhood doesn't look that busy, only a few people going out from their house and a few adventurers that don't seem to be in good condition.

I'm walking with my blue winter clothes and a scarf, I really like it because Ilya-nee gave it to me, uncle Alto said that Ilya-nee asks him to buy me this scarf from the capital with her money, I can't thank enough but just feeling grateful.

I don't know why but I'm just following where my feet are taking me, I'd be lying if I'm not concerned with the condition of the adventurers I saw, some in pretty bad condition, some look like they got beat up pretty badly and many more of them, but somehow I don't feel any sympathy feeling from deep my heart to those who look like a noble, I wonder why.

I'm not really aware, but my feet are dragging me to this place, the place where all those adventurers got beaten up and some just lose their lives here.

I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid, but something from my heart said I have to go there, but I don't know what to do.

I just got sucked in there by my urge, I step inside this forest, the aura coming from this forest isn't really giving a good feeling, it feels like it's dark even though it's still noon.

It's been a while since I enter the forest, I'm just wandering around and found nothing, I went deeper to where I gather some vegetables before, the place I got attacked before.

I look around and I can hear a wolf howling sometimes, but I barely can hear it, It seems like it's pretty far from my place.

I arrived at the place I use to gather some ginger plant before, there's a pretty big rock I can use to rest, so I decided to take a rest there and the feeling, this is pretty peaceful for me because since I enter the forest, I didn't even meet a single magical beast, just some animal running around the forest so i decided, maybe I will use it for a while

[ Senses Sharpening ]

I just feel like I need to activate it for a moment there, and suddenly a cold sweat dripping from my forehead because a pack of magical beast wolves type coming from behind me, two from the way I'm coming from, three on my left and they're pretty close, maybe not even 50 meters, I can't sense it because I didn't cast even single non-elemental magic when I'm entering the forest so I think, isn't it pretty bad? what should I do?

Cold sweats can't stop coming down from my body, afraid? is there any 8 years old kid that won't be feel terrified by this situation? but I'm just feeling that it's a pretty bad situation for me to be here, I'm not that afraid, to be honest, I was able to pull such strong magic before, I'm pretty confident I'd be able to get out from this situation soon.

I try to calm myself even though soon these sharp-fanged, sharp claw fellows will surround me.

I won't make any suspicious moves that will lead them the instinct to attack me immediately, I choose to silently cast some spell to my body but suddenly i notice that one wolf is moving, it's coming from my left side and the other two also moving and following the first one.

I quickly jump down from the rock and turn around.

[ Ice shards ]

I cast the Ice shards to the wolf pack that waiting behind me.

"That will reduce their number"

I quickly run to my left direction and cast an ice forming magic, I form a flying blade and throw it towards the three wolves earlier.

[ Cloning Magic ]

I quickly cast cloning magic to my flying blade, focusing the magic circle and make two cloning of it.

The blades are flying towards those wolves, I keep running to make a distance with a wolves pack behind me, I turn my head around to see if I able to take down something and I got two of them, yosh, I might only takes down two wolves, but it's fine for me, I then cast another ice forming magic.

[ Ice Magic, Ice spear ]

It's only a few meters between me and the wolf in front of me, it saw me and quickly jump towards me, the wolf look-alike with two I fought before.

I dodge the wolf's attack and lean to the right, I swing my spear and hit the wolf's face, she's rolling on the ground after that one attack.

"As if I will let you"

I throw the spear and hit the wolf's head, it pierces her head and I can see she's dead now and i look at the remaining, now the rest huh.
