Explosions

As she looked at the information cube, which was sitting on the table in front of her, Beatrice faintly smiled before stretching out her hand and touching it with her hand and sending her mana into it.

The moment Beatrice did so, an ever so familiar keyboard appeared in front of Beatrice, causing her to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It looks as though it works..." mumbled Beatrice before she closed the information cube and placed it on the left side of the desk.

A moment later, Beatrice fell into thought for a few moments before deciding what to do right now.

Without even getting up from the desk, Beatrice immediately fell asleep as she placed her hands and head onto the desk.

With her control of her body, it was extremely easy for Beatrice to fall asleep and wake up when she desired to, as such, she did not care much about where she went to sleep.

...

Seven hours later.

The moment seven hours passed since she had fallen asleep, Beatrice suddenly regained consciousness and opened her eyes, which were now full of energy.

'I've been sleeping quite a bit recently,' thought Beatrice as she immediately got up from the desk and tidied up her clothes.

A moment later, Beatrice picked up the information cube from the desk and placed it into her robe, before walking up to her bed and sitting cross-legged onto it.

...

Two and a half hours later.

After refining mana for almost two years, Beatrice had already become somewhat proficient in it, allowing her to speed up the refinement quite a bit, and not have to waste so much time each day.

Of course, this was to be expected, as by now, Beatrice had spent almost 2500 hours refining mana, or around 103 days straight.

'Hopefully I don't have to do this any more soon,' thought Beatrice as she stretched out her hand and grasped a potion which had floated in front of her.

Beatrice then instantly drank the potion before beginning to refine the large amounts of mana it had sent into her body.

As she opened her eyes and felt the amount of mana inside of her mana pool increase once again, Beatrice couldn't help but shake her head.

"As expected, I can't get used to my mana pool increasing so fast," mumbled Beatrice as she felt the amount of mana inside of her body increase once again.

But this time, compared to before, Beatrice felt as though something was a bit different, as a familiar feeling, one that she had felt in her previous life, began emerging from her body.

Beatrice felt as if her stomach was becoming full, but unlike that feeling, this one was emerging from the entirety of her body.

'With the speed at which I can increase my mana, I should be able to reach my limit in only a few days,' thought Beatrice as the smile on her face increased in size.

This was perhaps the happiest Beatrice had felt ever since she had been reborn, as she couldn't help but want to regain her old power as soon as possible.

After she managed to reach her old peak, Beatrice felt as though going even further would be extremely easy, but Beatrice was unaware if this was just a feeling or was in fact true.

A few moments after realizing that she was approaching her previous peak once again, Beatrice fell into thought, as she contemplated what to do at the moment.

'If I continue researching the Information Cube, my progress on it will likely slow down to a crawl, I can continue researching it after becoming an official mage, but It's not a good idea to continue right now,' thought Beatrice as she walked around her room.

The thing that first came to Beatrice's mind once she had asked this question was very simple, Beatrice would continue practicing her mastery over the soul.

But upon thinking for a few more moments, Beatrice had realized something, causing a smile to appear on her face.

"I haven't practiced spells in quite a bit, I guess I can give that a shot," thought Beatrice as she let out a chuckle.

...

As she stared at the metal training dummy which was standing on the other side of the metal room, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face.

A moment later, as Beatrice stretched out her hand, a relatively large arrow appeared in front of her after around a second.

Unlike the last time she had tried casting the Rank 1 Dark Arrow spell, Beatrice was completely different at the moment.

Back then, Beatrice had to push herself to the near limit to cast this spell, but right now, Beatrice felt as though she felt as though casting this spell was even easier than at her peak from her last life.

A moment later, the Arrow that was floating in Beatrice's hands suddenly flew towards the dummy, as four sonic booms suddenly appeared behind it.

In only a fraction of a moment later, the dummy had been shattered to small pieces, not slowing down the arrow in the slightest, which then flew into the magic resistant walls of the room at nearly it's top speed.

But even though both the dummy and the wall were magic resistant, the difference between them was as large as Clouds and Mud.

The moment the arrow touched the wall, it suddenly exploded, causing Beatrice, who was already protecting herself using her Dark Barrier, to faintly smile.

By now though, the metal remains of the dummy flew towards Beatrice, causing her to suddenly move her head to the side, dodging one of them.

Even though Beatrice had the ability to defend against these metal shards, why would she bother doing so and wasting energy.

A moment later, Beatrice decided on what she would be doing next.

'Let's do this,' thought Beatrice as she took in a deep breath and stretched out both of her hands.

After around five seconds, two Dark Arrows had formed in both of her hands, but compared to her first arrow, both of these looked much more unstable.

Suddenly, though, Beatrice's expression changed, as she suddenly sent both Dark Arrows flying away from her, causing five sonic booms to appear behind them, as Beatrice instantly overloaded the flying part of the arrow.

In an instant, the arrows flew to the other side of the room, where they suddenly exploded midair, without anything touching them in the slightest.

'I guess I should hold off on doing things like this from now on,' thought Beatrice as she wiped some sweat off her forehead.
