The Wrong Way To Use Wind Magic

"Hahhh." Sakura took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She took a look at the bloody mess behind her and immediately retracted her gaze. 'Well, now I've gone and done it.' She had finally killed a person. Be it for revenge or self-satisfaction, she had blood on her hand.

<How about you look at it this way, master? The ones killed aren't humans.< p>

"Hm?" Sakura tilted her head.

<Humans have humanity, master.>

'Ah! The philosophical loophole.' Sakura chuckled while walking away.

Astra was right. Those who are humans have something called humanity.

'But then what about dragons? Do they have dragons? Or Elfs?'

"Pft!" Sakura chuckled.

<It's all about perspective, master.< p>

"Yeah, you're right."

'Anyway, where should I go now?'

Sakura couldn't go back to the mansion since she literally killed their young master. And truthfully she didn't want to go back. The mansion felt suffocating.

<How about you go to the town?< p>

"I mean what else could I possibly do." Sakura slowly walked towards the town, chatting with Astra. Strangely, she felt relieved even though she just killed people.

"What do you mean? They could not be found! Search more thoroughly." Fredric shouted out of frustration.

A few moments ago, he received news about his son going missing with his most trusted butler.

"My lord, we found traces of battle in the underground dungeons!" Suddenly, a guard entered.

"Battle?" Fredric looked at the guard.

"Yes, my lord. We also found the remains of young master Cledric, along with head butler.

*Bang!!! 

Suddenly, a vase hit his face.

Ahhh!!!

"What did you say!?!" Fredric showed a dangerous glint in his eyes. He had nurtured that son of his for twenty years. He couldn't bear the fact that his son had just died like that.

Suddenly, more information started coming in. Information about the collapsed hallway, Sakura running away, and such.

With all the information in hand, Fredric just had to do two plus two to figure out who killed his son.

"Search for her. Bring her to me, dead or alive." He shouted at the top of her lounges.

"Say Astra, do I have any way to abandon my child form. I'm pretty sure my current form will attract attention."

<You have the "Self Transformation" Skill master.< p>

"Ah! Yeah, I forgot." Sakura totally forgot that her clothes had this skill.

"Aaa? How do I use it again?" She scratched her head.

<Channel your mana into clothes and think about what you want to look like. Make sure keep the self-transformation skill in mind when doing this, or else might trigger illusion skill. After channeling maintain appearance.< p>

Sakura followed Astra's instructions, and soon she was able to use it freely. It takes very little mana. In fact, Sakura was overloading the skill while first using it. After a little fine-tuning, Sakura succeeded.

"Wow, this is kind of fun!" Sakura exclaimed as she started shapeshifting like a pro.

According to Astra, changing the shape of the body takes a lot of mana. However, Sakura could barely feel any mana drainage.

She turned into a cat, then a dog, and then a capybara for some reason. 

"Forget it. Let's concentrate on the matter." Sakura realized she was getting carried away from the real problem.

Sakura turned back to normal and focused on the appearance she was trying to take.

*Puff!!!

Sakura turned into the form she had in her previous life. A short Asian figure with black hair and brown eyes. Appearance-wise, she wasn't much better than average. She was short with her short hair. The short hair was due to school regulations in her previous life.

"Okay, now for the attire." Sakura changed her attire to look like that of a traveler.

Brown, dirty hooded jacket and pants. A brown old bag on her back. And to top it all off, a pair of brown boots. All this attire is to make sure she looks like a traveler from the Far East.

"Okie-dokie, looks good." Sakura smiled in satisfaction. 

<You look good in that master.> Astra complimented. 

"Hehe, thanks." 

In a new makeover, Sakura started her journey again. Fredric's mansion was too big. It took Sakura a little over ten minutes to reach the walls separating the mansion and the city.

"Should I break it?" Sakura looked at the wall with a confused face.

<If you are not paying, then it isn't a problem if break it.< p>

"Fair enough." 

*Bang!!!

And thus the wall was broken. 

Thankfully there wasn't anyone nearby. The central part of the city was less crowded as this was a residential area for the rich. 

Sakura disappeared into the alleyways leading to the middle districts of the town.

While Sakura was walking down the streets she noticed the guards running around town. 

'Woah! They're fast to take action.' 

Sakura's commotion in the villa seemed to have triggered a search warrant. Sakura shook her head, 'I still don't regret doing what I did.' 

Sakura focused on the other things. The more she walked towards the outer district the more crowded it got. The place was becoming dirtier and there were more street beggars and roadside stalls. 

There were the noises of individuals yelling at the top of their lungs to advertise their shops. To Sakura it was new. In her previous life, you would go to a convenience store to buy packaged vegetables. However, here people sell the vegetables fresh. Looking at the vegetables it was apparent that they were picked a few hours ago. 

Not to mention the monster meat and carcasses. The monsters weren't that big. At least compared to the ones Sakura had hunted before. Most of the monsters were aquatic life forms as well. 

Sakura wandered aimlessly throughout the city because it felt good to be lost without any directions. The evening soon came But Sakura kept wandering. At this point, she didn't know where she was, but looking at the shabby streets she deduced that she was near the outer city. 

So, she decided to turn back. The sky was getting dark and she wanted to take a rest. 

"Oh, my what do we have here? A beautiful lady like you should wander around like this you know." Suddenly few ruffian-looking boys came out of the alleyway around her. 

"..." Sakura was kinda speechless. These people looked just like small-time villains you would see in movies. Heck, one of them even had an eyepatch. 

"Hehe, beauty why don't you come with us. We will make you happy." A stick-figure-looking boy said.

"Hehe, the lost lamb seems to be a little feisty." A fat ruffian said.

On the other hand, Sakura was speechless. 'Is this a movie? I feel like they're dialogs are literally scripted.'

First of all these boys look more like lakeys trying to look like villains. 

Secondly, these boys aren't approaching her. They're just threatening her. 

"Stop right there you vile villains." Suddenly a shout came from somewhere. 

Sakura looked toward the source of the voice and found a blonde-haired boy standing at the top of a one-story building. 

"Don't worry miss, I will protect you." saying this the blonde-haired boy jumped from the building and landed between Sakura and the hooligans.

"Oh, ho. Playing hero, are we?"

"Dont be sorry when we beat you black and blue."

"Heh, who beats who is just the answer of time." The blonde-haired boy smirked.

Suddenly, the blonde-haired boy started punching the hooligans. With each punch, the hooligans were thrown far away. 

"Aah!" The hooligans flew away, crashing into the walls.

"This ain't over you, bastard." The stick, like boy said.

"Yeah, you may have won this round, but we'll be back!" The fat boy added.

"You haven't seen the last of us!" The hooligans retreated. 

The blonde-haired boy then turned and looked at Sakura.

He extended his hand forward. 

"Are you alright?" He said.

Sakura and the blonde-haired boy's hair fluttered in the wind. The wind was cozy and warm. It felt like the wind of spring was hitting your face for the first time. 

'Astra, is this...'

<Wind magic.>

"..."
