I'm a Villainess but So Popular

Episode 22

There was nothing to wait and do.

A flame fluttered with its long tongue shot straight at Boyleis.

Standing with a white-paled face, he threw himself to the side just before the flames swallowed him, avoiding the fire.

The fire, which hit the shield outside the court line, disappeared into the air after splashing it with a bang.

But, I won’t finish it with only this.

‘I’ll never let that dirty mouth say a word again.…!’

Immediately I called back the flame and sent it to Boyleis, who was standing in a daze.

Without a gap to run away, I fired and sent a flame without constantly giving a break.

Of course, Boyleis had to run like a mouse avoiding a cat.

‘Once again…!’

The fire, which wriggled like a snake in construction, rushed toward Boyleis with its big mouth wide open.

“Don’t come…”

As Boyleis, who was desperately shouting, swung his right arm, the flames paused, as if blocked by a transparent membrane.

“You seem to know how to use defensive magic.”

The weak shield was easily broken when I pressed the flame with my right hand.

“Hiik…”

After turning away, Boyles turned left and fell flat on the floor.

“Oh, don’t come!”

That doesn’t mean I won’t go.

He should think about stopping it. If you tell them not to come, won’t the enemy come?

His gut was so small inside so when I added a long flame from my hand to the huge fire, I thought, <i>‘What would he do in the actual battle?’</i>

‘Let’s give him a little scare.’

In fact, with this much fire, as I told Boyleis earlier, it wasn’t hard to make that guy roast at once.

But this was a school, and I didn’t want to get caught up in the trouble because of him.

That’s why I’ve been building a huge fire all this time, and then I’ve driven that guy in, pretending to be narrowly missed.

My goal was to get him out of his mind and make him half dead.

And I didn’t even intend to finish the game until I saw him squeezing.

“Ahhhhhh!”

As I turned the direction of the flame slightly, the wriggling flame crept past Boyleis’s trouser belt very slightly.

After a great deal of careful control not to burn it to the flesh at once, it succeeded in putting a tiny spark on the trouser leg of Boyleis.

“Ahhhhh! It’s hot!!”

After stamping his feet and screaming ridiculously, Boyleis hurriedly made water from his hands and sprayed it on his trousers.

The small flame went out with a crackling sound.

“Don’t mess with me!”

Boyleis, who put out the fire of the magic water, soon lost his reason and rushed at me like a beast, sprinkling water from hand to hand.

But there were a few things Boyleis had overlooked.

It is that the spade family specializes in the magic of dealing with 4 elements including water.

And unlike me, Boyleis, who is not good at magic, can only produce as much water as he can spray for a while.

“Oh, you want to deal with water?”

I immediately activated the magic water and put it up in the air.

From the far end of the stadium, the sight of Boyleis roaring like a beast seemed slow to me as if it were a slow-motion camera.

I raised my mouth and smiled at his appearance that didn’t show any dignity

‘It’s Erica’s revenge.’

By the time the Boyleis were just passing through the middle of the stadium, I would gather the waters on the ceiling.

I poured all the water I had left, over his head.

“Oh, my God, look at that–”

“She could have created that much water in that short time?”

Boyleis eventually lost his balance and fell to the depth of the waterfall-like amount and pressure.

The amount was so large that it took quite a while for the water to pour out.

At last, the spilt water flowed over and over to the shield, and soon the water rose to the ankles.

‘Eck, it’s a little wet.’

Stamping my feet in the water that filled the stadium, I entered the finishing stage.

Before the sober Boyleis, struck by a splash of water, rushed back, I quickly leaned down and pressed my palm against the soil.

And when I invoked the magic dealing with soil, the floor of the stadium began to crack as I intended.

“Uh, uh…!”

Then Boyleis, who stood up staggeringly, dropped his two feet between the cracked floors.

Waiting for the moment, I solidified the ground and blocked Boyleis’s retreat.

“What, this! It doesn’t come out–”

The Boyleis, who was floundering his arms with wet, damp hair on her cheek, cried hopelessly.

Then the judge began counting.

“10, 9, 8-”

The tournament rules. It’s a win if you let your opponent out of the court line or keep him from moving for 10 seconds.

Victory is already assured.

But I wasn’t satisfied with it.

‘He needs to know the subject.’

Toward Boyleis swinging his arms around, I drew out a flame that was bigger than any other flame I ever had flown toward Boyleis.

“5, 4, 3-”

The flame, which was spinning like a whirlwind and spewing enormous heat, burned as if to devour Boyleis with its mouth wide open.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Save me!”

There was an eardrum-splitting scream in the stadium.

“1-”

The referee sang “0” exactly and when the whistle sounded to announce the end of the game, the spark that enveloped the Boyleis was extinguished.

The blazing flames vanished into the air, leaving only sparks and ashes on the spot.

When the flame disappeared, the professor declared victory and defeat of the game.

“Yerine Spade victory, Edwin Boyleis defeats.”

‘It’s over.’

Looking back with a bittersweet feeling, I could see Boyleis’s legs still stuck on the ground.

I’m not lying, Boylies was sitting down and crying with a tearful and runny nose with swollen eyes that were unrecognizable at first glance.

“Ugh, <i>sobs</i>,<i> sobs</i>…….”

It was a visual that made the sound of being an ugly guy burst out.

How can he be so ugly until the end?

It is true that I used large-scale magic today, but it was not extremely dangerous.

Aside from the magic of the four elements, it would not have been unilaterally attacked if it had only the basis of defence and attack magic.

“…….”

After sucking water with my hands to restore the stadium to its original state, I approached Boyleis, who had been stuck in the ground until then and couldn’t do anything.

After shedding tears, he started to twist like crazy as I approached him.

“Hick, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Hiik, please don’t come!”

“……I’ll have to let you go out of the ground.”

I wanted to tell him to shut up and stay still, but I held it in because there was a professor.

When the palms were placed against the damp ground and magic was activated, the earth floor wriggled and began to fill the crack, and the bogged Boyleis could also come out.

“Oh, look over there. She kindly got him out of the ground!”

“Oh, what do you think she’s saying? I guess she told him that he did a good job!”

“Wow, she has good manners, too.”

But between Boyleis and me, a quite different kind of conversation was taking place than they were imagining.

“Hey.”

At my low voice, Boyleis flinched and looked doubtful at me with swollen eyes as red as a rabbit.

“You saw it today, didn’t you?”

I said with folded arms and a low voice.

Unknowingly, Boyleis gulped and waited silently for my words.

As a warning to him, and in front of others, the impressive duke, who gave warm words of encouragement to the defeated rival, showed my teeth and smiled broadly to appear self-discipline.

“Be good in the future.”

“Hiikk………”

Boyleis shuddered and ran off on the spot.

‘So you shouldn’t have been out there without knowing the subject.’

I looked at his direction, thinking that it was a little pleasant.

“Yerine! You’ve been great today!”

As I turned around to the loud voice of calling my name, Astra and Rachel, also Rayl and Cassius gathered together and were running excitedly toward me.

“The fireworks were really cool–”

“So is the water storm! You made it up in an instant!”

“I didn’t know you already knew how to handle soil–”

As they were chatting merrily in the babble, a familiar pink-haired girl stopped quietly in front of me.

“Huh?”

While receiving the children’s touch and cheers, I stopped my hand at the sight of Erica, who caught my eye.

All our eyes were on Erica, who stood there without saying anything.

But the next moment, Erica slowly raised her head, smiling, slightly folding her jewelled pink eyes.

“That was cool, Yerine,”

Is this how it feels to find the ray of gleam?

The whole world seemed to be brightening and brightening.

“……”

“Ye, Yerine, nosebleed, nosebleed!”

“Oh, my God! Come on, let’s get to the nurse’s office–”

That day I thought.

The place where I will die today is this stadium.

***

I looked across the stadium with my eyes raised.

The very stadium where I won yesterday.

But the opponent on the other side today was not a nerd who gave a dog-like personality.

At first glance, a royal family with black hair and bright yellow eyes that shine like a beast, wearing a huge aura.

My opponent today was definitely not going to be easy.

Still, somewhere in my heart, there was a mixture of expectations that made my heart pound.

“Don’t go easy at me, Cassius.”

I said, lowering to the full extent and taking combat readiness.

Cassius rolled up his lips to answer the question.

“Yes. I’ll do my best.”

The tension passed, and finally, the whistle sounded throughout the stadium.

Cassius and I raised our hands at the same time, and not long after, something spewed out of each of the two hands.

It was just then.

A form I had never seen before, a giant golden tiger began to run fast toward me.
