I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 2: The Secret Room
Previous Story:
Eva goes to eat with Dean Wason, then he asks Robert whereabouts, and Dean Wason says that Robert is on business, therefore he is not in the magic tower. Dean Wason doesn't seem to want to tell Eva what Robert is doing right now. Eva was curious. Eva decides to stay in Robert's room and find out for herself. Eva decides this because she caught Robert working on something strange.
When they finished eating, Dean Wason drove him to Robert's room. As Eva was about to enter the room, one of the Magic Tower disciples approached her and gave her an envelope. Eva didn't think much of it, as the envelope was just a deposit to give to Robert later.
Upon entering Robert's room, Eva searched the entire corner. Search for documents he's seen. But he never found it. Eva finds nothing until she discovers a strange blue cloth. Pulling the cloth and suddenly the secret basement was opened....

I was still crouching on the edge, while observing the basement in front of me.
"Ah... The room is very dark.." I weld. I'm not afraid of the dark. But I fear the animals that live in darkness. For example, rats.
Uuhh.I shiver when I think of that creature. Hopefully I won't meet a single mouse in this basement.
I've been living in the mansion for eleven years, and I've never met that creature. I just wish I hadn't met a single mouse.
"Take this just in case" I took out a magic tool that was shaped like a stick. This tool can cast electric magic and has a wide range. Actually, I could have used direct magic to attack. But, in case of panic I really did not have time to think of reciting a spell. On earth I'm used to carrying poison spray pest cleaners. So if you find the creature, just press it. This magic tool has the same function as the hehehe spray poison...
I started to let out small fireballs, which I let float above my head. I made five small fireballs and flew them in front of me. Then I slowly started down the stairs.
So far all I've seen is stairs and stone walls. I haven't seen the basics.
"It's.lumayan panjang.." I complained. I didn't expect that the base was so deep inside. Isn't it logically going to go to the floor below? And through the room below? But it doesn't seem. Wh why? Oho! Is it because this basement is a dimensional space? So it really does not affect the buildings in the real world. It seemed to be a dimensional space that Robert had personally created to hide something. But I don't know what it is for.
Finally, after half an hour of walking, I found the base of this basement. The room was not dark, there were many small candles attached to the wall as lighting. So, I removed my lighting fireball.
The first sight I saw was a simple workroom. There is only a small table with chairs. On the table were some documents and a wooden place. Next to the table were two cabinets full of books.
"It's impossible to check everything today." I said complaining.
Did I just give up? I was really lazy to check everything one by one.
"No! Can't! I'm afraid that the master is doing a dangerous thing!" I shook my head quickly to expel my lazy thoughts.
"Let's start from the easiest one first" I started checking all the things on the table. I tried to open them all one by one and read them. I didn't want to work twice, so I had to check everything carefully.
"There's also nothing here" I grumbled as I began to move to check the drawer. And I still didn't find anything.
Then I turned to the closet. I checked the closet one by one. And it takes a very long time. I didn't realize it was midnight.
Hoamm~ I yawned.
"Do I continue tomorrow? But stay a little..."
I decided to continue. And I didn't find anything...
"There's nothing important here! Why is the master hiding this room! Arghh, my work is in vain!!" I screamed in frustration. Does Robert have a hobby to create a secret room? There is nothing secret here. Ck, you stupid Robert! Maybe he has a personality I don't know....
I started to turn around.
"i'd better get out of here. I'm sleepy" I said lazily as I headed up the stairs. Sometimes I pull my arms up to stretch my body.
NAH!
There's something sounding!
I'm turning. And...
Yah~ is just a falling candle, cih! I immediately took the candle and put it back on the wall.
That's when I discovered something unexpected!
But I can't see all the patterns because they're covered in candles and cabinets.
SHUU~
I started using my magic. I flew all the candles up. Then I started flying both cabinets on the other side.
Uh! The pattern is clearly visible! But I still don't understand what this pattern is!
This is indeed the abstract image I had seen in the document. I've found it but I don't understand it at all?
'Am I being too stupid?' I thought while feeling sorry for myself.
Come on, remember, come on...
I feel this familiar okay? I've read it in novels, but I don't remember it...
"...." - ".I sat down while observing the pattern, and thought.
It took me a long time to try to break my mind.
"AH!" I screamed and stood up.
"I remember! I remember! It's map!" I said enthusiastically as I approached the pattern and touched it.
This long, squiggly pattern marks the road. Then this serrated pattern indicates trees or forests. And this short grooved pattern signifies a river or sea. It really is a map!
I remember a piece of the story in the novel, that Robert Pena began the mission with only one clue, the mysterious map. And after following the map, Robert returned with even greater strength. Bigger than twice. That's why he's called a genius wizard. At his young age, he could already match the magic of the elders, except Dean Waaon. Novel does not explain what happened to Robert during the mission. It is only explained that Robert found luck from the secret map so that his strength increased.
"So this is the secret map of it~"
"Well, I guess Robert's fine, isn't he? Novel had already explained that he was fine even getting lucky, thank goodness~" I heaved a sigh of relief.
But, my curious soul shook violently~
What map is this? Should I copy it and follow it?
No, no, no! Come on ~ you have to stop doing reckless and dangerous things. Usually this curiosity really will not end well okay.
I decided to give up and not do anything weird. Adventure following the map is interesting and fun. But, if it ends in death, it will not be fun anymore.
"Ah, but the master is there" I muttered. I was worried this time. Really worried.
I began to stare at the candle that was flying irregularly on the ceiling.
"I, no, come, no.." I started counting one candle at a time. Until finally in the last candle "follow..."
Should I come with?
"Ah, I'll think about it later~"
I started using earth magic to copy the map. I made a smaller version. After the copy stone map was completed, I immediately stored it in dimensional space.
Not to forget, I tidied the closet to its starting position. And put the candles where they came from. After I saw that nothing had changed or fell apart, I immediately took out a fireball and flew upwards. This time I did not need to climb the stairs one by one because I already knew what the place was like. So no need to be vigilant. After I got to the room, I pulled a blue cloth on the ceiling to close the basement door on the floor of the room.
After that "Fuwaa~" I immediately threw myself in bed and fell asleep...
