I, who was reincarnated as the villain character in a game, was secretly enjoying my role as the villain while pulling off heroic moves behind the scenes. However, my actions were exposed to my fiancée, who absolutely despises me - Episode 12

Episode 12

Today, as usual, I’m training with Garing in the morning, so as I walk through the mansion, a servant approaches from the opposite direction.

When our eyes meet, they smile and bow their head.

“Ah, good morning, Lord Reis.”

“Ah, good morning. It’s cold today, so take care of yourself.”

“Yes! Lord Reis, please take care too.”

While exchanging such words, I head out to the garden and meet up with Garing.

Then, activating spatial magic, we move to the Forest of Rebellion.

Recently, I’ve been feeling more comfortable with my magical power, so we’re using spatial magic to move like this.

It takes quite a while to travel to the forest by horseback…

“As convenient as ever, this magic.”

“But it’s not very fuel-efficient.”

Nowadays, I can use it as if it’s a matter of course, but if I had trained without any game knowledge, my magical power would be less than half of what it is now.

In that case, it would depend on whether I could use spatial magic round trip, and if not, it’s easy to understand why it’s considered useless magic.

We engage in combat with goblins as usual.

Lately, I’ve been able to handle multiple goblins without using spatial magic at all.

As we bury the goblins, Garing smiles contentedly.

“You’ve done splendidly, Lord Reis. There’s no problem at all with handling goblins now.”

“…Yeah.”

I don’t know if there’s a concept of level for this body, but it must have improved considerably.

Next is magic training.

For now, I head towards the direction where the goblins are.

Seeing two goblins walking together as if they’re getting along, I prepare my spatial magic.

Recently, I’ve gotten used to it, so I can hit them even if there’s some distance between us.

So, I activate spatial magic towards the vulnerable goblin.

When my magic is activated, space tears apart, swallowing the arm of one of the goblin.

“Agh!?”

“Eek!?”

Surprised voices come from the two goblins. I watch the scene from behind a tree and store the arm of one of the goblins in another dimension.

“Aaah!?”

The goblin whose arm was torn screams and crouches down, pressing on the wound.

The other goblin notices us and jumps towards us.

“Guu!”

“…”

I activate spatial magic between the goblin charging straight at me, connecting it to the goblin whose arm is broken and unable to move.

“Agah!?”

“Eek…”

The goblin’s attack hits the other goblin perfectly.

With that, one goblin is defeated.

The goblin, completely bewildered, soon becomes enraged and attacks us.

However, it’s already too late.

I engulf the goblin approaching me with spatial magic, severing it into upper and lower halves.

“Gwee!”

The goblin, making a pained sound, falls down and stops moving.

With this, the two goblins are defeated… but my magical power is still fine.

“…As expected, Lord Reis.”

“No, it’s also thanks to Garing’s guidance. Thank you.”

He’s the one who taught me the basics of using a short sword and magic.

However, there are still areas where I waste magical power.

Spatial magic. It’s a powerful magic that can cut through enemies without question, but the consumption of magical power is also severe.

…If I keep using it recklessly against goblins like earlier, I’ll run out of magical power quickly.

To reduce consumption, I need to aim for the enemy’s weak points with my attacks.
