Spells: Earth Control - Beginner Level

Can manipulate up to 10 cubic centimeters of earth: move, loosen, compact and reshape. Range: 1 meter.

First thing I do in my room is check my status sheet. And wow, these stats are as mediocre as it gets for level 1. The female lead (FL) had maxed out intelligence at ten, plus a whopping nine in wisdom. And before you ask: no, three is actually the average in this world, not five. So I guess Bianca isn't completely hopeless; she's got decent constitution and wisdom at six each, which means she's pretty healthy with a solid mana pool. Still... can't help feeling let down. And earth magic? Really? Back in my gaming days, I was all about raining fire and unleashing ice storms. My only hope is that since my soul's in this body now, things might be different. Fat chance I can sneak away to the capital to touch the status slab, but they'll check our stats before the practical magic exam anyway.

I spend the rest of my day fake-napping, courtesy of Layla's endless tea supply. Come morning, I'm off to the country house by carriage with my little escort—a maid and two guards, plus the coachman. It's almost sunset by the time we get there. During the trip, I strike up a conversation with Berta —apparently she's been my maid for years— trying to learn everything I can about Bianca. When she mentions our destination, Hosca, something clicks. It hits me as I'm stepping down from the carriage: this is where they find that newbie dungeon later in the game. First party to clear it got some sweet loot, too.

A smile crosses my face.

I think I just figured out how to pass this exam. I'll crush the practical to make up for failing the written part. Exactly the opposite of what I bet Bianca did.
