My turn came very quickly and just in time after I finished immersing in my thoughts.

"Next up!"

I stepped forward and stood at the designated spot.

Okay, I have finished coming up with a strategy, so I just have to go with it and everything will be okay.

I think I will be able to set the same record, more or less. Yes, that should be my standard.

After all... remember, Lyra, the Head of Royal Magicians trained you directly! You can't disappoint her teaching~!

"Ready?"

I nodded at Miss Norma.

"Then, go!"

I quickly implemented my strategy.

[Gicela snîðung] (Ice shards)

First, to destroy the inanimate targets, I summoned ice shards and controlled them to hit straight to the targets and destroying them all at once.

Mission accomplished. That should display my power and control over my own magic as excellent.

Just as my ice shards hit the inanimate targets, I have already started on my next strategy to destroy the animate targets.

Obviously, it was still hard for me to control the ice shards to fly around to chase the lively animate targets as time could be up first when my ice shards were still chasing after them, so I needed to freeze them.

So I did. I froze the animate targets—induced a frostbite, more precisely.

[Forst ofslîtan] (frostbite)

My ice quickly trapped the animate targets and after it completely enveloped them, the ice quickly started to be shattered, alongside with the content (which means, the targets inside).

Yup, I really missed just one animate target, so I set the same record.

When I thought that Miss Norma would stop me after this, I noticed that everyone was quiet—uhm...? Miss Norma seems a bit dazed...?

...How rude, daydreaming right now? (; ・'д・')

Hello to Miss Norma? I'm taking an exam here, you know!! Pay attention to me!! No mind wandering to somewhere else!

I caught a glimpse of something's movement from the corner of my eyes, so I turned at that something.

There, the last animate target moved so smoothly, gliding and turning over in the air in front of me when its friends all have been killed.

Ah----its movement!! I feel like it's taunting me, saying things like, "Hey hey little girl, come and get me if you can! Ahahaha, you can't, loseeeeerrr!!"

...well, since my expectation of being stopped at this point was betrayed by how dazed Miss Norma is, and since I love to set the new high score in a game, so why should I stop?

Life is a game to conquer, right?

My former self's main objective to conquer wasn't the slightest bit entertaining, it was boring, even.

But this time, I'm free to set my own objectives to conquer in this life.

Let's start with setting a new high score in this stage.
