In I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History episode 3, Alicia recovers from her fever with Duke's help but decides not to dwell on their previous "kiss." She instead focuses on becoming the greatest villainess. She infiltrates the Magic Academy and after getting lost, meets the heroine, Liz Cather.

Later at home, she overhears a conversation about a Divergent, suspecting it's Liz. Alicia then practices magic, aiming to help the Loana village by trying higher-level spells but gets interrupted.

At a meeting with her brother's friends, Alicia shows her magic, shocking everyone since she's only 10. This sparks speculation that Alicia could be the Divergent. Liz comforts the confused Alicia. Later, Will from Loana explains that most people can only use magic after turning 13.

He warns Alicia that using it too early is dangerous, as advancing too quickly could cause her mana to spiral out of control and result in losing her magical abilities. She later bonds with Jill after an initial tense exchange.

Meanwhile, the adults, including the King, decide to monitor her development and suggest training her to avoid the risks of her magic going out of control. After a three-year time skip, Alicia meets the King again, who is impressed with her level 80 magic, granting her early entry into the Magic Academy.
