Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

160 Cosmic Magic



Adel did not reply to instructor Jasmine’s apology. She only bowed her head as she said: “When you are ready.”

“I am ready anytime.” Instructor Jasmine replied. She did not seem to be bothered by Adel’s blatant disregard of her apology.

But now was the time I had been waiting for. I watched Adel without even blinking, hoping not to miss a second of her cosmic magic. Adel lifted her hand and delicately tapped the air. As she did, mana began to flow out of her fingertip without her having to do anything and began to form runic symbols in the air.

Each symbol quickly formed, and in less than half a second, what looked like a complex yet fully crafted magic circle was formed. In a way, how she was able to gracefully create a magic circle like that makes me a bit jealous. When I do not use my eyes to cast spells, I always have to rush writing my magic circles while she can just tap the air to create them. But I guess everyone has their own way of doing things to speed up their casting. “Stop….”-.

Adel’s voice sounded out. And Instructor Jasmine, who had just opened her mouth to say her activation word, suddenly stopped moving altogether. She looked frozen in time. But was this cosmic magic or time magic? Did Adel name it cosmic magic because it sounded cooler? I tilted my head as I thought about it. I guess I could see Adel doing something like that. But if she can stop time, doesn’t that mean she could reverse time or fast forward time as well? And was there a difference between cosmic magic and spatial magic?

From what I understood, spatial magic could also stop time. Maybe it is different as spatial magic is a separate space while Adel was using it in our world. I guess the two were from the same school of magic where Adel’s cosmic magic is the highest form? Umm… What is Adel doing? Why is she walking over to Instructor Jasmine? Why is she raising her hand? Wait, no, she wouldn’t, would she!?

<strong>*Slap!*</strong>

She did…. And now, she has turned and looked at me with a proud smile as if she is asking me to praise her? Why did she slap the instructor!? She did nothing wrong! Adel, please don’t hold grudges! Well, I guess I can’t say anything about that after I almost snapped someone’s neck the day I passed the first test.

“Rewind….” Adel cast another spell. And now, my eyes almost popped out of my head. Adel’s power was really insane. The red mark on Instructor Jasmine’s face disappeared, and all her movements to cast a spell had also reversed the magic circle she had formed now disappeared. Adel smiled as she turned around and began to walk off stage but just before stepping off it, she said: “Resume….”

And like it never happened, Instructor Jasmine began to move again. She had a very confused look on her face. I wonder if her memories also rewound?  “So, what did you think?” Adel asked happily as she bounced over to me like a bunny rabbit.

“To be honest, your magic is scary but also amazing. I do not think I ever want to fight you or anyone with such magic. But isn’t this more time magic than cosmic magic?” I asked.

“Ahh, about that….”  Adel rubbed her nose as she explained: “When I was small, I got to name my magic, and although everyone suggested calling it time magic, but I thought that name was boring and called it cosmic magic instead. Cosmic magic is not something anyone can use. You could say I am basically the only one in this kingdom who can use it, thanks to my affinity with it. They reached out to other kingdoms as well, looking for anyone who could use my magic, but the results were always the same. To this day, it seems I am the first person in history who can use cosmic magic, and it is quite peculiar because I can not use it on myself and only on one target at a time at the moment. Otherwise, the magic will not work even if I tried to rewrite the spells I have figured out so far.”

“But still, if you were to fight a strong foe who was millions of times stronger than you, you would only need to stop time for them, right?” I asked.

“Well, I am not sure. I have realized that the effects don’t last forever, and there is a chance of the magic not being able to completely stop someone. It’s strange, and there is a lot I still do not know about this power. But rewind, stop, and resume are the ones I have learned to master so far.” Adel explained.

“I see. But for now, I am glad I never made you an enemy. To think that with a single word, you can walk up to me and slap me.” Yeah, I was not going to miss this chance to tease her. I mean, who could resist such a chance!?

“She shouldn’t have been rude to you!” Adel said while pouting.  I reached up and rubbed her head. “Well, you still did an amazing job.”

“Ummm….” A person landed next to us. “Princess…  I am a bit confused. I could have sworn we started our battle….”

“Yes, we did, and it lasted a whole three minutes before I decided to end it.” Adel replied. She did not seem like she planned to go into any details of what had happened.  I feel kind of bad. If I was in instructor Jasmine’s shoes, I would be kind of annoyed since I would have wanted to witness Adel’s magic for myself!

While I could explain it to Instructor Jasmine. It was not up for me to decide as it was Adel’s magic not my own. Instructor Jasmine’s expression turned to one of disappointment before turning around and walking back to the stage. She stood up on it and then yelled out: ” Next! Baroness Cyrilia!”
