"Well, to be honest, I really do not know how to explain it. I think it is best to just watch." Sei answered.
I nodded and turned to look on stage. Sophie stood there waiting for the instructor to tell her it was fine to start. Once it did, I only saw Sophie point to herself and a light shine on her chest and then. She became see through…. "What is that!?"
"I don't know. It's like she is there but not. The strange thing is, is that she can still attack while none of your attacks can even hit her. They just phase right through her. I have never seen anything like it before. She asked me to fight with her so she could train her magic, and no matter how much I tried, I could not land a single hit on her, but she could blast me with magic or swing her sword at me all she wanted. Although I do think she needs to manage her mana because I think this spell actually requires a lot."
"Either way, it is a spell that, once cast, she can go all out with her sword and not need to worry about taking damage or using more mana. In fact….. Why are all the girls around me scary!?" I mean, really! Why is Adel's magic overly overpowered? Why is Sophie a being in another realm that you can even hurt no matter how much you try. Like right now, she just walked up to Instructor Jasmine and cast a fireball at her from point blank range! What is this!? And I thought I was the overpowered one with my amazing system! But no, these two just showed me up! No fair, I want to go home.
"Faith, your pouting." Adel snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked over at her and shook my head. "Not pouting.... Just lamenting on life. Like when did I become a frog in a well. When did the life of a flea become so great?"
"Don't let it get to you, Faith. These schools of magic are very rare and hard to control." grace tried to comfort me, but then that was when a thought came to mind. I reached up and placed my hand on my chest. "Phase…."
A minute later….
"And so I can do it too…." I said with a smile. I forgot I could use spatial magic too. And I also umm did something that made Adel draw circles on the ground…."Adel, please stop doing that! You are making me feel bad! I didn't know I could do it either!"
"But, but, it was my one thing I could be proud of and show you with pride!" Adel said while still pouting.
So it seems I can use Adel's cosmic magic as well. I planned not to try it, but I kind of got caught up in trying the new spells I saw after being able to use Sophie's phase spell. Although I do not know what she named it but I call it phase since it phases you out of reality. After that, I kinda went and cast cosmic magic afterward and made Sei freeze in place.
And now Adel is upset. Sighing, I crouched next to Adel and asked: "What can I do to make you feel better? I will do anything within my ability."
"Anything?" Adel asked. Her eyes seemed to light up a bit. Hopefully, she won't ask me to do anything too weird or that I am not ready for.
"Umm… Ahem…. Yes, as long as it is reasonable." I replied.
"Then a hug…."Adel said softly. I chuckled and gave her a hug. It only lasted about half a minute before I let her go, but she had a bright smile on her face after.
"Better?" I asked.
"Mmmm! All is well!" Adel said happily, back to her normal self.
Sophie had also come down stage and walked back over to us. I walked over and gave her a hug. "Sorry…"
"Pfft! Hahahaha! Faith, you are hilarious!" Sei burst out laughing.
"Ummm, Faith? What are you apologizing for?" Sophie asked with a very confused expression.
"I kinda um cast your spell…." I answered while scratching my head.
"Oh? Well, isn't that normal? You can already cast spatial magic, so there is no reason for you not to be able to cast transition." So Sophie had already figured I would be able to cast it. I guess I was overreacting.
"So you call it transition? I called it phase when I casted it." transition is not a bad name either, but phase sounds cooler.
"Then let's switch the name to phase. It kind of makes more sense in a way. I never gave the name much thought. But phase does sound much better." Sophie seemed to like the name too. I guess that settles it but to think I would have three new over powered spells at my disposal. If I were to alter them in some way, I wonder just how much more powerful I can make them. And I succeeded. I can give Sophie and Adel the new magic circles. However, I should put a safety on any spells I plan to pass down in case it uses too much mana. After all…. I do not need to worry about mana consumption.
"Then phase it is. Make sure to register the spell under your name, though. After all, you are the creator of it." I said. All new spells can be registered under the name of the creator which gives mages a bit of prestige in the community.
" I will… I will also need to make sure nothing like it exists. It does take up ninety percent of my mana to cast and only lasts about ten minutes." That is true it does use a lot of mana so I guess I should alter that first. After all, less mana consumption would help Sophie out more than anything.
