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

Chapter 357 Graduation Part 2

The king looked at both of us and when we both nodded he yelled out: “Let the battle begin!”

I quickly shot forward as I waved my hand, casting Gates of Faithylon, creating thousands of flaming swords in the sky before drawing my own sword. I was not going to hold back because I knew the dean was very powerful.

I watched as he snorted and cast a spell similar to my own! His were made of water element and as I fired mine at him fired his at me. Luckily I put up a flaming spinning barrier. But he was not dumb either, copying my spell once more and casting a spinning water barrier to ward off my attack.

This kind of annoyed me since he was matching me in tit for tat. Whatever I cast, he would copy with the opposing element. And when I got close to attack, he would easily defend against it. “Are you not being a bit too much of a copycat?”

“Faith, your attacks are already too easy to read. You may be able to do a lot, but you have the same attack patterns, and I can easily tell which spell will come next. This is your biggest weakness, and any enemy will notice it. It will only need one exchange to see the similarities in your attack. You need to change this!” The dean shouted before suddenly firing thousands of earth spikes at me.

I snorted and decided it was truly time to change the way I fought. “Mass Dispel!” I canceled all magic in the area. He was not at a higher level than myself so dispelling his magic was simple.

Once his magic was canceled, I flew up into the air and created a massive black magic circle over the entire arena. “If you want something new, then I will give you something new. Try to cancel this! Gravity Field!”

*Boom!*

The entire arena sank into the ground, and I watched the Dean forced to his knees. But I did not stop there. Another red magic circle that filled the entire arena formed under foot. “Hell’s Swimming Pool!”

The entire area turned into a swamp of magma, causing the arena to heat up. I saw the dean quickly using water magic and ice magic to ward off the magma underneath him. But he was still restrained by the gravity field, which made the next spell I was going to cast the finalizer. Trap your enemy in all directions and swiftly eliminate them. “God’s Judgment….”

Thousands of lenses appeared in the sky and began to focus the light of the suns which all began to converge onto one spot. It fell into the magma below and began to cut a path through it, splitting the magma in two.

“I forfeit!” The dean suddenly yelled out. I saw him give a defeated smile as the spells all canceled and the arena returned to normal. “Girl, don’t you know how to give some face to your elders!?”

“Haha! I see the next Queen of Gavos is truly strong. Winner Crown Princess Cyrilia!” I do wonder if this old man knows he is giving out news that should not be given out until tomorrow. But well, aw well. Not like it would make a difference. I landed on the ground and walked over to the dean, whose knees were charred due to the heat, and cast cosmic magic on him to reverse the wounds.

“I see now why you started off with the other spells and normally limit your own powers. But going easy on the enemy is not a way to progress whether you wish to train or not. If you have dispel, use it. If it fails, think of something else. No need to train in such a dangerous way. You will only be harming those around you. That last wave of attacks was perfect. I do not think many could survive such an attack.” The dean gave me a small lecture with a smile on his face before ruffling the air on my head.

I swatted his hand away before letting out a sigh of relief. If I had not made a bunch of new spells during my trip, I would not have been able to pull this off. I had been slacking on my spell creation, but these past few years have allowed me to build up quite a few new ones.

“Now then. As of this day, the Gravos Kingdom now has a new Magic Knight entering its ranks. And as some of you may have heard and are probably confused about it. Faith Cyrilia is now the Crown Princess, as she will be marrying my daughter and will also be the new leader of the Kingdom in the foreseeable future. This change was due to many different things, but it is because I believe Faith’s ability to look far ahead has helped this kingdom grow and bloom into a more prosperous nation. So under her rule, I believe we will flourish even more. Faith, come here and say a few things.” The king waved me over, so I had no choice but to fly up toward him and stand in the air next to him.

I looked out at the thousands of people in the coliseum and took a deep breath. “Some may question why I am being promoted so quickly. Hell, even I question this fact. But I will say this. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect the kingdom with everything I have. I will do my best to make life easier for its citizens and allow for more innovation and progress as we build a kingdom that no one can look down upon. Beside me will be Princess Adel as well, as she is now my fiance, along with three others. We will all work hard for the kingdom and hope you will all support us.”

I bowed slightly, finishing my speech which gained a standing ovation. But I did not care about these things as I still had many other things to do. But I am glad I was able to properly graduate even with everything that was going on. I have learned much over the years even if I had to learn most of it aboard a flying ship. But even so I think I will have a better understanding of how to lead massive armies and how to use the experience I gain from everyday things as a means to make better decisions on the battlefield and come up with better strategies.
