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

We were all currently in my front yard since my house was not big enough for so many people. I stood in front of everyone in my team and began my run down. "So this dungeon is more troublesome than you would think. The monsters, at least the one I saw, was level 300. The problem is, is that this monster was a wraith, and from the wound, it gave me, it is not an easy monster to deal with. They can not be harmed by normal means. You need to use what is called soul magic to kill them.

"The dungeon we will be diving into is an undead dungeon. It is not a place we can take lightly. I only know of the wraiths. There could also be ghosts who will suck up your energy if they touch you, making it hard to fight. If you mix a wraith into this, we will be at a big disadvantage. Whether there is any other kind of undead, I do not know. But as you have experienced in the last dungeon, what we run into can change at any time. So be extra careful in this dungeon." I explained.

"So this soul magic, will we be learning it?" Grace asked. She seemed quite interested in soul magic.

"Yes. But it is not easy to learn. As an example." I created a soul fire sword, as I like to call it, and showed everyone. "This is soul magic. It is the same as normal magic, but it uses your soul to cast the spell. It will not leave marks on the body and can and will damage other people's souls, so do not use it on your teammates unless it is soul healing magic."

"Now. Boys and girls will be taught separately. The girls will be heading to my room while the boys will follow Diablo. To learn soul magic, Iena will be helping you, but it requires her to enter your sea of consciousness. This means she will see your everything. So to make it comfortable for everyone, we are splitting it all up." I saw many cheeks flush red when I said this and a few disappointed faces on both girls and boys.

With this, I had everyone split up. While Iena was teaching the girls, I spent more time with my mother, who was raving about the three prospects. "So how far have you…."

"Stop!" I quickly stopped my mother, who suddenly seemed like gossiping was her new pastime. "Mother, why are you even thinking along the lines of me even marrying anyone? You know I will outlive most people. I might not even age much either…." I felt like my aging process was slowly slowing down. I had no proof since there was no real way to tell in this world, but it did feel like it was slowing down. And if my dream is right, it will probably stop when I look around eighteen to twenty years old.

"So what!? Isn't Diablo a demon? You can just marry him and have the girls on the side." My mother's words caused me to shake my head as I asked: "So father can have girls on the side?"

"If he wants to die, he can." My mother's answer came swiftly and full of killing intent.

"Then why are you telling me to do the same?" I asked. It was a huge contradiction, but she seemed to be using this situation to get over what was going on. I can understand her wanting to lose herself in her surroundings, so she did not need to think or dwell on my father's well being, but this was also not good for her. It's like she is losing focus on reality.

"I…." My mother's words got caught in her throat. It took her a minute to finally say what she had to say. "I just want you to be happy. I worry about you every day while you are out on your own. I worry that you will be alone forever."

I smiled and hugged her. "I will be fine. Even if I do end up alone, it will be by choice. But as you can see right now that I have many friends at my side. I have people who care about me and wish for me to be happy as well. So as long as I have people next to me, even if I do not end up in a relationship, it will be fine."

"I guess you are right…. But you should still try at least to fall in love once." My mother still would not give up on this, but I guess she is right. Maybe one day I will. I am just not ready yet. Maybe when I am older and out of the academy. But for now, I like how things are.

"Mmm, as long as you are willing to try." My mother smiled as she suddenly stood up. "Now then. I should prepare for when your father comes home."

"Mother?" I looked up at her in confusion. It was as if something had snapped inside her. I was starting to really be worried about her current mental state.

"Don't look at me as if I am crazy. You have made a bunch of plans, right? You plan to find your father and bring him home, right? Even if all you find is his bones, he should still be welcomed home. I just want to be ready for every possibility…." I quickly got up and hugged my mother. She ended up bursting into tears as she felt my arms wrap around her. She was really not holding up well at all.

Eric came in when he heard her crying and joined us in a family hug. Life was not easy. Loved ones will be lost over time. But if I can at least bring my father back alive and allow my mother's heart to finally settle, I am sure she will be able to return to her old self. If he is dead…. Then I will bring her back to the capital with me even if I must put her to sleep.

Two days later, about half of my team was able to learn soul magic. Some were close but not there yet. Adel, Sophie, Sally, Sei, and Grace all learned it with ease. Some of the boys were also successful. In total, ten people were able to learn it. The rest would be staying back to continue training. So with me and Iena added to the group, twelve people would be diving into the dungeon.
