An Extra’s POV

"Ohhh! So, basically, you used Time Magic to age yourself down, which explains your much younger form…"

Lucielle went over the complex process of how she was able to achieve her current results, and despite Rey understanding it enough to summarize her points in his statement, he still found himself stupefied by the result.

'How was she able to do that? She doesn't have a Skill like [Tempora], yet she made a Spell that could perfectly apply Time Magic to every component of her body and age them down proportionately, so she could become a particular age.'

Rey didn't even want to think about how many variables she would have to consider.

'This is insane, for real.'

"Don't make it sound so simple, Rey. It's a lot more complicated than that, you know? The actual…" She went on blabbing, forcing Rey to understand the complex rationale behind her Spells.

Perhaps she was hoping for some sort of intelligent discourse with him regarding Magic, but all he told her was—

"I see…"

Rey already knew, from his brief encounters with her, that this woman was far superior to him when it came to Magic.

Her knowledge and application, especially when it came to imagination, far exceeded his own. If he was a jack of all trades and master of none, she was a perfect Mage who completely mastered her craft.

Even then, she wanted to know more.

'I don't think she can get what she wants from me. The only reason I can do what I can is because I have Skills for it.'

Unlike her, who had to build all of this from the ground up, his method was far simpler.

Before Rey realized it, his respect for Lucielle rose once again.

"That doesn't explain your horns and all the other Dragon features."
