Chapter 143: The path of cultivation, the cycle of fate

Hades: "Dragon Queen???"

Brain: "No way, this title sounds familiar!"

Jellal: "I remember... this seems to be Irene's title, right?"

Brandish: "Lady Irene? Could it be... is it really you?"

Irene: "What do you mean is it really me... what does it have to do with me? If there is, it's the Irene of that world, okay?"

August: "Then, if that's the case, is the predecessor of this so-called Galaxy Empire the Kingdom of Dragnof?"

Mard Geer: "Then, this is not strange, this is not strange, the Kingdom of Dragnof itself was a kingdom where dragons existed."

Erza: "Wait a minute!!"

"Since the predecessor of this Galaxy Empire is the Kingdom of Dragnof."

"Then... why would the me of that world be there?"

No one could answer Erza's question.

Even the Irene of this world didn't know how the Erza of the black world came to be.

How to explain this???

Doubt! Endless doubt filled Irene's mind.

She looked at the sky screen again, her eyes full of confusion.

"What exactly happened in that world?"

【In the sky screen footage.】

【The moment he heard the title Dragon Queen, Black Natsu fell silent.】

【In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the figure with crimson hair.】

【"Counting the time... for her, it should have been more than three hundred years, right?"】

【"Eh? Master, what are you saying?"】

【Mavis's voice brought Black Natsu's thoughts back.】

【"Oh, nothing, by the way... you should have rested enough, right?"】

【"It's time to continue meditating."】

【Hearing this, Mavis was startled!】

【"Now?"】

【"Of course, look, they are all still meditating."】

【"Then... then... then can I eat one more skewer?"】

【Mavis's gaze was fixed on the meat skewers on the campfire, and drool had already seeped from the corner of her mouth.】

【"Sure, sure."】

【Black Natsu shook his head with a smile, then took another skewer of roasted meat from the campfire and handed it to Mavis.】

【"After finishing the food like a whirlwind, Mavis ran off happily to meditate."】

【Leaving Black Natsu alone, watching the flickering flames.】

【His expression fell into contemplation.】

【"Irene..."】

【...】

【Time gradually reached early morning.】

【"Concentrate! In the path of magic, the most important thing is focus; nothing should affect you."】

【In an open space, Black Natsu stood in front of the group sitting and meditating.】

【He spoke in a deep voice.】

【Whoosh...】

【A wind from nowhere blew the grass on the ground.】

【Suddenly, Mavis, Yuri, and Warrod all looked toward Precht's direction!】

【At this moment, Precht, sitting on the ground, was concentrating with all his might.】

【The next moment, black and white magic micro-particles began to appear on Precht's body.】

【"This is..." Mavis widened her eyes in surprise.】

【"Magic micro-particles?" Yuri's voice was also somewhat hesitant.】

【Warrod also became somewhat excited.】

【At this moment, Precht opened his eyes, looking at the magic micro-particles wrapped around him in surprise.】

【"Is this... magic micro-particles?"】

【"Congratulations."】

【Black Natsu said with a smile.】

Brain: "Can you sense magic micro-particles on the second day?"

Midnight: "It is indeed a bit astonishing."

Makarov: "Precht, his talent is indeed beyond doubt."

Hades: "You think that in that era, there were almost no geniuses who could surpass me, right?"

Ultear: "Then... what about Black Natsu?"

Hades: "..."

"That doesn't count as a person, that's a monster!"

"You take a guy who can learn magic just by looking at it and compare him to me, how can you compare?"

"I'm talking about people; you can find anyone to compare with me, and they won't be able to beat me? For example, that Mirajane earlier, and her younger brother and sister."

Laxus: "Yo, not bad, but it's about the same as me."

Warrod: "Hahaha, as a descendant of Yuri, it's indeed the student surpassing the master."

Laxus: "Not at all, if I really have to say, I'm still far behind."

Hades: "Your attitude toward me and Warrod is also far behind; at least we are your seniors."

Laxus: "Forget about you, it's already considered me having good character that I didn't scatter your ashes."

Hades: "Makarov, look at what kind of thing you've taught."

Makarov: "Eh? What? I'm old, my ears aren't good."

Hades: "..."

【Perhaps Precht's success inspired the others present.】

【Especially Yuri, as a good brother, how could he accept falling behind?】

【Until late at night, Mavis intended to rest, but Yuri was still sitting and meditating.】

【"I think you should continue tomorrow."】

【Mavis advised.】

【"Don't disturb me yet, I'm meditating!"】

【Yuri's brow furrowed together.】

【"Didn't the teacher say? Don't force it too much, you have to open your heart to do it."】

【Mavis's words seemed to wake Yuri up completely!】

【"I've got it! This won't work."】

【As he spoke, Yuri stood up directly from his cross-legged state.】

【"Perhaps for me, sitting cross-legged is not the best way at all; I can never calm my heart down while sitting."】

【"I can't sit still anyway; perhaps moving around can help me better liberate my heart or something."】

【As he spoke, Yuri started doing push-ups, squats, and other physical exercises.】

【Seeing this scene, Mavis couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.】

【"Is... is it really like this?"】

【"Hoo... hoo... don't talk, I think I feel it!"】

【Yuri's expression was extremely excited.】

【The moment his voice fell, golden magic particles gradually began to emerge.】

【"It really works?!" Mavis was stunned.】

【"Then in that case, I can't waste time either!"】

【Seemingly ignited with fighting spirit.】

【Mavis quickly pulled Zera to get up and practice together.】

【Soon, another two days passed.】

【The group was worthy of being the founders of Fairy Tail; each of their talents was incredibly high.】

【In just two days, all three of them, plus Zera, felt the existence of magic micro-particles.】

【Thus, the second stage of training began.】

【The enhancement of magic power and advanced training in its use.】

【For this step, everyone had different methods.】

【But the core remained the same: the transformation of magic power and the drawing of magic circles.】

【"Transformation?"】

【Precht looked at his right hand, which was glowing with dark purple light.】

【Then he closed his eyes and made a gun gesture with his hand.】

【Aiming at the tree in front.】

【"Then... fire magic power!"】

【Whoosh—!】

【A dark purple magic light bullet was fired!】

【It hit the tree, leaving a small pit.】

【Although the destructive power was low, it was just the beginning.】

【"I... succeeded!"】

【A look of surprise and a smile appeared on Precht's usually unchanging face.】

【On the other side, under the waterfall.】

【Yuri was enduring the powerful pressure of the waterfall, constantly doing squats.】

【According to him, this was the most effective way for him to perceive magic micro-particles.】

【And the fact was indeed so.】

【Under such high-pressure training, he really felt powerful magic energy; it was the... thunder from the sky!】

【Not far away, Black Natsu, with his arms crossed, looked at Yuri, who was wrapped in thunder, and narrowed his eyes slightly.】

【"So, is this intergenerational inheritance?"】

【"No, by Laxus's generation, it should be two generations apart, right?"】

【Shaking his head, Black Natsu turned and walked away elsewhere.】

【Since everyone's cultivation was on the right track, there was no need for him to keep watching; his own cultivation couldn't be neglected either.】
