Chapter 144

【In Mavis's direction, countless illusions overlapped around her; the illusion magic that was difficult to control in the past became more and more handy.】

【However... illusion magic could never be used as a main offensive magic; when encountering a crisis, she still had no way to fight back.】

【For this reason, Mavis had been extremely troubled recently.】

【In another training ground.】

【Warrod constantly wrapped green light around his fists, attacking the rocks in front of him.】

【But the results were minimal...】

【Bang!!】

【Another punch, Warrod hit the rock hard.】

【Looking at the tiny cracks above, he sat on the ground powerlessly.】

【It was useless; magic micro-particles seemed to be of no use to him at all.】

【Wrapping them around his fists to strike didn't even provide any amplification to his attacks.】

【It just made his fists hurt a little less.】

【"Do I... really have no talent? Even though both of them..."】

【Thinking of this, Warrod's expression became even more depressed.】

【Thump...】

【In the distance, a low, muffled sound attracted Warrod's attention.】

【Following the sound, Warrod walked forward slowly.】

【Soon, he saw Black Natsu, who was carrying a huge rock and doing frog jumps.】

【"Is this... his special training?"】

【Seemingly noticing Warrod's arrival, Black Natsu also stopped his practice.】

【He threw the rock onto the ground.】

【Suddenly, it caused another violent roar.】

【"What's wrong? Did you hit a bottleneck in your practice?"】

【Black Natsu clapped his hands and asked.】

【"I think... I might not have the talent to learn magic..."】

【Warrod lowered his head, his tone full of helplessness.】

【"Don't belittle yourself; you have potential beyond ordinary people; perhaps... you just took the wrong path of development?"】

【Black Natsu put one hand on his hip and replied lightly.】

【"Path of development?"】

【"Yes, magic is not singular, and it doesn't necessarily have to be all offensive magic."】

【Black Natsu looked straight at Warrod: "Think about your own positioning in the team; everyone is indispensable; since you can't be the main attacker, then..."】

【Black Natsu's words stopped abruptly.】

【Warrod also fell into deep thought at this moment.】

【"Positioning..."】

【Yes, from beginning to end, the main attack position was never him; what he had always been doing... wasn't it assisting those two impulsive guys, helping them clean up their messes?】

【"Assistance???"】

【Thinking of this, Warrod's eyes became brighter and brighter!】

【"I understand, I have always played the role of an assistant; I shouldn't stick to the offensive direction; assistance... my positioning is assistance!"】

【Having figured it out, Warrod couldn't wait to close his eyes.】

【Suddenly, green light began to bloom continuously.】

【A tender bud gradually grew from his open palm.】

【Looking at that fragile bud, Warrod seemed to see a new life!】

【"This is... my magic!"】

【...】

【The day's training ended, and Warrod, Precht, and Yuri were gathered together, excitedly talking about today's gains.】

【But Mavis was nowhere to be seen.】

【Noticing this, Black Natsu seemed to understand something and turned to leave the scene.】

【On the other side.】

【Mavis was sitting on a tree trunk, feeling depressed.】

【"I'm the only one left."】

【Mavis looked at her swinging little feet.】

【"What's there to be depressed about?"】

【Zera comforted her from the side.】

【"Actually, I'm not depressed." Mavis smiled, then looked up.】

【"I just hope that I can learn a magic to protect the people who are important to me."】

【"Mavis, I've been looking for you for a long time."】

【Black Natsu's voice came from behind, and both of them looked up.】

【Zera was slightly startled: "Hey! We were talking about girl talk, what are you doing here?"】

【Black Natsu glanced at where Zera was.】

【"I came here precisely for this."】

【Then he locked his gaze on Mavis.】

【"Originally, I wouldn't have agreed to you, but one thing has puzzled me."】

【"Thinking about it now, perhaps this is really fate."】

【"The reason why that magic came into my hands was to be taught to you at this time."】

【The vague words made the two girls look at each other in confusion.】

【"A magic? What is it?"】

【"A magic that transcends conventional magic, known as super magic!"】

【Black Natsu's expression was serious, saying each word clearly.】

【"Fairy... Law!"】

【"Awesome! I feel like my whole body is full of strength now!"】

【In the forest, Yuri clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.】

【The training over the past few days made him truly feel that his strength had greatly increased.】

【And, most importantly, he had learned magic!】

【For him, who had been an ordinary person for most of his life, this was definitely something worth getting excited about.】

【"That's right, now we can finally fight!"】

【Warrod's expression was equally excited.】

【Even Precht, who always had a deadpan face, rarely raised a smile.】

【Magic is indeed the most magical thing in this world!】

【"By the way, where is Mavis?"】

【Looking around, Precht asked curiously.】

【"Mavis..."】

【Yuri also looked elsewhere.】

【His brow furrowed slightly.】

【"Speaking of which, she has been acting mysterious these past few days, I don't know what she's doing."】

【Da da da...】

【Rapid footsteps came from not far away.】

【Attracting everyone's attention.】

【"Isn't she here?"】

【Warrod smiled.】

【The next moment, a young girl wearing a black lolita outfit with her long golden hair tied into twin tails ran over from the jungle.】

【"Look, look!!"】

【Mavis shouted excitedly at everyone.】

【"Look, the fairy girl, Mavis has arrived!"】

【Mavis, who came to the crowd, proudly raised her head and spoke with a smile.】

【"Fairy girl? You're really having fun with that, aren't you?"】

【Looking at Mavis at this moment, Yuri twitched the corners of his mouth.】

【"Of course! This was praised by the teacher."】

【Mavis said proudly.】

【"Teacher..."】

【Yuri scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.】

【"Speaking of which, I still haven't called him teacher once; it's just... the age gap is a bit large, it feels very awkward."】

【"Even so, that young man is enough to be our teacher, isn't he?"】

【Warrod, with one hand on his hip, said.】

【Precht, who was standing with his arms crossed on the side, nodded in agreement.】

【"In this era, those who are capable are teachers; others are stronger than us and even teach us magic; this is already a great kindness."】

Hades: "No way, you really called him teacher?"

"The me of that world... actually called that kind of brat teacher?"

Warrod: "Ho ho ho, Precht, you can't deny the Black Natsu of that world."

"In that world, he is indeed our benefactor, so calling him teacher is not inappropriate; on the contrary, it's quite interesting."

Mavis: "Exactly, is Precht's heart that small?"

Hades: "No, I'm just awkward! I didn't deny the Black Natsu of that world."

"I just find it hard to connect that Black Natsu with the Natsu of our world; it's just very strange."

"Just thinking that I have to call that brat teacher makes me feel uncomfortable; back then, Natsu was beaten up by me."

Hades outside the sky screen felt uncomfortable all over.

But the people in the black world seemed to be used to it.

【"Well! That's true."】

【Yuri smiled again.】

【Seemingly thinking of something, he looked at the crowd excitedly.】

【"You guys say, no matter what, we should treat the teacher well, right? It can be considered a celebration of our successful learning of magic, and our gratitude to the teacher!"】

【"The teacher seems to like eating, how about we have a big feast?!"】

【"That's a good idea! I can go spear fish, my wood magic can create forks!"】

【Warrod clapped his hands and suggested.】

【"Your way isn't as fast as my lightning; one zap and the fish in the water will float up."】

【Yuri waved his hand, indicating it wouldn't work, and it would be better for him to go.】

【Precht shook his head: "In that case, I'll go catch some wild beasts."】

【Warrod: "Then let's do this, I'll be responsible for firewood and such, and by the way, I can get some vegetables!"】

【The group discussed enthusiastically.】

【But Yuri keenly noticed that Mavis, who had been extremely excited just a moment ago, rarely didn't participate in the discussion.】

【"Eh? What's wrong?"】

【Yuri asked curiously.】

【Mavis's expression became somewhat hesitant: "I'm sorry, you guys are probably going to be disappointed."】

【The people present looked at each other, somewhat confused.】

【To this, Mavis sighed helplessly.】

【"The teacher, long before teaching me the last magic, had already left here."】

【"Left?!!"】

【"Hey, hey, hey, no way? Didn't he even say goodbye?"】

【"Left without saying goodbye..."】

【Mavis nodded gently:】

【"The teacher said that the reason he stayed was to teach us magic; now that we have all learned magic and have the power to protect ourselves, his mission is completed."】

【"So he planned to leave."】

【The excited expressions of the people present gradually calmed down.】

【They became somewhat silent.】

【After a long while, Yuri asked: "Then, did he say where he was going?"】

【Mavis lowered her head and shook it gently.】

【"According to him, he has things he must do, and we have things we must do, so there's no need to know where he went."】

【"If we are still fated, we will meet again."】

【Precht frowned slightly: "He really is an extremely mysterious person."】

【"Then does that mean the treat is ruined?"】

【Yuri also became somewhat depressed.】

【"Actually, I haven't finished speaking yet!"】

【Just at this moment, Mavis suddenly raised her head, a flash of wisdom in her eyes.】

【Everyone present looked at Mavis in unison.】

【"What else is there?"】

【"I might know where the teacher went!" Mavis said triumphantly.】

【"You know? But didn't the teacher not say?" Yuri looked at Mavis in confusion.】

【"He didn't say, but I can deduce it."】

【"His destination should be the Galaxy Empire!"】

【"Galaxy Empire?"】

【Precht couldn't help but put down his hands and stand straight from the tree trunk he was leaning on.】

【"If I remember correctly, that place is still in a state of war, right? Such a dangerous place..."】

【Mavis: "I don't know what kind of obsession he has with the Galaxy Empire, but what I do know is that once he goes to the Galaxy Empire, he will inevitably be involved in fighting."】

【"It can be foreseen... this will be an extremely dangerous journey." Warrod also said in a deep voice.】

【"Then... we can't let the teacher go alone, at least we should go help, right?" The most impulsive Yuri was the first to stand out.】

【"If we are going to help, count me in." Warrod echoed.】

【"I also want to see what kind of empire it is that can attract the covetousness of an entire continent!"】

【Precht looked up, the fighting spirit in his eyes even beginning to boil.】

【But Mavis kept shaking her head: "No!"】

【"Have you forgotten what we have to do ourselves?"】

【"The dark guild still entrenched in Magnolia, Blue Skull!"】

【Mavis's emerald eyes looked at the people in front of her.】

【"Blue Skull..."】

【Mentioning this name, everyone present fell into silence.】

【Yes, in Magnolia, there was still a Blue Skull waiting for them.】

【The crushing defeat last time was still vivid in their minds even today.】

【And the wails of the oppressed town and innocent people were still echoing.】

【"We need to liberate this town!"】

【Mavis looked up, her gaze firmer than ever before.】

【"Just as the teacher said, this is something we must do; since it's something we must do, we must do it well, only then can we not live up to the magic the teacher taught us."】
