Chapter 252

【The sun is high, and a new day has arrived.】

【Black Natsu and the others had already left the village at dawn.】

【After all, just as Black Natsu said yesterday.】

【Mirajane and the others could no longer stay in the village.】

【Even if it was figured out that Mirajane herself was not possessed by a demon, it wouldn't work.】

【For the villagers in the village, they can't distinguish between possession and Take Over. A demon is a demon, no matter if Mirajane herself is good or bad.】

【These don't matter. As long as it is a demon, continuing to stay here will inevitably be excluded.】

【This is the result of ignorance.】

【Black Natsu didn't have the interest to change the thoughts of these villagers.】

【It's better to just leave.】

【And, take this opportunity to complete the entrustment of Master Makarov.】

【Recruit Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman to join the guild.】

【To this, Lisanna and Elfman were extremely excited.】

【A new life seemed to be beckoning to them.】

【As for Mirajane...】

【She was a bit hesitant.】

【Hesitant because of her own arm.】

【Even though Black Natsu had full confidence, Mirajane was still worried about whether her arm could recover.】

【And... after going to a new place, whether she would still be looked at with strange eyes by others.】

【This is actually normal.】

【This experience brought great trauma to Mirajane.】

【Now she is already like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, starting to fall into deep self-doubt.】

【And wanting to break this doubt is actually very simple.】

【That is to let her completely turn this page herself.】

【Which is what Black Natsu said yesterday, let Mirajane completely master Take Over Magic before arriving at Magnolia.】

【And this is the task of the few today.】

【Soon, the few found a stream and prepared to camp here.】

【After all, everyone has to wait until Mirajane learns Take Over Magic before they can set off back to the guild.】

【Therefore, during the time she hasn't learned it, they still need to live in this deep mountain for a while.】

【"Listen up, Mira."】

【"To master Take Over Magic, the first step is to understand what magic is? And the basic principles of how to use magic."】

【"The use of so-called magic, first of all, the most important point, is magic power."】

【In the forest, Black Natsu stood in front of Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman.】

【Speaking in a serious tone.】

【"And casting magic is releasing magic power after concretizing it in the body. This involves two factors."】

【"One is the intensity of magic power output."】

【"This determines how powerful the magic you release is, how strong the destructive power is, etc."】

【"Secondly, it is the writing of the magic circle."】

【"This is an important factor that determines what form your magic will take. Every magic has its own magic circle."】

【"And the so-called magic circle is the trajectory of magic power. After studying these thoroughly, you can use magic."】

【"Question!"】

【Lisanna, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, raised her small hand.】

【"That... what is magic power?"】

【Lisanna scratched her small head a bit embarrassedly.】

【Black Natsu also provided an answer to this.】

【"The essence of magic power is the magic microparticles floating in the air, hidden in the earth, and in the ocean."】

【"Magic microparticles..."】

【Mirajane whispered.】

【Outside the sky screen.】

【Natsu: "That... by the way, what are magic microparticles??"】

【Igneel: "Ah??"】

【Lucy: "Eh??!!"】

【Erza: "??"】

【Mirajane: "No way??"】

【Makarov: "What are you joking about? You've reached this point... and you don't even know what magic microparticles are??"】

【Igneel: "How is that possible? I remember I taught you, right?"】

【Hades: "Wait!!! You mean, Natsu of our world... doesn't even know what magic microparticles are?"】

【Brain: "Doesn't that mean... we were beaten to this extent by someone who doesn't even know the essence of magic power?"】

【Ultear: "This is a joke, right? This must be a joke, how could someone who doesn't even know what magic microparticles are still practice magic?"】

【Natsu was a bit innocent about this: "Did Igneel teach it?"】

【Igneel: "What are you joking about?!! The first lesson I said was this, the essence of magic power! The essence of magic power!! Don't you know??"】

【Natsu scratched his head: "I remember... at that time Igneel said a lot of things I couldn't understand, and then let me feel it."】

【"Feeling something hot, that was magic power. I really don't know what magic microparticles are..."】

【Igneel: "..."】

【"Stinky brat, watch the sky screen carefully! Look at what Black Natsu is saying!"】

【Natsu: "But, this feeling of teaching myself is so strange?"】

【Igneel: "Bastard kid, are you still thinking about whether it's strange? Black Natsu is already teaching others, you are still in class, don't you feel ashamed?"】

【Natsu: "Oh... I know, Igneel..."】

【Igneel: "Waaaaah!! I'm so angry!!"】

【In the screen.】

【Black Natsu's teaching continues.】

【"And if you want to absorb these magic microparticles into your body, you need to perform an important step."】

【"That is meditation, which is also what you will learn next."】

【"However..."】

【Speaking of this, Black Natsu paused.】

【"Apart from what I just said, there is one more very important thing for mages."】

【"At the same time, it is also what Mira is currently most lacking."】

【Mirajane's brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask.】

【"What is it?"】

【Black Natsu straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "That is the power of intent!"】

【"Intent?"】

【Mirajane was full of confusion.】

【"That's right! If there is no strong intent in your heart, then you won't be able to manipulate magic."】

【Black Natsu said.】

【"Mirajane can perceive magic power and passively use it, forcibly receiving the demon, this is your talent."】

【"But, if there is no corresponding intent, you won't be able to freely control magic. Think carefully about what magic means to you."】

【"To me... what exactly does it mean?"】

【Mirajane looked down at her arm, then looked up at her younger brother and sister on the side.】

【It seemed like she had some thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't grasp them.】

【"Alright."】
