Chapter 294

【Yuri Dreyar?】

【The same surname as Master Makarov, he must be Master Makarov's elder, or father, or something.】

【Precht... the second master of Fairy Tail, Black Natsu still knows this.】

【Warrod, the current 4th ranked Wizard Saint, was called a monster among the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar in that era.】

【Sure enough, the founders are all geniuses among geniuses.】

【However...】

【Black Natsu frowned slightly.】

【His keen senses could detect a faint gaze landing on him.】

【But Black Natsu couldn't see any figure.】

【Doubt began to fill the depths of Black Natsu's heart, and he thought for a moment.】

【His gaze locked onto the back of a large tree.】

【Black Natsu swore that he really detected a gaze from here.】

【But... he couldn't see it?】

【Thinking of this, Black Natsu also began to ponder, and after a moment of silence.】

【Until he noticed Mavis's gaze looking towards the side of the big tree from time to time, Black Natsu seemed to understand something.】

【Magic power began to surge gradually.】

【His black pupils also began to shift towards a golden color.】

【Dragon Force, which is also the method to completely transform one's body into a dragon.】

【The next moment, with the help of dragon vision, Black Natsu successfully saw the timid figure hiding behind the big tree.】

【It was a girl with twin tails wearing a pale yellow dress.】

【It seemed that she saw Black Natsu's gaze looking this way.】

【The girl named Zera was startled! She hurriedly hid behind the big tree.】

【"An illusion created unconsciously?"】

【Black Natsu muttered to himself.】

【A flash of realization also crossed his heart.】

Outside the sky screen.

Following Black Natsu's gaze, everyone clearly saw Zera's existence.】

Natsu: "Eh? There was clearly nothing there before, right?"

Gray: "A person who appeared suddenly... what is the situation with this?"

Mavis: "That is Zera."】

She took a deep breath: "I didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be a chance to see her, even though I cannot communicate with her."】

Makarov: "Just now in the sky screen, Black Natsu mentioned an illusion created unconsciously... could it really be like this?"】

Hades: "That is indeed the case. That is a person... who died on Tenrou Island many years ago."】

Warrod: "It's just because Mavis learned Illusion Magic at that time, but deep down she couldn't believe the fact that Zera existed, so she activated the magic passively."】

"Unconsciously creating an illusion named Zera."】

Mavis: "Because even the caster doesn't acknowledge the illusion, others cannot see it, but the moment the caster realizes it, the illusion will disappear."】

Hades: "In the end... it's just a lonely person who cannot accept the fact of loneliness, creating another personality."】

Lucy: "This story... is like Wendy's, an illusory companion that appeared so that one person wouldn't be lonely..."】

Wendy: "Then, why doesn't the First Master use Illusion Magic now to summon Zera again?"】

"Since you don't want to be separated, then just keep it going, why... choose to be like Master Robert... leave the person you cherish?"】

Warrod: "There's no way. Since it's an illusion with a personality created unconsciously."】

"Then, the moment you realize it, the illusion will no longer exist."】

"Even if you recreate the same Zera, but... that is no longer the previous Zera, but a new Zera!"】

In the Fairy Tail guild, Mavis lowered her head.】

She shook her head gently.】

"Actually, it's okay!"】

She smiled: "Zera has always been in my heart, this point will absolutely never change."】

【The moment she knew that Zera was an illusion created unconsciously, Black Natsu also seemed to understand something.】

【He tacitly did not point this out.】

【Instead, he went straight to the topic.】

【Being a teacher is not the first time for Black Natsu, at least he has some experience.】

【First, it started with the source of magic power, and the first lesson on how to feel magic power.】

【In the forest at night.】

【The group sat around the campfire, sitting cross-legged.】

【One by one, they closed their eyes, working hard on meditation.】

【This is the first step to becoming a mage, and also the biggest hurdle that determines whether a person is qualified to become a mage.】

【Therefore, Black Natsu did not disturb everyone, but sat alone by the campfire.】

【Eating barbecue, studying the book titled 'Recalling Time'】

【His brows also furrowed accordingly.】

【The content of the book is inscribed with super-ancient characters.】

【Those are characters even older than the dragon era where Black Natsu was before.】

【Therefore, even for Black Natsu, it is very difficult to interpret these super-ancient characters.】

【This is not the most important thing; even super-ancient characters can be solved by comparing and deducing them with modern characters and the dragon-era characters mastered by Black Natsu.】

【The most serious part is the missing part, which relies entirely on guesswork.】

【Even Black Natsu is having a headache.】

【"Hey! What is the teacher doing?"】

【Just at this time, a figure sneaked behind Black Natsu and suddenly patted him on the shoulder.】

【"Mavis??"】

【Looking at the figure behind him, the corners of Black Natsu's mouth couldn't stop twitching.】

【This First Master... isn't her playfulness a bit too much?】

【"Is this... Recalling Time?"】

【Before Black Natsu could speak, Mavis noticed the book in Black Natsu's hand.】

【"Do you recognize the characters on this?"】

【Black Natsu looked at Mavis with some surprise.】

【Hearing this, Mavis nodded gently.】

【"These should be super-ancient characters, right? I once saw some annotations in a book, but I don't know many of them."】

【"Is that so?" Black Natsu nodded.】

【"I have to say, you are quite erudite."】

【Hearing this, Mavis scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.】

【"Hehe, thanks for the compliment!"】

【"Alright, are you done with your meditation?" Black Natsu asked.】

【Speaking of this, Mavis was a bit helpless.】

【"No, I just feel a bit tired, so I'm resting for a while."】

【"This should be no problem, right?"】

【To this, Black Natsu did not refute.】

【"Magic cultivation is indeed not that fast, you have to slow down and take it slow."】

Hades: "Bullshit!! This Black Natsu is talking bullshit!!"

"When he learned magic himself, wasn't it fast as hell every time?"

"Now he's saying you have to slow down??"

Brain: "But, this sentence is indeed correct. Magic is something you can't rush, otherwise the foundation of what you cultivate will be unstable."
