Though still unusually short for a normal person, he no longer looked like a stage actor cast for a peculiar role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying the three children, Macao walked into the guild, introducing them to Fairy Tail as he went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Fairy Tail—a guild of mages, a warm family made up of many mages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao walked behind the bar, jumped onto it, and plopped himself down right on the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice—he was simply too short; if he didn’t sit on the bar, he couldn’t drink or eat properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ero, bring a bottle of liquor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao called out to Ero, who had already begun working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pointed to the three chairs in front of him, signaling the new children to come and sit around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drinking this early in the morning, Guild Master? Itachi should take care of your health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ero, who was cleaning the dishes, spoke up to advise Macao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ero, why have Itachi become so nagging?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ero’s well-meaning advice earned him a grumble from Macao, but Ero only sighed and shook his head, placing a bottle of distilled liquor and a cup beside Macao, and pouring him a drink with thoughtful care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At eighty-two, it’s time to start watching your health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En walked over and added his own advice, though he knew it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My body’s still strong as ever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao retorted, ignoring them completely, lifting the cup, taking a sip, and letting out a long, satisfied sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his vast magical power, even at eighty-two, Macao could treat his body however he pleased—unless his magic ran out, he rarely even got sick. A little alcohol wasn’t a big deal, though it might cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En stopped Quan . He offered advice out of personal principle and as a gesture of filial duty; since drinking didn’t seriously harm his health, there was no need to force Grandpa Macao to quit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are these three children?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En’s gaze turned to the three newcomers—all had white hair, clearly siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl, about the same height as Erza, looked like the elder sister. Her expression was gloomy; her thin frame was tightly wrapped in a cloak, especially her arms, completely hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En could sense that her right arm was emitting malevolent magical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, the little girl in a pink dress was adorable, radiating an innocent, sweet charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the boy, he resembled his father more—he was rugged in appearance, his skin a stark contrast to the two pale girls. If not for their striking white hair, one would never guess they were siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I happened to see them outside the guild, watching Natsu and the others play around, so I invited them in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao answered while drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, these three weren’t picked up off the street—he met them at the front door of Fairy Tail; they came to him on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi look worn out—did Itachi run away from home? Did Itachi come here specifically to join Fairy Tail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En asked them, wondering if Fairy Tail’s reputation as a mage orphanage had spread so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three children were filthy, clearly having lived without a home for a long time—worse off than Mo En had been when he slept outdoors in the Wasu Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Macao brought them inside partly because of this—they clearly had no decent life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, we just happened to be passing by.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the cloak answered, her voice low, matching her gloomy expression—she radiated an overall aura of despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she fell silent, shutting herself off completely—just like Erza had been when she first arrived at the guild, clearly carrying a whole story inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were driven out by the villagers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike her withdrawn sister, the younger sister and brother spoke up eagerly, taking turns explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were the Strauss family: the withdrawn elder sister was Mirajane, the sweet younger sister was Lisanna, and the dark, rugged brother was Elfman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were driven from their village and forced into this homeless, wandering life because the eldest sister, Mirajane, had been possessed by a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Possessed by a demon? Probably not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their story, Mo En was startled—not by Mirajane being possessed, but by the girl’s magical talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A demon had appeared in their village church, and Mirajane, bold and kindhearted, had entered the church herself to drive it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the battle, she absorbed the demon into her body, turning her arm into what it was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Itachi show us that arm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En politely asked the withdrawn elder sister, Mirajane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirajane didn’t answer. Reluctantly, she pulled her right hand out from under the cloak, staring at it with clear revulsion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her right arm was entirely dark red, withered, covered in dense purple, crystal-like protrusions—so numerous they made one feel claustrophobic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. It’s not possession—it’s Receive Magic, a magic that embeds a demon’s power within oneself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao swirled his cup, confirming Mo En’s assessment: Mirajane hadn’t been possessed—she had absorbed the demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the battle with the demon, Mirajane awakened her magical talent: Receive Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she not awakened Receive Magic, she could never have defeated the demon terrorizing her village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magic Awakening” is an experience only exceptionally gifted mages undergo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary mages must study and meditate to manipulate magic; true geniuses need only “Magic Awakening”—they instantly master magic without training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last person Mo En had seen undergo “Magic Awakening” was Erza, who said she suddenly burst with magical power and instantly mastered her “Exchange Magic: Knight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support, keep reading~ Monthly votes~ Anything Itachi can give, thank Itachi!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","34ecaf504610293f86a3f0cbeb0fdb4b588db4f8146125f28230ad04da01ddc9","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-53","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-51",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
