Chapter 9: Seven Years Later

Teaching Mebis to learn phoenix magic wasn't something that Kaede Night had deliberately arranged.

Phoenix magic has characteristics such as rebirth from fire, which is the closest to life magic, and it is also more compatible with Mebis.

And with the wisdom of Mebis, it is very simple to memorize the basic runes of phoenix magic, and the difficult thing is to just use magic to construct phoenix magic.

But she can take her time.

Phoenix magic is one of the few 'super magics' that can be learned casually, and even if it fails to be released, it will not have side effects and reactions, and it suits her in every way.

So the next time came the days when Mebis tried to improve his magic and magical knowledge by learning phoenix magic.

Kaede didn't stay with her either, but took her around while letting her learn magic and read magic books.

Meantime.

Kaede is also observing her growth, looking for traces of 'Ichi's magic' from her.

But unfortunately, after seven years, Kaede Ye has hardly let go of any changes in her, but she has never been able to see the appearance of the 'One Magic'.

……

Somewhere by a spring of clear water.

Crash!

With a splash, Mebis's figure rose from the water.

At the age of thirteen, she is no longer the immature appearance of seven years ago, but has become a cute girl like an elf, her short pale blonde hair has turned into long wavy hair that extends over her waist, and her small breasts covered by wavy curls have also taken on a slight scale.

It is worth mentioning that two cute pink feathers grow on the sides of her cheeks, like small wings, making her look more like an elf.

When she found out about this a few years ago, she asked Kaede Night, and Kaede Night also examined her carefully, and came to the conclusion that she had a small part of elven blood, and this part of the bloodline was manifested in her body.

Ancient times,

In addition to dragons and phoenixes, there are all kinds of life, and at that time, humans who did not have strong magical power were the weakest race, and humans who combined with elves that resembled human appearances also existed, so that some humans with elven blood have existed to this day.

However, the elven bloodline in most human bodies is already extremely thin, and there is hardly any change in appearance, and Mebis is a very unique situation.

Whoa!

Standing up from the water, Mebis smiled playfully, picked up the splash, and threw it at a white feathered bird hovering in front of her.

The existence of this white feathered bird was not an illusion, but a life that Mebis had successfully created, and became a companion for her.

"Tweet!"

The white feathered bird was caught off guard and splashed with water, and it flapped its wings vigorously in front of Mebis to shake off the water droplets on its body, and at the same time chirped at Mebius.

Mebis smiled and frolicked with the white feathered bird, then swam towards the shore and walked up to the shore step by step.

With her fair little feet on the sand on the shore, Mebis stretched her petite body to reveal a comfortable gaze, then opened her arms and closed her eyes.

Multiply!!

A pale golden flame rose from her body, quickly evaporating the droplets of water from her body, and her wet hair quickly dried.

In the past seven years, although she has not fully mastered the phoenix magic she learned from Feng Ye, she has already achieved some results, and the life magic has also been preliminarily learned, and she can create some small animals, in addition to mastering a little bit of light magic.

"Let's go, go find the teacher."

After evaporating the water stains, Mebis touched the feathered bird that had flown over her shoulder, grinned at it, and quickly got dressed.

The girl ran happily through the trees barefoot, and ran to an open place, where there was a two-story wooden house, and in front of the wooden house was placed a chaise longue, on which Kaede Ye was sitting, holding a book in her hand and looking leisurely.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

Mebis came to the back of the chaise longue, leaned on Kaede's shoulder, looked at the book in Kaede's hand, and was slightly stunned after a glance, and then her cheeks quickly flushed.

She covered her little faces on both sides, took two steps back and stopped, but she couldn't help but be curious, and secretly looked through her fingers at the book that Kaede Ye was holding.

Syllable.

Kaede Ye gently closed the book in his hand, looked at Mebis and said casually, "Didn't you say don't just peek at the book I read?" Some of them are not suitable for you to see. ”

Mebis tilted his little head, revealing a cute look that pretended to be stupid, and said, "I'm thirteen years old, so I should be able to watch a little bit of this type." ”

Boom!

Kaede Ye clasped his fingers and tapped lightly on Mebis's forehead, saying, "It's still too small, wait until you grow up a little more." ”

Mebis puffed out his cheeks, and then he didn't know what he thought, ran to the side of Kaede Night, floated into the air, and stretched out his little hand with a smile and pinched Kaede Ye's shoulder, and said:

"Teacher, how about we go on an adventure?!"

I've been practicing here for almost two years, and although the process of learning magic is also enjoyable, it's still a little boring just to learn magic, especially for a girl who is only a teenager.

Kaede Ye looked at Mebis with a thoughtful look.

"What are you thinking?"

Mebis fell, looked up at Kaede, tilted his little head and asked curiously.

Kaede touched her chin and pondered, "I'm wondering if it's time for you to start your own adventure." ”

“…… Alas? ”

Mebis was stunned for a moment.

Smart as she immediately thought of something, the look in her eyes became a little darker, she looked at Feng Ye and whispered, "Teacher, are you leaving?" ”

Feng Ye reached out and touched her little head with soft eyes, and said with a smile: "It has been seven years since you became my student, and you have been staying with me for the past seven years, although I have also taken you to a few places, but those are not considered adventures for you." ”

"Your magic is not yet fully cultivated, but it is already very powerful, and if you want to take the plunge, it is time to try your hand at it."

Since it had been seven years since the existence of Ichi's magic had been discovered in Mebis, it would be better to let Mebis start her adventure at this point in time.

After all.

The establishment of the Guild of Fairy Tail is also a very important thing.

“……”

Mebis stepped forward, hugged Kaede, leaned his head on Kaede's body and closed his eyes tightly, and said, "I...... I don't want to leave the teacher you ......"

Kaede Ye gently stroked Mebis's little head and said, "What you want more now is to go on adventures, don't you?" Besides, I won't disappear. ”

Mebis bit her lip and looked up at Kaede Ye, a little tear appeared in her beautiful big eyes, and said, "But teacher, you have disappeared for three hundred years......"

"You know who I am."

Kaede Ye smiled lightly, not showing any surprise.

After seven years of getting along, time has left no trace on him, and Mebis has obtained almost all kinds of magic books from him, which he has read all kinds of ancient and modern times.

Coupled with the knowledge of his abilities, it is normal to deduce his identity, and if you can't guess it, it will seem abnormal, after all, she is Mebis.

"I'm not going to disappear again."

Kaede Ye looked at Mebis and said gently, "No matter where you go on an adventure, my eyes will always be on you, so go on your adventure with confidence." ”

Hearing Kaede's words, the pale golden hairs on the top of Mebis's head trembled, and she knew that Kaede was a person who never lied.

She took a step back, stretched out her little hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, re-revealed a lovely and pure smile, looked at Feng Ye, and said, "Then, if I leave, how can I find you again." ”

Kaede Ye smiled slightly, wanting to say that it would be good to call his name, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Go to the Phoenix Heart Guild and find Ekreya." ”

“…… Well! ”

Mebis nodded vigorously, remembering the sentence firmly.

Her teacher is a legendary magician from three hundred years ago, a pioneer who guided human magic, and the greatest magician in the world!

She took a deep breath, looked at Feng Ye with emotions such as longing and admiration in her eyes, and said, "That...... I'm going on an adventure, teacher. ”

"Tomorrow."

Feng Ye smiled casually and said, "When the time comes, I will give you a ride, I will take you away from Sirius Island, so the starting point of your adventure will also start from Sirius Island." ”

……

Following.

Feng Ye stood in front of the clearing, and with a slight wave of his hand, a spatial portal to Sirius Island was opened, like a mirror, and I could see that behind the portal was Sirius Island.

"Teacher...... Thank you for your continued care. ”

Mebis stood at the entrance of the space door, she didn't bow to Kaede, but stepped forward and hugged Kaede, just keeping this movement quietly.

Kaede Ye stood still with a gentle gaze.

A moment later.

Mebis took two steps back, raised her little hand and wiped her eyes, showing a cute and innocent smile, and said, "Teacher, I'm leaving...... I will try my best to be a magician who satisfies you, teacher! ”

Kaede Ye smiled and nodded, and it wasn't until he watched Mebis walk into the space door and disappear into the woods of Sirius Island that he withdrew his gaze, revealing a little emotion.

"It's nice to be young."

He took in many disciples, but the one he liked the most was undoubtedly Mebis.

The girl's wisdom was the most outstanding among all his disciples, the youngest of his age, and most importantly, she also had a pure heart, and seven years of time did not leave any trace on that pure and immaculate heart.

And.

She is also the key to discovering the magic of Ichichi herself.
