Chapter 22: "Magic"
In the forest between Harugion and Magunoria, wisps of green smoke suddenly rose from what should have been a long sea of green, and the hummingbirds, who were disturbed, also brought a bit of impetuousness to this peace.
Speaking of which, the small animals in the vicinity, which used to enjoy a peaceful life, have been shrouded in the shadow of explosions and screams these days.
With the crisp and loud 'boom' sound appearing again, it also means that today's 'riot' has begun again.
"- Wait, wait, wait! Are you sure you only used three points of mana?! Why do I think you're using your best every time? ”
Stretching out his hand to play the pause card, the blond-haired young man looked at the big pit at his feet with a panicked expression.
It's not the same as saying yes!
“……”
“…… It's your delusion. ”
On the opposite side, a girl floating in the air wandered her gaze slightly, giving her own answer.
"You just hesitated, didn't you?! Surely hesitated! Damn it!! Why am I the only one treated like this!! ”
Constantly dodging the fireballs falling from the sky, Yuri couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.
Thinking of the two companions who were meditating by the river now, his face twitched.
Everyone is obviously learning magic together, why is it only his 'class content' that is so exciting?!
"If you have time to complain, you might as well use this bit of energy to concentrate on the magic factors around you."
Yawned lightly, and although Zela looked bored, the number of fireballs around her did not decrease at all.
"And, 'Meditation like this doesn't suit my style at all, I'm going to practice in a different way!' Isn't that the one who said this yourself? ”
"I've wasted precious time training for you, so hurry up and get some energy."
Looking at a young man rolling on a donkey on the ground, the brown-haired girl couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"Ah——!! It's a nuisance! Even if it's a Mebis Change!! You guy is obviously taking the opportunity to take revenge!! ”
After spitting out the sweat mixed with the dirt, the round-eyed Yuri pointed at Zela and scolded her for her 'evil deeds', completely oblivious to his current situation.
Hearing this, Zela snapped her fingers, and the fool was engulfed in fire and smoke.
As for why he is doing this kind of practice now, he has to start from a few days ago.
......
********************************************************************************************************************
Early the morning after the encounter with Jelf, on the edge of a river somewhere in the forest, a blonde girl who was washing and combing couldn't help but stop what she was doing.
“...... Alas? Didn't you go to Magunoria?! ”
Looking at his friend in surprise, Mebis, who didn't quite understand this decision, showed a loss on his little face that couldn't be concealed.
"Don't get excited, listen to me."
Laughing, Zela, who was leaning on the armrest of her wheelchair, nodded at the other party's little head.
"Just stay here for a while, don't you think it's a good opportunity now?"
Glancing at the camp behind her, the girl seemed to mean something.
"Ah......h
And Mebis quickly reflected, remembering what Zelar had mentioned on the first day of the team.
"After seeing that level of magician, their hearts are more or less eager to do so."
After all, after digesting the amazing news since last night, their mood has been shown on their faces.
As a companion, this 'counseling' is still fine.
Looking at the figure in the distance where Yuri and the three had packed their bags to inform them of their departure, Zela winked at Mebis encouragingly.
"So please, Mr. Mebis!"
"Do I ——!?"
Smiling slightly, the brown-haired girl in the wheelchair pushed the feather-eared girl, who was still a little overwhelmed, towards the camp.
(In this way, the 'relationship' with "magic" will be returned to you.) )
Because no matter what, it's impossible to ask that person anymore.
……
“…… That's it, and from today onwards, we will guide you through the practice of magic. ”
“……”
After listening to Zela's words, this sudden decision caused the trio to look at each other immediately.
Of course they thought about learning magic, but ......
"Of course we want to learn if we can, but we don't have any magic in us, right?"
The representatives of the three made a summary, and Yuri spread his hands.
That's the main reason why they haven't mentioned it before.
"Don't worry, since you have decided to help you cultivate magic, these prerequisites have naturally been discussed with Mebis a long time ago."
Signaling that the teacher was next, Zela gave Mebis time to explain.
“…… Yes, Yuri, you just don't know about magic, in fact, this world is full of 'magicians', but they don't know how to use it. ”
“——!”
"And you are still a little mistaken, all we can teach is to guide you to feel and absorb the magic factors in the atmosphere, and then use them."
"The real 'magic', the 'idea' in it, needs to be comprehended by yourselves."
With a pale golden magical glow, Mebis simulated his realizations into words and patterns in front of the three of them.
After all, in the past seven years, the two of them have also come over so bumping over without the guidance of their teachers.
However, the effect of this magic theory is remarkable, although it is not yet completed, but both of them have researched the most suitable super "magic" for themselves.
Of course, this may also have something to do with their talents.
Quietly watching the feather-eared girl answer the questions of the 'students' one by one, a nostalgic smile appeared on Zela's face, as if she had returned to the time she had spent on Sirius Island again.
Compared with her who is 'practical', Mebis who is still 'theoretical' is more suitable for teaching others.
But more importantly, it may also be because her "magic" is not something that can be demonstrated to others at will.
……
After that, Yuri's painful and happy life began, with Mebis' theory classes and meditation time in the morning, 'hands-on experience' led by Zela in the afternoon, and free practice time in the evening, and every day was 'fulfilling'.
I have to say that the strong system as a treasure hunter has laid a good foundation for their magic cultivation, and although the results of their learning cannot be said to be a thousand miles in a day, the improvement is still very significant.
Although someone often complains about Zela's 'make-up lessons', that's it.
A month passed quietly, and the trio was finally able to use their magic skills skillfully under the guidance of the two little teachers.
Although they don't need any powerful 'magic', it is enough for them to improve so much in such a short period of time, and the rest is the accumulation of time and experience.
……
“…… Ahcha! Finally out of here, it's Magunolia! ”
Five figures appeared from the trees, and Yuri, looking at the city, felt like he had seen the light of day again.
"Hurry up and get back to our guild through there! I can't wait to see the guys surprised! ”
A flash of electric light flashed on his clenched fists, and he felt his reborn body, and someone really couldn't suppress the excitement.
“…… I said, you, you must have forgotten to promise me and Mebis something, right? ”
Stop at least three days in each city you pass, a few people agreed a month ago.
"I'm sorry, I'm excited."
Touching his head, Yuri smiled and covered up the past.
"Let's go! It's time to start our adventure! ”
With a shout, the blonde youth was the first to walk out in high spirits.
“…… I really can't stand it, why is it like he's calling the shots again. ”
"Hehe, we're used to it anyway, aren't we?"
Tightening his strap, the smiling Volod comforted Precht, who was expressing his dissatisfaction, and slowly followed.
It seems that I am used to it.
“…… Let's go too! Zela! ”
Holding out his hand to his friend, a cheerful smile appeared on the face of the feather-eared girl.
“……”
Well, there's one more here for those who are overexcited.
"Little fool, I can't go at all."
"Ahh I forgot again! ”
The voice of distress suddenly surrounded his ears, but it brought a trace of warmth to the girl in the wheelchair.
Perhaps, this is the taste of happiness.
……
There are still 56 days left until the birth of "Fairy Tail".
