Chapter 269 Chess: Mira, I...
While Gajeel marveled at the Dragon Slayer's impressive swordsmanship, the guild was thrown into turmoil.
"So cute! Are you really Chase's new card partner?"
1
"She looks like the younger sister of Dark Magician Girl. We mustn't let her learn bad habits from that bastard, Chess."
"Would you like a drink or juice? Uncle can treat you to something free!"
A cute girl in a white robe was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, including strange uncles like Macao and Wakaba.
"Well, but I'm not Dark Magician Girl's sister, so I don't have any plans to drink anything right now."
The girl in white waved her small staff and smiled as she responded to everyone's greetings.
Besides being intrigued by the incredibly interesting guild members mentioned by the Dark Magician Girl, the Silent Magician had another important reason for being there: she wanted to visit the guild library, which housed a vast collection of magical books, to broaden her horizons, learn more about the magical world of Fairy Tail, and improve her magical skills.
As for why she appears in her childhood form, it's because she's more approachable in this state, unlike her aloof and silent adult form.
She possesses a unique ability to freely change her age, which affects her magic, appearance, and even personality.
Looking at the quiet little magician chatting and laughing with everyone, and then recalling the aloof, white-robed older sister, Chase couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "The contrast is really striking. Is she the new card partner with the amazing figure that the Dark Magician Girl mentioned last night?"
Lucy curiously looked at the silent magician, who was about the same age as Wendy, and whispered something to Chase.
"That's right, is there a problem?" Chase laughed.
"Uh—" Lucy was speechless for a moment.
What she really wanted to say was that there was nothing amazing about her figure, but out of politeness, she changed her mind and said the opposite.
If we tell the truth, it won't just be one person who gets hurt!
Wendy squeezed through the crowd and approached the little Silent Magician, greeting him warmly: "Hello, Silent Magician, I'm Wendy Marbel, I'm twelve years old!"
You can tell she's genuinely happy, and not just because it's rare to find a girl around her age.
They even regained the confidence they had suffered from the series of blows by the other party:
I knew it! The world isn't targeting me; there are other girls my age who have had similar "experiences"!
"Hello Wendy, I've heard Dark Magician Girl mention you. You're the Dragon Slayer from the sky, right? You're really amazing." The little silent magician also smiled.
Unlike Wendy, she didn't openly reveal her age, which was an absolute taboo for a female magician who had been immersed in the magic arts for countless years!
Although theoretically, the other side is also over four hundred years old.
"No, he's nowhere near as good as Natsume and Gajeel."
Wendy scratched her head sheepishly, then asked, "And you, Silent Magician, what kind of magic do you use?"
Just as the little silent magician was about to answer, Marcao, with a fawning expression, squeezed back in, holding a plate of freshly fried chicken and fries.
Although he's a pervert on par with Vakaba and Makarov, his views are still quite orthodox; he's only interested in mature, sexy, long-legged women.
"Since you're not drinking juice, how about some snacks? By the way, if you don't mind, would you like to introduce yourself to my Romeo later?"
Yeah, this guy's here to promote his son.
"Hey, old man, your intentions are way too obvious!" Wakaba, smoking a cigarette, cast a disdainful glance at him.
Even the little silent magician was taken aback by this blatant sales pitch. Seeing the fried chicken and fries offered to his face, he felt too embarrassed to refuse, so...
hum.
The ice-blue magic circle slowly swirled, and in the blinding light, the little silent magician's figure and curves grew at a visible speed, transforming into a tall LV8 form in the blink of an eye.
This time, she refused quite decisively: "Thank you, but no thanks."
"N-N-N-Ni?!?!"
Lucy, Erza, and the others standing on the periphery were all stunned. They never expected that the cute little girl would transform into an elegant older sister in an instant.
Wendy's reaction was the most shocking.
The little girl looked up and saw the other person's unattainable heart, and her improved mood immediately plummeted.
Wow, it's so big!
Wendy subconsciously touched her small tablet, radiating an almost tangible sense of sorrow.
"Oh my! So beautiful! So this is the true nature of the Silent Magician?"
"Damn it! That brat Romeo is completely unworthy of you. If you don't mind, may I invite you to afternoon tea?"
The old pervert Macaoo immediately changed his tune, saying he was shameless.
"A guy who already has kids shouldn't be getting involved!"
Without any mercy, Wakaba kicked him away and rushed to the Silent Magician, raising his hand to gently press down on the pipe that was in his mouth.
Whoosh.
The magic circle lit up, and light purple smoke emerged from it, condensing in mid-air into a magnificent bouquet of roses, with petals scattering everywhere.
"This is fantastic! I didn't expect to be able to use my newly learned flirting skills so soon!" Wakaba thought to himself with secret delight.
The lecherous men around them began to condemn it, saying it was just a boring little trick, while they encouraged themselves to use their magic to construct a magic circle, also preparing to show off their skills to attract the attention of the beautiful woman.
"Hey you guys, can't you have any manners?!" Lucy yelled, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
"Hahaha, how could I be left out of a fight!" Natsu said excitedly, and charged straight over as he conjured a fireball.
The Silent Magician's expression remained quite calm, hidden beneath his tall white magic hat.
So that's how it is. So these are the mages from Fairy Tail?
Just like Dark Magician Girl said, they're all interesting and noisy guys.
Sensing that no one meant her any harm, she smiled slightly and raised her staff, gently tapping it into the air.
An invisible energy wave erupted, spreading in all directions from the magic circle at the end of the staff.
The energy fluctuations were not strong, like a gentle breeze brushing against everyone's faces.
Then, something unbelievable happened to Lucy: whether it was the smoke rose that Wakkapa confidently conjured up, the magic being cast by others, or the raging flames burning on Natsu's fist...
They all vanished in an instant!
"This magic?" Erza frowned.
In the instant she was swept by the energy fluctuations, she clearly felt that her connection with the transformation magic suddenly became incredibly blurred!
Mira also noticed something amiss and looked at Chase with a slightly serious expression, asking, "If I'm not mistaken, the Silent Magician used a spell that can interrupt the casting of magic, right?"
"Yes, the Silent Magician, that's where the name comes from."
Knowing all this all along, Chase smiled and nodded. "Regular magic has absolutely no effect on her."
As a high-level mage with extremely high attainments in magic, the Silent Mage also has powerful attack methods, but his research direction is slightly different from that of the Black Mage and the Chaos Black Magician who mainly focus on black magic. He explores the reverse calculation of magic.
This is also one of the reasons why the Silent Magician wanted to go to the Fairy Tail library: by gaining a deeper understanding of the magical essence and system of the Fairy Tail world, Chase could gain a greater advantage in battle!
Taking advantage of the moment when Natsu and the others were still confused about why their magic had failed, the Silent Magician and Chess exchanged a glance.
After receiving a reassuring look from Chess, she strode through the crowd and slowly approached Eclair, who was resting in a corner.
"That's how it is. Could you please take me to the library?"
1
"It's possible, but why me?" Akelia blinked, pointing to herself with a puzzled look.
"Because you have a great talent for silence magic," the silence magician said without any attempt to hide it.
When she first arrived at the guild, she noticed the special nature of Eclair, the Phoenix Priestess, and established contact with Chess through telepathic communication, such as telepathic magic.
After learning about Eclair's past life experiences, her love and longing for life, and her aversion to the misfortunes brought about by magic,
He felt even more strongly that this several-hundred-year-old girl was a promising candidate to learn the art of silence and wanted to take her on as his apprentice.
Chase naturally had no objection to this.
When he asked the Dark Mage to help develop training plans for the guild members, the direction he set for Eclair was "to give life to inanimate objects," just like Mengmeng.
The reason for choosing this direction is not only because it is something that Eclair is good at, but also because of her "anti-magic" personality, which means she is destined not to learn destructive magic such as black magic.
The silence magician's silence spell, however, has no problem at all; in fact, it could be said to inexplicably fit Eclair's style.
Combined with "Give Life to Inanimate Objects" and "Blood of the Undying Phoenix," it can definitely produce a very powerful effect!
Perfect~
Seeing the growing confusion on Eclair's face, the Silent Magician waved his hand and said softly, "Let's go, it's too noisy here. We'll talk when we get there."
As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Mengmeng beside Acreya out of the corner of her eye, and her cold pupils suddenly contracted.
This little yellow duck is so cute and adorable!
"That's certainly true."
Without hesitation, Eclair got up and led the Silent Magician toward the guild's underground library.
Besides her absolute trust in Chase, after realizing what had happened, she also developed a strong interest in the so-called silence magic.
If it's magic that can dispel magic, perhaps...
She could end her centuries-long fate as a priestess ahead of time!
At this time, Eclair was unaware of the heavy price that would be paid to destroy the Phoenix Stone.
Only after the two women and the yellow duck disappeared around the corner of the stairs did the guild's old perverts come to their senses and start pounding their chests in regret.
Some clever guys, however, shamelessly approached Chess, hoping that his master would help them with introductions and connections.
"No problem, you can beat me or whatever."
With just one sentence, Chase successfully persuaded them to leave, dejected and obedient.
Soon, the guild returned to the calm that followed the banquet.
"Mira, where's Gildarts?"
After chatting with Lucy, Erza, and the others for a few minutes, Chase found Mira, who was tidying up the tableware at the bar.
We've had our fun and made a ruckus; it's time to get down to business with Gildarts!
Unfortunately, after looking around the guild, Gildarts was nowhere to be found.
"As for Gildarts, he had already taken Cana and left with her while you and Nazhaby were doing the hula dance on the table."
Mira stopped what she was doing, recalling Gildarts's anxious expression and Cana's shy, hesitant demeanor, and couldn't help but laugh and exclaim, "It's really unbelievable, isn't it? Cana is actually Gildarts's biological daughter!"
"I never expected this damn daughter-obsessed bastard to be in such a hurry," Chase sighed helplessly.
"If we want to fight Gildarts, it might take a week or two. Their commission is quite far away." Mira saw right through his thoughts.
"Huh? It's been that long?" Chase's face showed even more worry.
He had hoped to verify his guess today that the guild's S-rank mage had obtained Exodia parts.
and many more!
The guild's S-rank mage?!
Suddenly, Chess belatedly noticed a crucial piece of information, abruptly raised his eyes, and stared intently at the white-haired girl standing right in front of him.
There's an S-rank Magic Earth that hasn't had a card drop recently, and here's a ready-made one!
"Mira..."
"Dapan!"
