Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

"May I meet your Celestial King?"

Completely baffled, Moen finally decided to talk to the person in question directly.

"You can see him if you can summon him."

Leo's words made perfect sense.

"Stop talking nonsense. If I could, why would I be asking you?"

Moen glared at Leo, his threat clear; he now held Leo's life in his hands.

Hehehe, you don't want Aries celestial spirits to suffer, do you?
That's roughly what Moen's eyes meant.

"Um, let me think about it."

After being glared at by Moen, Leo immediately became obedient, looking miserable.

"I can ask around for you."

Leo spoke up, saying that he had no right to make decisions for the Celestial Spirit King.

When can you go back?

Moen looked strange, clearly thinking that Leo's claim was unreliable.

Leo is currently locked in a battle with Kallen, and given Kallen's personality, Moen estimates that Leo won't be able to return to the Protoss Realm anytime soon.

"."

Leo fell silent; he himself was unsure when this struggle would end.

"I'll ask another Protoss."

Moen shook his head and decided to go find his two good apprentices; he had no shortage of Celestial Spirit Mages.

"Then can I go?"

Leo stood up again; he didn't want to stay with this "devil" any longer, not even for a second longer.

"Let's go."

Moen also stood up; he had finished asking his questions and was ready to leave.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief and left the cafe with Moen. They disappeared in a flash as soon as they stepped outside.

"I have a feeling that this matter won't end so simply."

Watching Leo dash away, Moen felt a sense of unease.

Karen and this Leo celestial being are extremely incompatible; even if nothing goes wrong this time, trouble is bound to happen in the future.

Before going home, Moen went to Grandpa Makarov's house, firstly to chat with the old man, and secondly to tell him about Leo.

"I'll mention it to Bob."

Makarov noted it down, but there was nothing they could do to help with this; they could only offer a reminder.

"The Blue Pegasus people went back first because of that Karen."

Moen spoke up, saying that as Karen's guild leader, Mr. Bob would naturally be aware of this.

“Every guild has its own troubles.”

Makarov smiled helplessly. It wasn't just Fairy Tail that had a group of troublesome teenagers.

"I think our companions are much better than that Karen."

Moen disagreed, not believing that everyone's problems were the same as Karen's.

For example, both of his apprentices, who were also Celestial Spirit Mages, got along very well with the Celestial Spirits.

"By the way, Grandpa, do you know anything about the Celestial Spirit King?"

After discussing Leo and Karen, Moen asked Makarov a question.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. When Mo En encounters something he doesn't understand, the first thing he thinks of is asking the old man for help.

"The Star Spirit King? I don't know much about him, I've only heard of his name."

However, Makarov was stumped this time as well, as he knew nothing about the mysterious Protoss King and had never met him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Makarov asked with concern, knowing that Moen wouldn't ask about the Celestial King without a reason.

"It's alright, there are no problems for now, it's just a precaution."

Moen shook his head and didn't elaborate further.

He still hadn't figured this out, and he didn't even know whether the Celestial Spirit King was friend or foe.

Since Grandpa Makarov doesn't know anything about this, there's no need to tell him and cause him unnecessary trouble. He should figure out a solution himself.

After chatting with Grandpa Makarov for a while, Moen did not stay overnight but returned to the "Fairy House".

Standing at the door, watching Moen's departing figure, Makarov sighed.

"The children have indeed grown up."

Sometimes, Makarov also felt conflicted.

He wanted to spread his wings and protect all the children, but he also wanted them to grow up and be able to fly on their own.

But when the children are under his protection, he worries that they will not be able to grow. When the children spread their wings and fly high, he is afraid that they will fall hard if they fly high. He is always worried about them.

With a wry smile, Makarov shook his head, closed the door, and went back to his room.

Children will eventually grow up, and he too will eventually grow old.

Therefore, we should let children spread their wings and fly as early as possible, while they still have the ability to support them from below.

The assessment proceeded as scheduled on the second day, and the atmosphere in the dueling arena remained intense, with everyone eagerly anticipating the upcoming matches. The first battle, Erza vs. Emerald, was particularly anticipated.

Erza, who charged forward with unstoppable momentum and displayed terrifying strength, faced off against Emerald, a prestigious disciple who had easily advanced through the ranks.

Although Jade has always been said to have excellent luck in fortune telling, which has even caused some discussion, her status as Moen's apprentice still makes her someone to be respected, after all, she is Moen's apprentice!
This time, facing Erza, who is considered by many to have the potential to be a champion, everyone finally has the opportunity to witness the true strength of Emerald.

"Do your best."

Before the contestant went on stage, Moen gave Emerald a word of encouragement.

Although he gave Emerald a "Lyra Suit" as a backup, Moen still didn't believe the child could defeat Erza.

There's nothing that can be done; whether it's combat experience or personal talent, Emerald is far inferior to Erza, and there's nothing that can be forced.

"Yes! Jade won't let Master down!"

Emerald nodded seriously. What she needed to do now was to compete with grace and style! She wanted to be like Mirajane, so that even if she lost, she would lose with dignity!
"Match 1: Erza Scarlet vs. Emerald E. Fiore!"

Standing in the dueling arena, Moen announced the names of two contestants, which immediately caused the mages to discuss in surprise.

The name Emerald E. Fiore is truly extraordinary.

As mages of the Kingdom of Fiore, everyone naturally understands the significance of this name.

"This jade belongs to royalty? Could it be a princess?!"

The mages were shocked and began to speculate. As a member of the royal family and a disciple of a prestigious family, Emerald's identity was truly remarkable. Either one of them would be astonishing, let alone the fact that both identities were combined in one person.

"What do you mean? What are they surprised about?"

In the waiting area of ​​"Fairy Tail", Natsu asked Gray beside him with a puzzled look.

Jade had been hiding her identity within the guild; all people knew was that her family was quite wealthy and that she was very familiar with Lucy's family.

No one in Fairy Tail knew about her identity as a member of the royal family and a princess except for Lucy, who was her junior sister.

"Emerald... she's actually a princess from the Kingdom of Fiore?"

Gray was also shocked, clearly never having considered this possibility.

"Oh, so she's a princess."

Natsu scratched his head, not reacting much. So what if she's a princess? A princess can't possibly defeat Erza.

"Natsu, what is a princess?"

Happy perched on Natsu's shoulder and asked with a curious look.

"I know that! She's the king's daughter!"

Natsu quickly answered, holding up one finger, looking quite proud.

"Wow! Natsu knows so much! That's amazing!"

Happy responded immediately, praising Natsu from the bottom of his heart.

"."

Gray stood to the side with a constipated expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

He felt that Moen and Erza had been neglecting Happy's upbringing lately, and if Happy continued to hang out with Natsu, the cat would be ruined!
Although they're both cats, compared to Wendy's Charlotte, Happy is like someone whose brain isn't fully developed and whose cerebellum isn't developed at all.

"They were all infected by Natsu."

Gray concluded that it wasn't Happy's fault, it was all Natsu's.

"Are you talking badly about me?! I heard you!"

Natsu turned to look at Gray and unleashed a powerful attack with a furious expression.

Before the fight even started, these two got into a disagreement and were about to start their duel right there in the waiting area.

"boom!"

Moen suddenly appeared between the two men, flicking each of them on the head, causing them to squat on the ground clutching their heads and groaning in pain.

"Behave yourselves."

Moen reprimanded the two, and Natsu and Gray could only cover their heads and nod obediently, putting some distance between them.

"Brother Moen, why was it suddenly made public that Emerald is a princess?"

Looking at Moen, Gray asked, his mind filled with doubt.

Why is Jade suddenly revealing its identity now, after keeping it a secret for so long?

"She felt she was ready to graduate and that she had the ability to protect herself."

Upon hearing Gray's question, Moen answered with a touch of emotion, as if he had the illusion that his child had grown up.

The reason Moen revealed Emerald's identity was, of course, because the child herself had asked for it; Emerald believed that she was ready to venture out into the world.

"The jade is indeed much better than when it first arrived."

Gray nodded. Emerald's strength was now completely different from when she first arrived at Fairy Tail.

In Gray's view, learning magic from Moeng, even just a little bit, would be enough to make a name for himself in the magical world.

Having trained alongside Moen since childhood and been honed by him, Gray naturally had great confidence in Moen's strength.

Gray himself had always coveted the "Diamond Star Fist" and had been paying close attention to the growth of Moen's two disciples.

After Lucy received the "Cygnus" inheritance and was able to learn the "Diamond Dust" technique, he was quite envious.

Unfortunately, Lucy's training was a bit slow, and even though they both used the "Diamond Dust" technique, Lucy's execution was clearly inferior to Moen's.

However, this seems to be normal, since they are all apprentices, and Emerald's "Lyra Celestial Magic" is not as powerful as Moen's.
