Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

"You're being arrogant again, aren't you? Well, don't blame me then..."

"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant."

Laxus, having his weakness exploited, slid to his knees at lightning speed. There was nothing he could do; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Seeing his honest apology, Hope's lips twitched.

Had I gone too far with Laxus before, causing psychological trauma to the child...?

"Um, I still prefer your previous unruly self. Please go back to your old self."

"You bastard! Don't go too far!"

Seeing Laxus, who still had a fiery temper, Hope breathed a sigh of relief. He still dared to talk back; it seemed he was alright.

Putting away the recording magic crystal, Hope looked at Makarov and said, "Among the knowledge passed down by Senior Robin, there is a lost magic inherited from ancient times called 'Law,' which operates in exactly the same way as our 'Fairy Law.'"

Makarov nodded. "The second guild master once told me that the 'Fairy Law' is actually the unfinished 'Lost Magic Law'."

"100 years ago, in the fight against the Blue Skull, the first president, Mavis, forcibly used the unfinished law in order to save my father, which caused her body to stop growing and she could never complete the 'law' again."

Laxus pricked up his ears; it turned out there was such a story behind "Fairy Law".

Hope admired the courage of the first president for forcibly using an unfinished spell, which was a huge risk.

But it was this adventure that prevented Mavis from completing her magic. The only remaining magic, "Fairy Law," was just as powerful as the original "Law," but it had a potentially fatal flaw.

That means it will consume the caster's life force.

Hope spoke slowly, "President, what if I told you that I could use the 'Ancient Scriptures' to complete the 'Fairy Laws' and eliminate its original side effects?"

"Really?!" Makarov's eyes lit up.

Laxus also glanced at Hope, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

The only three people in the entire guild who possessed the "Fairy Law" were now staring at each other blankly.

Under their gazes, Hope slowly nodded. "Absolutely authentic, and the completed 'Fairy Law' will be at least 10% more powerful."

With Hope's assurance, Makarov was overjoyed.

Laxus, however, was thinking that he would no longer need to use his guild's super magic as a trump card in battles, and could start any troublesome enemy with a "Fairy Law" spell.

Instant kill, that would be so cool!

Makarov immediately halted the banquet and announced Hope's plan to strengthen everyone's capabilities.

Although some parts were difficult to understand, everyone still grasped a certain point.

The "second source of magic" can enhance magic power.

Ancient texts can enhance magic.

Why ride a bicycle anymore? It'll be flying around in no time!

In an instant, the excited crowd couldn't even continue the banquet, and they surrounded Hope. Hope, who had originally planned to start the next day, was forced by the overwhelming enthusiasm to begin her business right then and there...

However, Hope would not casually activate a second magic source for her companions.

Only those who become guild A-rank mages are eligible.

As the strongest group under S-class, most A-class mages have reached the limit of their current age in terms of magical power. If they want to improve their strength without any fortuitous encounters, they can basically only rely on accumulating seniority.

The "second source of magic" undoubtedly brought them a glimmer of hope to continue their journey.

As for why it's not open to others, Hope can only say that forcing growth is not a good thing. Forcibly activating the second magic source will only place a huge burden on the body of the weak.

The guild members are reasonable people; instead of forcing each other to use the second magic source, they are motivated to become stronger.

Because of the Harvest Festival, all the A-rank mages of the guild gathered together for the first time. Except for Mester, who was still working as an undercover agent, everyone else was present.

So Hope simply activated the second magic source for all A-rank mages tonight.

Because of the relationship that Natsu and Gray have already started, the members who participated in activating the second magic source are: the three members of the Thunder God Gang, Elfman, Cana, Marcao, Wakaba, and Gajeel and Juvia, who are newly joined but have not yet been rated.

On the large lawn in the guild's backyard, watching Cana inscribe a large 'Time Arc' magic circle, a sudden unease arose for no apparent reason. She reached out and grabbed Erza's arm.

"Erza, is it true that it hurts a little bit?"

"Haha, of course, a tiny bit..."

Erza wore a gentle smile, just as she had tricked Lucy before. She might not share the good fortune, but she certainly wouldn't let Lucy off the hook when she suffered.

Seeing Erza's cunning smile, so similar to Mirajane's, Cana felt even more uncertain. It was just a hug with Hope, surely she wouldn't be so petty...

"Everyone get ready, I'm about to begin."

Hope drew the magic circle and, with everyone else watching, activated the "Arc of Time".

In an instant, screams filled the air.

Chapter 170 Makarov's Commission

For the next week, Hope was busy helping his teammates improve their strength.

This also allowed him to witness the excellence of "ancient documents".

If he were to teach normally, he didn't know how long it would take for his classmates to remember the new things.

But the "ancient documents" are different. This magic can directly package the required content, like a computer file, and stuff it into someone else's brain.

Of course, the content of the "file" being transferred cannot be too large, otherwise some people with insufficient brain capacity will have their brains damaged.

Thanks to Robin Luce, the vast amount of magical knowledge left behind by this great mage allowed Hope to customize unique magical enhancements for many of her companions.

By using the magic of "words," Levy and Fried gained a skill similar to the power of words to become law. In future battles, they no longer needed to write down magical words before casting spells, making them far more efficient.

With the new knowledge he gained, Warren made a major breakthrough in the development of telepathy magic. He can now transplant his magic into magic crystals, making them into tools that can communicate remotely.

Alzak learned how to make more than a dozen powerful magical bullets.

Dorelle obtained the lost magical seed hybridization and cultivation technique.

Wakaba got... uh, a way to smoke with his eyes...

Gajeel learned a martial arts style that allowed him to gain a certain amount of magic resistance by tempering his body. In addition, with the abnormal physical defense he gained from activating "Iron Scales," this guy actually planned to stack both defenses.

......

Hope also has methods to improve some magic that cannot be enhanced by the knowledge left behind by Robin.

For example, Robin didn't know much about "Enchanting Spells," so Hope shared Wendy's insights on "Enchanting Spells" with one of the founders of this magic, the Wise Dragon Belserion.

This little girl truly has a promising future.

Leqi, who possesses the "Wood Shape" ability, received the upgraded version of the magic "Frost Shape" through Hope's system.

Macao mastered the fusion magic "Flame King" surprisingly smoothly, which was originally intended for Natsu. As for Natsu... well, it can only be said that he still loves "Fire Dragon Slayer" too much.

So Hope simply condensed a ball of Flame King's Flame and had Natsu hold it and gnaw on it.

The same goes for Gray. Even though Hope has an upgraded version of Shape magic that includes ice attributes, this guy only wants to stick to 'Ice Shape'.

Ullu held such a heavy place in his heart that Gray was unwilling to learn any other magic... This was his way of remembering his master.

On the last day, when Hope was eliminating the flaws in the "Fairy Law" for Makarov and Laxus, who were at the bottom of the list, she unexpectedly discovered that Laxus actually had a semi-awakened magic within him.

After consulting the materials, Hope learned that this was a magic called "Crimson Lightning," similar to the function of "Dragon Power," which could greatly enhance the speed and strength of a lightning mage for a certain period of time.

"It's actually 'Crimson Lightning'?!"

Upon hearing Hope's words, Makarov was overjoyed, and his eyes filled with relief as he looked at Laxus.

Laxus felt a little uncomfortable. "Old man, just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that."

Hope also cast a curious glance at the little old man.

Makarov explained with a smile, "'Red Lightning'... is the magic of my father, your great-grandfather, Yuri Dreyer, one of the founders of Fairy Tail."

Hope understood. No wonder Makarov was so excited; it turned out that Laxus had inherited his great-grandfather's magic from a generation past.

That's definitely something to be happy about.

Hope couldn't help Laxus with this kind of magic inherited from his bloodline, but since he was already half-awakened, it was only a matter of time before Laxus fully awakened 'Crimson Lightning'.

After passing on several health-preserving secrets to Makarov, Hope finally ended his week-long journey of strengthening himself, and now the guild members have all become stronger.

Moreover, as they digest the knowledge gained from the 'ancient texts,' their magic will only become more powerful.

Laxus, unusually, thanked Hope before heading off to find the Thors.

In two months, it will be the day of the guild's S-rank mage promotion exam. He plans to take his three fans to take on a few challenging S-rank missions that require combat, treating it as special training.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Hope."

After watching his grandson and the Thors leave, Makarov changed the subject, "However, after much thought, I have another matter I would like to trouble you with."

Hope was somewhat surprised, because judging from Makarov's expression, it seemed that what he wanted to ask of him was probably not official business, otherwise there would have been no need to wait until Laxus left to ask.

It was rare to see the old man reveal his selfish thoughts, so Hope agreed without hesitation. "Don't worry, Chairman. I'm very tight-lipped. Whether you want me to kill or rob, I guarantee that no one but the two of us will know."

"You brat, you're making fun of this old man."

Makarov was taken aback by Hope's rambling, then pushed a crumpled piece of paper in front of him. "I need you to go to this place, destroy the Dark Guild there, and then bring someone back."

"Oh?"

Hope looked at the address coordinates on the small piece of paper, not caring about the so-called Dark Guild, but rather very interested in the person Makarov mentioned, "Who exactly is this person? That you, Guild Master, need me to deal with him personally."

After a moment of silence, Makarov slowly spoke: "His name is Ivan, and he is... my son."

It was him.

When Hope arrived at Fairy Tail, in order to integrate quickly, she subtly gathered information about some guilds, including this Ivan.

I heard it from the corner of Marcao's mouth after he lost a drinking contest with Cana.

About a decade or so ago, Ivan did something that seriously violated the guild rules, forcing Makarov to expel his own son from the guild.

But strangely, no one knows what Ivan actually did, and Makarov never explained it afterward.

However, the problem must be very serious, otherwise Makarov would not have disregarded family ties and made such a resolute choice.

Looking at the thirst for knowledge in Hope's eyes, the old man stroked the bald patch on his head. "Hope, you are trustworthy. Once you bring my good-for-nothing son back, I can take you to see..."

"A secret that our guild cannot reveal..."
