Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Only these two doors, which are violently kicked open every day, have remained standing until now.

This made Hope sometimes want to take the door off and study it.

Natsu strode to the center of the hall, holding up the signed mission request form, and shouted with great enthusiasm, "Listen up, everyone! We've completed an S-rank mission!"

The guild was silent for a second, then erupted into an even louder uproar.

"What? An S-rank mission?"

"Natsu? No way!"

"So Erza was here too, that makes sense..."

"..."

Hearing his companions' discussion, Natsu jumped onto a table in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Hey! What kind of reaction is that? This mission was completed by me, Lucy, Happy, Hope, Gray, and I! Erza didn't lift a finger the whole time!"

Gray crossed his arms and sneered, "You show-off, flame idiot, talking like you're trying your best."

"What did you say, you ice cube bastard!"

Just as the two were about to start fighting again, Erza gave them a look, and Natsu and Gray froze instantly, standing obediently in place.

Mirajane walked over with a smile. "Welcome back, everyone. It seems the mission went very smoothly."

Erza nodded, then asked, "Mirajin, is the guild master here?"

"Oh, the president is handling complaint letters on the third floor."

Erza turned to Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy, "The four of you come with me to see the guild master."

Lucy looked guilty, after all, she, Natsu, and Happy had taken on an S-rank mission without permission, which, according to guild rules, would mean they would be expelled from the guild.

Watching the group ascend the stairs, Hope sat down at the counter and asked Mirajane curiously, "Will Natsu and the others really be expelled from the guild?"

Mirajane asked with a smile, "Why do you think the guild master later sent Erza to find them?"

"Could it be that Gray didn't bring Natsu and the others back...?"

Hope paused, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. With Erza, an S-class mage, participating in this S-class mission, this matter can be minimized."

Mirajane sat next to Hope, leaning against the counter with her chin propped up by her hand, and said with a mischievous grin, "This morning, Granny Poliusica sent a message saying that if someone doesn't deliver the moonflower this afternoon..."

Hope was startled, then remembered Poliusica's request. He quickly grabbed his bag and rushed to the eastern forest outside the city.

Chapter 42 Mirajane's Past

The boy's running figure created a gust of wind on the streets of Magnolia, attracting the attention of passersby, but they couldn't see anything.

"Hey! Did something just 'whoosh' past just now?"

"They must be from Fairy Tail."

"That's perfectly normal."

"......"

Using his "divine speed," Hope quickly arrived at the wooden house deep in the eastern forest under the midday sun. He leaned against the door frame and called out, "Grandma Poliusicaa, I brought back the Moonflower!"

The wooden door creaked open from the inside, and Polyusica stood there expressionless. "So hasty. I'm not even worried, why are you in such a rush?"

Hope was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Didn't you send a message to Mirajane saying that the moonflowers had to be delivered by this afternoon?"

“I never said that.”

Grandma Poliusika crossed her arms and gave a rare smile. "I think you've probably been fooled by Mirajane. Even though that girl's personality has changed drastically, her cunning nature is still what she is."

So you were just being pranked...

After realizing what was happening, Hope's fist hardened.

That little devil in angel's skin, I'll definitely get my revenge on her when I get back.

Hope carefully took out the moonflower, which was preserved in a special glass bottle, from her bag. "Grandma Poliusica, this moonflower you wanted was carefully selected by me."

Poliusika took the glass bottle, her gaze lingering on the moonflower for a moment. After confirming the quality was correct, she nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad. You've completed the task satisfactorily. Come in and collect your reward."

"I've just finished making lunch, you can have some too."

Hope looked up at the midday sun, then at Poliusica who had turned and gone into the house, and couldn't help but smile. She was still a kind-hearted old lady despite her cold exterior.

Poliusica's lunch was quite ordinary, consisting of one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a soup.

Hope wasn't hungry. The lavish feast on Garna Island last night had left him feeling full, so he only ate a little. Otherwise, with his appetite, the old lady probably wouldn't have even licked the plate clean.

The meal passed by quietly and peacefully.

Poliusica took out a cloth bag and tossed it to Hope. "These are 'sunflower' seeds. After they bloom, they will automatically absorb sunlight and convert it into magic orbs that mages can directly absorb."

"Remember to plant it in a sunny spot."

Hope weighed the bag of sunflower seeds in her hand, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Grandma Poliusica, what did you mean when you said Mirajane's personality had changed drastically?"

"You do not know?"

Polyusika instinctively asked a question, but then immediately realized, "I forgot, you only joined Fairy Tail this month, so it's understandable that you don't know Mirajane's past."

Poliuska sighed softly and began to tell Hope about Mirajane's past.

"About six years ago, news spread in a village that a child was possessed by a demon. Makarov, that busybody, happened to be passing by and went to see for himself."

"When he arrived, he discovered that the truth was completely different from the rumors. It wasn't a demon possessing a human; rather, a little girl named Mirajane had unintentionally awakened the 'receive' magic and received the power of a demon's soul."

"Because they didn't know how to control magic and encountered a group of ignorant villagers, Mirajane and her younger siblings suffered a lot of rejection."

Mirajane has a younger sister?!

Hope was somewhat surprised, but why hadn't Mirajane and Elfman ever mentioned it to him? Thinking back to what Porlyusica had said about Mirajane's drastic personality change, he had a vague idea.

Poliusyka's story continues.

"Makarov brought Mirajane, her brother Elfman, and her sister Lisanna back to the guild, and Fairy Tail gained three more members."

"Mirajin has a strong and warlike personality. She sees Erza as her rival, and the two are always fighting. Just think of Natsu and Gray and you'll understand."

A female version of Natsu and Gray...?

But Hope still couldn't reconcile the image of that gentle, beautiful girl with her ever-present sunny smile with that of the violent, mentally unstable younger sister.

The contrast is just too great.

According to Porlyusicaä, Mirajane passed the S-class exam in her third year with Fairy Tail, becoming the third S-class mage among the guild's younger generation.

With her fierce fighting style and ability to receive demon soul magic, Mirajane earned the title of "Demon" in the magic world in less than a year.

However, her good fortune didn't last long. In her second year as an S-class mage, Mirajane, along with her younger siblings, accepted an S-class mission to defeat the monster "Beast King".

However, due to Mirajane's carelessness and underestimation of her opponent, she was severely injured by the Beast King's near-death counterattack. In order to protect her sister and younger sister, Elfman used "Full Body Absorption" to forcibly absorb the Beast King's soul.

However, due to the overwhelming power of the S-class magical beast, Elfman went berserk and, in a state of unconsciousness, accidentally killed his sister Lisanna, who came to stop him.

Mirajane and Elfman were devastated to see their sister's body turn into specks of light and disappear before their eyes, and their personalities changed drastically from that moment on.

Mirajane, who was originally warlike, became gentle and cheerful.

The timid Elfman aspires to become a man.

But Lisanna's death became an unresolved knot in their hearts, with guilt, regret, self-blame, and remorse deeply affecting them.

Elfman, who obtained the "Soul of the Beast King," should have become even stronger, but because he was afraid of the nightmare repeating itself, he only dared to receive a portion of the "Beast King's" power, resulting in only a mediocre increase in strength.

Mirajane, unable to overcome her inner turmoil, suffered a psychological trauma that caused her magic to stagnate, rendering her unable to use magic any longer. She withdrew from the front lines and became a guild administrator and receptionist.

Stories of losing loved ones are always sad.

Hope had already experienced this firsthand before her first time traveling through time.

......

After saying goodbye to Granny Poliusica, Hope strolled back to the guild. As she passed through the gate, she was greeted by a face with a sunny smile.

Welcome back.

Mirajane looked at Hope with a smug grin, a hint of mischievousness in her smile.

Hope didn't reply, only looked at her with calm eyes.

Mirajane subconsciously touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face that you've been staring at?"

"nothing......"

Hope spoke slowly, "I just think Mirajane looks really beautiful today."

Mirajane glanced at her outfit subconsciously. It was still the same burgundy dress, the same high heels, and her hair was still tied up with a small tuft of bangs.

Is there anything different about me compared to yesterday?

But that guy didn't explain anything, which made people feel really uncomfortable.

When Mirajane met Hope's ambiguous, slightly smug expression again, she suddenly felt a slight warmth rising within her, and a certain emotion was brewing inside her.

This fluttering feeling...

A desire for intense collisions...

Oh, so you haven't fought in a long time and your fists are itching to get a fight.

Chapter 43 The Historian's Commission

"Hello, I would like to post a commission."

Just as Mirajane was struggling with the violent little devil inside her, a voice came from outside the door that Hope had partially blocked.

Looking back, I saw an old man wearing hiking gear.

Upon hearing that the old man had come to post a commission, Hope and Mirajane invited him into the guild.

At the counter, Hope poured the old man a glass of warm water, while Mirajane took out a pen and a blank request form from a drawer inside the counter and asked the old man, "Sir, what kind of request would you like to post? We Fairy Tail mages will do our best to complete it."

"Whether it's finished or not, I don't know, but I've heard about your guild's destructive power." The old man's sudden remark left Mirajane speechless.

That old man really knows how to talk.

Hope shook his head slightly. "Old sir, if you're not satisfied with Fairy Tail, you can go to other mage guilds. There's no need to force yourself."
