Loki seemed to be in the guild when he copied his companions' magic last time, but he didn't rush to "sell" the magic along with everyone else.
Loki didn't seem to be exactly rolling in money either, even though he was usually showered with attention by various wealthy women...
Chapter 86 The Starlight Like a Candle Fading in the Wind
"What's going on? Our handsome guy isn't indulging in romance today, and he's not even going to watch the excitement. That's really strange."
Hope quietly walked up to Loki and patted him on the shoulder.
Loki was startled, turned around and saw Hope, forced a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired lately."
"Oh~"
Hope's expression was playful. "Loki, although you're still young, you should be more restrained in that area, or you'll die from exhaustion sooner or later."
Loki paused for a moment, then gave a helpless wry smile. "Hope, I do date several beautiful women at the same time, but would you believe me if I said I never got to know them 'deeply'?"
Hope gave him a knowing look and lowered his voice, saying, "I used to collect some folk remedies for kidney tonification and aphrodisiacs back in my hometown. Loki, if you're interested..."
"No, no." Loki shook his head vigorously. If he ate anything else in his current state, he might die even faster. He wanted to hold on for a little longer.
Even seeing Loki's refusal, Hope let the joke pass at the opportune moment, "Speaking of which, when I copied everyone's magic last time, you seemed to be hiding far away. What, did you look down on my little bit of money?"
"Of course not!"
Loki instinctively retorted, then realized he had overreacted and softened his tone, "It's just that my magic isn't suitable for Hope to copy..."
Loki then tugged at the magic ring on his finger at Hope. He was a magician who relied entirely on the strength of his magic ring to fight.
Hope suddenly realized that Loki thought his magic was too poor to be worth earning 5 J.
How could someone be so considerate of their companions...?
Loki, you really...
Who are you kidding?
Although Hope hadn't spent much time with Loki, he knew that none of the people who could integrate into this guild were shy.
Even Lucy, who seems like a timid newcomer to the guild, has never been shy about being shameless when necessary.
When Lucy copied magic last time, she had a sudden idea to shake out her celestial spirits so that Hope could copy their power and make more money.
The idea was good, and Hope did try to replicate the power of the weakest Protoss, Canis Minor, but in the end, she found that the Protoss power could not be maintained and was automatically exhausted in the blink of an eye.
Later, Lucy summoned the Cancer Celestial Spirit, and they learned that Celestial Spirits born in the "Celestial Realm" cannot stay on Earth for long.
Because celestial spirits cannot replenish their energy on Earth, and they will die once the starlight within them is exhausted.
"Loki, don't be shy."
Hope rubbed her hands together. "I've copied magic that's even worse than yours before, and I don't mind. Why are you so concerned?"
"Come on, show me your magic, or don't blame me for using telepathy to read your mind."
Loki realized he was being watched, and if he couldn't satisfy this guy's curiosity, Hope might actually use mind-reading on him, which would be troublesome.
After all, he didn't want to upset his guildmates.
As Loki lit up the magic ring, Hope curiously reached out and touched his hand.
The moment they met, Hope was overwhelmed with shock.
That magic ring was a piece of junk magic that even an ordinary person could easily use. Loki simply activated the ring without using his own magic.
But Loki's perfunctory attitude was not enough to shock Hope.
To his astonishment, he sensed astral energy on Loki that only the Protoss possessed, and that astral energy was already flickering and almost extinguished.
Hope was certain that Loki was not a Celestial Mage.
Therefore, there is only one explanation for Loki's current situation.
He is not human; he is a Protoss from the Protoss realm... a Protoss.
Moreover, it was a Protoss that was about to run out of energy.
No wonder Loki always stops short of flirting; he's not even human.
Hope's expression remained unchanged. He slowly exhaled and decisively transferred 5 J to Loki, adding jokingly, "Fairy Tail is truly a place where hidden talents abound."
Loki thought Hope was teasing him and smiled.
Just then, the commotion in the backyard ended, and everyone returned in twos and threes, quickly reigniting the cheerful atmosphere in the hall.
The group of women who had been pursuing Loki returned. Hope didn't disturb them, but before getting up to leave, she said to him meaningfully, "Loki, we are all your companions."
"If you need any help, just let me know."
Loki's eyes flickered, but in the end he simply nodded silently.
When they returned to Makarov and Bellno's table, Erza and a bruised and battered Gajeel were also there. Erza shifted her position and patted the empty seat on Hope's shoulder.
Hope didn't stand on ceremony and sat down right next to Erza. Looking at Gajeel, whose gaze was wandering, she couldn't help but chuckle mischievously, "Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this Grandpa Iron Dragon? Why is your face swollen? Did you fall down by accident?"
"No way, really?"
That same smug tone again.
Gajeel hardened his fist, but when he thought about what he had gone through after being provoked by Hope like this last time, he could still vaguely feel the excruciating pain he had felt back then.
Seeing Gajeel become docile, Erza mercilessly exposed him, "I knocked him down in one move, and then, not to be outdone, challenged Natsu from among the onlookers, resulting in a draw."
After that, Gajeel became arrogant, saying that he could beat everyone except Erza and Hope in a one-on-one fight.
Such arrogance is unacceptable to everyone.
So they gave Gajeel the one-on-one duel he wanted: a group of them against Gajeel alone.
In fact, thanks to the properties of the "Iron Dragon Slayer" magic, which transforms the skin of the body into hard iron scales, there are very few people in the guild below S rank who can break Gajeel's defense.
But in the end, Gajeel was defeated by Levy's "magic text".
This literary-minded young girl was amazed by the method Hope used to defeat Gajeel and deeply understood that the best way to deal with Dragon Slayers was to use transportation.
So when a magical text-based "car" appeared under his feet, Gajeel was in trouble... He was seized by a group of people and thoroughly beaten up. In the end, it was the kind-hearted Levy who felt a little guilty and pulled the group away.
As Erza recounted Gajeel's embarrassing moments, Makarov and Bellno couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Gajeel had integrated into the guild much faster than they had imagined.
One more troublesome member joins the guild.
"Hope, take Gajeel to Mirajane and have our guild emblem stamped on him."
Makarov raised his glass. "Then, to celebrate the arrival of our new companions, and to celebrate the eleventh day since our victory over the Spectre! Let us begin today's feast!"
Hope sighed and rubbed his forehead. It was just defeating a Spectre Lord, why was this old man celebrating for a whole month...?
The guild's funds are crying!
What? So there was also over 100 million in compensation from the Ghosts? Then it's alright.
Chapter 87 The Fairy's Love?
Several more peaceful days passed.
With a look of utter despair, Gray forcefully pushed away the blue-haired woman who was clinging to him. "Hey! Gajeel, can't you control your partner?!"
"Huh? You actually need me to handle something like this?"
Gajeel glanced at Gray with disdain, then his gaze fell on Juvia beside him. "Juvia, with so many people watching, can't you be a little more reserved?"
"Jubia doesn't care."
As she spoke, Juvia started pestering Gray again.
Gajeel gave Gray a helpless look and then ran away, leaving Gray alone with a look of despair and regret.
He was wrong, wrong from the very beginning.
If he hadn't competed with Natsu and Cana for the right to challenge Juvia, he wouldn't have defeated her, wouldn't have caught her eye, and wouldn't have ended up having to check under his bed before sleeping...
The guild members were already used to Juvia harassing Gray.
The day after Gajeel joined Fairy Tail, Juvia offered herself to him. Because they had a good relationship in Phantom Troupe, the two of them teamed up to do missions together.
However, Juvia hasn't done a single mission in the past few days, but she hasn't stopped pestering Gray every single day, which can be described as obsessive.
A stripper and a love-obsessed woman.
These are all adjectives that sound terrible, but why do they create a strange sense of harmony when applied to these two people?
Behind the counter, Hope, who was covering for Mirajane, handed a glass of wine to Cana and couldn't help but complain, "I never expected that cold Juvia to become so enthusiastic. I feel like the Greys are about to collapse."
(They must be on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown.)
Cana, oblivious to Hope's underlying meaning, chuckled, "Of course, it was my idea to get Juvia to pursue Grey."
So you were the culprit all along...
Hope realized that although Juvia had feelings for Gray before, she had always kept a certain distance from him. The reason she was so enthusiastic now was because of the bad idea Cana had given her.
"If Gray finds out, he'll definitely come after you to the death."
Hearing Hope's words, Cana said dismissively, "Don't worry, Juvia will definitely win Gray over with this trick. I'm a veteran when it comes to dating!"
Battle-hardened?!
Looking at Kana's confident expression, Hope was surprised that this 18-year-old girl had already dated many boyfriends.
You can't judge a book by its cover; some people even prey on drunkards.
Driven by her gossip instincts, Hope subconsciously used telepathy to eavesdrop on Kana's inner thoughts, while simultaneously subtly guiding her: "So, Kana, how many boyfriends have you had?"
"Hahaha!"
Kana laughed smugly, "Boyfriends... I've lost count. What, do you want me to give you some tips on how to woo girls? Buy me a drink, and I'll offer free advice!"
As soon as the female drunkard finished speaking, Hope's expression turned strange. "Kana, actually I just used 'telepathy' on you."
"Your inner voice tells me that the number of boyfriends you've ever dated... is actually zero."
"And all your so-called rich dating experience is actually from romance novels."
When her boast was exposed, Kana's face instantly turned red. "Damn it, it's all that bastard Warren's fault. He shouldn't have let you copy the magic."
