Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Withdrawing his hand, Hope's gaze toward Natsu and Gajeel became strange. He could sense that the Dragon Slayer Magic of these two had undergone a qualitative change under the influence of the massive magical power.

They... activated the "Dragon Power".

Chapter 115 The Power of the Dragon

Natsu and Gajeel could be said to have benefited from misfortune.

When the Wise Dragon Belserion taught Hope the "Holy Dragon Slayer" magic, he also passed on the relevant knowledge of Dragon Slayer magic to him.

Dragon Slayer Magic imbues humans with the power of dragons, enabling them to use dragon power to fight dragons. The most crucial step to truly unleash this power is to awaken "Dragon Power."

After activating "Dragon Power," the Dragon Slayer Mage's magic power will be amplified and they will enter a powerful burst state, thus greatly enhancing their strength.

However, Hope's "Dragon Power" showed no interest whatsoever.

Great power always comes with risks; just look at Mr. Ryo Marufuji next door, he's still in a wheelchair.

"Dragon Power" can greatly increase the strength of Dragon Slayer Mages for a short period of time, but it also comes with a negative effect that is difficult for humans to accept—dragonization.

It's no secret that Dragon Slayer Magic can transform a Dragon Slayer Mage into a dragon, because Dragon Slayer Magic slowly alters the user's body, causing it to transform into a dragon form.

In reality, many Dragon Slayer Mages never transform into dragons in their entire lives unless they overuse "Dragon Power".

"Dragon Power" can indeed enhance a Dragon Slayer Mage's strength in a short period of time, but it will also greatly accelerate the rate at which Dragon Slayer Magic modifies the body.

If the power of the dragon is used frequently, it may take less than 10 years for the dragon to fully transform into a real dragon.

Although becoming a dragon will make you much stronger.

But such a price was somewhat unacceptable to Hope.

Most people still want to live as "humans." After all, not everyone can be like Dio, confidently and loudly proclaiming, "I'm not human anymore."

The magic circle dissipated, and Natsu and Gajeel woke up.

However, because they had been thoroughly exhausted by the overwhelming amount of magic, they were still somewhat weak, and it seemed they would have to spend the rest of their vacation in bed.

Hope did not hide anything and told everyone about the "Dragon Power".

"What?! Such a great thing?! I'm so excited!"

Natsu, who had been listless, immediately became excited.

At the same time, Gajeel nodded in satisfaction and said smugly, "As expected of me, you've gotten stronger again!"

Before the two finished speaking, they each received a heavy blow from Erza. "Hope told you about the power of dragons not to make you fight each other, but to make you careful not to overuse the power of dragons!"

Did you hear that?

Under pressure from the boss's authority, Natsu nodded as frequently as a chick pecking at rice.

Gajeel, however, thought he had grown too powerful and actually tried to fight back, only to have Erza punch him so hard that his head was shoved into the ground, making Cana, who was standing nearby, shudder.

Kana swallowed hard and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Happy.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Erza teaches Natsu and Gajeel a lesson, it will be the turn of these two "accomplices".

Just as Cana and Happy were trying to sneak away while Erza was scolding Natsu, they heard a familiar roar coming from not far away.

"Natsu! Gajeel! Cana! Happy!"

"You bunch of idiots—!!!"

"And you brat Hope! You actually kept it from me too!"

An enraged Makarov strode over, and the four people and the cat froze on the spot. When they saw Mirajane behind Makarov, they knew that Makarov already knew about their affair.

Hope sighed. He had brought Erza here without telling Makarov, but Mirajane had gone to inform the old man.

"We're doomed," Natsu muttered.

Gajeel, once again defeated by Erza, nodded.

Happy had already spread his wings, ready to run away at any moment. "Eek! The president seems really angry. Should we run away?"

Hope and Kana exchanged a glance and said in unison:

"Run!"

The figures of young boys and girls ran wildly on the beach, with Makarov waving his huge fist behind them, and their companions who couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The second day of the holiday ended in such a chaotic manner.

......

......

The air was scorching, the volcano was boiling, and the sky was filled with thick, crimson smoke.

This is someone's mental realm.

A gray ball of light entered the space, its metallic sheen clashing with the crimson world, and was quickly spotted by the beings dwelling in the spiritual realm.

"Medalicana, what are you doing here?"

"Entry is prohibited here, and you are not allowed to interfere. Get out of here immediately!"

A majestic and steady voice resounded throughout the spiritual realm, but the gray light did not retreat because of the other party's impoliteness. Instead, it continued to advance and arrived at a huge volcano with churning lava.

Looking at the enormous creature's open eyes in the magma, the gray light murmured and said, "I'm not that Grandine guy who likes to visit other people's houses. Do you think I wanted to see you, Igniel?"

"Humph!"

The enormous fire dragon in the magma straightened up, its eyes meeting the gray light. "Medalicana, why aren't you keeping a close eye on your little brat? What are you doing here?"

"Because I sensed you nearby."

The gray ball of light said, "You noticed it too, didn't you? Those two kids were really reckless, acting without considering the consequences. Fortunately, they turned out to be a blessing in disguise and awakened the power of the dragon."

The giant fire dragon remained silent.

The gray ball of light continued, "I don't know if you noticed the child who helped them. He's also a Dragon Slayer Mage, but strangely, he has the scent of an old acquaintance of ours."

"Belcelion, I don't know what methods he used, but he was able to pass on the 'Holy Dragon Slayer' more than 400 years after his death."

"Do you think we should try visiting that child's spiritual realm? Maybe Belserion is there?"

"Enough!!"

The fire dragon roared, "Medalicana, when did you become so curious? Don't interfere with humans!"

"Or do you want to anger me, Igniel?!"

With the roar of the enormous fire dragon, the entire spiritual realm trembled, countless volcanoes erupted, and the sky was filled with scorching sparks, as if it were the end of the world.

After a few seconds of silence, the gray light cluster spoke, "What a domineering fire dragon king! But don't worry, I was just saying that. After all, we still need to accumulate power."

“Jeref’s situation… never mind, let’s not talk about him.”

"In seven years, it will be the 'Dragon King Festival.' Let's meet again then, Ignir..."

The gray light dissipated, and as the giant fire dragon closed its eyes, the spiritual realm also fell silent.

Chapter 116 Mildian Magic Academy

half a month later.

Beyond the eastern border of the Kingdom of Fiore lies a no-man's-land surrounded by the territories of four countries.

Unlike Twilight Town, which is also a no-man's-land, the forces in this land are those that any country would want to recruit, but no country dares to give them orders.

Even the council, which prides itself on being the guardians of order in the magical world, treats everyone with utmost politeness.

Because this place has been a sacred land of magic on the continent of Ishgar for thousands of years.

——Mildian Magic Academy.

Over the centuries, this land has long been fully developed.

After passing through the beautiful surrounding scenery, Hope and Erza came to a large open city that rivaled Magnolia in size. If they hadn't known beforehand, they might have really thought it was a city rather than a magic academy.

Various novel magical technologies are interspersed among the magical-style buildings, giving them a sense of depth and sophistication.

Looking at those high-end, elegant buildings, Erza couldn't help but exclaim, "What an amazing place!"

As soon as the words were spoken, ripples appeared in the space in front of the two, and an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a dark blue mage's robe, stepped out of thin air.

The badge on his chest is inlaid with three stars, symbolizing the highest-level three-star instructor status in the academy.

"Guests who have come from afar."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, his gaze lingering on Hope for a moment. "I am Gladstone, an elder of the Mildian Magic Academy. Hearing that President Makarov's descendant had arrived, the dean specially asked me to come and greet him here."

Erza also bowed, "Elder Gladstone, we've come here to..."

"To shatter the ridiculous arrogance of some in our academy." Gladstone stroked his gray beard.

Erza was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the other party to be so blunt. She had thought that the elders of the magic academy would at least consider the academy's reputation.

After all, "magical exchange" sounds much better than "challenging the dojo"...

Clearly, Elder Gladstone also wanted to change the academy's arrogant atmosphere. He said gently, "No need for further words. Please come with me. The Dean is already waiting for you."

If you disregard their aloof attitude towards outside mages, Mildian Magic Academy is actually a really great institution.

The students discussed magic earnestly, and the instructors delivered engaging, interesting, and entertaining lessons.

In combat training, instructors provide personal guidance from the sidelines, and they also lend a hand when students are working. Students also step in to help instructors when they encounter difficulties.

What a harmonious scene between teachers and students!

Hope and Erza's attire, different from the school uniforms, coupled with the "Fairy Tail" guild crest, immediately made them the two most eye-catching figures on the school's path.

If only they didn't look at us two outsiders with disdain...

If it weren't for Gladstone, the academy's elder, Hope felt that the teachers and students would have already come looking for trouble.

"Your college is really xenophobic."

Hope couldn't help but complain, "What are they so arrogant about?"

Erza opened her mouth, intending to tell Hope to be more polite, but the thought of all the disdain she had received since entering the academy shattered her positive impression of the school.

Gladstone sighed helplessly, saying as he walked, "Actually, our academy wasn't this xenophobic thirty years ago, until the last dean..."
