Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

and many more......

Ulu... Ulutia...

Hope suddenly realized that he had only just discovered such an obvious clue: that Ultia was definitely deeply connected with Ultia!

It seems I'll have to go back and ask Gray if his master still has any family.

Huh? Why does my back feel a little cold?

When Hope came to her senses, she found the other three looking at her strangely. She subconsciously touched her face. "Is there something on my face?"

Erza: "Not on my face."

Gladstone: "But just now there was a vaguely visible humanoid figure behind you."

Hyberion said somewhat seriously, "Hope, have you been bothered by something unclean lately? The thing behind you just now seemed to be a spirit."

Hope frowned.

What a joke, a ghost actually dares to haunt me.

Doesn't he know that I am of pure Yang nature?

However, Hope now had an important question. He looked at Erza and the other two with a serious expression, "Was the ghostly figure behind me just now... male or female?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them were so shocked that they staggered.

Even Hayberian, who always paid attention to his appearance, didn't care about his image and slumped on the sofa like Ge You.

Erza sighed, if it weren't for saving Hope's face, she would have punched him already. Everyone was concerned about him, but this guy was concerned about the gender of the demon.

Isn't this ridiculous?

The oldest among them, Gladstone, remained composed. He coughed lightly and steered the conversation back on track, "Hope, if possible, I would like to ask you to assist me in completing the experiment of activating the 'Second Source of Magic'."

Hope nodded in agreement. Her purpose in coming to Mildian Magic Academy, besides collecting magic, was to find the "second source of magic".

Seeing that Hope agreed, Gladstone added, "Thank you. I will be the test subject this time, so please don't feel too much pressure."

Hope's vision went black.

Don't feel pressured?

My blood pressure went up the moment you said that!

What kind of research supervisor personally acts as the experimental subject...?

Hyberion was also shocked by Gladstone's words and immediately advised, "Teacher, you don't need to do it yourself. I'm the most suitable person to do this..."

Before Hayberion could finish speaking, Gladstone glared at him, and he immediately shut up.

"Hyberion, you are the headmaster of Mildian Magic Academy and a member of the Ten Wizard Saints of Ishgar. You bear the responsibility of protecting this continent. There are some things that are not your responsibility, nor should you be allowed to do them. Do you understand?"

Seeing Gladstone's somewhat angry expression, Hayberry nodded and said nothing more.

This scene struck Hope and Erza as odd.

However, Gladstone quickly diverted their attention, and the four of them went to the experimental area of ​​the Dean's building where magic was being studied.

Seeing Gladstone lie down on the experimental table, Hope hesitated for a moment. "Senior, why don't you let me do it? You said it yourself, the process of using time magic to activate the second magic source will be very painful."

"No need."

Gladstone spoke with a calm and confident expression, "This old man has experienced far more pain in his life than I would be defeated by such a trivial pain."

Seeing that the white-bearded old man had said so, Hope didn't stand on ceremony. Under Hyberion's worried gaze, he activated "Arc of Time" on Gladstone.

A series of blue-green patterns instantly appeared on Gladstone's body, acting on the magic within him through his flesh.

Then......

The classic series of screams from Talking Tom that Gladstone made echoed throughout the entire Dean's Building.

Fifteen minutes later, Gladstone collapsed unconscious on the lab table, foaming at the mouth, but his magic power had increased by about a third.

The second magic source experiment is complete.

But the process itself...

Hyberion looked at Hope, who looked embarrassed, and said, "Don't worry, the teacher had anticipated this situation. The experiment was a success. Thank you."

"The third floor of the Dean's building has guest rooms. You and Erza should go and rest first. It's not convenient for me here, please forgive me."

Hope didn't say anything and left the testing area with Erza.

After the two left, Gladstone opened his eyes on the lab table, sat up, and gave Hyberion a wry smile. "What a fool I am. I almost peed my pants. If I had known it would hurt this much, I would have let you do it."

Hyberion shrugged. "It's because you're too strong-willed, teacher."

Gladstone smiled calmly. "Indeed, an overly strong personality blinds me to my mistakes; otherwise, you wouldn't have broken my legs in the end..."

"By the way, that young man named Hope is not simple."

"At tomorrow's magic exchange, let's call those problematic tutors to participate as well, and have that kid help teach them a lesson."

Chapter 119 The Fairy of the Ivory Tower

The room in the Dean's building used to entertain distinguished guests.

Erza sat on the sofa, gazing at the view through the large French windows. "Hope, Elder Gladstone, and Dean Hayberion..."

"Yes, you've noticed it too, haven't you?"

While munching on the academy's special fruit, Hope said, "Greston is the former dean. When I used 'Time Arc' on him, I discovered that his legs were magical prosthetics."

"What a complicated master-disciple relationship."

Erza didn't understand, but Hope did.

Such ideological clashes have always been like this, and they don't take into account the master-disciple relationship. In the previous world, he watched as two brothers turned against each other because of their respective ideologies.

However, Gladstone's relationship with Hayberry was a hundred times better than that of the brothers.

Gladstone is now working as Heyberion's assistant, presumably persuaded by his good student on both ideological and physical grounds.

Hope patted the large sofa. "Erza, let me help you activate the 'Second Magic Source'. Don't worry, I have experience now, it won't hurt you much."

"Don't make such a lewd face when you say that, okay?" Erza suspected that Hope just wanted to see her lying on the bed covered in sweat.

But she wouldn't give Hope that chance.

"Actually, I've already activated my second magic source, so don't waste your time."

"Eh--"

Hope's face fell instantly. He had just been thinking that he would rush up and hug Erza when she cried out in pain, but it turned out that it was just wishful thinking on his part.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

The wise dragon Belserion once speculated that Erza stayed in her mother Irene's womb for nearly 400 years before being born.

Having absorbed 400 years of nourishment, Erza already had a huge advantage, so it's perfectly reasonable that she could awaken a "second magic source" without any instruction.

Since she doesn't need it, Hope will have to take matters into her own hands.

After greeting Erza, Hope retreated to his room, locked the door, and added three layers of soundproofing.

The main reason was that when Gladstone activated his second magic source, the old man with the white beard screamed horribly, and Hope didn't want others to see such an embarrassing scene.

He has his pride too.

Once prepared, Hope unleashed the "arc of time" upon herself.

In an instant, intense pain spread throughout his body along with blue-green magical runes, causing Hope to open his mouth, close his eyes, and convulse on the ground.

Unlike Gladstone, Hope's second magic source lasted for a full two hours.

But the rewards were beyond imagination.

As Hope felt the immense magical power surging within him, he felt that his two hours of cosplaying as Talking Tom had not been in vain.

Each mage has a different physique, and their total magical power varies greatly.

Due to differences in physical constitution, they can only use about 50% or 60% of their total magic power, while powerful mages can use even more.

The essence of developing a "second magic source" is to increase the utilization rate of total magic power to 100%.

Hope originally only had access to less than half of her total magic power, so although she was an agent of the council, she was just an ordinary person.

But the situation is different now.

Hope, a transmigrator, uses the system to master magic and become a mage. While the magic is being used, it also affects the mage himself, making his body adapt to the magic's performance. This will affect the opening of the second magic source.

However, Hope knows too much magic.

This caused him to encounter numerous obstacles on his path to unlocking the second source of magic, taking him a full two hours to complete.

Feeling his magical power increase by almost twenty times, Hope was incredibly excited. Now he would no longer be exhausted after casting a few powerful spells.

While he still can't compare to monsters like Erza with bottomless blue bars, Hope has far surpassed ordinary mages in terms of magical power.

......

......

Time quickly passed to the next day.

The Northern Circus Arena of Mildian Magic Academy.

The towering stands surrounding the arena were filled with students and instructors in uniform academy attire, their gazes toward the center of the arena a mixture of curiosity and undisguised contempt.

"I really don't understand what the dean was thinking. How dare a wild mage from the guild come to our academy for magical exchange? Isn't this just making a fool of himself?"

"You're right, aren't you, Rabbit Maru-sensei?"

A blond boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a red top hat, looked at the teacher who had recently returned to the academy, seemingly seeking his approval.

But Rabbit Maru's face was grim. The guy in the center of the arena reminded him of something bad. That groin kick he received back then still caused him some phantom pain.

Rabbit Maru looked at the blond boy, "Rufus, you'll see it clearly in a moment."

"See what clearly?" the blond boy asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Make sure you can see that guy's magic and moves clearly."

Rabbit Maru looked at Rufus with a serious expression, "Your 'Memory Shape' is the highest-level shape magic. If it were you, you might be able to defeat that monster one day."
