A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira scoffed, "Don't be nervous. If anything happens, I'm here! A mere demon can be wiped out with a flick of my wrist!"

Seeing that Cana was somewhat skeptical, Kira had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move: "We're Fairy Tail!"

"Ok."

Kana stopped worrying about it.

Kira: "..."

Chapter 17 Kira's Operation

Urutia, standing to the side, seemed somewhat at a loss, not expecting things to develop in such an unexpected direction.

What do I do now? I was originally thinking of helping this ice-making brat out, but it turns out the other side didn't even try to stop the ritual. So, I just showed up for nothing?

Should I just leave like this? Or should I test Kira's abilities? But he seems to know something; should I stay and see?

Just as they were hesitating, a voice came: "Speaking of which, how did you do that? How could you convert the power of the moon when no one was performing the ritual?"

It was Gray who was speaking.

Urudia said with some pride, "I simply changed the timing of the moonlight."

Apart from Kira, whom everyone else had already heard of before, everyone else present was completely clueless.

"time?"

"Hehehe... That's right, my Arc of Time magic can change the time of objects. I just accelerated the transformation of moonlight. At this rate, the power of the moon will be enough in another hour or two."

Ultear was still basking in the glory of her magic when she heard Kira's voice, which was pretending to be quiet but was actually very clear.

"Listen, Cana, Loki, Gray, remember this! When fighting mages in the future, never let your enemy know all your abilities easily! This person in front of you is a bad example. I just tricked her into revealing my abilities with just a few words. How stupid."

Urudia: "..."

“Oh, it might not work on Gray and Loki. Their magic is already set in stone and its characteristics are too obvious. But you are different, Cana. Card magic is very dependent on others, but it is also a very comprehensive form of magic. So even if the enemy knows that you are a mage who uses card magic, they will not know what cards you have in your hand.”

"When you're in battle, you need to decide which card to use based on the time, place, your opponent's magic, and personality. You absolutely cannot limit yourself to a single fighting style."

Things have progressed to this point, if I don't show off my skills, people will think that I'm just a nobody who doesn't deserve the title of S-class mage!

With some time still remaining before the absolute freeze is lifted, Kira, noticing the others' boredom, began his lesson.

Of course, Kira didn't think this was showing off. It was something that had been agreed upon beforehand. This mission was meant to let them experience the difference between themselves and S-class mages. The key was to get them to do things!

If you can't find an opportunity, create one yourself!

Only when you have a clear understanding of your own situation can you know what you lack.

Just like Kana... what you're missing is my newly released card deck!

I'm taking 50 J!

Kira, like a teacher, patiently guided him: "Take this guy of unknown origin in front of us, for example. His magic can control matter and time. If you encounter an enemy like this, how would you deal with him?"

“Unlike when you usually charge in headfirst when you fight, becoming an S-class mage requires more than just strength. You also need sufficient insight, intelligence analysis ability, quick reflexes, and combat wisdom.”

Gray thought of the ice that had just vanished: "But what should I do..."

They cooperated very well; this group of students really gave me, their teacher, face.

Kira pretended to be very serious in his analysis: "Look, she can change the time of objects, so why not just manipulate absolute freeze directly? Why not just use this trick to age us?"

"This proves at least two things: first, her magic has its limits; and second, it is ineffective against life, at least against humans."

Ultear felt offended, but chuckled and praised, "Truly worthy of the legendary 'sage,' seeing through this immediately. But even if you know, what can you do?"

"Now that you know, things are much easier! Since it's ineffective against the human body, let's just go for close-quarters combat! Get close to him and teach him a lesson with our fists!"

Rocky laughed and said, "Oh!! Isn't that our forte!"

"But how are you going to get close to me?"

Ultear cast a spell on the ground, causing the land to collapse, then recover, rise up again, and then crack into stones. The stones floated in the air as if time had stopped, and then approached Kira at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, rotating around him in a 360-degree circle.

His magical manipulation skills stunned everyone present. The entire process was extremely smooth, and there was no sense of magical stagnation during the changes. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was using earth magic.

Aside from Kira, everyone else looked grave, especially Leon, who began to wonder what purpose such a person had in joining his team. He didn't believe that someone capable of such powerful magic would revive Deliora just to control it—that was utter nonsense.

According to what he just said, the ice will melt, and his magic will be completely countered by Geralt. Was he too confident when he said he would deal with him?

"See? You can't even get close to me..."

Before Ultear could finish speaking, Kira attacked!

Everyone present had the same thought: Why does this person always interrupt others?

"Rapid Strike!" "Heavy Strike!"

Instant casting!

Two states were simultaneously applied to Kira's hands and feet. Then, he raised his right hand forward and broke through the stone circle in a 'Superman' pose, flying towards Ultear at an extremely fast speed!

"What?!" Urutia was caught off guard and had no time to react. She could only frantically wave her hands in front of her to block.

The fist grew larger and larger, but stopped at the last moment! It was less than 5 centimeters away from Urutia's face!

The powerful gust of wind from the punch ruffled my hair and clothes, but it didn't hit my face. Thank goodness, it seems he was just using my magic teaching or showing off, and didn't intend to get serious with me.

The breath he had been holding in immediately eased: "Truly worthy of it..."

Bang! ! !

Before Urudia could react, she saw the pitch-black night sky and the eerie purple moonlight.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight! My face just hurts a little though!

Kira blew on his retracted fist, turned to the stunned group, and said, "See that? That's it! Don't limit yourself to a particular fighting style. Fighting is about surprise, catching your opponent off guard, and defeating them in one move!"

Is it because you defy traditional combat patterns and strike while others are explaining and thinking that you can become an S-class mage?

If Kira knew what everyone was thinking, he would definitely say without hesitation: Yes!

"I thought your Word of Power magic was just a physical weapon, I didn't expect it could also apply status effects?"

Urudia, lying on the ground, was questioning the meaning of life, muttering, "Concrete...Additional..."

“Concretization is merely the most rudimentary application! The true essence of Word Magic lies in the control of language and words! Remember the creation of magical items I mentioned before? It's done in this way that effects are added.”

Chapter 18 Deliora's Imminent Awakening

What are language and writing?

That is the transmission of information by intelligent life, the definition of all things in the world, and the crystallization of their wisdom!

Whether human or demon, dragon or celestial, every race has its own language and script!

Word magic is precisely the magic that utilizes these languages ​​and words!

Magic is a means of harnessing the world's energy and is one of the manifestations of civilization. And in this world, nothing embodies civilization better than language and writing!

Compared to Word Magic, other magic is as rudimentary as the wooden sticks and stone tools used by savages!

Yes, that's right, that's it!

"The strongest Word Magician!!"

What is this guy trying to say? Why is he suddenly so agitated? Did I say something to offend him?

Compared to the others, Ultear was even more bewildered: "Ahem...you bastard..."

My face hurts so much! It's going to swell up, isn't it?

Ultear couldn't understand it. Was this guy's thought process messed up? Why did he suddenly attack? Shouldn't they have exchanged a few words first, confirmed each other's attitudes, then shown off their magic, and finally started fighting?

Kira said dismissively, "What does it matter? Your ultimate goal is to control Deliora anyway, which is different from ours."

"Hmph! I was careless just now, let's try again..."

Kira confidently declared, "Even if we try again, you still can't beat me!"

That bastard! Can't he just let people finish what they're saying?

Kira didn't care what Ultear was thinking; all he wanted to do right now was show off his skills!

"slow!"

"Intense pressure!"

"weak!"

"Magic drain!"

With a wave of her hand, four weakened status effects were activated. Ultear immediately felt a heavy weight pressing down on her, just like when she faced the gravity magic of her guild's vice president, Bruno. The gravity pressed down on her so much that she could not move at all.

A strong sense of weakness filled my body, as if I had been hit by my own time magic. My body became extremely slow, and it was extremely difficult to even move a step. At the same time, my magic power began to drain away in large quantities, and even the casting of spells was hindered. I almost couldn't maintain my transformation spell.

How could that be?

This state lasted for nearly a minute before Kira stopped his magic and said, "It seems your Arc of Time has no effect on magic applied to the body."

"Therefore, giant magic is your nemesis!"

Giant magic? The guild master seems to use this kind of magic.

Ultear, never one to mince words, sneered, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't easily reveal your magic to your opponents? Is it really a good idea to just show off your magic like this?"

Isn't this just to show off in front of others?

"This is just one application of the power of words magic. Do you think I would use my trump card so easily? Besides, how do you know this isn't a spell I deliberately revealed to lure you into a trap?"

Kira was clearly making things up, but Ultear believed him: "You're so filthy! I almost thought you were one of the Dark Guild members!"

Kira remained unmoved by Ultear's sarcasm, saying, "Fairy Tail is practically a dark guild, isn't it?"

The founders of the guild were all students of Zeref. Hades, the guild master of "Devil's Heart," was the second guild master of "Fairy Tail." So, they were all "family."

The guild's three super spells, "Fairy Law," "Fairy Radiance," and "Fairy Sphere," are all incredibly powerful, leaving no chance for the enemy to survive. Coupled with the guild's arrogant attitude of completely disregarding the council and their habit of frequently damaging public property while doing quests...

But we really are good people, "we are Fairy Tail."
