A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira smiled confidently and said, "Tch! They're just the Ten Wizard Saints, a bunch of old fogies..."

"Um?!"

"Ahem, what I mean is, even among the Ten Wizard Saints, there are varying degrees of strength! Besides, how many Ten Wizard Saints have I fought?"

"But……"

Kira was still somewhat uneasy. He stepped forward and continued, "Gravity magic has no form and doesn't require getting close to the enemy to attack. From this perspective, your aging magic will be difficult to deal with effectively! Even if you win in the end, it will take a lot of time, so leave this person to me!"

"You know the academy's layout better than I do. Let's go check what areas have been damaged and carry out rescue operations for the teachers and students! It's important exam time right now, and those lovely juniors are rushing here!"

Konas seemed somewhat tempted: "Are you really okay with this?"

Kira smiled confidently: "Leave it to me!"

Seeing that the other party was very confident, Conas thought for a moment and had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, I'll go check out the situation first. Be careful yourself."

She withdrew her magic, picked up her gloves from the ground and put them back on, instantly returning to her original appearance—still with flowing blonde hair, a graceful white dress, and a fluttering cloak: "If you can't beat them, remember to call for help!"

"Do not worry!"

Konas nodded and walked past Bruno.

Bruno didn't stop him, but instead turned his gaze to Kira: "Kira Hopelight, I've heard of you. You're a well-known new generation member of Fairy Tail in recent years. I heard that you recently defeated two Wizards of the Ten."

One of them was defeated by Dispel, but he didn't know any of this. Kira didn't care and simply waved his hand and laughed, "Fame... fame... it's all just fleeting!"

"Can an enemy like you even fly?"

The deep voice continued, but the words spoken sounded like those of a delusional, nerdy otaku.

Fly? What do you mean by that?

Kira pondered for a moment, then tentatively replied in the same way he had spoken, "Do you want to fly too?"

Bruno seemed possessed, repeating the same sentence over and over: "Can I fly... or can't I fly..."

“That’s a question!” Kira replied smoothly and naturally, leaving Brunot stunned.

Kira didn't notice his opponent's distraction and simply said, "Whether you can or not... you'll find out after I defeat you!"

Magic erupts!

Boom! Thud!

Two incredibly powerful forces clashed in response.

Bruno's gravity, descending from above, nearly suffocated even Azuma, who was lying to the side; Kira's magic, on the other hand, created a buoyancy force from below, lifting up the scattered dust, gravel, stones, and wood chips on the ground, keeping them suspended in the air, ready to strike.

Seeing this, Brunot looked somewhat surprised: "You also know gravity magic?"

Kira chuckled softly: "Of course, that's not yours alone."

The young man and the boy exchanged sharp glances, each determined to outdo the other—it was the perfect time for them to prove themselves. In the next instant, a continuous torrent of gravity swept across the battlefield.

The three-dimensional battlefield between the two was filled with gravitational fields of various orientations, some thick, some thin, some wide, some narrow, some long, some short, all chaotic and disorderly, without any unified trend or discernible pattern, simply arising and ceasing at will.

Gravity is invisible and intangible, but when it is combined with the dust and sand of the surrounding land, it forms streams of quicksand. They appear as blurry as a thin mist and as soft as silk, but in reality, their strength is comparable to a water vortex, and their turbulence is even greater than that of a tornado. Anyone with slightly weak defenses who stands in the center will either be swept away and become dizzy and unsteady, or be torn apart and exploded by the force field.

The gravity magic they unleashed created a dark gray, earthy dust cloud within a hundred meters, blotting out the sun and blocking out any brief glimpses of sunlight. Azuma, watching from the side, was terrified. He had little ability to protect himself and could only hope for good luck in surviving this attack.

"Seriously, Bruno is one thing, but it seems this young man from Fairy Tail is also someone who doesn't hold back when he starts fighting... Are all young people this strong these days?"

After the battle of force field turbulence lasted for more than ten minutes, the yellow sand and dust that had been flowing freely in that gravity field suddenly stopped at a certain moment. It neither rose nor fell, neither moved forward nor backward, as if time had stopped and it was frozen in the air.

The next second, two powerful magical forces descended from the sky at the same time, landing directly on the ground in front of the two people, creating two huge craters. The craters cracked, and the earth was destroyed. The cracks stretched for tens of meters and went deep into the ground. Rocks exploded and sand flew wildly!

Chapter 210 Gravity Showdown

The wind howled, scattering rocks everywhere.

The two attacks created a crater ten feet deep in the ground. Brunot was trying to steady himself on the turbulent ground when Kira took the opportunity to dive down and swoop down on him.

"Windwalker!"

The Word of Power was activated instantly. Kira cast the [Windwalk] effect on his feet, making him as light as a feather, much lighter than the head-sized boulder beside him. Then, with several flashes, he passed through the towering boulders on the path. His tall figure, with his black magical robes whistling, rose and fell three times in the chaotic floating stone forest before him, rushing towards Brunot like an arrow released from a bow.

tread!

Three meters from his opponent, Kira took one last step on the stone, landing lightly like an arrow, before leaping swiftly, shattering the stone beneath his feet.

"Powerful critical strike!"

At the same time, he clenched his right fist, imbued it with a critical strike effect, and struck upwards towards his opponent's chin with lightning speed!

"What?!"

Bruno relies on gravity magic for mid-to-long-range combat, but he is not even as good as the Seven Kin in close combat, let alone facing Kira, a veteran who has trained for many years in Fairy Tail.

The moment Brunot unleashed his ultimate attack, before the recovery animation had even finished, Kira was already right in front of him. In those two short seconds, he didn't even notice his opponent's movements. By the time Kira was right in front of him, it was too late to react.

boom!

"Ugh—"

Kira punched his opponent squarely in the chin, and Brunot grunted as he was sent flying into the air. The powerful force sent him crashing through several rocks that hadn't yet hit the ground.

Kira remained in the same punching motion, trying to maintain his cool demeanor, and said calmly, "There's a very important exam going on around here for the younger generation, and I won't allow someone like you to disturb them!"

This was mainly said to Azuma, the only spectator there.

Although youth has an advantage, Bruno, a vice president, was knocked away by a young man with a single punch. How could he ever face anyone again?

Bruno, who was flying in the air, felt as if his jaw had dislocated. His body was being pushed higher and higher, and his back was being hit painfully. This was not a good thing, but it was just the right time to widen the distance between him and his opponent.

"This kid seems to have some skill. Watch me... um?"

Bruno was about to launch a counterattack when he suddenly felt his arms stiffen and his body become immobile. He couldn't even use magic. Looking down, he saw that his upper body was covered with dark purple magic runes, which spread downwards from his neck. Only his head and legs could still move, and his expression changed drastically.

Recalling Kira's punch just now, it immediately dawned on him: "This is... a binding spell? It's that punch from just now?!"

"Restraint!" Kira uttered two words that materialized from his mouth. "Lock on!"

With a soft whisper, a ball of dark purple magical energy appeared in his hand. At the same time, the magical runes on Brunot's body resonated with each other, emitting a faint purple light, resembling chains composed of runes. This unexpected binding magic dissipated his kinetic energy, freezing his entire body in mid-air.

"What's going on?!"

Kira's magical orb was like a remote control manipulating the magical chains. He slammed his arm down in the air, and the target was attracted by another gravitational field and slammed down again.

boom!

Gravity dragged Brunot back into the crater in the ground with a loud thud. He thought to himself with resentment: In the past, he was the one who had to suppress others, but today he finally got to experience it for himself.

Kira stood there, his expression unchanged, but in his mind he was scoring himself: "I think I got at least a 90! I wonder what that guy next to me with the broken leg thinks?"

As the smoke cleared, Brunot climbed out of the crater. After using magic to destroy the binding spells on his body, he wiped the blood from his face and dusted himself off. His gorilla-like face glared at Kira: "Fairy Tail, huh? Not bad with your gravity magic..."

What do you mean by "using gravity magic well"? This is clearly much better than yours! I know everything you know, and I know things you don't. I am the number one gravity magic user in the Kingdom of Fiore!

Kira couldn't help but roll his eyes: "He's clearly getting the short end of the stick, but he's acting like he's won. Is this what they call 'pretending to be cool even when you're getting beaten up'?"

The magical turbulence was the first step in testing the waters, aimed at determining the opponent's magical attributes and fighting habits. Kira then struck first and succeeded, so Brunot was eager to get justice immediately.

The battlefield has now shifted to the bottom of the giant pit, and the second round is about to begin!

"Destroy it!"

Bruno was furious at his previous defeat, his veins bulging. With a loud shout, he stomped his feet on the ground and jumped up, causing his cloak to flutter. At the same time, gravity magic was released from his outstretched fingers, and with a forceful downward swing, the surging magical power crushed towards Kira.

hula la...

The magic surged around Kira, enveloping him on both sides, causing gravity to sink within it, making it seem as if a smaller pit had been trapped inside a larger one!

An ordinary person might be crushed due to insufficient reaction time, but Kira was different. Years of magical combat had honed his reflexes to be incredibly fast. The moment his opponent jumped, he sensed the gravity magic attack. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, using the cracked ground as leverage to leap to the side and escape.

Boom! Whoosh!

If one attack misses, he strikes again. Brunot remains still and unleashes a dozen magic fields that spread throughout the crater, but Kira teleports twice more, and the gravity fields can only trap the afterimages left behind.

With a swift movement like a shooting star, Kira, with his powerful magical perception, can always detect his opponent's gravity field first, either by going around it or by jumping away in time.

He moved through the giant pit like a swift black cheetah, moving freely and gracefully, accompanied by subtle, soft sounds that only he could hear—the melody produced by the friction between the colorful crystals on his blue-purple short cloak and the air.

"A hail of bullets!"

With a soft shout, a familiar spell was cast once again. Under the influence of the power of the Word of Power, thousands of guns materialized in the air, densely packed and overwhelming, looking incredibly powerful!

Rumble!!

Guns fired, and countless bullets flew towards Brunot in the center. However, Brunot's strength was far greater than Kira had imagined. Under the influence of his magic, all the bullets were firmly pressed to the ground. Compared to the powerful gravity, the kinetic energy they gained from the guns was pitifully small.

Bruno remained standing there, unfazed by the bullets at his feet, his focus solely on tracking Kira's figure.

He is the traditional type of mage, quite different from most mages in this world. Ninety percent of his strength is devoted to magic, while his physical skills are not strong. Or perhaps, in this world, only the mages of Fairy Tail are truly talents who have mastered both magic and physical skills.

For this very reason, Kira rarely fights powerful opponents who are "specialized" in both magic and physical combat. Even Ace, the Ice Demon King he encountered in Zonia, was an opponent who was skilled in both magic and physical combat.

'Back in the Tenrou Island arc of the original timeline, this gravity-man was sent flying by Gildarts with a single punch, and eight years later, he was sent flying again by Natsu after a year of training. I thought he wasn't that strong, but now it seems he's got some skill! Well, that makes sense, considering he's the vice-chairman of [Demonic Heart]...'

Kira originally wanted to try to knock Gildarts away with one punch, just like he could, but it turned out there was still a slight difference, so he decided to throw a few more punches.

Unfortunately, after that attack, Bruno was much more vigilant and created a gravity field around himself. Anyone who got close would have their movements severely affected. Therefore, Kira's main goal now was to deplete his opponent's magic power and then find the right moment to unleash his ultimate move.

Let's try to finish it in one fell swoop!

Chapter 211 Who is More Shameful?

"Repulsive Impact!"

"Gravity compression!"

"Energy flushing!"

Kira created several illusory figures, using various spells in turn, attacking from all directions with Brunot as the center. However, the opponent remained unmoved, not even frowning, simply standing still, using gravity magic to its fullest extent, responding to all changes with unchanging tactics.

On the surface, Kira seems like a background character who wanders around his opponent looking for weaknesses, while Bruno is a master with a tight defense and unwavering stance. However, only the two who are actually in the middle of the battle know that the situation is completely reversed.

The truth is, Kira roamed the battlefield, using various attacks to disrupt his opponents' minds and magic, while Brunot was helpless against Kira's attacks and could only hide in the gravity barrier, unable to move at all.

The evidence is that during their ten-minute magical battle, Kira remained in complete control, while Brunot could no longer stand and was even sweating profusely.
