A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira shook his head and said, "That's too narrow-minded! Your view is far too narrow! Love knows no race, age, or gender! Besides, dragons' average magical level is much higher than that of humans. Transformation magic is as easy for them as eating or defecating! They can transform into human form!"

Ultear held up the crystal ball: "(╬◣д◢) Hopeless! This person is completely hopeless! Let's just kill him to prevent him from spreading such evil and obscene ideas in the world. This person will definitely become a dark mage like Zeref in the future!"

"Nonsense! I would never become that kind of lolicon! In both my past and present lives, I have always been a supporter of big breasts!"

"Why is it that no matter what topic we discuss, you always end up bringing up this kind of random nonsense!"

The two argued louder and louder, but the other three ignored them, their eyes fixed on the chunks of meat in the box.

"This is a dragon's heart? It looks similar to a wild boar's heart..."

"How do you make this into a Dragon Slayer Crystal?"

Silver examined it for a while, then reached in and touched it. Soon, a few streaks of blood oozed out. He then turned his head and said, "The research institute still has the old equipment. It's usable, but I've never done it before. If you asked me to do it, I can't guarantee success!"

Eric asked, "Can't we just eat it? Don't they all learn magic by eating dragon meat?"

"Regarding this, I advise you not to even consider it; this approach has significant drawbacks!"

Silver withdrew his hand and said to Eric, "The research institute has conducted relevant data tests. Dragon-slaying magic learned by eating dragon meat absolutely cannot be used with dragon power, otherwise one will go completely insane!"

Eric frowned: "Dragon power?"

Clearly, he didn't know anything about this, after all, he was just a Dragon Slayer Mage who didn't even get motion sickness.

"You're a second-generation Dragon Slayer Mage too, yet you know nothing about it. How pathetic!"

Silver patted Eric on the shoulder with a mixture of pity and regret, as if they were classmates who graduated from the same kindergarten but ended up with one becoming a PhD in research and the other a street thug.

Eric was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to attack.

Fortunately, Silver explained in time: "The so-called 'Dragon Power' is a combat state exclusive to Dragon Slayer Mages. Basically, it can only be used when one has mastered Dragon Slayer Magic to a certain level. It can greatly increase our combat stats such as attack, defense, and magic power, by at least 2 to 3 times!"

Eric looked on in disbelief and exclaimed, "Two to three times?! That's incredible?! Really?"

"Of course! This has been verified by data! It's absolutely authentic and reliable!"

Silver answered confidently, "Once a Dragon Slayer mage awakens the power of dragons, they will at least have the strength of one of the Ten Wizard Saints!"

Eric listened in silence for a while.

In the past, he would have thought that his strength was not as great as those legendary figures like Ishgar, but at least it wouldn't be too bad. However, since being brutally beaten by Kira, he has begun to re-evaluate his strength.

Kira didn't really agree with the S-class strength, Ten Wizard Saints strength, Uranus strength, Shield-class strength, etc. that he mentioned. What kind of magicians in this world have such a clear standard for classifying strength?

But that desire to become stronger is real!

Sound magic is useful, but when you encounter an opponent who completely overwhelms you, the ability to "hear actions" is really too limited!

If a real fight breaks out, we'll still have to rely on poison dragon-slaying magic!

In just two days, Eric's listening ability was repeatedly broken: his heart was blocked; he was bombarded with wide-ranging attacks; he couldn't keep up with the opponent's attacks; his body was frozen in place...

Now, its greatest function is actually listening to other people's inner jokes!

Eric felt deeply that this was the biggest predicament he had ever faced in his life!

"If I could unlock the power of the dragon, perhaps everything would be different..."

With this in mind, Eric decided to have a good talk with Silver and the others about how to best use Dragon Slayer Magic, since he was free now anyway! As for Kira's money-making plan, what was that?

Meanwhile, Kira was still arguing with Ultear, unaware that the promises he made were thrown into the trash by his employees the very next day, without even a glance.

Eric then asked, "Speaking of which, activating the power of dragons is already very difficult for a Dragon Slayer Mage, and they may never be able to do it in their entire lives. So, whether it's made into a magic crystal and implanted into the body, or eaten directly, the effect should be about the same, right?"

Silver glanced at him upon hearing this, a glint of light flashing in his blue eyes: "If you learn magic with this kind of mentality, you'll never become a powerful mage!"

Eric: "..."

This way of speaking is so similar to Kira's! I knew that spending too much time with someone like that would make you like that, but... I didn't know this virus could even infect machine races? And so quickly?!

Silver ignored Eric's expression and said, "You need to understand that the power of dragons is not so easy to withstand! Once you are tainted, it will irreversibly corrupt the human body!"

"First, that kind of peculiar magic could very well drive humans mad; second, due to the perceptual discrepancy between the dragon's vision and the human's semicircular canals, it can cause intense dizziness, which is most noticeable in vehicles; finally, when the dragon's power reaches a certain proportion in the human body, the human will become dragon-like, that is, turn into a dragon!"

"These are records from this research institute, which has existed for over a hundred years."

Silver said to Eric and Gerald, who was openly eavesdropping nearby, "These three drawbacks are almost unavoidable. If you cheat your way to immunity to one of them, the other two will be aggravated!"

"The first generation, who were taught by dragons, have the lowest probability of going insane. However, because of this, the dragon seed within them grows extremely fast. Not only are they far less resistant to vehicles than other generations, but they also have the highest probability of dragonification! It's almost one in ten thousand!"

"Those fifth-generation beings who have consumed dragon flesh have eliminated their weakness of motion sickness. Furthermore, because the dragon seed within them cannot grow normally, their dragonification process is indirectly slowed down, so the probability of them going insane increases dramatically! The more powerful the dragon-slaying magic, the more mentally unstable they become! The final result is what I just mentioned: once they activate the dragon power, they go mad!"

"Is that so?!"

Eric, who had never heard of this concept before, immediately asked, "What about our second generation?"

Silver suddenly smiled, a proud expression on his face: "Based on comprehensive data, the second generation of Dragon Slayer Mages actually has the fewest flaws of all generations! The probability of them turning into dragons or going insane is extremely low, and their resistance to vehicles is also relatively high!"

"Really?!" Eric was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Silver once again delivered a scathing rebuke: "Really! But perhaps because we forcibly exploited a loophole, other drawbacks have arisen!"

Eric's joy came to an abrupt halt: "Uh... other drawbacks? What are they?"

Silver sighed regretfully and said, "It's very difficult for us to use the power of dragons! Unless a mage has exceptionally high magical talent and can use dragon slaying magic to the point that it can still be used even after the dragon slaying crystal is removed, our limits in this lifetime are already set!"

Chapter 275 The Art of Bargaining

As a second-generation Dragon Slayer Mage, I find it difficult to use the power of dragons...

After hearing Silver's words, Eric's expression stiffened, his face seemingly screaming: 'Is this even a big deal?'

He grabbed his hair in exasperation and muttered, "Sure enough! I still can't understand you bunch of freaks!"

To think that being unable to use the power of dragons is such a big deal, it seems I've set my life goals too short! Is this what they call the difference between a "genius" and a "genius above genius"?

Thinking of this, Eric couldn't help but look at Kira: 'Where is his gaze now?'

"Big breasts! They must be big breasts!"

Kira's voice, at 80 decibels, rang out, "The large breasts of young, mature, and beautiful girls are the most perfect thing in the world! People like Zeref, who are obsessed with young girls, are heretics in the magical world. That's why he's known as the 'most evil dark mage in history'!"

Eric (乛_乛): "...Kira, doesn't he realize that what he's saying is a topic that shouldn't be easily discussed in front of girls?"

Ultear grabbed Kira by the collar in a fit of rage: "How could it be because of something like that! That's the legendary Zeref!!"

Eric (￣ー￣): "Ultear, did you actually start arguing with him about this?!"

The two were getting louder and louder, and Gerald couldn't stand it anymore. He spoke up and said, "I say, haven't you two stopped arguing enough?"

"So noisy!" ×2

Perhaps they ran out of words, so they tacitly turned their guns on Gerald.

Kira, without hesitation, leaned in and said to Gerald, "How can a man back down on this kind of topic?! You clearly like girls of this size too, so why are you pretending to be an innocent young man?! You should boldly say what you like! It's because of this secretive personality that you can't get girls!"

Ultear, not to be outdone, also put on an infuriating expression: "That's just how this guy is! His personality hasn't changed at all over the years! He's incredibly arrogant and utterly chuunibyou! Chuunibyou!"

Jellal(▼ヘ▼#): "..."

'In just one day, Ultear has... completely transformed into Kira's appearance... Is this some kind of strange magic? Or is there some kind of special potion or potion that can temporarily change a person's thinking and speech to resemble Kira's?'

Watching Kira and Ultear laughing heartily with their arms around each other's shoulders, Gerald and Eric fell into deep thought.

……

Three hours later, in a brightly lit room, a dozen figures sat around a large round table, their eyes fixed on the pieces of meat on the table.

This time it wasn't a meal, it was a meeting!

"So, what are your suggestions regarding the heart of this sticky dragon?"

Kira, seated at the head of the guest seats, asked the question, glancing at his companions who were whispering among themselves.

"Was someone really attacking just now? I didn't notice anything at all..."

"Indeed, looking back now, my previous state was really off, but I really didn't expect it..."

Snapped!Snapped!

Kira clapped his hands, drawing their attention back to him: "My suggestion is to make it into magic crystals. What are your thoughts?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say. Finally, Eric spoke up first: "That heart was your trophy, wasn't it? You should decide that yourself, shouldn't you?"

Kira shook his head and said, "You can't say that! We're an organization now. Even though I'm the boss, I still need to ask you about the distribution of the organization's assets."

In the past, Brian always made decisions on his own regarding similar matters, never asking for their opinions. Today, being valued so much by their so-called boss for the first time made them feel quite strange.

Seeing them all bowing their heads and remaining silent, Kira continued, "Or perhaps you all want to try it out? If so, I have no objection! I've never tasted dragon meat before. I can accept boiling, stir-frying, stewing, or braising, but we'll need to find a good chef. Speaking of which, I wonder if there's any magic specifically for cooking in this world..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by several people.

"Are you serious? No matter what, turning it into magic crystals is more cost-effective, right? It would be such a waste to just eat it like this!"

"If eating it would grant me Dragon Slayer Magic, then that wouldn't be a bad idea..."

"That's probably impossible, right? According to those three, it's only possible by eating a large amount of dragon meat. You can't become a Dragon Slayer Mage just by eating a heart!"

Kira said matter-of-factly, "But I've never actually eaten dragon meat! Think about it yourselves. Dragon Slayer Crystals are rare, but they do exist, and their numbers increase as dragons die. In comparison, how many people have actually eaten dragon meat?"

Silver, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "I think there are probably more people in this world who have eaten dragon meat than dragon-slaying magic crystals, right? After all, one dragon is enough to feed a lot of people!"

That's absolutely right!

Kira looked over unhappily: "I'm talking about now! In this day and age, even dragons are rare, how many people have ever eaten dragon meat! If you ate it, you could brag about it for the rest of your lives!"

However, the group didn't seem to be moved by Kira's words. They just sat in their chairs, lost in thought, which made Kira anxious.

"Why don't you say something?"

"I don't care!"

"no comment!"

Several people spoke in unison, and although they said different things, they all expressed the same meaning: they didn't want to get involved!

"In that case, Silver, I'll have to ask you to process it into a Dragon Slayer Crystal!"

After going around in circles, Kira finally chose this option.

Silver said calmly, "No problem! The handling fee is 500 million J!"

"What did you say?!" Kira exclaimed. "Why didn't you just go and steal it?!"
