A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira's intuition told him that this guy wasn't exactly serious.

"I'm a very proper person. It's you Aslant people who are abnormal, isn't it?"

Dispel saw through Kira's thoughts and said dejectedly, "Especially those young, beautiful, and enthusiastic girls, who clearly have no talent for swordsmanship at all, yet they always say they want to stay up all night to spar with me. I really don't know where they get their confidence!"

Looks like everything's alright!

"Since you defeated Joseph, I owe you a favor on behalf of Fairy Tail."

Seeing these two guys talking as if no one else was around, everyone in the room couldn't contain their curiosity.

"and many more!!!"

"Alright, let's end this here!!"

"Can anyone explain what's going on?"

"Even though it's our first time meeting, why are they greeting me like we've known each other for ages?!"

"When you suddenly see someone who looks exactly like you, you shouldn't react like this, right?!"

Natsu even leaned closer to take a closer sniff: "They smell almost exactly the same..."

Dispel was speechless: "Are you a dog...?"

After a period of noise, Kira finally calmed his restless companions down and gave them a lesson on the other world: "The world we are in now is called Aslant, and beyond our world, there are all sorts of other worlds."

"In Aslant, the most well-known otherworld is probably the Protoss Realm, the world where the Protoss live."

Lucy exclaimed, "The Celestials? So that's considered another world?"

Kira nodded to Lucy: "Yes! The Celestial Realm is a world independent of Aslant, which means that even if you go to other worlds, you can still summon them!"

"Because each otherworld exists in a different time and space, it is generally difficult to travel between them. Aslant and the Protoss Realm are two worlds that are closely connected. We use the Protoss Key to open the passage between the two worlds."

"Oh...oh..." The crowd nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Kira, you know so much! I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage and I didn't even know these things..."

"Getting back to the main point, near Aslant, there is a world that is almost like a mirror projection, called Edolas."

“Almost every life in Aslant can find an identical ‘isotope’ in Edolas. The person in front of me is me in Edolas.”

"What? There's another me in Edolas?"

Kira nodded: "Yes!"

"I'm so curious, what would my other self be like?"

"Well... as I just said, the two worlds are in a mirror-like state, so people from the two worlds will exhibit completely opposite traits in certain aspects. For example, Gray's most prominent characteristic is that he likes to take off his clothes, while the other Gray likes to wear clothes..."

Hearing Kira make fun of him, Gray asked unhappily, "Kira, you like money so much, does Kira of Edola hate money?"

Kira retorted, "You need to get this straight, I just like making money!"

Dispel continued, "That's brilliant! We're definitely different. I just love spending money!"

Everyone: "..."

Is there really such a big difference? Seriously, Kira is just as annoying no matter which one!

Chapter 111 Kira Dispel

"What about me? What about me?" Happy asked, leaning closer. "Kira, what about me?"

Kira glanced at Dispel across from him, who was yawning and staring blankly. "This guy, he must be a Beyonder, right?"

"The transcendent?"

Dispel explained, "In Edolas, humans don't have magic in their bodies; only those who transcend have magic. They are a group of winged cats living on the sky islands, and they are revered as gods by the human kingdoms!"

"Sky islands...winged cats...then, could Edolas be Harpy's hometown?"

Dispel said, "Probably. As far as I know, there are no transcendents in Aslant."

Natsu exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Happy..."

Harpy, somewhat smug, said, "I am a god...?"

"Don't get too cocky, Blue Cat!" Dispel poured cold water on Harpy's excitement. "The Beyonders are not a race to be envied!"

"Just because they can fly, those guys think they're superior, bullying everyone in human society and enjoying all the honor and resources! And those idiots in the human kingdoms are completely subservient to these superhumans, it's hilarious!"

"You should be glad you didn't live in a place like that and become like them!"

Like a bolt from the blue, the news struck Happy's heart. The feeling of falling from heaven was truly awful. She turned and cried, throwing herself into Natsu's arms: "How could this be..."

Seeing Happy being wronged, Natsu got a little angry: "Why are you being so mean to Happy?! This has nothing to do with him!"

"Why are you yelling at me like that?!" Dispel shouted, mimicking Natsu, showing no intention of apologizing at all: "I was just stating the facts!"

"I don't want to stay in this distorted world for even a second longer because I blindly believe in a bunch of people who have no ability, contribute nothing to society or the country, and only know how to enjoy their rights!"

Harpy felt a little down after realizing that his background might not be that of a good person.

Natsu hugged him gently and said, "Don't worry, Happy is Happy, he's my comrade, he's family with Fairy Tail, he's not some guy who bullies others in another world!"

"Waaaaah~~ Natsu..."

Happy was deeply moved and threw himself into Natsu's arms to vent his emotions. He quickly calmed down and cheered himself up.

Seeing this, Kira changed the subject back to Dispel: "So, tell me about yourself. Why did you come to Asland? And how did you end up in Fairy Tail?"

"Oh, this...it's a long story..."

Next, Dispel began his life speech...

In Edolas, since there is no magic power and magic (i.e., magical items, which the people of Edolas call magic) is something that is explicitly forbidden for ordinary people to possess, and can only be found on the black market, and is expensive and difficult to obtain, most people are weaklings with no combat ability.

But Kira Dispel is different. Although he was also of commoner origin, he was born with a powerful talent for swordsmanship.

He started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three. Without the guidance of any famous teachers or masters, he relied entirely on self-study and comprehension to achieve extraordinary results. At the age of eight, he ventured alone into the Forest of Fierce Beasts, overcoming all obstacles and defeating the most troublesome giant tiger.

After that, he traveled to various places, inviting people to compete and exchange skills, and his reputation grew, eventually reaching the ears of the king.

The king of the human kingdom, who was also Mystorgan's father, decisively granted him the position of knight commander after witnessing Dispel's swordsmanship, putting him in charge of the kingdom's army. He was only 12 years old that year.

"What a coincidence, I also became an S-class mage at the age of 12."

Kira was somewhat moved, thinking, "I'm so powerful even without magic."

"Your swordsmanship, you actually taught yourself?"

Erza was also surprised. Her swordsmanship was self-taught, so she knew all too well what kind of training was required to reach Dispel's level, and how demanding the talent requirements were.

Dispel had seen this surprised look countless times before, so he paid it no mind and continued to tell his story of the second part of his life.

Dispel's first twelve years were almost like a cheat code: he was incredibly powerful, became famous at a young age, traveled to various places, gained the kingdom's attention, became a knight commander, and reached the pinnacle of his life.

He spent some time in the Kingdom's army, during which time he naturally met Prince Mystgang. Dispel was a little older than Mystgang, and although they weren't exactly good friends, they were at least acquaintances because of their positions.

What others might take half a lifetime, or even a lifetime, to achieve, Dispel accomplished in less than ten years.

According to the original plot, they should have been a king and a knight, with the king handling state affairs and the knight commanding the army, working together to manage the human kingdom. However, all of this changed under the influence of the transcendents.

With only a little magic and a bit of precognitive ability, the Transcendent created a convincing legend, seized the resources of human kingdoms, and enjoyed rights even higher than those of kings. This made human kings resentful, since no king of any country was happy to see someone overpowering him.

The superior attitude of those who transcended magic further fueled the king's thirst for power, making his personality increasingly extreme and insane. Ultimately, he set his sights on worlds rich in magic, one of which was Aslant.

By using the spatial transfer magic "Soul," the magically rich places in Aslantri were absorbed, and the humans, monsters, and cities with abundant magic power were transformed into magical crystals.

This action drew the opposition of Mystgang, the prince of the human king, who then came to Aslant, hoping to stop the "soul" from being activated.

On the other hand, Dispel, unable to tolerate the behavior of the Transcendents, repeatedly clashed with the kittens, suffering punishment from the king and pressure from public opinion within the kingdom. Thus, he resolutely left the kingdom's army and came to Asland with Mystergan.

"Huh? So, Mystogan is also one of Edolas's people?"

"You mean to say that you and Mystogan are people without magic in their bodies?"

"It's unbelievable that someone without magic can be so strong..."

Everyone was stunned by Dispel's words. Although it was clear that he was a very strong swordsman, no one could have imagined that someone without magic could kill Joseph so easily.

Mystogan, a veteran S-class mage in Fairy Tail, only possessed all his strength through the magic in his wand, which made them even more ashamed.

All eyes turned to Mystgang, who sat alone in the corner, head bowed and silent. Perhaps knowing that Dispel's arrival today would inevitably reveal his long-held secret, he unusually did not avoid the crowd this time, but stayed in the guild.

But when he saw that all of them were looking at him, he was still a little shy by nature. Although his headscarf and mask had covered him completely, he still shrank back involuntarily and used the large blue cloak behind him to cover himself up even more.

'This guy is so shy...' This thought flashed through everyone's minds.

"So, Mystogan has been avoiding everyone because he wants to hide this secret?"

Lucy thought about it more carefully and raised her hand to ask, "Mystgang comes from Edolas, so that means there's someone in Aslant who looks exactly like him? Is there anything wrong with someone who looks exactly like him?"

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement: "If it's a relatively famous person, it's understandable that they would cover their face to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Kira and Laxus mentioned before that Mystogan's face looks a lot like a certain famous person. Who is it?"

Natsu stroked his chin, speculating, then suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be the king or prince of the Kingdom of Fiore?"

But Lucy shook her head: "It shouldn't be. I remember the king of the Kingdom of Fiore was a short, big man, and he didn't have a prince, only a princess."

"Who could it be?"

“I might know something about that!” Dispel raised his hand. “The two counterparts from different worlds have different surnames, but the same first name! His name is…”

"Geralt!"

Chapter 112 Erza's Worries

"What?! Jellal—who is that?" Natsu had never heard of the name before, so he was completely confused. "A name I've never heard of before!"

Lucy retorted, "If you don't know him, why are you pretending to be so surprised?!"

"Because that creates a better atmosphere."

Happy laughed and said, "That's just Natsu's personality..."

Of all the listeners, there was only one exception: Erza.
