A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"Well..." Kana chuckled, "It's nothing, trust me, there's absolutely nothing I shouldn't have said!"

……

Two days ago...

Ever since entering Fairy Tail, the reporter's excitement has never stopped.

As a loyal fan of Fairy Tail, he was familiar with everyone in the Fairy Tail guild, from the sexy woman Mira who was always on the cover of newspapers to Elfman who responded to "What is a man?" with "That's what a man is." He interviewed everyone—except for Lucy, who was a newcomer and was always ignored.

"COOL~ Could this be... the one who enjoys the title of 'the most talented mage in the Kingdom of Fiore,' and almost became one of the Ten Wizard Saints... 'Sage' Kira!!"

Dispel stepped forward confidently: "That's right, it's me!"

The reporter took notes and filmed at the same time: "COOL~~~~~ I heard that you defeated Joseph and Jellal, who are also among the Ten Wizard Saints, one after another. I wonder what you think about the Council's decision not to appoint you as one of the Ten Wizard Saints before?"

"The council members are all trash!"

Dispel spoke in a flat tone, as if he were saying, "I ate breakfast today."

"Completely disregarding the Council of Guilds, is this the hallmark of the strongest guild? So cool!!!" The reporter continued, "What are you doing?"

"Selling magical items, this whole row of stalls is mine!"

"What kind of props are these?"

"Oh? Now that you're asking this, I'm wide awake!" Dispel enthusiastically pulled the reporter aside to introduce the props. He knew he would get a commission from each sale, so this was a perfect opportunity to promote the items.

"Like a disguise mask that can transform your body into someone else's; an invisibility cloak that can conceal your form and scent; a magical pocket watch that can instantly hypnotize an enemy; red/blue potions that can restore magic power, physical strength, and mental energy; and glasses that can detect how many times people have sex..."

Dispel became increasingly enthusiastic, eager to introduce everything to the reporter at once. "Of course, I highly recommend lifelike doll toys. Whether it's an elf or a catgirl, they can all be customized. I'm currently doing research in this area, and I believe I'll be able to create a satisfactory piece soon..."

This time, the reporter couldn't come out. He gave an awkward smile, turned around, and left, leaving Dispel completely bewildered.

If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days the newspapers will run headlines like "Genius Mage Openly Sells XX Items".

……

"That bastard!" Kira threw the newspaper Cana handed him to the ground. "I shouldn't have handed the shop over to him! It's all over, my image is completely ruined..."

"What's the big deal? You're always like this in the guild, aren't you?" Kana said nonchalantly. "By the way, what exactly are these 'xx elf' and 'xx catgirl' things? Are you making doll toys like Biggleslow?"

Kira loudly denied it: "No! I didn't do anything like that!"

"That……"

To stop Cana from continuing the topic, Kira asked, "Seriously, even if I'm here to teach the kids magic, I at least brought the Magic Crystal from the movie. You're just going to come empty-handed?"

Kana smiled confidently: "Of course not! I brought a gift too!"

"What gift? I'm warning you, you're not allowed to tempt children to drink!"

"What are you thinking about? It's this!" Kana pulled out a card, and it has to be said that this thing is as convenient as a spatial ring.

With a thud, books fell out of the cards, piling up into a small mountain half a person's height.

"I bought them in bulk from the bookstore; they're all books related to magic. I heard that people read these kinds of books nowadays."

I crouched down and picked up a book at random. I saw several large characters written on the cover: "Demon Breaks the Sky".

What's with this familiar name?

Kira looked at the mountain of books before him and thought, 'No... it can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?'

Looking at the other books, there are titles like "The Love Story of a Dark Mage and a Legal Loli," "I Was Pregnant for 400 Years Before I Was Born," "The Magic Merchant Mixed in with Fairy Tail," "I Will Seal Your Darkness," "I Want to Hear Your Voice," "Where Did Dad Go?" "The Bankrupt Heiress of a Conglomerate," "Transmigrated to a World Where Cats Are Gods," and "If There Were No Magic in the World"...

Kira: "..."

Wow, he wrote all of it himself.

"Couldn't you have looked at it once before bringing it over?!"

Chapter 139 Inheritance

"Listen carefully, for a mage, the most important thing is magic power!"

On the podium, Kira spoke eloquently to the students, "As long as you have enough mana, even the weakest spell can unleash tremendous power!"

Below, a dozen or so young men and women looked at him with admiration and respect, nodding as if they understood.

"Even in high-level matches, that is, battles between powerful mages, the amount of magic power is the most crucial factor in determining victory or defeat! No matter what kind of magic you use, you need a sufficient amount of magic power to support it!"

Kira circled the word "magic" on the blackboard with a pen, and then wrote "magic" in the lower left corner.

He turned to the students and said, "And magic is a means that allows you to overcome the strong with the weak!"

"The more powerful and unique a spell is, the stronger its effect. But you must remember, powerful magic is not necessarily the most effective. As long as it is used correctly, even magic that cannot be used in combat can play an important role!"

"The key to magic is quality, not quantity. Any single type of magic can take a mage a lifetime to master."

"For mages, there is such a thing as compatibility with magic. If it is suitable, the mage will be stronger; if it is not suitable, the mage will find it much more difficult to train."

This time, only a few students nodded thoughtfully: "Oh...oh..."

Kira wrote the word "magician" on the blackboard again, forming a triangle with the previous "magic power" and "magic": "The final question is, how to become a mage as good as me."

"This depends a lot on talent. Of course, you don't need to worry. As long as you are willing to work hard and learn, even if you are of average talent, you can still defeat those so-called geniuses!"

"Excellent mages all have their own principles, which can be a life goal that they must achieve no matter what, or a bottom line that no one can cross!"

"You must remember that you must first understand yourselves and do your best in order to become an excellent mage!"

After the words of encouragement were spoken, only a few children remained, their gazes still firm, seemingly having already formed their own beliefs.

Kira called on a little boy sitting in the front row: "Young man, is there anything you've consistently done?"

"I insist on getting up at 6 a.m. every morning, taking a one-hour nap, and going to bed at 11 p.m. Before going to bed, I always drink a glass of warm milk and then sleep soundly until dawn."

Kira: "..."

"I also insist on doing 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squat jumps, and a 10-kilometer run every day..."

There must be something wrong with this child.

"Hey, girl over there, what are your life goals?"

The little girl replied, "I want to be like Sister Kana."

Well, this girl's life is over!

"Hey boy behind me, is there a bottom line that no one can cross?"

"Yes, yes!" the boy shouted, raising his hand. "Everyone in the orphanage is my family, and no one can bully my family!"

"Well said!" Kira encouraged the others to applaud. "Young man, I've discovered you have great potential! You'll definitely become an excellent mage someday! How about joining Fairy Tail sometime? I'm rooting for you!"

The boy chuckled: "Teacher, what's your bottom line?"

"Hmm... there are many if you think about it carefully," Kira said after pretending to ponder for a while.

"You all saw the movie 'Magic Crystal' just now, right? Whether it's a dragon that's lived for hundreds of years, a demon that's only been around for a few decades, or an evil believer as old as me, I punish them all with ruthless and merciless methods!"

"But Sister Kana said your bottom line is money!"

Kira: "..."

"Pfft—" Kana, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom by the window, also burst out laughing.

You're the one who led them astray!

Kira's Rage +1 +1

Amidst the laughter, a little boy raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Kira, when can you teach us some more powerful magic?"

"Hmm... I can teach you magic anytime if you want, but the key is, have you found the right magic for you?"

The boy fell silent. With his limited experience, he had no idea what kind of magic suited him. He only knew to follow the headmaster's instructions and learn whatever was available. Whether the magic was suitable for him was beyond his ability to judge.

Seeing the boy lower his head, Kira sighed inwardly. What they lacked during their period of confusion was goals and opportunities. Now he had given them opportunities, but they had to find their own direction.

This is actually quite ahead of their peers, after all, many people don't even have the opportunity to learn magic!

"What are you thinking? Learn anything! You'll only know if it's suitable after you learn it!" A slightly older boy patted his younger brother's head and shouted to Kira, "Kira, you should start by teaching him fire magic!"

He's been watching "The Magic Breaker" lately and is very interested in fire magic.

Kira was unaware of this, but he was pleased with the boy's answer.

"Okay!"

……

Perhaps due to the orphan buff, these children learn very quickly.

Of course, Kira believed that it was his long-standing, insightful yet simple explanations and patient guidance that ignited their deep-seated desire to become stronger.

A few kids who had just learned magic were chasing and playing around with their half-baked spells.

"Behold my Bone Spirit Cold Flame..."

"Sandfall Funeral..."

"Water ripples, lotus blossoms..."

"Wind, roar!"

"May the Thunder God help me..."

Various random and nonsensical jokes, seemingly picked up from nowhere, began appearing in the children's games, leaving Kira feeling embarrassed: "Where did these kids learn all this?"

His intuition told him that all of this must be related to Kana!

"If I'd known it was your novel, I should have slapped it right in the bookstore owner's face instead of bringing it here!" Kana complained. "It's all because you don't write proper books, but instead write this nonsense..."

Kira was taken aback by her words, and after a long pause, she retorted, "What do you mean by 'nonsense'? My book is perfectly normal, and everyone who has read it says it's great!"

"That 'Magic Fighting Sky' manga is basically based on Natsu, isn't it? The scarf, the strange fire; and that 'Where Did Dad Go?' manga, the first story has that girl who travels thousands of miles to find her father..."

"Oh, there's no doubt about that, I used you as the model for what I wrote."

Confirmed, Cana panicked and punched Kira in the shoulder: "You bastard, how do you know everything?!"

"Don't worry, I didn't tell Gildas, but I think he probably discovered something last time in Zonia..."

Upon hearing Kira's speculation, Cana immediately recalled the scene from that time, and her heart became even more flustered. After a long while, she came to her senses and awkwardly changed the subject: "Writing your companions into a novel, is that normal?"
