Fairy Tail Space Mage

Sora remained silent. If he were close to the girl, he would have embraced her and let her cry. But they had only known each other for less than an hour. They hadn't even exchanged names. Sora could only remain silent, waiting for the girl to finish crying.

"Sister Mira..." The girl's younger brother and sister wanted to do something, but they were at a loss.

A few minutes later, the girl's sobs gradually subsided. She finally calmed down, and at the same time, felt very embarrassed. She didn't understand why she had lost her temper with the boy she had only known for a short time, who had helped her when she was most desperate. She now felt very regretful.

"I'm sorry, I..." The girl didn't know how to explain.

"It's nothing. Physiological studies have shown that crying is good for your health." Kong's answer was strange, and even stranger, it actually made the girl laugh. The girl couldn't help but laugh through her tears.

Although her younger brother and sister found the boy and their sister's reactions strange, they immediately felt a sense of relief when their sister finally laughed, and their mood improved as well.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Kong asked, seeing that they were all alright.

“Yes, we’ve eaten. We roasted some dry rations,” replied Elfman, the younger brother of the three siblings. He seemed very honest, answering every question directly, even appearing a little dull.

"Is that so? Then go to bed early tonight. I'll still take you to see the guild master tomorrow. You can decide for yourselves whether to stay or leave then. If you don't want to join the Mage Guild, I can introduce you to other ordinary jobs. There are many businesses in this city that I have good relationships with. It won't be difficult for me to introduce you to suitable jobs."

After finishing speaking, Sora glanced at the future "Demon Mira" and continued:

"Whatever choice you make, you must first master receiving magic. Only then can you restore your arm to its original state."

"Although you may not listen to me now, I still want to tell you: power itself is neither good nor bad; the key lies in the person who wields it."

"Also, do not fear or run away from power, because you will always need it one day. Don't regret it when you need power but don't have it."

Sora was unusually talkative today; if Erza were here, she would be quite surprised. Even when they were doing quests together, Sora hadn't spoken this much in two or three days. Sora was acting strangely today.

Chapter 009 New Family

"The boy and I will sleep in the living room, and the two girls will sleep in the bedroom. Here is your luggage, and you can use anything else in the house. That's the bathroom over there; take a shower first, and then go to sleep..."

After speaking to the girl, Kong took out the luggage of the three siblings from his spatial ring and began to give orders.

Although the living room didn't even have a sofa, there was a simple camping quilt in the empty space. Laying it on the floor was enough space for Elfman to sleep.

Kong took a new quilt from the bedroom closet and gave it to the two girls. He and Elfman, on the other hand, used their own old quilts.

Although they felt uncomfortable spending the night at someone else's house, the three children would have nowhere to go if they left that night, so they had no choice but to comply. Fortunately, they had completely let their guard down around the air and didn't feel uneasy at all.

That night, Sora's dormitory was quite lively. The usually quiet dormitory didn't quiet down until very late. Elfman and Lisanna were very curious about Sora, and after discovering that he was actually very easy to talk to, they pestered him with many questions, such as about mages and guilds. Sora, of course, answered them all. Because of this, they didn't go to sleep until very late.

The next day, Kong woke up early and found that his three siblings had already washed up and were waiting for him. They seemed a little nervous; after all, the decision they were about to make could change their entire lives.

Sora wondered if they had slept well last night in this unfamiliar place. Sora slept very well last night!

Even though there were strangers in the dorm, Kong felt he slept more peacefully than usual. He felt something was wrong with him.

"Maybe it's because of the feeling of home," Sora murmured to himself, then began his first "complete meditation" of the day.

The "Complete Meditation" phase, which releases magical power, creates a visible vortex of magical energy around the user. Therefore, when Sora finished his "Complete Meditation," he found the three siblings staring at him in surprise, seemingly amazed that a mage could do something like this.

Sora didn't explain to them. "Complete meditation" was too dangerous for others, and Sora didn't want the three siblings to get involved.

After Kong finished washing up, he first took the three siblings to a breakfast shop for breakfast, and then took them to see the chairman.

The guild master could certainly see Mira's talent as a mage, but he hesitated about whether to let the three siblings join the guild.

Unlike Sora, the president has lived for so long and witnessed the deaths of countless mages, knowing how dangerous this profession is. The three siblings, unlike Sora who had nothing and didn't know what to do, seem to have other life options.

Sora, however, was unwilling to let the three siblings and Fairy Tail miss out on each other. Joining Fairy Tail might be a matter of life and death, but not joining might be even worse.

The three siblings are all important characters in the Fairy Tail story. Sora believes that they will be safe after joining Fairy Tail. So, the next step is simple—convince Chairman Makarov.

"President, what do you think of the three of them, especially the two girls?" Sora said this calmly and in a normal tone. But for some reason, the two girls felt that Sora was a bit... sleazy.

"Two girls? Hmm. Cute, very cute!" Makarov's assessment was quite accurate.

"So, can you imagine what they'll look like in six years?" Sora continued to ask.

"This... um. A stunning beauty, absolutely stunning!" Makarov actually tilted his head back and started imagining it, even drooling.

Well, although Sora thought Makarov could be a bit of a "perverted old man" at times, this was the first time he'd shown it so obviously. He felt his image of Makarov as a great man had shattered, and he was also curious about what Makarov imagined the two sisters would look like six years from now.

"Guild Master. Our guild is called 'Fairy Tail,' but in reality, it's almost entirely made up of destructive men. A few years from now..." Sora continued.

“Wait a minute. A few years from now, our guild will still have Erza…” Makarov looked back at Erza, who was clad in armor and fiercely teaching Natsu and Gray a lesson for fighting since early morning, and shook his head first: “Hmm, it doesn’t seem like that will work.”

"But even without Elsa, there's still Kana..."

"Kana has started drinking recently, Chairman." Sora's single sentence was enough to stop Makarov from arguing any further.

"Alright, for the sake of Fairy Tail's reputation, we'll let you join the guild for now. But don't worry! If you decide to leave the guild in the future, you can leave anytime. No one will stop you!"

Makarov eventually agreed to let Mira and her siblings join the guild. In reality, even if Sora hadn't tried so hard to persuade Makarov, he would have agreed to let the siblings join anyway. Sora, realizing this, felt like he'd been tricked by Makarov.

After completing the formalities and arranging accommodations for the three siblings, Makarov seized Kong and, on the grounds that "you brought people, so you have to take full responsibility," conscripted Kong as labor.

So, for the rest of the day, Kong was busy helping the three siblings tidy up their dorm room: giving their new room a thorough cleaning. Any missing furniture or necessities were bought one by one with Kong's "moving" magic.

Since all three siblings can cook, they need to buy kitchenware and a magical refrigerator (cooking themselves saves a lot of money). Of course, there's no need to worry about money; Sora had already lent them 50 J. This is Sora's only savings at the moment. Although it's not a huge amount, it's enough for the three siblings to cope with their initial impoverished situation.

The three siblings could also borrow money from the guild, but each person could only borrow 10, and they would have to pay interest when repaying the loan. The three siblings hesitated for a moment and then did not do so.

After all, they weren't even sure if they could earn the 10 J rent for the first month's dorm, and it was really unsettling to start with so much debt. After what happened last night, they could trust Kong. But they still needed to learn more about the guild.

The day after the three siblings joined the guild, Sora's life returned to normal. Sora couldn't help them with learning magic. The guild leader would arrange for someone in the guild with a specialization in magic to teach them.

Elsa and Gray welcomed their new family, but perhaps due to incompatible personalities, Mira didn't like Elsa, especially when she learned that Elsa often completed commissions with Sora.

Elfman, Lisanna, Gray, and Natsu, on the other hand, get along very well. Perhaps it's because they're closer in age.

Seeing that the three siblings had successfully integrated into the guild, Kong felt relieved and returned to his search for spatial magic in the "Ancient Library".

Perhaps because he helped the three siblings in their predicament, Sora received a blessing from heaven and successfully repaired a magic book entirely about spatial magic. What surprised Sora even more was that this magic book recorded two spatial spells, both of which belonged to the category of "lost magic".

If there was anything that Kong found regrettable, it was that both spells were defensive. His persistent problem of lacking offensive spells remained unresolved.

Chapter 010 "The Garment of Emptiness"

"Sky Garment," despite having "garment" in its name, has nothing to do with clothing. It is simply a defensive magic that can deflect enemy attacks by distorting the space around the user.

It is worth mentioning that it is a type of self-disciplined magic. It is a self-disciplined defensive magic that integrates the user's five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) as well as intuition and magical perception.

In other words, without the user actively activating it, the magic itself can automatically judge the situation and distort space to defend itself based on the information perceived from seven aspects.

This deeply shocked Sora. Although Makarov had told Sora that magic actually possessed its own consciousness and emotions, Sora had never believed such a thing. He at most thought that only summoning magic possessed consciousness and emotions, such as the celestial spirits summoned by celestial spirit magic.

However, the emergence of autonomous magic has forced Sora to seriously examine the laws governing magic in the Fairy Tail world. The magic here seems somewhat different from the rigid laws she had imagined, where one could obtain corresponding magical effects simply by paying for magic power.

However, this is not something that can be understood in a day or two. Sora can only put this issue aside for the time being and focus his attention on cultivating the "Clothes of Sora".

Yes, while autonomous magic is highly intelligent, it requires gradual development. The stronger the user's perception in all seven aspects, the faster its reaction speed in defense. Increased actual usage will also improve its reaction capabilities.

During her recent battle with Gray and the others, Sora didn't dodge at all, directly taking their attacks to test and train the reaction capabilities of the "Sky Garment." The results were far better than Sora had imagined. The "Sky Garment" completely deflected all 10 ice spears of Gray's "Ice Form: Lancer" on its first activation.

Of course, it's not without its weaknesses. Each time it warps space, it consumes at least 100 units of magic power, making it a relatively magic-intensive spell. Furthermore, once used, it must remain active; turning it off will reset all previously accumulated experience points.

Fortunately, its continuous use consumes very little mana, only 1 unit of mana per hour. In Fairy Tail, a world where you don't need to do anything and your mana can be fully replenished in an hour, this consumption is practically negligible.

Besides, another weakness of the "Void Garment" is its inability to withstand continuous, area-of-effect attacks. After all, the range and duration of each spatial distortion are limited. However, this weakness can be overcome by using the "Void Shield."

Overall, the "Void Robe" greatly enhances Sora's strength. With the Void Robe, Sora can completely ignore the opponent's attacks and freely approach to launch an attack before his magic power is exhausted.

Gray and Natsu are no match for Ku now. Even Erza would struggle to defeat Ku if she donned the "Black Knight" armor. Erza doesn't yet possess the "Heavenly Wheel Armor," but once she can summon a barrage of flying swords with it, Ku will be finished.

If it weren't for the extremely specific prerequisites for using the other lost magic, "Circle of the Sky," which Sora cannot use right now, Sora's power would rise to another level.

As I said before, take it slow. After all, we've only been in this world for less than a year. In that short time, Kong has already found two spatial magic spells and two spatial magic array spells. That's already quite remarkable.

By the way, Gildarts, the guild's strongest mage, returned once during this period. However, he and Sora didn't interact much.

Gildarts seems to like Natsu a lot, whether it's because he sees his potential or likes his straightforward personality, Sora doesn't know. However, they really do look like a father and son.

Gildarts didn't stay in the guild for long, leaving after a few days. Meanwhile, Sora, seemingly still basking in the favor he had received for helping others, soon received another precious gift.

That day, while he was struggling with a herbal compendium written in a rare ancient script in the "Ancient Library," Sora suddenly sensed that the teleportation magic circle he had set up near a certain city had malfunctioned!

This is extremely rare! Empty magic circles are usually set up in sparsely populated, very hidden locations. Moreover, these magic circles are carved on stone slabs and then buried underground. Apart from space-type mages, other mages should have a very hard time finding them.

After thinking for a while, Kong still felt that something was amiss. Therefore, he teleported to the nearest point to that city and then used "Move" to reach the location of the malfunctioning teleportation magic circle, intending to investigate.

Sora had imagined many possible scenarios, and he had even replenished his magic power in advance, preparing for a tough battle. But when he arrived there and found only a white egg with strange patterns, Sora didn't know how to react.

This is an egg, the egg of a "Transcendent". Normally, Sora shouldn't have known this so clearly, but this morning, Natsu also found an egg that looked very similar. The guild has become quite lively because of this.

Sora knew that the egg would hatch into "Happy," one of Natsu's most important partners. In comparison, it's not hard to understand that the egg before us is also an egg of a Transcendent.

But even if it's the egg of a transcendent being, how did it manage to make the empty teleportation magic circle disappear?

Sora carefully tried to pick up the egg from the ground, but found it seemed to be stuck to the ground, not moving at all. Upon closer inspection, Sora realized that the spot where it was stuck to the ground was exactly the same as the spot where Sora had buried the stone slab inscribed with the teleportation magic circle!

Kong closed his eyes and released his senses. To his great surprise, he discovered that the egg of the transcendent was actually absorbing the spatial magic power that the teleportation magic circle was naturally condensing! It was for this reason that the teleportation magic circle had failed.

"Alright, if you need spatial magic, I can give it to you. Please don't linger on my magic circle." Kong said to the egg on the ground with a hint of helplessness.

Then, strangely enough, the egg seemed to understand Kong's words, obediently leaving its spot and rolling to Kong's feet.

Seeing this, Kong shook his head and could only pick it up, then take on the role of a human egg incubator. He originally wanted to give the egg to Mira and the others, but after finding that the egg was stuck to him and he couldn't remove it, he had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, this one wasn't too difficult to hatch. After Kong performed two complete meditations, the released magic power completely satiated it. Next, all that's needed is for it to digest this magic power before it can hatch.

Sora returned to the "Ancient Library" with the egg and continued to struggle with his herbal encyclopedia. If the egg hadn't been still beside him, occasionally wobbling to assert its presence, Sora might have forgotten about it altogether, so engrossed in his reading.

Before nightfall, the egg finally hatched. Unsurprisingly, a kitten emerged (don't ask why a cat hatches from an egg)—light purple, fluffy, and incredibly cute.

(New character enters, applause)

Chapter 011 Xun'er

Calling it a kitten isn't entirely accurate; it's a kitten that can walk upright on two legs, talk, and fly using "wing" magic. Since he hatched it himself, Sora decided to give it a name. Of course, before that, he needed to determine the gender of this "Transcendent."

Fortunately, although the kitten couldn't speak yet, it could understand what Sora said. The two could communicate in a simple way. Soon, Sora found out her gender and named her "Xun'er".

At first, Sora named the kitten "Lavender." Lavender does exist in this world, so the name isn't strange; anyone who hears it will immediately understand its meaning. Of course, the inspiration came from the kitten's color and the herbal illustration in her hand.

But the kitten didn't seem to like the name. There was no other way but to change it to "Xun'er." This name, like "Kong," has a somewhat oriental feel.

Xun'er was very well-behaved, or perhaps she was a little tired from being a newborn. She flew onto Kong's head, lay down on it, and quickly fell asleep.

When Sora returned to the guild with Kaoru that evening, it caused an immediate sensation. Natsu was extremely disappointed when he learned that the egg he had found might not have hatched into a dragon, but rather a kitten. However, he had no intention of giving the egg he had found to anyone else.

Because she was being "harassed" so much by the female members of the guild, Xun'er used a "teleportation magic circle" spell to teleport the group of female members out of the guild, which attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone realized that this kitten was not only cute, but it could also use magic and might become an aid to Sora in completing his mission.

Sora was also surprised. It turned out that "Transcendents" could master magic other than "Wing" magic. But when did she learn the "Teleportation Magic Circle" spell? And her proficiency was even higher than Sora's, who had practiced for half a year; she drew it in the air in an instant!
