Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

[Word Magic LV2, 7364/100000]

[Magic Control LV2, 1415/100000]

[Meditation LV1, 9156/10000]

In just over a year, I gained three more Level 2 abilities, and the data shows that when specializing in a particular ability, one can gain approximately 3 experience points per year.

Assuming Abbot is a native with good talent, it would take him a few days to learn a spell to reach LV1, half a year to reach LV2, four to five years to reach LV3, and fifty years to reach LV4. LV5 would be almost impossible in his lifetime.

This shows just how exceptionally gifted a genius is in self-awakening magic.

It's fair to say that Abbot's ability to awaken at LV4 with telepathy is likely the pinnacle that an ordinary person could only achieve in a lifetime.

Of course, skill level and personal strength are not directly related.

After a year of studying magic, Abbott had come to understand one thing: battles between mages are actually battles of magic power.

If magic power is a numerical value, then magic is a mechanic.

Therefore, a contest between magic levels is only meaningful when the magical power of two mages is not significantly different.

If a mage's magical power is overwhelmingly strong, then even using only LV1 level magic, they can crush the opponent on the other side.

Of course, that doesn't mean magic level is useless.

There are counter-relationships between magics. In most cases, there will not be an absolute magical suppression in the battle between mages. Moreover, there are many variables in the battle, and there are naturally various games of strategy.

For example, Gray's ice magic and shape magic are both at level 2, but his magic power is only around 200+. Abbot's fire magic is at level 1, and his shape magic is at level 2, but his magic power is over 500.

If the two fight using only these two types of magic, the outcome will be unpredictable. If Abbot then uses LV2 spatial magic, Gray will most likely lose.

However, Gray's energy and strength far exceed Abbott's. If both of them run out of magic and start fighting hand-to-hand, Abbott will definitely lose again.

If it were Erza, it would be a different story. Erza's energy, strength, magic power, and magic level are all much higher than Gray's, so the battle between the two is completely one-sided.

Judging strengths and weaknesses cannot be done by looking at data on a single ability.

In addition, if the two combatants are evenly matched in terms of magic power and both use the same type of magic, then the skill level advantage becomes absolute.

A while ago, a guy named Valen joined the guild. He learned telepathy magic, but his skill level was only LV2. When using telepathy magic at the same time, he was completely suppressed by Abbot.

Abbot could detect the fluctuations in his telepathic magic, eavesdrop on the information transmitted in his magic, and even forge false information to insert into the other party's magic.

Conversely, Valen was completely unable to detect any trace of Abbot's telepathic magic. This kind of magical duel between two magics of the same type with a difference in level was a complete dimensional reduction attack.

Of course, if Valen's magic power were as strong as Gildarts' or the Guild Master's, it could also influence Ebo's telepathic magic.

It can only be said that in the game of magic, the weight of magic power is still too high. As long as the value is high enough, magic is the power of miracles.

The president said that some people are like the protagonists of shonen manga, able to ignite their emotions in battle and unleash magic power far exceeding their own in a short period of time, thereby turning the tide of battle.

In response, Abbot could only comment that this magical world was too idealistic. He didn't consider himself the type of player who relied on emotional outbursts, and he knew he would be easily killed if he encountered such an enemy.

Sure enough, I should become the Sword God of Shili Slope and train to the maximum level before venturing out.

Far away.

除了这几个比较核心的技能在，艾博还学会了非常多LV1的魔法，能叫的上名字的就有…【粉碎魔法LV1】【火魔法LV1】【冰魔法LV1】【强化魔法LV1】【烟魔法LV1】【光魔法LV1】【雷魔法LV1】【土魔法】【木魔法】【巨人魔法LV1】【变身魔法LV1】【水魔法LV1】【砂魔法LV1】【影魔法LV1】【卡牌魔法LV1】【金属魔法LV1】…

Because the cost-effectiveness of learning a new spell is so high, Abbot learns it whenever he has free time. He has basically upgraded all the spells he can learn to LV1, and forcibly raised the spells he couldn't learn to LV1 using his Inspiration Points.

Abbot may not be the most powerful young man in the guild, but he is definitely the young man who has mastered the most magic.

No one would argue if I said I was now an all-elemental mage.

Moreover, Abbott's current source of inspiration is...

Inspiration Points: 660528

Yes, with 660,000 Inspiration Points, averaging 50,000 Inspiration Points per month, Aibo barely spent any and has been hoarding Inspiration Points all along.

These inspiration points are enough for him to upgrade six LV2 skills to LV3, but... Abbot still feels that collecting them is too slow.

After all, these inspiration points seem like a lot at first glance, but even if you use them all, it's not enough to upgrade a skill from LV3 to LV4.

At this rate, it would take ten years to barely level up a skill to LV5! How many decades does one have in a lifetime? How can I be the most powerful being in the world with such slow leveling up? Sigh, this cheat system is just too weak.

It would be great if inspiration points could be added to three-dimensional magic...

and many more.

Am I overlooking something?

"Abbot, Abbot~"

His thoughts were interrupted by the girl's call, and in the next instant, Aibo was already downstairs at his own building.

Because he loved teleportation so much, Abbott had gotten into the habit of instantly appearing behind someone whenever they called him, which was the main reason why he gained so much experience in spatial magic so quickly.

"Sister Kana... what's wrong?"

Today, Kana wore a floral dress. As she turned around, her black hair brushed against the tip of her nose, carrying a sweet scent unique to young girls. Her eyes held undisguised joy, and her lips were full of smiles.

"Abbot, we made plans to stargaze together tonight, right? I'm here to keep my promise!"

"Uh, it's only afternoon."

"We need to prepare! Come on, let's go shopping with your sister and buy a bunch of delicious food!"

Since Erza saved enough money to move out of Ebo's house half a year ago, Cana finally gave up on her futile attempts to challenge Erza, and their match ended with a score of 81 to 0.

In fact, Cana's magic power is not much less than Erza's, and she is definitely one of the best among her peers. The main reason is that although card magic is highly functional, it is really just average in combat.

Abbot also learned card magic, which is a very versatile spell that can be used in combination with various other spells. It is very powerful when used as a support or logistical spell, but it is awkward to use it as a primary spell.

Ebo also advised her to learn a different kind of magic, but Cana didn't seem to care much about it. Without Erza's pressure, she even became lazy when it came to training.

When Gildarts came back before, Cana would often try to get his attention by talking to him, but after several subtle hints failed, she simply gave up. Now, even if Gildarts comes back, she doesn't care anymore and focuses all her attention on Eber, becoming a complete "brother-obsessed" person.

Abbott didn't know how to evaluate Cana. If he had wanted to clarify the misunderstanding that she was not Gildarts' illegitimate son before, now that his relationship with Cana was no different from that of relatives, it seemed that it was no longer important to talk about it.

Abbo treats Kana like a younger sister, and Kana dotes on Abbo like a younger brother. They each treat each other well and get along harmoniously.

"Tonight is July 7th, X777 [the day of the conjunction of the sun and moon], which is a very rare celestial event. My divination indicates that tonight is a night of destiny, and something good is bound to happen. There is a high probability that there will be a shooting star!"

Kana, holding Abbot's hand, looked smug and happy.

"On such a special day, my brother and I definitely have to spend it together. Maybe we can even make a wish upon a shooting star!"

Chapter 21 The Promise Under the Stars

That night, there was a lunar eclipse.

("I'm back")

"Did you... hear anything just now?"

"no!"

There are three deck chairs side by side on the top floor of Abbot's house, but Abbot is the only one lying on them.

Beside them, Cana and Erza stared at each other, or rather, Cana was glaring intently at Erza. Erza ignored the murderous look and calmly said:

"Sorry, I didn't hear it either. I don't think anyone was talking just now."

"So! Why are you here, Erza! Tonight is supposed to be my and Albert's family gathering, what are you doing here!?"

Erza tilted her head:

"I'm Abbott's sister, I'm family too, why can't I be here?"

"ha!!?"

"Ahem, stop fooling around, look, there's a shooting star!"

Aibo no longer cared about the sounds he had just heard; he probably overheard someone's thoughts nearby.

A shooting star appeared where he pointed.

"Where?! Wow! It really is a meteor—wait, isn't the trajectory of this meteor a little weird?"

Erza nodded in deep agreement:

"Indeed, there are even shooting stars that fly backwards..."

"Seriously, is that really a shooting star? It seems to be getting closer and closer to us."

Then the three of them saw the bright meteor begin to "turn" and fly downwards, getting closer and closer, streaking across the sky above Magnolia, and falling towards the eastern forest.

"..."

"Uh, a shooting star fell near our town?"

"It seems so, but why didn't I hear a sound of it landing? Did it fall a bit too far? Oh no! I forgot to make a wish! Erza, it's all your fault!"

"Nonsense."

Erza shook her head, took a few steps forward, reached out and lifted Ebo up, holding him in her arms:

"Let's watch the moon together with my sister tonight."

"Wait, wait a minute! Erza, what are you doing?! Let Ebo go! I'm his older sister!"

Erza easily knocked Cana down and said slowly:

“First of all, there isn’t only one older sister. Then, I’m the oldest, so I’m the older sister. Kana, you should call me older sister too.”

"What did you say!?"

Seeing that Cana was showing signs of transforming into a Medusa, Ebo sighed and quickly emerged from Erza's arms.

"Can't you guys just shut up for a minute? The lunar eclipse is almost over, you know. We came here to stargaze tonight, right? Can't you all just lie down quietly?"

Finally, with Abbott's coordination, he lay down on the middle deck chair, and Erza and Cana pushed the deck chairs together, flanking Abbott on either side.

The three of them stood side by side, gazing at the starry sky, and no one spoke, creating an unusually tranquil atmosphere.

Although, in Aibo's ears, the two people's thoughts never stopped.

[Whenever I'm with Erza, I always feel calm. It wouldn't be bad if things could stay this way forever... Of course, it would be even better if that annoying Erza wasn't around.]

[As long as I'm with Abbo, I don't feel lonely. I hope I can protect this happiness with my own strength... I've lost too much already, this time I won't let go.]

"..."

Abbot didn't dare say a word. Although he was happy to see the girls getting close to him, he wondered if the pressure was getting too much and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

I used to feel a bit cheated because I was born a few years too late and could only be the younger brother, but now I feel lucky that I'm still young and can only be the younger brother.

I don't know how long the quiet time lasted...

"Kana, are you living at the church now?"

"Hmph, yeah, so what? If the priest hadn't said I was too young to leave, I would have moved in with Abbott a long time ago!"

"It's nothing, it's just that I was also adopted by the church before, so I always feel a sense of familiarity with you."

"Um, I, I..."

【I have parents, okay!】

Cana blushed, knowing she shouldn't say such things, even though she and Erza didn't get along. (Unfortunately, Abbot had already heard them.)

Even if you say that, I won't be friends with you! Hmph ╯^╰

"Hehehe, I actually really like everyone in the guild, I like Aibo, and I like you too."

"What about Gray?!"

The air suddenly fell silent. Finally, Erza rubbed her forehead and sighed in resignation:

"...Grey, Grey is also very lively and cute."

Kana gave a mischievous laugh:

"You can have Gray as your younger brother, and Abbott is mine!"

"I do not want it!"

Erza sat up in her chair, the two looked at each other, and after a moment, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"..."

As Abbot mourned for Gray, he covered his face with his hands. He wasn't laughing; he just sensed something was off about the two of them, that the atmosphere was strange. He decided to obediently play the role of "his sister's plaything" tonight.

Erza sighed helplessly:
