Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

"Sister Kana, I think your card magic and the combination of two magic spells are the best."

"what? What?"

“Spells in textual magic, and contract summoning magic.”

"Eh... is it Levy's magic and Celestial Spirit magic?"

"Levy studied Cubist script... As for Contract Summoning Magic, it's not necessarily Celestial Spirit Magic..."

"Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand."

"I'll explain the contract summoning magic to you in detail after I've studied it. For now, Sister Kana, you can start learning spells. Word magic is the foundation of almost all magic, so there's no harm in learning it."

"Okay~ I'll do whatever Abbott says!"

Abbot now has a good understanding of most of the magic in this world, and when people talk about summoners, they always think of celestial mages.

Abbot had also spoken with celestial spirit mages, but the celestial spirits they contracted weren't very powerful.

The currently known information is as follows: Celestial Spirits' summoned creatures do not exist in this world, cannot die, and their strength depends entirely on the magical power of the mage who summoned them.

Cana's greatest talent is her abundant magical power. She can casually cultivate her magical power and still catch up with Erza's, so theoretically, Celestial Spirit Magic is the most suitable magic for her.

But Abbott believes that summoning magic doesn't necessarily have to be implemented using celestial spirits...

He has an idea, but it's uncertain whether it can be realized yet; he needs to study Protoss magic in more depth.

Before that, he needs to have a Protoss.

Chapter 23 Celestial Magic

This world has all eighty-eight constellations, just like Earth. Abbot was quite surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he decided not to delve into it further, since even time travel is possible.

The eighty-eight constellations naturally correspond to eighty-eight celestial spirits. Among them, the twelve zodiac signs have twelve unique golden keys, and there are also seventy-six silver keys that exist in multiples. These keys are linked to the celestial spirits that exist in the celestial spirit realm, forming the celestial spirit magic system.

The keys to the twelve zodiac signs are relatively rare due to their uniqueness, but the other seventy-six silver keys are not very valuable because of the varying abilities of the celestial spirits, and can sometimes be bought in magic shops.

Abbott decided to try his luck at the shops in town, so he accompanied Kana shopping for the first time in a long time.

Magnolia Town is a relatively famous city in the Kingdom of Fiore, famous because of Fairy Tail.

But Fairy Tail is both its strength and its weakness. Those who are willing to stay in this city are basically people with strong hearts who can tolerate the guild's chaos, while those who can't stand it naturally move away.

Although the city has a long history, only about 6 people have settled here permanently, which is pitifully small in Aibo's opinion.

He actually wanted to develop Magnolia Town; as the city developed, the guild would also benefit. However, he didn't have the ability to do so yet and hadn't figured out how to proceed.

However, he has plenty of time to think it over.

"Aibo, Aibo, how about I buy you some new clothes? You've grown quite a bit taller this year."

"Huh? Whatever, I don't really care about that..."

"Hehe, let me help you choose~ Leave them all to your older sister!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Kana."

Abbot is actually a person with low material desires. He cares more about spiritual fulfillment and is usually quite lazy when it comes to things he doesn't care about much.

He's fine as long as he can eat and wear clothes. He knows he has some cooking skills, but he's too lazy to cook. He also wears most of the clothes he bought when he first arrived.

He has high requirements for where he lives because sleep quality is related to his mood, so he values ​​this and his sleeping place must be comfortable.

He was happier about the fact that "someone was willing to buy him clothes" than about the new clothes that Kana bought for him.

Yes, the thought is more important than the gift, that's what Abbo thinks.

After strolling around the shopping street several times, they bought quite a lot of things, big and small. If it weren't for their LV2 spatial magic, which allows them to create a small personal space, neither of them would have been able to carry so many things.

Finally, Kana led Abbot to the town's largest magic item shop:

"Boss, do you sell Protoss Keys here?"

"Oh, it's Kana. Are you switching to Celestial Spirit Magic?"

"No, no, it's my little brother who wants to buy it. Look! This is my little brother, Abbot. Isn't he cute!"

Kana was very familiar with the owner of the item shop. Due to their "holding" characteristics, magic cards belonged to a unique magical craft. In this world, their ecological niche was similar to that of "magic scrolls," and they were frequently used by mages for trading.

In other words, Kana is actually a "talisman master". The main reason she chose to learn card magic is because magic cards can be sold for money.

After all, a stubborn person who wouldn't even let his own father cause him trouble wouldn't accept the church's help with a clear conscience.

When Cana joined Fairy Tail, she was 6 years old, just like Ebo. At that time, she couldn't take on many requests, so from the very beginning, when choosing what kind of magic to learn, she had to consider how to support herself as quickly as possible.

Over the years, Kana has done a great job. Not only has she paid off her debts, but she also regularly donates money to the church, buys food for children in orphanages, and now she even has spare money to buy new clothes for Abbot…

These "little secrets" were pieced together from information that Kana mentioned casually during a chat. She herself didn't think there was anything wrong with her initial choice, but Abbo felt quite sorry for this older sister, as card magic was actually not worthy of her talent.

It's all Gildarts' fault!

"We do have Celestial Spirit keys in our store, and we even have three types: Canis Minor, Lepus, and Pegasus. The first two are very popular pet Celestial Spirits, while Pegasus is a flying mount-type Celestial Spirit. These keys are very sought-after!"

What are the prices?

"Canis Minor's key is 2 J, Lepus' key is 5 J, and Pegasus' key is 20 J. Because of Kana, I can give you a 9% discount."

Upon hearing that it was so cheap, Abbot waved his hand generously:

"I bought all three!"

Thank you for your patronage!

As Aibo flipped through the "Star Spirit Contract Guide" given to him by the shop owner, he accompanied Kana toward the guild.

Although in Magnolia, he could go anywhere with just a thought, and his teleportation could even bring people with him, Abbot wouldn't use magic while strolling with a girl just to save a little time.

"I find Celestial Spirit magic surprisingly interesting. It involves combinations of various spells and is much more powerful than I imagined..."

"Hehe, little Aibo really loves learning all kinds of magic. He has the air of a scholar at such a young age. He will definitely become an amazing great mage in the future!"

"Don't you think studying magic is a very interesting thing, Sister Kana?"

"Hmm, magic is interesting, but it's also very difficult to learn. It's already quite an achievement for an ordinary person to master even one type of magic."

Moreover, most mages are only interested in using magic; very few delve into its intricacies like Abbott.

Okay, that's because I have a cheat code. As long as I read books and study magic, I will gain experience. No matter how difficult the magic is, I can learn it instantly with just a little experience through "inspiration". I have never experienced the pain of not being able to learn magic.

Moreover, once you've learned magic, looking back at its basic principles gives you the illusion that "it's actually quite simple."

Therefore, having learned a great deal of magic, Abbot possesses an astonishing foundation in magical theory, and this rich knowledge will accelerate his experience acquisition when learning magic.

It is precisely because of this "left foot stepping on right foot spiraling and flying like a snowball" learning method that Abbot has always felt that learning magic is a joyful thing, and the positive feedback is just too much.

"Huh? I always thought people only learned one or two spells because they didn't have enough energy. Is learning magic really that difficult?"

A (╬▔皿▔) popped up above Kana's head:

"...Even if it's Abbott, he should be prepared to get beaten up for saying such outrageous things!"

"Sorry for my question... In that case, I will create a summoning magic that Kana can easily learn as well."

Kana froze, then suddenly grabbed Abbot's shoulders in surprise:

"Huh? Wait a minute? Do you mean, Abbot, you're learning Celestial Magic so you can create a new summoning spell for me?"

Abbott nodded:

"Yes, although I'm not sure if it will succeed, that's really what I think. Many spells in this world aren't actually that complicated. As long as you understand the principles, creating magic isn't that difficult..."

But Kana's eyes were sparkling; she seemed to be focused on something else entirely.

"Just for me? To create magic just for me!?"

"Uh... yeah."

"Wow! Mua!! I love Abbot the most! I must be the happiest older sister in the world!"

"..."

Aibo, who was being held in Kana's arms like a rag doll, smiled helplessly, feeling that he still didn't quite understand the heart of a young girl.

Oh well, as long as Kana is happy.

Chapter 24 The Path of Magic: A Long and Arduous Journey

The guild has been busier than usual lately.

Because a troublesome newcomer joined the guild—Natsu, who can eat fire.

His destructive power as a single brat is equivalent to that of 10 adults. I heard that Natsu even burned down the boys' dormitory.

That day, the student council president picked Natsu up and scolded him for a long time, and warned all the boys that if they damaged the dormitory again, they would not be allowed to rebuild it.

But Natsu is a complete devil; he can fight Gray seven times a day, and he burned down the guild several times, which made Makarov so angry that he almost lost all his hair.

This chaos continued until... Erza returned to the guild after completing her quest.

"You two! Get along well! Do you understand?!"

"I understood..." x2

"No more magic in the guild! No fighting! Understand!?"

"I understand..." x2

Two large pig heads knelt properly in front of Erza, not daring to breathe.

"Yes, good boy, you should learn more from Abbot. He is younger than you, but he is much more sensible."

On the other side, seeing Erza heal the Spirit Pig Demon Orb in an instant, Cana felt very bored. She had originally wanted to join forces with the three of them to overthrow Erza's iron-fisted rule, but now it seemed that there was no chance.

"Sigh, Erza is just too overpowered. I guess only Laxus can beat her. That girl might not be able to beat her this year, but she'll definitely be promoted to S-class next year. An S-class at 16 or 17 years old... I'm so envious."

"He's getting old, but in a few years, Sister Kana will definitely be able to do it too..."

Abbot was a bit aloof and absent-minded, because he had been incredibly busy lately, almost to the point of madness, ever since he started learning Celestial Magic.

Abbo was scribbling something in his notebook, while Kana sat beside him, holding a pink "puppy" with a round head, round face, and a drill-like nose.

This pink puppy is a celestial spirit of the constellation Canis Minor. It has a contract with Abbot that allows it to be summoned anytime, seven days a week. The amount of magic needed to maintain this puppy is less than the amount Abbot can replenish, so it's kept as a personal pet.

A few days ago, after successfully summoning the Celestial Spirit, the skill "[Celestial Spirit Magic LV0: 1/1000]" appeared on Abbot's panel. It seems that as long as the summoning is maintained, the experience points will increase.

The problem was that the experience gain was slower than ever before. Several days passed, and he only gained 4 more experience points, even though he was constantly summoning celestial spirits and maintaining the Canis Minor constellation.

This only shows that he has a very poor compatibility with Protoss magic, or that his method of practicing Protoss magic is completely wrong.

It doesn't matter that magic is hard to learn, since Abbot has cheat codes anyway.

He then directly invested 1000 points of inspiration, and then... something terrible happened.

The Protoss magic shattered instantly, vanishing completely.

【星灵魔法LV1】→【空间魔法exp+1000】+【链接魔法LV1】+【星辰魔法LV1】+【时间魔法LV1】+【契约魔法LV1】+【灵魂魔法LV1】+【异构魔法LV1】

At that moment, this sudden change completely stunned Abbot; he never expected that a Protoss spell could cause him such a huge problem.

So what the system means is that what seems like a simple Celestial Magic that anyone can learn is actually a super composite magic composed of seven profound spells!?

Abbott's experience was truly eye-opening. Who would have thought that he could learn six spells he had never encountered before with only 1000 inspiration points?

But this also means that if he wants to master Celestial Magic, he may have to spend 7 times the experience points!

Spatial magic needs no introduction; the ability to summon celestial spirits from another dimension certainly involves profound spatial magic. Link magic is the magic that creates a magical link between a mage and a celestial spirit. Celestial magic, on the other hand, utilizes the power of stars.

The effects of all three types of magic are very noticeable.

But he had no clue about time magic. Abbot tested it and found that he could only reverse the "time" of inanimate objects, and the effect was limited. He didn't know where the Celestials used time magic.

There's not much to say about contract magic. In this world, it often exists in the form of contracts and is very common in merchant guilds, but ordinary mages use it less often.

Soul magic was a pleasant surprise for Abbot. He had originally planned to learn the [Thought Body] clone magic in a while, as Thought Body is a type of soul magic. Now that he had learned soul magic in advance, learning Thought Body later would definitely be much more efficient.

As for the last heterogeneous magic, he was completely stumped. It was a magic he had never even heard of before, and Abbot suspected that even the name was something the system had made up in its head.

He tried using and experiencing the magic and discovered that it was a magic that could transform the attributes of magic, such as converting fire magic into ice magic, with energy loss in the process.

I don't quite understand how to use this magic yet. I guess it's about converting the power of stars into magical power?

Because of the sheer volume of information, Abbott felt like he was going to develop a brain, but he also had a feeling that he had inadvertently discovered some incredible secret.

So recently, Abbot has been organizing knowledge about Celestial Magic. If the relationships between the various spells are not clarified, then the creation of summoning spells is out of the question.
