Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

There's not much to say about skill levels; Abbot keeps pushing various experience bars, but leveling up to LV4 isn't easy. The only one worth mentioning is [Time Magic LV2].

Time magic finally leveled up after Abbot's persistent efforts, and then... he gained the ability to send inorganic matter to the future.

He can select a stone and send it to the future, a few minutes from now. The stone will disappear during those few minutes and then suddenly reappear at some point.

This ability is quite interesting, somewhat like the effect of the "Time-Time Fruit," but it suffers from the drawback that it can only work on inanimate objects and cannot be used to send people into the future.

According to the president, this magic has already taken the form of "Fairy Ball," and he might actually be able to learn this super magic once he reaches S-rank.

Abbott reserves his opinion on this.

Before they knew it, it was time to send the thought entities to the magic academy.

Abbott is allocating his abilities to his mental entity. To make school life easier, he's distributing most of his magic power to the entity, roughly 5000+.

To avoid revealing their identity, the Thought Entity is forbidden from using light magic, and physical skills are also sealed. Spatial magic cannot be revealed, and flight is forbidden. Only text magic can be used, and as for elemental magic... ice magic will be the best choice.

Because I occasionally use ice magic to cool down when the weather is hot, over the years, I accidentally leveled up my ice magic to LV2, which is enough to cover up my second identity. I'll cosplay as an ice-shaped magician!

And then there's another, most important thing.

Abbott was caught in a distressing dilemma.

Does he really want to become "Hannah Abbott"?

Although I'm just enrolling under a name and don't actually have to transform and lose Gigi, what I'm losing is my integrity!

However, on the other hand, having a different gender identity would be perfect, and no one would ever guess that this person is related to them.

Sigh, it's not fair to blame the president; blame me for being too good-looking.

There's really no loss. It just means becoming more gender-neutral. If someone guesses you're a girl, you just explain that you're a boy. If they guess you're a boy, you just show them your student ID.

I'll definitely have to go into the men's restroom, and if someone complains, I'll just blame it on the college.

Anyway, it's just using a fake identity to learn magic at the academy. Nobody knows it's really me, so I can just bear with it.

And it's quite interesting to think that other people question their existence because of their gender.

Cast aside unnecessary constraints, and with a single, wicked thought arises, the world suddenly seems vast.

Aibo has taken another step further down the path of shamelessness!

Chapter 66 My roommate is Ultear

Aibo didn't make any major changes to his mental form, nor did he turn into a girl. His facial features became softer and his figure became a little slimmer, making him look somewhat different from the original fifteen-year-old version.

Although I have no intention of becoming a woman, I still need to disguise myself. I can't just look exactly like I did when I was 15, otherwise all this disguise would be for nothing.

Abbott also wanted to enjoy the pleasure of fooling people.

The thought body took away a lot of magic power, about 80%, which made the main body feel a bit weak.

However, his main purpose is to train his body, so a lower level of magic power doesn't matter. In fact, a main body with only about a thousand magic power is more in line with his nine-year-old child persona.

"Abbot, remember to take good care of yourself while you're traveling alone..."

In some secluded corner, Abbot sent out his Thought Entity, intending to sneak away from Magnolia. Only Chairman Maklov saw him off.

"Don't give me that! You're the one who sent me out, hmph! Once I've made it big in the council, I'll get my revenge on Fairy Tail!"

Since the "Thoughtful Being" doesn't have a guild crest, strictly speaking, it's not a member of the guild.

"Sigh, actually I regretted it a little afterwards. After all, you're still just a child... Just to prove a point, it feels a bit..."

"Hmm? Be ambitious? What do you mean by being ambitious?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. Didn't I fight with Joseph of Ghost Revenant at the end of last year? That bastard actually said that our guild was a bunch of illiterate people. How could I tolerate that? So I taught him a lesson. But it's not quite satisfying to win against him with force, so I thought of sending you to the magic academy to give that bastard a good slap in the face."

"Huh? But nobody knows I'm from Fairy Tail... How are you going to embarrass me like this?"

"Hey, that's not important. As long as you don't have a guild crest, it'll be fine with the council. Don't worry about how it'll backfire later, just leave it to me!"

Aibo: ?

This old geezer, he keeps all the showing off and slapping himself in the face to himself, and dumps all the hard work on me, huh?

I'll remember this grudge!

"Alright, you don't have to treat me like a child. I'm not so bad at taking care of myself."

Abo's expression suddenly stiffened. There was neither Valkyrie nor Palico on the other side of his mind, so it seemed... he really might not be able to take care of himself.

Never mind, it's not a big problem. As long as he leaves spatial coordinates at the magic academy, he can recall his thought form and teleport it back at any time.

"Let's go, old man!"

"Call me 'President'! You have no manners!"

"A little bit!"

The object of longing quietly departed.

The magic academy established by the Magic Council is also located within Fiore's territory, even near the royal capital, "City of a Hundred Flowers," because a neutral kingdom as "loyal" as the Kingdom of Fiore is truly useful.

So now Aibo needs to take a train to the capital. As for why he's taking a train instead of teleporting, it's because he doesn't have a map and doesn't know the coordinates of the capital.

But after arriving in the capital, I still had to follow the instructions on the admission notice to find the academy. I don't know why they hid the academy so well.

After wandering around and passing through several villages, and even dealing with a few magical beasts along the way, Abbot finally arrived at the magic academy.

"newborn?"

"Yes."

"name."

"Hannah Abbott".

"Let me see your admission notice... Local recommendation, from Magnolia... Okay, here is your student ID, please keep it safe. Next, please go to the first teaching building to test your magic power. Just keep walking straight ahead from here."

"...Thanks."

Abbott passed the first check very easily, so easily that it even made him feel a little uneasy.

No, buddy, I wasn't wearing a skirt either. Although I did soften my facial features, shouldn't my gender be questioned?

[Another pretty girl has arrived. The quality of this year's freshmen is quite high. It's just a pity that her figure is so-so.]

"..."

Before he even started fooling others, Abbott felt like he was being fooled. Why did it feel different from what he had imagined?

It shouldn't be the prosecutor nervously approaching to ask about the gender, Abbott smiling slightly and introducing himself as Hannah, then calmly walking away amidst the shocked and bewildered stares of others...

Shouldn't the script be like this?! Something's not right!?

Could it be that the problem isn't with others, but with myself? I only slightly adjusted the lines; does it really make me look that much like a woman?

Abbot walked into the academy's first teaching building somewhat blankly, and saw many freshmen lining up to test their magic power.

Similar to the stereotypical testing process, the name was called out, and then people went forward to touch the crystal ball, judging the magic strength based on the brightness of the crystal ball.

“Zekrein Fernandez!”

A boy with blue hair and a strange tattoo on his right cheek stepped forward, and the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light.

"S-rank qualification! Class One!"

Wow, this branch is a bit shabby. If he were to come, he'd definitely need a branch hat.

"Urutya Mirkovich!"

A beautiful girl with long, straight black hair, around 15 years old, walked up to the crystal ball, radiating a light even more dazzling than the boy from before.

"S-rank qualification! Class One!"

The students watching began to whisper among themselves. After all, students with S-level qualifications were rare, and they hadn't expected to have two this year.

Abo then sensed the magical power of the two students from earlier. The blue-haired boy's power was slightly lower than Erza's, around 6000.

But the magic power of that beautiful girl with long black hair was actually comparable to that of Erza. I never expected there to be so many geniuses in this world.

"Hannah Abbott!"

Soon it was Abbot's turn to go forward, and unsurprisingly...

"S-rank qualification! Class One!"

The discussion among the crowd grew louder, and even the instructors couldn't help but join in.

"There are actually three S-class beings this year!"

"Students with S-level qualifications can directly enter the council after graduation. They might even become council members in the future. This year's students are amazing."

"There are also two beautiful girls; this year's freshmen are lucky."

"..."

Abbot turned and left with a cold face. He had just observed and determined that anyone with over 5000 magic power could be rated as S-rank, so he was not surprised by the result.

To his surprise, no one seemed to think there was anything wrong with him being paired with the name "Hannah Abbott".

Damn it, are you all blind?!

Abbott craves being questioned and derives pleasure from others' hesitation and suspicion, but if no one questions him at all, then he can't be happy!

Next came the dormitory assignment process, which greatly disappointed Aibo.

He thought he would be able to share a dorm room with a beautiful girl, but it turned out that the magic academy was not short of money at all. Every student who enrolled was assigned a luxurious two-bedroom dorm room, which meant he would have an extra roommate.

And Abo's assigned roommate is... the most talented black-haired beauty in this year's class, Ultear Mirkovich.

"Hello Hannah, please take care of me in the next few years."

"...Hello."

Abbo and Urudia shook hands, and the other maintained a polite smile throughout, seemingly unaware that anything was amiss.

"Um... I mean, don't you think there's something wrong with me?"

Aibo, suppressing his embarrassment, took the initiative to ask. Urudia looked Aibo up and down and smiled:

"Hannah, you're very pretty. I'm so glad to have you as my roommate!"

"..."

Abbott's eyes were somewhat lifeless; clinging to his last hope, he tried to hear astonishment from someone else:

"Actually, I'm a guy, but there was a little accident, and my student ID only shows me as female."

Urudia's expression stiffened for a moment, then she looked at Abbot more closely before giggling:

"Haha~ Hannah, that's not a funny joke. It's okay, it's okay, I won't interfere with your personal preferences~"

[She's a really cute roommate, but unfortunately she's not quite right in the head. Her name is Hannah, how could she possibly be a boy?]

Abbott's heart sank completely: I, Strawberry, confessed.

After a moment of silence, Abbot smiled with relief.

There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this.

It doesn't matter anymore, believe it or not, I, Aibo, will show you what the Iron Hat King is all about!

Chapter 67 The Elite Student of the Magic Academy

Aibo had planned to outdo his classmates in pretending to be candy when school started, but he suffered a crushing defeat.

Instead, his classmates unanimously identified him as a "cross-dressing beauty" with an eccentric personality, which made him a little depressed.

Before enrolling, he had considered many possibilities for what a magical school life might be like, but he never imagined this one.

When someone is good-looking enough, even their rudest behavior will carry an air of elegance. When classmates look at Aibo, it's as if they're wearing a filter.

No matter how he explained that he was a man, claimed to be a man, or acted and behaved like a man, no one believed that he was really a man.

Instead, strange rumors circulated in the magic academy that "among the three geniuses who enrolled this year, there is a handsome guy, a beautiful girl, and a beautiful girl who likes to call herself a handsome guy."

He tried to make candy but ended up looking like a little sugar man instead; that's just unbelievable.

If that's all there is to it, Abbot wouldn't mind. Being good-looking is never a bad thing. Once he accepts his beauty, he's invincible!
