Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

Anyway, not many people would know about this pseudonym, and he was happy to see a bunch of fools being fooled.

But what he found absurd was something else entirely: he had become a fan of a group of strange young female admirers.

A group of young girls (especially those with small breasts) thought that Abbott, who always identified as a man and was unconventional, was very cool, and even had the tendency to secretly organize a "Hannah support group".

Aibo is completely baffled by these young girls' thoughts. Normally, being showered with love letters by a bunch of girls should be a happy thing, but Aibo is not happy at all right now.

Let alone using these young girls to boost my inspiration points, Aibo himself is being teased by them. A group of girls who act like girls and like themselves, Aibo has absolutely no interest in them.

However, Aibo's "cold" attitude towards girls actually boosted his popularity again. So cool! He is the role model for female mages in our new era!

The more aloof he acted, the more popular he became with young girls. And the more popular he became because of Hannah's persona, the less happy Abbot was. It was a vicious cycle.

Aibo just enjoys watching others make fools of themselves; he doesn't want to be the center of attention like a monkey.

Aibo's daily life was severely affected; the wonderful campus life he had imagined could be declared over before it even began.

Abbott decided to ignore these brainless, stupid humans.

He didn't want to stay in this lousy magic academy for even a day longer. He wanted to learn ancient spells as soon as possible and run away!

As for the chairman's ambition to dominate the council? Heh, Abbot doesn't care!

But... when Abbo found out the requirements for learning ancient spells, he felt like the sky had fallen again.

The magic academy stipulates that only students who rank in the top ten of their grade in the academy's year-end exams for two consecutive years are authorized to study ancient script magic.

That darn president! He knew all along but didn't tell me!

However, there is some good news: if you achieve the top grade in your year for three consecutive years at the magic academy, you will have the opportunity to learn "Super Ancient Scripture Magic," which has a higher level of authority than Ancient Scripture Magic.

Aibo learned that the Ancient Scripture Magic is the ultimate version of the Ancient Scripture Magic, possessing higher operational privileges and a more comprehensive knowledge base than the Ancient Scripture Magic.

If ancient scripture magic is the mage's personal terminal, then super ancient scripture magic is the main control system, possessing the privileges of a server administrator.

Abbott would prefer to learn this.

But this means that his thought form will have to stay at the magic academy for three years.

He had considered alternative approaches, such as finding someone who knew ancient script magic to teach him directly. This year, a third-year student named Hibiki Rettis chose to learn ancient script magic.

But Hibiki had only just chosen magic and hadn't even learned it yet. Besides, this guy was like a gigolo, always trying to curry favor with "Hannah." Abbot couldn't stand it and didn't want to associate with him at all.

The magic academy is quite cunning; it only provides students with an opportunity to learn magic, but it doesn't guarantee whether they can actually learn it. The academy wants to use this method to bind outstanding students to the council.

Unfortunately, this trick was destined to be useless against Abbot. If he had any access to the ancient texts, he could have learned it.

But if there's no way to get in touch with them, then there's nothing that can be done.

Originally, he just wanted to interact with his classmates as an ordinary student, but now he can't pretend anymore, so he has no choice but to take the top spot in the college for three years.

This was a piece of cake for Abbott.

He might not be as confident as other Aibos, but he wants to compete with Aibo in learning and rolling? Haha, who can out-roll him with his cheat code?

Anyway, it doesn't matter where the thought entity practices magic, so just leave it at the academy.

So...

Hannah Abbott, a legend of the magic academy, has arrived!

In the following college tests, Abbott led everyone by a wide margin with near-perfect scores in all subjects, scaring his classmates to tears (which was one of the main reasons for his popularity).

Even the other two classmates, who also had S-level potential, were far from being a match for Aibo. After all, not everyone can learn and master anything as quickly as Aibo.

However, when it came to the other two S-class students, Abbott unexpectedly discovered something quite interesting.

They are the perennial runners-up (Zikrein) and third-place finishers (Urudia) in the academy's academic rankings.

His roommate, Urudia, and another blue-haired guy named Zikrein seemed to have known each other before they enrolled, and their relationship was quite strange.

On the surface, Ultear seems to be Zekrein's follower, but in reality, Ultear seems to be the one in control of their relationship. She is like a dog being led on a leash.

Abbott once thought that Zikrein was hypnotized by Urudia, otherwise the strange psychological activities of the two people could not be explained.

Zikrein was preoccupied with how to advance his career, how to cultivate connections, and how to infiltrate the council and become a councilor, while Ultear left all the troublesome matters to Zikrein to handle, spending her days reading in the library.

And sure enough, today Abbot bumped into Urutia again at the library.

Moreover, it was the kind of classic library encounter where both people simultaneously reach for the same book.

"Hey, Ultear, you're still so interested in time magic..."

Abbott raised an eyebrow. The last time he saw her at the library, she was also looking at books related to time magic. Could it be that she shares the same interest in magic as him?

"Hannah, it's you. You're interested in this book too? Then you can have it for now."

Ultear didn't really like her roommate, not because of his strange behavior, but because when Ebo introduced himself, he said he was good at ice-shaped magic.

She hates Ice-Magic Mages the most!

Strangely, she could even see glimpses of "old friends" in several of Aibo's attacks using the Ice Form.

They are two completely unrelated people, but I don't know why I have this strange feeling.

"Go ahead and look. There are plenty of other magic books here. I'm not in a hurry to read this one."

The Magic Academy's library is much larger and has more books than the guild's library, making it Abbot's favorite spot for gaining experience.

"Hannah is really diligent..."

"There's no other way, you can make up for your lack of talent with hard work. I'm not smart enough, so I can only read more books."

"..."

Urudia gave a forced smile, but her inner thoughts betrayed her.

This woman's magical talent is terrifyingly strong. Hopefully, she won't become an obstacle to our operation. Well, we should do some work now and then and test her.

"Hannah, do you have some time now? How about we go outside, sit down, and chat a bit about magic?"

Urudia never believed that Abbot was a man, and she wouldn't listen to explanations. She only believed what she saw and was a stubborn person.

What could such an awkward person want from him? Abbott was very curious.

"Okay, let's go."

Chapter 68: Am I Best Friends Again?

The café inside the magic academy.

Aibo and Ultear found a quiet corner to sit down, creating a wonderful "young lady's afternoon tea" atmosphere.

Urutia immediately showered him with compliments:

"I've heard from the professors that Hannah is a once-in-a-century magical genius, and I'm incredibly envious of her. Does Hannah have any study tips? How does she manage to excel in every subject?"

Aibo calmly drinks tea:

"Tricks? There aren't any. It's just ordinary learning. Even if someone is stupid, can't they learn a few spells?"

"..."

Urudia nearly dropped her teacup. Why was this guy so pretentious? Could they even continue their conversation?

"Haha, it seems that the world of geniuses is indeed different from that of us mortals."

"No, no, no, in my opinion, Ultear, you are the real genius. Your magic power is the highest I have ever seen among people your age. This is a talent that is one in a hundred. In comparison, my magic power is rather ordinary."

"Heh, maybe..."

Ultear's lips twitched. How could this guy always manage to hit her sore spots with every word he said? She'd rather not have this kind of talent for causing trouble! Anyway, let's get to the point...

"I've heard that outstanding students graduating from magic academies have the opportunity to directly enter the Magic Council, and those with talent might even become council members, the highest authority managing the magic world of the Eastern Continent... I wonder if you, Hannah, have this in mind?"

"Oh, so that's all you wanted to ask me? I thought it was something else."

Ultear wasn't embarrassed that Abbot had seen through her intentions. Most students who enrolled in the magic academy were aiming to join the council, which was an open secret, so her question wasn't abrupt.

Aibo didn't think much of it. Taking the civil service exam is the ultimate goal in any world. If it weren't for the fact that his "copyright fees" were enough to support him for life, he would also want to find a stable job to retire in.

"I'm not interested. I'm not interested in joining the council or becoming a member. I came to magic school to learn magic, and I'm not interested in anything else."

Ultear breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She didn't know why she believed Abbot's words so easily; perhaps she thought that geniuses wouldn't stoop to lying.

Since there is no conflict of interest between them, there might be a possibility of cooperation.

"Haha, I see. Hannah really is a pure mage. Let's not talk about those mundane things, let's talk about magic instead."

I also have many questions I'd like to ask Hannah, who came in first place. I noticed she's also researching time-related magic? Do you think magic like "going back in time" is possible?

Ultia had originally planned to chat casually to pass the boring afternoon, but she didn't expect that Abo's next sentence would make her stand up straight.

"Is it possible? No, this kind of magic has always existed. I've even seen people who have come back from the future."

"What!!?"

Urudia instantly lost her composure, no longer able to remain calm. She even stood up abruptly, not even noticing the cup she knocked over on the table, and her voice became shrill:

"You said you've met someone who came back from the future?! Really?!"

"Oh my~ Why are you so excited... Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Abbo tapped the table, and the knocked-over cup seemed to rewind and return to its original position like a videotape being played in reverse.

Upon seeing this, Ultear's pupils dilated in shock. Was this the "Arc of Time" magic? This woman... she even knew this kind of lost magic? Could it be that she wasn't lying after all?!

Ultear was in turmoil. Over the years, she had joined the heart of the devil, even enduring humiliation to infiltrate Brian's side as a spy, and patiently brainwashing and controlling Jellal. What was the purpose of all those things she hated?

It's all just a pie in the sky that Hades is making for himself!

Because he believed that reviving Zeref would grant him the magic to travel through time, allowing him to return to the past before all the tragedies occurred! He wanted to go back to before he was sent to the research institute, before his mother adopted those two people, to confront his mother and ask her why she abandoned him!

This is Urutia's obsession, and the only spiritual pillar that sustains her to continue living in this painful world.

As a result, a genius girl who appeared out of nowhere tells me that she has seen the magic of time travel!

How could Urudia not be excited! How could he not be thrilled!

"Hannah, no, Hannah, can you tell me about the person who came back from the future? I'm very interested!"

"...Wait, let me catch my breath..."

Abbot was also quite startled by Urutia's sudden outburst, mainly because he felt like he had just overheard a lot of incredible secrets.

The Devil's Heart? Zeref? Hades? Brian? How is this related to Gerald? Gerald, why are you everywhere? What is all this about?

My roommate seems to have quite a few secrets. What does that mean?

Aibo calmed down and focused most of his attention on the thought entity; this roommate had truly piqued his interest now.

Abbott was very curious.

"Ultear is interested in time magic?"

"Yes! To be honest, I've also learned the lost magic, Arc of Time, and its effect is similar to Hannah's magic just now. My dream is to learn the magic to go back to the past!"

Urudia stepped forward and grabbed Abbot's hand, her eyes filled with excitement:

"Please, Hannah, you absolutely must tell me about people from the future! This is the only thing I want to know, no matter what! Please tell me, I'll do anything!"

"You... really, you shouldn't just say things like that."

Aibo tried to break free, but the other person held him tightly and he couldn't break free. He sighed helplessly:

"The time travelers I've met traveled through time using a spacetime-time magical artifact. That artifact is no longer usable, so telling you won't help."

But you don't need to go to such lengths. I know the complete spell model for returning to the past, it's just that this spell isn't so easy to cast.

"What!? You even know this!?"

Abbot has thoroughly studied the spellbook "Memories of Time". The spellbook is indeed unusable now, since it doesn't react when he opens it and requires a bit of "chance" to trigger it.

He did indeed decipher the complete time-travel spell model from the book (and memorized it), but knowing it doesn't mean he can use it.

You shouldn't be able to use time magic unless you have LV5.

But Abbo clearly didn't realize the extent of the impact his words had on Urutia.

Now, Ultear's gaze towards Ebo was somewhat lingering. She stood up and sat down next to Ebo, naturally taking his arm.

“Dear Hannah, I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you. I think we can definitely become very good best friends.”

No, no, no, you hated me before we sat down for coffee.

“Urudia, please have some self-respect. And I’ve emphasized this many times already: I’m really a man.”
