Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

【Who are you?】

A passing mage, having heard of a rain goddess residing here, has come to pay her a visit. Could you please stop the rain outside?

"…I'm sorry, I am the Rain Woman. I also hate rain, but where I am, the rain will never stop."

Is it really impossible to control well? Is this a common problem with LV4 magic?

It's truly a shame that someone of this caliber is buried in this small village.

"Would it be convenient for me to visit you in person? I'd like to make friends with you."

【Friend??! Of course! Please come in!】

Juvia was about to get up to open the door when a mysterious pink-haired figure suddenly appeared before her eyes. She exclaimed in surprise:

"Handsome, handsome guy!"

Abbot's mood suddenly improved. There were still discerning people in this world, and his initial liking for the Rain Woman increased significantly.

The girl in front of me had sea-blue curly hair, wore a very conservative cotton coat and a tall hat, covering herself up completely. She was holding a teru teru bozu doll and had an exaggeratedly cute expression.

"Hello! I'm Juvia, please take care of me for the rest of my life!"

"?"

Aibo, puzzled, reached out and shook her hand:

"Hello, Miss Juvia. I am Abbot, a mage who happened to be passing by. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm so happy! Is it... is it time to confess? But Juvia isn't ready yet!"

"??"

What is this girl muttering to herself? She doesn't seem very bright.

"I'm so sorry! It's been so long since I've spoken to anyone! You're so beautiful, it's making Juvia's heart flutter. No, wait, I'm sorry, I don't want to marry you. Are you here to date me?"

"???"

Wait, is this guy just a hopeless romantic? This outrageous delusional ability is comparable to Levy's insane mind.

Aibo took a small step back and gave an awkward laugh:

"Miss, please have some self-respect... I'm just here to make friends..."

"You...you hate Juvia too? I'm sorry! Juvia will disappear right now!"

This girl is prone to bursting into tears at the slightest provocation, and her emotions are unusually turbulent.

"Oh no, no—!"

The next instant, the entire room was engulfed by a flood that appeared out of nowhere. Aibo appeared in the rain outside in a flash, and was caught off guard, getting soaked to the bone.

In the end, my clothes were still soaked.

Feeling the chaotic, haphazard flow of water elemental magic in the air, Abbott was already red-faced from this inexplicable development.

"That's enough!"

In the next instant, Aibo transformed into a giant of light a hundred meters tall, a thick pillar of light piercing the sky, and intense light erupted from him, with a strong gale instantly scattering all the clouds in the sky.

The sunlight slanted down, making the enormous giant of light appear even more sacred.

"Is the sky...cleared?"

Juvia, who had transformed into a stream and was about to run along the river, was stunned when she saw the clearing sky.

Whether it was the azure sky or the giant of light, she couldn't take her eyes off them.

Can humans be this beautiful?

Chapter 71 Juvia Rocks

"I'm sorry... please forgive Juvia, Juvia didn't mean it... I'll clean it up for you right away!"

Under the light of the Giant of Light, the Rain Girl, who had finally calmed down, curled up in front of Abbot and used her magic to draw the moisture from Abbot's soaked clothes.

She controls the water flow as if it were instinct. Theoretically, with this level of control, she shouldn't be unable to control the rainy weather.

Perhaps it's because he grew up in a village and never learned magic theory or found the right method?

And that wasn't the only thing that surprised Abbot:

"Juvia, I saw your body just now... it seems to have turned into water?"

"Ah? Yes, yes... Juvia's body is made of water, like this..."

Juvia's entire arm turned into water, and even his clothes turned into water!

"No, no way! Elementalization? Really?"

Abbott was shocked. Was this really something that LV4 level magic could achieve?

Are high-level elemental magic really that powerful?

Or is it that... Juvia's water magic awakened at... LV5!?

"I'm sorry... Juvia has been like this since she was little, Juvia didn't want to... Juvia is a weirdo..."

Juvia sadly lowered her head. A freak like her would surely be hated, right? No, she'd already done something hateful. It didn't matter anymore. From now on, Juvia could just stay in a dark, damp corner and slowly rot away...

"Why should I apologize? Your talent is amazing, isn't it!"

"Huh? Huh?!"

Abbott was filled with excitement. This was the second person Abbott had ever seen whose magic level might have reached LV5 (the first was Gildarts), and she was even a little girl. This was definitely worth studying.

"Do you know what a mage is? You're not some weirdo, you're a born mage. Your magic is probably more powerful than most people's entire lives of practice. All you need to do now is learn to control your abilities!"

"Juvia is...a mage?"

"That's right! You're a mage, and so am I. In the outside world, there are many people like you and me who can use magic; you're not special..."

No, you are indeed a bit special, but your talent is a kind of luck that many people envy. You're just trapped by this backward village!

"Huh? Huh?!"

Xiaoyu was at a loss, but a new light was shining in her eyes.

Juvia's magical reaction isn't particularly strong, probably not even as strong as Natsume and the others, maybe around 4 or 5000, but her water magic level is definitely far ahead.

The ability to elementalize the body and objects—perhaps this is a characteristic of LV5 magic?

If this deduction is correct, then wouldn't that mean that if my light magic reaches LV5, I can become light?

Those are really hot Thai pants!

Aibo vaguely grasped some inspiration: there must be a "watershed" between LV4 and LV5, a certain qualitative difference.

Just like Gildarts's shattering magic, it's not just simple shattering. His shattering attacks have a certain "conceptual" quality. Abbott had seen him shatter a puppy into a pile of tiny puppies. The expressiveness of that magic was simply unbelievable. Therefore, Abbott believed that his shattering magic was at level 5.

Now, Abbott has encountered a second LV5...

He made up his mind that he had to find a way to bring this Rain Woman back to the guild and have her cooperate with his research. He was really curious about this level of power.

"So, Juvia, come with me. This village is just a cage trapping you. Your true calling lies in the outside world, if you wish..."

"I do!!!"

Before Abbot could even extend his hand, the girl in front of him lunged at him fiercely and grabbed his hand. Her eyes turned into strange red hearts, making Abbot feel that something was not right.

"Um, okay, okay, but you don't need to get so worked up..."

"When are we getting married?!"

"Huh?! I'm inviting you to join my Mage Guild! What are you thinking?! Don't let your mind wander!"

Abbott couldn't help but shout angrily, because he could hear what Juvia was thinking at that moment, and it was really unbearable to hear.

"Huh? Is that so? Okay, then Juvia is willing too."

Juvia lowered her head shyly and asked:

"Then may I ask, Lord Aibo, after I join the guild, can we date?"

"?"

Abbott paused, a pleased smile curving his lips, and asked mischievously:

"Oh? You like me a lot? We've only just met."

"Yes! Yes! Juvia fell in love with you at first sight! Look at our hair, mine is light blue, and yours is cherry red. We're a match made in heaven!"

"Hehehe, you're not that old, but you've got a lot on your mind. I didn't have a chance to tell you before, but I don't actually look like this. This appearance is the effect of a transformation magic."

The next second, Abbot transformed back into his original ten-year-old form, and under Juvia's dumbfounded gaze, he proudly flashed a peace sign:

"Hehe, I'm actually only ten years old. Are you sure you want to date a little kid? This blue-haired lady."

"You, you, you... Huh??!"

Jubia's brain overloaded, his eyes turned into mosquito coil-like eyes, and he temporarily lost his ability to speak.

Abo laughed with delight at the sight. Heaven knows how much he suffered at the magic academy, unable to reveal his identity or play pranks on others.

That's exactly the look on Juvia's face he wanted to see! Hahaha!

"Alright, enough joking around. Hurry up and pack your things and come with me. Hmm, if you don't want to pack, that's fine too. I can help you move your whole house. What do you think?"

Juvia was still in a daze, completely lost in thought. Was this considered heartbreak? Did she? Did she not? Probably not.

After recovering, Juvia shook his head and said:

"No, there's no need to move. I don't have anything important. I'll just leave like this. I don't really like this desolate home either."

Afterwards, Juvia packed a small package of luggage, and Abbott saw her stuff it into her body.

"??? Can your body store things?"

"Huh? Isn't it inconvenient to carry this? Our village is quite remote; the nearest town is half a day's walk away..."

"...Is that the point? Never mind, it's not important. We don't need to walk. Have you forgotten how I got into this room? My specialty is spatial magic. Let's go, I'll take you straight back to the guild."

As Abbo spoke, he took Juvia's hand. Juvia shuddered, sensing something was amiss, but before she could think any further, the scene shifted, and she found herself in a bustling place that resembled a tavern.

"Hey! Guild Master! Look, Abbot's brought a pretty girl back to the guild again!"

"Is she a newcomer? As expected of Abbott, he has excellent taste!"

"What?! Abbott, that idiot! He never does anything productive all day long, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Just as Juvia was at a loss, she saw Abbot, now dressed in different clothes, float up to her with a sincere smile:

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Ms. Juvia."

Chapter 72 Speculations about LV6 Skills

Makarov was drunk again today, sitting on the guild counter, stretching out his hand and groping at Abbot, already somewhat carried away with his smugness:

"Abbot, you're really lucky! Juvia is a rare talent, and her village is in the Wraiths' territory. If left unchecked, she'll definitely join the Wraiths in the end. You did a great job!"

"Grandpa, please drink less. You're not young anymore."

"Haha! Whatever! I'm happy today! Abbot, if you ever come across another genius like this while you're out and about, remember to bring them back! Our guild can afford to support them! Ahahaha~"

Even Laxus, who was going through a rebellious phase, surprisingly did not contradict the chairman and agreed with Ebo's approach.

"The people you've brought back to the guild recently, Abo, are indeed quite good. Whether it's Mira or Juvia, only people with such strong talents are suitable for our Fairy Tail."

"Hey! Laxus! Guild members aren't chosen based on talent!"

Aren't you happy too?

"It's certainly good to have a talented partner, but we can't judge a person solely by their talent!"

"Tch, I can't be bothered with you."

Laxus turned and left. Makarov was both anxious and angry. After drinking too much, he felt increasingly wronged and cried. He went to Abbott to complain.

"Abbot! Look at Laxus! If only that idiot were as sensible as you!"

"...You two, grandfather and grandson, can have some fun without me."

Several days have passed since Juvia successfully joined Fairy Tail. With her strength, beauty, and, most importantly, eccentric personality, she blended into the guild very naturally.
