Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

This guild has nothing but amazing people. Juvia only becomes eccentric when things involve Abbot, which is already considered normal.

Juvia is often seen acting as an "alternative disciplinary committee member," criticizing guild members everywhere.

"Natsu! Don't cause trouble in the guild! What if you set a bad example for Ebony!?"

"Wakaba! Can you please not smoke in front of the children! What if you set a bad example for Abbot!?"

"Grey! Can't you put your clothes on properly?! What if you set a bad example for Abbott?!"

Everyone in the guild laughed at Abbot for bringing home a mother figure because of this.

But this only happens when Abbot is in the guild. Once Abbot is gone, Juvia ignores everyone.

She would only hide in a dark corner and mutter strange things like, "Four years old isn't too old," "Just wait a little longer," and "A few years will be just right."

Abbott knew what Juvia was thinking, but as long as there was no misunderstanding about his gender, Abbott never refused any girls who liked him; the more the merrier.

He neither takes the initiative nor refuses; his main principle is universal love.

Although Juvia is love-struck, her values ​​are still quite normal, unlike Levy's twisted nature. Because she can't express her love to Abbott for the time being, she has chosen to become a "sister fan" who is obsessed with her brother.

After only a few days in the guild, Juvia was surprised to find out... that Abbot's sister was a little bit pregnant.

Juvia's romantic radar instantly kicked in. She decided to observe secretly for a while, clarify the interpersonal relationships within the guild, and then infiltrate the enemy's ranks to prepare for her next move.

Abbott didn't pay attention to Juvia's mysterious actions because he had been spending a lot of time studying magic with her these past few days, so Juvia had been in a good mood lately, and the "Rain Woman" phenomenon had never occurred again since she joined Fairy Tail.

This incident proves that Juvia is actually able to control her abilities. The key is her emotions, which affect her control over magic and the release of "rain magic".

Yes, rain magic, the so-called rain woman phenomenon is actually a special kind of water element magic.

It's quite difficult to learn. Anyway, Abbot didn't learn it with just LV1 water magic. I feel like he would have to upgrade water magic to LV3 or even LV4 to use it.

This is an extremely rare field spell, yet Juvia used it passively. She didn't even realize she possessed such a spell; Juvia had no idea how powerful her abilities were.

After several days of research, Abbott has gained a relatively deep understanding of Juvia's abilities.

It's almost certain that Juvia's water magic is definitely LV5; she is a born "water spirit," or rather, a water witch.

Juvia not only possesses exceptional talent in water magic, but she can also actively elementalize her body and the objects she comes into contact with, giving her a higher priority in controlling water elements within a certain area.

Abbott has a theory that LV5 magic already involves the power of "concepts" and "authority," which is qualitatively different from the magic of the previous levels.

However, Juvia's strength is somewhat unworthy of this level of water magic. On the one hand, her magic power is not very strong, and on the other hand, her water magic is not powerful enough in terms of attack. Of course, Juvia's lack of imagination and inability to fully develop her abilities is also one of the reasons.

Aibo didn't say anything about this, but just gave Juvia a copy of the Naruto manga and told her to go and study water jutsu. If she could develop a "Hidden Mist Technique", her strength would increase several times over. If she could create a "Water Severing Wave Technique", probably few people in the guild could beat her.

However, compared to Juvia's magical research, Abbot was more concerned with something else: whether there was a Level 6 above Level 5.

If such a thing existed, what level of attainment would it represent?

In Abbott's understanding, someone who has completely mastered the authority over a certain concept should be able to call themselves a god.

Could the "gods" who once existed in this world, according to legend, be related to that higher level?

Since there are humans like Juvia who awaken to LV5 magic upon enlightenment, could there have been "gods" in the distant past who awakened to LV6 upon enlightenment?

When he thought of this, Abbott's imagination ran wild.

Let's make a bold assumption: the gods of the past were all naturally powerful beings with LV6 skills. So how did such powerful beings perish?

The answer seems to lie in history: the gods were brought down from their pedestals by dragons, so dragons are very likely a group of super-powerful creatures that all possess at least level 5 skills.

The existence of the Dragon Seeds also proves this point. The Dragon Seeds themselves have a very strong "conceptual" nature. Natsu's "Fire Seed" can devour flames, Wendy's "Sky Seed" can devour positive energy, and Eibo's "Time Seed" can also devour the power of time and space.

Therefore, the power levels in this world have been declining, and now humans with LV4 level abilities are already extremely powerful.

As far as Abbot knows, although the guild master has incredibly strong magic, he doesn't actually know any LV5 level skills.

The president's light magic is at most level 4, and Abbot can already see the limits of his abilities.

While a high skill level doesn't necessarily mean someone is extremely strong—Juvia isn't particularly strong right now—a low skill level certainly prevents one from reaching higher levels. In this respect, Juvia, who was born with LV5 water magic, is clearly ahead of everyone else.

Abbot didn't mean anything by saying this; he just wanted to say that he had a system where you could increase skill levels by adding points.

Based on the pattern shown by the system, it takes 10 million inspiration points to upgrade from LV4 to LV5, so it would take about 100 million to upgrade from LV5 to LV6.

One hundred million... If Aibo saves an average of 600,000 inspirations a year, it would take him 160 years to save up one hundred million.

This is obviously a somewhat disheartening number, but... what if this really is a shortcut to becoming a "god"?

It only takes a little over a hundred years to cultivate into a god; even dragons without a system would be envious.

I feel like my future is bright! Anyone understand?

Aibo, it's already on fire.

Chapter 73 is Fairy Tail Chapter 80!

The fantasy period may end, but life goes on.

Level 6 magic is still a long way off for Abbot. His current goal is to upgrade his Body Tempering Magic to Level 4 once he has completed more than half of his experience progress.

His current progress is: [Body Tempering Magic LV3: 28.7%], [Inspiration Value: 658761]

There's a good chance we'll reach level 4 in Body Tempering Magic by the end of this year or early next year.

升级完锻体魔法后就该轮到【文字魔法LV3：46.1%】、【空间魔法LV3：40.4%】、【光魔法LV3：35.9%】、【附加魔法LV3：12.2%】这几个核心能力了。

Upgrading one to LV4 per year is not a problem, and it should be possible to upgrade all four in three years.

By then, my magic power should be in the tens of thousands. While others might have at most one level 4 skill, I'll have several. I'll probably be invincible among my peers.

Just as Abbot was envisioning a bright future, he was suddenly surrounded by Natsu and Gray, along with a group of his underlings.

These guys looked suspicious; they all had malicious smiles on their faces.

Abbott is alert:

What do you want?

"Yo~ Abbott, all the girls went to some fashion show today, no one will bother us! Hahaha! Let's have a duel! Let's have a real, bone-crushing clash!"

"That's right, why is it always us who get taught a lesson, while the girls never bother you? That's not fair! Speaking of which, you've never sparred with us since you joined the guild! You're a bit of a loner!"

"Love! Let's fight, Abbot!"

Aibo: ?

This must be 80, right? This must be 80!

Abbott pointed to himself, looking somewhat bewildered:

"You...want to fight me?"

Natsu waved his fist and grinned.

"That's right! The president says you're strong every day, so today we're going to test your strength! Don't worry, we'll control our strength! We definitely won't hurt you, hehehe~"

【It's all Abbot's fault! Happy gets chased and bullied by Ailu and Charlu every day, and today I'm going to get revenge for Happy!】

Gray, unusually, didn't contradict Natsu:

"Abbot, you're not a child anymore. What's with hiding behind women all day?! Let's have a real man's duel!"

【It's all Abbot's fault! He's made me get chased and yelled at by those women every day. I'm going to get my revenge this time!】

"..."

Aibo was speechless. "You two are really vengeful. And what does this have to do with me? If you're so capable, go bully the cats and girls. Why are you bothering me, a model student?"

Laxus, who had been quietly listening to music, also looked at Natsu and the others with a surprised expression, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding it in.

"Laxus! Want to come and challenge me?"

Faced with Natsu's provocation, Laxus finally couldn't help but laugh out loud:

“Idiots, wait until you can beat Abbot before you talk. I’m not lying to you about this. Abbot is much stronger than you.”

Everyone's perception of magic is different; downward compatibility is easy, but upward exploration is difficult.

Laxus's mana is currently growing rapidly, reaching over 30,000, which is about to exceed Ebony's perception limit.

Laxus could sense that Ebo's magic power was approaching the threshold of S-class. Although Natsu and Gray were also talented, their combined magic power was only enough to rival Ebo's.

While strong magic doesn't necessarily mean strong strength, Ebo's talent in spatial magic can put even Laxus under pressure. Beating Natsu and Gray would be a piece of cake for him.

Laxus has absolutely no faith in Natsu and Gray.

"What!? Even Laxus says so, does that mean Ibo is really that strong?"

"No, Laxus means Natsu can't beat Ebon? Damn it, does this mean even a ten-year-old kid is going to surpass me now?"

Natsu wasn't surprised, only delighted:

"Oh ho ho ho! So that's how it is!? Then let's have a real battle, Abbot! Let me see what you're made of! I'm fired up!"

Gray, on the other hand, sensed something was wrong. Laxus wouldn't lie about something like this. Did he really think he was no match for Abbot?

How is that possible?! Abbott is only ten years old!

Aibo laughed. He had long since passed the point where he was easiest to bully, and now he was no longer afraid of anyone in the guild!

"...Fighting isn't out of the question, but based on what I know about Natsu, if he loses to me, he'll definitely keep bothering me every day. I don't want to fight Fireman every day."

"What?! Damn it, Abbott, how dare you be so arrogant?!"

"Wow! Abbott is so arrogant!"

Natsu exploded at the slightest provocation, rushing forward to grab Abbot, but Abbot easily dodged. He flew through the air, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and chuckled:

"A duel is fine, but how about we make a wager?"

"Okay! Let's go!"

"I haven't even finished speaking yet, aren't you going to listen to the bet first?"

Ebo floated back and circled around Natsu and Gray:

"I'm going to challenge both of you at the same time. If you lose, you'll have to defeat the other person first if you want to duel me again. How about that? It's a simple bet, isn't it?"

"Alright! No problem! Let's fight!"

"Idiot! The two of us against Abbot? We'll get torn to shreds by those women!"

Abbott shrugged:

"Now it's my turn to challenge the two of you. It's not up to anyone else to say anything. Gray, are you scared?"

"Afraid? Me, afraid!?"

Gray's instantaneous red temperature:

"You still haven't said what you'll do if we win!"

"Um, I didn't expect that possibility~~ If I lose, how about I call you guys 'Big Brother' from now on?"

"Alright! It's a deal! Let's fight!"

"Ohohohohoho!!!" x108

The challenge was set, and the guild immediately erupted in excitement! It even startled Aibo.

"Natsu and Gray! Go! Give Ebo a good beating! I've been wanting to get rid of this kid for ages!"

"That's right! This brat is always being chased and pampered by a bunch of girls, and he has more money than he can spend without doing any work! How come he gets all the good things! He has to be taught a lesson!"

"Go for it! There are also big brothers who play with fire and ice!"

"..."

Seeing the "passionate" scene before him, Abbott's lips twitched. How could he not know that he was so "unpopular"? Aren't we good partners in the guild?!

"You bunch of bastards! You're from the 80s! You're from the 80s! How could you bully a ten-year-old child! You have no heart!"

Aibo is usually very popular in the guild!

But today it seems all the girls went to that fashion show, even Elu was lured away by Levy, and the guild leader is nowhere to be seen. In such a large guild, not a single person is there to support me!

Although Aibo knew they were mostly joking, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Damn it, these petty adults! All I do is take pictures of them making fools of themselves and share them everywhere, occasionally say a few harsh truths to amuse people, and am a little bit cute and popular with girls... that's all!

Is it really necessary to target me like this?!

It seems it's time to show these idiots what real strength is! Aibo's long-term training with Erza in combat is no joke!
