Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

"Haha, big sister has lots of books here, not just magic books, but all kinds of books! Do you need me to recommend a few to little brother?"

Abbott looked at the bookshelf in Levy's room, which was filled with novels. Inspired, Abbott paused, as if he had discovered something.

That's it! Novels! I think I could make money by writing books!

"Levy, may I read these novels?"

Da da da!

Levy instantly appeared in front of the bookshelf, her face slightly flushed, and forced a smile:

"Ahem, some of these novels aren't really suitable for kids. Let me recommend a few to my little brother."

"Pfft, Levy, you're not reading some really awful book, are you?!"

"No way! Anyway, just listen to me!"

[Thank goodness! These books mustn't be seen by children.]

Levy hurriedly took some books out and put them on a high shelf, then handed two picture books to Albert.

"My younger brother will probably like this one."

Upon looking at the cover, it read "The Legend of the Sacred Stones"? After flipping through it, I realized it was just a children's book, completely lacking any reference value.

"Levy, I don't want to read this kind of book. Do you have any currently popular novels?"

"Huh? This... is also available."

Levy was a little surprised; it seemed little Abbot was more mature than she had imagined. Then she took out another book:

"This novel, *The Legend of the Magic Heroes*, is the most popular novel right now. It tells the story of a powerful dragon-slaying hero who defeats an evil dark mage hundreds of years ago. I really like it too..."

"Wait, little Abbot, didn't we come here to learn magic?"

"There's no need to rush. Didn't Sister Kana say she was taking me out to play?"

"That seems to be true... Levy also recommended a novel to me! Are there any adventure stories where the main character is older?"

"Huh? Let me look for it..."

Aibo took the novel and sat down to read it. It was a fairly traditional hero story, with a good writing style and a plot that was quite dramatic.

But in the eyes of Abbott, who came from the information age, it's just so-so; people in this world still lack a bit of imagination.

I feel like my idea of ​​becoming a plagiarist works. It's about making money, so I don't need to worry about so many things.

Kana and Levy sat to one side, reading and chatting.

"Levy, you read so many books that have nothing to do with magic, so you don't have much time to practice magic. If this continues, it will affect your strength in the future."

"Hmph~ That's why I chose to learn word magic. Reading itself can improve my understanding of word magic. My usual way of practicing is to copy magic books, which kills two birds with one stone!"

A sudden inspiration struck:

"Then can't writing be a form of magic practice?"

"That's right! Many magicians have the habit of writing books, and some books are even a form of magic in themselves. The power of words is very strong!"

"Please teach me word magic! Please, Levy."

At this moment, Aibo was more serious than ever before.

If writing itself can be a form of magic practice, then I could gain experience while writing books, and most importantly, I could make money at the same time. That would be perfect for me.

"Huh? Little Abo isn't reading anymore?"

"I've finished reading it. It's boring. I think I can write better than him. Let's learn magic instead."

"Hahaha, little brother, you're really bold! I like confident boys."

"Hey, Levy, don't you dare lay a finger on my little brother! Abbott is mine!"

"Kukuku, I'm going to steal my adorable little brother away!"

The two girls were playfully fighting, and innocent Abbot was being tossed around like a doll. The room was filled with the children's laughter.

The room was filled with a pleasant fragrance (not really).

From then on, Abbot had another place to have afternoon tea in Magnolia.

Levy's bedroom became the trio's secret hideout.

Gray was unaware of this.

Chapter 10 I'm writing Naruto while writing Fairy Tail

A week later, Abbott brought his latest creation to Levy's house.

"Naruto... Ninja? Did you write this yourself, Aibo?"

Levy picked up the notebook with the title "Naruto - The Legendary Story of the Eastern Magicians" on the cover, her face full of surprise.

"That's right, it's just a small attempt. Sisters, can you help me see if I can submit it to the newspaper?"

"Little Aibo is so amazing!? I was wondering what you'd been doing all this time, hiding away and writing and drawing. Are you actually writing a novel? Let me see!"

Kana was equally shocked and huddled together with Levy to watch.

"I'm writing a fantasy story about the mysterious East of mainland China. Of course, I don't know anything about the situation in Japan. It's all fictional. I've only written ten chapters so far. Do you think anyone will like it?"

"Don't worry, the sisters will definitely taste it carefully!"

Levy and Cana started off laughing, but they became more and more serious as they read, until finally the room fell silent except for the sound of turning pages.

Half an hour later, Levy and Cana suddenly sat up and sandwiched Abbot between their left and right sides.

"What happens next? What happens next? I want to see what happens next in the story! Did Naruto and Sasuke pass Kakashi-sensei's test?!"

"Isn't this super fun!? Little brother, are you a genius!?"

Once Levy starts talking, she can't seem to stop:

"Abbott, your premise is so interesting! Hundreds of years ago, the Eastern magical world was embroiled in endless wars. Mage guilds, organized by family units, fought amongst themselves, resulting in heavy casualties. Later, two powerful Saint Mages joined forces to end the chaos."

To eliminate the influence of mages on ordinary people, the Holy Mage decided to relinquish the title of mage, transform into a shadowy figure, and hide behind the scenes as a ninja. Each country will have only one guild—no, a ninja village—which will centrally manage all commissions…

Wow! That's incredible! This is a fantastic idea from a 6-year-old!

"Levy, is that all you care about? I just want to know how the story goes! Little Abbot, give me a spoiler!"

Judging from their performance, Aibo had a better understanding of the situation. It seemed that people in this world were quite receptive to new things, so all the effort he put into modifying the device was worthwhile.

That being said, I've had a pretty good week.

[Word Magic LV1, 987/10000]

This week, Abbot focused on mastering word magic without using any inspiration points, but level 1 word magic doesn't have much offensive power.

Level 1 Word Magic allows Abbot to infuse magical power into the writing, making the written words visible, but it has no other effects.

But that doesn't mean it's useless; on the contrary, this magic is extremely useful.

After obtaining [Word Magic LV1], Abbott's overall understanding of magic improved significantly. He could clearly feel that he gained experience much faster when learning other spells!

Previously, Abbot could only gain less than 300 experience points in a day of learning fire magic, but now he can gain nearly 500 experience points in the same amount of time.

His progress in fire magic has now reached [Fire Magic LV0, 888/1000], and he will be able to learn it soon.

Word magic is like giving yourself a "gain experience points" buff, which is more useful than learning a dozen spells.

In addition, Abbot also learned Cubist magic from Levy, and some interesting things happened.

His system panel showed a situation where the skills were listed in parallel:

【文字魔法LV1，987/10000】、【立体文字魔法LV0，36/1000】

The 3D text magic appears after the text magic, rather than on a new line.

Perhaps it's because these two types of magic are of the same kind? Abbot still doesn't understand.

Moreover, the experience bar for 3D text magic is very difficult to increase, much more difficult than ordinary magic.

However, gaining experience with word magic is very easy; you just need to infuse magic into your writing as you write your novel.

In just a few days, he gained nearly a thousand experience points. If he works hard, he thinks it will only take two or three weeks to reach LV2.

His earlier guess was indeed correct; he could practice magic and make money at the same time.

This exciting discovery even gave Abbott nearly a thousand inspiration points.

The feeling of stepping on your right foot with your left foot and soaring into the sky is just so exhilarating.

Now that he's certain he can make money from the books he's copying, Aibo can pretty much relax.

"Don't rush, do you think there's anything that needs improvement in this draft? If I submit it, will I receive payment?"

Kana gave a thumbs up:

"Absolutely no problem! I've become a fan of yours, Abbott. Are there any more chapters to come?!"

"I also think it's very well written! Although my brother's writing style and vocabulary are simple, the charm of the story itself is enough to make up for these shortcomings."

Hmm, I can offer some feedback on the word choice and grammar in some places, but I think there's absolutely no problem submitting it now.

Levy is right. Abbot hasn't known this world's language for very long. Although the common language here is similar to English, there are still many differences.

He must have used the simplest and most understandable sentence structures when he wrote, and it was a novel translated from a comic. As for his writing style, well, it's at an elementary school level, which fits his persona.

"Where do you think I should submit my work?"

"The Weekly Magician Sosala?"

"The Fiore Kingdom Daily is better, the Magician Weekly's audience is only mages."

“Okay, Levy is right.”

Levy thought for a moment and added:

"By the way, it would be best if your guild leader handled this matter."

"why?"

"After all, Chairman Makarov is one of the Ten Wizard Saints and holds a very high position in this country. If he were to step forward, he should be able to secure more benefits for Abbot."

"The newspaper is only publishing the article now, it will definitely be published as a book in the future. If we don't reach an agreement, the newspaper might publish it on its own, which would be a huge loss."

Wow, Lei knows so much more than you!

"Hehe, because my home is a bookstore, I've heard a lot of similar newspaper scandals."

Abbott nodded. He was just a little kid, and if he went to talk to the newspaper himself, he would definitely run into a lot of trouble. He should ask the dear chairman for help instead.

"Hehe, why don't you take this opportunity to join our guild, Rebecca? The guild leader will definitely agree!"

"Huh? This...this isn't quite right, I haven't even mastered my 3D text magic yet..."

"What's there to be afraid of! I didn't even know magic back then. I just loafed around in the guild every day. The guild leader thought I had a lot of magic power, so he just let me join the guild."

Although I only stayed in the guild because of that bastard father.

Abbot glanced at Kana a few times, then looked away guiltily.

I wonder if it's because I told Cana that during the few days he and Gildarts were traveling, that guy slept with a different aunt in almost every village they visited...

Adding to this, Cana believed that Ebo was also Gildarts's "illegitimate son" and had been abandoned by the guild...

This caused Gildarts' reputation with Cana to suffer, and his status as a father diminished considerably.

However... it's not exactly a case of reputation being harmed. Abbott didn't lie, and Kana has been making things up on her own without verifying anything, so he can't correct her even if he wants to.

Hmm, anyway, it's all Gildarts' fault!

The three then returned to Fairy Tail with the manuscript.

Levy joined the guild without any problems.

Chairman Maklov praised Abbott's work highly and assured him that he would ask the newspaper for help.

I estimate that we'll soon see the Naruto novel serialization in newspapers around the world.

Aibo's feelings were somewhat complicated, but mostly pleasant. After all, this was his own work, and fan fiction didn't count as plagiarism of the original.

I'm rather curious about what kind of impact this kind of work would have if it appeared in another world.

The thought that future mages might start by using "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" is strangely funny.
