Chapter 277 Lucy's Night Visit
As night fell, the magical lamps emitted a soft glow, illuminating Magnolia, which was shrouded in darkness.
The small building by the river was brightly lit. Chase sat on his sofa with his legs crossed, reminiscing about the chaotic "Fairy Tail civil war" of the day.
A cup of brewed black tea sits on the mahogany tea table in front of me, its delicate aroma bringing a rare sense of tranquility and comfort.
Next to the black tea, four cards are arranged in a square: [The Sealed One's Left Wrist], [The Sealed One's Right Wrist], [The Sealed One's Left Foot], and [The Sealed One's Right Foot].
Although he was mentally prepared beforehand, Chase still felt somewhat incredulous when cards actually dropped from Mira.
The S-rank mage of the guild is actually a body part of the Dark Archmage Exodia?!
Judging by this "mechanism", doesn't that mean the final [Sealed Exodia] can be obtained from Gildarts?
Chase picked up his black tea, took a small sip, and fell into deep thought.
The possibility of this guess is certainly not low, but of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is just a simple coincidence, so his mindset is still relatively calm.
However, even if Gildarts isn't bound to [Sealed Exodia], this long-awaited battle will definitely take place—anything is fine as long as we can get some cards!
"It would be so much more convenient if there were a system panel or something like that —" Chase sighed silently.
"In that case, the idiot master's actions would be too predictable."
Beside her, the dark magician girl sprawled unladylike on the long sofa, her long, pale legs swinging casually in the air beneath her robes. "Besides, the unknown is what makes exploration more valuable, right? It's so boring if you know everything in advance~"
As the card spirit who has been with Chess the longest, she knows a lot of things and understands what the so-called "system" really is.
"Oh? That's quite surprising. You actually have such insights." Chase was slightly taken aback.
His views on the system were surprisingly similar to those of Dark Magician Girl.
"Don't underestimate me. After all, I'm a genius magical girl recognized by my master!"
"I see. Should I call out the Dark Magician to see what this genius magical girl is like, sprawled on the sofa eating potato chips, leaving crumbs all over the floor?"
"Ahem, there's really no need for that—"
The dark magician girl jumped up from the sofa with a start and sat up straight.
Lately, the Dark Mage has been dragging her along to study the space-time magic he got from Edolas. She finally managed to get a chance to go out for some fresh air, and she can't afford to be "caught" and taken back again!
"Look at you, so pathetic," Chase said with a laugh, shaking his head.
"However, this stuff is quite delicious." A cool, mature female voice came from another direction.
There, a silent magician in a white robe picked up a potato chip and put it in his mouth. After finishing, he even professionally licked the seasoning powder off his fingers.
After spending an afternoon studying the books in Fairy Tail's library, she didn't return to the card space but went home with Chess.
In her words, while magical research was important, sometimes it was necessary to allow sufficient rest time. (Actually, she just wanted to visit Chess's house.)
"But why do you lick your fingers after you finish eating?" Chase asked curiously.
I feel that such a move really ruins the image of a silent magician.
"That's what the Dark Magician Girl told me. What, is this way of consuming it wrong?"
The Silent Magician shook the bag of potato chips in his hand, tilting his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Unexpectedly adorable!
"That's definitely how it tastes."
Chess glanced at the dark mage girl, who had slumped back onto the sofa like a lump of mud, hesitated for a few seconds, and, considering the image of the silent magician, couldn't help but mention, "Don't get too close to this guy."
"Huh? What do you mean, you idiot master?!" The dark magic girl, with potato chip crumbs stuck to the corner of her mouth, immediately became unhappy.
Chase ignored him completely, turning to the Silent Magician as if he hadn't heard: "By the way, how did you find the guild's magic books?"
Upon hearing this, the Silent Magician, though still puzzled by the meaning of his previous statement, nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Very good. The magic in this world is quite different from the magic I am familiar with. Whether it is the types, attributes, or the principles of its release, it is very worthy of study, especially the so-called super magic."
"After all, they are two completely different worlds."
Chess sighed, then asked, "Where's Acreia?"
"That child's talent is even greater than I imagined. In just one afternoon, he was able to construct the prototype of a silence magic circle."
Speaking of Eclair, a hint of approval appeared in the depths of the Silent Magician's beautiful eyes, "At this rate, she should be able to cast a complete silence spell soon."
"Silence is indeed the most suitable magic for her." Chase was not surprised by Eclair's performance.
No matter what, she is a phoenix witch who has lived for hundreds of years and possesses the power of immortality. This alone determines that her potential will definitely not be low!
Furthermore, the magic in the Fairy Tail world places greater emphasis on the power of "heart and will," and the Silence Magic perfectly aligns with Eclair's belief that "magic brings misfortune," making it naturally easy to learn at an astonishing speed.
"Hehe, this is all thanks to the good foundation that my master and I laid for her~" The dark magic girl popped up again to make her presence known.
"Oh yes, yes, it's all thanks to you." This time, Chase didn't choose to ignore it and just gave a perfunctory reply.
Although it might seem like she's trying to glorify herself, what the silly girl said was indeed the truth—before meeting the Silent Magician, Eclair's magical abilities had indeed been greatly improved through the training program devised by the Dark Magician.
"So, Chase, I'll need to come out and guide that kid from time to time during this period." The Silent Magician took out two more potato chips and put them in his mouth.
Back in Fairy Tail's library, she had already formally taken Eclair as her apprentice.
"No problem, whatever you like." Chase waved his hand.
He never intended to deliberately restrict the free movement of his card spirit companions.
dong dong dong.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Chesco, are you home?" Lucy's voice came through the door.
"The door's unlocked, come on in," Chase replied.
The door was immediately pushed open, and Lucy, dressed in a blue and white striped casual outfit, entered the hall.
"Hello Lucy, why didn't you kick the door open this time?" the dark magician girl greeted.
"That's something only Natsu would do!" Lucy felt deeply offended.
His reputation has been ruined by that idiot Natsu!
"Excuse me, Chesgo."
After easily settling down on the sofa, Lucy noticed the Silent Magician sitting next to her with impeccable posture and a spotless face. "Oh? Miss Silent Magician is here too?"
"Hmm." The Silent Magician nodded imperceptibly.
Lucy, who had been smiling, stood there awkwardly for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "She's really super aloof. It's much more comfortable to be around someone who's like a child!"
She had misunderstood the Silent Magician.
The Silent Magician actually wanted to say good evening, but in his haste to wipe his mouth and hands, he forgot to swallow the mouthful of potato chip crumbs. Maintaining his image is no easy feat!
