Chapter 478: Arc of Time (Second Update)
Chapter 478: Arc of Time (Second Update)
However, after a round of complaints, Jerry was somewhat impressed.
The guild master actually ignited a Magic Flame in his hand, burned all the complaint letters, and then shouted out the Fairy Tail guild's philosophy in a louder voice:
"None of that matters! Let the Magic Council's councilors eat shit! Whatever happens, I'll take the blame. You just need to follow your hearts and bravely advance, honing your magic skills. That's what it means to be a Mage of Fairy Tail!"
Hearing the guild master's words, the Mages who had been hanging their heads low suddenly burst into excited cheers.
At that moment, Mira Jane beside Jerry covered half her face and muttered softly:
"Oh dear, the guild's finances are going to be in the red again!"
"It seems the situation isn't as easy as the guild master up there made it sound."
Jerry's expression turned thoughtful upon hearing this.
He had been pondering how to learn the unique Magic from all the Mages in the guild later on. Violence was definitely out of the question. While Makarov's Magic Power was a bit weaker than his, Jerry still wasn't sure about the exact strength.
The amount of Magic Power was related to strength, but it couldn't be the sole determinant of a Mage's power.
More importantly, that didn't align with his character.
He might not be a hero, but he wasn't a bandit either; he had his own principles.
He preferred to exchange knowledge through peaceful and fair transactions.
After Makarov's passionate speech, everyone returned to the previous convivial atmosphere of drinking and chatting. However, with many chairs broken, many Mages were now sitting on the floor.
"Since Natsu recommended you, there's no problem. First, let Mira Jane do a simple registration for you, then we'll stamp you with our guild's Guild Mark, and you'll be official Mages of Fairy Tail!"
Makarov, sitting at the bar, took a swig of his drink and smiled.
At that moment, Mira Jane approached with two forms and a Guild Mark stamp.
"Really that simple!"
Jerry took one of the forms and looked at the required information, showing a slightly surprised expression.
He had expected the application form to require a lot of detailed personal information, given that Fairy Tail was the kingdom's top guild and would certainly need to verify new members' identities.
To prepare for this, he had used the Soul Seize curse to gather information from several people before coming, crafting a fairly comprehensive and flawless background.
For example, where he lived, how many family members he had, and who his Magic mentor was.
He had even considered intercepting any Fairy Tail members who might come to verify his information and using Memory Erase and Memory Modify to alter their memories.
However, the form only required two pieces of information: name and most proficient Magic!
Not even age was needed.
"Isn't this too simple?"
Lucy, who had already received the form, echoed Jerry's thoughts.
According to Lucy, normal Mage guilds were quite strict in reviewing the information of new Mages.
Mira Jane squinted and smiled as she explained:
"Every Mage who comes to Fairy Tail has their own past and their own story. Once you join Fairy Tail, you become our friend and family."
Trust is the most important thing between partners and family, so it doesn't need to be so complicated!"
"Fairy Tail being the strongest guild must be due to more than just strength."
Hearing Mira Jane's words, Jerry couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.
Although the Mages in the guild often bicker and fight, it was clear that everyone had a good relationship. The level of trust and respect they had for the guild and the guild master was very high.
Perhaps, as Mira Jane said, no matter where the Mages came from, they had all come to regard this place as their home and the other Mages as family.
"Celestial Magic, a very rare form of Magic. Yes, that's good. Keep it up, and you'll surely become a great Mage in the future!"
Makarov took the two sheets of paper Mira Jane handed over, first looking at Lucy's, a look of encouragement on his face.
Lucy immediately straightened her back:
"Yes, Guild Master, I will work hard!"
Makarov nodded, then turned to Jerry's sheet:
"Restoration Magic? What kind of Magic is this? I've never heard of it before!"
"Guild Master, it's a Magic that can repair objects. Let me show you."
Without further explanation, Jerry waved his hand toward the hall and cast the Restoration Spell.
Instantly, the tables and chairs that had been mostly broken in the hall were restored to their original state.
Makarov's eyes widened at the sight:
"This is... the Arc of Time, a form of Lost Magic!"
Seeing Jerry's Restoration Spell, Makarov immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The Arc of Time is a form of Lost Magic, a type of Magic that, according to the records of this world, no longer exists. It can revert objects to their past or future states, but it has no effect on living beings.
This Magic isn't particularly powerful in terms of attack, but it can play a crucial role in certain situations, even turning the tide of a battle.
However, the number of Mages with the talent to learn this Magic is extremely rare, and it's unlikely that even one will appear in a century. Therefore, it has been classified as Lost Magic.
"Arc of Time, Lost Magic?"
Jerry's heart skipped a beat. The Restoration Spell indeed has some principles of time Magic, but it's not entirely the same, as true time Magic can do more than just repair objects—it can also revert to the past or travel to the future.
In fact, Jerry knew true time Magic, but at his current level, he could only use it stably with the help of a Time-Turner. However, he could still stop time in a specific area or influence time within a certain range.
If time Magic exists in this world, it might mean that his own time Magic could make some breakthroughs. That would be good news.
"Very promising, very promising indeed, Jerry. Are you interested in becoming a guild employee?"
Makarov stood up from the bar and placed his somewhat short arm on Jerry's shoulder, his eyes filled with appreciation for Jerry.
No wonder the news from Hargeon City said that the Fairy Tail members had destroyed half the port but were not held responsible. It was because of Jerry, the Mage who could use the Arc of Time.
That troublemaker Natsu, after all these years of causing chaos, finally did something good for the guild.
Now the guild's finances will finally be saved, and they won't have to listen to the old fools from the Magic Council nagging all day.
