Chapter 482: The Four S-Class Mages (Second Update)
Chapter 482: The Four S-Class Mages (Second Update)
"Already bought it, it's at 25 Sylva Street!"
Jerry smiled in response.
At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at Mira, the mage whose magic power in the guild was second only to the master. She was truly so kind and gentle.
She was very good and caring to every mage in the guild, and it seemed like she never got angry.
"Ah, that's close to Lucy's rented place. Yesterday, Lucy said her place is at 23 Sylva Street."
Mira's expression showed surprise.
Jerry nodded:
"I just found out from Natsu that Lucy's place is so close to the house I bought."
After a brief chat with Mira, Jerry approached Master Makarov, who was holding a smiling cane.
"Master, I bought some magic books to study yesterday, and I have some questions I don't understand. I'd like to ask you for some guidance!"
"Oh, it's Jerry. What questions do you have? Feel free to ask."
Makarov, who had been dozing off, opened his eyes and saw Jerry. Without hesitation, he agreed.
He had promised Jerry this yesterday and intended to keep his word.
Moreover, helping the guild's mages better understand magic was part of his responsibility as the master.
However, it was a common belief among the mages in this world that magic could only be truly understood and improved through battle. Reading books alone was not enough.
Thus, when mages took on missions, it was not just for the money but also to encounter different enemies and enhance their magic. Few mages spent their days at home studying magic.
"Master, I read a book about Shaping Magic yesterday. I have three questions, two insights, and one immature idea."
"Good, Jerry. It seems you have a strong aptitude for Shaping Magic. Let me explain, Shaping Magic primarily involves..."
Makarov nodded and began answering Jerry's questions.
While his expertise lay in Giant Magic and Light Magic, he had knowledge of most other types of magic. Although he wasn't a master in every field, he could easily handle the basic questions Jerry was asking.
"Master, I also read a book about Transformation Magic yesterday and have some questions to ask you."
Jerry's eyes lit up with satisfaction at the answers he received, gaining a new understanding of Shaping Magic. He then proceeded to ask about Transformation Magic.
Makarov was somewhat surprised and began explaining again.
He hadn't expected that Jerry had read two different magic books in one night.
"Master, I also read a book about Reception Magic yesterday."
Makarov: "?????"
After two hours, Makarov, feeling parched and hoarse, stopped his explanations and said to Jerry:
"Jerry, your desire to learn magic is commendable, but I must tell you that to become a powerful mage, you shouldn't spread your attention too thinly across all types of magic. This will only lead to mediocrity.
Focus on the magic you are best at, and use other types of magic as supplementary. This is the path to true achievement."
In those two hours, Jerry had asked about a dozen different types of magic, and even Makarov was starting to feel overwhelmed.
He couldn't fathom how Jerry had managed to read so many magic books in one night.
However, the words he spoke to Jerry were indeed heartfelt.
"President, I understand. I know I'm curious about all types of Magic and want to learn more."
Jerry knew that today was enough for a first day. He didn't want to push President Makarov too hard, as it could lead to a potential change of heart later on.
After all, the stream should flow steadily!
Most importantly, the knowledge he gained today from Makarov was enough to keep him busy for a while.
After two hours, the number of mages in the hall gradually increased. Some had just completed their missions and were resting, while others were picking new tasks, ready to set out.
This time, Jerry didn't head straight home to continue studying and experimenting with the Magic insights he had just gained. Instead, he started engaging in conversations with the mages present.
His goal wasn't to become overly familiar with these mages; he just needed to know their names and the types of Magic they used.
This would make it easier for him to gather advanced Magic knowledge from them once he mastered the basics.
Since he was generous with his drinks and his Time Arc Magic was beneficial to the guild, the mages in the guild had a good impression of him.
In half a day, he gathered the information he wanted from the mages, along with some unexpected insights.
It turned out that the Fairy Tail Guild, known as the strongest guild, had even more formidable strength than what he had seen so far.
Besides the Saint-Class Mage President Makarov, the guild had four incredibly powerful S-Class Mages:
- President Makarov's grandson, the powerful Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage Laxus Dreyar, who led his own Thunder God Squad. Known for his temper, he didn't get along well with most of the mages in the guild.
- Currently on an S-Class mission.
- Mystogan, a highly mysterious and powerful mage. Most of the mages in the guild, except for the President and a few others, had never seen his true face. It was known that he excelled in Hypnosis Magic.
- Each time he returned to the guild to take on an S-Class mission, he would hypnotize everyone, and only the most powerful mages could resist.
- Currently on an S-Class mission.
- Erza Scarlet, who developed a unique "Knight" form from the basic Transformation Magic. She became an S-Class Mage at the age of fifteen by passing the S-Class Promotion Exam.
- She was the most beloved mage in the guild, after the President. Everyone respected her leadership, and she was known as the "Fairy Queen."
- Currently on an S-Class mission.
- Lastly, the most powerful of all, Gildarts Clive, a Super S-Class Mage whose strength was rumored to be on par with the President's. He used the Ultra Magic "Crush."
- Ultra Magic refers to extremely powerful Magic that consumes a lot of magic power. Even if a mage learns it, it is usually used as a last resort, as one use can drain most of their magic power.
- However, Gildarts used Ultra Magic as if it were a regular spell.
- Three years ago, he set out on the most difficult mission in the Magic world, the Century-Long Mission, and has not returned. Most people in the guild only knew of his name and had never seen him.
As for Mira, who, according to the information Jerry gathered, was the second most powerful mage in the guild after the President, he only heard that she was a very nice and ordinary mage.
He didn't think it was that simple.
