Chapter 497: The Introverted Mystogan (Third Update)
Chapter 497: The Introverted Mystogan (Third Update)
Hearing Jerry's response, Erza and the other Fairy Tail mages all showed expressions of admiration on their faces.
To them, spending every day holed up in a room, buried in Magic research, was incredibly boring. Almost no mages would choose to enhance their power in such a way.
So, they couldn't help but admire someone like Jerry.
What was even more impressive was that Jerry had truly mastered so many different types of Magic through research, which seemed almost unbelievable.
"Come, I'll introduce you to the shop that makes Magic armor, and then I'll teach you Knight Transformation Magic!"
Erza put down her wine glass and was about to get up to take Jerry to the city.
However, at that moment, a powerful surge of magic power suddenly emanated from the guild entrance.
Immediately, the eyelids of all the mages in the guild began to flutter. Even Erza, an S-Class Mage, was caught off guard and fell victim to the spell.
"Who's there!"
Jerry's eyes flickered, and a powerful mental force and magic power burst forth, quickly dispelling the Magic affecting him. He then casually waved his hand, casting a Reviving Charm to counteract the sleep-inducing Magic.
"Wake-Up Charm!"
A blue Magic Beam swiftly passed through Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and the other Fairy Tail mages who had fallen asleep.
"I didn't expect someone to dare to attack the entire guild alone!"
Having quickly dispelled the sleep Magic affecting the guild mages, Jerry looked at the masked mage at the entrance and sighed inwardly.
However, the opponent was indeed very powerful, having used a potent sleep Magic to hypnotize all the mages in the guild except for the Guild Master, Makarov. Strangely, Jerry couldn't sense the strength of the mage's magic power.
After all, even a Saint Ten-level mage like Makarov, he could roughly gauge the strength of the magic power within someone.
"What happened? Why did I fall asleep just now?"
"Strange, I did too."
"This familiar hypnotic feeling..."
All the mages in the hall, under the effect of Jerry's Reviving Charm, opened their eyes and looked toward the entrance.
The masked mage, clearly not expecting the situation to unfold this way, had one foot inside the guild and the other outside, his eyes filled with confusion.
He didn't know whether he should go in or back out.
"Jerry, he's not an enemy. He's our guild mage, Mystogan!"
At that moment, Makarov, who was sitting at the bar, finally spoke up.
"S-Class Mage Mystogan!"
Jerry was taken aback for a moment, suddenly remembering the mysterious mage that the guild elders like Makao and Wakaba had mentioned when he first joined the guild. This mage was known as one of the candidates for the strongest mage in the guild, and almost no one knew what he looked like.
Every time he appeared in the guild to take a mission, he would use a powerful Sleep Magic to put all the mages to sleep.
"Um, did I offend someone?"
"Don't worry, Mystogan has a good temper and won't blame you. But Jerry, you managed to dispel Mystogan's Sleep Magic, which is quite impressive!"
Makarov downed a beer, his face slightly red, and waved his hand, signaling Jerry not to worry.
“No, I only know a few techniques to dispel sleep magic.”
Jerry chuckled in response.
At that moment, everyone in the hall heard that the person at the door was the mysterious Mystogan. Instantly, all eyes were on Mystogan.
Everyone was very curious about this strongest candidate who never showed his face.
Mystogan sighed helplessly at the door, adjusted his mask to reveal only his eyes, and, despite the stares of everyone in the hall, walked into the guild hall.
However, his walking speed was noticeably faster than normal.
“You’re Mystogan, I challenge you!”
Most people were still somewhat in awe of the mysterious S-Class Mage Mystogan, so although they were curious, no one really approached him.
Only Natsu, who was rather thick-skinned, jumped out to challenge Mystogan.
However, as soon as he spoke, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep on the ground.
“Huh, that’s strange!”
Jerry, who had been standing next to Erza at the bar, couldn’t help but let out a light exclamation.
He hadn’t noticed when Mystogan used Magic outside, but now, he clearly felt that the Sleep Magic Mystogan used didn’t come from his body’s magic power, but from his staff.
This was different from a Tool-Using Mage, who, although they use a Mage Tool to cast Magic, still use their own body’s magic power.
Mystogan, on the other hand, cast the Magic using the magic power from his staff.
However, Jerry didn’t think too much about it. The Magic system in this world was vast, and this could be a unique way of casting Magic, perhaps to save some of his own magic power.
“So strong!”
Seeing Natsu, one of the strongest in the guild, be defeated in one move by Mystogan, people like Lucy, who knew Natsu’s strength, sucked in a breath of cold air.
Mystogan’s steps quickened even more. He quickly went upstairs, picked an S-Class mission, and left the guild hall as if he were escaping.
After Mystogan left, the hall instantly became noisy, with everyone discussing Mystogan.
Although they didn’t see his face this time because of the mask, at least they had seen him in person.
“Wake-Up Charm!”
Jerry waved his hand, and Natsu’s Sleep Magic was dispelled once again.
Erza, seeing this, stepped forward and patted Jerry on the shoulder.
“Jerry, are you interested in forming a team with me for a mission?”
Since Jerry joined the guild, he hadn’t shown much combat ability, but Erza was already certain that Jerry had the strength of an S-Class Mage.
Without the strength of an S-Class Mage, Jerry wouldn’t have been able to dispel Mystogan’s Sleep Magic. It wasn’t a matter of technique.
Of course, she invited Jerry to team up not because of his strength, but because his Portal Magic was incredibly convenient. This way, she could bring all her luggage with her on missions.
“I’ll pass on that for now. I prefer to stay home and research Magic.”
Jerry didn’t hesitate and quickly gave his answer.
Erza didn’t say much in response to Jerry’s refusal. She had just wanted to try.
“Mystogan is a very introverted person. I advise you not to bother him.”
At that moment, a rather arrogant voice came from the second floor.
