Chapter 663: Innate Talent Can Only Be Compensated by Hard Work
Over twenty years, Feng Ye had collected almost all the magic from the three continents. With over two hundred years, he had integrated and comprehended all magic, achieving unity with all magic except for the 'Prime Magic'. It could be said that in this world, no one could surpass Feng Ye in their breadth of magical knowledge, not even Jellal.
With such extensive magical knowledge, teaching Mebis, who already possessed exceptionally high magical talent, would undoubtedly be an easy task.
The next day.
Mebis woke up from her slumber.
As she opened her drowsy eyes, the first sensation she felt was the softness of the blanket covering her, causing her to pause briefly before sitting up abruptly. She found herself in a clean and tidy room, which left her momentarily stunned.
Mebis sat there, her hands clutching the blanket, looking slightly dazed. After a moment, her thoughts cleared, and the memories of yesterday came flooding back.
A slight movement tugged at the corners of her mouth, and a gentle smile curved her lips upward as she gazed out the window at the sun's rays, her face illuminated with a heartwarming smile.
She changed into a long skirt and left the room.
"Are you awake?"
Feng Ye sat at a table outside, a delicate breakfast laid out before him. Seeing Mebis emerge, he offered her a casual smile and said, "After breakfast, we'll leave this place. It would be better to instruct you in magic cultivation outdoors."
"Mhm."
Mebis nodded obediently and approached Feng Ye, climbing onto a stool that was only slightly shorter than her. She placed her small hands together in front of her, sporting an adorable smile as she said, 'I'm ready to eat.'
After she finished her breakfast, Feng Ye was already waiting for her at the door, holding a large suitcase. He smiled at her and said, "We're going to the outskirts, and if you don't want to wear shoes, you can sit on top of the suitcase."
"Eh? Is that okay?"
Mebis blinked her eyes curiously.
Feng Ye smiled gently and replied, "I think you might not even weigh one-tenth of this suitcase. Come on up."
Mebis thought about it for a moment before jumping onto the suitcase. She said politely, "Excuse me, Teacher."
Feng Ye smiled faintly but didn't respond. He pulled the suitcase and left the inn, heading along the port's main road toward the outskirts.
Mebis didn't ask why Feng Ye didn't directly use spatial magic for transportation. Initially, she sat obediently on her knees on the suitcase, but after a while, she shifted to sitting sideways, her small legs swinging in the air as she appeared intrigued.
Since her birth, she had always remained on Tenrou Island, and this was her first time venturing beyond its confines. She was filled with curiosity about everything she encountered.
A moment later.
Feng Ye led Mebis away from the port town of Hargeon, reaching a spacious plain not far from the town.
Although it was described as a plain, the road was no longer as smooth since they had left the town. However, Mebis was surprised to notice that she didn't feel any bumps while sitting on the suitcase.
She curiously leaned over the suitcase, peering downward. She noticed that the bottom of the suitcase was not connected to the ground but was hovering at a subtle, almost imperceptible height.
Needless to ask.
This was obviously another display of Feng Ye's magic.
"Alright, let's stop here."
Feng Ye walked a little further, taking in the surrounding scenery with a slight smile, before finally coming to a halt.
Mebis eagerly hopped off the suitcase, full of vigor.
The scenery here was delightful—a stretch of lush green grass, a small river nearby, and a not-so-dense forest in view.
Mebis walked barefoot on the grass, the softness of the blades caressing her delicate, tiny toes, making her steps lively as she walked alongside Feng Ye.
"There are two key points to learning magic."
"One is the control of magical power, which is the foundation. The second is to use this controlled magical power as a basis to construct and cast magic."
Feng Ye set the suitcase aside and stopped in an open area next to a large rock, turning to face Mebis, who was behind him.
Mebis placed a finger on her chin, her expression serious and thoughtful.
Feng Ye looked at her calmly and said, "Although your first magic source hasn't awakened yet, you possess exceptionally high magical aptitude. I can help you awaken it directly, but I think you should be able to unlock your magic source by yourself."
At this moment, although Mebis was only six years old, her intelligence and cognitive abilities were almost on par with those of an adult. She easily understood Feng Ye's words and pondered them before asking,
"How do I do that, Teacher?"
"It's simple. Concentrate your beliefs. As long as you believe in the existence of magic, believe in your strength, and believe that you can coexist with nature, you will be able to awaken the magic that belongs to you."
Feng Ye nodded gently to Mebis.
Mebis wore a thoughtful expression, then gently inhaled and closed her eyes, beginning to focus her beliefs and will.
In essence, magic is a power that resonates with the outside world. Everyone has a magic source within them, but disbelief in magic or a lack of faith in oneself creates layers of restraints on the magic source, forming a thick shell that prevents communication between the magic source and the outside world.
However, none of these constraints existed for Mebis.
From the beginning, she had firmly believed in the existence of magic and always had faith in her strength. The barrier between her magic source and the outside world was incredibly thin and fragile, so much so that it could be shattered with the slightest touch.
From the moment Mebis closed her eyes to when she opened them again, only a few seconds had passed. And in that moment, her magical power had fully awakened!
Silently,
Numerous phantoms appeared around her, and after a brief blur, they condensed and took the form of butterflies, birds, and little deer, circling around her.
Mebis delightedly watched this spectacle, reaching out her small hand to try and touch them, but her hand passed right through the birds and butterflies.
"This is..."
"... Illusion Magic."
Feng Ye smiled gently and continued, "Everyone, when they awaken their magic source, will obtain an innate magic unique to them. Yours is Illusion Magic, which creates various illusions and phantasms."
Hearing Feng Ye's explanation, Mebis showed a slight look of realization and gazed at the butterflies and birds fluttering around her. "Even though I can't touch them, they're so beautiful."
Mebis gazed at the fantastical animals surrounding her, her eyes sparkling with wonder, then turned to Feng Ye and asked, "Can I turn them into reality?"
"Yes."
Feng Ye replied casually, "But turning illusions into reality is a complex process. It's a type of Lost Life Magic, and there's still a lot for you to learn."
Mebis looked at Feng Ye with admiration and seriousness. "Please teach me, Teacher."
"Okay."
Feng Ye nodded gently. "Then, starting now, let's begin our second lesson—improving your control and application of magical power."
Mebis blinked her eyes and listened attentively with a serious expression.
Feng Ye raised a finger, and a faint red glow gathered at his fingertip. He waved his finger in the air, drawing a simple and ordinary-looking pattern.
"This is the most basic magic array, which releases a magic bullet. Practice with this for now. When you can instantly construct it and fire a magic bullet, you can move on to the next lesson."
"Yes, Teacher."
Mebis carefully observed the magic array that Feng Ye had drawn in the air, easily committing it to memory, and then began to practice on her own in the empty space.
Feng Ye didn't leave but stood by and watched Mebis's practice. In just a few minutes, Mebis had perfectly gathered the magic array.
Then, in less than ten minutes, she released her first magic bullet—though its power was akin to that of a bursting bubble.
"As expected of the first guild master of Fairy Tail."
Seeing Mebis's progress, Feng Ye couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Although he had analyzed Phoenix Force at the very beginning and obtained Phoenix Magic in a short time by exploring its operation within Eccremia's body, he was, after all, standing at a very high realm.
If Mebis had the same realm and strength as him, her mastery of magic would undoubtedly be much faster than his!
This was the power of innate talent.
"The gap in talent can only be made up for with hard work."
As Feng Ye watched Mebis's training, he murmured to himself. All along, his talent hadn't been particularly high, even in the Naruto world. His talent wasn't much higher than his younger brother, Kakashi's.
The reason he was able to surpass one strong enemy after another and exceed those with monstrous talent like Saitama was because he relied on twice, thrice, or even dozens of times the effort.
The heart he possessed was the resilient heart.
The resilient heart was only one level below Mebis's pure heart, and that was why he could still retain his human emotions while possessing the incredibly powerful ability to hold the sun in his bare hands.
Chi!
After another hour of training, Mebis finally reached the point where she could release a magic bullet in an instant, although the released bullet was still very weak and could only make the leaves tremble slightly.
However, the uninterrupted practice for over an hour also made Mebis, who had just awakened her magic, a little tired. Her cheeks were glistening with a thin layer of sweat.
"Teacher, I did it!"
She looked at her training results with a delightful smile and turned to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye smiled at her and said, "Good job. That was impressive."
As he spoke, Feng Ye raised his palm and pressed it forward slightly. A massive and intricate golden magic array, with a diameter of over four meters, silently took shape in the air.
Feng Ye turned to Mebis and said, "Now that you understand the basic principles of magic operation, let's try this one—a Phoenix Magic array."
"..."
Mebis tilted her head back, looking adorably befuddled at the enormous golden magic array with a diameter of over four meters. The tuft of light golden hair on top of her head silently curved into the shape of a question mark.
