Chapter 678: Capturing a Rain Girl
Chapter 678: Capturing a Rain Girl
"Let's go get something to eat."
After Feng Ye saw that Elusha had finished fiddling with the change of clothes and magic equipment she had bought, he called out to her and started walking forward, his gaze sweeping across the streets ahead.
Elusha responded and looked forward as well. Suddenly, she felt a cool breeze brush past her, causing her to look up at the sky. She noticed that dark clouds had gathered without her realizing it.
"It's going to rain."
"Hmm... Oh?"
Feng Ye nodded slightly. While rain was not a concern for mages, he vaguely sensed that the gathering clouds seemed unnatural. So he perceived the magical elements between heaven and earth and was slightly surprised.
Elusha paused, looking at Feng Ye with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's just a coincidence."
Feng Ye chuckled and said, "Wait for me at that shop. I'll be back soon."
Seeing that Feng Ye had vanished in place with just one step, Elusha reacted and nodded, heading towards the restaurant Feng Ye had pointed out. She glanced at the sky again.
Her intuition told her that Feng Ye's actions were somehow connected to the sudden rain.
...
Somewhere in the city, there was a not-so-wide alley where six or seven children were playing and chasing each other, their laughter filling the air.
At that moment, a girl around the same age as them ran over.
"What are you playing? Can I join?"
"Sure."
One of the children immediately responded.
But the next moment, raindrops began to fall from the dark sky, landing on their heads, and soon it turned into a light drizzle.
"Wow, it's raining!"
The children put their hands up to shield their heads and hurriedly ran to the nearest awning for shelter.
Disappointed, they all turned to look at the new girl who had just appeared. Someone complained, "Hey, Jubia, why does it rain wherever you go?"
"You always ruin our fun. It's so annoying."
"Please, just don't play with us anymore!"
The children each found something to shield themselves from the rain, whether it was a wooden board or something else, and ran towards their homes.
Only Jubia was left standing there, mouth agape, before slowly closing it and biting her lip. She crouched down in the corner by herself, watching the raindrops fall.
Just as there were clear-sky girls, there were also rain girls.
The girl crouching in the corner was a rain girl—wherever she went, it would rain a hundred percent of the time. If you removed her head, you could drink from her, as she was rich in nutrients and had six times the amount of water found in fruits.
As Jubia sat there with her knees drawn to her chest, her emotions sinking, footsteps approached from outside the alley and gradually drew closer until they stopped in front of her.
She paused, then looked up and saw a young man with silver hair, a sunny and gentle expression on his face, standing in the rain before her.
Strangely, the raindrops fell silently around him, as if sliding off an invisible raincoat, leaving his hair dry and untouched.
"M-Mage... sir?"
Jubia was a little stunned and spoke cautiously.
While magic items could achieve this effect, she didn't see any on him, and judging by his mage's robe, he was likely a mage himself.
"You have quite an impressive talent."
Feng Ye smiled at Jubia warmly.
He hadn't expected to come across a rain girl here, but her talent was indeed remarkable. Calling her a rain girl seemed too simple; a more fitting term would be a water elemental physique.
The human body was composed of about seventy percent water, and even if girls had a slightly higher water content, it was rare to exceed this proportion. But Jubia was exceptional; she was one hundred percent water.
It was as if she had eaten the natural water fruit of the spiritual tree.
Even extremely powerful water mages rarely achieved this level of affinity, and it was a testament to Jubia's innate talent and ability—a very powerful magical attribute.
"Talent?"
Jubia was a little taken aback by Feng Ye's words and couldn't help but lower her head in disappointment. "I don't have any talent... Wherever I go, it rains..."
Feng Ye said calmly, "That's the talent I'm talking about. Moreover, your physique hasn't fully awakened yet. Once it does, your influence over the weather will be even stronger than it is now."
Jubia looked at Feng Ye in surprise. "Are you saying I have the potential to become a mage?"
"Yes."
Feng Ye smiled gently.
Jubia looked at him with uninspired, disappointed eyes. "But mages can do so many things, and all I do is bring rain, making everyone hate me... Even if I became a mage, I'd still be hated, wouldn't I?"
Feng Ye chuckled. "That's only because you can't control your power yet. Besides, not everyone hates the rain."
Jubia looked at him in wonder and couldn't help but ask, "Could I see clear skies too?"
"Of course."
Feng Ye replied casually and then raised his hand, waving it gently towards the sky.
It was as if he had picked up a giant eraser and wiped away the clouds in the sky. In an instant, the dark clouds and rain clouds vanished, revealing the clear and azure sky hidden behind them, and sunlight bathed the alley.
Since her birth, the places she inhabited were always shrouded in dark clouds with a constant drizzle. So, until today, she had never truly seen a clear sky with her own eyes.
Noticing Jubia's reaction, Feng Ye suddenly felt that he might have done something wrong. He had intended to bring Elusha to the Fairy Tail guild and thought it wouldn't be a problem to bring Jubia along as well. Moreover, Jubia was only ten years old at the time, but he seemed to have inadvertently overlooked the impact his appearance and demeanor would have on young girls.
Oh well.
It wouldn't be so bad to have a tea-making rain girl around.
"Clear skies..."
Jubia raised her small hand, reaching out beyond the eaves, but felt no raindrops, confirming that what she was witnessing was indeed real and not an illusion.
It was in this moment of awe that her talent further awakened, and as she stood up, her entire body suddenly transformed into a stream of water, cascading to the ground.
Then,
Her form reassembled from the flowing water, and she gazed at her hands in astonishment, "What's happening... Jubia has turned into water..."
Feng Ye regarded the girl before him, perhaps the one with the most water in her body in this world, and said gently, "Water Elemental Physique, this is your magic."
"Magic..."
Jubia was still struggling to accept this change, and after a few seconds of bewilderment, she exclaimed with delight, "Does this mean Jubia has become a wizard too?"
Feng Ye nodded slightly, "Yes, but first you need to learn to control your power and stop yourself from turning into a flowing stream."
At this moment, Jubia had just transformed into a complete Water Elemental Physique, her entire body assuming the form of flowing water. Streams of water continuously flowed out of her body and fell to the ground.
The water that flowed out would then gather and return to her body, like a constantly melting and reforming candle, barely maintaining her human form.
"How... how do I control it?"
Jubia asked weakly, as she tried her best to regain her human form, but she couldn't maintain it and kept transforming into flowing water.
Feng Ye observed her for a moment and then pointed at her, "Let me help you."
Buzz!
Feng Ye pointed at Jubia's brow, causing ripples to appear and spread downward, covering her entire body.
Jubia felt a warm current flowing from her forehead and spreading throughout her body, as if a warm hand was holding her, calming the uncontrollable streams of water within her. The water that had flowed out was guided back into her body, and she eventually regained her normal human form.
"Thank you, Wizard!"
Jubia expressed her gratitude, her face brightening as she looked at Feng Ye with appreciation, her cheeks slightly flushed. She felt a bit awkward and bowed to him.
Feng Ye retracted his hand and nodded gently, "You're welcome. Now that you're a wizard too, what are your plans?"
"C-Can I follow you?"
Jubia asked hesitantly, her face reddening slightly.
"What about your parents?" Feng Ye inquired.
Jubia lowered her head, "They're no longer with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's alright."
Jubia smiled brightly, then looked at Feng Ye with hopeful eyes.
Feng Ye regarded her with a gentle expression, "Sure, come with me then."
"Thank you so much for taking me in!"
Jubia's face lit up with emotion, "My name is Jubia. May I ask your name, Wizard?"
"Feng Ye."
...
Soon after.
In a high-end restaurant in the city of Acalifa.
Feng Ye sat down at a table with an elegant white napkin draped over his lap to protect his clothes from stains.
Elusha sat to his left, and Jubia to his right, the two girls facing each other. They eyed each other with their dark eyes, sizing each other up.
"This is Jubia, a newly awakened wizard, and she will also be your companion going forward."
Feng Ye introduced Jubia briefly and then introduced Elusha, "You two can help each other train and improve your magic."
Elusha gave Jubia a quick once-over and stood up, extending her hand, "Nice to meet you."
"You too."
Jubia also stood up and reached out her small hand.
Their hands clasped together, and Jubia's inner magic stirred silently, causing Elusha's magic to respond in kind.
Sizzle!
Feng Ye raised a finger and gently lifted their joined hands, "Now, let's eat."
Elusha seemed to take Jubia's presence in stride, but Jubia seemed to view Elusha as a rival from the very beginning.
Yet another overly precocious girl, Feng Ye sighed inwardly.
