Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 371 The Second Magic Source

Chapter 371 The Second Source of Magic

In the guild's second-floor reception room, the aroma of tea filled the air. Two Makarovs sat in the main seats, with Chase sitting to the side, and Mira, in a wine-red dress, stood quietly behind him.

Opposite him was a blue-haired man completely shrouded in a black cloak, with a unique red tattoo on his exposed right cheek.

"Another world with the same Fairy Tail, I never imagined there would be such a magical thing—"

Gerald stared at the steaming teacup in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

When he first arrived, he was genuinely startled to see identical Fairy Tail members in the lobby. He thought the guild had been pranked again by strange magic like invisibility or body swapping, just like before.

"Well, isn't our Mystogan your counterpart in Edolas?"

Makarov calmly took a sip of tea. "Multiple worlds and all that isn't that hard to understand, is it?"

Just now, he briefly explained to Jellal the Fairy Tail group's journey through time.

Of course, details such as the defeat of the black dragon and the descent of the gods will definitely not be revealed.

His impression of Gerald was still that he was stopped by Chase from building the Tower of Paradise and then sent to prison for rehabilitation.

Although we later learn from Ultear that Gerald was also a "victim" and doesn't seem like an evil person now, we still need to be basic vigilance and caution.

"I never expected that you would break out of prison with Melty of the Seven Kin of Purgatory and form the dark guild Sin of Witches with Ultear."

Makarov clearly knew more details in the future—Natsu and the others met them on the last day of their group training camp, which was two days ago.

This was the main reason he agreed to meet with Gerald.

"Bearing the blame to punish the darkness is the only way we can think of to atone for our sins."

Gerald looked somewhat ashamed, and his words were filled with deep regret.

"That's something you can do as you please; if anyone's going to interfere, it's the council."

Although he was pleased that these three had found the right path for themselves, Makarov changed the subject, "You came to us..."

It must be more than just a simple greeting, right?

"About this—"

Gerald suppressed his regret and looked up at the two Makarovs with a serious expression. "In the seven years you were gone, we discovered that an extremely evil aura emanated from the Grand Magic Games every year."

"Because we once fell into darkness, we are very familiar with that aura, and it has a very strong connection to the legendary dark mage Zeref!"

Makarov frowned slightly: "Dark mage Zeref, do you mean that the Fiore royal family, as the organizer, is conducting some kind of clandestine dark magic ritual?"

"It's still uncertain. It could be leaked by a participating guild or an individual."

After a brief pause, Gerald said in a deep voice the purpose of his trip, "Mr. Makarov, if possible, could I participate in the Grand Magic Games as a member of Fairy Tail? I want to investigate the source of that magical power up close."

Whether it's him, Ultear, or Melty, they are all now wanted by the Magic Council. Without the protection of a legitimate guild, they have no chance of getting close to the Grand Magic Games venue.

Looking at all the guilds in Fiore, only Fairy Tail might be able to trust these sinners—Geralt, knowing Makarov as he does, would certainly not stand idly by in the face of such a serious threat!

Upon hearing this, both Makarovs fell silent.

From Gerald's current position, he has absolutely no reason to lie.

If the Grand Magic Games really involve a conspiracy like Project R, which could bring about a devastating catastrophe to the entire Fiore region, then it certainly cannot be ignored.

But, "Sorry, we've filled all the spots available."

Chase, who had been silently sipping his tea, put down his cup and said calmly, "Investigating the source of dark magic is a trivial matter; I can handle that."

This man?!

Gerald was startled.

It was only at this moment, when he had been focused on the Grand Magic Games, that he suddenly noticed the invisible magical aura emanating from the strange man beside him, which even made him feel a chill!

Besides Gildarts, are there any other characters like this in Fairy Tail?

Makarov glared at Chess with displeasure, thinking to himself, "What an unruly brat!"

However, seeing Gerald's shocked and bewildered expression, a hint of smugness and pride couldn't help but surface in his eyes.

For a fleeting moment, he genuinely wanted to keep Chase here as a candidate for president, because his own child was so promising.

"His name is Chess, and he's an S-rank mage in our guild."

Makarov, unaware of his own thoughts, sensed Chase's refusal and went along with it, saying, "As he said..."

Leave the investigation into the source of dark magic to us.

"No, this is far too risky!" Gerald exclaimed, standing up excitedly.

"No one is more sensitive to the aura of dark magic than Chase. If he can't do it, it's pointless for you to go."

Makarov glanced sideways at Gerald. "Or do you not trust my judgment?"

This is both a strong support for Chase and the truth—who else can compare to a dark mage who specializes in this field?

Gerald was unaware of Chase's magic. He looked at the other Makarov, trying to emphasize the danger of the matter, only to find that the other had the same expression.

He knew very well that Makarov was not the type to put his own children at risk, and this unconditional support and unwavering belief made him feel that Chess was even more unfathomable.

At the same time, I realized that there was no point in continuing to persuade them.

"I understand. On the day of the Grand Magic Games, we, the Sin of Witches, will conduct investigations and provide support to the surrounding areas."

Gerald gave Chase a deep look and said seriously, "Please be extremely careful!"

If Fairy Tail gets involved because of this, his sins will only increase.

But since things have come to this point, there's no other option but to choose to believe.

Having said that, he knew he couldn't linger there any longer and turned to leave.

"Wait, Gerald, I also need your help with a small favor," Chase called out to Gerald.

"A small favor?" Gerald turned around with a puzzled look.

"Could you show me to Ultear?" Chess asked.

When he sent Natsu and the others into the card space, he discovered that the magic power of the people from the future world was much more abundant and solid, and through this, he asked them about the "second magic source".

Since I've traveled to the world seven years in the future by sheer chance, there's no reason for me to miss this opportunity to increase my power.

"Urudia and the others are on the outskirts of Magnolia now. Come with me."

Gerald didn't think much of it and readily agreed.

Although there was a basic wariness of such a mysterious and powerful fellow as Chase, he was someone Mr. Makarov trusted, so there was no problem.

"Mira, come along too."

As Chase left with Gerald, he didn't forget to call Mira, who was standing next to him, along as well.
