Chapter 39 Sorting Out

At the table in the corner, Laxus was wearing earmuffs without knowing anything, immersed in the 'heavy metal music' he loved.

Over at the bar, Coven smiled evilly and said, "Natsu, who do you think is better, Laxus or Gildarts?"

Natsu immediately responded with a positive look on his face: "Of course Gildarts!"

"Look." Ke Wen smiled and began to induce: "Now there are only three of us 'S-class magicians' in the guild. I defeated Gildarts, so is Laxus not as powerful as me?"

Natsu nodded blankly.

"Isn't this right?" Coven clapped his hands, pointed to Laxus again, and said with a wicked smile: "Then you go challenge Laxus first. As long as you defeat him, I will admit it. You are qualified to challenge me!"

"Really!?" Natsu asked in surprise, not considering the various relationships involved.

"Yeah!" Ke Wen nodded and made a cheering gesture: "Really! Go Natsu! I believe you!"

"no problem!"

Natsu was full of confidence, and his palms and fists collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Grinning excitedly, Natsu turned around and walked towards Laxus, and declared without looking back: "Wait, Coven! I'll defeat Laxus right away! I'll be with you soon." Challenge!”

"Yeah, yeah!" Ke Wen smiled nervously from behind and nodded repeatedly.

"You bad boy."

"Brother Kewen! You are so bad!"

President Makarov and Lisanna laughed out loud at the same time, but neither of them reminded Natsu. Instead, they followed Natsu with the same "watching the show" expressions.

Soon, Laxus took off his earmuffs with a confused expression, and then listened to Natsu's declaration of challenge in surprise.

After giving some helpless advice to no avail, Laxus raised his hand speechlessly in the face of Natsu's attack, and struck Natsu's head with a knife.

There was a muffled sound of 'bang', and Natsu fell to the ground instantly.

"Oh! Natsu was killed instantly again."

Hubby sat on the bar, mouthing the fish in his claws while making vague remarks.

"puff!"

"Hahahahaha——"

The three people at the bar laughed out loud at the same time. Lisanna covered her mouth and chuckled reservedly, her shoulders shaking constantly. As for Coven and President Makarov, they were more unrestrained. They did not hide anything and acted in the same way. , bursting into laughter while constantly slapping the bar.

Laxus noticed the situation here, looked down at the mosquito-eyed Natsu at his feet, and immediately guessed something.

Laxus came to the bar with a speechless face, and said depressedly: "What did you say to Natsu? Why do you want to challenge me?"

"It's Kewen." President Makarov immediately betrayed his teammates, raised his finger and pointed at Kewen and said: "This bad kid said that if Natsu wants to challenge him, he must defeat you first."

Hearing this, Laxus recalled the past year. Thinking of every time Natsu challenged Gildarts, he couldn't help but helplessly cover his forehead.

Looking at Coven with some complaints, who still hadn't put away his smile, Laxus sighed and said, "Kewen, you can really cause trouble for me."

"Ahem..." Ke Wen finally stopped laughing, waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hand."

Laxus was filled with resentment. He looked back at Natsu who was sitting up in confusion, then turned back and said, "But I don't want to have to raise my hand multiple times every day..."

"Okay, okay." Ke Wen suppressed a smile and responded to him: "It's almost the end of the year, isn't Erza qualified to challenge the 'S-level' assessment this year? After that, you can also learn from me and take Natsu Just send it to Erza."

"Erza?" Laxus was a little surprised: "Are you so confident in her?"

Ke Wen did not answer, but looked at President Makarov: "Old man, what do you think?"

"Well..." President Makarov scratched his cheek with his index finger, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Trust my companion.

"

Kewen nodded in agreement and said to Laxus: "Erza has mastered the 'disguise magic'. I think her strength should be enough, as long as she can restrain her somewhat confused personality when doing tasks. , he should be considered a qualified magician."

Laxus nodded clearly, the anticipation in his eyes flashed away, and then he stared at Kewen and said: "Okay, I won't care about you causing trouble for me, but Kewen, remember You owe me one.”

"oh?"

Coven was slightly stunned and couldn't help but take a good look at Laxus.

After more than two years of contact, Ke Wen's impression of Laxus has always been that of a sunny, gentle and honest child.

Although he rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others and prefers to sit alone and listen to music in silence, he is always able to perfectly help others when they ask for help.

And for such a submissive person, now he actually said the words "I owe him once" for the first time.

After looking at Laxus a little uncomfortable, Coven smiled and asked curiously: "Laxus, do you have any ideas? Just tell me."

Laxus was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Coven would be so transparent. He couldn't help but glance at President Makarov who was also curious.

After hesitating, Laxus simply said: "Kowen, if possible, can you spar with me?"

"Discuss?"

Without waiting for Kewen to respond, President Makarov immediately asked in surprise: "Why do you want to compete with Kewen?"

After another moment of silence, Laxus replied: "Kevin is as powerful as Gildarts, so... I want to recognize my own strength."

Upon hearing this, President Makarov immediately showed a look of relief.

Ke Wen was a little surprised at the other party's mature mentality. At the age of twenty, he was able to recognize himself.

Therefore, Ke Wen readily agreed, smiled and nodded: "Any time."

"Thank you." Laxus smiled happily and said softly, "Then it will be at the end of the year, after the 'S-level' assessment."

"No problem." Ke Wen responded readily.

At this time, Natsu had also completely recovered from his dizziness and came over with an unconvinced expression. Soon, the sound of joking and laughter from the bar started again...

…

In the days that followed, Kewen completely relaxed.

He took a week off for himself, and during that entire week, he didn't think about anything about magic.

Every morning I go out and go fishing quietly by the small river in the forest. I go back to the guild for dinner at noon. I stay in the guild in the afternoon and laugh and play with the members.

After a week, the soreness and swelling in the center of his eyebrows completely disappeared, and his sleep time returned to normal every night. Only then did Ke Wen start his magic research again.

Every day I sit at the bar, with pen and paper in front of me, writing and drawing and starting to sort out all the knowledge in my mind.

Of course, he did not devote himself wholeheartedly to it, but summarized it slowly with a relaxed attitude.

Another month passed, and Kewen finally reorganized his magic knowledge.

Then, he wrote a few words on a piece of paper.

Elemental mastery, elemental shape, law, and the arc of time.

All magic types and most of the magic in the comprehensive guild library have been classified by Kewen into the two categories of 'Element Mastery' and 'Element Shape'.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, ice, wind, and thunder. In the guild's library, various types of elemental magic have their own related magic books.

Ke Wen did not plan to study it one by one, but planned to study the essence of magic directly.

As long as he grasps the essence of various elements, he can then master the changes in properties of all elements.

For example, in fire magic, there are many types of flames in this world with different colors. Each color of flame has different properties.

The same goes for element shapes.

As long as he masters the core essence of 'shaping magic', Kewen can freely control the various form changes of all elements.

Then comes the law.

The so-called laws include the word magic of the "Harry Potter world", as well as the "legal magic", "word magic", "contract magic" and so on in this world.

These types of magic all have the same characteristic, which is that they can form a rule that people must abide by.

Ke Wen is going to summarize it and finally synthesize it into a kind of "law magic".

He has high expectations for this kind of magic, hoping that one day in the future, this kind of "law magic" will become a magical power like "words are followed".

Finally, there is the arc of time.

Kewen has two major goals in this world. One is to learn magic knowledge, which has now been successfully achieved.

The second goal is to find ‘Urudiya’ and open the second source of magic power.

The magic of 'Arc of Time' is one of the two magics that Ulrudia masters.

Kewen didn't expect that this magic existed in the guild's library. After carefully recalling the plot information in "Goldfinger", he came up with some guesses.

The guild that Ulrudia belongs to is the dark guild established by the second president of Fairy Tail.

Thinking about it, the second president also mastered a large amount of magic in the library, so he taught the lost magic of the 'Arc of Time' to Ulrudia.

Ke Wen had always had a delusion, wondering whether he could learn the magic of 'Arc of Time' from Ulrutiya after meeting him in the future.

Because anything related to time and space is not simple.

Kewen has now mastered several space-based magics. As for time-based magics, only the 'Repair Spell' can be applied to some extent.

An advanced use of the Restoration Spell is the Restoration Spell, whose effects can affect time. The magic of 'Arc of Time' is a complete manipulation of time.

Ke Wen had been coveted for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly get such a big surprise in the guild library...
