"We can use magic too?! Wait, Chase, what do you mean..."
"We can have the same power as people from Earthland? Human magic, not from crystals?!"
"That... that cannot be possible, right?"
Hearing that they might be able to use magic freely, Edo Chase and the others were stunned. Even Edo Freed, who had been sulking in the corner, quickly came over. His eyes were full of excitement.
From Chase and Dark Magician Girl, they had seen how amazing it was to have magic power. It would change Edolas completely. It could even solve both the magic shortage and the invasion.
"The conditions are difficult. But in theory, it is possible."
Chase nodded. Light gathered at his fingertip. It formed a Monster Card. "Let Dark Magician explain."
He had talked about this with Dark Magician when they first arrived. After studying the people and the environment, Dark Magician had a preliminary judgment.
An ancient magic circle appeared. Dark purple light formed a proud figure in a robe, holding a staff.
Even though they had seen Chase's Card Magic before, Edo Chase and the others were still amazed. They dreamed of using magic.
"This is the situation. Dark Magician, tell them what you found."
Chase sighed. He shifted to a more comfortable position.
He was not a monster like Acnologia, who drew power from Face. His body was still recovering. Even summoning Dark Magician was tiring.
Dark Magician nodded. He understood. He got straight to the point.
"Magic is the power of the heart and will. The stronger a person's conviction, the higher their magic potential."
"This is true for Earthland. It is also true for the people of Edolas."
Edo Chase and the others were confused.
"Magic is the power of the heart? I have never heard that before," Edo Gildarts said.
"Then there should be people with magic in our guild already," Edo Evergreen said.
"There must be other conditions," Edo Chase said.
Before coming to Edolas, he had some magic power. He was like a common resident of Magnolia.
He had never trained it. He focused on magical devices.
"You are right. The natural magic in Edolas is too thin. Even with great talent, it is hard to awaken," Dark Magician said.
The Red Pill Mystogan gave them let their bodies adjust to the low-magic environment.
The problem was recovery. It was slower than in Earthland.
The Exceeds were different. They could adapt. But their abilities were limited. Most could only fly.
"Mr. Dark Magician, what do you mean?" Edo Freed asked.
"If Edolas is filled with magic, magic will grow inside people. Without training," Dark Magician said.
His proof was Mystogan. After years in Earthland, he had started to generate magic power. He did not even know it.
Edo Chase and the others were silent.
They had a solution. It was simple. But it seemed impossible.
Filling Edolas with magic? If they could, King Faust would not need to invade Earthland.
"It might be possible."
Chase was drinking tea. He smiled. "We can bring magic from another world."
He meant Elentear. The world of the Moon Dragon God. It had too much magic. It had caused disasters. It even created the White Mage.
The best solution was to move the extra magic from Elentear to Edolas. And they had a way. Anima.
But there were two problems.
First, they needed Elentear's location.
Chase and Dark Magician had talked about this. They needed to learn how the king's army found other worlds.
If they were lucky, Dark Magician might even learn how to travel between worlds.
Second, there was the Moon Dragon God, Selene.
She hated humans. She loved chaos. She would not let such a plan succeed.
Finding Elentear was just a matter of time. Dealing with Selene was harder.
Chase was not strong enough to fight her.
And there were other problems.
Would other Edolas people help Acnologia fight the Apostles of God?
Would having magic cause more fighting?
Chase did not give details. He just promised to do his best.
His expression was serious. Edo Chase and the others had hope.
