Mavis had already made her judgment.
Cana might be a tiny bit inferior to Ultear, but she was good and could be considered a genius.
"Thank you, First Master."
Feeling the immense power of Fairy Glitter, worthy of being called a Super Magic, Ultear and Cana turned to Mavis and thanked her.
"No need, no need," Mavis waved her hand dismissively. "That's all for today. Tomorrow morning, I'll dictate it, and you two can copy down Fairy Glitter and memorize it thoroughly."
Mavis had long committed Fairy Tail's Three Great Magics to memory, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she could recite them backwards.
Well, she's a genius... who isn't? Mavis had originally learned almost all the magic of the Ishgar continent, and she had received some magic from the Western Continent from August, which she was studying, preparing to amaze everyone.
"By the way, remember to destroy it after you've memorized it."
"Yes!" Ultear and Cana nodded.
"So, how about it? Isn't Fairy Glitter powerful? Are you regretting not learning it now?" Mavis already had her hands on her hips, standing in front of Erza and Kagura, puffing her cheeks in a huff.
'Oh no... she noticed...' Erza and Kagura exchanged a glance and shared a wry smile.
"Yes, yes, yes," Erza and Kagura nodded, putting on regretful expressions.
Right now, it was best to just go along with what Mavis said.
After all, she wasn't angry.
They had known Mavis for years. With her blonde hair, Mavis had the nickname "Golden-Haired Lion King"... Although she was avctually really old, due to the limitations of her body, unless it was during wartime, her usual mental state was no different from a child's.
Coupled with her status as the First Master, Raizel had once said...' just stroke her fur the right way.'
She wouldn't take it seriously anyway and would forget about it quickly!
...
Lucy, who had been training by the seaside, arrived at the eastern forest.
She had just received shocking news from Virgo, the Celestial Spirit of the Maiden—a major crisis in the Celestial Spirit World!
Although she was skeptical about what kind of crisis could occur in the Celestial Spirit World, given the Celestial Spirit King's immense power, as a Celestial Spirit Mage, if there was a problem, she couldn't stand idly by.
Of course, revitalizing the glory of the Celestial Spirits was her duty!
Imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
She didn't have the strength for that.
Natsu, Gray, and Juvia did, but she valued her life a bit. Virgo also said the more people the better, and it was best to get Raizel involved.
So, she ran back together with Natsu, Gray, and Juvia.
The four of them had been training on the beaches of Magnolia's coastline, where there was a guesthouse; they had been staying there for the past couple of days.
Having not run such a long distance in a while, Lucy, upon reaching the eastern forest, bent over, hands on her knees, panting heavily.
She couldn't even get her words out clearly. In the end, Virgo emerged from the ground herself.
Virgo, dressed in her maid outfit, frowned, bowed at a 90-degree angle, and said in a grave tone.
"Everyone, the Celestial Spirit World is currently facing a crisis of destruction! Please, save us!"
For a moment, all the training guild members were bewildered by Virgo's sudden declaration.
What was this about?
"What did you say?" Erza frowned, sensing this was no ordinary matter.
"What exactly happened in the Celestial Spirit World?" Kagura furrowed her brows in confusion.
Virgo maintained a serious expression. "There's no time to explain, hurry up... um... our Celestial Spirit King is waiting for everyone in the Celestial Spirit World. He ordered me to bring you all there immediately."
"Wait a moment," Lucy and Ultear spoke simultaneously, with Ultear gesturing for Lucy to speak first.
"Humans shouldn't be able to enter the Celestial Spirit World, right?"
Ultear nodded in agreement, as that was exactly what she had been about to say.
"As long as you wear clothing from the Celestial Spirit World, you'll be able to move freely there."
"What are your thoughts?" Ultear looked at Raizel sitting silently to the side.
Raizel couldn't determine whether this was one of Virgo's pranks or a genuine emergency.
Virgo showed no injuries, no signs of battle, and her energy remained stable. She even had enough time to explain things to them in detail.
This felt more like one of the Celestial Spirit King's practical jokes.
Wait, though the flow of time differed between the Celestial Spirit World and the human world, Raizel had long forgotten how much.
"You decide," Raizel resolved to pass the responsibility to others.
"Leave it to me! Of course we should help when friends ask for assistance!" Natsu was already itching to go.
"We'll go, but you should inform the Master before we leave," Ultear made the final decision.
Uncertain what dangers they might encounter in the Celestial Spirit World, Ultear thought it best to report their whereabouts first.
Raizel pressed his index and middle fingers to his temple, transmitting the message to Makarov.
[Ultear and I are going to the Celestial Spirit World with the others. Return time uncertain.]
Makarov, drinking in the guild, paused briefly. [Just make sure you return safely.]
"Already informed. We're good to go," Raizel nodded upon receiving Makarov's reply.
"Please stand steady, everyone! Let's go!" Virgo stepped back a few paces, spreading her arms wide. Instantly, a massive golden magic circle enveloped everyone.
"Wait! I'm not mentally prepared yet..." Virgo ignored Lucy's protests, resolutely activating her magic.
"Ahhhh!!!" A golden pillar of light shot skyward from the eastern forest.
The light pillar remained visible even from Magnolia Town, where numerous residents pointed and discussed the phenomenon.
"Must be Fairy Tail again? Wonder what they're up to this time?"
"Such a huge commotion!"
In an instant, Raizel felt his body lifted uncontrollably. His surroundings plunged into darkness before golden light reappeared.
Golden streams moved slowly in his vision, slower than a crawling snail.
Strangely, he felt as if time had frozen here, yet the journey from the human world to the Celestial Spirit World passed quickly.
"Ahhhhh————" Lucy's screams accompanied the entire crossing journey.
Fortunately, the process was brief, otherwise Raizel's ears might have been deafened by Lucy's shrieking.
Raizel vaguely remembered a saying: when your speed exceeds that of light, you gain the ability to travel through time and space.
Whether this statement was true or false, Raizel didn't know.
But whether he had just exceeded the speed of light, Raizel estimated he hadn't.
Above the clouds of the Celestial Spirit World, a golden pillar of light pierced through the cloud layer.
Raizel and his companions landed smoothly along the light pillar. Raizel looked at the trench coat he was wearing and curiously touched it.
'The fabric didn't seem much different from that of the Ishgar continent.'
He rarely wore this kind of thing—who knew why Virgo had changed him into a trench coat.
