Internet Magic in Fairy Tail (Re-upload)

The Real World

In a cave on a snowy mountain…

"Ahhh!"

Gajeel, who had been sitting like a statue on the cold stones, suddenly came alive, shouting in surprise.

"What's wrong, Gajeel?" the black cat, Panther Lily, asked, jumping in shock.

"That hurt… Hmm? Wait, it doesn't hurt."

Gajeel patted his chest, sighing in relief. "Damn it, I almost got taken out."

No—he was taken out.

His Stand had been destroyed.

Thinking of summoning another Stand, Gajeel activated his Magic APP, only to receive a notification: insufficient magic power.

At that moment, a flash of golden light appeared, and Nate returned from the parallel world.

"What about that dragon?" Gajeel asked hurriedly.

"It went back to sleep after killing you," Nate replied, shaking his head. "It's a Coal Dragon. It seems to really like that open-pit coal mine."

Like a lazy bug lounging in a pile of rice, it wouldn't leave.

"Let me try again! I was just caught off guard earlier!"

Gajeel immediately opened his [Magic Net Bank] to spend Magic Net Coins and restore his magic power.

"You're really going back to feed the dragon?" Nate gave him a strange look. "Hold off for now. Later, you can call Natsu and the others to form a team and hunt dragons together."

"Do you think I can't take it down alone?" Gajeel protested, trying to save face. "I told you, I was just careless! Let me try one more time!"

Nate rolled his eyes. "Once the game app is ready in a few days, you can challenge it anytime. For now, help me out with something first."

"What is it?"

"Help me upload your Iron Dragon Slayer Magic to the Magic APP."

"Fine… but when the game's ready, you'd better tell me first thing."

With Gajeel's assistance, Nate successfully integrated Iron Dragon Slayer Magic into the Magic APP.

Two hours later…

"Thanks. I need to find someone else, so I'll leave you to it."

After saying goodbye, Nate stepped out of the cave and disappeared into the snowstorm as a golden flash of light.

With Gajeel's Iron Dragon Slayer Magic complete, Nate went to find Laxus next.

Laxus was out on an S-Class mission, so Nate tracked him down overnight.

It was the same routine all over again.

This time, however, the opponent wasn't a Coal Dragon—but the result was identical.

Laxus was defeated, earning him the title of "Dragon-Feeding Slayer."

To Laxus's credit, he performed far better than Gajeel, actually managing to deal some damage to the dragon.

After the fight, Laxus was clearly frustrated.

"Don't take it personally," Nate said, trying to comfort him. "Losing to a dragon is normal."

With Laxus's cooperation, Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic was successfully integrated into the Magic APP.

"Next up: Wendy, the Poison Dragon Slayer, the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, and God Serena."

Wendy was on vacation, so there was no rush for her.

Serena still hadn't replied.

The Poison Dragon Slayer was locked up in prison.

That left the Twin Dragons for now.

But since it was already late, Nate decided to leave it for the next day.

After bidding farewell to Laxus, he returned to his apartment for a good night's sleep.

…

Early the next morning.

Nate opened Magic Net and searched for information on Sabertooth.

This guild had been relatively unknown until last year. However, thanks to Minerva's outstanding performance in the recent Pokémon Championship, it had quickly risen to fame as a prominent guild.

There was plenty of information online about Sabertooth. Their headquarters was located in a city called Gazania—a name that meant "African Daisy Flower."

In Fiore, most major cities were named after flowers:

Magnolia meant Magnolia Flower.

Daffodil, where the female guild Mermaid Heel was located, meant Daffodil Flower.

Crocus meant Crocus Flower.

After pinpointing his destination, Nate transformed into a streak of golden light and took off.

Half an hour later, Nate arrived in a new city—Gazania.

Sabertooth's guild hall sat at the center of the city. Compared to Fairy Tail, it was much smaller, but it was currently under expansion, looking like a giant construction site.

Seeing this scene, Nate felt a little nostalgic. Just last year, his own guild had also undergone reconstruction.

Walking toward the guild entrance, Nate noticed people bustling about.

"Minerva-san, I think we need a swimming pool!"

"Why?"

"Heh, I visited Fairy Tail once, and they have a pool behind their guild."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"Think about it! Sabertooth will soon become the number one guild in Fiore, so we need to match the current number one!"

Hearing this, Minerva sighed and waved them off. "Do whatever you want."

After brushing aside the pool-obsessed fool, Minerva turned her attention back to the construction plans. Out of the corner of her eye, however, she noticed someone standing at the entrance. Surprised, she looked up and said:

"What a rare guest. I didn't expect someone of your stature to visit us."

"Hello, Minerva-san. It's a shame about the championship results."

Nate greeted her with a smile.

Minerva, dressed as elegantly as ever in her high-slit qipao, approached with confident strides. Nate couldn't help but wonder—was she not wearing any underwear?

"The Master of Magic Net, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, and the Fourth Guild Master of Fairy Tail—Nate."

Minerva smiled faintly, placing one hand on her hip. "What brings such an important figure to our guild?"

"You're too formal—I'm just an ordinary mage."

Ordinary mage? Minerva scoffed silently. If he was "ordinary," then no one in Ishgar could be considered extraordinary.

Still, Minerva couldn't help but feel curious about Nate's sudden visit.

"Forgive my rudeness. Please, follow me."

Minerva gestured politely, leading the way. "Thanks to the runner-up prize of 30 million jewels, we finally have the funds to expand our guild."

"Oh, that explains it."

Nate now understood the reason for the construction. No wonder they wanted to match Fairy Tail's facilities—like an outdoor pool.

"Actually, our guild's pool has barely been used since it was built."

"Oh? Why's that?"

"To be precise, it was used once. Natsu peed in it. After that, no one's touched it."

Minerva: "..."

Natsu—one of Fairy Tail's Dragon Slayers.

Minerva could easily imagine the scene. Her face darkened, and she made a mental note to place a "No Peeing" sign next to their future pool.

Before long, Nate was led into a reception room.

Minerva brewed tea and sat gracefully across from him, crossing her legs elegantly.

"Now then, please state your business.

If you're here for my father, the guild master, he's away at a council meeting for the next two days."

Nate took a sip of tea and finally said:

"I'm here for your Twin Dragons. I'd like to ask for their help."

"More specifically, you've probably heard of the Magic APP?"

"All the moves, attributes, and abilities in Celestial Pokémon come from this feature."

"I'd like your Twin Dragons to contribute their Dragon Slayer Magic to the app."

Nate patiently explained the functionality of the Magic APP.

Hearing this, Minerva narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Sting and Rogue's Dragon Slayer Magic…"

"That's right."

"They're both very obedient to me. If I give the word, they'll probably agree."

Nate raised an eyebrow. "What are your conditions, Minerva-san?"

Hearing this, Minerva stood up. She walked around the sofa and sat down right beside Nate, draping an arm over his shoulder. With a playful, seductive tone, she said:

"I've heard you already have a girlfriend. But if you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll help you~."
