A few days later
There are only six months left until the Grand Magic Games Festival.
Other teams also developed their own training methods in various regions.
Laxus gazed at the Lightning Release Secret Technique given to him by Zorn, his eyes firm and resolute.
He led several members of the Thunder God Tribe toward the Mysterious Valley where he had once trained with Zorn in the Lightning Release: Kirin.
This valley is filled with extremely dense Lightning-Type Magic Particles.
This powerful energy is like water for someone like Laxus who possesses lightning abilities.
This will undoubtedly be the perfect place for him to break through his limitations and improve his skills.
Meanwhile, Mirajane also embarked on her own training journey with Elfman and Lisanna.
During this time, Zorn meticulously planned a intensive training program for the remaining members.
Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Gajeel, Erza, Ultear, Meredy, and Cana are all included in this training camp roster.
East Forest
Fairy Tail's special Training Ground
"The first task is for you to use Magic within this area!" Zorn said with a smile.
Before he could finish speaking...
Before anyone could react, Zorn extended his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
In an instant, an incomparably powerful force erupted from his hand, quickly coalescing into a massive golden Magic Circle.
The Magic Circle enveloped everyone with astonishing speed, leaving them nowhere to escape.
Then, something incredible happened—gravity and Pressure increased several times in an instant, pressing down on everyone like a heavy mountain.
"Ah~ So heavy..." Natsu, Gray, Lucy and the others groaned in pain as their bodies were involuntarily pressed to the ground.
At this moment, even a simple action like raising their heads became extremely difficult for them; their entire bodies felt as if they were being pressed down, unable to move.
At the same time, the ground could not withstand such enormous pressure and began to crack layer by layer, forming countless cracks of varying depths, as if the entire earth was about to collapse.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Erza, Cana, Ultear, whose strength far surpasses that of Natsu and the others, demonstrated their power as S-Class Mages.
Despite feeling incredibly heavy, they persevered with unwavering willpower, using their hands to struggle to lift themselves up and try to stand again.
However, even so, they could only barely maintain a balance.
Erza, Cana, and Ultear displayed astonishing strength.
Even Zorn couldn't help but nod in approval, saying, "As expected, this level is quite easy for the three of you!"
However, precisely because of this, Zorn decided to add something extra for them—doubling the difficulty!
Before the words were even finished, the three women, who had just managed to stand up, suddenly collapsed to the ground with a loud "thud," as if crushed by a mountain.
Erza stared wide-eyed at everything happening before her, her entire body struggling against the unbearable gravity, deeply impressed by Zorn's learning ability.
It's important to understand that although everyone may learn multiple types of Magic, in the end, they will focus on one Magic that suits them best.
And specialize in one area.
But someone like Zorn has mastered every kind of Magic to a high degree.
The ease with which he performed such a feat is truly rare.
With Gravity Magic, he can instantly unleash a powerful Gravity Field with just a snap of his fingers, and he can also precisely control its range and degree of aggravation.
This level of control over Magic power is simply beyond imagination!
Holy Light Magic, Dragon Slayer Magic, Gravity Magic...
He is also a Great Swordsman whose Swordsmanship is unparalleled; coupled with his unparalleled expertise in Physical Arts, he is simply an all-around genius!
Zorn simply smiled at the crowd's surprise and offered no further explanation.
Zorn smiled slightly and replied, "You need to be able to cast various Magic freely in this kind of force field environment."
He then added, "And you must use offensive Magic to break through the Holy Shield in front of each of you!"
As he spoke, Zorn stretched out his palm and gently waved it, unleashing an incredibly sturdy Holy Shield Magic in front of everyone. This Holy Shield had rendered invaluable service in countless battles, and its defensive capabilities were top-notch.
"What!"
In this gravitational environment, you still need to use offensive Magic to break through this Holy Shield.
Right now... we can't even make the slightest movement, how could we possibly complete it...?
That was the only thought left in the minds of Lucy and Meredy.
Lucy is Celestial Spirit Mage, Meredy possesses the lost Magic, Maguilty Sense. Neither of the girls has undergone physical training, and faced with such gravity, all they can do is think about how impossible it is.
"How interesting! You think I'll give up now? No way! This is nothing... I still need to increase my strength!" Natsu clenched his fists, pressing them firmly against the ground, using all his strength to prop himself up with incredible difficulty.
He was breathless and panting as he spoke.
"We can't give up either..."
At the same time, Gajeel and Gray emphasized each word, gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on, just like Natsu. Every movement they made seemed extremely strenuous, and their skin was flushed red, clearly showing that they had given it their all.
"Why... why... why won't they even spare us little kittens...?"
At this moment, Happy, Carla, Lily, Ximi, along with several other cats, were also lying on the ground in great pain, muttering weakly. Their voices were indistinct and intermittent, sounding muffled and full of suffering.
"That's so you can all become stronger! So, give it your all!" Faced with everyone's questions, Zorn not only didn't hold back, but instead answered with a grin.
However, despite his nonchalant tone, his hands never stopped moving for a moment.
He quickly put on his sunglasses, sat down in a chair, and in the blink of an eye, a comfortable recliner appeared out of thin air beneath him and caught him steadily.
On the table to the side, there was a variety of snacks and tea, which looked very pleasant.
"Ah, this is delicious..." Zorn took a sip of juice and sighed at the beauty of life.
He lowered his head, pulled down his sunglasses with one hand to reveal his eyes, and meticulously explained the most important point to the group, "Oh, right, this is a great opportunity to train your Mental Power. If you can calm your mind in this environment and use your own Magic Power to communicate with nature..."
"Then your Magic Power will increase smoothly."
"Feel the earth, the wind... the air... adjust your breathing, and become one with nature."
"Haha, by the way, you guys don't even seem to be able to get up. Saying all this is pointless, just keep trying!"
"Once you've done what I've said, you'll be close enough to break through this Holy Shield Magic in front of you!"
After Zorn finished speaking, he put his sunglasses back on and lay down again.
In the arena, only the sounds of everyone panting and their bodies scraping against the ground remained.
There's no other way; although this method is the most arduous, it is also the most effective training method.
