Learning Magic

" Aileen, I want to learn magic..."

Ywen thought for a moment before asking Aileen for guidance.

Honestly, even if he leveled his Haki, Devil Fruit abilities, and Martial Arts all the way to the maximum level of ten, he still had no confidence in dealing with Acnologia's ability to devour everything.

That was why he wanted to learn some of this world's abilities to help himself grow even stronger.

After all, Aileen was also within Acnologia's hunting range!

Although Aileen had never revealed her identity in the original story, and seemed to have concealed herself well even when standing before Acnologia.

But the world had already changed because of Ywen's arrival. If Aileen exposed her identity and drew Acnologia's ambush...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

Ywen did not want any tragedy that would leave him with regrets to happen, so he had to grow stronger. At the very least, he could not become dead weight.

"Magic?!" Aileen froze, then asked with a smile, "What do you want to learn magic for?"

"I want enough power to protect the people I want to protect, power that will keep me from regretting anything!"

Ywen's childish face was filled with utter seriousness.

"Ywen does not need such great power. Mommy will protect Ywen, no matter who the enemy is!"

Aileen saw the seriousness and worry in Ywen's eyes. Though she did not know what he was worried about, no matter how terrifying or powerful it was, she would protect Ywen and Erza to the death. Whoever dared harm her children would pay in blood.

"..."

Ywen understood Aileen's feelings for him, but this was also his resolve. He continued to look at Aileen firmly.

"Still, since Ywen wants to learn magic, then let me teach you!"

Aileen looked at Ywen indulgently. With a wave of her hand, three wondrous spheres of light appeared in the air before drifting into Ywen's body.

"This is Attach and Detach Magic, along with my experience using it, and a little magic power! Feel it out first."

Aileen attached her Attach Magic and experience to Ywen, while also giving him a bit of magic power.

Aileen had long noticed that Ywen seemed to possess no magic power. She also knew that all of Ywen's strange abilities came from those odd fruits in his hands.

Moreover, she had already experienced the power of those miraculous fruits herself and gained enormous benefits from them.

In fact, the Human-Human Fruit, Human Form had helped Aileen far more than Ywen imagined. This Devil Fruit had not only given Aileen a human appearance, but further developed her potential while granting her the formidable durability and stamina of a Zoan Devil Fruit, making her even stronger than before.

As for the fruit's secrets, Aileen did not ask. She respected Ywen's secrets and trusted him unconditionally.

In fact, ever since Ywen had miraculously appeared before her and given her a fruit that allowed her to become human again, to enjoy human sleep, human food, everything humans had to offer, Aileen had regarded her encounter with Ywen as something fated...

"So this is magic?"

At the same time, Ywen kept his eyes tightly shut as he felt the power he had received from Aileen.

Honestly, it was incredibly powerful. The strength of Attach and Detach Magic was like divine arts. Ywen even felt that as long as he mastered Attach and Detach Magic, he would be able to master every kind of magic in this world.

However, there was one issue troubling Ywen at the moment: he had no such thing as magic power within his body...

Even so, Ywen was not afraid, because he had a cheat!

System!

With a silent call from Ywen, a system panel instantly appeared in his mind.

Character: Ywen

Physique: Special Physique (can consume multiple Devil Fruits)

Haki:

Observation Haki: LV6(+)

Armament Haki: LV6(+)

Conqueror's Haki: LV6(+)

Devil Fruits:

Zoan Type · Fish-Fish Fruit · Mythical Zoan · Azure Dragon Form: LV6(+)

Paramecia Type · Weight-Weight Fruit: LV6(+)

Logia Type · Glint-Glint Fruit: LV6(+)

Martial Arts:

Swordsmanship: LV6(+)

Six Powers: LV6(+)

Magic:

Magic Power: LV0(+)

Attach Magic: LV0(+)

Detach Magic: LV0(+)

Funds Balance: 208908

Sure enough, after receiving Aileen's help, the words magic power, Attach Magic, and Detach Magic appeared directly in Ywen's mind. They could all be upgraded. At the same time, according to the system's prompt, the limits of magic power, Attach Magic, and Detach Magic were not level ten. As for their exact limits, Ywen would have to explore them himself.

"This system is so stingy!"

Seeing that the system counted Attach Magic and Detach Magic as two separate types of magic, Ywen felt a pang in his heart. Since they were counted separately, upgrading them would require twice the funds. With his daily guaranteed income of three thousand, how long would it take to reach the limit?

Helpless as he was, he still had to upgrade them.

Ywen first pressed the plus sign beside magic power.

After spending one point of funds, his magic power instantly changed from LV0 to LV1!

Ywen's funds also changed from 208908 to 208907...

Seeing that upgrading magic power cost the same as upgrading Haki, Devil Fruits, and Martial Arts, Ywen did not hesitate any longer. He tapped the plus sign for magic power another five times in rapid succession, instantly spending 111110 funds. His magic power rose from LV1 to LV6.

At that point, Ywen had only 97798 funds left.

Seeing that he no longer had enough funds to raise either Attach Magic or Detach Magic to LV6, Ywen had no choice but to settle for less and raise both Detach Magic and Attach Magic to LV5. In an instant, Ywen spent another 22222 funds, leaving him with only 75576.

"Funds really aren't enough! Why isn't there a cracked version?"

Watching his funds plummet from over two hundred thousand to just over seventy thousand in an instant, Ywen sighed inwardly.

But it was all worth it! Because he had truly become stronger!

As Ywen's magic leveled up, the data on his panel updated to...

Magic:

Magic Power: LV6(+)

Attach Magic: LV5(+)

Detach Magic: LV5(+)

Ywen could clearly feel his own strength, as well as the vast magic power within his body. Now, Ywen could cultivate magic power through training like an ordinary mage.

"Ywen..."

Aileen sensed Ywen's change, and a trace of shock appeared in her expression. She had personally watched Ywen transform from an ordinary person with no magic power into a mage with powerful magic power in an instant. Though Ywen's magic power was nothing worth mentioning to her, he could definitely be considered a powerhouse in the outside world.

"Aileen..."

Ywen wanted to explain the issue with his body to Aileen. In fact, he had already thought of an excuse. He planned to blame everything about his body on the fruits, since Aileen had already experienced the miraculous effects of Devil Fruits.

"Ywen, you're a genius! That's wonderful! My child is a magic genius!"

But before Ywen could explain, Aileen scooped him up and said excitedly.

Ywen could tell that Aileen was genuinely happy for him, and warmth filled his heart.

"Hehehe..."

Beside them, Erza, whom Aileen had placed in the baby carriage Ywen used to use, seemed to sense something as well and laughed happily.

It seemed that even Erza was happy that Ywen had grown stronger.

This only made Ywen's resolve even firmer!
