To those who knew Noah, he was simply an orphan who had been adopted by Makarov by chance.
However, even Makarov didn't know that Noah was definitely more than just an orphan.
Noah had absolutely no memories of a past existence!
When he first met Makarov, Noah already appeared to be a ten-year-old child. He was attacked by Magical Beasts in the wild, causing his Magic Power to go berserk, which attracted the attention of Makarov, who happened to be passing by nearby. That was how Makarov adopted him.
When Makarov first adopted him, Makarov asked Noah about his background, but Noah couldn't say anything.
There were two reasons for this.
First: Noah couldn't speak at that time.
To be more precise, Noah didn't understand the language of this world at that time. He didn't know how to speak or how to express himself verbally, as if he were a newborn infant who had prematurely gained intelligence and the appearance of a ten-year-old, which was particularly strange.
Second: Noah had no memories of his background at all.
When Noah learned the language and was able to speak, Makarov, upon learning about this, said that Noah might have lost his memories.
However, Noah knew that Makarov's explanation was incorrect.
Noah hadn't lost his memories!
As mentioned above, Noah was like an infant who had prematurely gained intelligence and the appearance of a ten-year-old. This wasn't a metaphor, but the actual truth!
In other words, rather than saying that Noah had lost his memories from before the age of ten, it would be more accurate to say that he had lost ten years of his life, as if he had been born already ten years old!
Although he didn't know why he felt this way, Noah vaguely knew this to be the case, as if someone was telling him this fact in the dark, but it was too unbelievable.
Therefore, Noah didn't mention this to anyone, and over time, he even stopped pursuing the matter.
In Makarov's words, Noah was running away from his past.
Of course, this was unavoidable.
Makarov had also asked people to help investigate Noah's past, but they couldn't find even the slightest clue, as if Noah had never existed, leaving no trace whatsoever.
In addition, Noah vaguely felt that he hadn't lost his memories, but had been born with the appearance and intelligence of a ten-year-old. No one would think that Noah was an ordinary person, or even that Noah was a person at all!
Under such circumstances, how could Noah not run away from his past?
He didn't want to be seen as a monster!
Taking in all the complex emotions in Noah's eyes, Makarov sighed.
"You may have your own unspeakable secrets, or you may know something yourself. I won't ask you, and I won't force you. Whether you want to run away or abandon it, no matter what, I just want to say that you are my grandson, Makarov's grandson, forever!"
"Grandpa..." Noah closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their usual clarity.
"I am Noah Dreyar, and I remember that very clearly!"
"That's good." Makarov smiled easily, but then became serious again.
"What I want to talk to you about this time isn't about your past, but about your constitution!"
"Constitution?" Noah was stunned.
"You really haven't noticed?" Makarov stroked his chin and looked at Noah.
"Do you remember when you first entered the Magnolia forest and encountered the snake-shaped Magical Beasts?"
Hearing Makarov say this, Noah remembered.
When he first joined Fairy Tail, Noah didn't know that there were many powerful Magical Beasts in the Magnolia forest. In order to train his Magic Power control, he rashly barged into the Magnolia forest, and as a result, he encountered the snake-shaped Magical Beasts.
Noah remembered that he seemed to have been bitten by that snake and passed out. When he woke up again, he had already been sent to Porlyusica by Makarov to receive treatment. He recuperated for quite some time before he fully recovered and returned to the Guild.
"Actually, I never told you, but after you were bitten by that snake, you were poisoned with a deadly venom and a large number of curses!" Makarov said something that shocked Noah.
Because Noah clearly remembered that Makarov had said that he had only suffered a minor injury at that time, and the matter of the venom and curses hadn't even been mentioned.
"I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hide it from you, but because your condition at that time was really strange." Makarov seemed to be lost in memories as he spoke solemnly.
"Remember, when I first found you, you clearly had obvious signs of poisoning and being cursed, and you were on the verge of death. But when I sent you to Porlyusica, all the venom and curses in your body had disappeared!"
"The venom and curses disappeared?" Noah couldn't help but touch his body and frown.
"Could this be related to the constitution you want to talk about, Grandpa?"
"That's right!" Makarov nodded heavily.
"Just in case, I had Porlyusica perform a physical examination on you, and as a result, she discovered that your constitution seems to be different from ordinary people, with characteristics that ordinary people don't have."
"First of all, your constitution has a very strong exclusivity!" Makarov held up one finger.
"Negative forces such as venom and curses simply can't affect you. Poisoning you or using curses on you won't work. Your body can reject all negative forces, such as curses, poisoning, weakness caused by external forces, and even methods that have the effect of increasing power but cause some kind of side effect will only leave the effect of increasing power, while the side effect will be eliminated!"
"Secondly, your constitution has a high degree of tolerance!" Makarov held up a second finger.
"This tolerance will allow you to absorb some forces that originally didn't belong to you but entered your body. For example, the time you were attacked by the snake-shaped Magical Beasts, before I sent you to Porlyusica, I injected a portion of my Magic Power into your body, and as a result, that Magic Power was completely absorbed by you!"
"Finally, your constitution has a great deal of independence!" Ignoring Noah's shocked expression, Makarov held up a third finger.
"Everyone knows that Magic Power exists in all things in the world and circulates among them. The Mage's Magic Power comes from this. Once a Mage's Magic Power is exhausted, their body will automatically absorb Magic Particles from the atmosphere to replenish Magic Power. But you are not like this. Even if your Magic Power is exhausted, it will automatically recover, and you don't need to absorb external forces at all!"
Saying that, Makarov murmured in a low voice.
"In that case, it's almost as if..."
As if his very existence was like an entire world in itself!
Shaking his head, he hid the thought that surfaced in his heart deep within, Makarov looked at the silent Noah.
"I came here to tell you this. You will begin learning Magic soon, and you will definitely encounter all sorts of opponents in the future. It's absolutely necessary for you to understand the special nature of your body. I hope you remember this well."
The ability to be immune to all negative forces and side effects!
The ability to absorb foreign power that enters his body!
The ability to recover Magic Power on his own!
All three effects demonstrated the extraordinary nature of Noah's constitution, and also told Noah...
He truly wasn't an ordinary person!
"You are a smart child, and I believe that you will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties on your own!" Makarov smiled meaningfully.
"If you want to learn my Magic, you are always welcome to come find me..."
Leaving those words behind, by the time Noah raised his head, Makarov had already disappeared from the spot.
Noah stood there for a very long time, until finally, he let out a long breath and patted his cheeks.
"I'll think about it later, let's solve my Magic problem first!"
Looking at the library in front of him, Noah lifted his foot and stepped inside.
