This Kid Was a Genius

The gigantic Makarov pinned the Nether Demonic Tiger to the ground and mercilessly pounded it.

"Master is mighty! Master is unbeatable!"

Standing nearby, Yun Feiyang turned into a cheerleader, making Makarov feel incredibly proud. As a result, he beat it even more enthusiastically!

Impressive. No wonder he was called one of the Ten Great!

The Holy Ten Great Mages were the ten finest Mages on the continent, bestowed by the Magic Council. Their strength far surpassed the S-Class Mages of ordinary Guilds.

The Ten Great did not yet have an official ranking, and there even seemed to be vacancies. Makarov's ability to stand among them was naturally beyond doubt.

He specialized in two types of Magic. One was the Gigantification Magic he was displaying now, and the other was Light Magic.

Of course, as a highly respected veteran mage, those were merely his main combat Magics. He was also proficient in all kinds of common Magic, Magic Arrays, and more.

The Nether Demonic Tiger was a rare and powerful Magic Beast, but it was nothing in front of Makarov. Once Makarov got hold of it, he unleashed a frenzied barrage, leaving it utterly unable to fight back.

The inhumane beating continued for quite a while before finally coming to an end!

Makarov floated out of the deep pit and returned to his little old man form.

Yun Feiyang ran over. "Is it dealt with?"

"Do you even need to ask? It's just a little kitty. A piece of cake for me!"

"Impressive, impressive. Master is truly my idol!"

While paying lip service, Yun Feiyang craned his neck to peer into the pit.

Good lord, it was pitch-black. Had he beaten the Nether Demonic Tiger back into Hell?

Suddenly, black light flashed. The battered Nether Demonic Tiger leaped up, baring its fangs as it lunged at Makarov!

"Master!"

Yun Feiyang swiftly drew his blade!

Black Tortoise!

The wind rose. The Mystic Tortoise shielded the two of them, while the Mystic Snake bound the Nether Demonic Tiger.

Though it broke free in an instant, it gave Makarov enough time to react!

"You beast, courting death!"

Makarov raised his palm, and a dazzling pillar of light erupted, swallowing the Nether Demonic Tiger whole.

The beam struck a distant mountain peak. With a thunderous boom, the entire mountain collapsed completely!

"Good grief, what terrifying power!"

"You're not bad yourself. Your reaction was very timely!"

Yun Feiyang slung his katana over his shoulder and said smugly, "Naturally!"

"Wait, no!"

Yun Feiyang's expression changed instantly as he roared, "Didn't I tell you to preserve its hide? It's definitely charred now!"

Even the ground had been burned into a scorched black trench. One could only imagine what the Nether Demonic Tiger had suffered.

"Cough, cough... I forgot. I'll definitely pay attention next time!"

"All right, wait for me here!"

Makarov walked over to the statue. A layer of sealing light emerged, and a Magic Array appeared. He began channeling Magic Power into the array, converting it into the power of the seal and reinforcing it.

As the Magic Power flowed in, the sealing barrier grew darker and darker. Only after it reached saturation did Makarov stop.

"Done!"

Even with his immense Magic Power as one of the Ten Great, he was slightly out of breath by now.

When he turned around, Yun Feiyang was no longer beside him. Instead, he was dragging over the corpse of the Nether Demonic Tiger.

"Why did you dig this thing out? Its hide is already ruined. It can't be repaired!"

Indeed, the Nether Demonic Tiger was completely blackened, with a huge hole in its abdomen. Its entire body had been hollowed out.

"I'm hungry. What's wrong with roasting some meat?"

"That works. I've used up quite a bit too, and replenishing my energy would be good. Magic Beast meat is highly nourishing, and I've never had Nether Demonic Tiger meat before. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try!"

"Then help out!"

The valley had trees and a water source. After cleaning the meat they had cut off, the two set it over a campfire.

The aroma of roasted meat soon drifted through the air. With limited seasonings, the two simply made do.

Little White, however, was gnawing away with great delight, eating with utter satisfaction!

"Come to think of it, I'm curious. I've always seen you use that special Sword Skill. Don't you know Magic?"

Yun Feiyang shook his head, swallowed his meat, and said, "In my country, a power like Magic is only a legend. I've never seen it before!"

"No way? Your country is that backward?"

Yun Feiyang rolled his eyes. This world is practically ancient, yet they dare call a world of modern technology backward?

"By the way, is Magic hard to learn? Can you teach me?"

"Oh? You're interested?"

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Besides, the more skills you have, the better. Every extra ability gives you a little more confidence!"

"Well said! Fine, I'll teach you after we finish eating!"

Yun Feiyang became excited and began wolfing down his food. Of the entire Nether Demonic Tiger, at least half went into his stomach, making Makarov break out in a cold sweat.

He hadn't found a treasure—he had brought back a bottomless pit!

"It seems your body is quite strong. Otherwise, you couldn't digest food this quickly!"

Other than a few exceptions, Mages generally had rather weak constitutions.

"Yeah, I've been training desperately for the past three years, and my appetite has gradually increased too."

No, no, no. This was not something training could accomplish.

It was strange, though. Ever since crossing over to this world, Yun Feiyang had discovered that his physical condition had improved greatly. In particular, as his strength increased, that improvement accelerated as well.

"All right, I'll first explain the principles of Magic to you."

Yun Feiyang hurriedly sat up straight, looking like an exemplary student.

"There is a tiny substance drifting through the air known as Magic Microparticles. Mages absorb these Magic Microparticles into their bodies through meditation, storing them and forming Magic Power."

"Then they use it through unwavering belief. That is the essence of Magic."

"So, if you want to become a mage, the first step is meditation: absorb Magic Microparticles and store Magic Power."

Yun Feiyang said in surprise, "It's that simple?"

"Simple? It's simple to say, but difficult to do. This first step alone stops most people. Not everyone has talent for Magic."

Makarov said, "You can try meditating now. Empty your mind and do your best to sense the Magic Microparticles."

"Oh!"

Yun Feiyang sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began meditating.

"Take it slowly. Don't rush, because rushing won't help. This first step doesn't happen so quickly. If you can sense the existence of the microparticles, it proves you have the talent for Magic. Absorbing them can be done gradually, like coaxing children—draw them in and make them willingly enter your body."

"Let me tell you, when I did this step back then, it took me three... How is that possible?!"

Makarov could not continue. He stared at Yun Feiyang in shock, because Yun Feiyang's body was glowing. That proved he had succeeded!

He had not only sensed the Magic Microparticles, but had successfully absorbed them as well!

That was precisely why Makarov was so stunned. This was absolutely the fastest he had ever seen anyone accomplish it!

Since Fairy Tail had been founded, the fastest person to complete this step had been the second Guild Master, one of the Guild's founders, Precht Gaebolg.

Yet even he had needed several hours, and he had still been called a genius among geniuses.

But this kid? Just a few sentences' worth of time?

What kind of talent was this?!

At that moment, Makarov looked at Yun Feiyang as though he were gazing at an unparalleled treasure!

This old man has a feeling that this child's talent will shake the ages. His future achievements will surely astonish the entire continent of Magic!
