Yun Feiyang stopped absorbing, his palm glowing with a soft radiance.
He looked up!
"Eh? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"N-Nothing!"
Makarov put away his monster-watching expression and said, "That's right, this is Magic Power!"
"It really is quite unique. It's linked to mental power, stored within the body, and closely tied to one's physical condition!"
Makarov nodded repeatedly. This child's comprehension was incredible!
"By the way, what were you about to say? You said how long it took you to complete this step? Three..."
"Ahem... three minutes. It only took me three minutes back then!"
"Really?"
Yun Feiyang looked deeply suspicious!
"Would I lie to you? Let me tell you, even though you were just a tiny bit faster than me, you can't get complacent, understand? There are countless strong people on this continent. Arrogance won't get you far!"
Absolutely, absolutely could not let him know the truth. Otherwise, where would he put his old face?
"Got it. It's not like I said I'd get arrogant. Stop lecturing me at every turn!"
"Alright, now let me see what kind of Magic you awakened?"
Makarov explained, "After completing the first step of gathering Magic Power, you awaken a kind of Magic as you become a mage. This Magic is generally the one most suited to you, because it is transformed from your own beliefs."
"Of course, if you don't like that Magic, you can always learn another one."
"Is that so?"
Yun Feiyang raised his hand, and a tiny whirlwind spun in his palm.
"It's Wind Magic!"
That was normal. Yun Feiyang had already anticipated it. Since he excelled in Mumei Shinpū-ryū, his affinity with the Wind Element was naturally the highest.
Makarov explained, "There are many kinds of Magic, such as Transformation Magic, Costume Change Magic, Reception Magic, Modeling Magic, and so on. The Magic World divides Magic into Ability Type and Possession Type. Wind and light are both elemental Magic of the Ability Type."
"Of course, even Magic of the same type varies in quality. For example, ordinary Flame Magic and the ancient Fire Dragon Slayer Magic are worlds apart in power. My Gigantification, for instance, is a type of Transformation Magic."
Yun Feiyang knew this. The most precious things in this world were ancient Lost Magic, such as Dragon Slayer Magic and God Slayer Magic.
"Then what type does mine belong to?"
Makarov sneered, "brat, don't overthink it. Those Advanced Magic spells are things you can only stumble upon by chance. How could you obtain one so easily? Yours is the most ordinary Wind Magic."
"Ah? Isn't that a little too lame?"
"Well, everyone is the same. The Magic they awaken is the most ordinary kind. For example, I awakened the most ordinary Light Magic. Gigantification Magic was something I learned later."
Yun Feiyang glanced at his stubby build and nodded in understanding!
Makarov roared furiously, "brat, do you realize how rude you are?"
"Alright, continue absorbing Magic Microparticles. Let me see how much Magic Power you have at the start."
Yun Feiyang: ???
Makarov explained, "The human body is like a water vat, and Magic Power is the water. How much it can store varies from person to person, since everyone's constitution is different."
"Understood. So this is another matter of talent!"
"That's right! But it can also be improved later. If you persist in meditation every day, your total Magic Power will gradually increase! Hmm... meditating two to four hours a day is enough. Too much is as bad as too little!"
"Alright."
Yun Feiyang sat down to meditate again, light emerging over the surface of his body once more.
As time passed, Magic Microparticles from the surrounding area were drawn over and gathered around him, then absorbed into his body and converted into Magic Power.
Makarov was satisfied. "With peerless talent, this phenomenon is perfectly normal!"
Very soon, however, he could no longer remain calm!
As more and more Magic Microparticles gathered, they surged in faster and faster. A vortex visible to the naked eye even formed above Yun Feiyang's head, dropping Makarov's jaw completely!
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Makarov shook his head like a rattle drum, his face full of disbelief!
"This amount is absolutely impossible!"
This was no longer merely a matter of peerless talent. It was an outright bizarre phenomenon, enough to rank among the Magic World's ten greatest unsolved mysteries!
"So this is the scale of a monster?"
At that moment, Makarov felt deeply defeated. Even the title of Ten Great suddenly did not seem so impressive anymore!
It was not over yet!
A black wind drifted out from the statue and burrowed into Yun Feiyang's body as well, making Makarov's eyes widen like bells!
"This is..."
"This child..."
"Is he favored by heaven?"
The riot of Magic Microparticles continued for a long time before finally subsiding. Yun Feiyang opened his eyes as light flowed within them.
He sprang to his feet, clenching his fists in excitement!
"I can feel it. My body is filled with power!"
Well, of course. With so much Magic Power stored inside him, it would be stranger if he did not feel powerful!
At that moment, Makarov desperately wanted to complain.
"Eh? Guild Master, why has your jaw fallen to the floor? Hurry up and pick it up!"
"Ahem..."
Stay calm. I have to stay calm. I'm one of the Ten Great, after all. I can't let a boy look down on me.
Makarov regained the bearing of an expert and asked, "Did you gain something just now?"
"As expected of the Guild Master. You could even tell that?"
Yun Feiyang raised his hand again, and a small whirlwind formed in his palm. Unlike before, this whirlwind was black, filled with depth and mystery.
He grinned smugly. "Wind God Slayer Magic. I was fortunate enough to obtain it!"
Makarov sighed. "Just as I thought!"
He looked at the flamboyant boy, then at the statue beside them. Makarov said, "If you tell me you have no connection to this person, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"Him? Who is he? Did he give me my God Slayer Magic?"
Yun Feiyang truly did not know. This Lost Magic had suddenly appeared in his mind, just like Mumei Shinpū-ryū had back then.
"Since you obtained the God Slayer Magic that belonged to him, there's no harm in telling you!"
A story was coming!
Yun Feiyang sat down and stroked Little White, who was sleeping soundly.
The little fellow seemed to have grown a whole size larger. It had probably gained quite a few benefits from the elemental torrent earlier.
"Legend says that in ancient times, before humans existed on this continent, the ones who lived here were the God Race."
"Gods?"
Yun Feiyang asked in surprise, "Do gods really exist in this world?"
Makarov shrugged. "Who knows? I've never seen one, anyway!"
"It is said that after humans appeared, war erupted between the two races. Humans relied on the God Slayer Magic they learned from the gods to defeat the God Race and drive them off this continent."
"From then on, gods became legends!"
Yun Feiyang pointed at the statue and asked, "So he is a god? Otherwise, why was he sealed?"
"Well, I'm not too sure about that either. There are two versions of the legend."
"One says that he was the Wind God of the God Race. After being defeated by humans, he was suppressed here for all eternity."
"The other says he was the earliest human to defeat a god. Because of God Slayer Magic, he became a new god, but was eventually defeated by other humans working together and sealed here."
"I can't determine which version is true, but one thing is certain: he is extremely dangerous. Otherwise, he would not have remained sealed all this time, with the seal needing reinforcement every ten years."
"I don't know much about God Slayer Magic, but there is one thing you must pay attention to!"
Makarov stared solemnly at Yun Feiyang and warned, "God Slayer Magic appeared so that humans could cultivate themselves into gods, possessing a Godly Physique and Godly Might. In this respect, it is very similar to Dragon Slayer Magic."
"There may be undesirable aspects to it. You must be cautious in the future!"
After looking at the statue, Yun Feiyang nodded seriously. "I'll be careful!"
A Godly Physique, Godly Might, becoming a god? It actually sounded a little exciting!
