First Contact

Time passed like a swift current, and days flowed by, with a year quickly vanishing in the blink of an eye.

One day, Allen happened to overhear a conversation between Makarov and Polyushika. He learned that Makarov's grandson had just been born and named Laxus. This news made Allen realize that it was now Year X761, and he had actually been transmigrated here a year before Laxus was born.

Allen couldn't help but ponder: Since he clearly knew the current year and the existence of Laxus, and given his familiarity with the entire plot from his past life, could he prevent some of the future tragedies?

As time continued to flow, Allen unknowingly turned three years old.

It was particularly noteworthy that around the age of two, Allen began to keenly sense the fluctuations of Magic Power permeating the air around him. It was this Magic Power that allowed Allen to perceive something hidden deep within his soul. However, every time he tried to explore what this thing was, he was unable to delve deeper due to his insufficient Magic Power. Yet, Allen didn't get discouraged. On the contrary, from that moment on, he began to intentionally and unintentionally train his control over Magic Power in various ways.

Hard work paid off. After a full year of persistent training, Allen, now three years old, finally broke through the numerous obstacles he had faced. When he concentrated again to sense the hidden thing deep within his soul, the sight before him greatly shocked him—Chaosdramon X, radiating a dazzling light, hovered there!

Seeing Chaosdramon X, Allen realized it was the figure he had held in his hand back then. He never expected this figure to have traveled with him. Now Allen knew what magic he would major in. With Chaosdramon X present, no magic could compare to the enhancement it would provide through receiving magic. However, since his body was still developing and he didn't have much Magic Power, it was too early to receive Chaosdramon X.

"Allen, Grandma's back."

Just then, Polyushika's voice came from the doorway. Allen wobbled over to greet her.

Seeing Allen approaching unsteadily, Polyushika quickly put down the herbs she was holding and rushed to pick him up. While playing with him, she said, "Allen, did you miss Grandma?"

Allen looked at the old woman before him, and the memories of their past three years together flooded his mind. He had already come to regard Polyushika as his own grandmother. So, Allen hugged Polyushika's head and kissed her cheek, "Of course, I missed Grandma~"

Kissed by Allen, Polyushika's face bloomed into a smile. She kissed Allen's chubby cheeks several times, laughing as she did.

The grandmother and grandson embraced affectionately, enjoying their warm and fleeting moments.

After a while, Allen gently released his embrace. He looked up at Polyushika and said, "Grandma, there's something I want to tell you. Recently, I've found that I can sense Magic Power. Not only that, but I also feel like something is hidden within me."

Hearing Allen's words, Polyushika's originally kind and gentle face instantly became serious. She quickly and carefully placed Allen on the bed, then mobilized all her Magic Power, concentrating her mind. Her hands trembled slightly as she carefully probed Allen's internal condition.

Time ticked by, and Polyushika sensed with all her focus. But after a long effort, she still couldn't detect the mysterious object Allen had mentioned. Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, and her anxiety grew. Finally, she stopped, looked at Allen with a face full of worry, and asked urgently, "Allen, tell Grandma quickly, where did you sense this thing? And do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Allen frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Grandma, I can sense its existence, but I can't pinpoint where it is. So far, I haven't felt any discomfort. On the contrary, I have an intuition that this thing won't bring me any harm."

Polyushika decided to call for backup to help solve Allen's problem. She said to Allen, "Allen, wait for Grandma at home. Grandma is going out for a bit and will be right back." With that, Polyushika hurried out.

Allen knew she was going to find Makarov, and it was also through Makarov that the existence of Chaosdramon X would be revealed.

Before long, Polyushika returned with Makarov.

On the way, Polyushika had already told Makarov about Allen's situation, so Makarov's expression was quite serious. He didn't waste time sensing Allen's internal condition further but directly asked Allen, "Allen, tell Grandpa, can you still sense that thing's existence now?"

Allen nodded affirmatively at Makarov, who then frowned slightly and fell into a moment of deep thought. After a while, he slowly looked up, turned his gaze to Polyushika beside him, and said, "I had some thoughts on the way. That thing is likely hidden deep within Allen's soul, perhaps in the consciousness space involved when some Mages use receiving magic. The reason I speculate this is because Allen can not only clearly sense its existence but also explicitly stated that this thing brings him no harm. Considering all these circumstances, my inference should not be wrong. However, for now, since Allen is still young, we will know what that thing is once he grows up."

After hearing Makarov's detailed explanation, Polyushika, who had been filled with anxiety, relaxed slightly. But as long as the nature of that thing remained unknown, her inner worries could not be completely dispelled.

At this moment, Allen, who had been lying on the bed, stood up, walked to Polyushika's side, and then opened his arms to hug her upper body by the bed, softly comforting her, "Don't worry, Grandma. Since Grandpa Makarov said so, I'll definitely be fine!"

Polyushika hugged Allen back, her eyes now filled with tears. "Okay! Grandma also believes Allen will be fine!"
