Early morning.
Maples woke up and stretched his body comfortably. He stood up from the bed in his pajamas, went to the window, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air outside.
It was another summer. The sun was abundant, the air was fresh, and the weather was mild and suitable. It was a very suitable season to go out and pick up lolis.
Maples stood by the window and smiled as he welcomed the breeze and enjoyed the warm morning sun. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun hanging in the sky seemed to tremble.
"Don't be so afraid, I won't eat you."
Maples smiled helplessly.
The sun in this world was also real, but it was not a complete star. It was a soul with a small part of the star's power, similar to a Star Spirit.
Perhaps it was because he had absorbed several stars in front of it, so whenever he raised his head to look at the sky and the sun, it would shiver.
After shaking his head, Maples turned around, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked into the living room.
The living room was clean and tidy. The only thing that didn't fit in was a young girl who was lying on the ground with her head and arms on the sofa. She fell asleep at some point.
"… Okay."
Jubia seemed to have heard Maples coming out of the room. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Maples in a daze. She suddenly woke up and stuttered, "Ah … That, good morning, Master Maples."
"Good morning."
Maples smiled at Jubia and said, "Why did you fall asleep here?"
Jubia's cheeks were slightly red. She lowered her head and said, "I don't know … I planned to come over early to prepare breakfast for Master Maples, but I suddenly fell asleep last night."
Elusa rarely took the initiative to come to Maples' house, but Jubia often came to help with the housework, including cleaning the room and cooking.
It was not difficult to understand.
If there was someone who was as handsome as him, it would be normal for girls to take the initiative to help with the household chores.
Maples looked at Jubia and smiled. "Don't suddenly fall asleep in my house in the future. Otherwise, people will mistake me for a pervert."
"I … I'm very sorry!"
Jubia bowed to the Maples.
When she looked up, she saw that the Maples had already walked into the kitchen. Just as she was about to go over to help, the Maples instructed her to toast some bread. After a while, the Maples came out with two sets of exquisite breakfast and took the toast from her.
"Master Maples personally made breakfast …"
Looking at the breakfast on the plate, Jubia's eyes sparkled. Part of his body unknowingly turned into water and flowed down along the seat.
Maples tilted his head and said helplessly, "Don't talk about water so easily."
This girl was fine in all aspects, but when her emotions were too intense and she couldn't control her power, she would run out of water, which was a bit troublesome. Fortunately, she could recycle the water, so it wouldn't wet the floor and the bed.
"Ah, so, sorry …"
Zhu Biya woke up with a start and shook her hair in a panic. The water droplets that had fallen down quickly flew back up and returned to her body.
After breakfast, Maples left home and walked in the direction of the guild.
At this time, the open space in front of the guild was lively. Gray had once again challenged Elusa, and the two were in the middle of a duel.
Although Gray and Elusa were only twelve or thirteen years old at this time, their magic was not weak, but Elusa was naturally a little stronger.
On the one hand, Elusa had inherited the bloodline of her mother, Irene, and on the other hand, she had also received some guidance from Maples on magic power.
Clang!!
In the end, Elusa's sword shattered the shield in Gray's hand, stomped Gray to the ground, stepped on his chest, and stabbed the blade of her sword into the ground next to Gray's neck.
"It's over."
Seeing this scene, some of the Magic Shooters nearby burst into laughter.
All kinds of voices were heard.
"See, I told you Elusa would definitely win."
"Gray, you can't win against Elusa."
"But Elusa is really strong. I feel like she's almost stronger than me. She's not even thirteen years old yet. If this goes on, I'm afraid she'll become an S-rank Magic Shooter in two years."
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Elusa took a step back, put away her sword, and reached out to Gray on the ground. She smiled and pulled him up.
"Damn it …"
"I'll work hard to cultivate …"
Gray stood up, clenched his fist, and hammered his chest in distress.
A girl called out:
"Gray, put on your clothes first!"
"Ah ah …"
Gray let out a strange cry and covered his key parts.
Elusa closed her eyes silently and said: "Really."
At this moment, she heard a greeting in her ear.
"Morning! Maples! "
"Why are you here so early today? Are you planning to go to work?"
When Elusa opened her eyes, she saw that many Magic Shooters gathered outside the guild were greeting the figure walking over from not far away.
Maples waved in response, then glanced at Elusa, smiled amiably, and said: "Up so early for a duel?"
"Yes, the duel agreed upon yesterday."
Elusa smiled, then held the sword in her hand and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Maples and said: "By the way, I haven't consulted you in magic for a long time, Big Brother Maples."
"Oh oh oh!!"
Seeing this scene, the nearby crowd exclaimed one after another.
Maples laughed and said: "Is this a challenge to me?"
Elusa smiled and said: "No, it's more of a consultation."
"Alright."
Maples smiled and said: "Whether it's a challenge or a consultation, I accept it. Do you want to take a rest first?"
Elusa took a slight breath, adjusted her state slightly, and said: "The consumption of magic power is not very high, I can do it now."
"Come on then."
Feng Ye nodded with a gentle expression.
When the nearby Magic Shooters saw this scene, including Gray, Jubia, and others, they couldn't help but step back a little and open up a wider area.
In fact, many of the Magic Shooters present had seen Maples fight very few times. Most of them had not even seen it once. The only thing they knew was that Maples had defeated Kildas.
Kildas's strength was recognized within Fairy's Tail, so Maples, who had defeated Kildas, was naturally the strongest Magic Shooter in Fairy's Tail.
Moreover.
Maples had completed two ten-year missions and a hundred-year mission!
Above ordinary missions were S-level missions, followed by SS-level and SSS-level missions. And above SSS-level missions were ten-year missions. The so-called ten-year missions were those that no one could complete in ten years. And the hundred-year missions were those that no one could complete in a hundred years. They represented the most difficult missions in the magic world!
The completion records of these missions also reflected the absolute strength of Maples.
Elusa looked at Maples, and her expression became calm and serious. She held the magic sword with both hands, took a deep breath, and said:
"I'm going to go."
Whoosh!!
In the next moment, she leapt forward and executed a Jumping Slash at Maple Night.
Maples stood in place and did not move or dodge. He calmly raised his hand and sent his left hand upward. A bunch of ice appeared out of thin air and met Elusa's sword.
"… Ice?!"
Gray looked at this scene slightly stunned. It was the first time he saw Maples fight. In the past, he had only heard about the power of Maples in the guild. He did not expect Maples to be an ice Magic Shooter.
But he vaguely remembered that Maples seemed to have shown other abilities in the guild, such as the ability to enlarge his body, which was exactly the same as President Makarov's.
"Watch carefully, Gray."
Makarov appeared beside Gray at some point. He looked kindly at the battlefield and said, "Maple Night knows how to use ice magic. He's probably here for you to see."
Gray's eyes showed a look of surprise. He looked at Maples calmly releasing ice magic and could not help but ask: "President, do you mean that Maples can use other magic?"
"Yes."
Makarov took a drag of his cigarette and said slowly: "So far, I haven't seen any magic that Maples can't use, haha."
Haven't seen any magic that Maples can't use?
Gray was stunned for a while and revealed a look of disbelief.
At this time, Kildas appeared beside him and folded his arms in front of his chest. He said seriously: "President is right. Maples is the most knowledgeable Magic Shooter I have ever met. He can use all the magic that President and I use. If you want to know what kind of Magic Shooter he is, that's probably the only way to conclude …"
Gray looked at Kildas.
Kildas also looked at Gray and said with a deep look in his eyes.
"… Omniscient and omnipotent!"
"Omniscient … omnipotent? That's too … "
Gray had a look of disbelief on his face.
Kildas laughed, touched the back of his head, and said, "That may be a bit exaggerated, but that's what I mean. Anyway, as far as I know, the only thing he doesn't know is how to give birth. Hahahaha."
Gray was stunned.
On the battlefield.
After Ailusa took the initiative to launch the first attack, she was unable to launch a second attack at Feng Ye. She was completely trapped in a bitter battle.
Maples didn't use any complicated or magnificent magic. He just stood in place and waved his left and right hands forward one after another.
Along with Maples' movements, thumb-sized icicles appeared in the void and shot towards Elusa, forcing her to constantly dodge and parry.
"Change equipment, Ice Magic Armor!"
After parrying a few waves of attacks, Elusa shouted in a low voice and a light shrouded her body. Soon, an ice-blue armor was formed and she held a heavy sword in her hand.
After changing into the Ice Magic Armor and greatly increasing her resistance to ice magic, Elusa endured the icicles released by Maples and rushed towards Maples step by step.
"Not bad."
Maples looked at Elusa who was rushing towards him step by step and said with a faint smile: "Although the Ice Magic Armor has increased your resistance to ice, it's difficult for you to achieve this without strong enough mana and control of mana."
Gray, who was not far away, looked at this scene and felt a chill in his heart. When Elusa fought with him, she didn't use the Ice Magic Armor at all, which meant that she didn't go all out at all!
Although the Ice Magic Armor was a piece of magical equipment that borrowed the power of external objects, it was a normal means for Magic Shooters who used Armor Change Magic.
"If it were me, I'm afraid that Armor Change Magic would be completely ineffective."
Gray couldn't help but murmur and try to think from another perspective. He felt that if he were in Maples' position, using Ice Magic would most likely not be able to stop Elusa at all.
Then.
How was Maple going to defend himself against Elusa's assault when she was wearing her Ice Magic Armor?
Gray stared in the direction of Maples.
Seeing Elusa approaching step by step against the sky full of ice shards, she finally raised the heavy sword in her hand and slashed down at Maples. Maples smiled slightly and stopped releasing ice shards. Instead, he gently put down his hand. At the same time, a huge ice blue magic array appeared under his feet and spread in all directions in an instant.
Standing in the ice blue light, Maples spoke softly.
"Ice … Age."
Whoosh!!!
The moment his voice fell, a touch of frost spread out from the bottom of Maples' feet and spread out at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, all the nearby ground was frozen into ice.
The ice blue boots worn by Elusa, together with the Ice Magic Armor, were completely frozen by the spreading frost and were frozen together with the ground.
The spreading ice did not stop but spread to a very far place in an instant.
Under the shocked gaze of Gray and the others, they saw that as far as their eyes could see, whether it was the ground, the coast, or the sea that stretched to the end of their sight, everything was covered by ice!
Even.
All the buildings in the entire Magnolia Town were covered with a layer of frost at this moment. It was as if summer had turned into winter in an instant!
There was silence in front of the guild.
The only people who were not too shocked were President Makarov and Kildas.
"Really."
"It's suddenly so cold, my waist is going to hurt again."
Makarov complained with a pipe in his hand.
Kildas helplessly covered his forehead and said, "It's just teaching Elusa magic, there's no need to make such a big scene."
"You're not qualified to say that."
"Shut up."
Makarov glanced at Kildas.
A person who made the entire Magnolia Town develop the 'Kildas Mode' to prevent him from inadvertently destroying the town was obviously not qualified to complain about Maples.
Crack! Crack!!
The heavy sword in Elusa's hand pressed down with difficulty, but in the end, it was completely frozen when it was still three feet away from Maples.
Maples stood on the ice and looked at Elusa with a smile, then raised his finger and gently flicked her heavy sword.
Pa!!
The ice covering the heavy sword shattered and spread to the bottom of her boots, finally breaking all the ice that froze her armor.
The liberated Elusa staggered a step forward because of the overdraft of magic and was supported by Maples.
"This … is too strong …"
"I really can't catch up to your shadow at all."
Elusa was still trembling because of the cold and looked at the world of ice and snow in shock.
Maples smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. When I was your age, I was only a little stronger than you. You can easily reach this level in the future as long as you understand more about magic."
