Chapter 250 The Sublimation of Emotion

Chapter 251 The Sublimation of Emotion

After learning about her future plans, Lucy's face was filled with smiles.

Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine smiled as well.

He then turned his gaze to Mirajane, who was looking at him expectantly.

Compared to Celestial Spirit Magic, which Shirou Kotomine had never studied in depth, Mirajane's Reception Magic was something Shirou Kotomine was much more proficient in.

After all, he initially learned to receive magic under Mirajane's tutelage.

Now, the roles have reversed, and he's the teacher.

It has to be said that this is a wonderful feeling.

"Mira, compared to Lucy, you have much more to learn. Much of what I'm saying is just my opinion and may differ from the mainstream views in the wizarding world today, so I hope you can accept it."

Kotomine Shirou said to Mirajane quite seriously.

Unlike Lucy, Mirajane, as a senior mage, also has a profound understanding of magical theory.

However, the magical knowledge she received from childhood differed somewhat from the magical theories of Shirou Kotomine.

After all, Shirou Kotomine's magical theories incorporated theories from other worlds.

It naturally exudes the style of Shirou Kotomine.

Mirajane may have significant problems understanding this.

Because some of these theories could shatter her worldview.

"Don't worry, Shirou, I won't question your teaching. I trust you won't lie to me, so at most I'll ask you questions when I don't understand something."

Mirajane responded with a smile.

As clever as Mirajane was, she quickly understood what Shirou Kotomine meant.

Mirajane understood his concerns, considering Shirou Kotomine's past experiences.

Therefore, she chose to unconditionally believe in Shirou Kotomine.

Let alone mere cultivation, she would entrust her life to the other party in times of danger.

This is Fairy Tail.

"I see!"

Kotomine Shirou nodded seriously, and then he began to explain the training method he had prepared for Mirajane.

"First and foremost is the training of magic power, which I should not need to elaborate on."

"As for the training to receive magic, my advice is to focus on cultivating the demonic essence you absorb."

This is Shirou Kotomine's training in receiving magic.

This is quite different from mainstream methods of receiving magic.

In mainstream receiving magic, receiving mages only need to continuously increase their magic power, temper their spirit, and then receive more monster essences.

But for Shirou Kotomine, external things can never compare to what he has cultivated himself.

Only products you cultivate yourself will make you feel more comfortable using them.

After all, there aren't that many powerful monsters!

As for cultivating spirit, Shirou Kotomine has a complete set of methods.

Now, Shirou Kotomine has transformed magical powers and spells.

To make it a kind of magic.

The same applies to cultivating cursed spirits.

Shirou Kotomine is preparing to pass on his newly developed method for cultivating cursed spirits to Mirajane.

From the essence, it is transformed into a curse spirit; from the curse spirit, it is transformed into an elf; and finally, from the elf, it is transformed into a holy spirit.

This is a complete road, a complete system.

If Mirajane could fully master this "spirit control magic," his combat power would be greatly enhanced.

"Shirou, is this the spirit-summoning magic you developed?"

Mirajane's eyes lit up after hearing Shirou Kotomine's explanation.

After briefly reading through the spell, Mirajane gained a deeper understanding of Shirou Kotomine's current strength and wisdom.

She finally began to see just how powerful the so-called strongest mage on the continent really was.

Mirajane was full of admiration for that profound wisdom.

"You're amazing, Shirou!"

Mirajane couldn't help but praise.

"When I taught you magic, I never imagined you would reach this level. It's truly astonishing."

Mirajane became extremely agitated.

At the same time, she also felt proud.

Upon hearing this, Shirou Kotomine waved his hand.

"Alright, stop praising me. Let's get back to our training!"

"I just introduced your future development path. Now I'm going to give you your first challenge: the development of the second magic source."

A slight smile appeared on Shirou Kotomine's lips.

Shirou Kotomine has also conducted research on the development of a second source of magic over the years.

But he didn't spend too much energy on this.

The technology he was using at that time came from Urutia.

In the original timeline, it was she who developed the second magic source for the Fairy Tail members, greatly increasing their strength and allowing them to return to their peak power.

In the past six years, Shirou Kotomine has also known her.

Or rather, Shirou Kotomine took the initiative to go to her.

After all, her Arc of Time is a rare form of time magic, and its ability is also a very rare one—time reversal.

Although it has significant limitations, it cannot be applied to living organisms.

But that is indeed the power to turn back time.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine also turned his attention to her.

Kotomine Shirou wants to find her.

As for how to find her?

Shirou Kotomine set up many familiars outside the Council's prison for surveillance purposes.

Knowing the future plot, Shirou Kotomine was well aware that Ultear was determined to atone for her sins after her battle with Fairy Tail.

She wants to make amends to those she has hurt.

And the core of it all is Gerald.

This is the person who suffered the most from her deception and was hurt the most by her.

According to the original storyline, Ultear and her other partner Melty would rescue Jellal from prison.

The three then formed an independent guild called The Sin of Witches.

They walk between good and evil, their sole purpose being to eliminate all dark guilds.

Therefore, as long as Shirou Kotomine guards the prison, he can wait for Ultear to walk into his trap.

And that is indeed the case.

Kotomine Shirou accurately tracked down the whereabouts of Ultear and her two companions.

And then they appeared before them.

In the end, Shirou Kotomine became friends with them.

With the help of Fairy Tail's intelligence, their strikes against the dark guilds are much more powerful than those in the original Trails series.

It is precisely because they have always maintained contact.

Therefore, both Ultear's Arc of Time and the second magic source development technology she developed, Kotomine Shirou obtained.

Now, Shirou Kotomine intends to use this technology to develop a second source of magic for Lucy and Mirajane.

There's no other way; this method is the fastest!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"Ouch!!!"

"Hold on!!!"

Hearing the sounds coming from inside the tent, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but shake his head.

Besides relentlessly exploring one's physical potential over the years, awakening a second source of magic power quickly inevitably involves pain.

This is unavoidable.

Since it cannot be avoided, we can only accept it.

As powerful mages, this pain was clearly no match for Lucy and Mirajane.

Even if the physical pain is intense.

No matter how loudly you shout.

They will persevere.

The reason for this was not only their belief as mages, but also because Shirou Kotomine was standing outside the tent.

Kotomine Shirou is very strong; they have deeply experienced his power during this trip.

This led them to pursue greater strength.

They didn't want to be left behind.

Therefore, they will not give up no matter what.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Lucy and Mirajane's cries of pain echoed through the night sky.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past three days, Lucy and Mirajane have both developed their second source of magic, and the two are currently sitting cross-legged on the ground adjusting their state.

After all, the magic power had suddenly increased significantly.

If they cannot fully master these magical powers, their strength will not only fail to increase, but will actually decrease.

So the two of them are adjusting their state, striving to fully control the magic within their bodies.

Meanwhile, Shirou Mine was sitting around the beach, designing a training plan for Lucy and Mirajane.

Now that we've taken on the training assignment, we must do our best.

Shirou Kotomine meticulously planned Lucy and Mirajane's training.

Of course, there are rest periods included.

After all, this time they weren't under the same time pressure as in the original timeline.

In reality, even though time was tight, they still had a good time when they arrived at the training location.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine would not be so heartless as to spend all his time training.

Besides, despite their serious training, neither of them will actually participate in the final battle of the Great Demon Battle Tournament.

Because Shirou Kotomine wants to participate in the Grand Magic Games.

And they don't plan to participate until the end.

Therefore, he definitely needs to be part of Fairy Tail's second team.

And among the eight teams in the main competition, the team that is Raven's Tail will definitely be one of them.

Raven's Tail is a guild founded by the son of Guild Master Makarov. Six years ago, this guild was still the Dark Guild.

But today they have completed their transformation and become a legitimate guild.

But their goal has not changed.

Kotomine Shirou naturally knew about this guild long ago, but he hadn't paid any attention to them because it was a matter for Guild Master Makarov and also for Laxus.

As long as they are there, things will definitely happen as originally planned.

The crow's tail was removed from the register.

The two teams from Fairy Tail merged into one team.

In the original timeline, the final team of Fairy Tail consisted of Laxus, Natsu, Gajeel, Erza, and Gray.

Without Shirou Kotomine's involvement, none of these five can replace Lucy.

Mirajane, on the other hand, has the ability to replace Gray.

But she would never do that.

She was determined to step down from the front line, but in reality, she shared the same idea as Shirou Kotomine: it was all just a game.

Since they won't participate in the final battle, Shirou Kotomine naturally won't train them rapidly in that direction.

Both Lucy and Mirajane, with their solid foundations, are better suited to grow gradually.

Spiritual practice is a gradual process.

This time, the Fairy Tail Sirius Group has plenty of time for training.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine had no intention of staying on this beach until the end of his training.

Instead, they planned to travel while practicing their spiritual disciplines.

After spending a month on the beach, the three, having grown tired of the environment, began their journey.

Their footprints can be found in every city of the Kingdom of Fiore.

After all, in the spirit-controlling magic that Shirou Kotomine passed on to Mirajane, the initial step of cultivating the spirit into a cursed spirit requires a large amount of negative human emotions.

Therefore, they need to stay in the city.

Or perhaps linger on the outskirts of the city.

But this didn't affect their cultivation at all, since they weren't practicing any dangerous magic anyway.

Although the magic Lucy is currently practicing is indeed somewhat dangerous.

Lucy is currently studying "The History of the Super Magic Star Chart".

Lucy had used this super magic before, but she had never fully mastered it.

This is not only because the super magic is too complicated, but also because Lucy's magic power has never been enough to support her in using it.

However, under Shirou Kotomine's tutelage, all the conditions for Lucy to fully master this magic have been met.

As a Celestial Spirit Mage, Lucy's strength will be greatly enhanced after she fully masters this magic.

So, in addition to training her magic and practicing melee techniques, Lucy spent her time learning and mastering the super magic of the Star Chart Chronicles.

This is indeed somewhat dangerous for the town.

However, Shirou Yane has no problem at all.

And so, the three of them, including Shirou Kotomine, traveled through city after city, until one day they arrived at a famous hot spring resort.

"Ouch, this is so heavy!"

He opened his eyes groggily and couldn't help but complain.

As soon as he woke up, he clearly felt as if he was being pressed down by something.

Even his arm felt uncomfortable.

But soon, as the hazy drowsiness dissipated and his consciousness returned, Kotomine Shirou immediately shut his mouth.

He remembered everything.

Gently lifting the blanket covering him, Shirou Kotomine gazed at the golden and silver strands of hair on his chest and arms and let out a deep breath.

Just yesterday, the three members of the group, whose relationship was growing stronger during their trip, had a mixed bath in a hot spring.

Then after I came back, everything happened.

Yes, everything happened.

Recalling what happened last night, Shirou Kotomine's lips curled up slightly.

This is the feeling of happiness.

Lying on the bed, Shirou Kotomine tightened his arms slightly, holding Lucy and Mirajane even closer, but neither of them showed any sign of waking up.

Lucy and Mirajane were both exhausted.

After all, Shirou Kotomine is currently evolving into a dragon.

His physical strength far surpasses that of humans.

Although Kotomine Shirou has woken up, they have only been asleep for an hour, and it is still dark outside.

Because Shirou Kotomine can recover from mental fatigue after resting for just one hour.

So he hasn't slept in late for a long time.

Now, I even have a conditioned reflex of waking up after sleeping for an hour.

"But I can definitely sleep in a little longer today!"

Feeling Lucy and Mirajane's breath, Shirou Kotomine's eyes were filled with tenderness.

Although he couldn't sleep, Shirou Kotomine closed his eyes again.

He was enjoying the happiness of this moment.

As he silently recalled his past experiences with Lucy and Mirajane, Shirou Kotomine's smile grew even wider.

And his resolve grew stronger.

I will definitely protect you from harm!

Kotomine Shirou thought to himself.
