Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 36 Fairy

"Y-you…how do you know about her?" Yowen stammered as he felt some fear. He had never revealed this to anyone; nobody knew about it. So how the hell did Zevien know about it?

Chree…

The monitor's display became slightly static as a humanoid creature appeared from it and floated beside Yowen.

The creature looked cute, with its height being less than half a meter, lighting blue patterns on its dark blue body, big blue eyes, and a chubby face.

It was a fairy! A female one. She wore lightning-cloudy clothes made from energy.

"Relax, I am not here to hurt you or anything. As things stand, you can easily kill me because you are already a 5th class magician," Zevien said with a faint smile as he looked at Electra.

"Why did you come here?" Yowen asked with doubt.

"To summon a fairy," Zevien said with a smile, "you are the only person ever to make a successful contract with a fairy from a semi-awakened fairy spirit magic labyrinth."

"Did you also semi-awaken a fairy spirit magic labyrinth?" Yowen asked.

Zevien didn't say anything but gathered some mana in his hand and started creating a spell formation in the air using his finger.

"Eh... It's kinda similar to the magic formation in the magic circle that appears when fairies are randomly summoned by Yowen," Electra spoke in a surprised tone.

"Mhmm," Yowen was surprised as well, "how did you make it? If you know this, then you should also have a semi-connection with a fairy spirit magic labyrinth."

"Right," Zevien nodded, "I am close to completing this magic spell, and I want to complete it with your help."

Hearing that, Yowen raised his eyebrows and grinned, "what will I get in return?"

Zevien smiled and leaned back on the chair with a carefree expression, "your life and a secure future."

"Huh? What do you mean that?" Yowen asked as his brows creased. "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not," Zevien faintly smiled as he lied with a straight face, "You can say that my magic powers are related to divination, and that's how I found you. Naturally, I also know that something terrible will happen to you because of what you are doing."

Zevien looked at Electra after saying that and smiled, "this fairy is good at collecting information for you, and you can stay safe with her powers, but she will be caught eventually, and you will also get caught. When that happens, I don't think you want to imagine how many people will be after you."

Yowen and Electra's faces became dark as fear flashed in their eyes.

"W-we…we haven't done that many illegal activities," Yowen stammered, "we only started this a year ago."

"Whatever you did was enough for many people to kill you and your family, and the things you will continue to do will make it worse," Zevien shook his head with a faint smile, "I doubt you are going to stop using this power of your fairy and your hacking skills. You live for this."

Yowen didn't say anything, but he agreed.

"How old are you this year?" Zevien asked.

"Twenty," Yowen answered before taking a deep breath and speaking, "how can I trust you? How can I believe that I will get caught just because you said it?"

"Oi, oi, you don't really believe that Electra can escape forever, right?" Zevien was speechless, "don't live in a misunderstanding that just because you are the first person to have a fairy by your side, you can do anything and use her powers without others being able to detect it or trace it to you."

Yowen had nothing to say.

He actually believed that he wouldn't get caught because…Just see! Electra's powers are awesome. She can put her consciousness on the internet! Go anywhere, take data, and return! His hacking skills made this possible, and he was improving every day.

Seeing Yowen not saying anything, Zevien smiled, "trust me. If we work together, I can help you a lot. Like…a lot. I will secure your future, give you money and give you my trust. In return, you can use this power properly for our benefit."

"And before that, you want me to help you complete this fairy spirit summoning spell?" Yowen asked with slight hesitation.

"Indeed," Zevien nodded, "let's complete this in seven days. With Electra here, it will make it easier for us."

"It's possible," Eletra nodded, "although I am not that knowledgeable about fairy summoning just because I am a fairy, I can try to help identify the faults due to my nature of being a fairy spirit."

"Fine, let's do it," Yowen nodded, "Also, you should know that it was me who helped you and your friends."

"Thank you for that," Zevien said with a grin, "trust me, you will not regret working with me."

"You already know so many things about me, and it's outside of my comprehension how you did that," Yowen sighed before he nodded, "whatever. I am going to think about my future and work with you since you have already made some connections with powerful people; this seems the best option to me right now."

"Good!"

…

"Why is Zevien not here yet?" Vernisia asked with doubt.

"He is safe wherever he is," Dan said with a relieved face, "I am really surprised by how the authorities quickly caught the real perpetrator."

"True, that was too efficient to be true, but whatever," Erica said with a nod, her eyes showing relief as well. "It's good for us."

The three of them were attending the magic blacksmith class. Since it was their first magic blacksmith class, they were still only introduced to this concept as the teacher told information and basic theories about it.

On the other hand, Touma was inside his office in the academy when he suddenly received a message from Zevien stating that he would be absent from the academy for the next seven days.

Zevien also sent the same message to Dan, Vernisia, and Erica.

They sent back a message asking why but Zevien only told them that he would explain to them personally after seven days.

…

For the next seven days, Zevien stayed at Yowen's house. There was a bed in the basement, and he slept there.

He also ordered his daily necessities with his money so that Yowen's family didn't think that he was leeching off of them.

Every day, they try to perfect the magic formation after using it.

...

On the sixth day, Zevien once again created a magic formation and activated it, which caused a big magic circle to appear in front of them. It was a two-meter big magic circle.

Electra observed the circle carefully with narrowed eyes as she tried to feel it with her innate perception of fairies that can sense fairy-related powers.

"Not a solid connection yet. Need to strengthen your intent and carve it properly at the last part," Electra said, "once the connection is formed, the fairy will be summoned based on the magic power they sense in your mana.

"The fairies there can sense the summoning, but if they think you are weak, they will reject it. As such, you should pour your feelings into it. Consider including your passion, mindset, determination, and ambitions as well if you want to summon a fairy more powerful than you.

"Otherwise, you will only summon fairies that are as strong as you. But that is fine as well because both of you can get strong together that way. Like Yowen and me."

"I see," Zevien nodded before sitting down to take some rest and absorb some mana from the mana stones he bought using his money. "Let's continue again after I recover my mana."
