Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 50: Ten Wizard Saints candidate?

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Ten Wizard Saints candidate?

While Ur and Ultear were resolving their misunderstandings, Nate arrived alone at the guild.

"Good morning, Nate."

"I heard you sparred with Laxus and turned him into a punching bag!"

"Nate, I have to remind you, last night's update was a bit lazy!"

As Nate walked into the guild, many members greeted him.

"Good morning, Macao, Wakaba..."

Of course, he wasn't going to admit to being lazy.

That update took him a full half-hour!

He made his way to the bar.

"Morning, Mira."

Nate greeted the waitress. "Haven't seen Gray around?"

Mira Jane was wiping down the bar. She looked up with a warm smile and said, "Good morning, Nate. Gray went out on a job yesterday, and Natsu went with him."

"Those two actually teamed up?"

Nate was a bit surprised. He had planned to tell Gray about his brother Lyon, but since Gray wasn't around, it would have to wait until another time.

"Want some breakfast?" Mira asked.

"I'll have the same as last time."

Mira disappeared into the kitchen, returning shortly with a delicious breakfast.

Nate ate heartily and praised her cooking again. It was both free and delicious—what more could he ask for?

"Is the guild master here?" Nate suddenly remembered something important and asked.

Mira Jane pointed upstairs while clearing the dishes. "The master is on the second floor with Laxus."

Nate immediately headed upstairs. Although he hadn't earned the rank of S-Class yet, this wasn't his first time going up.

Mira smiled wryly but didn't stop him. Nate had defeated both Erza and Laxus, so his strength was unquestionable. As long as he didn't break the guild's rules by taking S-Class jobs without permission, there was no issue.

On the second floor, Nate found Makarov and Laxus in the tearoom. Laxus, with his head wrapped in bandages, noticed Nate's arrival and nodded.

"I was careless before, but I won't lose next time!" Laxus declared proudly before heading downstairs.

Nate chuckled inwardly. It seemed he'd earned Laxus's respect; the "friendship punch" always worked.

"Master," Nate addressed Makarov, handing him the second-generation magic ring he had developed. "This is a new login device that ordinary people can use. What do you think?"

Makarov examined the ring for a moment before smiling. "Did Laxus make this?"

"You could tell?" Nate was impressed. Like grandfather, like grandson.

Makarov nodded, handing the ring back. "The craftsmanship is excellent, and you used some high-quality magic materials. What's the cost?"

"About 50,000 J," Nate replied, realizing that the materials alone had cost as much as a month's rent.

His first-generation rings were sold for only 10,000 J, but those had been a system reward, much more refined than what he could make himself.

"The cost is a bit high. If you want to distribute these second-generation rings to the general public, you'll need to find a way to reduce the cost," Makarov said thoughtfully. "I can help you connect with the Magic Council—they might be willing to collaborate."

Over the past few days, with the introduction of the online commission feature, all the major guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore had embraced the new system, and the Guild Masters were full of praise for it. They had even created a 'Guild Masters Alliance' chat group on the internet, where they exchanged tips on how to use the system more efficiently.

Even the Magic Council, known for being strict and critical, had surprisingly praised it. This was unheard of.

Makarov found it strange—he was used to getting scolded by the Council, not praised. But, of course, the real credit went to Nate.

In a private chat with Makarov, Council Chairman Crawford Seam had even said, "This is a groundbreaking piece of magic!"

He went on to add, "Makarov, if there weren't already a full roster for the Ten Wizard Saints, I'd suggest giving him a spot right now!"

Then, with a laugh, he joked, "Maybe you should step aside and let the younger generation take the honors?"

Of course, he was referring to Nate.

Makarov relayed this to Nate, leaving him stunned.

"Is it really that big of a deal?" Nate asked. "It's just an online commission system. Does that really warrant being named one of the Ten Wizard Saints?"

Makarov laughed. "It's not an exaggeration. Your online commission system is revolutionary magic that will leave a lasting mark on the history of the magic world."

"Perhaps, centuries from now, my name will be forgotten, but yours won't be. You'll become part of history!"

Hearing this, Nate began to take internet magic more seriously. To him, it was just a normal system, something commonplace in the world he came from. But he had underestimated its impact on the magic world of Fairy Tail.

"Even so, could it really earn me the title of Wizard Saint?" Nate was still skeptical. "I'm not that powerful—I'm still weaker than Erza."

"It's just a nomination for now," Makarov explained. "The title of Wizard Saint is reserved for the ten greatest mages on the continent. Magic power isn't the only criterion. Your contribution to the magic world through your internet magic could outweigh the importance of raw power."

In short, the internet was so revolutionary that it transcended magic power.

Even if Nate's magic power didn't yet measure up to that of the other Wizard Saints, his magic alone was enough to eclipse everything else.

And, eventually, his magic power would catch up. After all, no one else could replicate what Nate had created.

So, if anyone had a problem with it, they'd need to come up with a magic system just as groundbreaking and revolutionary.

Understanding this reasoning, Nate's expression became a bit more complex.

He had imagined that, as the internet developed and his magic power grew, he might one day become a Wizard Saint. But he hadn't expected that he was already being considered, despite his relatively modest magic power.

"Anyway, you're already on the Council's radar," Makarov said, bringing the conversation back to the second-generation rings. "If you want to promote these new login devices, I can take you to meet the Council members. It's up to you."

Nate thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Promoting the second-generation rings is more of a business venture. I think it's better to leave that to professionals."

He thought of Lucy's father. In just a decade, he had built the Heartfilia family business into one of the most powerful conglomerates in Fiore. As a savvy businessman, he would certainly be able to lower costs and distribute the rings across the continent much more efficiently.

Of course, working with the Magic Council could still be beneficial.

"It seems you've already made up your mind," Makarov said with a smile. "Go ahead with your plans. If anything goes wrong, I'll back you up! The guild is your home, and your comrades are your family."

"I understand. Thank you, Master."
