Chapter 73: Self Discovery
~Mavis V. POV~
Opening my eyes I soon backed away slowly witnessing the change within Silva's spirit intertwining with the flow of nature's spirit finally creating his Magic.
Shock is one word I would use to see in the outside world.
Currently meditating getting a feel of his Magic Power unlocking it I witness pure shock that his Magic Power aura was pure white as his whole form changed to match this power I have seen before causing me to figure out what this type of Magic was…
I knew it.
Somewhere deep within my mind, I had an inkling of what his actual Magic Power was when I first felt my <Fairy Heart> resonating with someone else.
Many things were going through my mind when I first encountered Silva with many hypotheses forming as to why it resonated to him.
The Eternal Magic: Fairy Heart, also known as Lumen Histoire, is Fairy Tail's greatest secret and a very powerful Magic, said to be superior to my creations of the 'Three Great Fairy Magics.'
Fairy Heart is a source of infinite Magic Power, stemming from a combination of residual Magic Power left in my body due to Ankhseram's Curse and decades of failed experiments by Precht to resurrect me.
…
Yet why?
Why…
Why does HE have the same magic as me though?
What could've caused such a reaction like this to form?
From what I understand Silva was blessed by a God who could count the same as me being cursed but he never experienced any magic residue before.
Is there something I'm not understanding?
Frowning at this newest discovery I find myself with one of my close friends suddenly unlocking <Fairy Heart> in that form of pure white I couldn't help but wonder how he managed to discover or rather if this is his true form of Magic.
It's not too impossible to assume.
There have been hereditary types of Magic to certain clan members or certain families that have a great affinity for certain types of Magic.
Take for example the Heartfillia Family.
They specialize in Celestial Spirit Magic and their family line has the greatest affinity of Space Magic that each caster born from them will be innately great at Space Magic to match with their Celestial Spirit.
*Ssssss*
Waiting a bit I used my Magic Sense to detect Silva's connection of his spirit with the flow I smiled finally seeing my student unlocking his inner magic within.
That was when the connection ended trying to search for him.
You can't exactly search infinity if they always massively produce it. Make a mental note of that just to be sure.
Just as the form of his wings and white hair matched he returned to his usual brown color as he began panting feeling tired but shock evident in his eyes realizing what he had just done or something else bothering him.
Opening his eyes with surprise flashing across them standing up seeing his Magic Power overflowing out with surprise voicing out his Magic much to my curiosity, "Whoa…!! Is this what it's like to have Magic? It's unbelievable… Is this what every Magic Caster feels using Magic Power… This certainly feels new."
Blinking at that with many implications going over my mind I see Silva recalled his spirit back inside himself muttering in surprise, "Whoa…! That's a new feeling. Feels weird that my magic power is coiling back into me. All that power is well… certainly too much I can tell. So… how the heck do I use it effectively then?"
Hmm…
Seems like he figured out somethings when he used <Fairy Heart>.
Although that's the least of the worries he should be concerned about now that it's confirmed he has the same power as I do.
I'm somewhat conflicted of what's he going to do but I also must warn him about NEVER using <Fairy Heart> for plenty of reasons for his own safety.
There's no telling the Alvrez Empire would do if they targeted him alone instead of going after Fairy Tail within Ishgar at least here in Fiore he should be safe from HIM.
I won't say he will never use it forever only if something endangers him and left with no choice should he ever use that power.
I couldn't help but chuckle at my students work on his own magic in his own progress viewing it like a toy much like I was in my early years when I discovered Illusion Magic testing out the many kinks of it.
Although this will be an interesting experience to say the least seeing how he will grow from now on.
But for now, though I need to see what he does next and warn him about the power he now wields although it seems like that using <Fairy Heart> for him feels weaker somehow?
No…
Not weaker.
The <Fairy Heart> is certainly the same like mine it's just the caster is… weak.
Oh!
I soon realized why his <Fairy Heart> turned off on its own. A strong spirit also needs a strong body and a strong mind to match.
While his spirit is infinitely stronger his main limits are his mind and body limiting the continuous usage of his own Magic.
Whew…
Thank goodness.
Seems like if he wants to obtain or keep any of his infinite Magic Power, he needs to be strong both mentally and physically to keep up with the massive power within his body.
At least the future is starting to look much more interesting it seems.

~Silva K. POV~
Power.
That was what I can describe after finding out about my innate Magic after some help pushing me in the right direction feeling the new Magic, I feel coursing through my own soul the spirit manifesting.
But I feel as if I lost some of my strength just releasing my <Fairy Heart> when I came to again apart from a new power within me.
Feels foreign but somehow just, right?
Strange…
Still not as strange feeling tired from just using my new skill out. I wonder if there's a drawback as to why.
Although I got to admit I got to start grinding my skills later down the line…
But I was really surprised to obtain <Fairy Heart> sadly it has a drawback that I can't use or abuse as I would like.
Sigh…
Let's see what it says.
Skill List.

Damn…
My eyes nearly bulged out that I manage to get this Magic. This could be a real game changer in future fights ahead.
Heck this feels like that Super Saiyan transformation skill without worrying about wasting any MP skills while transformed along with additional benefits in fights but…
The Time Magic is a surprise though.
This could be very interesting down the line but how exactly do I work with this type of Magic to begin with?
Do I just start experimenting on what I can do?
What can I do currently with this magic?
Stop time?
Slow time?
Accelerate time?
Skip time?
Erase time?
Rewind time?
There's got to be some way for me to get a better idea of where to begin with this Magic and at what level could I start at with this type of Magic.
I mean I can recall a certain traitorous Wizard King coming into mind along with few others I could incorporate some sort of fighting styles, but would I be able to react in time to adjust my way of fighting?
While pondering such ideas Mavis came over grabbing my attention with a serious expression on her face, "Silva while I'm glad you managed to unlock your inner Magic, I think you and I are going to need to talk about the whole turning white transformation."
I mentally sighed at this because I figured she wouldn't be too happy with me using <Fairy Heart> thus began the explanation of I can't use it unless in dire situations.
And to be frank while the transformation seems useful I'm not touching that skill unless I'm in real danger.
Also, I don't want to be targeted by an Empire because of me having <Fairy Heart> with such low time limit of 29 seconds that equals to my level…
Yeah, that could lead to some major complications in the nearby future along with the fact I need to be extra careful of my actions when I use it.
After listening over Mavis words, I agreed with a nod of understanding replying in a serious tone, "Yeah… don't want some foreign land wanting that. I'll keep <Fairy Heart> a secret unless the situation calls for it is that dire. Best leave that alone as much as possible."
She sighs in relief of my judgement of my choice before returning to her usual cheerful self again asking in a curious tone about my new Time Magic, "Whew… at the very least we understand why you can't use that Magic. But onto another important question… How is it using <Fairy Heart>? Is transforming back a side effect of using Fairy Heart? And…"
Oh lord she won't stop asking questions?!!
Feeling a mental strain trying to answer the best I can about Mavis curiosity learning more of what <Fairy Heart> can do at the time but still at least I have my own personalized trump card if the need arises.
Sigh…
Well at least I can now use Magic that's a good thing.
But…
Smiling internally this is merely the first step to becoming a Magic Caster.
It's time I get to work on that front finally enough. And there's one place I would like to start researching on how to use my Magic.
Time to begin my path of being a Magic Caster.
Let's see about those runes I could start beginning to work with. Leaving the area with Mavis spouting more questions I finally asked her a question that got her curious, "Say Mavis can you show me how to produce Magic and tips to disable them?"
She smiled at that puffing her small chest out in a proud manner, "Hmphed! Of course, my student! You still have a lot to learn from me."
She wipes her nose being proud as I couldn't help but laugh at her antics of this little monster. This is going to be an interesting adventure that's certain now.
I mean who could have sensed me continents away?
So long as they don't know me, I'm in the clear right. Better to not think too much about the subject.

~Irene B. POV~
!!!
I felt it.
A shift in the magic world has occurred to those sensitive and powerful to Magic Power.
In my lab I felt the slight changes with shock that a great well of power suddenly erupted out of the blue and just as I felt it vanished without a trace.
With a massive shift of Magic just like 7 years ago a disturbance to the Magical World even from afar…
Smiling lightly at such a change to world makes me want it.
Want it and exploit for my personal use to cause the powerhouses of the world to know just to be silenced in the end.
Perhaps August was onto something few months ago noticing a new power emerging. Doubtful at first since there was no more disturbances and yet it happened, nonetheless.
*BOOM*
Sensing August Magic Power flare up it seems like his trying to search for this figure but doubtful since it's too little too late. It was brief but the sensation is gone.
However, I doubt our majesty would let something like thus fly by. He'll probably send his demons or spies to search for the rise of power.
Although…
Tracing a finger around my lips this has happened 2 times now that I think about it. I thought the first one was strange as the disturbance of Magic Power was brief that even I didn't notice but the second time was about few seconds but enough for me to notice.
Regardless I wonder who would cause a mere disturbance around the continents for those powerful enough to notice…
