Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Cana Alberona's Magical Talent
Allen's backyard.
Allen's backyard is quite large. The back yard is covered with short grass and various kinds of trees which make the view there look shady and beautiful. There is also a view of the lake that can be seen directly from this place. Apart from these things, there are also various kinds of facilities in Allen's backyard, such as lounge chairs, a public kitchen which contains a large number of drinks and snacks, various kinds of books, and other things.
Since then the house can be used. Laxus usually trains in the Guild's backyard. Now, he has made that place his training ground even though he received various lectures from Allen because on the first day he trained there, he almost destroyed the back of his house. Allen also taught Laxus a training method that he could use without destroying anything at all.
Cana first came to Allen's house. The reaction he showed when he found out that this famous mansion in Magnolia was Allen's house, she was truly shocked. Her surprise increased when she saw the various luxurious interiors in the house.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability" Laxus said casually, currently the three of them were in the backyard.
"It's rare for me to use this ability," Allen replied, the Allen who was with them right now was not the real Allen but a clone body created by him using the wood element, "I prefer to do anything using a real body rather than a clone body unless there are some urgent matters that don't exist. Can be left by me. The clone body will be used at that time."
"…Has your magic energy been replenished?"
"Not yet" Laxus shook his head, "It's only half filled and it will probably take another two hours before it's fully filled."
"Then take a rest first. You can start again once your energy has recovered."
"Hm,"
Laxus nodded but he didn't move from his current spot. He was interested in Allen's way of training Cana to awaken her magical energy. Allen also didn't really mind Laxus' presence there.
"We will start the training," Allen said with a smile, "Before that, Cana, what do you know about magic?"
"Magic is a miracle that few people in this world have. Magic is also usually used to help people or do various things."
"That's right," Allen nodded, "Magic is a miracle that exists in this world. Only a few people can use magic in this world because their bodies can absorb magic energy in the surrounding environment and then store it in a container inside their bodies. For magicians, the container inside the body is very important. The larger the container inside a magician's body, the greater the magic energy he has. The greater the magical energy a person has, the stronger the wizard. With an abundance of magical energy, a person will be able to easily release various abilities ranging from low destructive power to very strong destructive power."
Cana processed the information she had just received slowly. Allen also didn't immediately continue, he let Cana understand the information he had just conveyed.
"There are many types of magic that exist in this world. Elemental magic, transformation magic, tool magic, summoning magic, and a large number of others. Every person who has the qualifications to become a magician usually has a certain talent which can refer to the magic they use. Just like, Laxus. He has a talent for using electric element magic."
Laxus immediately released a bit of his magic. His body immediately emitted a yellow flash and then was immediately pulled back by him.
"There are also wizards who are talented in the field of transformation magic. Transformation magic is magic that allows the user to transform into an animal, beast, or figure that can increase their combat power. Meanwhile, there are also people with talents that are better than others, where these figures can easily master certain fields of magic, for example, I master the field of elemental magic. I have magic that focuses on the elements in this world."
Cana returned to processing the information she had just received. He slowly understood the information.
"How can a wizard know what talent he has?"
"Good question," Allen smiled and explained, "There are two ways to find out what talent a person has. The first way is to look at the parents. Usually a wizard will inherit the magical abilities of his parents. However, there are also some cases where a wizard does not inherit the magical abilities of his parents. Even though he is not a parent, he may have inherited it from his grandfather or great-grandfather. The point is that there is still a blood relationship with the witch."
"You can take an example from me" Laxus added, "My father was a paper magic user while my Grandfather was a light and giant magic user. I didn't inherit the magic abilities that both of them had. "My magical abilities come from my great-grandfather who was a user of electrical magic."
"Yes, that's one example" Allen nodded, "Gildarts, your father is a user of destructive magic abilities. Destruction magic is a magic ability that can destroy anything very easily except living creatures. Gildarts is able to destroy inanimate objects such as rocks, mountains and various other inanimate objects very easily, but his magic has no effect on living creatures. Actually, it has an influence, but until the creature falls apart, it's impossible to do."
Cana slowly accepted the information she had just obtained. He was starting to understand it.
"Then there is a second way to find out a person's magical talent," Allen continued, "This second way is when you start to be able to use magic."
"When you start to be able to use magic energy..." Cana muttered softly.
"When a person begins to be able to absorb the magic energy in the environment into his body through the meditation process, a miracle will appear. For example, Laxus will only awaken his magical energy through meditation. When he succeeds in generating magic energy by successfully absorbing magic energy into his body, his body will faintly begin to emit a stream of lightning which will reveal the talent he has. However, this kind of thing usually only happens to wizards who have very high talent in that field of magical ability. But, there's no need to worry if when you succeed in generating magical energy you don't produce that kind of reaction. Although it could be said that you don't have any particular talent in certain areas of magic. As long as you try hard in training your strength. Even without a particular talent in a particular field of magic, you will be able to become a very powerful figure as long as you try hard."
"Hm," Cana nodded solemnly.
"Well, the explanation regarding magic is over. Do you want to rest first or do you want to continue the training process?"
"Carry on! I can still continue."
"Okay," Allen smiled then said, "We will get into the meditation practice process. You sit in a position that is comfortable for you."
Cana immediately carried out the orders given by Allen. She immediately sat down on the grass in a position as comfortable as she thought.
"The process of awakening magic energy will usually take quite a long time. Some can revive it in one day while others take days, maybe even months. Therefore, if you cannot feel magic energy within this one day period, you should not feel sad or want to give up. You just need to try hard. If the first day fails, then do it on the second day. If the second day fails, then, do it on the third day. Don't get bored with failure. Use the failures you experienced previously as lessons that can make you move forward. Understand?"
"I understand" Cana nodded solemnly.
"Okay, then you can start. Close your eyes then calm yourself. Feel the magic energy in the environment around you. When you can feel it, you try to guide the magic energy into your body. You can start now"
"Hm," Cana nodded and started to close her eyes.
"How was your training?" Allen looked at Laxus with interest, "How long can you maintain your magic energy to cover your body?"
"Seven minutes"
"There should be an improvement compared to before, right?"
"Hm," Laxus nodded, "Since starting to practice using the training you taught me before. My strength has increased greatly. It seems like the others are the same as me. I can feel their strength increasing better compared to before."
"The training taught by me is stacked training. As long as they practice every day using those exercises, even if they only practice one day. The accumulated training they get in a one year period is enormous. Maybe in the next two to three years, there will be a new S class magician who will appear in our guild."
"Isn't there one this year too?" Laxus replied, "With your strength it is very easy for you to reach that position. Grandpa and the old man must have thought about this too and will choose you to take part in this year's S class wizard exam."
"What I said earlier does not count against me." Allen smiled and said, "I already know that myself. Master will definitely choose me to take part in this year's S class wizard ascension exam."
"...Well," Laxus sighed then said, "Have you thought about who will accompany you in the exam?"
"Companion? Is something like that necessary?"
"Usually," Laxus exclaimed, "It's just that every year the rules regarding the S class wizard exam are different. Sometimes participants who take the exam have to look for a companion to accompany them in taking the exam. Sometimes that's not the case. I don't know the rules for this year"
"Hm, well, if you have to look for a companion. How about you? Do you want to be my companion?"
"Does this kind of thing need to be asked?" Laxus smiled.
"That's good!"

"How is the kid's training going?"
Currently in Allen's backyard. Allen and Makarov were seen sitting together while enjoying the drinks served in front of them. Allen was currently taking a short break after finishing work while Makarov came to see the progress of Cana's training and also wanted to know the progress of building the magic energy measuring crystal ball. As for Laxus himself, he is currently away on assignment. The task he carried out was in Magnolia City.
With his current strength, it was rather difficult for him to carry out tasks outside Magnolia City. Moreover, because of the training he did, he almost always lacked magic energy. Therefore, she could only do light tasks in Magnolia City, such as being a cafe waitress or something like that.
"Still the same as when she first started" Allen answered him, "She still can't feel the magic energy in the surrounding environment"
Makarov stared for a moment then sighed, "It's hard to believe that the child is Gildarts's child."
"The thing that should be hard to believe is that the old man doesn't know that he actually has a child" Allen replied with a strange facial expression, "I wonder what kind of thinking that old fool has"
Makarov chuckled at Allen's words.
"Well, even though until now she hasn't been able to feel the magic energy around him. As long as she doesn't fall or lose her motivation to study and train, she will be able to become a great figure in the future."
"Hm," Makarov nodded and continued, "Do you intend to train her fully?"
Allen thought for a moment then nodded, "Well, I guess that's not a bad thing. After all, training one or two people is not complicated. Moreover, for now, the training they are doing only needs to increase the magic energy they have, not yet advanced training. How is the guild doing?"
Makarov's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard Allen's question. He gritted his teeth in anger, "Those naughty bastards! The problems created by them have increased even more since their strength has increased compared to before! Rumi, this brat! On the last mission, he succeeded in completing the mission. However, during this mission, he destroyed approximately five houses. Jack! This little bastard, the same as Rumi is even worse. She destroyed a number of houses and also injured the client who issued the mission to us! Yosuga! This brat, he destroyed a park while carrying out a mission!...."
Makarov began to mention one by one the problems created by the guild members. The strength possessed by the guild members had indeed increased compared to before. However, the problems they create are increasing over time. Allen chuckled listening to all the complaints that Makarov conveyed to him.
"Well, after all, they are young people who want to show themselves to the whole world. Let them do whatever they want as long as they can be responsible for what they do."
Makarov sighed then said, "I might meet my end sooner because of the trouble these little bastards created."
"I hope it's not that soon. As long as you meet your death quickly, who will inherit your current position? It would be impossible for you to inherit it to Gildarts, right?"
Makarov's body immediately stiffened when he heard this. He then remembered something then looked at Allen.
"Don't think I want that position. I don't want to have a headache like you do. I just want to be an ordinary member without having to get involved in complicated things like you are feeling right now."
Makarov was very sad to hear this. He has thoughts of making Allen the next Guild Master of Fairy Tail. However, hearing the direct rejection. He could only give up.
"Hmm? Hee~ Looks like she finally succeeded and the talent she has is also a good talent."
"Hm?"
Makarov immediately raised his head. He immediately glanced at Cana who was currently engulfed in balls of light around her body. Makarov also felt a certain amount of magic energy which was now starting to enter Cana's body.
"Let's meet her"
"Hm,"
Allen and Makarov immediately got up from their positions and walked towards Cana who was slowly starting to open her eyes.
