Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Giving Mavis a Magic Net Ring

When he thought of Fairy Tail\'s Guild Master, the first image that popped into his mind was someone constantly writing self-reflection reports.

"Really? You\'re not?" Mavis seemed surprised that she\'d guessed wrong. She watched as Nate pulled a silver magic ring from his pocket.

"As for this... it\'s part of the internet magic I created. The ring is essential to access it," he said, smiling as he handed the ring to Mavis. "Most spirits probably can\'t use it directly, but you should be able to, First Master."

Mavis was delighted and intrigued by Nate\'s gesture. \'He\'s giving a ghost a ring!\'

She reached out to take it, curious about Nate\'s so-called internet magic. "No sign of magic energy at all!" she noted as she put it on. Immediately, a new registration screen appeared before her:

> [Welcome to the world of the internet.]

> [Please enter your internet nickname.]

> [Usernames cannot be changed after registration, so choose carefully.]

> [Username: ______]

Mavis glanced at Nate, who smiled and said, "You can pick any nickname you like, but try to avoid using your real name."

\'A pseudonym?\'

Taking his advice to heart, Mavis thought for a moment, then typed in \'Fairies Are Eternal Adventures\' as her nickname. After clicking confirm, she gasped like a child with a new toy.

(Bleam: Fairies are Eternal Adventures -> Maybe the real fairies are the friends we made along the way? Hahahaha. This is stupid forget this ??)

The screen faded, replaced by a page filled with various magical items and options.

"Amazing magic! How did you make it work without any magic energy? I\'m so curious!" she asked, her eyes sparkling.

\'You\'re like an excited kid!\' Nate thought, feeling slightly overwhelmed. "First Master, I\'ll show you how to use it," he said, guiding her to the bottom right corner where a small penguin icon sat. "This is the friends feature. You can chat with friends anywhere on the continent and even in other worlds."

The Celestial World could also be considered another world, right?

Mavis was thrilled. After staying on Tenrou Island for so long, even the simplest features excited her. Nate continued, showing her the search function and explaining how she could add Makarov, who was listed as \'Fairy Tail\'s Grandpa\'.

"Wow, this is fantastic!" Mavis beamed, her lips pouting slightly at the way he guided her—almost as if he were talking to a child. She wasn\'t a child, but this magic was wonderful.

...

Meanwhile, in the guild\'s tavern, Makarov sat at the bar, discussing recent events with his friend Yajima. The Council had recently endured an attack from Grimoire Heart, but the chaos was finally settling down.

Former Chairman Crawford Seam had resisted retiring, and the Council, considering his recent achievements, allowed him to remain as a regular member.

Yajima: "Thanks to your guild member Nate, the Magic Net has been a huge help in managing the Council\'s affairs."

Fairy Tail\'s Grandpa: "Is the Council being restructured? Who\'s the new Chairman?"

Yajima: "Gran Doma. And I have to tell you, the new Chairman is not as lenient toward Fairy Tail as Crawford was, so be prepared."

Fairy Tail\'s Grandpa: "Gran Doma... That could be troublesome."

Yajima: "As for me, I\'m retiring too. I\'ll be opening a restaurant in Hargeon once I step down."

\'Not a bad life,\' Makarov thought, wondering if he, too, could someday retire. Who could he pass the guild onto? Nate? Laxus? Gildarts? Erza? He considered a few names when a friend request notification popped up:

> [User "Fairies Are Eternal Adventures" has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?]

There was no message attached. Makarov, curious about the nickname, paused. The name resonated with him—it echoed the very spirit of Fairy Tail, symbolizing endless adventure and the unknown. Intrigued, he accepted.

Fairy Tail\'s Grandpa: "That\'s a fantastic name. Who are you?"

Fairy Tail\'s Grandpa: "Gildarts?"

Only someone deeply connected to the guild would use a name like that. And as far as Makarov knew, the only person who didn\'t have a ring yet was Gildarts, who was still out on his hundred-year quest.

The reply came quickly.

Fairies Are Eternal Adventures: "I\'m Mavis. Hello, Third Master." ??

\'Cough!\' Makarov nearly spat out his drink, eyes widening as he read the message. "The First Guild Master?" he muttered in disbelief.

...

Back on Tenrou Island, Nate watched Mavis, amused by her playful nature. She had figured out how to use the emojis on her own, and he could tell she was eager to see Makarov\'s reaction.

"No response from the Third Master yet," Mavis giggled. "I wonder if I scared him... Fourth Master?"

\'I\'m not the Fourth Master!\' Nate thought, suppressing a sigh. He certainly didn\'t want to be known as someone destined for a short tenure.

Still, he couldn\'t deny that Mavis had a cute smile. And even if he wasn\'t fond of the title, he enjoyed seeing her happy.

"Why don\'t you try some of the other features while we wait?" he suggested.

From there, he led Mavis through every aspect of the internet, explaining the forum, Weekly Sorcerer, Council Updates, Streaming, and even Magic Net Express Deliveries. She explored each function eagerly.

Finally, they reached the games section, where four options awaited her: [Mahjong], [Poker], [Fruit Ninja], and the [Magic Arena].

Seeing the games, Mavis looked as happy as a kid in a candy store. But when she realized the games required points, she gave him a pleading look.

"Fourth Master?"

\'How many times must I tell you... I\'m not the Fourth Master!\' Begrudgingly, Nate gifted her 10,000 points.

Mavis immediately began playing, ignoring the new message from Makarov. She started with a few rounds of [Mahjong] but soon lost all her virtual chips. She then tried [Poker], only to have her remaining chips taken by a player named "Wakaba."

Indignant, she muttered, "No way am I giving him any more chips." Nate chuckled to himself, wondering if he should tell Wakaba he had just beaten the First Guild Master of Fairy Tail.

Moving on, Mavis found joy in [Fruit Ninja]. It was a single-player game, so no one could take her points. However, when she checked the leaderboard, she noticed her ranking was somewhere in the hundreds.

"There are so many skilled players," she mused, before her gaze finally landed on [Magic Arena].

"This one\'s special," Nate explained. "Your consciousness actually enters a virtual world where you can spar with mages from across the continent."

As he described the game, Mavis\' eyes sparkled with admiration. "This is incredible magic! Fourth Master, you\'re a genius!"

\'I\'m still not the Fourth Master,\' Nate thought with a sigh, noting that her chat icon was still flashing. "You can invite friends to duel in the game too. Maybe the Third Guild Master would be a good match—he might not believe that message you sent."

"Really? You can do that?" Mavis narrowed her eyes playfully, taking his advice and inviting "Fairy Tail\'s Grandpa" to a duel in the [Magic Arena].

"So interesting! Fourth Master, your magic... no, can this even be considered magic?" She looked at him, eyes intense with wonder. "Are you really a human mage, or are you a god walking the human world?"

As someone cursed by a god, Mavis was no stranger to divine power.
