Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Monster

???

Lu Li froze for a moment when he saw this. What is this? Could this be the legendary System or "cheat" that only transmigrators possess?

"System? System? Come out!"

Lu Li shouted loudly in his heart. If he really had a System or a cheat, wouldn't he be able to dominate this other world just like those protagonists in novels? Spending money like water, surrounded by beautiful women, living a happy life.

Makarov saw Lu Li looking a bit anxious and assumed Lu Li was impatient to learn magic. He smiled and said: "Don't be anxious. To use magic, you need to understand Magic Power first..."

"Is it like this?"

Lu Li mimicked Makarov and opened his right hand.

*Whoosh~*!

Flames appeared out of thin air on Lu Li's palm, rapidly forming a fireball.

Makarov stared blankly at the fireball hovering above Lu Li's palm.

"Have you learned magic before?"

Lu Li shook his head: "No."

"Then how can you use the Fireball spell?"

"Didn't you just teach me?"

"I just taught you? When did I teach you?"

Makarov looked baffled.

"Didn't you cast the Fireball spell just like this a moment ago?"

Lu Li spoke as he dissipated the fireball, letting it turn back into magic particles. Then, he opened his right hand again. In the blink of an eye, another fireball appeared above his palm.

Makarov understood now. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "You... You learned magic just by watching once?!"

"Mm... something like that."

Lu Li played excitedly with the fireball in his hand, constantly dissipating and reforming it. To actually be able to use magic—this feeling was truly exhilarating.

Seeing Lu Li using magic with such excitement, Makarov could tell Lu Li wasn't lying. Any child who had just learned magic would look exactly like Lu Li right now.

At this moment, a girl's voice rang out.

"Tch! It's just the simplest basic magic, Fireball. Nothing special."

Lu Li looked up and saw a young girl with white hair, wearing a purple tank top with a purple ribbon tied in her hair, wearing a look of disdain.

Lu Li quickly recognized her identity: Mirajane. One of the future S-Class Mages of Fairy Tail, and also the guild's poster girl.

She was one of the top beauties in the *Fairy Tail* anime. As a man, Lu Li was naturally deeply impressed by a beauty like Mirajane.

However, the current Mirajane had a somewhat terrible personality and a very explosive temper. She looked like a delinquent, making it impossible to imagine the gentle, beautiful, and cute Mirajane she would become later.

"Mira, don't be so harsh on the newcomer."

A red-haired girl wearing armor on her upper body with a sword hanging at her waist spoke while drinking tea. Lu Li immediately recognized her as the young Erza.

"Hah? Are you telling me what to do?"

Mirajane stepped one foot onto the chair and the other onto the table, shouting at Erza.

Erza calmly replied: "I'm not telling you what to do, I'm teaching you how to behave."

"Hah? Wanna fight?" Mirajane's hands transformed into sharp, demon-like claws.

"If that is what you want, I don't mind settling this with you."

Erza stood up as she spoke, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword.

Lightning seemed to shoot from their eyes as their gazes met. The atmosphere instantly became tense, ready for a fight at any moment.

*Swish!*

A massive hand blocked the space between the two. Makarov roared in anger: "How many times have I said it! No using magic for combat inside the guild! No magic combat! Did you two treat my words as wind blowing past your ears?!"

"Hmph!"

Mirajane and Erza both snorted coldly and sat back down.

Makarov let out a breath and looked at Lu Li: "These brats are always so worrisome. Lu Li, you mustn't become... Ehhhh——?!!"

Just as Makarov turned his gaze back to Lu Li, he saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.

Lu Li's body was rapidly growing larger.

*Boom!*

Lu Li's head punched a hole right through the ceiling of the Fairy Tail guild hall.

"Ehhhh——?!!"

Everyone in the guild looked like their eyes were about to pop out of their heads. They were all scared silly by the scene.

Lu Li was also bewildered. Just now, when he saw Makarov use Giant Magic, he subconsciously wanted to learn it. His brain began to operate, analyzing the Giant Magic, and text appeared in his mind again.

**[Observing Makarov's Giant Magic. Your comprehension is heaven-defying. You have realized Giant Magic!]**

He had actually realized another magic. Giant Magic was not a simple spell like Fireball; it was a magic with powerful destructive force.

Unable to contain his excitement, Lu Li couldn't help but use it. However, since it was his first time, he didn't control his strength well and poked a hole directly through the roof.

Lu Li's eyes could now see the streets of Magnolia Town. He was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly shrank back down to his normal size.

Lu Li quickly apologized: "Sorry, Master. I accidentally broke the roof."

"Lu... Lu Li... just now... did you use Giant Magic?"

Makarov had no time to care about the roof right now. He asked stammering, full of disbelief.

Lu Li nodded: "Yeah!"

"You... you can use Giant Magic?"

"I learned it just now when I saw you use it, Master."

"?!!"

"Impossible?!"

Hearing Lu Li's words, everyone in the guild exclaimed in shock, looking at Lu Li in disbelief.

"You learned it just by watching once?"

Lu Li scratched his head. He wasn't too sure himself, but the fact that text appeared in his mind was obviously unique.

"Mm... pretty much. Though I'm not skilled at it."

"Monster!!!"
