When Makarov brought Lu Li back, everyone in the guild learned that this child's home had been destroyed by monsters and that he was the sole survivor.
But they never expected this boy to possess such formidable magical talent.
Giant Magic wasn't some low-level spell like Fireball; it was an extremely difficult magic. Fireball was a basic offensive spell that practically anyone present could easily learn if they wanted to.
Giant Magic, however, was incredibly difficult. The only person in the guild capable of using it was the Guild Master.
Yet this boy had cast the same magic after watching it just once. If that's not a monster, what is?
Makarov also sensed Lu Li's terrifying magical talent at this moment. With talent like this, if he wasn't guided correctly and went down the wrong path, he could potentially cause terrible disasters for the world in the future.
But if guided correctly, Lu Li would become a pillar of the Fairy Tail guild.
Makarov persuaded Lu Li: "Lu Li, don't you like magic? Do you want to join the Fairy Tail guild? You can learn a lot of magic here."
Everyone in the guild looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Mm, I'll join."
Right now, he was homeless, and the only people he knew in this world were those from Fairy Tail. Besides, and most importantly, joining Fairy Tail meant he could learn more and more magic.
"Oooooohhhh!!"
Everyone in the guild cheered. If it had been just an ordinary mage joining, they wouldn't have cared much. But Lu Li was clearly a monster-level genius. Having such a genius join Fairy Tail would greatly boost the guild's strength and reputation.
"Grandpa's magic!! That's amazing!!"
Natsu's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Li use Giant Magic. He also really liked Makarov's Giant Magic, but he simply couldn't learn it.
Gray rarely agreed with Natsu, but he nodded: "That's beyond amazing, it's terrifying!"
He had suffered so much to learn Ice-Make Magic. This guy learned the Master's magic just by watching once. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe such a scary guy existed in this world.
"Tch! He just learns magic a bit faster! Nothing special. Magic is just one part; what matters is how powerful the mage is."
Mirajane crossed her arms, looking annoyed. She hadn't received this much attention when she joined the guild. But mainly, she was very jealous of Lu Li's talent. That was the Master's magic! She really wanted it too.
Erza said: "Being able to learn magic so quickly and put it to use is a terrifying talent in itself. It seems he will be a good rival."
Lu Li had displayed astonishing magical talent, but Erza wouldn't admit defeat.
Soon, Makarov completed the registration procedures for Lu Li. A silver-white Fairy Tail guild emblem was stamped onto the back of Lu Li's right hand.
"I really joined the Fairy Tail guild."
When his life entered its countdown, he watched the *Fairy Tail* anime every day. Compared to other heavy anime, *Fairy Tail* was full of joy. He loved that feeling and had dreamed of joining one day. But now that he had really joined, it felt so unreal.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail. Treat this place as your home from now on. Everyone in the guild is your family."
Makarov smiled at Lu Li. Having such a genius boy join the guild was extremely beneficial.
Lu Li nodded.
Then, many children gathered around him.
"Hey! You're Lu Li, right? I'm Natsu Dragneel. You're so amazing, you actually learned Grandpa's magic. How did you do it?"
Natsu asked Lu Li with a curious face.
Lu Li wasn't sure how he learned it either, so he could only tell the truth: "I don't know. I just watched and learned it."
"I don't believe it. If you can learn just by watching, then learn my magic."
Gray said, placing one fist onto the palm of his other hand. He released magic from both hands, and cold air emanated from them. Then, an ice sculpture of the Fairy Tail guild emblem floated above his palm.
[Observing Ice-Make Magic. Your comprehension is heaven-defying. You have realized Ice-Make Magic!]
*Learned another new magic.*
Lu Li was very excited inside.
Immediately, Lu Li mimicked Gray's pose.
Cold air emanated from his palms. When he opened his fist, an ice sculpture of the Fairy Tail guild emblem, almost identical to Gray's, appeared. Though, it was slightly inferior to Gray's in detail.
"He learned it again!!!"
"So amazing!!"
Seeing this scene, even though they had already seen Lu Li use Giant Magic, the guild members were shocked by such rapid learning speed.
"My... my magic... so easily..."
Gray's mouth hung open. He had trained bitterly with his master Ur for a long time to learn this magic, yet the other guy learned it just by watching once. It was quite a blow to Gray.
"Learn mine! Learn mine!"
Natsu got interested and ignited raging flames in both hands.
Lu Li watched Natsu cast his spell intently. This was Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, the magic of the *Fairy Tail* protagonist. Naturally, he couldn't miss such a powerful magic.
[Observing Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Due to the lack of the necessary 'Dragon Seed', realization failed. Attempting an alternative approach: Constructing an artificial Dragon Seed using magic. Construction successful! New magic created! Please name the new magic!]
Countless pieces of knowledge poured into Lu Li's brain. Sparks of wisdom and inspiration burst forth, one strange idea after another emerging, until finally, the magic was completed.
"Since it was created by imitating Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, should I call it Fire Dragon Transformation Magic? No, that sounds bad. Fire Dragonification Magic? Sounds ugly. Zeref created God Slayer Magic by imitating Dragon Slayer Magic, so I'll just call it Dragon God Transformation."
[New magic 'Dragon God Transformation' named successfully!]
