"So? Did you learn it?"
Everyone looked at Lu Li curiously, wanting to know if Lu Li could even learn this kind of Lost Magic.
Lu Li shook his head.
Seeing Lu Li shake his head, everyone actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Makarov said: "That's normal! Don't be discouraged. Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is a Lost Magic, a magic taught to humans by Dragons. How could it be so easy to learn... wait?"
*Whoosh!*
Flames wrapped around Lu Li's hands, exactly the same as the magic Natsu had cast.
"Ehhhh——?!!"
"Lu Li... you learned it?!!"
Everyone stared at Lu Li in shock.
Lu Li slowly shook his head and said: "No. To learn Dragon Slayer Magic, a Dragon needs to personally plant a 'Dragon Seed' into the body. I don't have a Dragon Seed, so naturally, I can't learn Dragon Slayer Magic. So, I found an alternative way. I used magic power to imitate and create an artificial Dragon Seed. The effect should be similar to a real Dragon Seed, but in the end, it isn't Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. I named this newly created magic 'Dragon God Transformation'."
"..."
The entire guild fell silent. They all looked at Lu Li as if he were a monster. What? Because he didn't have a Dragon Seed, he created an artificial one, and used that artificial Dragon Seed to create a new magic, 'Dragon God Transformation', with power similar to Fire Dragon Slayer Magic? Is magic that easy to learn? Is magic that easy to create?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that someone could learn such difficult magic in such a short time, and even create a new magic from it.
Gray asked Natsu: "What's a Dragon Seed?"
Natsu looked confused too: "I don't know either!"
He had no idea about Dragon Seeds. When Igneel taught him Dragon Slayer Magic, he just learned it. He was completely unaware that Igneel had planted a Dragon Seed in his body.
Makarov asked, stammering slightly: "Lu... Lu Li, are you sure this is your first time encountering magic?"
Lu Li nodded.
"Then how can you learn just by looking? How do you know so much?"
"I'm not sure either. Just by watching you all cast magic, relevant knowledge automatically surfaces in my mind, allowing me to comprehend the magic being cast."
"What a freak!!"
To be able to learn magic just by watching once—they had all gone through bitter training to learn magic. This was just too freakish. How could such a freakishly talented person exist in this world?
Many people in the guild crowded around Lu Li, showing off their magic, wanting to see if Lu Li could learn it.
Seeing so much magic, Lu Li was incredibly excited. Transmigrating to the Fairy Tail guild and being able to learn so much magic—this life was just too blissful.
Seeing Lu Li like this, Makarov got a bit of a headache.
He reached out and called to Lu Li: "Lu Li!"
Hearing Makarov's voice, Lu Li immediately ran over: "Master, you called me."
"Lu Li, your magical talent is extremely high, but having just encountered magic, you might not be aware. For a Mage, knowing more magic doesn't necessarily mean being more powerful. Truly powerful Mages specialize in one type of magic and constantly research it. Only then can they become stronger."
Lu Li nodded. He knew Makarov was right. Jack of all trades, master of none.
It was like playing a game. Playing the same hero, some people can reach the top rank, while others are stuck in Diamond forever.
"I know, Master. I'm just very curious about magic and want to learn more of it."
Then Lu Li looked at Makarov with shining eyes: "Master, I heard you are one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Can you let me see your magic? I want to learn your magic."
Hearing Lu Li's words, Makarov rubbed his forehead helplessly. His words had been in vain.
He didn't mind teaching his magic to Lu Li. The stronger his children became, the happier he was. It was just that Lu Li was too young and his understanding of magic was insufficient.
It was like a baby holding a knife; if not careful, they might even hurt themselves. Lu Li was obviously beyond just holding a knife.
Makarov took out a magic book and said: "If you want to learn magic, you don't need to go around bothering guild members. The guild library has all kinds of magic books that you can read on your own. This is *A Detailed Explanation of Magic Power*. It contains knowledge that all Mages learning magic must study. Magic power is the energy required to cast magic; it is the foundation of casting magic. Your talent is very high; you can even fly before you learn to walk. But magic is not child's play, nor is it a rigid formula where one plus one equals two. Only by truly understanding magic can you truly master it. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Master. Thank you for your guidance. I will study the basics of magic properly."
Lu Li excitedly took the magic book from Makarov's hand. He had been so absorbed in learning magic just now that he had forgotten about magic books.
He remembered that the Fairy Tail guild had a vast collection of magic books. This was an incredibly precious wealth, allowing him to learn even more magic.
"Also, when practicing magic in the future, don't do it inside the guild. Go behind the guild; there's a lake there. It's enough for you to practice all your magic."
Makarov pointed to the large hole in the ceiling above his head. Lu Li instantly felt embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Master. I'll fix it."
Makarov waved his hand and said: "No need this time. After all, you didn't do it on purpose. But only this once; next time, you will be punished."
"I understand. Thank you, Master."
Lu Li ran happily towards the back of the guild. Having just learned magic, he wanted to experiment and practice everything one by one.
A look of sadness appeared in Makarov's eyes as he recalled the tragic state of Lu Li's village when he found him: "Sigh! What a strong child! to have encountered such misfortune yet still face life so optimistically and positively."
