The Laziest System: Sign-Up System

"Alright, now control the feeling you have inside of you. Right. Just like that. Let it flow around your body. Force it. Ice is hard to control, not because it is power but rather because it is stubborn and does not want to come out. You need to be firm and force them out."

I can see Asia follow the instructions Makarov gives her, and I look at her proudly when I see she manages to control more cold mana to create a more icy mist around her.

"You are doing great! Continue this exercise, and you will become stronger."

"Un! Thank you, Guild Master."

Makarov gives her a small smile and says,

"It is not a problem, dear. Continue to train, okay?"

"En!"

Ha! The horny guild master never once made a move to Asia. In his own words, he says that Asia is too pure of this world, and he does not want to corrupt her. He will joke around with Yasaka but not go too far and get flirty with her.

"Thank you for teaching Asia, Master."

Makarov waves his hand and says.

"Don't worry about it. It is not much. I only teach her the basics, and it depends on her if she can expand her magic."

"Even then, thank you for teaching her."

"Not a problem. What kind of father am I if I cannot teach magic to my children? I also enjoy teaching her. She is a great student to have. She is a hard-working person and absorbs all my teaching as if she were a sponge absorbing water."

"Well, she has an affinity with water."

"Hah! That is so true. Anyway, where is your wife, Ryan?"

"Hmmm? She decides to train Kunou, and they must do it in the forest."

"Huh? Isn't their magic related to fire? They should go to the volcano, no?"

"Ah, it is a different kind of magic. We call this Senjutsu or Sage Technique. It is related to nature. Here, take a look."

I gather Natural Energy around my right hand and let Makarov examine it. This world is not like ours. Nature in this world is not as tainted as it is in the DxD world. It did not need anyone to purify the natural energy as it could do it naturally. Nature is not desperate enough for my help to purify itself.

Because of this reason, I need to continue to gather Natural Energy so I can enter Sage Mode at the moment's notice.

"Hmmm… Interesting. You use nature mana to enchant your body. However, unlike Reinforcement Magic, it permanently boosts your physical strength even though it is only slightly."

"You notice that deep even though you only see it once and in a short amount of time, huh?"

Makarov chuckles and says.

"I don't want to say this, but," He gets closer and whispers, "I am old, you know?"

I laugh at his behavior and see him grin at me.

"Because of that, I have years of experience in many kinds of magic. It also helps that I have a friend who dabbles in this kind of magic."

Wait. I remember now. Makarov has a friend who looks like a tree, and he uses tree magic, right? That must be the person he is talking about.

"I see. Can I meet this person? I wonder if he can teach me something about Nature Magic. While I can use it to enchant my body and attack, I cannot mold it to create an attack."

"You cannot mold it into an attack, but you can enchant your other attack by using your Nature Magic, huh? That means your Nature Magic is Holder Magic while your other magic is Caster Magic. I see."

I remember this. Holder Magic is a type of magic that needs an external source to use it. It can be magic, magic items, or even regular items. It is the type of magic that cannot get out of your body itself and need something to manifest into reality. As for Caster Magic, it is your regular magic that can manifest itself without the need for outside help.

"You can say that. It did not want to get out of my body. This type of magic can be used to create an attack, but for me, it did not want to come out."

"Ah, that means something is wrong with your body, or this type of magic clashes with your other magic. It is something that I cannot help you with. I will try to ask my friend if he can give you a solution."

"Thank you, master."

"Don't think about it, Ryan. Like I said, as a father, it is my duty to help his son."

"Thank you nonetheless."

He nods and says.

"Anyway, do you want to join the tournament? I can make sure you join."

"I don't think I will join, master."

"Oh? Can I ask why?"

I look at him for a few seconds before saying.

"Master, what will you do when you see a possible future?"

"Huh? I will protect my loved one, of course."

"Then I am doing the same."

At that word, he looked at me with a serious expression and said,

"Is it involving Fairy Tail?"

"Yes."

"Tell me."

I nod and say.

"I have a vision that the capital will get attacked by Dragons."

"Dragons? Plural?"

"Yes. The vision is about a group of dragons attacking the capital. I don't know what their objective is, but I know that they get controlled by someone."

"Let's back up a bit. Tell me about your vision from the beginning."

"Right. I saw a group of shadow dragons attacking Crocus, and they were obeying one man. His reasoning? I don't know. However, I know that there will be a lot of casualties, and most of them are civilians. I can see Fairy Tail fight the dragons and their master and win the fight. However, there will be a lot of casualties."

He looks at me for a few seconds before saying.

"That is the most insane story I have heard in a while."

"Right? That is why I did not talk about it with my wife for the past few days."

"And I understand why. I trust you, but I don't think the people in Crocus will believe you."

He nods and says.

"What will you do?"

"I want to spare my energy for the fight and rescue mission. The same with Yasaka. We know that Fairy Tail can take care of the dragons, but we need someone to take care of the civilians."

Makarov nods in understanding and says.

"That is a great idea. Don't worry, we will help the others."

"Thank you for trusting me, master."

"Hahahaha! Don't worry about it."
