The two children in blonde and other a redhead, arrived at a two storey house. They ran the entire way back.Behind them is the diminitive old man Makarov who just laughed at their behaviour and relished in these little joy.
Inside the house were both Claire and Ardent. Claire hasn"t changed much in the past five years but had a baby b.u.mp showing she was once again pregnant.
Seeing them arrive, Claire asked," Did you have a good time training together?"
Daven smiled brightly and revealed his success of task completion to his parents. " Of course, mom, dad. I had completed the task old man gave me and now i can learn magic."
This news surprised them and Ardent bent down to Daven level and asked, " Is it really true. You managed to run five laps of that clearing without any rest or stopping to take a breather."
" Of course. Who do you think I am. I am way too awesome. " He said arrogantly.
Soon a small fist hit his head and the initiator of the attack told him," You could barely last two minutes against me and say that you are awesome.
Then why am I then? Super awesome? It seems you have to bow down Everytime whenever you have to greet me, since I am better than you." Laxus gloated at him.
Daven didn"t take it kindly and would have jumped at Laxus had it not been for his father stopping him by swooping him in the air.
" Now now. No fighting. Since you are here, then when id Master Makarov?"Ardent asked as he didn"t see their caretajer with them.
An old voice cane from the doorstep," It was not my fault that i was not with them. These two brats have too mych energy to stay here one place.
They ran back all the way and left me behind. These brats are becoming more and more naughty. They don"t even listen to me anymore." Makarov complained about his two grandson, one direct grandson and another who regards as his own grandson.
Daven wasn"t willing to accept defeat and grumbled," It isn"t my fault thst you are too slow. You promised me that you will teach me magic but you walk as slow as a slug and waste my time in which I could train and become stronger than Laxus."
Since Laxus felt he was challenged here, he said," Even of you train for humdred years I will be the stronger one. After all since you train why would I delay my training?"
Before their fight could escalate greater than simple arguing and teasing, Claire interrupted them and said," Come on, Lunch is ready. Or are you going to waste the food i cook for you?" She said all this with a glint in her eyes.
All the males saw this, and within few seconds they washed their hamds and sat on the dinning table awaiting food to arrive.
Their actioms brought a soft smile on Claire"s face.
" Are you not going to help me bring food, dear?"Claire said sweetly.
Ardent had escaped into the kitchen and was bringing food and water for everyone.
The small family of five ( Makarov regard Claire as his adopted daughter so Laxus is her nephew) ate happily with small talks.
Daven wanted to finish eating soon but a small glare made sure that he behaves himself.
After lunch, they deposited the place on wash basin and the whole family sat on the couch and sofa in the drawing room.
" So ate you prepared to begin your journey towards the wirld of Magic,Daven Donovan?" Makarov asked seriously
Makarov serious look didn"t dampen the enthusiasm of Daven and he answered with as much determination as he could muster, " Yes I am sure."
" Before starting, tell me Daven What do you mean by Magic?"Makarov asked.
This question brought a smile to on Claire face as she remembered how the same old man taught her magic years ago.
" Magic is the ability to perform various powerful spells by absorbing the etherano present in the air of Earthland. " He said what he felt magic really was.
" Am I correct?" He asked doubt full about the answer.
" You are correct , at least theoritically.
But Magic is actual our emotions and feelings which are guided through various spells and the etherano is just a medium to express the inner heart of a mage." He tried to stress the importance of emotions in casting magic spells.
Although you don"t understand it now, you will know what I mean in the future.
" Before teaching you magic, you must be able to sense the etherano in your body and then master and attach the array I teach you to your body through the etherano.
It is a difficult process and takes toll on ones mental strength. Both the mental and physical strength are proportion to the strength of a mage." He explained.
But he wasn"t able to understand it completely. Although Daven was a reincarnator he wasn"t a magic master in the last life. Most of the memory of the last life is vague but he knows through those memory where Daven was really at.
Being a transmigrator his mental or spiritual strength is way higher than most people and his regular training for past six months made sure he was as strong as a twelve year old boy physically.
So it will not be difficult for Daven.
After saying these, he handed a book to Daven," Introduction to Magics".
" This book mentions the array as well as the some important things you should remember and be cautious about while using magic.
The array is a basic one which modifies and changes to accomodate the various magic the mage learns in his life.
This array has relation with physical and spiritual strength and hence grow as these two increases with age."
" So I can begin the array inlay now?" Daven asked enthusiastic about the prospect of learning magic.
" No, before you do that you must first completely read the book and understand the process.
And only after you have been given the green signal by your parents, you can begin the process under their guidance." Makarov said severely.
This would delay his learning magic process and he was dejected and asked," Why?"
" You don"t even know this. Under an adult guidance the whole process is easy. If there is any problem then the entire process has to start from the very beginning.
Each inlay process burns up the spiritual strength and it takes time to recharge it. Some take a week and others a couple month to complete the inlay process.
This is related to the future of a mage and hence one doesn"t dare to gamble with this. If you want to and are willing to always lose again St me, then you don"t have to do this." Laxus teased him at the end.
" Just you wait, I will master it within a week and then learn the magic and become even more powerful mage than you." Daven fired at Laxus.
The adults looked at the play between two best friends with a smile.
Makarov then told Daven," When you learn this, then you came come to the Fairy Tail guild. I will teach you magic there "
" Ok" Daven wanted to argue but the looks from his parents stopped his protest.
" Don"t worry , Daven. I will bring you to Fairy Tail in Magnolia." Ardent a.s.sured him.
This did the trick and he ran to his room to start his study.
