Re: Love & Magic

“How do you know?” Zevien was surprised.

“Well, I have joined his fairy realm since he started to recruit recently. All of us here have joined his fairy realm,” Ravana said.

“Tsk, couldn’t he at least tell me anything? We have a mental connection of sort due to the contract,” Zevien clicked his tongue, but he was also worried.

“Exactly,” Ravana nodded, “he can’t contact you because his soul was injured, that’s why I am relaying the message to you. But no need to worry, it’s just a matter of a few months before Lord Tartagust can recover to his prime condition.”

“Who is this Lord Tartagust?” Ray asked with confusion as he looked at Cargil.

Suddenly, a chubby frog appeared on Cargil’s shoulder and grinned, “let’s just say that Lord Tartagust can kill you with his fart.”

“Uhh…,” Ray was stumped.

“Don’t mind him,” Cargil shook his head before nodding, “however, it is true. Zevien has a five-year contract with that Lord rank fairy spirit.”

“Back to the main topic, it seems that we won’t be able to find the people behind this disaster anytime soon,” Bukkan said as a frown crept on his face. “We have to spread knowledge about this crystal everywhere. Even to other countries.”

“We also have to increase our security,” Nike said as she looked at the glass container with the crystal in it, “we have to study this crystal.”

“Leave it to me,” Touma said with a somber expression while his eyes held intense curiosity. “Biombee and I will find everything about this crystal and research it to its atoms.”

“Bee bee, that’s right!” Biombee appeared and hovered around the glass container in its miniature form.

“Ahem, senior Cargil. What are you going to report to others about your endeavor in the Astral Land?” Ray asked with doubt. “Will you say that you succeeded in getting the Fairy Summoning Spell or not?”

“What is your plan?” Cargil asked as he looked at Zevien.

Raven and others also looked at Zevien since it was up to him on how to go about this.

Zevien took a deep breath as he had already thought thoroughly about this. “I want maximum possible contribution and support in exchange for giving away this magic spell’s knowledge. Those who can learn the spell concept from the spell formation will be able to successfully use this spell to summon a random fairy correlating to their strength.”

“What caused you to make this decision?” Nike asked with a keen smile.

“Because I want myself and my companions to use fairy spirits freely without having to face danger from others’ greed,” Zevien said with a faint smile. “Moreover, this is a random fairy summoning spell, so the rules and restrictions of the Fairy Spirit Magic Labyrinth apply even strictly to people who summon fairies through this spell.”

“That, we know,” Cargil nodded, “we also learned more about fairy summoning spells during our trip this time. Yours is the most basic one since you haven’t awakened the Fairy Spirit labyrinth.”

“Yep. Tarto told me this a month ago,” Zevien nodded, “if you have bad intentions towards the fairy you summoned and made a contract with it, the contract will warn the fairy, so the human who was in the contract can receive severe punishments. The punishments include the destruction of magic eidos body.

“That applies in all fairy summoning spells, but the spell I have is more strict as one can’t form a contract with a second fairy summoned from this spell after your first fairy dies by any chance,” Zevien said.

“Indeed,” Raven nodded as she rubbed Ravana’s head, “you also can’t treat your summoned fairy badly or push it to danger out of selfish intentions. One should treat one’s fairy spirit as a lifelong partner.”

“Anyway, is your decision final? And how do you want to go about it? Tell me if you have any plan,” Cargil asked as he looked at Zevien.

“I want it to be publicized,” Zevien dropped a bomb, causing everyone to be surprised.

“Hmm? Do you mean all magicians can have their own fairy spirits? Then won’t people from other countries get their hands on the spell? Also, you asked for maximum contribution and support from our government but if you want to publicize it, then I don’t think you can ask for such demand,” Bukkan said.

“Indeed. As for your companions having it, we can say that we took some people and let them summon their fairies, and we also included some 4th national magic academy’s students,” Ray nodded.

“No,” Zevien shook his head before smiling,” but I have an idea on how to make this spell publicized while still retaining its secrecy.”

“Which is?” Merax asked curiously.

“Fairy Summoning Center,” Zevien said as he activated his Digi-watch and showed them some holograms. He had already planned to make this spell public while still getting the benefits so that he, Vernisia, and the others can use their fairy spirits freely without attracting attention and facing danger because of that in the future.

“As you can see, the plan is to open Fairy Summoning centers and have one or two people from the government who have learned the summoning spell appointed in those centers. Magicians can go there and let a summoner summon a fairy so they can make the contract the same way I helped you all do it. This way, the summoners who have learned the spell will still be part of the government and you can put heavy security in each fairy summoning center. I suggest that the government open one Fairy Summoning center in each major city,” Zevien concluded with a smile.

Everyone was surprised at the plan and also found it doable.

“At first, I was thinking about doing this myself, but then I felt that it was a bad idea,” Zevien wryly shook his head, “I would attract too much attention, and it would also put everyone around me in danger. Also, I wouldn’t be able to find trustworthy magicians to appoint in the fairy summoning centers.”

“Haha, don’t think too much like that. You wouldn’t have been allowed to do that in the first place,” Blondina chuckled.

“Eh, yes. That was one of the reasons as well,” Zevien nodded with a wry smile.
