Internet Magic in Fairy Tail (Re-upload)

The Black Dragon was sent to the future.

Although this wasn't intentional, it inadvertently saved the world.

"Sent to the future… Does that mean there will be two Black Dragons in the future?" Igneel sharply caught the crucial point.

Mavis, curious, pressed further. "How far into the future?"

Nate thought for a moment before explaining, "I'm not exactly sure what kind of future it is. During the transmission, Acnologia struggled and devoured a portion of the space-time energy, causing the coordinates to shift."

For those in the present, the past is fixed, but the future is uncertain. The future may have countless variations. In one possible timeline, there might indeed be two Black Dragons.

Dealing with time-based powers was always tricky, and even Nate couldn't guarantee the exact outcome. It was akin to the Eclipse Gate, another time-based magic. In the original storyline, merely opening or not opening the gate had led to three distinct futures.

"Perhaps the two Black Dragons will end up fighting each other, and one will destroy the other," Nate speculated. "For now, let's focus on dispelling the Fairy Sphere."

Nate and Mavis began working together to undo the super-magic known as the Fairy Sphere.

Since some guild members were not in Magnolia that night, Nate left an explanation in the "Fairy Tail Bonds of Love" chat group.

Sigma Male: "That's the gist of it. Everyone, no need to worry."

Gildarts: "The Black Dragon attacked the guild? Glad everyone's okay."

Sigma Male: "Oh? Gildarts, where have you been?"

Gildarts: "Wandering the world. 👍"

Gildarts: "I'll leave Cana in your care for now, Nate."

Does he know something? Nate felt a twinge of suspicion.

…

The next day, the Fourth Custody Enforcement Unit of the Magic Council arrived.

Nate stepped out to explain the situation. The team leader was a bespectacled man named Lahar, who had an air of quiet refinement.

When he heard that Nate had repelled the Black Dragon, Lahar was utterly stunned. What shocked him even more was seeing a living dragon resting outside the Fairy Sphere.

Nate smiled. "That's the Fire Dragon King, Igneel. He's friendly to humans, unlike the Black Dragon. You don't need to worry."

Igneel, lying on the ground and dozing, opened one eye at the introduction, glared at Lahar briefly, then closed it again.

Lahar, shaken by that glance, quickly composed himself and said nervously, "Thanks to you, Nate-san, the Council almost resorted to deploying Etherion last night."

"Is that so?" Nate mused. Deploying Etherion wouldn't have killed the Black Dragon—it might have just fed him more magic energy.

Lahar then looked up at the massive glowing orb encompassing the city. "And that… is?"

"The Fairy Sphere. It's protecting the city. We're currently working on dispelling it."

"Is there any way we can help?"

"Appreciate the offer, but no. This is beyond what you can assist with. Go back and report to your superiors that the Black Dragon is no longer a threat for the time being."

Lahar nodded solemnly. After thanking Nate again, he and his team departed.

…

Time flew by, and soon a week had passed. On February 7, X785, the Pokémon Championship Tournament officially began.

Nate, preoccupied with dismantling the Fairy Sphere, didn't participate. The members of Fairy Tail were absent as well.

When Princess Hisui sent a private message asking about the situation, Nate only vaguely mentioned that something had happened in Magnolia. As for the Black Dragon incident, he decided to keep it under wraps for now.

The Magic Council also chose to suppress the news to avoid causing widespread panic in the magic community. However, the fact that an entire city had been sealed couldn't be entirely concealed.

News outlets spun the story as: "Fairy Tail experimenting with some kind of magic, which led to the city being sealed."

On the Magic Net Forums, the incident became a hot topic. Yet, because it involved Fairy Tail, the responses were oddly unsurprising:

"Of course, it's Fairy Tail."

"If it's them, this isn't surprising at all."

Nate paid little attention to these minor details. Instead, he focused entirely on working with Mavis to carefully dismantle the Fairy Sphere. Thanks to the First Master's guidance and the assistance of Six Eyes, the work progressed smoothly.

…

Two Weeks Later

After another week, the process was nearly complete.

Mavis remarked cheerfully, "It's almost done, Fourth Master! Leave the rest to me. I'll finish unraveling the magic in a few more days."

Nate, exhausted from nearly half a month of continuous work, gladly stepped back. Mavis might be able to endure due to her ghostly nature, but Nate was human, and the mental fatigue was catching up.

"All right, I'll head to the capital and check things out. By now, the champion might already have been decided, and I have to attend the award ceremony."

After saying goodbye to Mavis, Nate used Flying Thunder God to teleport directly to the capital. With the Fire Dragon King watching over Magnolia, there were no safety concerns.

…

Crocus, the Capital

At his mansion, Nate appeared in the front yard. Though he couldn't sense Irene's presence, he noticed someone else standing under a tree.

"Hmm? Were you waiting for me?"

It was Azuma, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, emerging from the tree trunk with three books in his hands.

"Nate, these are from Master Hades. He asked me to deliver them to you."

The books were related to Satellite Magic, consisting of three volumes:

Principles of Satellite Magic

Foundations of Satellite Magic

Large-Scale Magic: Satellite Magic

"Please thank the Second Master for me," Nate said with a smile. "Hades is a man of his word."

Azuma nodded and began to merge back into the tree trunk, leaving a parting remark: "The delivery is complete. Farewell."

For a moment, Nate considered inviting him to stay for dinner but thought better of it. Azuma might actually take the offer seriously.

After storing the books in his Requip Space, Nate left the mansion and headed to a restaurant for dinner. While eating, he opened the Magic Net Live Broadcast to catch up on the tournament.

The competition had already reached the semifinals, with the champion to be decided the following day. The first semifinal featured Jenny Realight against Seilah—two female trainers facing off!

"She actually made it to the semifinals?" Nate remembered the wager. If Jenny failed to win the championship, she'd have to spend a whole day completely naked.

After finishing his meal, Nate made his way to the Domus Flau Arena. As expected, the semifinals had drawn a full house. Nate snuck into the back row of Section C.

Down in the arena, both contestants had sent out their ace Pokémon—fully leveled Dragonites.

"Who's going to win, huh?" Nate wondered, enjoying the match until he suddenly sensed a familiar presence.

His gaze shifted toward the audience and locked onto a cloaked figure seated a few rows ahead.

It was a woman. Despite being concealed by a cloak, her magic aura was unmistakable to Nate's Six Eyes.

It's Lucy.

But something felt off. Wasn't Lucy sealed inside the Fairy Sphere?

Could it be the alternate-dimension Lucy, the boss of her own world? Without his intervention, that Lucy shouldn't have been able to cross into this world.

Could it be… Lucy from the future?

Losing all interest in the match, Nate immediately made his way to the cloaked figure and tapped her on the shoulder.

The woman turned her head—and sure enough, it was Lucy's face. She looked shocked, but upon seeing Nate, quickly composed herself.

"Excuse me…" Lucy whispered cautiously. "Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

What kind of question was that? Did she not recognize her own boyfriend?
