Chapter 287: The Heartfilia Family's "Heirloom"
Before Lucy's fantasy could become complete, she was interrupted by Kira's voice.
"That's impossible! Even I passed the assessment the year after I joined the guild. You've only been in the guild for half a year, and your strength is not as good as others. There's no way you'll be selected for the assessment!"
Lucy said angrily, "Don't say such things!"
"Why……"
She lay weakly on the bar, with a worried look on her face: "I actually know everything you said, what a pity! I also want to take the test!"
"If that's the case, then you shouldn't be sighing here now, but should be doing quests or practicing magic to become stronger! How can you do that at this age and at this time..."
"Alright! Alright!"
Seeing Lucy burying her head even lower, Mira interrupted Kira's pretense, patted Lucy on the head, and said comfortingly: "Lucy -san is also very good!"
The gentle voice and actions made Lucy burst into tears of gratitude: "Woo woo woo ~ Mira-san ~"
"Yoshi!" As if inspired, Lucy stood up suddenly, clenched her fists, and said, "In this case, I will go practice right now!"
"Wait a minute, Lucy!" Just as Lucy was about to turn around and leave, Kira suddenly called her.
Lucy turned around, looked at Kira in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kira didn't answer directly, but raised his hand to grab the air beside him: "Storage space!"
Suddenly, the surrounding magic particles began to fluctuate, the air seemed to be torn apart, and a black space the size of a head suddenly appeared in front of him .
Kira took out a card made of unknown material from the black space and said excitedly: "Take this and practice this move later! It's very powerful!"
Lucy took the card Kira handed over with curiosity and took a closer look.
This is a magic card with a magic circle as the base and stars as the pattern. The familiar pattern and magic power filled her heart with doubts.
"What is this? I'm not Kana, I don't need cards!"
Although she said so, Lucy did not refuse, because she knew that the things Kira took out were not ordinary. The previous times they were all Star Keys, and this time the card must have his reasons.
This was not the first time Kira had given her something. Although it was always expensive, it was worth it! And Kira had never asked for the money back, which made him an ideal creditor.
Kira chuckled, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "This is a magic that is exclusive to the Star Spirit Mage, or in other words, super magic! Its name is...'Star Map History'!"
In the original plot, Lucy learned this move by obtaining knowledge from the ancient text infused by Xiang in the "Six Demon Generals" chapter, but now because there is no such battle, Lucy lacks this big move, so Kira specially gave it to her.
"Star Chart History..."
Lucy muttered to herself, feeling that the name seemed familiar. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her face changed suddenly. "Wait a minute, you said super magic?! How did you get this? Is this kind of magic just given to me?"
In fact, several years ago, after Kira obtained the Protoss Key, he studied Protoss magic for a period of time.
At that time, he traded this magic from Xiang, and wanted to see if he could learn it. But after learning half of it, he found that his compatibility with magic was lower than he thought, and even worse than the "Three Fairy Super Magics" he had already obtained, so he decided to give up.
Finally, he recorded the magic on the cards.
"Yes! If you can learn this move and open two doors at the same time, becoming an S-class wizard will be no problem."
That may not be the case, but after Kira said that, Lucy really couldn't let it go.
"Well...how much is it?"
Lucy already knew Kira's character, and thought to herself: "This thing must be expensive, at least the price of one... no... two Star Spirit Keys!"
Unexpectedly, Kira waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Talking about money hurts our feelings!"
Lucy's eyes sparkled and her breathing quickened: "Oh?! Could it be..."
"Let's talk about J! Just 10 million J!"
"Sure enough! I knew it would be like this! What on earth was I expecting?"
Looking at Lucy's stiff expression, Kira felt happy: "How is it? Is this price suitable?"
"Whatever! I may never be able to finish it in my lifetime anyway!" Lucy waved her hands, seeming to have given up completely.
But Kira was obviously one step ahead of her. He had expected her to do this, so he said with a sly smile, "It's okay! Even if you can't pay it back, you still have your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The 'debt' may become a family heirloom for your Heartfilia family in the future!"
Lucy: “…”
"Look, in this way, the Heartfilia family and my Hopelet family will be companions like us for generations to come, right? How great!"
"No! Not at all! This isn't a partnership! It's just a simple debt relationship, right?!"
Kira ignored him and said, "In that case, Lucy, you must work hard to pay back the debt in the future! After all, you don't want your children to worry about debt and rent like you do, right?"
Lucy's breathing stagnated, and tears suddenly streamed down her face: "Devil...you are simply a devil...Milasan..."
Mira stopped Kira's words with a teasing look in her eyes and said to Lucy: "Don't be sad, Lucy-san, it won't happen!"
Her embrace was warm and soft, and Lucy obviously felt comforted.
Then, Mira leaned close to Lucy's ear, chuckled and whispered, "With Kira's personality, I don't know when he will be able to get married and have children!"
Lucy chuckled, and her mood improved immediately. At the same time, she secretly complained in her heart: "I really can't believe that Mira-san is such a sinister person..."
“That’s true…”
"So, Lucy-san!" At this point, Mira suddenly looked at Lucy with a gossipy look on her face, "How far have you and Natsu progressed now?"
"Uh..." Lucy was embarrassed again. She suddenly remembered that Mira was the person who liked to support couples the most in the guild. "No... No... I'm going to practice first..."
As she said this, she ran away in a panic. Halfway through her run, she suddenly muttered, "Strange... I seem to have forgotten something very important. What is it? Forget it! Never mind!"
After her figure disappeared in the guild tavern, Kira said slowly: "Lucy...has she completely forgotten about Cana?"
Mira took over the conversation: "How is it? Do you think she can make it this year?"
"Who knows!" Kira stretched his body and complained, "It's been so many years, and she's still not happy with me."
"After all, failing four times in a row must have been a huge blow to her!"
"Four times?" Kira counted carefully on his fingers, "Erza won in X780, you won in X781, and Mistgang won in X782. Hmm... Facing the three of you, it's reasonable for her to lose!"
"Even so, after so many years of hard work, I still haven't succeeded. It's really a blow to my confidence!"
As the most gentle and caring sister in the guild, every word Mira says is full of care for her companions.
Kira sighed helplessly, and then said, "There's nothing we can do about it! Although this is cruel, magicians are about talent after all!"
Mira thought for a moment and said, “Kana’s talent… shouldn’t be low, right?”
"Of course! But this talent is destined to be limited in terms of card magic! That's why I asked her to try to transform into a summoning wizard..."
"Are those Warcraft cards from the last Guild Tournament?"
Back then, Kana became famous with those cards, and her quarter-final match with Gray was also very exciting, which amazed countless spectators.
After that, Magnolia launched a long-lasting card craze, which has not stopped yet.
"Yeah! Maybe that can help her go further!"
