Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 60: Diamond Dust Fist!

"Huh? Let's go then!"

Erza was not intimidated by Mirajane's challenge; she was quite eager to see the power of that demon Mirajane.

Everyone says Mirajane is amazing, that she's a genius at using "receiving magic" and a potential S-rank mage in the guild. Erza naturally wants to test her skills against this girl her age.

It's not that Erza is belligerent, but as the previous female magical genius in the guild, and also the one who awakened magic on her own, she is naturally compared to Erza. The two have too many similarities, even their state when they first joined the guild was similar.

"Buzz!"

Mirajane seemed to have been enduring a lot these past few days. Her magic was surging, her demonic arm was glowing, and her entire body was stained with dark purple magic.

"Erza! I'm going to beat you up today! So you'll be watching me even when you go to the bathroom!"

Mirajane raised the demonic arm and spoke through gritted teeth.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Moen couldn't help but gasp. Mirajane had uttered something remarkable, which perfectly explained why she was so furious.

Looking at Erza, who stood calmly to the side, Moen had to admit that this did indeed seem to be something Erza was capable of doing.

Erza... is too honest...

Moen sighed inwardly. He seemed to be partly to blame for this. He knew that Erza was the kind of person who was so meticulous in her work that she might not be able to control herself properly, so he should have reminded her beforehand.

"Moen made me do it."

Erza answered calmly, not feeling there was anything wrong with what she had done. She had simply faithfully carried out the task Moen had given her, and the final result proved that she had done it very well.

"etc!"

Erza's calm words startled both Moen and Mirajane, prompting Moen to quickly explain.

"Mira, I only asked Erza to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't leave quietly. I didn't say anything else!"

Moen explained earnestly that Erza's words were too ambiguous, making it sound as if he was asking Erza to watch Mirajane even when she went to the toilet. Does that make sense?

"..."

Mirajane's face was slightly flushed, and she remained silent.

Erza was a little surprised. What was Moen explaining? And how was his explanation different from what she had said?

"Are we still going to fight?"

Erza asked, eager to try.

"Of course we have to fight!"

Mirajane agreed, composed herself, and thought, "She was the one who initiated this, so how can I just slink away like this?"

"Sister Mira, don't fight..."

Lisanna, standing behind Mirajane, reached out and tugged at her clothes, whispering words of advice, while Elfman looked worried.

It's great that Mira has finally returned to normal, but this also brings new troubles, as Mira is always getting into fights with others.

"Let's call it a day, Mira. You've only just begun to receive magical power. It's not too late to compete with Erza after you've mastered it. Erza is very powerful, and you don't want to lose to her because you're not proficient enough in magic, do you?"

At the crucial moment, it was up to Moen to step in. He immediately grasped Mirajane's thoughts and made her give up the idea of ​​fighting. She didn't want to lose to Erza so easily.

"Moen is right, so even if I win, it won't mean anything."

Erza nodded in agreement with Moen's words, realizing that even if she won, it would be an unfair victory.

"You're...you're right. Let's settle this later, but don't assume you're guaranteed to win!"

Mirajane took the opportunity to back down, and didn't insist on sticking to her guns, though she was still a little stubborn. In fact, she knew in her heart that although her actions were not quite appropriate, Erza was doing it for her own good.

But she just wanted to compete with Erza, partly to vent her anger, and partly because she was always being compared to Erza. Although she never spoke in the guild, she could always hear what the other people in the guild were saying.

"Buzz!"

Mirajane's magic dissipated, and then something astonishing happened: her demonic arm also disappeared.

"What...what's going on?"

Mirajane looked on in surprise. She raised her hand to look at it, and it had indeed returned to normal. The demonic arm had completely disappeared!

Moreover, she didn't truly disappear. With a thought, magic enveloped her entire body once more, and the demon's power responded to her.

"Buzz!"

Mirajane's body has changed. This time, it's not just one arm that has changed, but her whole body has changed!

"Full Body Absorption - The Soul of Satan!"

Surging purple magic enveloped Mirajane's body, her hair stood up in a fluffiness, a pair of black demon wings unfolded behind her, a large tail swayed behind her, and her hands transformed into demon claws covered in scales.

Mirajane's clothes also changed, becoming very revealing. However, the girl was thin and frail, like a tomboy, so no matter how revealing the clothes were, you couldn't tell anything about her.

"As expected, they are very strong..."

Looking at Mirajane, who was "fully receiving" the power, Erza's expression turned serious. She now believed that Mirajane was indeed very powerful!

"This...so this is the power of the demon..."

Mirajane looked at her body and felt the powerful force; it was actually the first time she had ever truly entered this state.

"Magic originates from the power of the mind. You previously hated and rejected magic, so naturally you couldn't control your power. You couldn't even retract that demonic arm. Now that you've accepted it, it will naturally be fully handed over to you for control."

Seeing Mirajane's puzzled expression, Moen explained to her, while also marveling at how freakish it was that those who awakened magic were so naturally gifted, needing no instruction whatsoever. They were truly ahead of the game from the very beginning.

"So that's how it is..."

Mirajane suddenly realized that she had accepted the use of the demon's power to protect her family, and the magic accepted her as a result. Now, she could finally truly control this power.

[Ding! The quest "Mira Jane's Heart Knot" has been completed.]

Mission progress: Mirajane accepts her power (Completed)

Do you want to claim the task reward?

Moen glanced at the system pop-up and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered if the system had malfunctioned, as it was taking so long to pop up the notification, which had made him worry the whole time.

After mentally complaining, Moen decisively chose to claim the mission reward.

[Congratulations! The skill Diamond Star Fist has been unlocked!]

As a pop-up window appeared, a flood of skill-related knowledge rushed into Moen's mind, and at that moment he had only one thought in mind.

'The Bronze Saints' skill pool is truly overpowered!'
