Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 32: Claiming the Mission Reward

Gerald was only a year older than Moen and was still a teenager, so it was hard for him to think that much.

Driven by his conscience, he resolutely left his hometown and came to the world of Esland, hoping to prevent "Anima" from taking effect as much as possible.

His power was far too weak to change Edolas, nor could he change the decision made by his father, the king, nor could he change the will of "God".

This is one of the few things he can do now. He just wants to do his part to minimize the losses to Eslandon and to soothe his conscience.

But the appearance of Moen and Makarov opened up new ideas and a new door for him.

Gerald couldn't help but reflect that perhaps he had been too fixated on the details.

The magic "Anima" harms the entire world of Esland, and the powerful beings of this world certainly won't be happy about it.

He alone cannot stop his father, nor can he defy "God," but what if the powerful beings of the world of Asland are added to the mix? Could things take a turn for the better?

"So, can you do it? Send us all to another world?"

As Moen spoke, he waved his hand in front of Gerald, who was in a daze.

Gerald snapped out of his daze, then shook his head and said with difficulty:

"Not now, I can't do it."

"But I can do more research, and I'm sure I can do it in the future!"

Seeing the obvious disappointment on Moen and Makarov's faces, Gerald quickly added another sentence.

There was no other way; he had never thought of doing such a thing before, so naturally he wouldn't research it. Traveling through worlds was not a simple matter, and he dared not speak carelessly.

After Gerald said that, both Moen and Makarov expressed their understanding.

It is indeed a bit excessive to expect Gerald to know everything.

"Join us, Jellal, join Fairy Tail, make Fairy Tail your home in this world, just like Granny Poryusica did. You'll love it here."

After figuring out the whole story and devising a rough countermeasure plan, Moen helped Geral walk while extending an invitation to join the group.

Makarov watched from the sidelines without intervening; in fact, he would have spoken up himself if Moen hadn't invited him.

Geral is very much to Makarov's liking. This child, who is willing to risk his life to stop "Anima" for others, is obviously very loyal and righteous.

A child like this is absolutely suitable to join "Fairy Tail," firstly because of his outstanding moral character.

"Can...I do it?"

Gerald hesitated when faced with Moen's invitation. After all, he was not from this world, and might even just be a passerby.

Most importantly, he has to keep chasing after the aura of "Anima" everywhere, and he can't stay in the guild all the time.

"Why not? Fairy Tail is free and won't restrict you. You can still do your own thing."

Moen explained with a smile that after joining Fairy Tail, one doesn't need to stay in the guild all the time. Look at Gildarts, he's never home, and coming back once a year is considered frequent, but that doesn't diminish everyone's respect for him.

Moreover, stopping "Anima" is a truly important matter, and "Fairy Tail" certainly won't restrict Jellal's actions. In fact, it will provide him with all sorts of conveniences.

"But... Moen, I don't have any magic power, so I can't really be considered a mage. Can I still join the Mage Guild?"

After hearing what Moen said, Gerald was somewhat tempted, but he didn't agree immediately, as he still had many worries in his heart.

The Edolas have no magic power, no source of magic power, and cannot generate magic power; they can only cast spells using magical items.

At most, this would only qualify someone as a user of magical items, not a true mage; there is a fundamental difference between the two.

"Jeral, who told you that you can't join a guild if you don't have magic power or know how to use magic?"

Moen shook his head, denying Gerald's statement.

"A successful guild isn't united by magic or spells; what truly binds everyone together is their partnership! It's the friendship and bonds between them!"

Moen looked at Jellal and explained the guild's philosophy of "Fairy Tail": although they were a mage guild, they were definitely not just a mage guild!

"..."

Jellal looked at Moen, and was deeply moved by the confidence and pride in being a member of Fairy Tail that emanated from Moen's eyes.

"I'm willing to join."

Gerald spoke up, interrupting Moen, who was about to continue introducing the guild to him.

There's no need for further introduction; he was already moved, moved by Moen's words, by Moen's confidence and pride.

Who says you can't join a guild if you don't have magic or know how to use magic?

Because we are all partners, that's why we have a guild.

Guilds didn't come into existence because everyone has magic or can use magic.

For Gerald, this is exactly what he wants; this is the kind of guild he truly wants to join!

"Okay! From now on, we're family!"

When Gerald agreed, Moen beamed with joy. He patted Gerald on the shoulder, looking like they were best buddies, but poor Gerald was left wincing in pain from the pat.

Moen was so excited because the Saint Seiya System had reacted, and it was a reaction that was beyond his expectations.

[Ding! A reward is available. Would you like to claim it now?]

Upon seeing this prompt, Moen quickly pulled up the quest titled "Guilds are where companions gather!"

Task Progress:

Invite Mr. Gang to join (Completed)

Inviting Wendy Mabel to join (incomplete)

mission rewards:

Invite one person to join, and you'll receive a random Bronze Saint Cloth as a reward (which can be claimed).

Invite both of them to join, and you'll receive the "Saint Cloth Repair Manual" as a reward.

Sure enough, the mission progress had changed. Jellal was clearly not lying to him; he genuinely wanted to join Fairy Tail.

'The rewards can be settled separately!'

This surprising discovery made Moen very happy.

In a task with multiple sub-tasks and rewards, getting stuck on a particularly difficult task can be incredibly frustrating. This system, which allows for phased settlement and rewards, completely avoids this situation.

'receive!'

Moen didn't hesitate; he wanted to get the reward first. Anyway, the reward would go directly into the system space and wouldn't suddenly appear, so Gerald and Grandpa Makarov wouldn't notice.
