Let's sleep here tonight.

I wanna get Yuri and Precht to a doctor fast, but...

I'm fine.

It seems like a long way to the next town.

I'll draw some water.

Mavis...

I was careless.

Our enemies are wizards.

One guild...

I should have realized they were powerful opponents.

But instead...

...because of my error in judgment...

If I had more power...

The One Who Teaches Magic

I... I'm sorry!

I didn't know anyone else was here!

Leave this forest.

Sorry.

Force of habit.

I'm the one who will leave.

Um...

What is this?

Everything that gets close to me...

...dies.

You're...

You mustn't come near me.

Ankhseram Black Magic...

I've only read about it in books,

but it's a type of ancient curse, isn't it?

It's also called the "Curse of Contradictions."

The more one respects the lives of living things,

the more death energy is released.

On the other hand,

if one doesn't have respect for the lives of living things,

death energy won't be released.

I'm sorry.

It just... came out...

That's all right.

You're quite knowledgeable.

It's the first time someone has correctly identified my curse.

That being said, I avoid meeting people to the best of my ability.

Have you been here long?

No. I wander around from place to place.

Because of this curse, I can't have physical contact with anyone.

Not even animals.

Any living creature dies at my touch.

You don't need to be sad for me.

You're a kind girl.

Aren't you lonely?

I don't know.

It's been a long time, but I believe

I'm enjoying this, talking to you.

But at the same time...

...I'm battling with fear, the fear that my power will kill a little girl like you.

Even though I don't want to kill anyone...

I have to go.

I apologize for scaring you.

Don't.

You mustn't come near me!

And yet...

Why are so many animals gathered around me?

You can touch them without fear.

This is my magic.

I see...

You can't really touch them, though...

No. It's warm.

Thank you.

Perhaps it's fate that you and I encountered each other here.

I have a feeling you're an incredible wizard.

Please.

Please teach us magic.

There's an enemy that we have to fight.

Who's he?

We're supposed to be doing magic training,

so why do we have to meditate?

Anyway, this is important to start with, right?

Magic power is necessary to put magic into operation.

You're too far away!

He can't get too close to us.

Also, you have to materialize

the magic power that's inside of you and release it.

But we don't have any magic in our bodies!

But the fact is, there are a great number of wizards who possess magic in this world.

This is what it is.

To wizards, magic power is the equivalent of life force.

So-called Ethernanos are the building blocks of magic power.

Ethernanos...

That's right.

They're in the air

and can be absorbed into the body.

Ethernanos that are thus absorbed become the person's magic power.

Meditation is the most effective means of magic absorption.

Did you know this?

I just read a little about it in books.

I have a question, Sensei!

What, are we in school now?

Some of us could never pass as students.

I understand that Ethernanos are the source of magic power.

So is it the more you take in,

the stronger the magic you can use?

With Ethernanos...

...the vessel determines the limit of each wizard's magic power,

so the amount you can take in varies.

But even if the magic power in one's body is exhausted after being used extensively,

the body will automatically absorb Ethernanos from the air

and after a while, the vessel will be full again.

In other words, magic power is something that can be replenished.

Wow!

But there's one more important thing.

Important thing?

To use magic,

it takes more than just transforming the magic power in your body.

There's something else that's indispensable.

That is...

...the strength of a wizard's feelings.

Strength of feelings?

Yes.

Unless you have strong feelings in your heart

and draw upon them, it won't be easy to employ any magic.

It's gotten late.

We'll stop here for this evening. We'll start practicing tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

That's what magic is?

Who is that guy?

Meditation is the most effective means

of Ethernanos absorption.

Are those...

...Ethernanos?!

This is...

It seems you have the makings of a wizard.

I'm not losing to him!

Me either!

Let's all do our best!

You should probably just try again tomorrow.

Don't talk to me!

I'm meditating.

It's not about trying to absorb them with your will,

but setting your heart free.

I can't do it!

Sitting still goes against my grain!

Th-That won't...

Nope, I feel much better movin' the old bod around.

This is how I set my heart and mind free!

Th-That's how it works for you?

Here it comes!

Look! It came to me, too!

Really?

Shut up and go to sleep.

Just look at me, I said!

Look! Look! Look! Look!

What do you think?! What do you think about this?!

Transformation, huh?

Focus on my consciousness.

It's the same as before...

More... more...

It's difficult.

How are you doing, Zera?

Hey! Don't look at me!

I can't concentrate!

That's amazing, Zera!

Here I go, Mavis!

I'm ready when you are!

Guess I don't have enough focus...

You can't call it training without a waterfall!

Yeah! Here come the Ethernanos!

Gimme more!

Gimme more!

Wh-What the...?

All right!

Precht, your magic's awesome, too.

I saw it a little while ago and was flabbergasted.

You need to work on yours farther away.

Your noisy lightning is too distracting.

Oh, really?

Then I'm magnificent, too?

Just get that fire started.

Up yours.

By the way, Warrod, how's your magic comin' along?

So-so.

I see.

That's not enough.

I'll get some more.

Okay. Yeah, I'm countin' on you.

Dammit!

I'm fine gathering sticks alone.

If all of them are broken off the trees, the wood will be too damp to catch fire.

Let's pick up the sticks that are on the ground.

It's always been like this.

I can never keep up with those two.

No matter what it is,

I can't do it as skillfully as them.

It's happening all over again here. I'm holding them back.

You're holding them back?

They said just the opposite.

The opposite?

Yes.

Are you okay?

Training is important, but you shouldn't overdo it...

I don't want a repeat of what happened last time.

Of course not.

We won't be sitting ducks again for them...

No.

I'm talking about getting saved by Warrod.

It's always been like that.

Every time we jump off the deep end, Warrod's there to haul us to safety.

Without him, I'd be in the afterlife right now.

That's right.

I owe him a lot.

We're comrades.

We can't let the big lug do all the heavy lifting,

so next time, it'll be our turn to protect him.

Protect me?

It's nice to have comrades, isn't it?

In order to use magic, it's important to have...

...the strength of feelings.

Yes. The strength of feelings.

Well, let's go back.

I'm hungry.

It seems I'm not cut out for intense attacks.

I want to protect my comrades.

Teach me magic that will let me support everyone.

Sure.

There's a kind of magic that goes well with the color of your soul.

Color of my soul?

Tree magic, huh?

W-What's going on?!

I... I don't know!

What the...?

Is that...

...Warrod?!

Who else could it be?

You did it, Warrod.

This is my magic!

I'm the last one left.

What are you so down about?

I'm not down,

but I was wishing I also had special magic that would

let me protect those who are dear to me.

W-What?!

We're having an important conversation!

Whoa! My whole body is surging with power!

Yeah. Now we can also...

...fight.

What do you think?

Introducing Black Magic Mavis!

You're really into it, huh?

Yes!

Huh? Where is that black magic wizard?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a while.

Have you guys seen him?

N-No.

I haven't seen him.

Where'd he go?

For me, this was extremely odd behavior.

Teaching people...

Teaching a girl magic...

Even for a whim, it was going too far.

But our time together...

...has become a treasure for me, Mavis.

Fairy Tail would be born in ten days.

Perhaps I'm the one...

...who killed her.

The time to strike back has come.

The time to free the town of Magnolia...

Mavis and the others challenge Blue Skull to another fight.

Yuri, Precht, Warrod...

Now that the three of them have new powers, they unleash a wave of explosive attacks

as Fairy Tactician Mavis's strategy pays off.

However, the battle takes a turn that no one could have imagined.

Next time: Treasure.

Treasure

There are some things that can't be lost.
