Chapter 54: Studying Star Magic (Seeking Follow-up Reading) (Ch 54)

The next few days were like this. Jiude worked out with his wife and daughter at a fixed time, and then took care of the company’s business.

Under Noah’s guidance, Leila and her daughter continued to increase the intensity of their exercise, and their complexions became better and better.

While they were training, Noah was also training his own body and magic.

During the break, Noah asked Leila about Protoss magic. He was very interested in this kind of magic that could affect time and space.

Leila taught Noah as much knowledge as she knew, and in return, Noah shared his understanding of magic.

At this time, Lucy was always listening attentively. Although many times the magic discussed by Noah and Leila was extremely profound and she had no idea what they were talking about, Lucy still lay in her mother’s arms and listened with great interest.

Under Leila’s guidance, Noah also signed a contract with the Southern Cross Key he collected. The name of the star spirit is Crooks, commonly known as Grandpa Crooks.

Although not as powerful as the Zodiac or other combat-type Silver Keys, Noah does not need a combat-type Protoss, he can defeat the enemy by himself.

What Noah needs is a Protoss who can help him, and Grandpa Kru is an expert in Protossology. He has all the information about the gate connecting the Protoss world and the human world, and Grandpa Kru has a rich collection of books.

Noah was attracted by his abilities and book collection, so he signed a contract with Grandpa Kru.

Both parties like to study and read, so they get along very well with each other. With the help of Grandpa Kru, Noah gained a lot of knowledge about the Star Spirits.

Leila, a former powerful celestial wizard, also joined in the discussion, and everyone gained a lot.

After more than half a month, Noah saw that Leila’s recovery was on track and all that was left was for her to slowly recuperate, so he said goodbye to Leila.

Lucy cried very sadly when she learned that Noah was leaving.

She had no peers to play with her, so during the past half month, her father accompanied her and her mother to exercise every day. Her brother Noah also exercised beside them. When she took a break, she lay in her mother’s arms, listening to her mother and brother Noah discussing magic.

Although she couldn’t understand a lot of it, Lucy liked this kind of atmosphere very much. Now that brother Noah was leaving, Lucy was naturally reluctant to let him go.

Noah could only comfort Lucy by saying that he would visit her more often in the future and let her exercise well with her mother.

Lucy could only say goodbye to Noah reluctantly, and Noah left the Heartfilia house.

Leila once asked Noah when Lucy should start learning magic. Noah replied that she could practice for a year or two to build a good physical foundation first.

The Celestial Mage relies mostly on the Celestials, and his own combat power is not very good. This is a good opportunity to let Lucy learn more about self-defense and the use of weapons.

This would allow Lucy to fight alongside the Celestials in the future, rather than being a weakness.

A strong physical foundation can also increase the capacity of magic power, raising the upper limit of Lucy’s strength.

Because Lucy loves reading and listening to stories, bringing someone along at this time can allow her to learn more about magic and broaden her horizons.

Leila accepted Noah’s suggestion and decided to teach Lucy celestial magic after she met the requirements in all aspects.

Noah returned to the guild and submitted two designated commissions to Makarov. Both were S-level tasks, and each task was worth more than 10 million J, which also reflected the sincerity of the Heartfilia family.

After completing the task, Noah went to the place where he usually trained. As expected, he saw Erza and the others training. Laxus was also there. It seemed that he had returned after completing the commission.

A magic circle of gravity magic appeared in the sky above where they were training, and it was maintained by Kagura.

Some time ago, Kagura’s gravity magic had been able to successfully maintain a certain intensity within a certain range, and the duration was not short.

Therefore, when gravity magic is needed during normal training, Noah is replaced by Kagura to perform it, which can also strengthen Kagura’s gravity magic training.

Seeing Noah coming back, Laxus was the first to rush out of the range of the gravity magic, his hands flashing with electric light, and he rushed straight towards Noah.

“Let’s have a competition, Noah!”

Noah dodged Laxus’ attack by leaning sideways, raised his left hand, stretched out his fingers and closed them to form a palm knife, and struck Laxus on the top of his head, knocking his entire head into the ground.

Erza and the others who were watching nearby were not surprised. But when they first saw it, they were very scared, fearing that Noah had killed someone.

But later it was discovered that Laxus was completely fine. This was a way for the two to communicate. Most of the time when Laxus saw Noah, he would step forward to challenge him, but was always defeated by Noah in one move.

It was the same this time, so the people around him were very calm and continued with their exercises.

Laxus used both hands to push his head out, dusted himself off, walked to Noah’s side, and asked:

“How was the commission this time?”

“This commission is not difficult. It is to help people with treatment and recuperation.”

Noah answered Laxus as he began to prepare.

“It seems that recently quite a few people have asked you to accept commissions, all of which are related to treatment.”

“Because my medical skills have become famous, many people come to me for treatment.”

“Your strength won’t decrease because of your medical research, right?”

“Didn’t you just know whether my strength has decreased?”

“You bastard, you don’t even know how to learn and train. Your medical skills are constantly improving, and your strength is also increasing rapidly.”

“Maybe I just have a little bit of talent.”

Noah stretched out his right hand and used his thumb and index finger to make a fingertip universe.

“I always feel that there is something wrong with your tone.” Laxus looked at Noah’s fingertips and always felt that he was being inexplicably ridiculed.

“No, no, that’s your illusion.” Noah put down the fingertip universe in his hand and began his own training. Laxus was also training within the range of Noah’s gravity magic.

But after a while, he was too tired and was kicked out by Noah.

Laxus lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and took a rest before he recovered. He turned to look at Noah and asked:

“How do you manage to exercise in such a strong gravity?”

“Just keep exercising. Only a strong body can contain strong magic, so I never stop exercising.”

“I also exercise, and I also have that thing installed, so how can I not be as good as you?”

Laxus was very puzzled. He clearly had the Thunder Dragon-Slayer Magic Crystal installed on him, and his body was affected and was getting stronger towards the direction of a dragon. However, his progress was still not as fast as Noah’s. Was he still a human being?
