Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Newcomers Are All Monsters
Knight traveled through time a month ago.
He landed in Magnolia City.
That is, the city where Fairy Tail is located.
After getting the Internet magic from the novice gift pack, Knight worked odd jobs while studying magic.
At the same time, thanks to the free food distributed from time to time by Kardia Cathedral, he was able to save some money to rent a house.
Now that the house is rented, he has less than 10,000 J left in his pocket.
He can be called the poorest traveler.
However, things are getting better now.
Joining Fairy Tail and becoming a wizard, he can take commissions to make money.
…
At noon.
Knight walked into the guild, and the noisy atmosphere hit him.
Rather than being a wizard guild, it was more like a noisy tavern.
The guild hall was very wide, enough to accommodate four or five basketball courts.
A large group of people surrounded the bar and kept yelling at Mirajane.
"Hey, Mirajane, play with it for a while."
"Let me use that ring too!"
"Please, Mirajane, it's too much for one person to enjoy it alone."
"This magic called the Internet looks very interesting!"
Faced with the siege of the crowd, Mirajane could only smile awkwardly.
"This is Knight's ring. I can't give it to you without his permission."
"When Knight comes, I have to return the ring to him. If you want to try it, go and ask Knight."
The crowd did not give up. Someone asked curiously:
"Is the new guy not here yet? I really want to meet him."
Knight walked towards the bar and said as he walked:
"After the first input of magic power, the ring will be bound to the holder. Others cannot use it. In other words, it recognizes magic power, and everyone's magic power is different."
"You are finally here, Knight." Mirajane stood up and greeted him cordially.
"You don't have to return the ring to me. I'll give it to you as a return gift for inviting me to dinner."
"Really?" Mirajane's eyes sparkled.
Seeing the main character coming, a group of people immediately surrounded Knight.
"Hello, newcomer, my name is Macao."
"I am Levy· McGarden, welcome to Fairy Tail, Knight."
"I am Cana, hey, newcomer, do you still have that kind of ring? Can you give me one too? Don't be partial, I can buy you a drink~"
The closest one was a carefree woman, holding a bottle of wine in broad daylight, and seemed very curious about the ring.
Knight heard many familiar names, but most of them were unknown minor characters.
However, since they are seniors in the guild, it means that everyone is a magician.
As long as he wears the ring and uses the Internet, it will provide him with magic enhancement.
They are all top-notch leeks!
"Good afternoon, seniors, I am the newcomer Knight. Since we meet for the first time, I will give everyone a magic ring as a gift."
Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Knight took out a cloth bag and gave rings to everyone one by one.
The people who got the rings thanked happily, and then went to the side to surf the Internet.
98 rings, most of them were gone in a blink of an eye.
Mirajane came over with a plate of delicious food after seeing everyone leave.
"Knight, you must not have eaten yet? This is for you."
Knight thanked him without hesitation and sat at the bar to enjoy.
"So many magic rings are given away... you don't have money to eat." Mirajane looked helpless.
"Why do you feel sorry for me?" Knight chuckled and said, "Don't you want to treat me to a meal?"
"Don't worry, as long as you come to the guild, I will treat you to a meal~"
Mirajane said with a smile, and when Knight pushed the remaining rings in front of her, she asked in confusion:
"What are you doing...?"
"If anyone wants it later, please give it to them."
The guild has hundreds of members, but not so many people came today, and there are still 20 to 30 rings left out of the 98 rings.
Knight simply gave the remaining rings to Mirajane, and the poster girl distributed them.
Make sure the rings can be delivered to every leek as soon as possible.
"You want to give it all away?" Mirajane was stunned, not quite understanding Knight's behavior.
"I think the biggest feature of the Internet is sharing!"
"Sharing?"
Knight answered while eating delicious food: "Yes, sharing."
"For example, I want to look up a magic book about 'photographing' and 'scanning'. I need to go to the library to borrow it, and I need to search by category, which is very troublesome."
"So, I plan to add a [library] to the Internet, allowing everyone to freely upload books, whether it is a magic book or an adventure novel."
"At that time, as long as you have a ring, you can quickly find the content you want by searching anytime and anywhere."
"Knowledge will not disappear because of sharing. On the contrary, it will spark more wisdom in communication."
Mirajane was radiant and admiring.
Sharing knowledge benefits the public.
So, more people need to enter the Internet?
"It's a great dream."
"I was developing the library module last night, but I ran into some trouble."
Knight sighed and said, "The picture I imagined is that the person holding the ring can use the scanning function of the Internet to scan the books page by page and then upload them to the magic network."
"You don't know scanning magic?" Mirajane smiled softly: "There is a library on the second floor of the guild, there should be the magic book you need."
"Can I go up?"
"No, only S-class wizards can go up to the second floor, Knight, you are still a newcomer now."
Mirajane covered her mouth and chuckled: "But I will help you find it. Wait a moment."
As she said that, she turned and went up to the second floor.
Knight watched her disappear on the stairs, and then glanced at the notice board beside her inadvertently.
The notice board posted various commissions. Wizards who wanted to accept the task only needed to tear off the task commission letter.
There was also a notice board on the second floor, where there were much fewer commissions, at least all S-class tasks.
"Next I have to make money, what tasks can make a big profit?"
Knight got up and walked to the notice board.
The content of the commission was quite diverse.
Cleaning up the snow mountain bigfoot, repelling a group of thieves, finding lost important documents, escorting a caravan to the destination...
All kinds of commissions.
The Wizard Guild does the work of a "jack of all trades".
The rewards for these commissions range from 50,000 to 600,000 J to 200,000 to 300,000 J.
The rewards are a bit low...
Knight wants to open a business and enjoy the generous rewards for three years.
"I remember there was an S-level commission that was very simple."
"Go to a cursed island, lift the curse, and restore the local residents to normal."
"If I remember correctly, the reward is 7 million J, and a key to the zodiac is also included."
Knight pinched his chin and thought.
He remembered the plot of Fairy Tail. Although he forgot some details, he did not forget the general main process.
This S-level task is very simple, just destroy the "moon".
With his shock magic, it is just a matter of one punch.
One punch can earn 7 million J!
"It's a pity that it's an S-level task, I can't take it." Knight frowned, thinking in his heart whether to ask Mirajane to open a back door for him.
But with the character of the poster girl, she obviously would not agree.
A newcomer going on an S-rank mission, risking his life - Mirajane would definitely think so and stop him.
"Ahem, ahem... are you the newcomer Knight?"
Suddenly, a feigned cough came from behind.
Knight turned around and lowered his head.
He saw a short old man, who stretched out his hand to greet him:
"Hey, newcomer, I'm Makarov, the guild leader."
Makarov Dreyar, one of the ten holy wizards.
"Good afternoon, guild leader." Knight naturally recognized the other party.
"I heard about you from Mirajane this morning."
Makarov looked kind and kind: "Your Internet magic is very interesting, this is a brand new magic. Did you develop it yourself? It's a genius."
He was generous with his praise.
When he saw Mirajane's demonstration in the morning, even he was amazed.
He instantly realized the pioneering and revolutionary nature of this magic.
Genius!
A true wizard genius!
"It brings people closer together. Even if they are in different countries or cities, they can still communicate with each other on the magic network."
"Internet, this name is great."
Makarov was full of praise.
"Thank you for the compliment, President. I am just standing on the shoulders of giants." Knight shook his head.
His Internet magic was given by the system. He just created a forum and three small games on its basic framework.
"No need to be modest,"
Makarov smiled and said, "I heard from Mirajane that you are a little short of money. Your magic has no combat ability. It may be difficult to complete the commission."
Hearing this, Knight's heart moved and he immediately said:
"President, I actually know another kind of magic."
"Huh? You know a second kind of magic?" Makarov was stunned.
At such a young age, he not only created a new and incredible magic Internet, but also mastered a second one?
Knight nodded: "I think I can handle S-level tasks. Can you promote me to an S-level wizard as soon as possible?"
Makarov suspected that he had heard it wrong.
A newcomer who just joined the guild is already thinking about becoming an S-level?
"It's good to have this ambition, but S-level missions are not a joke.
A moment's misjudgment will cost you your life."
Makarov warned in a deep voice.
He didn't want a genius wizard to die young.
In fact, he was even willing to privately fund Knight and give him enough money to live on so that he could continue to study Internet magic with peace of mind. "What is your second magic?" "Earthquake."
Knight demonstrated it to Makarov on the spot.
He lightly hit the atmosphere with his right fist.
Boom! The atmosphere cracked like a mirror, and in an instant, the ground shook.
Makarov didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground with his buttocks.
He was stunned for a moment.
The newcomer is not only a genius, but also a monster? !
