Chapter 19: Research for the New Card
While Fairy Tail and the others were discussing Calvin, he had already returned to his home and was drawing something on the blueprint made of precious materials.
Sometimes, Calvin would be immersed in the study of magic. The Card of Summoning created by Pierce had infinite possibilities. The deeper one's understanding of magic, the more mystical the card could be created. Therefore, Calvin had never neglected him, even if he was now Fairy Tail's S-Level Wizard.
That night, when Cana habitually came to Calvin's house to touch the wine, she found that he was studying.
"Looking at him, it seems that he has some inspiration. What kind of card is this production?" Cana, who was interested in this, took the wine and sat on the wide sofa, looking at Calvin with interest.
"Huh?" After a while, Calvin woke up from his research and saw Cana sitting on his sofa and drinking wine. Calvin was not surprised at all. After all, the other party had already thought that this was her wine cabinet.
"It seems that the new card is a little troublesome." Looking at the messy lines on the table, Cana was keenly aware that Calvin's creation this time was not going smoothly.
"Recently, I met two of Book of Zeref's demons, so I wanted to make a seven-star demon Summoned Beast on a whim. However, just two is not enough as a reference." Calvin shook his head and seemed to be very dissatisfied with this.
"What else do you owe?" Cana asked.
"How should I put it? Although the devil in Zeref's technique is very powerful, it is still an artificial creation. What I lack is the real devil's magic wave movement. Although it is fine if there isn't, to reach seven stars, that kind of fluctuation is essential."
"Well... It is so complicated. I don't understand." Cana tried to understand the content of Calvin, but in the end, he was still confused.
"You should go back and rest early. Although we are very familiar with each other, you are still a girl after all. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about if you always stay at my house for the night?" Calvin shook his head and laughed. He lovingly touched Cana's head.
"It's none of your business. I am no longer a little girl!" Cana was a little angry and slapped Calvin's hand away. He angrily drank the wine in his hand and left with a little bit of grumbling.
"You haven't grown up yet..." Looking at the back of Cana who left without closing the door, Calvin smiled and turned back to continue studying.
The next day, because it was too late to sleep yesterday, it was already very late when Calvin woke up. He came to Guild with a sleepy look and found that the atmosphere was a little heavy.
"Eh? What's wrong? Did I go the wrong way? It's not Fairy Tail's style to be so quiet." Calvin asked in a teasing tone as he lazily walked into Guild.
"Natsu and Lucy accepted S-Level's mission without permission. Gray has already set off to bring Natsu back." The president replied weakly. At this moment, he was in a really bad mood. On one hand, it was because Natsu and the others had broken Guild's rules. Logically speaking, he should be expelled from Guild. On the other hand, he was worried that he would face life-threatening dangers at any time while carrying out S-Level's mission.
"President, why do you have to be called Gray...Although he is usually calm, if the other party is Natsu, he is very easy to lose control..." Calvin sighed and said that all the members of his guild were problem children.
"There's nothing I can do. Laxus refused to stop Natsu. I can only ask Gray for help. But since Calvin thinks there is a problem, then..." Makarov nodded in agreement. Then, he changed his tone and was about to say something.
"I don't want it! My new card is at a critical juncture. I don't have the time to care about those troubles!" Calvin guessed what Makarov wanted to say and immediately interrupted him and sternly refused.
"Is that so? Since you are not willing, then it seems like we can only wait for Erza to return." Makarov seemed to have expected Calvin's reaction and was not surprised by it.
In reality, he was very clear about Calvin's personality. He usually seemed to be easy-going,
However, as long as he had something to do, he would not be able to divert his attention elsewhere.
Seeing that Makarov seemed to have given up on making a trip, his mood became better for some unknown reason. He sat next to Cana and ordered a cup of wine.
"Natsu and the others are tasked with the cursed island of Galuna. Just now I heard the president yelling 'Island of Devils'. Are you sure you don't want to go?" Cana whispered to Calvin, who was studying the devil, "You should be interested in this."
"Devil Island, it seems that it is worth exploring..."

Leaving Fairy Tail, Calvin sat on Koumori Dragon and whistled toward the sea. He was going to bring back Natsu and Lucy who took the mission without permission.
On the way, Calvin was very bored and naturally began to think on his Card of Summoning.
The Summoned Beast on the Card of Summoning's card was a duel card that he had read from his previous life's manga, "Yu-Gi-Oh". The various effects of monsters and magic cards were very good references.
"Is it really necessary to create a 'Summoned Skul'? Although it was considered a very powerful card in the previous world, this kind of summoned beast with high attack power and no other effects is not something I desire." Calvin pondered this question with trouble in his heart.
Well ---I also don't have to completely follow what I have to do. With my current knowledge, adding two effects is really simple. It is not bad for me to go and see a real demon...
It's been a while since I created Dark Magician a year ago, and this time, it's also a 7-star monster. Next time, I should be able to create an 8-star monster...
"There is also the Exodia the Forbidden One with infinite attack power, although I have studied how to use five cards to combine summon, the key is that I do not have enough magic power to sacrifice for the three god cards, alas ~ should not I can only think about it for the rest of my life."
"Forget it, let's not look too far ahead. Dark Magician and Gaia, the Fierce Knight still have room for improvement. Summoned Skull was also a very powerful card in my previous life!"
As Calvin was lost in his thoughts, he finally arrived at the port closest to Galuna Island - Hargeon.
"It's already night? The president didn't send any messages, so it seems that I guessed it. Gray also participated in it..." Hovering in the sky above Hargeon, Calvin used the magic rules that the Law of Amaterasu had specially used to search for to sense quietly and find three people and a cat from the visual.
"We can't find them. Have they already gone?" Calvin landed on the outskirts and quietly entered the port city. He guessed that these people might take action.
"Ah! They are most likely on the island. I heard that the island has a mysterious power that can turn people into demons... However, they are Fairy Tail's sorcerers. They should not be affected immediately, right?"
"I don't want to fly around the sea in the middle of the night to find that Devil Island..."
