[Comprehensive] Every exam must be passed

"Could it be that this disaster was man-made? The culprit is that guy named 'Meister'?" Leo Li stood up suddenly, and accidentally swiped his elbow to the beer glass on the table, and the transparent glass beer glass fell to the ground. On the ground, it broke into pieces.

"Ah, I see!" Xiaojie stared at the fragments on the ground, had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly yelled, Makao didn't bother to ask him what he thought of, and ran to ask other members first, do they remember Mace? special things.

Xiaojie grabbed Leorio's suit sleeve with one hand, spread out the magic newspaper on the table with the other hand, pointed to a few lines in it, and said to Leorio and Chiya: "According to the Magic Council, Sirius Island was The black dragon's magic shock wave destroyed it, right? The shock wave... sounds like a physical attack, but isn't the surrounding sea area too clean?"

Yes.

An island has stones, soil, flowers and trees, even if it disappears, there should be some debris left.Whether it was blown into pieces with a bang, or melted with a sizzling sound, there shouldn't be nothing in that sea area.

At this time, Makao hurried back with several other people, and patted Kiya on the shoulder: "You are right, our memory must have been changed. No matter who it is, they all remember that Meister is a member of the guild." One member, but when did he join and what kind of magic he was good at, as long as he thinks about these questions, his memory will become very blurred. This is not something that can be explained by 'no sense of existence'."

"However, where is this Meister now? If all of this was written by him, he couldn't have disappeared along with Sirius Island." Qi Ya gently pinched his chin in thought: "And, Xiaojie just proposed I am also a little concerned about the issue. Sure enough, we should start from the Magic Council..." After all, those council members were the only witnesses to the destruction of Sirius Island.

"Ahhh..." Makao thumped the top of his head a few times, and said to himself, "Impossible, that kind of thing is absolutely impossible..."

Upon seeing this, Xiaojie asked, "Did uncle think of any clues?"

Leorio chimed in impatiently: "That's right, uncle, don't look constipated, just say what comes to mind!"

Makao subconsciously picked up the beer glass and brought it to his mouth only to find that there was no wine in it. He put the bottom of the glass on the table with a "bang" and scolded Leori angrily: "You have What qualifications do you have to call me uncle, bastard!"

"You——!!" Leori looked anxious. He was only in his teens, but he looked like a mature adult in his 30s or [-]s. Even Bilika and others had misunderstood him when they first met him. .

"Forget it, call it whatever you want." Without waiting for Leorio to explode, Makao waved his hand "magnanimously" first, turning the page.He hesitated and said, "In the entire Kingdom of Fiore, no, in the entire magical world, I only know one person who can change the memory of others, but..."

"Are you talking about... Abigail the Ice Beauty?" Qi Ya suddenly interjected, and Makao asked in surprise, "How do you know?" Don't these three ordinary people know little about the magic world? ?

Qi Ya pouted, feeling speechless about Makao's bad memory: "President Makarov said, I was there at the time, did you forget?"

The strongest team of the previous generation—Kildas, a terrorist destroyer who can smash anything, Zela, a berserk witch who uses wind and wood natural magic, and Abigail, an ice beauty who can teleport and change other people's memories you.

The three of them are super S-rank wizards who would tremble even the most vicious wanted criminals!

President Makarov's voice sounded in Makao's mind.

By the way, he remembered that it was the first day that Bilika came to the guild. After knowing that she was the daughter of Sister Zela, the senior members such as Makao and Wakaba showed unusual respect for her. Enthusiasm, but many of the newly joined young mages have never met Zela, so President Makarov gave them a brief introduction.

Kiya observed Makao's expression, and seeing that he showed a clear expression, he immediately asked: "It's Abigail, right? Does Meester have anything to do with her? Where is she now? "

This time, Makao didn't answer right away. He was silent for a long time before he sniffed and smiled wryly: "Miss Abby, that nerd, must be reading under the lamp with black-rimmed glasses...in another world."

Leorio froze for a moment, then repeated in disbelief: "Another...world? Wait, could it be..."

Makao nodded: "It's passed away, Miss Abby. It was 13 years ago."

"13 years ago? Wasn't that the year I was born?" Xiaojie rested his index finger on his chin, thinking distractedly, so did Qi Ya, and so did Bilika.

Qi Ya didn't speak, he intuited that there should be another story.

Sure enough, although Makao hesitated for a long time, he finally chose to tell them everything.

"Sister Abby uses two kinds of magic, the first one is 'teleportation', which uses magic to move instantly; the other is called 'memory', which can change the memory of others.

The former is fine, but the latter sounds scary, right?If a person can't even control his own memory, what else can he believe in?

So, although Miss Abby has never tampered with other people's memories at will except for mission needs, there are still many people in the guild who hate her... No, they should be afraid of her. "Makao seemed to be caught in the memories of the past, his eyes gradually blurred: "At that time, there were only two people who didn't care, that is Kildas and Sister Zela. "

"Really, I don't understand what they are afraid of. But... hey, if you tamper with my memory without permission, I will beat you!"

"If you want to change, you can change it. No matter how many times you change it, Abby's figure is No. 1 in my heart. This will never change!" This is the strong, bold and lustful Kildas.

"If I changed your memory, how could you still remember beating me? Zela, you are really rough. ——Go away, Kildath, I want to read, but you blocked the light." This is cold Another serious Abigail.

"When those three people were here, it was the golden age of the guild. 'Fairy Tail may become the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore!' Although we didn't say it explicitly, each of us believed in it.—— If it wasn't for what happened later."

Infected by the dignified atmosphere in his tone, Leorio lowered his voice unconsciously, and asked, "W-what's the matter?"

Makao put his hands on the table, clasped tightly, his masseter muscles swelled, sighed deeply, tried to calm down, and continued: "Sister Abby was killed in a mission to hunt down fierce beasts. What happened specifically?" What, no one knows. All I know is that the task that was originally scheduled to be completed by the three members of the strongest team, before leaving, Miss Zela stayed because of Bilika's sudden high fever. And Kildas... he Being tender with a woman, I was delayed for two hours, and missed the agreed time to respond, Sister Abby, she..."

Makao couldn't speak anymore.

On a cold rainy night, when he came back with Abigail's mutilated body in his arms, Kildath's expression was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Although after the accident, everyone comforted them, saying that these were accidents, and if the client's information was true, even Abigail alone would be enough to deal with it, but no one thought that the real strength and number of fierce beasts would be greater than The request was so much higher, but Zela and Kildas couldn't forgive themselves no matter what.

It would be nice if I went too.

If only I hadn't made out with women.

It would be nice if I did some research before accepting this commission.

in case……

At that time, those two people must have thought so.

As Makao knew, Kildas seemed to have met a woman he really liked at that time, which was different from the woman he had provoked before. Once he was drunk, he even considered proposing to that woman.

But after the incident with Abigail, Kildath never mentioned that woman.

Zela, she likes the lively atmosphere of the guild the most. Even after marrying Tiqi, she never considered quitting the guild.But Abigail was gone, and every cheer in the guild hall, every clink of glasses, every sentence of "I'm back" and "Welcome back" turned into a terrifying nightmare.

During that time, Zela suffered from neurasthenia due to long-term insomnia, and her whole body weakened rapidly. In the end, she was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed. Tiqi had to take her away. After that, she never contacted the guild again for more than ten years.

Leo Li opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Qi Ya's eyes were half-lidded: "No wonder, as soon as Abigail was asked, Kildas rushed back to rest. At that time, I felt that his expression was a little unnatural, so that's what happened."

"But, isn't this a good thing?" Xiaojie tried to comfort Makao from another angle: "This shows that Meister has nothing to do with the guild members." It's even more chilling.

"You don't understand." Makao shook his head: "What is magic, and the one you awakened called Nian, Nian..."

Xiaojie reminded him: "The ability to read."

"Yes, it's different from the ability to read. I heard from Billica that after opening the fine pores, if you want to go to the final step of 'fat', each of you must create a unique ability to read that is only suitable for you .

But although the types of magic are ever-changing, they need to be passed on.Just as Natsu, Lucy, and Birika learned it from their parents, Gray learned it from a teacher.Magic is the foundation of our mages' survival. Mages of the same attribute may exchange experiences with each other, but the real core secrets will never be spread out at will.

According to ancient legends, magic was originally the ability that humans learned from the dragon clan. It has never been heard of anyone who can create a new type of magic.

Even Gray's ice modeling magic is known as "free magic", but in fact, no matter how ever-changing the shape is, in the final analysis, it is still the form of ice.

Sister Abby's memory magic is a lost magic. It was recorded on the stone wall in a chiseled way by an extinct family. She accidentally discovered it in a ruin when she accepted a certain commission.

After Sister Abby learned it, half of the wall that had been eroded by sand and wind all year round collapsed.Sister Abby had no apprentices, no children, and did not leave any written records about memory magic. The chances of finding the exact same inheritance in other places are very small.In other words, theoretically speaking, the branch of memory magic should have been cut off. "

Makao said the long list in one breath, picked up the cup to moisten his throat, laughed mockingly, and muttered in a low voice: "This Meister is not good enough. If it is Miss Abby, she will definitely Fabricate every detail so detailed that no one can find anything wrong."

Qi Ya thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "It would be great if I could meet Bilika's mother."

"Huh?" Leorio was stunned for a moment, then nodded, thinking he understood Qi Ya's reason: "That's right, we should inform her family of the news of Bilika's disappearance."

"No, what I mean is that according to the inheritance of magic, it is unlikely that this lost magic was recorded in two places and happened to be discovered by different people in recent decades. Meister and Abigail There must be some kind of connection between Abigail and Abigail, who has a cold personality and does not like to socialize with others. Only Zela and Kildath are most likely to know about this connection. Since Kildas is also involved in the Sirius Island incident One of the missing members, then only Zela is left." Qi Ya bit his thumbnail and said: "The point that Xiaojie thought of is also very important. It would be great if I could get in touch with the witnesses at that time, Sirius It makes a big difference whether the island is gradually falling apart before their eyes, or whether there is a flash of white light and the whole island disappears."

Makao was completely convinced.

He didn't have a good brain, so he didn't bother at all, just followed Qi Ya's train of thought, and replied actively: "It's not difficult to know the list of specific personnel near Sirius Island at that time, I can ask a friend to inquire, but the Council This person thinks highly of herself, so it's hard to say if she can ask anything. As for Sister Zela...she hasn't contacted us since she resigned from the meeting, and I really don't know where she is now."

Qi Ya frowned: "Bilika told me that she lives in Zhenxin Town, but she also said that the town is small and out of the way, not even marked on the map, and I don't know the route and details. Location."

"Uh, I know about Bilika's hometown." Leorio said suddenly, which was really unexpected.He explained: "After the hunter assessment last year, didn't I follow the bald ninja Hanzo to the ninja world with Prika? Ask him, and you will find Bilika's parents."

"Okay, then Xiaojie and I will go to find all the witnesses who were there when Sirius Island disappeared, and Leorio will go to Zhenxin Town." Qi Ya made a decisive decision: "Time is tight, and if we find out the truth one minute earlier, it is possible to improve the situation by one minute." There is no chance of Rika being rescued. Let's go!"

***

The weather in Magnolia is still crisp and clear in autumn, but the woods near Zhenxin Town are already covered with thin snow.

"Damn it, why is this road so difficult to walk." Leorie picked up a thick branch as a walking stick, and slid step by step along the forest path.

Hanzo currently entered a small country in the south in order to find the fantasy scroll, and the borders there restricted entry and exit. Although he had already submitted the application for leaving the country immediately after hearing about Bilika, it was said that it would take half a year for the approval to be approved.

Leorio didn't have time to wait for him, so he asked him to send the map to Bilika's hometown by mail, and then set off alone.

"By the way, I didn't expect Bilika's hometown to be so remote. Not only is it closed to traffic, it doesn't even have roads. Hey, what's that?" Leorie muttered to himself, and approached the bright shiny ground stuff, and then—"AHHHHHHHHH!!"

The withered grass shook, and a fluffy yellow electric mouse came out of it: "Pika, Pika! Pikachu?"

Probably because the prey that stepped on the trap was different from the usual ones, Pikachu turned his pointed ears, showing a little puzzled expression.

"Have you caught it? Pikachu!" Two girls came running from a distance with a steel fork in their hands. When they saw Leorio who was hanging from a tree by a hunting net and was dying of electric shock from Pikachu, the older girl helped him up. The brim of the hat that fell on the eyelids stepped forward and poked it strangely: "Another foreigner?"

***

"...It hurts." Leo Li sat up with his forehead propped up, his fingers still a little numb. "where is this?"

The purpose of entering is a simple but clean room. The quilt covering the body has a pleasant smell of being tanned by the sun. It can be seen through the window beside the bed that the sky is completely dark.

Warm yellow light and faint voices came through the crack of the door, Leorio lifted the quilt and got out of bed, opened the door and followed the light source to find it.

"Ah, are you awake?" The beautiful woman in an apron found Leorio. She just put a blueberry pie on an iron plate on the dining table, took off the heat-resistant gloves, and warmly invited him: "Just in time It's dinner time, come and sit down. Sorry, our Pikachu may be using too much power."

The rich aroma of food awakened Leorio from his stomach.

This is a rather large restaurant. The old elm tables and chairs look rough and clumsy, but every corner is smooth and shiny. The walls are the color of emerald leaves, green plants with large leaves and fallen flower branches Put it in every corner of the restaurant.

And in front of that long dining table, there were two men sitting, one was wearing a white shirt with a loose neckline, with half a cigarette butt in his mouth, the lingering smoke was floating all over the room, and the pair of glasses with thick milk bottle bottoms on the bridge of his nose made him feel Leorio immediately responded to Billika's description.And another man sitting across from him, with red hair, broad shoulders, and heart-shaped gold earrings...

"Hisso?!" Leorio took two steps back, pressed his back against the refrigerator, and almost knocked the gold-edged spider plant on the top of the refrigerator to the ground: "Why are you here?!"

The corners of Hisoka's lips curled slightly, and he raised his glass to greet him, the wine in the glass was rippling, and the curved glass wall reflected Leorio's astonished face. "haven't seen you for a long time."

"Really, didn't I tell you to quit smoking countless times! Besides, there are still guests here!" Zela rushed out of the kitchen angrily, snatched the cigarette from Tiqi's mouth unceremoniously, and crushed it .

"Sorry, sorry." Tiqi raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I promise not to smoke. Well, tonight." He coaxed Zela away and turned to Leorio: "Mr. Leorio, please sit down."

"Ah? Ah, you must be Mr. Tiqi, right? But, why..." Leorio hesitated to sit down next to Hisoka, looked at Hisoka vigilantly, and suspected that Hisoka had revealed his identity to him. The Tiki couple.

"I heard that Bilika said that you are a doctor, um, it's amazing to heal and save people. ——Please taste the homemade wine." Tiqi smiled kindly, and gave the tall glass in front of Leoli The glass is filled with agate-like red and transparent wine.

"Thank you, thank you..." Leorio is still a little bit overwhelmed. He has imagined the scene of meeting Bilika's parents many times, and even made plans to deal with the parents who collapsed and howled, but he never imagined Now, sitting peacefully at the same table and tasting wine slowly, and still with Hisoka.

The wine is somewhat tart, but the finish is long and intense.

Before Leorie could speak, Tiqi continued the topic just now, and suddenly said: "Our family always said that it would be good for Bilika to marry a doctor."

Leorio sipped all the wine in one sip.

Turning his head, he didn't spray on the table.

Hisoka was quick-sighted, pulled up the napkin on his knees, blocked all the wine on the other side of the napkin, and then smeared the entire napkin on Leori's face, while he took the napkin by Leori's table , wiped his hands slowly, and his smile didn't change at all: "A doctor may not be a good match. For example, this one has no house, no car, no savings, and no fixed assets, except for a clinic that's free to treat the poor, that is, lose money. 'Dreams are useless. After Bilika gets married, she will have to work hard because of the debts and debts, so as to make up for her husband's shortfall in donating clothes and medicines."

... Where did this guy know so clearly? !

Leorio still doesn't know about the relationship between Hisoka and Bilika, and he is only indignant at being belittled: "You are not the same..."

Before he finished speaking, Hisoka interrupted: "I have a lot of shares and funds in Italy, and the annual dividends can almost buy two or three private clinics." Hisoka heard the voice of swallowing saliva clearly in his ear, The smile grew wider: "Of course, if necessary, these can be transferred to Bilika's name."

……what?

Leorio finally realized that he might have missed something.

"It has nothing to do with money." Zela brought out the last dish, and sat down opposite Leorio with a stern face: "May I ask Mr. Hisoka this year?"

Hisoka tilted his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Zela's face, as if he couldn't understand Zela's mocking him for being too old: "27 years old, just has the ability to choose what you want, and can clearly judge what you want age."

Zela clenched the knife and fork in her hand, and the fork tip scraped against the white porcelain plate with a harsh friction sound, covering up the sound of her grinding her teeth in hatred.

Zela finally realized how President Makarov felt when she insisted on marrying Tiki.The kind of sourness of knowing that the other party looks extremely unreliable, but his own silly child is so determined to hit him with all his heart, it's so sour.

When it comes to what love is in the world, it is just retaliation for retribution.

Leorio finished his meal in a fog, and when the market closed, he finally remembered what he was going to do here. "Sir, madam, Bilika her..."

"Well, I know, I've heard Hisoka say it." Zela wiped the table with his back to Leorie, and Tiki was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Ka Mo didn't care.

"Said? Hey, what did you say? No, I should ask, what exactly are you here for?" It was about his companion, Leorio temporarily forgot the horror of the magician, and asked Hisoka directly.

However, it was strange that Hisoka actually answered. "Sirius Island is known as the 'Holy Land of Fairy Tail', do you know why?"

"...Huh?" Leorio didn't think about this question. Everyone used "Fairy Tail Holy Land" to call Sirius Island, so he just took it as another name or nickname for the island, and never thought about it deeply. the meaning of it.

"It is said that Mebis Viviamilio, the first president of Fairy Tail, is buried on that island. The strange thing is that the location of Sirius Island is not far from the coastline, and it only takes half a day for a large sailing ship It is possible to reach the sea area where Sirius Island disappeared, but the fishermen fishing nearby and the boatmen who punted their boats all said that they did not remember seeing an island nearby."

"Probably... I didn't pay attention to it. Of course fishermen only pay attention to the fish in the sea. Who would care about an inexplicable island..." Leo Li argued strongly, but he felt that this reason was untenable.

Sure enough, it's still too young.

The reason why ordinary people can't see it is because there is a barrier covering Sirius Island. Since there is this barrier that prevents ordinary people from breaking in, there may be other more powerful barriers.Hisoka smiled. "The black dragon's attack actually happened. According to the Book of Apocalypse, under that level of attack, the entire country would be destroyed, let alone a small island?"

Leorio didn't want to hear such frustrating words, and said stubbornly: "Anyway, I will never believe that Billika died like this!"

Hisoka sat sideways on the wooden chair, propped his forehead with one hand, and said with a smile: "Then, let's assume that Sirius Island still exists. If the black dragon's attack is likened to a spear, since Sirius Island still exists, there must be A shield to protect it. The question is, what is this shield?"

What can hold a shield is nothing more than a person or a place.Hisoka's guess leans towards the latter.Bilika once said in the chat that every S-level mage assessment will definitely be held on Sirius Island.This sentence made him a little concerned.

He shifted his gaze to Zela who was whispering to Tiki in the kitchen.

Chairman Makarov, who is over 80 years old, is already the third generation, "burying the first generation chairman", that is to say, Sirius Island has existed for a long time.

None of the existing members of Fairy Tail know more about Sirius Island, but Zela is different. Her parents are members of Fairy Tail. Not only did she grow up in the guild, but she is also the senior member The oldest one was once a super S-rank mage second only to the president.

If Sirius Island has any protection measures such as shields, Zela probably knows.

Hisoka didn't care about who attacked Sirius Island and for what reason, he just wanted to know whether it was possible for Sirius Island and the people on it to be preserved, and if they were protected, what was the reason? The entire island disappeared before people's eyes.

Was Bilika isolated in another time and space, or was she still there, blocked by a layer of blindness that was invisible to the naked eye?Did she get hurt?Do you have food and water around you?

Although the way of thinking is different, the considerations of Leorio and others are the same.

***

Seeing that even Hisoka was thinking about the Sirius Island incident, and Zela and Tiki's indifferent attitude finally angered Leorio.

"Hey, wait, Bilika... She is in a state of unknown life and death now!" Leo Li thumped the table hard, what's going on, these parents, one by one, what do these parents think of their children? !

"Bilika has come of age."

"……what?"

"According to the ancient tradition, once a witch's child reaches the age of 12, he must leave home for a year of independent practice. If he can complete it, he will be considered an adult after one year." Zela folded the clean rag Well, the tone is very flat: "Fairy Tail does not have a mage who needs help from others to wipe his butt. It is not what adults should do when they are beaten and cry and go home to find their parents for support."

"That's different!" Leorio anxiously defended: "The Sirius Island incident is not as simple as being beaten and crying and going home! They don't know what the situation is!"

Hisoka leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, watching Leori argue with Zela without saying a word.

In the end, it was Leori who compromised: "I see! I don't ask you to join us in finding Bilika, but please answer a few questions for me. Is that okay?"

"Well, yes, you can ask."

Leorie sorted out his thoughts, and decided to ask Abigail first: "Has Miss Abigail left any records about memory magic before? It doesn't have to be in the form of writing down, maybe I just told it casually." someone, or something else."

After finishing speaking, Leorio regretted that he asked too directly.According to Makao, Zela should have been greatly stimulated by Abigail's affairs.

However, fortunately, Zela did not have any overreaction, she replied calmly: "No."

Zela didn't hesitate, and answered firmly.On the contrary, Leo Li was a little disbelieving: "Maybe it was when Madam didn't know..."

"You will also feel fear? My memory can be tampered with at will, so Abby sometimes regrets that she has learned this magic. I once said that since memory magic is a lost magic, it must be cut off. The reason is that she should not continue to pass on this magic. So, no, no written records, no images, no dictation, no records of any kind."

Leorio felt that his mind was tied up: "Then, how did Meister learn it?" Could it be that it was really a coincidence that he discovered the exact same magic that was recorded in another place?

"Well, Meister is an exception." Zela smiled and waved her hands.

"Do you know about Meester?" Leorio stood up excitedly.

"Meister is Abby's child. He has been very smart since he was a child. He even secretly learned memory magic and always used it to play pranks. Abby is also very helpless, and he has cleaned up the mess for him several times!" Zela said. Thinking of something fun, he showed a faint smile.

"Kid, kid?" Leorio's mind was no longer as simple as knotting, it was like a pot of paste: "So, Meister is indeed a member of Fairy Tail? Can’t remember? Besides, since they are members of the same guild, why did Meester kill Billika and the others? Could it be because of Abigail’s death that he blamed other people in the guild?”

"die?"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Leorio remembered the story Makao told, and apologized without opening his eyes: "I'm really sorry for making you sad."

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zela was a little angry, her face puffed up slightly, very similar to Bilika: "Of course Abby is still alive!"
