Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 186: Magic is the Power of the Mind

"Are you the one who is good at the True Celestial Body Magic, the one who claimed to use meteorites, Evan Belserion?"

When Layla heard Evan's words, she was shocked. She did not expect that the Ten Wizards Saint who was known as "Collapsing Star" was actually a youth who looked extremely young and looked much younger than their daughter.

"Hehe, all my deeds are just rumors. In fact, I am still very easy-going..."

"Moreover, no one in this world would smash people with meteorites for no reason."

Evan looked at the surprised look on Layla's face and explained with a bitter smile.

"Er, sorry for the lack of manners. The difference between the rumors and reality is too great."

Layla laughed after hearing Evan's words. She looked at Evan up and down. Compared to the image of Ten Wizards Saint that she imagined in her mind, she found that they were two people. There was nothing different except their names.

"So, sof the news in the weekly newspapers are unbelievable. It is better to see."

Evan said helplessly after listening to Layla's words.

"What..."

Jude looked at Evan and Layla who were talking and laughing beside him, inexplicably feeling out of place.

"Hehe, Jude, because you don't care about the Magic World, you don't know, right? Evan is a super famous mage in the Magic World..."

After hearing what Jude said, Layla smiled gently and pointed at Evan with the small fan in her hand.

However, Layla did not say a word. That was... although Evan's reputation was full of bad names.

Flattening mountain range, demon slaying, smashing people with meteorites. No matter what kind of deeds it is, it is enough to make ordinary people shocked...

"Hehe, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."

Evan only chuckled and waved her hand.

"I didn't expect you to be such a powerful mage. Speaking of which, you were also the one who found the lost things for us back in the town at the western entrance..."

After hearing Layla's explanation, Jude also smiled and recalled the past.

"Eh? Is there such a thing?"

Layla did not expect such an interesting thing to happen between Jude and Evan. It was really fate.

"No, that's right. Actually, I accidentally lost our daughter's photo that time..."

After listening to Jude's words, Layla blushed. She lowered her head and said with sembarrassment.

"Ah You actually dare to lose Lucy's photo?"

Layla, who was originally gentle and elegant, immediately becangry after hearing what Jude said. She looked at Jude and asked.

"No, no, no. That's why I said, thanks to Evan helpingget the photo back, and I also gave a certain compensation according to the meaning of Evan's already Fairy Tail!"

Jude looked at Layla, who was 'flipping out', and panicked. He quickly winked at Evan.

"Eh, hehe..."

Evan looked at Jude and knew that Jude was a henpecked husband. However, Jude was actually the son-in-law of the Heartfillia Family. Wasn't it normal for him to be a little stricter with Layla?

In this regard, Evan smiled and said to Layla, "Mr. Jude helped us pay the ticket back then and also helped us reserve the expenses for the journey..."

"Look! Layla, I have feedback for Evan and the others..."

After Evan spoke, Jude immediately looked at Layla and said.

"Sigh, you..."

Layla sighed helplessly after listening to Jude. It was because of Jude that she could not let go of Jude! She always felt that if Jude left her, he would definitely walk the wrong path!

"Mom, is there a guest?"

"Miss, Miss, put on your shoes. Be careful not to catch a cold..."

While Layla, Jude, and Evan were drinking black tea and chatting, a girl with long golden hair ran down the stairs with bare feet under the helpless pursuit of the maid.

Although the girl did not have long legs, her steps were quite fast. The maid in the long dress could only helplessly chase, but she could not catch up no matter what.

"Mom..."

When the blonde girl saw Layla sitting on the sofa, she took a big stride and jumped into Layla's arms.

"Lucy, be good! Put on your shoes!"

Layla hugged the blonde girl in her arms and looked at Lucy lovingly.

"Mm!"

After listening to Layla's words, Lucy stretched out her white feet to the maid.

"Yes, you can run around after you wear your shoes. You can run around after you wear them. I've told you a few times. Be careful not to catch a cold!"

"Giveyour shoes!"

"Eh, Master, letdo it! This is all my fault..."

"This has nothing to do with you. It's all Lucy's fault for being disobedient."

"Lucy, you have to be obedient. Don't cause trouble for your mother. How many times have I told you?"

Jude frowned when he saw Layla running around with her bare feet. He took the socks and shoes from the maid and put them on for Lucy while criticizing and educating her.

"Hmph!"

After listening to Jude's words, Lucy nestled in the arms of Layla, pouting as if she did not listen to priest chanting the scriptures.

"Haha..."

As for Evan, who was sitting opposite to Lucy's family, she looked at the warm scene in front of her and smiled gently, saying nothing.

However, Evan kept looking at Lucy's face and Layla's face.

"It's really the same! But Lucy's hot-tempered personality seems to be a little too much..."

Evan looked back and forth between Layla and Lucy a few times. She could not help but sigh at how powerful the genes of the Heartfilia Family were. Lucy and Leila were practically carved from the smold.

"Huh?"

Just as Evan was sizing up Lucy and Layla, Lucy seemed to have noticed Evan as well. She blinked her eyes and looked at Evan curiously.

"Hello..."

Evan looked at the young Lucy and greeted her softly.

"Who are you?"

Lucy seemed to have seen her 'peers' for the first time, so she looked at Evan curiously.

"I am a mage from the Fairy Tail Guild."

Evan introduced herself as she looked at Lucy.

"Mage? Then do you know a lot of magic?"

After listening to Evan, Lucy's eyes sparkled as she looked at Evan and asked.

"It's alright! I know a little about magic..."

Evan looked at Lucy and smiled.

"Oh..." After listening to Evan, Lucy thought for a while, then opened her eyes wide and said, "Lucy wants to watch a magic performance!"

"Eh? A magic performance?"

Evan was stunned. It seemed that he really did not have any special skills. The only thing he seemed to do was throw a meteorite. Should he perform a meteorite fall for Lucy?

No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem appropriate.

"Lucy, don't cause trouble for others!"

Jude frowned and looked at Lucy.

"Mom, Dad is scolding me!"

After listening to Jude's words, Lucy immediately hugged Layla and cried loudly.

"Good Lucy, good girl..."

After hearing Lucy's words, Layla quickly stroked Lucy's back and tried to persuade her.

"Haha, if it was a magic performance, I would at least be able to order..."

Evan looked at Lucy, who was sobbing while holding Layla, and laughed.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Lucy immediately straightened up and sobbed. She turned around and looked at Evan curiously.

"If it's a magic performance..."

Evan waved her hand and a flmagic array appeared in the room. Then, with a roar, it shot towards the sky. The moment it touched the ceiling, the fireball exploded.

At the stime, it scattered like fireworks, forming the tail of a fairy made of flames in the middle.

"How is it?"

Evan asked Lucy after finishing her performance.

"How boring. Fireworks can do the sthing."

After watching Evan's magic, Lucy revealed a pair of bored eyes and looked at Evan.

"This little kid, Lucy was really not cute when she was young. No wonder the heavens wanted to give you a demon and torture you for the rest of your life..."

After listening to Lucy, the corners of Evan's eyes twitched slightly. He now understood the feeling of Jude wanting to beat up little Lucy.

"Lucy, what are you saying?"

After listening to Lucy, Jude frowned and criticized her.

"Of course! Magic is omnipotent and magical. The magic just now was not magical at all."

After listening to Jude's words, Lucy spoke in a tender voice.

"Lucy magic is not as omnipotent as you think. There is no omnipotent magic in this world!"

After listening to Lucy, Jude frowned and said sternly.

"Magic should be able to do it. What we usually can't do is called magic! This is how it is written in the story book! If there is magic, if there is magic, dad and mom won't have to worry every day, right? Can everyone smile like before?"

After listening to Lucy, Jude's tears began to flow again.

"Lucy!"

Hearing Lucy's words, Jude was stunned. He had thought that he had been very secretive, but he did not expect Lucy to discover his anxiety. This made him feel a pain in his heart.

"I'm sorry, it's father's fault. Please forgive father..."

Jude bent down and walked in front of Lucy.

"Hmph..."

Lucy ignored him, but her soft little hands hugged her even tighter.

Layla did not say anything. She only hugged Lucy lovingly and caressed Lucy's back.

"This child..."

"So you think magic is such a magical thing?"

Evan, on the other side, was stunned after hearing Lucy's words. He did not expect magic to be so magical in the eyes of the young Lucy.

It would be too cruel to expose a child's pursuit of magic like this...

Evan thought of her thoughts when she was younger with Lucy in her previous life. She was also full of fantasies about all kinds of magical things, hoping that one day the things that she had imagined could appear in front of him.

It was a pity that what he had been looking forward to when he was young was not present, but he could fulfill Lucy's dream.

"Lucy, magic is indeed omnipotent. Magic is the power of the soul. As long as you firmly believe that magic is omnipotent, then you can definitely find that so-called omnipotent magic!"

Just as Jude was at a loss on how to coax Lucy, Evan suddenly spoke.

This made Lucy, who was crying on Layla's arm, turn around and look at Evan...
