Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Don't worry, I'm safe."

Looking at the crashing waves, Fang Rui spoke calmly. With his own strength, there were few people in this world stronger than him…

Rather, those who might be stronger than him are merely background figures in the world, like Ankhseram...

"...Let's find a secluded place to hide. Things are a bit chaotic on the island right now."

"Like my RV?"

“...Okay.” After a pause, Erza replied.

The RV's defenses were indeed very strong, and its movement speed was fast enough to ensure someone's safety. After all, according to the intelligence she had gathered, apart from the frozen demon, no one else should be able to break through the RV's defenses...

Moreover, even if you can break through, you might not be able to hit the target.

After the call ended, Fang Rui glanced at the motionless fishing rod, then continued to hand-craft the devil...

Zeref's methods of creating demons do not rely entirely on the power of magic; they require the assistance of certain instruments.

Without the necessary equipment and knowledge, it would be impossible for him to replicate it. After all, creating a new extraordinary race from scratch is not something he can do through shortcuts...

The difficulty level is different!

For example, the magic technique "finger transformation" can change one object into another, such as turning a stone into a tree, grass into a pig, or leaves into clothes...

but……

Magic is ultimately just magic; it is not permanent.

To be precise, his level of magical skill was insufficient to completely change it.

Moreover, magic... is not omnipotent.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Rui felt that it wouldn't hurt to practice magic in his spare time, since there was no harm in it.

Thinking this, Fang Rui continued to knead the "figure," attempting to replicate the "demon" with his current knowledge and skills, but the result was...

Not a single success!

While "finger transformation" can change the physical form, it cannot give life to the body.

"It's really troublesome..."

Creating a basic version of Cthulhu is easy, but adding features to make it more powerful is incredibly difficult...

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary beings is right there!

The more he failed, the more Fang Rui realized how intelligent Jelf was; calling him a genius was no exaggeration.

After all, he drew the blueprints for the forbidden magic R system when he was a child, and later created amazing items such as Time Reversal Eclipse, Magic Pulse Bomb, and the Book of Zeref...

Describe him in one word...

Outrageous! ! !

If Zeref hadn't been hampered by the curse of contradictions and had been able to focus on being a research scholar, the technology tree in the Fairy Tail world would have achieved a rocket-like leap...

Perhaps we can reach the universe...

This is not an exaggeration; Fang Rui genuinely thinks this way. Just look at Jelf's research findings—is the above conclusion absurd?

I think... it's not outrageous! Not outrageous at all!!!

"I really want to take him back to his own world..."

As he said this, Fang Rui suddenly paused, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face...

It seems... feasible!

Through text simulation, he gained a wide range of knowledge.

Another world simulation involves acquiring items in another world...

The condition for an item to enter the simulated store is that it belongs to him, but how do you determine the ownership of a person?

And can a simulator create a person out of thin air?!

As for the option that the simulated world is real...

Fang Rui actually had a guess in his heart, but he had no way to verify it.

I'm just an ordinary cultivator, I don't have the ability to travel between worlds, how can you expect me to confirm that!

Since it's so real, just like the real world, let's treat it as the real world!

Fang Rui believed that both options were feasible given the power of the simulator...

So... as long as we can figure out how ownership is determined, it's possible to bring a genius home.

but……

The prerequisite is to resolve the two difficulties blocking the way: one is the determination of ownership, and the other is the curse of contradiction.

"No rush, take your time!"

"We can have someone else test it first!"

"But who should we turn to?"

Fang Rui fell into deep thought...

During this time, Natsu and his companions have defeated powerful enemies, and the problem of the demon villagers' memory confusion has been resolved.

The remaining problem is how to deal with the culprits, Leon and his gang who attempted to release the demon.

Although Leon and his companions did not harm anyone, the attempt to release a demon was already a very serious matter, yet it did not escalate into a major disaster...

Being stuck in this in-between range makes it difficult to manage.

In particular, Fairy Tail is a frequent target of the Magic Council's punishment, and handing someone over to the Magic Council for processing is the least desirable option among all choices.

After all, seeing the Magic Council's detention force and turning to run away has become an instinct for some members of Fairy Tail.

"What should we do?" As Leon's junior brother, Gray suggested how to deal with him, as a way to avoid suspicion.

“…What do we do? Let him go~ He’s not a bad guy anyway!” Natsu, with his simple thought process, said.

"Love!" Habib expressed his unconditional support.

"..." Lucy didn't interrupt; her impression of Leon and the others was rather ordinary.

This specifically refers to someone who manipulates puppets and mice, and has the worst reputation.

"Emmm..." Erza was a little conflicted.

It wouldn't be right not to punish them.

If punishment is to be imposed, how should it be carried out?

This guy, in particular, seems not to have given up and still has the idea of ​​breaking through the "absolute ice" and releasing Deliora to fight him.

Let him go like this, and before long you'll be able to gather another team to hold the ritual again to unseal the demon...

And then it was another S-rank mission!

What is sustainable development?

In fact, the key to this mission being rated S-rank was the frozen demon.

"How about taking him back to the guild and letting the guild leader handle it?" In the silence, Lucy timidly raised her hand and offered her suggestion.

...Should we contact the parents?

Erza and the others all showed expressions of refusal. The president deals with so many complaints and apologies every day, there's no need to continue to cause him trouble!

What are you doing here?

Fang Rui, carrying a fish basket and a fishing rod on his shoulder, met Natsu and the others on his way back to the village.

They stood opposite Leon and the others, discussing something, while Leon and the others had somewhat subtle expressions, seemingly feeling a bit aggrieved...

Because Fang Rui has excellent hearing, he can hear what Natsu and the others are discussing, but he doesn't rush to join in.

Upon seeing Fang Rui, Gray's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Fang Rui, you've come at the right time! What do you think they should do...?"

After he finished speaking, Gray recounted in detail what Leon and the others had done, while Lucy and the others on the side had subtle expressions.

Gray, are you really Leon's junior apprentice?

You've explained his mistake so clearly, and you've mentioned so many potential follow-up events...

You really want him to get a harsher sentence!

After hearing about the potential damage his actions might cause, Leon felt a pang of regret...

But he listened and listened...

Something was off; it sounded like Gray wanted to just pin him down and kill him.

Looking back on his apprenticeship experience, he realized that his relationship with Gray was quite good; there was no animosity between them...

"Stop!" Before Gray could continue explaining how dangerous it would be for Deliora to break the seal, Fang Rui called a halt.

Under Gray's questioning gaze, Fang Rui's tone was as calm as still water: "Gray, you are afraid..."

A simple sentence pierced Gray's heart like an arrow, leaving him instantly silent.

He was looking down, lost in thought.

The people standing nearby looked up in surprise...

Chapter 308 The Last Lingering Power

"Leon is obsessed with killing Deliora to prove that he has surpassed Uru."

"And you are fear, the fear that destroyed your homeland, the fear that killed Uru, the Deliora..."

"Did I say something wrong?"

Gray didn't say anything in response to Fang Rui's question. He silently raised his head and looked up at the night sky, his eyes hidden by his falling hair, making it impossible to see his gaze.

"You're right, I am indeed afraid."

Fang Rui punctured the thin film, and Gray calmly accepted his inner fears.

To be precise, besides fear, self-blame also occupied a significant portion of his feelings. After all, Uru's death could be said to have been caused by him.
