Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 499 Erza's Teaching Time (Second Update)

"Hiss~"

Upon hearing Jerry's words, all the mages in the hall gasped in shock.

They knew that Jerry was skilled in spatial magic and could open portals to any place.

But I never expected that such a convenient and portable life magic could be used in this way.

Imagine being teleported tens of thousands of meters in the air and unable to fly—wouldn't that be terrifying?

It's practically the nemesis of mages who can't fly!

The key point is that most mages in this world do not have the ability to fly.

"Jerry, Laxus"

A hint of worry appeared on Makarov's face.

However, before he could finish speaking, Jerry interrupted him:

"Don't worry, President, I wouldn't do anything to hurt my teammate. I'll put him down in a little while!"

Makarov thought for a moment. Unlike Natsu, Jerry had always been the more reliable type, so he didn't say anything more.

Moreover, he felt that his grandson had always had psychological problems, and that teaching him a lesson to let him know his place was not necessarily a bad thing.

Laxus is powerful, but there are still quite a few powerful mages in this world.

"Well done!"

Erza, who was standing nearby, reached out and hugged Jerry tightly.

She had always disliked Laxus, but as a guild mage, she had to consider the bigger picture. She never expected that Jerry would stand up for her today.

"Bang!"

Jerry's forehead collided with Erza's hard armor on her chest, like the morning bell of a temple at sunrise, producing a continuous echo.

"Let's head to the city soon, or that magic item shop will be closing down."

After Erza released him, Jerry touched his forehead and said helplessly.

If Erza were wearing normal clothes, this hug would actually be a pretty good perk.

Unfortunately, Erza always wore sturdy armor, so if his body hadn't been different from ordinary people, he probably would have gotten a big bump on his forehead from that hug.

However, he also knew that this was Erza's way of expressing her gratitude.

After all, he had seen Natsu, Gray, and even the Chairman "enjoy" this kind of treatment before.

At this moment, Lucy also came over upon hearing this:

"Can I come along? I want to see what a shop that can make custom armor for Erza is like!"

"Count me in!"

"And me!"

"Ai!"

Gray, Natsu, and Happy also joined in.

And so, the five people and the cat left the guild together and headed towards the magical artifact shop that Erza had recommended in the city.

After half an hour.

After exchanging words with the reluctant owner of the magical artifact shop, the five people and one cat arrived at a lawn in the forest east of the Fairy Tail guild.

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy went fishing in the stream near the lawn, while Gray took a bath in the stream.

Meanwhile, Erza, on the lawn, was preparing to formally teach Jerry her self-created knight costume magic.

"I just noticed that the boss seemed reluctant to help forge the magical armor?"

When I went to the magic item shop, the shop owner's expression when he saw Erza wasn't one of welcome for a big customer; instead, he looked like he had a headache.

"Really? But their shop didn't do magic armor crafting before; they only started doing it after I went there."

Erza thought for a moment and replied.

"Forehead"

For some reason, a picture suddenly popped into Jerry's mind.

Erza walked into the magic item shop and asked the clerk if they could make magical armor that met her requirements. The clerk said they didn't do that kind of business, and then Erza knocked him down with a headbutt. She then went to ask the next person.

In the end, to save his own life, the shop owner reluctantly agreed to try to make a magical armor specifically for Erza, and only then was Erza spared.

"You've known about regular costume-changing magic before, haven't you?"

Before beginning to explain the Knight Transformation Magic, Erza asked Jerry a question.

Jerry nodded:

"I bought a spellbook about basic costume magic at a magic shop in town."

Seeing that Jerry wasn't entirely ignorant about the magic of changing clothes, Erza smiled, appearing quite satisfied.

"In fact, the essence of costume magic is a combination of spatial magic and contract magic."

First, you must use your magic to develop a special space within your body that belongs exclusively to you. Then, store the contracted weapon within the space and quickly summon it when needed.

My knight's costume change works on the same principle, but it's important to note that while you can use a normal weapon as soon as it's summoned, there's an issue of wearing the armor.

How to solve this wearable problem is the focus of my next discussion.

And so, with Erza's explanation, Jerry gained a deeper understanding of dress-up magic.

Before its inception, the transformation magic was a portable magic developed by mages who preferred close combat, in order to make it easier to carry magical weapons.

It was only through continuous improvement that the complete magic system we have today came to be.

The strength of a transformation mage depends on two factors: their melee combat ability and the quality of their magical weapons, as well as the extent of their skill development and the speed at which they can summon and switch magical weapons.

A normal mage can store at most one or two magical weapons, while a stronger mage might store three to five.

Someone like Erza, who can not only store dozens of weapons but also more than a dozen sets of armor, is truly gifted.

This is one of the reasons why, despite her powerful knight transformation abilities, no one is willing to learn how to use her.

However, Jerry doesn't need to worry about this at all, as he is a master when it comes to spatial magic.

Although the costume-changing mage creates a special space within his body, while he creates a space within his ring, there are still many similarities in principle.

Moreover, this method of creating space within the body to store weapons and retrieve them at any time is somewhat similar to the method he learned from the Li family's weapon-refining elder: refining magical artifacts to incorporate them into the dantian.

Based on his previous comprehensive experiments, he quickly found the key and rapidly created a super-large space of several thousand square meters within his body.

It can hold not just a dozen or so sets of armor, but hundreds of sets.

The next step is to learn how to make a pact with magical weapons and armor, and gradually invest in their spiritual cultivation, so that they can be instantly equipped each time they are summoned.

However, this kind of knowledge cannot be explained in a day or two, and we will have to wait until the corresponding armor is made and then spend time trying it out.

He wasn't worried, because the principles of many spells are the same; all he lacked was that fleeting moment of inspiration.
