After a morning of theoretical explanations, and an afternoon of meditation and perception, none of the children in the village had yet sensed magic or awakened their magic.
This inevitably made Weston Lagrange feel a little disappointed, and he even began to doubt his own teaching abilities.
But he quickly stopped the self-doubt.
There is absolutely no problem with my teaching ability, the children just need more time!
Normally, it takes one to three days to sense magic.
If there are still no results after three consecutive days of cultivation in the correct way, then either they have no talent, or they lack a bit of mental stimulation.
In the original work, Erza awakened her Knight magic when she was tortured in the Tower of Paradise.
In this life, I also awakened my magic because of sadness when my parents died.
Also Mavis and Zera, both of them awakened their magic more than a month ago on the night when Blue Skull attacked Tenrou Island, under intense emotional fluctuations.
It can be seen that magic is closely related to the mind, spirit, emotions, etc.
Now the children on the island are too well protected. They go to Schoolhouse well every day and grow up healthily. Their emotional fluctuations are not significant, and their desire for power is not so strong, so naturally they cannot awaken their magic on their own.
"Forget it, forget it..."
"There are still two days, let's see."
Fortunately, the children didn't make Weston wait too long.
The next day when they went to Schoolhouse, some children said that they had sensed magic when they went home to cultivate last night, and awakened their own magic.
"Let me tell you, my dad was about to hit me with a cane at the time..."
In the Schoolhouse, a chubby boy was surrounded by other children, vividly and endlessly describing the process of his magic awakening last night.
"When I got emotional, I suddenly could sense the magic in my body, and then I awakened my magic along the way!"
Everyone was amazed when they heard this: "Your emotions must have been quite agitated at the time!"
"So, what magic did you awaken?"
The chubby boy proudly raised his chubby double chin: "It's Shield Magic."
"I can strengthen the defense of anything and use them as shields to resist other people's attacks."
"For example, the clothes I wear, this book, this table, and even the air!"
"But this magic is ineffective against animals and humans."
Most magic is ineffective against living organisms. This common sense had already been learned in yesterday's class, so hearing this limitation at the end was not too surprising.
"With this magic, you won't be afraid of fighting with others in the future, right?"
"More than that?!"
The chubby boy laughed loudly: "I don't have to be afraid of my dad's cane anymore. He broke seven canes in a row last night and couldn't break through my defense. He was so angry that his face turned red..."
The boys were all envious of the chubby boy.
"So awesome!"
"With such powerful magic, it should be difficult for you to get hurt in the future, right?"
"Of course!"
After the chubby boy finished speaking, he looked at the little girl sitting not far in front of him and said loudly: "Yanzi, Yanzi, if you encounter any danger in the future, hide behind me, I will protect you!"
The little girl named Yanzi turned around, glanced at the chubby boy, and said lightly: "No need, Sword will protect me. He also awakened his magic last night."
Sword is Yanzi's deskmate, and he is quite handsome, so he is very popular among the girls in the class.
Seeing his 'secret' revealed by his deskmate, Sword felt shy: "Oh! Yanzi, why did you say it? I was thinking of giving Boss a surprise later."
The surrounding children immediately surrounded him when they saw him admit it: "Sword, Sword, what magic did you awaken?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Sword had to answer: "It's Sword Magic."
"The effect is similar to Hughde's Shield Magic, it can strengthen the attack power of anything and use them as Swords."
"Wow - sounds so cool!"
"Really? I personally think it's pretty average..."
"That's not true! With this magic, you can protect Yanzi in the future, right?"
Pfft—!
Looking at the scene in front of him, especially seeing his favorite front deskmate Yanzi staring at Sword intently, the Hughde teenage chubby boy suddenly felt as if his heart had been stabbed hard by a knife.
What's going on?
Didn't I just awaken Shield Magic last night, which can defend against physical and magical attacks?
Why do I still feel pain now?
Wuwuwu... After Weston came to the classroom, he immediately heard the news that Hughde and Sword had awakened their magic, and he felt very happy.
"Very good, very good..."
"The two of you awakened your magic on the same day, and one uses a Sword and the other uses a shield. It is a perfect match. I believe this must be an arrangement of the God of Magic!"
"You must get along well in the future and become each other's bond!"
"Whether our Fairy Tail can resound throughout Ishgar in the future depends on your performance!"
Sword: "Huh?"
Hughde: "Hehe..."
Weston: "??"
Hughde and Sword were like a signal for the residents of Tenrou Village to awaken their magic.
After the two of them, within a short week, the other children in the class also awakened all kinds of magic one after another.
Requip, elements, Take Over, Telepathy... Little Mages sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, vying to bloom.
A week later, except for Weston, Mavis, and Zera, 56 of the remaining 70 children in the village had awakened their magic.
This change immediately aroused great attention from the adults on the island.
You know, in the past few decades, such a situation has never occurred on Tenrou Island.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of magic awakening among the island's residents is one per year.
Now that more than 50 people have suddenly appeared, it is inevitable that people will have concerns, and even suspect that Weston may have used some means that violate natural ethics.
Fortunately, after inspection, no problems were found.
In the end, everyone could only think that Blue Skull took away the tenrou jade, and the dark aura wrapped around it left Tenrou Island, so the magic talent of the island's residents was no longer suppressed, and they could finally show their talents.
Weston felt helpless after hearing this rumor.
In order to dispel everyone's concerns, he had to convene another village meeting to explain the ins and outs——
The children on the island have awakened their magic one after another, not because of the departure of the tenrou jade, but for other reasons, the most important of which is——
The magic power in the world is a fixed value.
After the end of the Dragon Era, the huge magic power left the dragon race and gradually returned to nature!
