Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Gemini, Angel from Oración Seis

A handsome, blonde man stepped forward, spreading his hands in confusion. "Nate-san, you're saying there's a traitor? Surely you're joking?"

Nate paused for a moment, then corrected himself. "Sorry, I should be more precise. It's not a 'traitor'—'impostor' would be a better word."

Impostor?

Seeing Nate wasn't joking, the expressions of the seven became more serious.

As a Wizard Saint and the creator of the Magic Net, Nate was already someone they were inclined to believe.

The seven in the hall represented two different mage guilds, some of whom were Nate's acquaintances.

"We meet again, Nate," Lyon said with a grin.

"And you are?" Nate asked.

Lyon's smile faltered, and he reminded Nate, "Lyon Vastia, from the Galuna Island incident and the Moon Drip ritual! During the Tower of Heaven event, Jura worked with you, and you even asked him about me. Surely you remember?"

"I was just messing with you. You all looked so serious," Nate chuckled lightly. He then asked curiously, "By the way, where's Jura?"

"Jura is on another task, pursuing the Grimoire Heart," Lyon replied.

While the Oración Seis were being dealt with by the alliance, the Grimoire Heart was still a significant threat.

Nate thought to himself, 'Hopefully, Jura doesn't run into trouble. The Grimoire Heart is far stronger than the Oración Seis.'

Lyon's curiosity got the better of him as he locked eyes with Nate. "After the Galuna Island incident, I took your advice and explored the Internet."

"How do you like it?"

"It's... interesting. No, more than that—it's a magnificent form of magic!" Lyon nodded, then noticed Ultear standing beside Nate.

'She looks... familiar, but I can't be sure...'

Ultear smiled softly, her lips curling. "You're not wrong. I'm Ur's daughter, Ultear."

So it was true!

Lyon was shocked, remembering how their master, Ur, had once mentioned having a daughter, though she said she had passed away.

'Turns out she's alive...'

"Let's save the reminiscing for later," interrupted a short, stout man with messy brown hair and a sleazy expression. He swaggered forward, flicking his hair dramatically.

"Nice to meet you, members of Fairy Tail. I'm Ichiya, born for your pleasure! Sparkling!"

'Stay away... this guy's creepy...' Nate thought, feeling a chill. If he closed his eyes, Ichiya's voice could almost belong to a villain from another world.

Nate vaguely remembered Ichiya. He had met him before during a Fairy Tail meeting with Blue Pegasus when Erza had gone with the guild master. Ichiya had fallen in love with Erza at first sight, only to be beaten up when he tried to pursue her.

"It's such a pity that Erza isn't here," Ichiya continued, striking more poses. "But meeting the creator of the Magic Net makes this trip worthwhile!"

"Nice to meet you," Nate greeted him with a resigned smile.

Introductions followed, and the Blue Pegasus guild had sent four mages: Ichiya, Hibiki, Eve, and Ren.

From Lamia Scale, only Lyon and Sherry had arrived, as Jura was on another mission.

Nate glanced at a blonde girl holding a fruit plate. "And who's that?"

"Hello, Nate. I'm Jenny Realight," the girl said with a smile, her pink dress swaying as she moved. Her smile barely concealed the frustration in her eyes.

'Finally, I get to meet you!'

Jenny had been messaging Nate online, but he never responded, making her doubt her charm. Now, seeing him in person, she was determined to confront him.

"I'm not here to fight. I'm just here to serve. Would you like something to drink?"

'I hope you're not poisoning it,' Nate thought before saying, "Now that we're all acquainted, let's return to the main issue."

Everyone's expressions grew more serious.

"One of you is an impostor," Nate repeated.

"It's not me, and it's not Sherry," Lyon quickly said, glancing at the four members of Blue Pegasus. "The impostor is one of you."

Hibiki shook his head. "Impossible. We've been together for hours."

Ichiya rubbed his chin thoughtfully and snapped his fingers. "Nate-san, just to confirm, you said it's an impostor, correct?"

"Yes."

"Some kind of transformation magic? Or something similar?"

At this moment, Meredy raised her hand, displaying her Magic Net ring. Her face remained expressionless as she said, "The Magic Net accounts are unique. If you want to confirm who the impostor is, you can check using these."

Though she didn't know why Nate hadn't explained this earlier, Meredy figured it would make things easier.

Ultear patted her head, smiling warmly. "You're so smart, Meredy."

Meredy blushed slightly.

Nate also praised her. "Very clever, Meredy."

Happy added, "Genius, Meredy."

Natsu, confused, muttered, "...?"

Embarrassed, Meredy lowered her head.

Ichiya and the others exchanged glances. "That's a good idea. Let's all show our Magic Net profiles."

He took the lead, activating his ring. A translucent interface appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed, revealing their Magic Net profiles.

"Everyone has one?" Sherry said, stunned. "Could it be, Nate-san, that you made a mistake?"

"No!" Ichiya's gaze sharpened, locking onto Jenny. "Jenny, though I don't want to doubt you, can you show your Magic Net profile?"

Everyone turned to look at Jenny, who hadn't shown her profile yet. She stood smiling.

Suddenly, she giggled. "Hehehehe..." Her voice turned strange, unnatural.

"So you've already figured me out? I was planning to wait until everyone arrived before poisoning you all at once."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body dissolved into a cloud of white mist. From the mist emerged two small, floating blue spirits.

"Failed, huh?"

"Yes, we failed."

"Jenny's always been obsessed with trying to lure Nate into Blue Pegasus."

"She admires Mirajane, and her competitive spirit in proving her charm rivals no one else's."

"Hehehehehe..."

Everyone stared in shock at the scene.

"What... what is this?" Hibiki cried out.

"Zodiac spirit twins, Gemini," Nate explained calmly, addressing the floating blue spirits. "Where's your master?"

"We can't say."

"Won't tell you."

"The mission failed."

"So goodbye~"

With that, Gemini vanished in a puff of smoke, returning to the Celestial Spirit World.

Ultear, arms crossed, smiled knowingly. "One of the Oración Seis, Angel, is a celestial spirit mage."

As the former leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Ultear knew all about the Oración Seis members.

"Damn, they got away!" Lyon said in frustration.

"Everyone, stay here. I'll bring them back," Nate said, his eyes narrowing as his 'Six Eyes' activated to their fullest.

In an instant, he detected all magic energy flows within a ten-kilometer radius.

"Found her."

...

In the forest not far from the villa.

Under a large tree, Gemini was reporting back to their master.

"We were discovered by the Wizard Saint, Nate."

"His eye magic is really strong~"

"Hehehehehe..."

Angel sighed, realizing her plan had failed. "I guess it wasn't going to be that easy. Oh well, I might as well head back to play some mahjong..."

Before she could finish, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky.

With a heavy thud, Nate landed.

"Hello, Miss Oración Seis," Nate greeted her with a smile. "Since you're already here, why not join us at the villa?"
