"By the way, Wendy, you should come back to the guild with me." "Is something wrong?" "Natsu's egg is about to hatch. It should be tomorrow." "But—" Wendy turned to look at the incubator. Noah just smiled. "You can bring it back with you." "Really?" Wendy asked, her face full of surprise. Noah nodded. "Of course. I've checked this egg; it's very healthy and stable. While teleporting with it is out of the question, walking back with it will be fine." "But it's so far away. I'm afraid I won't make it in time." Wendy looked down at her own short legs, thought about the distance to Magnolia, and concluded that it would be very difficult to get back to Fairy Tail by tomorrow. "Did you forget about me?" Noah asked with a sigh, seeing her struggle. Wendy looked at him, confused. "Didn't you say we can't use teleportation, Big Brother Noah?" "That's not the only magic I know. And your Enchantment magic is very powerful, you know." Noah checked the time and saw that there were still two or three hours until sunset. That was enough time. "Let's head back now," he said to her. Although Wendy was a little confused, she still followed Noah to say goodbye to Roubaul. "Goodbye, Grandpa Roubaul!" "Goodbye, Wendy! Remember to come and visit often!" Roubaul said with a huge smile, then gave a nod to Noah. Noah nodded in return and then left with Wendy. Once they were outside the village, Wendy looked at him with a puzzled expression. "How are we getting back?" "Watch closely, Wendy. This is the Enchantment magic you taught me, and what you'll be able to do in the future." Holding the incubator in his left arm, Noah stretched out his right hand, and a magic circle appeared before it. "All-Attribute Resistance Up—God's Crown!!" "Total Physical Ability Up—God's Knight!!" "Attack Power Double! Defense Power Double! Speed Double! Enchant!" Flashes of magical light passed over both Noah's and Wendy's bodies. Wendy suddenly felt as if her entire body was full of strength, and she felt incredibly light. She looked down at her fists in disbelief, then looked up at Noah, her voice sounding distant. "Is this the Enchantment magic Grandeeney taught me? Can I really be this powerful in the future?" "Of course. You have to have confidence. This is the magic your mother, Grandeeney, taught you. How could it possibly be weak? As long as you can use your Enchantment magic well, there will be a place for you on any team. You could even forget about teams and fight all by yourself. You can heal yourself and use enchantments to boost your combat power. As long as you grow, most combat-related problems won't be problems for you at all." "Mhm!" Although Wendy was naturally a bit lacking in confidence, seeing Noah demonstrate the power of her own magic gave her a huge boost. "Alright, now try running and see how fast you are. Don't worry, I'll be right beside you." Wendy tried to run, but with just a light push, she shot forward. While in the air, tears began to well up in her eyes. She wasn't used to this sudden increase in strength and couldn't quite control it. Just as she was about to crash headfirst into a tree, Noah appeared at her side, grabbed her arm, and helped her avoid the tree, landing smoothly on the ground. "You're just not used to the increased strength yet. After you try a few more times, you'll get the hang of it. Let's head back for now." Wendy calmed herself, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and took Noah's hand. They set off together. Thanks to the enchantments, their speed was not slow, much faster than a normal horse-drawn carriage. However, Wendy was still young and her stamina wasn't great. After walking for some time, she started to get tired and her pace slowed, but she didn't say anything, just tried her best to keep up. Noah, seeing her struggling, didn't say much either. He just constantly monitored her condition. When she had reached her limit, he would slow down to let her catch her breath and hand her a potion to replenish her fluids and nutrients. Once she had recovered, they would set off again. After two more rests, Noah saw that it was getting dark. He directly picked Wendy up and carried her on his back, then took off at full speed. They quickly returned to his home. They got back just as everyone was preparing dinner. The others were a little confused to see Noah carrying Wendy. Seeing their expressions, Noah knew what they were thinking. "It's nothing. Wendy's just a little tired." The others breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, their attention was drawn to the incubator in Noah's hands. Erza was the first to ask, "Isn't that the device Natsu is always carrying? The egg inside—it's different from his. Did you find a new one?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⦿fire.net Noah placed the incubator on the table and set Wendy down. "Mhm. This was found near a senior's house. Wendy often visits him, so he gave it to her. She's been taking care of it over there for the past few days. Today I saw that Natsu's egg was about to hatch, and I checked that this one was also healthy, so I brought it back." Sorano walked over, circled the incubator, and then said to Noah, "Natsu and Wendy both have eggs . I want one too. Go find one for me!" Noah rolled his eyes. "They were both lucky to find them. Where am I supposed to find one for you?" Sorano was just saying it casually and continued to look at the device. "Let's help Wendy take care of this egg too!" Erza suggested. Wendy was overjoyed. "Really?" "Of course. But you'll be the main one taking care of it. We'll just help out a little," Erza said seriously. Wendy was ecstatic. "Mhm! Thank you all so much!" The others thought it sounded interesting and all decided to help. In reality, there wasn't much to do other than watch the nutrient level, refill it when it got low, and keep an eye on the indicator light to see if it changed color. The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Wendy woke up very early. The first thing she did was check the incubator by her bed. Seeing that nothing had changed, she was relieved. After washing up, everyone went to the guild together. Noah had said that Natsu's egg would hatch today at the latest, so no one went to train. They all wanted to see what would come out of it.
