99 Learning Magic is Easy

The sound of rustling waves, soft white sandy sand, and smell of an ocean.

Bourne took a deep breath and loved this place so much. He really thought that after he returned, he should relocate his house to nearby to the ocean. He thought that he should buy a village or a city right on the nearby on Hargeon after he returned then opened his own fisheries business or resort later, but then his thought was broken when he heard Juvia's voice.

"Why are we here, Bourne-sama?" Juvia asked while staring at the ocean. She also loved the ocean, especially when she visited it together with her loved one, but it was impossible since Ultear was right beside him, and this woman even provoked her by holding Bourne's arm. She bit her white handkerchief and stared at Ultear in jealousy since she wanted to do the same, however, she was too shy and she was afraid to be rejected.

Ultear looked at Juvia's reaction and couldn't help but smile since this girl was too funny.

When Juvia saw Ultear was smiling, she really wanted to shoot out a ball of water at Ultear, but she didn't do anything and only felt frustated.

After Bourne's invitation, Juvia didn't hesitate to follow Bourne. She had to admit that it felt great to stay with him since she didn't need to worry about the rain anymore since the rain was being stopped by Bourne.

Juvia also learned that Bourne's magic was similar to her and he also told her that he would teach her how to control her magic better which made her very happy.

Juvia didn't have anywhere to go and she also didn't have any place that she could return to. She also didn't have a good memory in her hometown so when Bourne reached her at that time, she felt very happy and her heart blossomed in happiness.

'If only....'

Juvia looked at Bourne and Ultear who were holding hands and had already known that both of them were engaged to each other which made her very envious. She wasn't sure, but she could tell that there might be some story between Bourne and Ultear. She might not have heard that story from either Bourne or Ultear's mouth, but even so, she could tell it from her woman's instinct.

However, even if Juvia knew that both Bourne and Ultear were engaged to each other, it didn't make her reject Bourne's invitation since it was her first time for someone to appreciate her this much and stopped the rain that usually came toward her.

Juvia was very glad that she could come with Bourne, but...

Juvia sighed and wondered why she couldn't meet Bourne earlier. She started to imagine that she was Bourne's childhood friend and couldn't help but laugh pervertedly, then blushed when she thought that he would propose to her.

"....."

Ultear smiled and whispered, "This girl is funny."

"....."

Bourne didn't intend to comment about Juvia too much, but this time, he agreed with Ultear's view that Juvia was quite a funny girl.

"Juvia."

"What's wrong, Bourne-sama?"

"My purpose in coming here is to destroy Zeref's cult, so it is better for you to wait here since it is dangerous," Bourne said.

"What?!"

Juvia didn't care about Zeref's cult nor whether this trip was dangerous, but she was more cornered about why she couldn't come to this trip. "No! I'll come with you Bourne-sama. If this trip is so dangerous then it is better that you come with more help, right?" She was almost sold as a slave after all and even wanted to end her life so coming to the dangerous mission was nothing and she was afraid of being abandoned.

"....."

Bourne stared at Juvia's eyes that showed a determination. "Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"This is going to be an ugly scene since I'm going to bury them in the ocean," Bourne said since he felt that this scene might be a bit too much for Juvia.

"I know! But they're evil, right? I'll help you," Juvia said without hesitation.

"Just let her follow us. If you lose this battle I can't help you that much on the top of the sea, but Juvia can help us to escape," Ultear said since she felt that it was necessary to bring Juvia with them. She knew with her magic, she couldn't help her fiance from running away since they were on the top of ocean, but it was different when Juvia was with them.

Even though Juvia didn't really like Ultear, she nodded regardless since Ultear had decided to invite her.

"Yes! Yes! As long as there is water, I can move very fast!"

"....."

Bourne thought for a while and felt that it was necessary to bring Juvia since Juvia's magic was similar to his.

As long as there was water, Juvia was invincible, Bourne didn't think that it was wrong since he was also the same, but he also knew that it was better to bring more people since he also brought Juvia.

"Then go with us," Bourne said.

"Yay!"

Juvia was very happy, but then when she saw Ultear's smile, her mood became glum once again, but she nodded and thanked Ultear since without Ultear's words then she couldn't come with Bourne.

"Then let's go."

Bourne walked to the edge of the beach and could feel his feet getting wet because of the water. He put his shoes inside his car and didn't wear them with him since he felt more comfortable this way. He stood for a moment then suddenly something similar to a gigantic shark which was made out of water took shape. He walked on top of it and gestured to Ultear and Juvia to come.

Ultear and Juvia nodded and also stood on the top of this gigantic shark of water.

Ultear wasn't surprised, but Juvia was surprised since she had never thought to use her magic this way.

Juvia touched the gigantic shark and felt the texture of this water was quite different from the water that she usually used. If she was being asked to make a comparison then this gigantic shark in the water was probably similar to cotton.

"This kind of thing is easy to make. You can do it too in the future as long as you learn," Bourne said.

"Yes!" Juvia nodded with a smile.

Bourne also made an open space on the top of the gigantic shark of water and made a sofa on the edge of the space and a table in the middle of this space.

Ultear sat down and patted her thigh. "Bourne, rest first."

"...There's someone here," Bourne said.

"Why not?" Ultear said with a smile and said, "Don't you feel sleepy? You need to take a rest first before you destroy that Tower of Heaven."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Ultear nodded.

Looking at Ultear who was eager to give him a pillow lap, Bourne nodded and laid his head on the top of Ultear's soft and smooth thigh.

"...."

Juvia wasn't sure, but because of this, she had learned how to make boiling water with her "water" magic since at this moment, she was burning with jealousy.
