Chapter 81

Jennie Lia Wright: [BeautifulPicture1.jpg, BeautifulPicture2.jpg, BeautifulPicture3.jpg]

As an excellent top model, Jennie was a pro at taking photos. She quickly sent three selfies.

The blonde girl in the pictures knew exactly how to find the right angles, showcasing her charm with deliberate poses.

"Better than Ultear," Nate commented sincerely, impressed by the supermodel's skill.

Of course, Ultear was his girlfriend, but he had to admit Miss Witch's modeling prowess was remarkable.

With that thought, he sent another message.

Sigma Man: [Would you like to complete personal verification?]

Jennie: [What do I need to do?]

Sigma Man: [Write on a piece of paper, "I am Jennie Lia Wright, applying for personal verification," and then take a picture.]

Jennie: [Ugh, so much hassle… rolling_eyes.jpg]

Jennie: [Wait a minute.]

A short while later, Jennie sent the photo. Despite her complaints, she was serious about her work. In the image, she held a piece of paper with the required text in her left hand, while making a cute "V" pose and smiling.

Sigma Man: [Great photo. I'll add the verification mark now.]

At the same time, in the Blue Pegasus Guild:

Jennie soon saw a red verification label appear in the lower right corner of her username.

"This looks good," she thought happily.

Jennie: [Nate, I've sent you a lot of photos. Could you send me a few in return?]

Jennie: [I think you're very handsome~]

Jennie: [?]

Jennie: [Where did you go?]

Her messages went unanswered, and Jennie grew frustrated.

"You're ignoring me after getting what you wanted!"

Meanwhile, Nate wasn't deliberately ignoring her; he was focused on making a magic recovery potion. The process was complex, and it was his first time attempting it.

After over six hours, he finally produced his first bottle.

"Is this a magic recovery potion?" Uru asked, intrigued, as she watched Nate pour a blue liquid into a round bottle and seal it with a cork.

"It should restore about 2 stars of magic," Nate nodded.

"That's a lot of magic power! Can you drink it straight away?" Uru asked, still in awe.

She had watched the whole process, which seemed to require only basic herbs, with a total cost of no more than 5000J. In battles between wizards of similar strength, magic power could often be the deciding factor. This potion could change that dynamic entirely.

"Are you going to sell it?" she asked.

"No, it's too much trouble," Nate replied. "Do you know how it works?"

He explained that the potion acted like a power bank, storing magic that could be replenished later. When needed, drinking it would restore the stored magic power.

"A genius design!" Uru admired. "You're incredible to come up with something like this!"

"This thing has its limitations," Nate said, modestly. The system had provided the recipe; he merely followed the instructions. "The magic stored in the potion slowly dissipates over time. It remains effective for about a month, but after three months, it loses its potency."

He added, "It's also best if wizards make and use their own recovery potions. Everyone's magic power is different, so drinking someone else's potion could lead to unpredictable results."

Uru, a skilled magician herself, understood. Though there was a rare chance that drinking another's potion might trigger a phenomenon called "magic fusion," leading to a temporary boost in power, the risks were generally too high.

"Even so, it's a brilliant invention!" Uru exclaimed. "I'd love to peek into your mind to see how you come up with these things."

Knight chuckled. "Are you going to announce this to the magical world?"

"No, I'm just doing it for fun," Knight replied with a grin. "Studying magic is interesting in itself."

For Uru, who had once been hailed as a genius wizard, this casual attitude toward magic felt humbling. Compared to Knight, she felt like someone who only knew how to practice.

"I need a moment," Uru joked, rolling her eyes before retreating into the deep web.

Knight smiled and decided to pass this knowledge on to Ultear. Her magic was powerful, and learning how to recover it quickly would only strengthen her abilities.

Just as he was about to invite her to Magnolia for a hands-on lesson—since teaching such a complex skill online would be challenging—a message from Juvia popped up.

Juvia: [Lord Knight, I'm at Magnolia Station.]

"Huh?" Knight was surprised. The Magic Council's investigation of Phantom Lord's master had concluded so soon?

Without hesitation, he replied.

Sigma Man: [Wait there, I'll come pick you up.]

He left the villa immediately. Since his obsidian motorcycle was broken and he hadn't bought a replacement yet, he had to walk to the station. After a busy day of buying a villa, purchasing herbs, and brewing potions, the sun had already begun to set by the time he stepped outside.

At the station entrance, Knight soon spotted Juvia, who was brimming with joy as she hurried toward him.

"Mr. Knight!" she called out, her face glowing with happiness.

"I'm sorry, Juvia hasn't sent you any messages these past few days," she apologized nervously.

Knight smiled and gently patted her head. "No need to apologize. Let's go—I just bought a new house, and you'll be the first guest."

He naturally took her hand as they started walking.

Juvia's heart skipped a beat, her face turning bright red as her pulse raced. Holding hands with Lord Knight filled her with an overwhelming joy.

"There's no greater happiness!" she thought, barely able to contain her excitement.

"Let's buy some groceries first. Can you cook?" Knight asked.

Juvia, eager to please, nodded enthusiastically. "Juvia can cook!"

"Great, I'll leave dinner to you then," Knight said with a grin.

"Please leave it to me!" Juvia replied, clenching her fists in determination as if preparing for the most important exam of her life.

The two walked hand in hand to the vegetable market, and as they shopped, Knight suggested, "Now that Phantom Lord has been disbanded, why not join Fairy Tail?"

"Yes!" Juvia responded, her head swirling in a cloud of happiness. She was too overwhelmed to think clearly, so she simply nodded at everything.

Knight found her sudden dazed demeanor rather cute.

After finishing their shopping, they returned to Knight's new mansion on the outskirts of Magnolia.
