"What's wrong, Mirajane?"

Lucy and George turned around.

Mirajane grabbed Lucy with one hand and George with the other. "I hope you two can join Ailusha and the others tomorrow."

"What? Me?"

Lucy's face showed disbelief; she felt her strength wouldn't contribute much.

However, George's eyes lit up as he quickly deduced the reason they were being summoned.

Sure enough, Mirajane patiently explained, "Lucy, Natsu and Gray will definitely be bickering with Ailusha, so you'll need to help keep them in check.

George, your role is even more critical. Whether the guild master can walk out of the next evaluation meeting alive depends on you!"

"Mirajane… that's a bit much. Okay… I'll do my best."

George couldn't help but twitch his mouth at her dramatic claim, but under Mirajane's gentle and expectant gaze, he agreed.

It was clear that Mirajane was worried about the chaos that might ensue if Ailusha, Natsu, and Gray teamed up, and she wanted George to assist with his repair magic to mitigate any damage.

Given the care he had received from the guild master and the various mages of Fairy Tail during this time, he felt he couldn't refuse.

Moreover, he was genuinely curious about the trouble Ailusha had encountered. If even an S-Class mage considered it a problem, could it possibly involve clues about the Dragon Slayer Crystals?

In fact, before he created the Super Wand, he might not have agreed to this.

Any issue that posed a challenge to an S-Class mage would undoubtedly carry significant danger. With his previous strength, he could easily have been caught in the crossfire, risking injury or even death.

But now, with the Super Wand, his power had dramatically increased, amplifying many spells by nearly tenfold. He felt that even if he encountered danger, he could escape if he couldn't win.

Seeing George agree, Lucy felt too embarrassed to decline, nodding in agreement, albeit with a mix of worry and excitement.

Her worries stemmed from the dangers they might face, while her excitement came from the realization that this was the adventure she had been seeking when she left her privileged life to join Fairy Tail!

The next day, at Magnolia City train station.

George arrived early, carrying a small backpack, and he pulled out a spellbook to read.

Although it was called a small backpack, on George's feline form, it was about the size of a pouch.

But don't underestimate this pouch-sized bag; thanks to the Super Wand's application of the Seamless Expansion Spell, its interior space was comparable to a small 40-square-meter room.

With such ample storage, he could bring several spellbooks to read on the way, allowing him to continue studying and learning magic outside of battle time.

He had already grasped the basics of Giant Magic and Light Magic and was gradually exploring other types of magic, particularly the simpler ones that could aid him in combat.

"George!"

About five minutes later, a familiar voice interrupted his reading—it was Lucy, who had also arrived early.

Today, Lucy wore a yellow tank top paired with a blue mini skirt, accentuating her figure, and the way she moved caused George to steal a few extra glances.

Without a doubt, in terms of figure, Lucy was among the most striking female mages he had seen in Fairy Tail.

Shortly after Lucy's arrival, Natsu, Happy, and Gray showed up, but as soon as Natsu and Gray met, they immediately began arguing again.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting!"

Just as the train was about to depart, Ailusha finally appeared, pulling a large cart.

"Why do you have so much luggage?"

Lucy was instantly shocked, looking at the dozens of packed suitcases on the cart. Who brings this much luggage for a mission?

Happy quietly commented, "Ailusha has a bit of a compulsion; she insists on bringing all her clothes every time she goes on a mission."

"Looks like she has quite a few magical weapons and armor."

George was less concerned about Ailusha's luggage and more interested in her magical weapons and armor.

Having learned about the characteristics of Transmutation Magic in detail at the library, he understood that the storage space created by such magic was not limited to just weapons; it could also hold various everyday items.

However, most Transmutation mages had limited strength, so being able to store even one or two magical weapons was already impressive, and they often couldn't fit anything else.

But for an S-Class mage like Ailusha, her storage space would undoubtedly be quite large.

The fact that Ailusha hadn't placed those bags in her space meant that her storage must be filled with plenty of magical weapons and armor.

It made sense; the rewards for S-Class missions were substantial, so she likely wouldn't be short on funds.

"Ailusha, if you don't mind, you can put your luggage in my magical pouch."

After a moment's thought, he set down his backpack and stepped forward to make the offer.

He had three main objectives for this mission.

The first was to repay the resources and assistance he had received from the guild during this time.

The second was to see if he could gather any information about the Dragon Slayer Crystals.

The third was to build good relationships with the guild's most powerful mages, which might prove useful in the future.

For instance, if he learned about the Dragon Slayer Crystals but faced a powerful enemy, he could ask these mages, who owed him favors, for help instead of fighting alone.

"George, you actually have a rare space magic item! That would be a huge help!"

Seeing George stuff his large spellbook into his small backpack, Ailusha's eyes lit up as she quickly guessed that his little backpack was a rare space magic item. She immediately nodded with delight.

Placing the small backpack on the ground, George activated the magnetic force, causing a wand with iron rings embedded in it to fly out and into his hand.

"Rapid Transport!"

As he activated the Item Relocation Spell, the suitcases began to line up and automatically floated into the small backpack on the ground as he waved the wand.

"Wow!"

Seeing this scene, Ailusha and the others looked on in astonishment.

Although George's magic didn't pack much power, it appeared uniquely artistic.

Whether repairing items, cleaning up, or, as today, lining up suitcases to enter the backpack, it all looked impressive.

"I'm not very good at combat, but I know some support magic that I hope can help you," George said humbly as he slung the backpack back on.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't plan to take part in the fighting himself. After all, the enemies this time were not the low-level mages he had faced before, and there was some risk involved.

He could use his Har Magic for support, playing the role of a gold medal assistant.

"No need for you to fight; just leave all the enemies to me, Natsu, Gray, and Lucy!"

Ailusha patted her chest, making her armor clang.

Lucy's expression soured slightly; she wanted to tell Ailusha that her own strength wasn't that great and she couldn't defeat a giant gorilla with just one finger.
