Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

For this reason, after thinking for a long time, Animus finally thought of a method to deal with August, and that was to cultivate Sonyaʼs own power. If Sonya could cultivate the Dragon Slayer Magic inside her body to nearly great completion and fully release dragon power, then as long as he and Sonya worked together, the magic power within their bodies would certainly reach an unimaginable level. At that time, perhaps even Magic King August might not be their opponent…

”I understand. I will definitely work hard!”

Sonya nodded hard, indicating that she would definitely train hard and strive to grow to the point where she could help Animus.

”Mm…”

Animus looked at the obedient Sonya and nodded in satisfaction.

Animus looked at the obedient Sonya and sighed inwardly. As fellow hosts, Sonya was indeed far more outstanding than the hosts found by Fire Dragon King Igneel and the Iron Dragon!

Although he definitely could not defeat Fire Dragon King Igneel in this lifetime, his Dragon Slayer Magic inheritor Sonya absolutely would not lose to that low-IQ-looking thing, the Fire Dragon Kingʼs son…

”Hehe~”

Thinking of this, Animus revealed a joyful smile. Perhaps even Animus himself had not noticed that he had unknowingly entered the mindset of an old father.

”Um, Your Majesty Animus…”

Sonya first froze slightly as she looked at Animus with a wicked smile, then tentatively asked.

”Do not call me Your Majesty Animus. Just call me Animus. I have not been king for many days already!”

After hearing Sonyaʼs words, Animus shook his head. He had Sonya change how she addressed him.

”Uh, okay, Your Maj—Animus…”

After hearing this, Sonyaʼs expression carried some hesitation. She first tentatively looked at Animus, softly calling Animusʼs name, then opened her watery eyes and looked at Animus like this.

”Mm.”

Animus lightly nodded, signaling Sonya to continue speaking.

”Animus…” Seeing that Animus was not angry, the corners of Sonyaʼs mouth slightly rose. Incomparably delighted inwardly, she continued, ”What should we do next? Where do you plan to start teaching me Dragon Slayer Magic?”

”Uh, this…”

After hearing this, Animus froze. He was stumped by Sonyaʼs question. Right now, there was a very serious problem. He had never taught anyone how to use magic, and he basically did not know how to teach others how to use magic…

Animusʼs situation was very complicated. In the past, he always maintained distance from humans. Even after establishing the Kingdom of Stella, he rarely appeared before humans, simply because Animus looked down on humans from the bottom of his heart. He was dismissive toward the magic humans cultivated.

Therefore, Animus did not understand how humans cultivated magic. Most importantly, not only had Animus never taught others how to use magic, he himself also had no experience cultivating magic. Whether his father or his mother, neither had ever taught him how to use magic.

The dragon magic Animus used was not cultivated by Animus. Dragons were like the favored children of magic power, descendants of the God of Magic. To dragons, something like magic was like breathing. They naturally learned it when they were born. A dragonʼs roar was like humans spitting outward, a dragonʼs Crushing Fist was simply humans swinging a fist, and a dragonʼs Wing Attack was using the huge wings on their bodies to slap enemies…

Therefore, in this world, no dragon would deliberately learn magic. Of course, there were also some dragons who pursued power and trained themselves, but dragon training was no different from suicide for humans…

”Animus?!”

Sonya looked at Animus, who was silent on her shoulder, her eyes carrying some doubt as she softly asked.

”Indeed, I also do not know how to teach you Dragon Slayer Magic, but the problem is not big…”

After remaining silent for a long while, Animus gave Sonya a reply.

”Although I do not have experience teaching others Dragon Slayer Magic, others do!”

”We can learn the use of Dragon Slayer Magic from the children of Fire Dragon King Igneel, Grandeeney, and Metalicana!”

Animusʼs eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth slightly rising as he made a decision.

”Uh…”

”Animus, secretly learning other peopleʼs things like that is not good, right?”

Sonyaʼs delicate brows slightly furrowed. These days, with Evanʼs help, she had already become familiar with Natsu and the other Dragon Slayer Mages.

Therefore, Sonya believed they should not secretly learn other peopleʼs cultivation methods. This kind of thing was very taboo among Mages.
