Fairy Tail: Transformation Mage

The next morning after after waking up Damian went to do his daily workout in the forest, running around jumping from tree to tree and picking up some fresh food materials. He then came back and took a bath to get rid of the seat and dirt and soon came out completely refreshed.

He then started preparing breakfast for both him and Irene and when it was about to be prepared he went towards the house to wake Irene up. He knocked on the door for a while till he heard something crashing on the ground. He chuckled thinking that it was Irene who fell from the bed but soon controlled himself so as to not let her know that he was laughing at her or there might be a beating session that he have to face.

Soon the door opened and a half awake Irene opened the door.

Damian who looked towards the door became stiff but he still said, "Breakfast is about to be ready, so hurry up." and then immediately went away.

Damian who was walking back thought, 'I have to ask her to do something about the clothes that she wear under those cloak, she is making my life very 'hard'. And how the hell can she wear such type of clothes, if she was feeling insecure.' He then stopped thinking for a while and then said, "But I have to say, her body is very curvy." and a slight blush appeared on his face.

He then sat down on the log and waited for Irene to come, which didn't take much time and both of them started eating.

While eating Damian looked at Irene and asked, "So when will you help me with my magic and traps?"

Irene looked up and said, "We can start once we finish eating but before that you have to tell me what your magic is and how it works, after that only would I be able to think of a way to help you."

Hearing that Damian's brows furrowed a bit and he said, "But doesn't that will make you aware about the strength and weaknesses of my magic, I don't feel quite comfortable with that."

Hearing that Irene thought for a while and then said, "Then how about I tell you about my magic as well, will it be fine with that."

Damian thought for a while and then said, "Fine, that seems acceptable."

After that both of them started to explain each other about their magic and once they were done Damian said, "So you are able to imbue your magic on other objects to improve their stats and apply different abilities to them damn, it cool, hmm looks like it is similar to my magic but better, you can make the affect last for any amount of time of you use enough magic power."

Irene nodded and said, "But I think your magic is quite good as well able to enhance your abilities without making any formation, unlike enchants, your enemy can't even predict what you did. In case of my enchants if someone knowledgeable in the art of enchantments were to face me then it will be a very difficult battle as that person can immediately counter my enchants by seeing their formations."

Damian nodded in understanding and then said, "Then do you have any idea how can I improve my magic?".

Irene nodded and said, "Hmm, I think you should work on increasing your magical power and efficiency to use magic first, to last longer in a battle, because in case of your magic the amount of magical power is the key, the more you have the stronger you can get or the longer you can fight, I think you should also train your body because it might break if you are not able to hold up to a very high amount of enhancement."

Damian thought for a while and then said, "And how should I do that?"

Hearing that Irene smirked and said, "By doing chores."

Damian looked at her with a weird expression on his face and said, "Wut?"

Irene kept on smiling and said, "Enhance your body to the maximum and do your normal chores without reducing the amount of enhancement. This way both your control over your body and magic power will increase."

Damian thought for a while and then enhanced his body to the maximum, and tried to stand up and immediately the ground under his feet cracked because of his strength but he ignored it and was about to walk away but Irene stopped him and said, "Ah ah ah, you cannot do that." and Damian immediately turned around in a blink of an eye and looked at Irene with a confused expression and said, "What am I not allowed to do?"

Irene pointed at the crack that formed on the ground and said, "That, you have to do the things just like you do without enhancements, that is you have to maintain the same output with the increased amount of input. You have to look like you don't have any enhancements on your body but in actuality it should be enhanced to the maximum."

Damian looked at her for a while and then said, "How is it going to help me?"

"It will help you improve your efficiency, if you are able to manage the output while increasing the input your body's ability to control magic will increase itself and you yourself will be able to handle your body better, slowly and slowly if you are able to master it you may be able to do some tasks which require a lot of magical power with just a bit of it. This also improves the concentration of ethernano inside your body as it continuously gets depleted and refilled over time, it can also help in improving your recovery rate."

Damian thought for a while and then said, "In simple words you are telling me to make it such that controlling large amount of mana becomes something like a muscle memory."

Hearing that Irene smiled wryly and said, "Well not exactly, but something similar to that, you just need to know that you have to do chores like a normal person while still having an abnormal power."

Damian nodded and said, "Well I think it is easy." and tried to walk once again but this time as well a crack was formed on the ground, making Damian look at the crack with a wry smile while Irene looked at him with an amused expression.

After that Damian kept on trying to move around but all the time Irene reprimanded him of using too much power or speed, making Damian completely annoyed. Seeing that Irene was trying very hard to not laugh at his problems.

After six hours of continuously maintaining his body to his upper limits Damian started to feel headache and finally he stopped and lied down on the ground and started breathing heavily, the whole area around him was full of cracks and craters and debris that were formed by him when he tried to walk or make his traps, which kept on breaking as he was not able to maintain his strength.

Irene who was looking at Damian looked at him with a bit of surprise in her eyes and thought, 'To be able to keep releasing the maximum amount of magic he possibly could for six hours, how much of a monster is he. His magical power is somewhere near mine a bit lower than me but his efficiency is already better than some low level court mages. I don't think that it will take much time before both his magic power and control reaches my level.'

She then walked towards him and gave him a wooden glass filled with water.

Damian immediately took the glass and started gulping it down.

After he was done drinking he remained still for a while to catch his breath and said, "This was the worst thing that I have ever done in my life."

Irene just chuckled and said, "Oh, don't say that the fun part is still not started."

Damian looked at her with a confused expression and asked, "What fun part?"

Irene just smiled and said, "Didn't I say that you have to improve your physical condition as well, to utilize the full potential of your magic. So let's start your physical training."

Damian looked at her and then pointed at himself and said, "You do know that I don't have any magic power left right?"

Irene just nodded and said, "Of course, that is even better. So get ready and let's spar." and a red magic circle appeared in her hand.

Seeing the magic circle Damian's eyes widened and he then looked at Irene with a pleading expression and said, "C'mon, Irene you should not make these types of jokes."

Irene just continued to 'smile' and then said, "Run" and fired and orb at Damian.

Damian who saw the orb coming towards him immediately jumped away and an explosion occured where he was sitting. He looked at Irene and said, "HEY, YOU WANT ME TO DIE OR WHAT?"

But Irene didn't say anything and continued to fire her orbs towards Damian while he kept dodging them. Even though he was out of magical power his body was still very fit, thanks to the training he did for the past two months he lived in the forest.

Damian who was dodging the orbs looked towards the explosion that occurred near him and thought, 'Its confirmed she wants to kill me.'

He then saw Irene who waved her hand on seeing his gaze and continued to fire the orbs. Damian who saw that thought, 'How can she look so beautiful to me when she is trying to kill me.'

He then sighed and said, "Well, let's get serious as well." and took out his katana from the storage and started cutting through the orbs that were coming towards him.

Seeing Damian cutting through the orbs Irene narrowed her eyes and thought, "l'So he finally decided to get serious, huh.' She then started to put enchantments on her body making it more durable and agile, and increased the power of her attacks.

Damian who saw her putting enchantments narrowed his eyes and thought, 'I have to finish it soon.' and started running towards Irene while dodging and cutting through the orbs with his katana. He then applied a small enhancement to his body as he has recovered a bit of his power and immediately his speed increased a bit.

Irene who saw Damian's increase in speed thought, 'So he has recovered a bit, huh' and increased the speed of her attacks.

As Damian kept getting closer and closer to Irene he started to get troubled on keeping up with her attacks. He got hit by multiple orbs but he still kept running towards her.

Just when he thought that he was about to reach her Irene smirked and fired a huge orb towards him making him open his eyes wide.

Damian started to get nervous on seeing the size of the orb and it was almost impossible for him to dodge that. Seeing that Damian gritted his teeth and enhanced his body's durability and took the attack head on but still passed through the attack and was about to attack at Irene, but before his katana was about to connect Irene easily caught the blade making Damian surprised and then punched him in the gut making Damian cough out some saliva and then he became unconcious and fell on the ground.

Irene looked at the unconcious Damian and said, "He was able to fight this well when he was already exhausted, although I didn't go all out but still.... *sigh* it somehow is making me feel very bad."

She then crouched down a bit and looked at his face for a while and then said, "Now that I look at him carefully, I think he looks quite handsome." a small smile then appeared on her face and she said, "Well looks like the time I will be here , will not be boring."
