I Will Be The Harem King 54 The Mage Of Time

"The Mage of Time. You didn't know? You're actually even more famous than Zeref was, you know. There is rarely anyone who still remembers Zeref but even a five-year-old child knows the Mage of Time." Mavis tilted her head to the side as she dropped another bomb.

"Wait, I am famous? How? Since when?" This is seriously unbelievable. There wasn't a mage who was called Mage of Time in the canon for sure. And that too someone even more famous than Zeref the Black Wizard.

"Hm, I remember that Zeref said that he didn't like an unknown factor like you to be shrouded in the dark or something, so he went around spreading stories about you. Stuff like, a mage who uses time magic to treat any and all the people while travelling. He even used illusion magic on a lot of people to make it seem like they had fallen ill or got injured and you came and healed them." Mavis who had her right index finger on her chin while looking up trying to think failed to notice that I had frozen in my place as Mavis continued to rattle on.

"He told the people to spread it around more and also revealed that the Mage of Time is immortal and that one day after disappearing he will re appear again in X700s. This was taken as a prophesy and was pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. Now, the prophecy is something like this, 'In the late X700s, the Mage of Time, shall appear again and join the family that causes the most chaos. He will lead them from behind to protect all innocents and heal any and all living being.' Something like that."

"Haah, when I get my hands on him… anyway, that isn't important. I have a few things that I want to propose to you. First, I reawaken your body and if you want make you age into your real age. Second, about that illusionary friend of yours called Zera, I can revive her. Third, even after I reawaken you, I don't want you to come out into the world just yet." Figuring that I could deal with Zeref later, I spoke of the things that I wanted to do that relates to Mavis. Regarding Lumen Histoire, I can just teleport it from the past to here so there's no problem.

"Sure. Zeref had told me that even though you are shrouded in mystery, you are still someone who doesn't have any ill intentions. How he figured that out, I don't know. So when should we begin?" Mavis replied in her usual cheerful voice straight away as she seemed eager to come back to being a real living being. Or maybe she was eager for the fact that I will be reviving Zera.

"Not now, we still have some time until the events that should happen starts. We will wait until then." I wanted to do all of the things in my Mavis list after the lullaby arc. That way, the council will have their attention directed elsewhere and we can concentrate on our own work.

"Alright, you should head back to them, their starting to look for you." Said Mavis as she pointed towards the girls with her head.

When I turned, I saw that they were indeed looking for me and I realized that we were still invisible to them. I turned the barrier off once I saw that Mavis had retreated and headed for the girls.

"Where were you? We thought you had wandered off and gotten yourself lost." Levy said in a relieved tone once she saw me coming back safe and sound.

"Nothing much, just looked around a bit. Anyway, I see you've given your respects. So how about we build the house inside that tree. It has quite a large hole already carved out and all we need to do is make it bigger inside and clean up a bit along with some finishing touches. But that can be done later. How about we go down to the beach and have a group date. We can have fun in the sea to cool down from the heat while we are at it." I decided to change the subject straight away so I suggested we go have some fun at the beach. I can ogle at some bikini clad beauties while I'm at it.

The girls all agreed to the idea so I teleported us back to Magnolia to let the girls pick their swimsuits while Anna bought hers' and then came back to the island right on the beach. We spread a sheet on the sand and stuck big umbrella before we all went straight to the sea.

For the next one or so hour, we played without a care in the world. We swam in the ocean, played volleyball, breaking the watermelon and at the end just rested under the umbrella. It was mid noon now and it was almost time to head back.

I need to confirm with Makarov if what Mavis said about me was really true. And if so how the situation was at worldwide, whether this would affect the future events or not and finally setting up a fight with someone in the guild who will be arriving soon if what I sensed through my s.p.a.ce control is true. Which it is by the way.

After resting up a bit, we headed back to the guild where the girls and I split up as they wanted to talk to Anna alone and so I went towards Makarov who was sitting on the bar counter drinking beer while watching the guild drowning in chaos.

"Can we talk alone for a bit?" I said to Makarov once he was within hearing range and he just nodded at me before hopping down from the counter and heading back to the library room we were in previously. Once we were inside and sat down, I went straight into the heart of the matter.

"Is it true that I'm famous and that I'm being called the Mage of Time?" Makarov who was still drinking his beer while listening to me spit out what he had in his mouth and looked at me like he saw a ghost.

"Wha, wha, what did you just say?" Makarov was able to blurt out a coherent sentence after a few minutes, yes minutes of stuttering as his expression remained that of shock and one who seemed like will have a seizure at a moment's notice.

"I said, is it true that I'm famous and that even a five-year-old child knows about me as the Mage of Time?" I once again repeated my earlier words to Makarov who seems to have a hard time trying to come to terms with what I just said.

"Oh, dear, G.o.d!" Makarov, who heard me repeat what I said, fainted.
