Makarov mistook Lu Li's happiness and joy for extreme grief, believing his subconscious had chosen to deliberately forget, focusing all his attention on magic to mask his sorrow.
The evidence was that since waking up, Lu Li had never asked about his village or family, nor mentioned the suffering he had endured, as if none of it had ever happened.
Most children in the guild were like this; they all had painful pasts. That was why he wanted Fairy Tail to be a home for these homeless children, hoping everyone could grow up healthy and happy within Fairy Tail.
Makarov didn't know that Lu Li was truly happy. His mind didn't retain any memories related to this body.
Naturally, he had no deep connection to the deceased relatives. At most, he was grateful to the original owner of this body for allowing him to continue living.
To live a second life, possess a healthy body, come to this magical world, join the Fairy Tail guild, and learn magic—any single one of these was a huge surprise to him. He couldn't be happier; why would he be sad?
Lu Li went behind the guild, sat under a big tree, leaned against the trunk, and began to read the magic book.
"Magic Power is the necessary energy for Mages to cast magic. Every human body has a Magic Origin, and Magic Power is born from the Magic Origin. Magic Power attributes are roughly divided into eight types: the four basic attributes of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water; Light and Darkness; Space and Nothingness; and legend has it there is also a Time attribute..."
The magic book began to analyze and explain Magic Power from the basics to the profound. After about an hour, Lu Li finished reading the magic book, memorizing all the knowledge within it. This book benefited Lu Li greatly.
He finally understood what Makarov meant by advising him to learn fewer spells and specialize in one or two types of magic.
Because Magic Power itself carries attributes. Especially as a Mage's cultivation of magic becomes deeper and more profound, the Magic Power in their body will carry the corresponding attribute.
The higher the density of this attribute in the Magic Power, the stronger the power of the cast magic.
This made Lu Li think of Gildarts, who specialized in the super-advanced magic—Crash.
Just by walking into a wall, he would shatter it. It wasn't that he was actively casting magic, but the Magic Power he carried instinctively destroyed the wall.
"Mages cannot use magic of opposing attributes, such as Water and Fire, or Light and Darkness."
Lu Li raised an eyebrow slightly when he read this. This statement was a bit absolute. In most cases, it was true; for example, asking Natsu to use Ice Magic or Gray to use Fire Magic was almost impossible.
But that guy ranked first among the Ten Wizard Saints of Ishgar could use both magics because he had both Water Dragon and Fire Dragon Slayer Lacrimas in his body.
As for Light and Darkness, in the future Grand Magic Games, Rogue, after devouring Sting's power, also used both types of magic.
Furthermore, he remembered that in the world of *Fairy Tail*, different magics, if fused, could even greatly increase in power.
Right now, he didn't know which attribute magic suited him best. His heaven-defying comprehension made him feel that every magic was simple.
So, he could only try all the magic one by one, and then find the one most compatible with him.
"Fireball!"
Lu Li raised his right hand, palm open. A fireball appeared in Lu Li's palm, and he launched it at a distant rock.
*Boom!*
The fireball exploded on the rock. The rock was unharmed, only its surface slightly blackened.
"The power is so small! But that's normal, after all, it's just basic magic."
This result didn't surprise Lu Li. The Magic Particle structure within the Fireball spell was simple. Even if the Master used it, the result would be about the same.
Then Lu Li opened his palm again. Another fireball appeared, burning with raging flames. The temperature was obviously much higher than the previous fireball.
He used the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic learned from Natsu—no, it should be called Dragon God Transformation magic now—to power the Fireball spell.
Lu Li flicked his hand, and the fireball shot towards a rock.
*Boom!!*
The rock was shattered.
Lu Li's eyes lit up, thinking: "As expected of Dragon Slayer Magic, its power is much stronger than ordinary Fireball. If I could make this fireball bigger, its power would definitely increase too."
Thinking this, Lu Li's mind began to work.
**[You felt the fireball was too small and began to deduce. A fireball has its own Magic Particle arrangement structure and its size cannot be changed at will. Inputting too much Magic Power will cause magical instability. You decided to reconstruct the fireball's structure, combining the principles of Giant Magic. Construction started. Your comprehension is heaven-defying. You have created a new magic. Please name the new magic!]**
Lu Li raised his palm upward.
*Whoosh————!!*
A pillar of flame soaring to the sky erupted from Lu Li's palm. In the blink of an eye, a massive fireball over ten meters in diameter appeared above Lu Li's palm.
"So big!!"
Lu Li looked at the super-large fireball above him and couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect the fireball he created to be this huge.
"Since this fireball is so big, I'll call it Big Fireball. Uh... shouting that name out loud feels a bit lame."
"It needs a cool name. I know! Let's call it 'Dragon God · Great Flame Emperor'!"
[New magic 'Dragon God · Great Flame Emperor' named successfully!]
