Holistic Fantasy Chapter 43: The 3 constitutional characteristic which differs from normal people
From the perspectives of those who know Noah, he is just some orphan Makarov picked up by chance.
But perhaps even Makarov didnât know that Noah isnât just an orphan.
He doesnât even have recollection that he existed before!
When he first met Makarov, his appearance was already that of an 11 year old kid. Back then, his magic rampaged out of control when he was attacked by magical beasts and Makarov who was just nearby by coincidence, noticed and came along to adopt him.
When Makarov first took him in, he asked Noah about his background but Noah didnât say anything for two reason.
1: He didnât know how to speak then.
More accurately, Noah didnât know this worldâs language back then so he canât communicate verbally. He was like a baby with a 10 year old kidâs appearance and mind. Suffice to say it was very odd.
2: Noah didnât have any knowledge or memories about his background.
When he learnt the language and could speak, Makarov who heard about this conjectured that he might have lost his memories.
However, Noah does know one thing; Makarov is wrong.
He didnât lose his memories!
Itâs as put forward above, it was not a metaphor when one referred to him back then as a baby to this world who had the psyche and the appearance of 10 year old-ish kid. It is the literal truth.
In other words, rather than say he lost his memories from before he was 10, it would be better to say he skipped those 10 years and was born a 10 year old.
Although he couldnât explain why he felt that was it, but Noah somehow knew that had to be it. Itâs as though someone is secretly telling him that is the truth. Itâs very hard to imagine.
Thatâs why Noah didnât tell anyone about this and pretty soon he too decided not to pursue the matter.
Itâs like Makarov said, Noah is running away from his background.
Obviously, he canât help doing this.
Makarov hired someone to investigate Noahâs matter and the result was a blank slate of nothing. Itâs like Noah never existed in the past, not a single clue could be found anywhere.
Furthermore, Noah had the hunch that heâs not hit with amnesia. Rather, heâs born like this, a newborn with the appearance and mind of a 10 year old. If he were to tell anyone, nobody would think him to be normal, they would not even think of him as a human in the first place!
Under this kind of circumstances, how could he not run from his background?
He didnât want to be seen or treated as a monster!
Seeing the complex emotions brewing within his eyes, Makarov sighed.
âMaybe you have something you donât want to say or maybe you know something but I wonât ask or force you. If you want to run away then so be it, if you want to abandon it, Iâm also fine with it. What I want to say is that no matter what, youâre my grandson. Always will be!â
âGrandpa...â
Noah closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his eyes returned to its usual clarity.
âI am Noah Dreyar. I will always keep this in mind!â
âThen all is well.â
Makarov grinned lightly before taking a serious experssion again.
âNow onto the topic I wanted to discuss with you, itâs about your constitution!â
âMy body?â
Noah jolted.
âAs expected, you havenât noticed?â
Makarov rubbed his chin while looking at Noah.
âDo you still remember when you first entered the forest of Magnolia and met the snake shaped magic beast?â
When Makarov said this, Noah remembered.
He was new to Fairy Tail then, and he didnât know a lot of powerful magic beasts inhabited the forest. He snuck into the forest to train his control over magic power and he encountered the snake magic beast.
Noah recalled that he got bit by the snake and then passed out. when he woke up, Makarov already sent him to Porlyusica for treatment. He recovered after a long time of recovery and returned to the guild.
âActually, I omitted the fact that the snake bite had poisoned you with lethal dosage of venom and curses!â
Makarov dropped the bombshell on a very surprised Noah. He clearly remembered that Makarov told him he only got a little hurt, there wasnât a mention about curses or venom.
âI didnât tell you not because I wanted to hide it from you but because your condition was very odd then.â
Makarov seemd to have slipped into his journey back in time as he continued explaining.
âWhen I found you then, you clearly had signs of being cursed and poisoned, you were dying and when I sent you to Polyursica, the venom and curses within you all disappeared!â
âThey disappeared?â
Noah touched himself and frowned.
âSo this is what you meant when you said constitution?â
âYes.â
Makarov nodded.
âJust in case, I had Polyursica scan your body and turns out your body is unlike that of a normal human. You had special characteristics not found in average people.â
âFirstly, your body has what I can only call very high exclusivity!â
Makarov lifted a finger.
âAnything like venom, curses or negative energy are ineffective against you. Poisoning you or cursing you will not work and your body can reject negative power. Examples being, curses, poisoning and weakening will not work against you. Even if the negative effect is a part of a strengthening effect, this constitution of yours will keep the strengthening effect while eliminating the negative side effect!â
âNext, your body is very inclusive!â
Makarov lifted a second finger.
âThis feature allows you to absorb that which did not belong to you but somehow seeped into your body. That one time when you got attacked by the snake magic beast, en route to Polyursicaâs, I injected a part of my magic power into you and your body completely assimilated it!â
âFianlly, your body has a very independent nature!â
âEveryone knows that magic power drives everything and it surrounds us. A magicianâs power comes from. whenever a magician uses up his reserve of magic power, the ethernano in the atmosphere would be taken in by the body to replenish the lost magic power. However, you are different, if your power is depleted, you automatically replenishes without taking anything from the external environment!â
He continued in a lower tone compared to before.
âFrom this, itâs as though...â
Itâs as if he is a world in and of itself!
Shaking his head and hiding the thoughts that emerged, Makarov looked at Noah who stayed silent throughout this exchange.
âNow what I want to impart onto you is this, On your journey of learning magic, you will surely encounter various kinds of foes, it is imperative that you skillfully use your innate characteristics. I hope you will keep this in mind.â
Negate any negative energy or side effects!
Ability to assimilate foreign power that enters his body!
Auto magic power regen1
These 3 effects are evidence of how abnormal his body is and hinted at Noah that he really isnât normal!
âYouâre a very smart kid, I firmly believe that you will be able to overcome any setback you encounter!â
Makarov smiled in a cheeky way.
âIf you want to learn my magic, youâre welcomed to come find me anytime you know...â
And with that line, Makarov vanished just when Noah lifted his head.
Noah stood there for quite some time before releasing a drawn out breath. He then slapped his cheeks and continued.
âLetâs not think about that, I should solve my problem of what magic to learn!â
Looking at the library in front of him, Noah lifted his legs and walked inside.
