Chapter 108: The Land of Magic

The portal to Fiore finally opened up and I dropped out of the sky.

Sage: (Yelled while falling) SHIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!! Not again!

I had no strength to resist the fall. I plummeted from the sky at a rapid pace and smashed into the ground making at least a category 5 to 6 earthquake. I ran out of food trying to get my strength back on Namek but because of Moro's drain the food was simply sustenance and did nothing to help me. I can make my versions of Senzu Beans but with no strength there is little chance of that happening. My seals were still active but they merely hid my presence at this point and masked whatever little energy I had left. I left the seals alone until I regained some power. I may be stonger than this universe but their magic can prove otherwise.

My landing should have scared whatever creatures there may have been living in this forest so I needed to get away from my landing area first. I searched for animals to see if I can eat something. I may have no meat or vegetables from Toriko's universe but I still have spices and herbs. If I can just find some type of animal I might be able a decent meal. I cut my hand to let my blood out so I can lure nearby predators. After a few minutes my cut healed and I saw some big wolves approaching. I was disappointed with my slow healing but with the amount of power I lost I cannot exactly complain. After killing the wolves I bled, gutted and skinned them. To take in as much energy as I could I even deep fried their bones. I found a nearby river which I almost dried out by drinking. I finally had enough strength to produce Senzu Beans. I made 5 just to be safe. After I ate one I realized that the 20 percent that I was missing was complete. The air, water and soil here had magicules, magic particles, in abundance and gave the last 20 percent needed to my Senzu Beans to reach 100 percent and to restore me. Once I realized that, I made at least 2000 more beans and stored them away. What I didn't realize was that the production of those beans nearly destroyed the forest I was in.

I may have completed the beans but it took too much from the land. I already got what I wanted to it's better to not be seen as a hostile entity, not yet anyway. I flew around to see where I landed. I knew I was in Fiore, the continent where the Fairy Tail guild was on but I had no fucking clue where I was. As I flew I felt the air was rich in magical energy and inhaled deeply. I let my gourmet cells take in the energy and assimilated it to my cells, bones and flesh. I felt a reinforcement of power swelling inside. The air was delicious, I can see why Moro would drain planets, even Goku used the energy of the planet and used it on a galactic scale when using the spirit bomb against Kid Buu, and even then the power wasn't simply taken.

I spent a few days in the forest to make sure I regained my full strength and assimilate the magic into myself. Gourmet cells are a wonder. I used food honor to create a storage of the magicules I absorbed to be used for later. While meditating I felt the 3 magic energy signatures heading towards me. I opened my eyes, created a shadow clone to see who it was. I instructed the clone stay hidden, do not engage and return once it saw who the trio was. My shadow clone reached the trio and once he saw them, disappeared. I laughed to myself. To think it was Natsu, Lucy and the cat, Happy. I doubt it is food luck since I wasn't looking for food, but even so, luck was on my side. I flashed to their location while keeping my strength in check with renewed seals.

Sage: Excuse me.

The trio didn't sense me coming so they were startled when I appeared but Natsu was on full alert. Ah, I forgot about his sense of smell. Natsu had a similar sense of smell to Toriko so he could tell I was not someone he could even imagine of even trying to fight, let alone win. I smiled as warmly as I could, since I came here to learn about magic from them not obliterate them.

Natsu: Lucy, Happy get behind me! This guy is outrageously powerful!

Sage: No need to be alarmed. My Name is Sarunokami Sage, call me Sage. I seem to be completely lost, I don't even know what year it is, can you help me?

Lucy: Hey Natsu, I believe in your instincts but he doesn't seem to mean any harm. We took the request to find out why this forest was dying, not to fight, he might know the reason.

Happy: Aye! Let's ask first and if he is as dangerous as you say we can simply run.

Lucy: My name is Lucy Heartfilia, this cat is called Happy and this is…

Natsu: Natsu Dragneel.

Sage: A pleasure to meet you. Again, my name is Sage. So can you guys help me?

Natsu: This forest is between Magnolia and the Akane Beach on the continent of Fiore. The year is X791.

When Natsu finished giving me the answers to my questions I smiled inwardly. I came to the time after the Tenroujima arc, where the Fairy Tail members went to sleep for 7 years in suspended animation. After a brief chat, I found out that they haven't gotten to go to the Grand Magic Tournament yet and that they were planning on going in a few months time. I also told them that I had a unique constitution and when I am hurt or drained of energy that I require a lot of energy to recover but due to the recovery I gain a massive boost in strength. When I see Moro again I will have to thank him for the Zenkai.

When the misunderstanding was cleared they took me to Magnolia and then to their guild, Fairy Tail. Gildarts, Ezra, Laxus, Gajeel, Wendy, maybe Makarov the current guild master and Mavis might be able to gauge my strength but not completely so I might have a hard time having them let their guard around me let alone trust me. I named all the ones with the dragon slayer magic because they have sensitive sense like Natsu and Makarov, Gildarts, Ezra and Mavis because of their experience.

Natsu: Here is our guild, Fairy Tail.

I saw a shabby looking building but I knew that this was because they lost their original guild hall when they disappeared 7 years ago. Even still, the voices heard within were joyous ones.

Sage: Seems lively.

The moment Natsu, Lucy and Happy went through the doors I followed them. When everyone turned around to greet them they saw me. As expected, those that are dragon slayers, the guild master and the founder were looking at me on high alert. I looked around and greeted them. Every step I took toward them the more they tightly they gripped their hands. Mavis in particular looked more ghastly by the second, even for a spirit. Natsu, Lucy and Happy went to talk to them on my behalf.
