"This is a Dragon Slayer Crystal."
Mirajane, who was standing nearby, explained to Ginana that Moen wanted to test Ginana, and had naturally informed Mirajane beforehand. Mirajane then quietly stayed by their side.
Seeing that Gina had no reaction to the "Dragon Slayer Crystal", Mirajane breathed a slight sigh of relief. Of course, she knew that things were not over yet; this was just the beginning.
"Dragon Slayer...Magic Crystal?"
Gina still looked confused when she heard this.
Unfortunately, Gina's perceptions are still largely those of a girl around 18 years old, and she also has a somewhat childlike personality.
Ginana knows almost nothing about the magical world, and she doesn't know magic. The magic she most wants to learn right now is "receiving magic," because her two good friends, Mirajane and Lisanna, both use "receiving magic."
Moreover, the ability to absorb the power of animals and demons for one's own use sounds really cool, and she really likes this way of fighting.
As for "Dragon Slayer Magic" and "Dragon Slayer Crystals," Ginana knew nothing about them. She only knew that there were several "Dragon Slayer Mages" in the guild, all of whom were very strong and possessed powerful "Dragon Slayer Magic."
"This is the magic crystal of the poison dragon. As long as this magic crystal is transplanted, one can obtain the poison dragon slayer magic and become a powerful dragon slayer mage."
Moen explained the uses of this "magic crystal," and to be honest, the value of this "Poison Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal" was absolutely off the charts.
If this "Dragon Slayer Crystal" wasn't in Moen's possession, and if Kebra hadn't explicitly stated that it was a gift to Moen, it would definitely have sparked a fierce competition among many people.
After all, having this thing in hand, whether for personal use or for trading, can create extraordinary value; very few people would regard it as dirt.
Even Moen accepted this gift, didn't he?
Even if he himself certainly wouldn't use it, giving it to other members of the guild could still add a decent fighting force to the guild.
This "Poison Dragon Slayer Mage" may seem a bit weak, but that's only because of the different enemies he's faced. In any case, he's a "Special Type Dragon Slayer Mage," capable of poisoning and corroding others, as well as possessing powerful physical abilities, like Natsu and his friends who have the ability to cover their bodies with dragon scales.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Gina nodded in a daze and praised him, even clapping her hands in response. As she spoke, she looked at Mirajane with pleading eyes, completely unaware of the situation or what Moen meant.

Mirajane could only shake her head slightly at this. She could only watch from the side and couldn't reveal anything. Of course, she understood Moen's actions, which were also to eliminate potential safety hazards for everyone in the guild.
After all, Gina's previous "true form" was too powerful for some of the guild members, especially those who relied on ordinary, low-level quests for a living. They really couldn't do anything about the Great Purple Serpent, Chuberios.
"Here, take it and use it. What do you think?"
Looking at Ginana, Moen came up with an idea.
Giving Kebra's relic, the "Poisonous Magic Crystal," to Ginana, the "true form" of Chuberios, can be considered a way of fulfilling their wishes.
"No, no, no! How can you do this?! I'm not qualified to use something so valuable! I still want to learn Receiving Magic from Sister Mira..."
'
However, Ginana immediately rejected the idea, waving her hand quickly as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.
There was no other way; Moen's desire to grant his wish stemmed from his knowledge of the whole story, including the relationship between Kebra and Chuberios.
However, Ginana was completely unaware of these things. She did not believe that she had anything to do with this "Poison Dragon Magic Crystal" and did not think that she was qualified to use this treasure. She also did not want to become a "powerful Dragon Slayer Mage".

Looking at Ginana, Moen finally withdrew the "Poison Dragon Magic Crystal," which relieved Ginana. If Moen had continued to ask, she really didn't know how to refuse him.
"Then who should use this? Everyone has their own specialization in magic."
Moen retrieved the "Poison Dragon Magic Crystal," then let out a long sigh, looking quite troubled. Judging from his worried and troubled expression, it was as if he had come to see Ginana simply because Ginana had not yet mastered magic.
"It's indeed not easy to find."
Mirajane suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously, playing along with Moen's performance. She thought Moen's reason was actually acceptable.
There are definitely people more suitable than me...
'
Moen and Mirajane's back-and-forth banter convinced the naive Ginana, who felt a little embarrassed and offered Moen a word of comfort.
"Never mind, let's take our time looking."
Moen shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter. At least judging from Gina's current performance, the girl should be fine. She really has no related memories at all, and the "Poison Dragon" Kebra is completely irrelevant to her.
"Perhaps she'll only be moved if she sees her in person."
Moen speculated that if that were the case, then there was no need to worry, as Ginana would definitely not see Kebra.
"This Dragon Slayer Crystal isn't something just anyone can use; it depends on compatibility. It's best to find someone with high compatibility to transplant it."
Gina passed the test temporarily, and Mirajane also became serious.
This "Dragon Slayer Crystal" still carries a certain degree of danger; not everyone is Laxus and can easily transplant the "Dragon Slayer Crystal."
Furthermore, Laxus wasn't just randomly transplanted; he was skilled in using lightning elemental magic, and the "Lightning Dragon Crystal" was a perfect match for him, which is why the transplant went so smoothly.
If you just randomly find someone to transplant the virus, it will most likely backfire, especially since this "poison dragon" isn't exactly a very compatible type.
"My immune system might actually be a good fit."
Moen laughed and joked that when he unlocked the Royal Magic Palace Rose, he gained the ability to be immune to all toxins, so this "poison dragon" ability definitely wouldn't affect him.
"No rush. Not only does his body need to be compatible, but he also needs to agree with Fairy Tail's philosophy and be able to stay in Fairy Tail. I don't want him to turn around and leave as soon as I give him the Magic Crystal; otherwise, don't blame me for taking it back."
Moen narrowed his eyes. Although the "Poison Dragon Magic Crystal" could not be retrieved at any time like his own ability, it was still possible to retrieve it if he really wanted to. He could just dig it out again, which was the convenience of this ability.
Removing the "Dragon Slayer Crystal" through normal means will not kill anyone, although it will certainly cause considerable damage, but it will not be fatal. Even someone like Cobra, who was forced to remove it directly, did not die on the spot. At most, it will only cause more damage to the body.
Of course, given Kebra's condition at the time, there was no need to worry about whether the physical damage was more or less severe.
In short, finding a successor for the "Poison Dragon Magic Crystal" cannot be rushed, and there probably won't be a suitable candidate in the short term.
"Mira, why don't you teach her when you have some free time? This child actually has a good foundation in magic, so learning to receive magic wouldn't be a bad thing."
Having made up his mind, Moen smiled and said to Mirajane, "It would be good if Ginana became a 'Receiving Mage' from now on."
"Okay, I'll teach her!"
Mirajane agreed without hesitation. Ginana works as a waitress in the guild, and she is the guild's mascot. When she's not busy or on her days off, she can teach Ginana, which is quite convenient.
"Really?! I can learn right now?!"
Upon hearing this, Ginana immediately became excited. She genuinely loved "receiving magic," and there was no faking it.
"Of course, Moen agreed."
Mirajane blinked and spoke mischievously, with an expression as if she had received a royal decree.
Moen gently tapped Mirajane's forehead with his finger, smiling indulgently. But a thought suddenly occurred to him: what if Gina had received the "animal spirit" of a "giant purple snake"...
"Don't worry, Gina is terrified of snakes~"
Seeing Moen's expression, Mirajane seemed to guess what Moen was thinking, and she chuckled, dispelling Moen's worries.
"Um...I really hate and am afraid of snakes..."
'
When Mirajane mentioned snakes, Ginana immediately shuddered. She has been afraid of snakes since she was a child; it is arguably the thing she hates most. She would run far away whenever she saw a snake and would never go near it.
"Is that so?"
Moen was stunned. He really didn't expect that a girl who was so afraid of snakes would be turned into a snake and live in snake form and instinct for so many years. It was really ironic.
It's fortunate that Gina didn't have that memory; otherwise, she would probably have suffered a more severe mental shock than Gerald, who regained his senses earlier. This girl doesn't seem to be a very strong-willed person; she might have been scared out of her wits by that memory.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps her current amnesia is actually a form of self-protection? It could be that her self-protection mechanism has been triggered.
After this series of tests, Moen was certain that the possibility of Gina, this "safety hazard," erupting was unlikely.
"Now that the Oración Seis is dealt with, it's time to put our guild's S-rank exam on the agenda. Let's quickly promote a few qualified members to the top, which will also relieve some of our pressure."
Seeing that Moen had stopped mentioning Ginana, Mirajane reminded him that if it weren't for the "Oracles of Seiya" incident taking up so much time, this matter should have been resolved much earlier.
Gildarts' return naturally relieved some of the pressure on the S-class mages. After all, the old man is a restless fellow who has been traveling around for many years and has completed many "S-class missions" for the guild.
However, things have changed after the "Oracles Seiskus" incident. Among the major events, "Fairy Tail" still gained the most fame. Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and the others who stood out are now being called upon to make requests, just like the previous "S-Class Mages".
The awkward thing is that those tasks that are specifically requested are usually "S-rank tasks", but Natsu, Gray, Lucy and the others are not qualified to do them.
This situation naturally made Natsu and Gray very unhappy. They kept clamoring for the "S-Class Mage Exam" to start quickly, and they couldn't wait to do the "S-Class Mission".
Actually, they have already done an "S-class mission", but they went in a team, with Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Emerald in a group.
This can be considered as granting them a special privilege and making an exception for them. Fortunately, they successfully completed their mission.
Of course, the old man also secretly went along, to support them and to conduct a preliminary assessment of them.
"Let's do it in the next few days. It's urgent, and we don't have time to wait for the Grand Magic Games. Besides, whether we go to the Grand Magic Games or not, we still have to go to Sirius Island. It's a tradition of our guild."
Moen thought about it and realized there was no need to waste any more time. The turbulent year of X784 was almost over, and the martial arts tournament was at the end of the year, about a month away. They could first present their "S"...
The "Level 1 Examination" was held.
"Well, I'm worried that having two assessments in a month will affect everyone's performance, and if they don't perform well in the Grand Magic Tournament..."
'
Mirajane nodded at first, then thought of another question.
She pouted, her expression somewhat worried. This "Grand Magic Games" was very important. It had now become a national event officially supported by the Kingdom of Fiore, and its popularity, prize money, and reputation had all greatly increased. It was even famous throughout the entire continent of Ishgar.
The next step could very well be turning into the "Ishgar Magic Grand Tournament".
So far, Fairy Tail has monopolized the championship and become the main villain in the Magic Grand Tournament, becoming a public enemy. Once it comes to chaotic battles and multi-party team battles, Fairy Tail will definitely be attacked by all sides.
In order to protect the honor of the "champion", the members of Fairy Tail will conserve their energy and strength. The participants will stop going on missions for half a month before the start of the competition and instead undergo intensive training.
Holding the "S-Rank Examination" before the "Grand Magic Tournament" does indeed have the potential to affect the "Grand Magic Tournament".
"We can narrow down the list of examinees this time, test a portion of them first, and then further examine the rest during the Grand Magic Tournament."
Moen nodded and then offered a solution: it wasn't a difficult problem; they could simply reduce the number of assessors.
Moreover, they generally already know who can pass the assessment, so when it comes to the assessment, they will give them a slight discount so that everyone can complete the assessment with less effort.
"It can't be much less, otherwise wouldn't it be an assessment specifically for a few people? That would definitely cause resentment and controversy, which wouldn't be good for those people either."
Mirajane felt that the list could be shortened appropriately, but it was unrealistic to only include Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Emerald; that would definitely cause a lot of discussion.
