Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Live Stream!!

"As expected of Ichiya-sama~"

"Our beloved Ichiya-aniki~"

"You're amazing, Master Ichiya~"

Happy quipped, "Why do their titles keep changing?"

Lyon, however, seemed more concerned. "Nate, won't the Oración Seis be able to see the broadcast too?"

It was no secret that dark guild members also lurked on the Magic Net. In the past, Erigor from Eisenwald had even publicly announced an attack on the Council's routine meeting through the Magic Net, only to end up as a laughingstock.

Now, the Trimens all turned their eyes toward Angel.

Startled, Angel quickly hid her hand behind her back. "I... I don't have a ring!" she stammered.

Ding~~~

The group's intense stares made Angel sweat nervously. Ultear approached, grabbing her wrist and raising her hand high. Sure enough, there was a Magic Net ring on her finger.

"She does have a ring, which means the rest of the Oración Seis probably do too," Lyon said, turning to Nate. "Nate, are you sure you want to stream this? It would essentially reveal all our movements to the enemy."

Ultear removed Angel's ring. "Give it back!" Angel cried, close to tears. "I won't say anything! I just want to use it for mahjong!"

'Why is everyone so obsessed with mahjong?' Nate thought, noting how many girls, including Mirajane, were into competitive mahjong.

"Give it back to her. I'll restrict her account's chat access," Nate decided. After all, playing mahjong still generated subscription fees for him—every little bit helps.

Nate then used his developer privileges to mute Angel's account, [AngelLike], across the entire Magic Net. She was now barred from even sending private messages, leaving her with only one option: playing mahjong.

Ultear returned the ring to Angel, smiling gently. "Behave yourself, Angel."

Angel beamed with delight. "Thank you!"

Nate turned back to Lyon and the others. "I could ban the Oración Seis from the stream, but honestly... it's unnecessary."

"If you're worried, you don't have to appear on camera. I can handle this alone."

Banning their accounts wouldn't do much since the Oración Seis also had connections with other dark guilds.

Jenny blinked and suggested, "How about I host the stream? It sounds like fun!"

'Are you here just to have fun?'

Nate glanced at Jenny. She was ranked number one in Sorcerer Weekly's 'The Wizard I'd Like To Be My Girlfriend' ranking, and her beauty and cheerful personality made her quite popular. Having Jenny on screen could certainly boost the stream's viewership.

He agreed and decided to hand over the streaming duties to Jenny, as he would likely be busy fighting. After all, the mission didn't require him to personally run the stream—just appearing on camera would suffice.

"Come over here, and I'll teach you how to stream."

Nate then began showing Jenny the basics of how to run a live broadcast. Jenny eagerly leaned in, full of excitement.

...

Two hours passed quickly, and finally, the last guild, Cait Shelter, arrived.

Everyone gathered outside the villa as a pegasus-shaped magic airship descended gracefully.

Carla flew down, clutching Wendy by the collar.

"Sorry for being late," Wendy apologized timidly after landing. When she spotted Nate and the others, her face lit up. "Nate, Natsu, and Happy—nice to see you all again!"

"Good afternoon, Wendy," Nate greeted with a smile. He then looked over at Jenny. With everyone present, it was time to start the stream.

"Got it!" Jenny excitedly activated the Magic Net's live-streaming feature—something Nate had temporarily given her permission to use—and created an eye-catching title for the broadcast:

[Shocking! Wizard Saint and Magic Net Creator Nate's Live Mission to Defeat the Oración Seis!]

Nate nearly facepalmed when he saw the title. 'A clickbait title? Seriously?'

Still, he acknowledged that clickbait was effective, especially in this world. He used his developer privileges to push the stream's title to all Magic Net users.

...

At the new Fairy Tail guild building, Mirajane, taking a brief break, sat at the bar and opened the game section, hoping to invite her friend [AngelLike] for a round of competitive mahjong.

Suddenly, the Magic Net pushed out a notification.

Reading the title, Mirajane's eyes widened in surprise.

It wasn't just her—everyone using the Magic Net in the guild received the stream notification simultaneously.

"It's Nate!"

"He's really live-streaming his battle with the Oración Seis?"

"Everyone, hurry up and watch!"

The guild members shouted excitedly as they all rushed to click into the live stream.

When the broadcast finally loaded, they didn't see Nate but instead saw a beautiful blonde woman in a pink dress.

"Hi, everyone watching the stream! I'm Jenny Realight, a mage from Blue Pegasus," she greeted cheerfully.

Mirajane blinked in surprise. "Jenny?"

The two of them were friends and often chatted. Jenny frequently mentioned her interest in Nate, saying things like, "I'm going to steal Nate away to join Blue Pegasus!"

"It's Jenny Realight, ranked number one in 'Sorcerer Weekly's 'The Wizard I'd Like To Be My Girlfriend' ranking poll."

"She's held that title for a long time now."

"Well, of course. But if Mirajane ever agreed to be interviewed, she'd take first place for sure."

"That's not the point! Why is Jenny hosting? Where's Nate?"

"Aren't they supposed to be fighting the Oración Seis?"

The guild was buzzing with conversation.

On-screen, Jenny's radiant smile never faltered as she effortlessly handled the role of host.

"Don't be surprised, everyone. This is a new feature coming soon to the Magic Net: live-streaming," she explained.

"It's something Nate developed, and right now, it's in its early testing phase."

"I, Jenny Realight, will be your host for today's broadcast. The content? The takedown of one of the Balam Alliance's three giants—the dark guild Oración Seis!"

...

"Now, over here—" Jenny gestured, and the camera shifted to show Angel, who looked utterly defeated.

"Tada~~" Jenny said with a teasing grin. "This is one of the Oración Seis members, codenamed Angel, real name Sorano Aguria. She's already been captured by Nate!"

"What?!"

The Fairy Tail members were shocked.

They had already taken down one of the Oración Seis?

"Angel, say hi to everyone watching the stream!" Jenny's sweet smile was almost devilish.

Beads of cold sweat dripped down Angel's face as she forced a strained smile.

"I'm Angel from the Oración Seis..."

"What's your greeting?"

"Uh... H-Hello, everyone..."

Angel was on the verge of tears. Why was she being forced into this?

Meanwhile, deep within the Worth Woodsea, at the Oración Seis' base, Brain, the leader, watched the live stream with a dark expression.

"Nate sure knows how to surprise people."

He had anticipated interference from the official guilds, knowing they would hinder his plans for chaos.

Just days earlier, Voldemort had sent him a picture of [Zeref's Dark Magic Tavern].

By clicking the image, his consciousness had entered the tavern, and in that moment, Brain realized it was a place called the Dark Web.

Inside the tavern, he had met Hades, and the two had exchanged words.

Now, only two days later, both dark guilds were moving simultaneously.

The official guilds forming an alliance to hunt them down wasn't unexpected.

But live-streaming... now that was something Brain hadn't foreseen.

"What an amusing feature," Brain muttered. "Let the whole world watch closely as I tear the light-filled world apart!"

Grinning wickedly, he turned to one of his subordinates.

"Cobra, Angel has fallen. Go wake up Midnight. It's time we paid a visit to the master of Internet Magic."
