At this moment, a world where only Black Wizard Zeref was injured was achieved.
Time flew by.
Another seven years passed in a hurry.
The year came to X713.
August was fifteen years old this year, according to the laws of Fiore Kingdom.
This year, August had come of age.
Fifteen-year-old August's figure became even more tall and handsome…
He retained Mavis's gentleness, yet his eyes held a heroic spirit that Mavis did not possess. His height also reached around 1.8 meters, and his entire being exuded a composure that ordinary people lacked.
Medivh looked at his son, whom he had raised himself, and felt very satisfied.
The most important thing was that since a year ago, Medivh had no longer been able to discern August's true strength level?!
One thing Medivh knew clearly was that the current August, in terms of magic power alone, was already above him.
"Smile~"
"Great! Cheese~"
Today, Medivh specially had a suit custom-made for August by top craftsmen, a pure handmade beast-fur suit. In terms of Medivh's previous world, it was made of top-tier material comparable to 'vicuña wool.' For Medivh's family, who usually prioritized saving money, this seemed quite out of place.
In addition, Medivh also hired a professional photographer to take group after group of photos for August.
"Father, it's just a coming-of-age ceremony, there's no need to make it so grand, is there?!"
August kept posing under the photographer's guidance, his face subtly tinged with a blush.
"Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, how can we not make it grand?!"
Medivh said with a smile, hands in his pockets, looking at August.
"But there's no need to make it this grand…"
August mumbled softly. As a true introvert, he really couldn't stand being watched by so many people.
In fact, in August's eyes, the best coming-of-age ceremony would simply be a reunion dinner with his Father and family.
"Why so many questions?! Or are you saying that now that you're an adult, you think you're grown up and don't have to listen to Father anymore?"
Medivh said, giving August's shoulder two hard squeezes.
"No! No… …"
"It's just… …"
August's expression became flustered by Medivh's words. He waved his hands repeatedly, momentarily unable to speak coherently.
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now."
"Yesterday, when Mrs. Mary Jane came to visit the bakery, she said her daughter wanted to ask you out for a picnic, but you turned her down…"
"Seriously, Mrs. Mary Jane's daughter has fair skin, a beautiful figure, and a pleasant voice. She's the dream goddess of countless teenagers in town! If Father were a few decades younger, I might even! Cough, cough… …"
"In short, which girl do you like?! Just tell Father, and I'm not lying, there's no family in the entire Violet Town that Father can't convince."
"Even if you think you're still young and don't want to get married so quickly, you can bravely go for it! Don't have any burdens! I mean, you young people should seize your youth and fully embrace it."
Medivh at this moment truly looked like an old Father, looking at August, whom he had raised himself, with indescribable emotions in his eyes.
In fact, Medivh was not a conservative parent…
Young people! When hormones are raging, they should embrace it.
They should become free spirits and go out and have fun!
What?!
You say some free spirit wants to trick my daughter?
Damn it, die!!!
Unbeknownst to him, Medivh had already become a double-standard old man.
"Father, you've really gone too far."
"Compared to me, you should worry more about your own romantic prospects, shouldn't you?"
"Do you think Mrs. Mary Jane, ever since her husband passed away, has been coming to the bakery every day because her daughter truly likes me? I don't think so, do you?"
August gave a helpless, wry smile in response.
In fact, August was more concerned about Medivh's future than his own…
After all, in the more than ten years since he was born…
After August was abandoned by Old Precht, adopted by Medivh, and lived together, in August's memory, Medivh's life consisted of training, taking care of him, and resting—a three-point-line routine.
Moreover, compared to him, who was unromantic and gave off a dull impression, Medivh was the real hot commodity in town…
This old Father, Medivh, who combined mystery, wealth, handsomeness, and mature stability, was simply the top choice for goddesses in town, from young girls just coming of age at fifteen or sixteen, to divorced mature women or widows in their thirties or forties.
"My affairs don't need you, kid, to worry about them."
Medivh was amused by August's words. He vigorously ruffled August's hair on his head. If he messed with another one, it would be completely chaotic, and he would really die…
Heh heh, if the members of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail eighty years later heard that August had once worried about Medivh's romantic prospects, they would surely burst into laughter.
Little did they know, Medivh was on par with Gildarts, the two scoundrels of Fairy Tail!
"Boom!"
Just as Medivh was hooking his arm around August's shoulder, messing up the smooth hair of August, who was haphazardly trying to set him up, a huge roar echoed in Medivh and the others' ears.
