Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: First Major Customer!

"Finally! Fairy Tail! So cool~~!"

The blonde reporter was full of excitement and immediately began looking for interview targets as he stepped inside, his eager gaze scanning the guild hall.

"Is that... Mirajane, The Demon?! So cool~~!"

With a loud shout, the reporter rushed excitedly toward Mirajane.

Mirajane was busy serving drinks in the hall, but when she noticed him, she greeted him with a smile.

"Jason-san, you\'re just the same as always."

"So cool~~!" Jason replied with his signature phrase, quickly raising his camera.

"Mirajane, can I take a few photos? You\'re going to be in the next issue of the magazine..."

Suddenly, a loud, angry voice interrupted him.

"So it\'s you!"

Jason turned around and grew even more excited than when he saw Mirajane.

"Natsu! The real \'Fire Dragon\' Natsu! This is amazing! So cool~~! You\'re so awesome!"

His excitement got the better of him, and he bit his tongue, speaking incoherently.

"You\'re the guy who keeps writing bad things about me!" Natsu growled.

"Yes! That\'s me!"

"You always write about what I\'ve destroyed, then destroyed again, and how much more I\'ve destroyed!"

Natsu spat flames from his throat as he angrily shouted in Jason\'s face. The next moment:

"Take this punch!"

Boom!

Jason was sent spinning 360 degrees, his face swelling up immediately.

"That\'s the Fire Dragon\'s Iron Fist! So cool~~!"

Even while getting punched, Jason couldn\'t stop saying it.

"Ah... Are you okay, Jason-san?" Mirajane asked, sweating slightly.

Nate walked over, crouched down, and patted the reporter\'s face.

"Still alive?"

Lying on the floor, Jason suddenly opened his eyes with a look of pure joy.

"Hello, I\'m Nate."

"You... You... You\'re the famous newcomer, Nate! The creator of Internet Magic!"

Jason, trembling with excitement, jumped up from the floor and eagerly extended his hand.

"Can I... Can I shake your hand?"

Nate\'s mouth twitched. This reporter seemed a bit like a fanatic, but he still shook his hand politely.

"So cool~~!" Jason spun around in excitement.

"I actually met the Master of the Magic Net! I won\'t wash my hand for a week, you have my word!"

Nate: "..."

Um, no. It\'d be better if you washed it.

"I heard your magazine wants to go online?" Nate asked.

"Yes! That\'s exactly what I\'m here to discuss!" Jason nodded enthusiastically.

"An online magazine—so cool~~!"

"Let\'s talk, then," Nate suggested, looking around the hall. He noticed Lucy sitting at an empty table, so he led Jason over.

Lucy, who was browsing the forum in the corner, looked up curiously as Nate approached with Jason.

"Nate, who\'s this?" Lucy asked.

"He\'s a reporter from \'Sorcerer Weekly\'."

"Sorcerer Weekly?!"

Lucy\'s eyes widened in surprise. That magazine was incredibly famous, and she used to ask Mrs. Spetto to buy it for her every week. It was how she first learned about Fairy Tail and had often seen Mirajane featured as a beautiful model in it. So... was \'Sorcerer Weekly\' here to interview her?

Lucy started to get excited. What should she do if she became a cover girl? What if she accidentally became a celebrity? Would her father see her in the magazine?

"Hi, I\'m Lucy, a new member of Fairy Tail," she said eagerly.

"Oh," Jason responded, barely glancing at her before eagerly turning back to Nate.

"Nate-san, can you help our magazine get online? Can it be done? We\'re willing to pay whatever it costs!"

Lucy was frozen in place, feeling completely ignored.

Oh? That\'s it? That\'s all the interest in me? Don\'t you want to interview me?

Watching Jason enthusiastically pepper Nate with questions, Lucy mechanically sat down next to Nate, staring at him with a resentful gaze. Nate wanted to laugh but held it in, reaching out to pat her head gently.

"She\'s a fellow newcomer and a Celestial Spirit Mage," Nate introduced.

"A Celestial Spirit Mage!?" Jason\'s eyes lit up as he got excited again.

"So cool~~! I\'m Jason from \'Sorcerer Weekly\'."

Lucy blushed and, this time, responded more reservedly, nodding slightly.

"Hello."

"Hello, hello! Celestial Spirit Mages sign contracts with spirits and summon them for battle, right? Could you tell me which spirits you\'ve contracted with...?"

Jason quickly went into work mode but then suddenly stopped, shaking his head furiously.

"No, no, the magazine is more important right now! Stay focused, Jason!"

Nate couldn\'t help but roll his eyes. This reporter was definitely passionate about his job.

"Let\'s talk business first," Nate said.

"Your company wants to move the magazine to the Internet Magic. That\'s doable, but there are a few things you need to know..."

Jason nodded vigorously.

"Please go ahead."

"I can create a dedicated section for you, similar to the Magic Net Forum. We\'ll call it \'Sorcerer Weekly\'."

"I\'ll give you the necessary administrative permissions to manage and edit the content for that section freely."

"But, are you planning to provide the magazine for free to readers?"

Jason paused, unsure.

"Can we charge for it?"

That had been a topic of internal discussion at the magazine, but they didn\'t know how to implement it. For now, the plan was to offer the magazine for free to all Internet Magic users.

"I have a suggestion," Nate said with a smile.

"In the near future, I\'m planning to launch a new feature called \'Magic Net Delivery\'."

He explained how the delivery system would work and then continued,

"Whether or not you make the digital magazine free is up to you, but if users want to buy physical copies, this feature will help you."

Hearing this, Jason began to tremble with excitement.

"So cool~~!"

"I understand, Nate-san! So, people can pay online, and then we can use \'Magic Net Delivery\' to send the magazine directly to them?"

Nate nodded. For small items like magazines, the magic consumption wouldn\'t be too high. With the current reserves of magic power in the Deep Net, it was sustainable.

"That\'s amazing!" Jason quickly pulled out a pen and paper, scribbling down notes to make sure he didn\'t forget any details.

"Don\'t get too excited just yet," Nate cautioned.

"The delivery function isn\'t free. Every item sent will require points. But if you don\'t have enough points, I can open up a channel for you to purchase them with J-Currency."

"I understand! I\'ll make a note of that too!" Jason eagerly wrote it down.

Since Jason was just a reporter and couldn\'t make decisions on these matters, the two of them discussed some further details and reached a preliminary agreement. Nate was very satisfied with having \'Sorcerer Weekly\' as the first client for \'Magic Net Delivery\'.

With \'Sorcerer Weekly\' being such a well-known publication, once people saw this kind of online shopping system in action, it would likely cause a stir. The value of points would increase, and when the time was right, perhaps Nate could monetize it.

Of course, more important than the financial gains, Nate was focused on the growth of the Internet Magic itself. The more people used it, the more magic power he could collect.
