⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Almost frantic panic attacks were about to get thrown in the air, carrying away the madness that drove through the short bluehead mage. She knew that beads of sweat were already grabbing her to get down, although she tried to slow down her breath to make her apprehension less nervous.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀They must've had in mind that she was so weak and powerless, and they were nowhere but in the wrong path. The bluehead was weak at points and where she lost everything she could've possibly have but now was no different from before. It's where her malignant spirits conceal, where she could release her actual skill.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jeraline was just raging; how rabid. Her magic was that beautiful, knightly stars and the whole galaxy that reigned through like shining gold lines. It was not usual that Jellal and Erza would be stroked by rushing bloods, just because they've never seen this kind of power. Sure, they've seen how strong their petite daughter was and how she is quite clever, they've never seen this particular development.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Eric also forgot about everything else when he saw his older sister's true power. He remembered her magic was nothing compared to the last time he saw her magic, which was not so long ago. His mind voices the echoes of wonder and excitement, as his eyes were very wide. "Sugoi, Onēsan. . . ," Eric mumbled, completely trapped in his state of surprise.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Did her magic get combined with Nee-san's and Jellal's magic?" Kagura asked herself, mouth slackening and almost being a lost of words. Of course she had took the percussion, never knowing that Jellal and Erza's child would be this strong. Her teeth were chattering from her extreme wonder.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jeraline clenched her teeth. "I feel like there's something stabbing me somewhere," she said, as her child act comes again to her own parents. "Mama, Papa, my stomach is aching. . ." She became even greatly battered as she thought of it, as the pain just suddenly started increasing.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jellal and Erza swiftly decreased their productivity, ensuring their paleness. To hear how their daughter felt an unanticipated bruise through her body made them hesitate, increasing their defensive side. As parents, how far concerned they'll go for their children. Jeraline was their first ever child, and she received highly abundant power than Eric, their second child, had. Although as mentioned long ago that they both treat them fairly equal, even if Eric did not have anything to do at this point.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Erza heightened her senses as she bit her lip, looking down at her daughter with a delicate expression on her face. "It must've been from the magic that was taken from you — although that gave you extra power — maybe it's from the new magic that you've received," Erza replied to her, and then sighing weakly. "Jeraline-chan, you can't fight at your fullest power. You'll get injured even more when you're already hurt."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jellal lowered his eyebrows at his daughter, pursing his lips. "Mama's right, Jeraline," he added. "You're pushing yourself to hard, especially when you've just gotten a huge amount of magic power — however, we're not saying that you're not capable of this. . ."
