Barty Crouch Jr., disguised as Mad-Eye Moody, once said in class that the Killing Curse cast by young wizards can merely cause a grown wizard to bleed from the nose. He also learned from Hagrid that most large magical creatures possess a strong resistance to magic.
Thus, the Killing Curse is not necessarily a guaranteed fatal spell; its lethality is relative. If the target's vitality exceeds that of an ordinary being and possesses high magical resistance, it can withstand the Killing Curse.
Take fire dragons, for example; there has never been a report of a fire dragon being killed by a dark wizard's Killing Curse in a single blow.
The typical way to subdue a fire dragon is to use a Blinding Curse to temporarily incapacitate it, followed by a hundred adult wizards simultaneously casting Sleep Spells to subdue it.
If he were to transform into a giant in the world of Harry Potter, he would have no fear of an ordinary dark wizard attempting to cast the Killing Curse on him.
In situations where there were too many dark wizards, he wouldn't be foolish enough to just stand there and take their attacks.
Evening soon arrived, and before leaving the library, George noticed a large door deep within the library, though it was locked.
"Levy, what's behind that door?"
He speculated that the locked door might conceal some particularly powerful magic, much like the restricted section of the Hogwarts library.
Earlier, Levy had mentioned that the first master of Fairy Tail had created three of the most powerful light-based super spells, which were said to possess extraordinary strength.
Of course, Levy clarified that this was merely hearsay, as she had never seen the master use them.
So, he had reason to believe that the door might be hiding the spellbooks of those three super spells.
Levy shook her head at George's curiosity about the door. "I'm not sure, but I've heard Sister Mira mention that only the master can enter there, and the door is sealed with a very complex and powerful magical enchantment.
Once, Natsu was curious and tried to sneak in, but the seal sent him flying; he was unconscious for two days before he woke up."
"Once I'm stronger, I'll definitely look for a chance to sneak in and take a peek."
Upon hearing this, George felt even more convinced that his suspicions were likely true.
Returning to the main hall on the first floor, George found that aside from Kana, who was drinking, and Mira, who was humming while cleaning, there were hardly any wizards left in the hall.
Some were off completing missions, while others returned to their dormitories.
In the town, the Fairy Tail guild provided separate dormitories for male and female wizards to live in.
As long as they paid a small monthly rent, they could choose to rent a nicer place, like a small villa in town, at their own expense.
"You're back! I saved some food for you; come try it!"
Seeing George, Levy, and the cat arrive, Mira set down the cleaning supplies and brought out four servings of dinner from the bar.
Aside from being the guild's prominent female figure, Mira also acted as the guild's head caretaker, managing the bar's drinks and food, as well as handling the guild's finances and miscellaneous tasks.
"Mira, you're the best!"
The petite Levy leaped into Mira's arms and nuzzled against her before digging into the food. She often found herself hungry after staying up late reading, and Mira always left her dinner.
"Thank you, Mira!"
Sarusuk, Doleil, and George all expressed their gratitude to Mira simultaneously.
As George prepared to sit down to eat, he noticed the half-finished cleaning. After a moment's thought, he waved his hands and began to chant a spell.
"Clean as New!"
Suddenly, all the dirt on the table and floor gathered together and automatically dropped into the trash can, while scattered cups and utensils flew neatly to the bar.
In the blink of an eye, the entire hall transformed into a clean and tidy space.
"What kind of magic is this?"
Seeing George's actions that resulted in a spotless hall, Mira and the others were wide-eyed in astonishment.
Among the spells they knew, they had never encountered anything like this.
"This is a Cleaning Spell, a type of household magic that I learned accidentally during my travels over the past few years. It's not for combat; it's only for cleaning."
George casually fabricated an excuse and began using his tail to grab a spoon, ready to enjoy his dinner.
Since he planned to stay at the guild to learn and research magic instead of going out on missions, he figured he might as well be helpful.
By assisting with repairs and cleaning the hall, he could demonstrate his value and earn everyone's goodwill.
As for money, he had the Unseen Extension Spell and didn't worry about finances. Crafting some spatial gear and selling it in a few cities would likely earn him money faster than doing tasks.
"It seems you know quite a bit of magic, George."
Mira, sitting beside him, couldn't help but reach out to pet his cat head.
While being petted felt pleasant, George quickly suppressed the physical enjoyment, dodging Mira's hand. "Most of it is non-combat magic; I can't compare to everyone else."
"You don't need to fight, George. As long as you practice that repair spell well, if anyone dares to bully you, all the wizards in our guild will twist their heads off and kick them like a ball!"
Sarusuk chimed in with a laugh.
Although there was a joking tone to his words, it wasn't entirely exaggerated.
George was currently the guild's treasure; anyone who dared to harm him would have to face the wrath of all the guild's wizards, especially Master Makarov.
Upon hearing Sarusuk's words, everyone burst into laughter.
George shook his head helplessly; he found this situation quite nice. At least he had a reliable backing in this world, freeing him from safety concerns.
Thus, they chatted and ate until night fell.
After locking the guild's door, Mira helped carry the tipsy Kana, and they all headed toward the town center together.
Mira, Levy, and the others were returning to the guild's dormitory, while George was going back to the inn. Since they traveled the first part of the route together, they walked as a group.
Once back at the inn, George began summarizing the magic knowledge he had learned that day and started his introductory practice of Giant Magic, attempting to enlarge parts of his body.
It was best to start with easier parts, like his fingers and toes, or even using a smaller version of himself wouldn't be a bad idea.
In the following days, George immersed himself in steady magic study and research.
He was always the first to arrive at the guild, spending time in the library reading or chasing after Master Makarov in the hall to ask about magic. Occasionally, he would help with repairing the guild hall and cleaning.
Most nights, he would leave with Levy's team; if they were on a mission away from the guild, he would be on his own.
As time passed, he became more familiar with the guild's wizards.
He learned things he hadn't known before.
For instance, Natsu didn't merely use simple fire magic; he practiced Dragon Slayer Magic, a type of magic used by dragons. It was much stronger than regular fire magic and could consume all flames to enhance his own magical power.
Therefore, ordinary fire wizards were no match for Natsu, the Dragon Slayer.
Additionally, it turned out that Natsu had been raised by a dragon, who also taught him magic. One day, that dragon disappeared, and that was how he ended up joining Fairy Tail.
He could be considered a human-dragon hybrid.
Sometimes George thought that perhaps he could create a wand in this world that would fall into Natsu's hands.
Using Natsu's hair as the core of the wand would likely be a great choice.
