Chapter Title: Irene's Strength!
-------------------------------------
The three girls wore a black and white maid outfit, a pure white chef outfit, and a pitch-black martial arts outfit respectively.
"Ilya!"
"Ian!"
"Eden!"
"Greetings, Lady Irene, Young Master Evan, and Miss Erza!"
The instant the three girls appeared, they immediately knelt on one knee while facing Irene, Evan, and Erza, and spoke with respectful expressions.
"Look, Evan. This way, the matter of us not having enough manpower is solved~"
Irene looked at Ilya, Ian, and Eden with satisfaction. She was very happy with her own work, and she simultaneously turned to look at Evan while smiling.
"Indeed, it’s solved!"
Evan nodded without changing his expression, but he felt a burst of shock in his heart.
‘What an exaggerated magic power!’
Previously, because there was absolutely no magic power inside his body, although Evan knew that Irene was very powerful, he couldn’t feel exactly how powerful she actually was.
It wasn't until just now, when Irene had displayed a High Enchantment magic right in front of his face, which was enchanting personalities and magic power onto three ordinary tools, that he finally felt the tip of the iceberg that was Irene's majestic magic power.
Only by feeling the magic power inside Irene's body could Evan understand his own weakness. At the same time, he also finally knew why in the original work, the mages of Fairy Tail, including the First Guild Master Mavis, would all reveal expressions of terror upon seeing Irene, as if they had seen some terrifying monster. It was because she had a magic capacity that was in a completely different dimension!
The most intuitive manifestation of this was that even the magic power inside the bodies of the three personalities Irene had casually enchanted was greater than Evan's current capacity. One must know that his magic power had already been upgraded to level six. According to the prompts given by the system, level six magic power already rivaled, or was even higher than, some S-Class mages of light guilds. But even so, the magic power inside his body was still smaller than these three new personalities that Irene had casually created.
In other words, these three personalities all possessed Wizard Saint level potential in terms of magic power!
As long as they casually displayed some strength outside and cleared out a few dark guilds, they could easily obtain the title of Wizard Saint!
Although there was still a gap between the three of them and the top few, taking down the bottom ranks would simply be too easy for them...
If the people of the Magic Council knew that the ten strongest mages of the Ishgar Continent whom they had painstakingly selected were only at the level of bakery staff in this small town on the border, they would definitely go crazy...
Going a step further, if the people of the Magic Council knew that these so-called possessors of Wizard Saint level magic power were nothing but grunts casually enchanted by Irene, then they would probably not just go crazy. The magical worldview that they had built up by relying on their experience, having studied and developed magic their entire lives, would instantly collapse, directly shattered by the inconceivable scene in front of Evan now.
The supreme powerhouses in their eyes were nothing more than ants that could be casually annihilated in the eyes of others, unable to withstand a single blow...
"Young Master, my name is Ilya, I’m your and Miss Erza's maid~"
Ilya had a calm personality. She wore a smile like the spring breeze, and was as beautiful as a big sister next door.
"Young Master, my name is Ian! I’m our bakery's waitress and chef! If the Young Master needs anything, just find me directly! Ian guarantees to complete it ten thousand percent!"
Ian, who was wearing a white chef outfit, had a lively personality, as if she had endless energy within her body. She was a proper energetic girl, very cute.
"Young Master, my name is Eden. I’m responsible for protecting the Young Master and Miss Erza!"
The black-clad Eden was reticent. Her eyes were sharp, seemingly ready to eliminate any danger around Evan and Erza at any time. She was a typical cool girl, full of a valiant aura.
The three personalities Irene enchanted all had distinct and different personalities.
"I’ll rely on you three in the future. Thanks for your hard work!"
Evan nodded to the three of them, respect on his face. Even though the three in front of him were nothing more than illusory lives, he still gave them the respect they deserved.
***
Ever since Ilya, Ian, and Eden started helping out, Evan's hands were directly freed. He only needed to stay in the shop every day, and he could easily complete his daily quests. This kind of life was simply too good for him.
"Damn it! One Erza isn't enough, there are actually this many more?!"
Uncle John, the blacksmith from next door, came to the bakery the next day. After looking at the three extra girls and asking for their names, he looked like he was shedding tears in the wind, as if he had suffered some sort of blow.
"However, even so, I won’t give up!"
John shouted. He bought a bag full of bread and spoke earnestly to Evan.
"Evan, go tell Irene that my feelings won’t change! No matter how many more she has outside, I’m willing to accept them all! True love is invincible!"
"..."
Evan looked at John speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
"Thank you for your patronage! Please come again~"
However, before John could hear Evan's reply, he was escorted out of the bakery under the smiling service of Ilya and Ian.
"Alert! Alert!"
"Discovered someone harboring malicious intentions!"
Eden, who held two small daggers in her hands while protecting Evan's surroundings, looked at Uncle John warily.
"No, the other party’s just an ordinary person, posing almost no threat to me, but..."
Although Evan thought this, he still didn't say anything else. In his view, dispelling John’s obsession with Irene as early as possible was a good thing.
Sometimes, letting an ordinary person recognize reality early on was a good thing...
In the following days, Evan lived a dull yet meaningful life.
Watching Erza grow bigger day by day, Evan even felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment!
Aside from this, as his daily quests increased, the funds he could obtain every day were also doubling.
Not long after, he saved up enough for his upgrades, leveling up the only two LV5s on his panel to LV6!
At this point, the magic column on Evan's panel became...
-------------------------------------
Magic:
Magic Power: LV6 (+)
Enchantment Magic: LV6 (+)
Separation Magic: LV6 (+)
-------------------------------------
After reaching LV6, if he wanted to upgrade his abilities again, he would need over a million funds. Even with the funds Evan could obtain from his daily quests being doubled, gathering enough to upgrade even just one skill to level 7 would still require him a lot of time to accumulate!
Moreover, Evan discovered that the gap between level 6 and level 7 was a watershed. Once upgraded to level 7, an ability would experience a qualitative leap. Whether it was magic power or magic, both would receive a massive enhancement.
Not only would his magic power reach a level sufficient to rank among the Wizard Saints of the Ishgar Continent, but even his Enchantment Magic would advance from ordinary Enchantment Magic to the level of High Enchantment Magic. Of course, even within High Enchantment Magic, there were still qualitative differences. If Evan wanted his Enchantment Magic to reach Irene's level, he still had a very long way to go.

T/N - So Irene conjures up helpers for the MC in this chapter. I find it funny that these three enchantments of Irene could rival the Wizard Saints in magic power. Is it lore-accurate? No fricking clue. But it does sound fun. I hope the Wizard Saints see these three, and then they get heart attacks when they hear that Irene can basically mass-produce them. 😂
