Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 24 The Dueling Magister
"Mom, you must have never imagined what happened to your daughter. Although I have only joined the guild for less than a week, I have already experienced battles that ordinary mages can't imagine, although I am more of a spectator. Fairy Tail is indeed the best guild, everyone is so strong, the three of them defeated the legendary demon, and also defeated a dark guild by the way; Senior Woz is also very powerful, His defensive magic can actually wrap the entire building...

"...I'm also in this strongest team. Sure enough, I'm also a new generation of guild stars, right? Soon, I will become a really useful mage like my mother...

"I'm very happy here, everything is fine, mom doesn't have to worry, everyone is taking good care of me. Well, that's all for now, I wish you well. Also, as always, please don't tell dad about these things."

Lucy put down her pen, carefully folded the letter paper, and then stared at the sky outside the window.There was a moment of peace.After the big battle, she was tired. Although she didn't do anything, Lucy felt that it was already very strenuous just to follow Erza and the others in high-intensity and fast-paced battles along the way.It's hard to fathom where Natsu's seemingly inexhaustible energy comes from.

When I went to the guild in the morning, I saw Natsu making noise in the guild as usual, without any signs of fatigue.Not only him, Gray was the same as before, and even Erza, who consumed the most in the battle, chatted and had breakfast with everyone as if nothing had happened.

Under everyone's booing, Natsu talked about yesterday's battle with great interest, but he didn't mean to show off his strength at all, and the center of the topic was diverted to the appearance of the devil.However, as long as everyone was happy, and it would save him and Happy from running to their house all the time.

Having your own private space is awesome!Lucy thought so, and then turned around.

"Why is it you this time!" Lucy was shocked and angry when she saw Gray sitting on her sofa with her upper body naked, "And don't undress in someone else's house!"

"Hello, Lucy!" Grey greeted calmly, and did not forget to explain: "I came in after undressing outside."

"Who wants to listen to your explanation! Get out of my house!"

Gray shrugged, didn't care, and asked instead: "It seems that Lucy has forgotten, right? Natsu is going to challenge Erza today."

"Huh?" Lucy recalled Naz's challenge at the train station, "So you really want to fight?"

Gray said, "Of course, it's on the horse, so I'm here to let you know. Want to go?"

"Of course!"

The street in front of the guild was already surrounded by a large number of guild members, and it was a dense area. The two sides were in the middle, and the guild leader didn't stop him.People kept cheering and cheering for the two.

"It's really lively." Lucy squeezed into the crowd, "Is this okay? The two of them fought?" Recalling the battle the day before yesterday, Lucy doubted whether the street could survive the firepower of the two.

"It's no problem, it's just a duel, they will be in control, and the president is watching them." Mirajane said with a smile, "If Woz is here, it will be even more foolproof."

"That's right, Senior Woz said it's fine!" Lucy clapped her hands, "So, what about Senior Woz?"

Mirajane did not show a smile on a rare occasion, and turned her head to look at the suburbs outside the city, with a serious expression on her face: "Woz, he has something to do now."

Lucy didn't notice the change in Mirajane's expression, but turned her attention to Kanna's bet—it was no longer necessary to start the game, and no one would buy Naz to win.

"Looks like Natsu is doomed."

Gray sneered, "Of course, he's still far behind." He never let go of any opportunity to mock Naz.

"What about you?" Lucy asked curiously. She had roughly understood that Gray and Natsu's strengths were almost at the same level.

Gray paused and said, "At least I won't go up to challenge so recklessly."

Under the light, Erza changed her armor.It was a set of crimson armor with golden flame decorations, and her hairstyle had changed into a double ponytail. The temperament of the whole person had changed, as if it was more lively and full of vitality than usual.

"The Armor of Emperor Yan!" Someone who knew him exclaimed, "Elusha, you really don't give Natsu any hope."

Naz didn't care, but he laughed and said, "That's great! This way I can fire with full power!"

Erza smiled: "Are you ready?"

Natsu ignited a flame in his hand, full of pride: "Come on, Erza, I am no longer the kid I used to be. Look at my growth over the years!"

"But Erza is also constantly growing." Gray said helplessly.Indeed, everyone in the new generation has ushered in a stage of rapid growth in recent years, and their strength has been greatly improved; but in this way, Erza, who originally had S-level strength, still steadily overwhelmed others.This frustrates Gray, who is a boy, and Erza is an insurmountable peak in front of all their new generations.

Makarov waved his hand in the middle: "Start!"

Natsu couldn't wait to rush out, and Erza also waved her sword to meet her. Her Flame Emperor Armor has strong fire resistance, so Erza didn't care about Natsu's flame at all.But Natsu didn't completely rely on the flame, but just used it as a weapon to hit Erza's sword.

Although both of them were mages, they mostly used melee combat to duel.The physical qualities of the two are beyond the level of ordinary magicians. One has a powerful physique comparable to that of a dragon under the influence of dragon slaying magic, and the other has a warrior physique that has been tempered to the extreme. The magic support of the peak level under the great magician; the melee combat between the two sides was also extremely exciting, winning rounds of cheers from the surrounding audience.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, once the advantages of physical fitness and magic power are offset, Natsu, who basically relies on instinct to fight, is no match for the hardened swordsman Erza. Soon Natsu was suddenly kicked by Erza To break the balance, Natsu reacted quickly and immediately took the opportunity to turn his head and let out a roar.Erza easily dodged, but the fireball rushed into the crowd, making the nearby people dodge.

Gray released the ice shield to block the roar, and said helplessly, "I knew it would be difficult for them to control the area so easily in a fight."

Erza seized the opportunity to continue her fierce attack, and began to completely suppress Natsu, slashing Natsu's chest with a sword.Although Naz rushed back to defend, he was still sent flying to the viewing area.

The scaled skin of the dragon kept Natsu from being injured, and quickly killed him back.At this moment, the crowd parted, and a frogman wearing council robes walked in, clapping his hands and saying, "Sorry to bother you, but let's stop here for the duel."

Natsu shouted unhappily: "What's going on? Who are you?"

The frogman said: "I am a commissioner of the Council. I was ordered to arrest Erza Shukaret on 11 charges including destroying public property."

"What?" The guild members shouted in shock.No one thought that Erza would be taken away, and she saved the president's regular meeting and wiped out the Dark Guild.

On the other hand, Erza herself didn't get too excited, and followed the frogman obediently.In the previous crusade against Iron Forest and Lalabai, although Woz helped to save the regular meeting building, Erza's team had already caused moderate damage to a railway station and a section of railroad tracks in the battle before. .

President Makarov didn't stop him either, he just asked everyone to calm down and went back to the guild to drink.Lucy also returned to the guild with everyone, but felt that everyone became silent, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified, without the usual laughter.Only Mirajane still kept smiling, comforting others.

"Makao, hurry up and catch Naz, don't let him cause trouble." The president said suddenly.

Only then did Lucy notice that Natsu, who should have been the most excited, was not here.What will he do then?This is not a guess at all.

Mirajane also came to Lucy's side: "Well, don't worry too much about Lucy, Erza will be fine. I think she will be back tomorrow as soon as possible."

"Huh? Is it?"

Mirajane nodded with a smile: "This is just a formality to go to the Senate, in order to understand the details of the incident, but it will not be shameful to our guild, so we will do this. But usually our guild does leave a lot of excuses, there is no way That’s right. Even with Woz’s help, it’s still not enough. So Erza, the S-rank mage of the guild, has to deal with it by herself.

"Is this politics?" Lucy was speechless.But after hearing Mirajane's explanation, she was really relieved.It can be seen that most of the members actually understand this, so they quickly regained their vitality.It's just that I'm still a little uncomfortable.

"Boom..." There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance.

Makarov looked up to where the voice came from, and suddenly asked Mirajane, "Where is Woz?"

Mirajane said in a low voice, "It's right there." She also looked towards the outskirts of the city.

The president was silent for a moment, with a headache, "The two of them also... Is Woz's injury okay?"

Mirajane was also distressed: "He himself said that there is no problem. I don't know what happened, but Woz suddenly agreed to Laxus' challenge so readily. He clearly opposed it before."

"Hey, after all, they are all young people." The president sighed, "Maybe it's because he thinks it's too embarrassing for him to avoid the challenge of Laxus in front of you all the time?"

Mirajane smiled and said, "Ah, the president still has the mind to joke around? Don't you worry?"

"With Woz here, I don't need to worry too much." Makarov agreed slowly.

Mirajane reminded: "But there is still Laxus."

"Since they are dueling outside the city, there is no need to worry about it." The president shook his head, "I can't stop him forever."

Mirajane was also silent.Laxus is really the "problem boy" in the guild.And the strength is strong, except for Woz, and the uncle who is basically not in the guild, I am afraid that no one below the president is really in his eyes.
