Chapter 26: Natsu: The same trick won't work on me
Several people suddenly stopped talking. They all knew Kira's strength. He became an S-class wizard a long time ago and was very powerful, even stronger than Erza. In the guild, perhaps only the president Markrov and Gildarts could win with certainty. The others combined were not enough to beat him.
But I’m still eager to try!
In the hearts of these young people in the guild, Kira and Erza are like the older brothers and sisters in the family. Although they are both S-class wizards, their styles of doing things are completely different.
Normally, Erza was strict with everyone and herself, and she didn't like to see the guild in chaos. Every time they had a group fight, they had to do it behind her back. Once they were discovered, they would be severely scolded. But they couldn't beat Erza, so they could only obey her.
Kira, on the other hand, is more frivolous, and often plays jokes on people, but he always seems to be justified in doing so, and his arguments are well-reasoned. No one can beat him up, or talk him down, and in the end they can only be fooled.
However, Kira and Erza are like the two pillars of the guild. No matter how big or small the matter is, they can handle it properly and are more reliable than anyone else at critical moments.
Although Kira only comes to the guild once in a long time, he never refuses challenges or group fights. He always pins them to the ground and rubs them over and over again under the pretext of sparring and teaching. Natsu, Gray and others have all been taught "carefully" by him, and they still enjoy it.
"No need for anyone else! I want to challenge you alone!" Natsu was the first to stand up, rubbing his hands together, full of arrogance, which caused cheers from the guys around him.
"Well, you have courage! It seems that you have really grown stronger recently, Natsu! Maybe you can leave Gray and the others behind and successfully advance to the S-rank assessment of the guild this year!"
This guy's mentality is a little inflated. I'll praise him first and then teach him a lesson later.
Happy said to Lucy beside him: "Kira is playing tricks again. Natsu is being fooled."
Although Lucy didn't quite understand why Happy said that, she felt that it was right.
Fortunately, she knew it the next moment.
"Get rid of me ? I can't pretend I didn't hear you!"
"Just this guy Natsu?"
"Kira, explain to me clearly what 'Gray and his friends' are!"
"Be a man and decide the outcome with your fists!"
Kira's casual words suddenly made the atmosphere in the guild tense again.
At this moment, with a loud bang, the door was pushed open again, and a female figure with flamboyant red hair, bright armor, and flowing short skirt walked in, holding a huge monster horn in her hand. It was Erza who had returned from completing the mission.
Everyone stared blankly at Erza who came in. The fist that she had just swung out was frozen in the air, as if the time around her was suspended. Her expression and movements were frozen, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and her mind was full of random thoughts.
This time it should be the real Erza, right? What is that huge horn in her hand? Did she not notice what we are doing?
Only Kira thought differently from others: Is this the forging material you brought back for me?
Erza gently placed the demon horn in her hand on the ground. Although it was obvious that she had restrained her strength, this action still caused a loud noise on the ground.
"Erusa, you're back!"
"Where's the president?"
Mira replied: "The president went to the regular meeting."
Regular meetings are regular communication meetings among the presidents of magic guilds in various regions, mainly for the transmission and exchange of information.
He nodded to show that he understood. Then he saw Erza looking over. Her bright red long hair flicked slightly as she turned her head. Her eyes were sharp. "Were you guys fighting just now?"
! ! !
Still discovered!
"Not really..."
Before they could explain, Natsu rushed forward: "Hahaha! The same move won't work on me again!"
BANG!!!
Natsu punched Erza, who had her back facing him, and sent her flying, slamming hard into the wall.
"Nani!!!!"×N
Everyone present was completely petrified.
"Hehe, Natsu is done."
"That idiot!"
Natsu, who hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, laughed loudly, intoxicated in the joy of having seen through Kira's illusion magic: "Ahahahaha!!! I saw through it! Even if it's Erza, I can... beat... her away with just one punch..."
Wait, fly? The illusion of Mira just now seemed to have passed through directly...
! ! ! !
"Natsu!!! What are you doing???!!!" Erza's angry voice came from behind.
Natsu fainted instantly...
"Answer me, Natsu! Do you...want to die?"
Natsu stood up and rushed to Erza, then knelt down with a plop, hugged Erza's exposed thighs and said sincerely with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry Erza! Please forgive my ignorance and recklessness! Listen to my explanation! All this... is Kira's fault!"
"Yeah, I see. So...are you ready to die?"
It's over, Erza is angry, there's no way to avoid this...
BANG!!!
Natsu was knocked flying by Erza's punch and slammed hard against the wall, looking like he had lost his soul.
Of course, it was probably mostly out of fear.
Apparently due to the sneak attack, Erza was in a bad mood and started her usual lecture.
"Gray, put your clothes on!"
"Kana, please pay attention to your image!"
"Pikita, if you want to dance, go outside!"
"Wakaba, the ashes are all over the floor!"
"Nob, are you still wandering around the notice board all day? Hurry and decide on the mission!"
“…”
Everyone present was scolded, except Kira, Mira, and Lucy who had just arrived.
The first two knew their limits, and the latter just happened to be new, so Erza let her go.
"I won't say anything today, but in the future, even if the president is not around, you can't make such a fuss!"
Lucy: I've already said a lot...
Kira walked forward and patted Erza on the shoulder, saying with a smile: "That's enough, Erza, you don't have to be so serious all the time! Go easy on them sometimes. You don't know, the image of you in their hearts now..."
"Um?"
Gray and his men immediately rushed over and covered Kira's mouth tightly, tears streaming down their faces: "Please, don't tell me!"
The smile on Kira's face at this moment was as warm as the sun: "It depends on your performance."
Everyone: “We know.”
Lucy was speechless when she saw this scene, and secretly complained: "Really..."
At this moment, she seemed to think of something and immediately covered her mouth. When she looked up, Kira was looking at her with strange eyes.
Lucy was immediately horrified: Hehe...
Erza watched this scene quietly, puzzled: "What happened to the image of me in their minds?"
"No...Nothing! You are the most perfect person in the entire guild!" ×N
Erza smiled and lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and she said confidently and modestly: "I'm still far from being perfect! However, I will accept your compliments."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew... That was close, we finally escaped."
