Chapter 469 I am a man who can compete with Kira for the S-rank position! !
Just then…
"Wait for me, both of you!!" ×2
Natsu and Gray, who had appeared from the illusion at some point, supported each other and stood up. They looked at Gildarts and Killer with anger on their faces as they were about to fight.
One of them was defeated by Gildarts like a child, and the other was played around by Kira like a child. They didn't even use half of their original strength, and they felt somewhat unconvinced.
However, Kira and Gildarts were concentrating on guarding against each other, so they tacitly chose to ignore the two's behavior.
“We seem to be ignored…”
"Damn it!! I haven't given up yet!!"
With a burst of confidence, Natsu rushed forward with the same aggressiveness as he had a few minutes ago, but this time, he decided not to hold back and instead used his ultimate move directly.
"Natsu!! Damn it! This guy never listens to advice!"
Gray cursed the brainless Natsu again in his heart, but out of habitual concern, his body still chased after him honestly. He didn't even have time to complain to Kira about the unartistic graffiti on his body.
Kira and Gildarts remained indifferent, their eyes fixed on each other, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"Dragon-killing Secret..."
"Ice Demon's..."
Natsu and Gray rushed towards their respective targets desperately, while pushing their magic power to the limit. Just when they reached three meters away from Gildarts and Gar respectively, their ultimate moves were completely formed.
Bang!
With a sudden step, the two men stopped silently, and then threw out their special moves!
“…Red Lotus Blade!!”
" ...Excited!!"
The mighty flames and frost erupted at the same time, attacking the two figures standing quietly in place! The incomparable scale seemed to be able to completely swallow the two people!
However, seeing that a fight was about to break out, how could Kira and Gildarts let these two guys intervene?
"Get out of my way!!"
“Stop getting in the way!!”
BANG!!!
boom!!!
Two terrifying magical powers burst out from Kira and Gildarts, directly destroying the violent fire in Natsu's hand and the cold ice in Gray's hand, and even knocking them back dozens of meters! !
“Ehhhhh??!!!”
"How is that possible?!"
"Really?!"
The audience who were watching the battle stared at the scene in amazement, and only came to their senses when Natsu and Gray were knocked out of the screen and disappeared, followed by a series of exclamations.
"What's going on?! Gray is fine...wasn't Natsu just fighting Gildarts?"
"How dare you say that to Gray-sama?!" Juvia was furious and rolled up her sleeves to rush forward.
"Of course, this is because Gildarts didn't use his full strength just now... Now he and Killer are both eager to fight. Only Natsu would dare to rush forward at that time..."
"So Gray is the one being dragged down, isn't he?"
"If we get serious, even Natsu and Gray can't block a punch? How strong are those two guys..."
The older ones, Macao and Wakaba, began to tell ancient stories to the young people, especially Wakaba, who was biting a cigar, puffing smoke and acting like a master.
"Kira and Gildarts are very scary when they get serious! If I'm not mistaken, the last time they fought with all their strength was when Kira took the S-rank exam!"
"That was so many years ago..."
"Eight years... No, almost nine years! Kira was 12 years old that year."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted several young people who had only joined the guild for a few years.
"Although Kira has a high talent for magic, he probably couldn't beat Gildarts at that time, right?"
Makao raised his head slightly and answered with a hint of pride, "Of course! Gildarts has been the number one in the guild for many years and it's not for nothing!!"
"But Kira still got the title of S-class wizard that year, right?"
Wakaba nodded: "Yes, because he was recognized by Gildarts in that battle!"
After that, the two uncles who usually only knew how to drink and brag fell into reminiscence: "I remember that day, they fought in the mountains in the north of Magnolia."
Wendy frowned, raised her hand and asked, "The northern part of Magnolia? Isn't that a flat land with nothing there?"
"Can you guess why there is flat land there?"
The air suddenly became silent.
Several listeners seemed to understand.
Suddenly, Lucy, who had just woken up, broke the silence. She looked at Makao and Wakaba curiously and asked a question that was not in line with her emotional intelligence: "How do you two know so much?"
Nonsense! Who do you think Kira was competing with for the S-class wizard position at that time? !
Wakaba blushed immediately, jumped up and said angrily: "What don't we know ? You have to know that we are the elders of the guild. When it comes to the level of information, you little brats can't even compare to us!"
"That's right... Don't look at me like this now. When I was young, I was one of the best masters in the guild! It's normal for me to participate in the assessment with Kira!"
Makao was also a little embarrassed, but his son was next to him, and in order to maintain the image of a strong father, he didn't want to tell others about the embarrassing incident when he was beaten by Kira and was completely defenseless.
Although it was not shameful to lose to Kira, Kira was only 12 years old at that time, while Makao and Wakaba were middle-aged men in their 30s, which was somewhat embarrassing.
“That’s right… We are the two men who have competed with Kira for the S-rank spot!!”
The two old friends tacitly did not tell each other about their respective disastrous failures in the assessment that year, but from the expressions on their faces, the people around them already knew what was going on.
“They must have been miserable!”
"Yeah... After all, participating in the assessment means they are also present..."
“How pitiful…”
"They have fallen to the point where they can even take part in the exam. How much of a gap did Fairy Tail have back then..."
The voices of the few people talking became louder and louder. Makao and Wakaba's faces became redder and redder. The two of them huddled together, like two crabs in the same pot, emitting large amounts of white hot air after being steamed.
"Hey!! That's enough, you little brats!!!"
Even if you want to say it, you have to say it behind our backs! Don’t you know that you can’t expose someone’s shortcomings in front of them? ! Go back and ask the guild leader to make you copy the guild rules! !
However, the two men's anger did not receive apologies from others. Instead, they all looked at them with sympathy. Habib, the dead cat, was even more rampant. He covered his mouth and laughed secretly. However, he flew over to laugh on purpose, which made the two men so angry that their blood pressure rose. They wished they could catch him and starve him for a few meals, and then have a fish feast in front of him.
“You guys…”
Suddenly, a few noises suppressed the anger of the two men, which had no time to explode.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the source was Natsu and Gray. After being knocked away by the previous two moves, they activated the space-transfer magic attached to their bodies and were eliminated. They have now returned to the square.
“Ahhh… I don’t accept it!! I can still continue to fight, how could I be eliminated?!”
Natsu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and almost rushed up to question Makarov and let him let him in. Fortunately, there was Gray, who was sober, beside him. He reached out and grabbed Natsu's collar with such skillful movements that it was heartbreaking.
"One of the ways to determine if a contestant is eliminated is based on the strength of a single attack. Just now, it was because Kira and Gildarts knocked out the protective shield on us that the two of us were fine."
After listening to Gray's explanation, even though Natsu was unwilling, he had to admit that his skills were inferior to others. He walked towards the viewing area of 'Fairy Tail' in a depressed mood as Gray pulled him.
After the two men disappeared from sight, everyone was finally able to turn their attention to the final battle.
A much-anticipated decisive battle!
