Chapter 612: A Battle Resolved Instantly
All depends on talent? !
After talking for so long, you just give us this answer?
Everyone looked disappointed: "We knew you wouldn't have a serious answer!"
"Why is this answer so inappropriate?!"
Kira looked unhappy. "This sentence has cultivated many powerful martial artists! Such as 'King of Eating' Kakarot, 'King of Sacrifice' Krillin, and 'God of Tea' Yamcha..."
No one knew who these kings and gods were, but judging from Kira's expression and tone, they were probably not real kings and gods. However...
"Martial artist?"
"Ah, it's similar to wizard, adventurer, alchemist, and mercenary..."
"By the way, the 'Magic Tournament' that the guild started to hold last year was also inspired by the 'World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament'..."
Makarov looked confused: "Where is this competition? How come I have never heard of it?"
"Don't worry about that kind of thing..."
After simply evading the question, Kira finally turned his attention back to the two battles.
"Natsu vs. Juvia is a battle between water and fire, while Gray vs. Lucy is another kind of battle between demons and celestial spirits. Both should be very interesting to watch."
Augustus nodded with satisfaction; he thought so too.
Originally he wanted to draw lots for a two-on-two fight, but considering the difference in strength among the four people and their training, he finally changed to a one-on-one scoring rule.
On the other side, someone started to make a fuss when he saw the order of the game.
"Ahhh... I'm going to have to watch Gray-sama and Lucy being alone together. I don't want that!!"
Juvia had tears on her face. She bit her collar hard and pestered Gray to express her love. "Mr. Gray, you must promise Juvia that you can't do anything to Lucy that would let Juvia down while she's not around!!"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I just want to pass this year's assessment!"
Gray pushed Juvia away helplessly and impatiently, grabbed his hair, and walked towards the designated open space on his own.
"Did you hear that, Lucy? Gray-sama has no interest in you! Remember to stay away from Gray-sama, and don't secretly make out with Gray-sama while Juvia is away!!"
"I wouldn't do anything like that!!"
"Really? This is very suspicious..."
"Keep fighting Natsu, Juvia!"
Gray's voice came, and Juvia's eyebrows instantly lit up with joy, and her eyes turned into hearts: "Yes!! Gray-sama!! Juvia will never let you down!! "
It turned out that Gray's encouragement was the most successful stimulant for Juvia.
Seeing Gray supporting Juvia, Natsu was not willing to be left behind: "Lucy, you should also try your best to defeat Gray and surprise everyone!"
"Eh... that kind of thing..."
"Don't worry, Lucy is very strong! In comparison, Gray is..."
Natsu said, spreading his hands and shaking his head.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Natsu's meaning was very clear. Gray couldn't bear it anymore and squeezed in front of Natsu in two steps.
"Natsu what do you mean?"
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Didn't you lose yesterday?"
"Today is different from yesterday! If I have to do it again, I won't lose!"
Natsu picked his nose mockingly: "What's the difference? It's only been a day, I don't think you've gotten much stronger..."
"Oh, I can't stand it anymore. These two guys are starting over again..."
Happy sighed helplessly, and complained about the hot-blooded youth of the two 19-year-old boys in a naive way.
"In that case! Then let's see who can win this year's assessment! Let's see who can win the final victory!!"
"Okay, let's start from the first round and see who finishes the battle first!!"
Natsu and Gray's eyes collided in the air, creating hot sparks, and Lucy trembled: "Uh ... why do I have a bad feeling..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
“It hurts!!”×4
Fists as big as sandbags fell one after another, followed by Makarov's roar: "What are you guys still doing?! Get ready!!"
"Yes!!"×4
The blazing flames ignited the air, forming a red coat of flame around Natsu . The flames kept dancing, and suddenly, the temperature rose sharply. The flames evaporated the moisture in the air into steam, burning out thick smoke with white and black.
“Ohhhhhhh!! I’m on fire!!”
Natsu stepped on the ground with his feet, clenched his fists, and watched Juvia's every move. He looked full of fighting spirit. More and more flames emerged from his body. His strong fighting will shocked the spectators.
"Oh my goodness...Natsu looks so hot today."
"Natsu doesn't seem to be planning on letting us off... Juvia is also a girl!"
"That's natural, right? After all, Juvia isn't Lucy..."
That's right, Juvia is not Lucy, so Natsu will not let her go. Even though Juvia is also a guild member, she is now more of a rival.
Natsu would not hold back against any opponent - except Lucy.
What's more, he is now shouldering a bet with Gray.
As soon as these words came out, Kira found that several people showed the same kind smiles as himself. The strong sense of eating melons and the smiles of aunties were exactly the same as his own.
"As expected...are all the people in the guild Xia Lu's followers?"
Opposite Natsu, Juvia was also burning with passion. Her endless love seemed to turn into a volcanic eruption, and her magic power surged: "Gray-sama cheers Juvia on, so Juvia will not fall easily!!"
"Juvia seems to be very confident too..."
"Come on, Juvia-chan!!"
"You must win, Juvia! Your Gray is watching you!!"
“Nani?! Gray-sama is looking at me?! Ohhhhhhhh!! Juvia is going to get angry too!!!”
The harpy flapped its wings and shuttled between the wizards, serving as the battle reporter for the two places, while Xia Lulu and Lili watched on each side, ready to explain to the harpy at any time.
"First exam room, Natsu vs. Juvia!"
"From the perspective of momentum, both sides are now evenly matched. Although they haven't started fighting yet, based on our understanding of Natsu, his magic power is already 70% to 80% of its normal state. How about Juvia?"
Xia Lulu rolled her eyes and said, "I think she is already at her peak, right?"
"Eh?! Really?!"
"After hearing Gray's name, her whole magical power changed!"
Happy nodded, then flew to the other side happily: "Let's go to the second examination room, Gray vs. Lucy!"
"Oh, Gray has already entered the evil-destroying state?! Lucy has also put on the Star Spirit Clothes and summoned Rocky and Baluge?! Hasn't the battle started yet? They've already gone this far?!"
Li Li explained in a calm voice: "I think they are planning to decide the winner with one move..."
"Then let's wait and see!"
"The battle begins!!"
At Auguste's signal, Habib announced the start of the game.
Hearing the sound, Lucy and Juvia moved at the same time.
"Water flow..."
"Star Spirit..."
However……
"The one who wins first... is me!!" ×2
Although they were not in the same place, Natsu and Gray seemed to be in sync with each other, speaking in unison, and their magic power surged wildly, overwhelming Lucy and Juvia's magic with a simple and rude momentum.
“Eh…?!!”×2
The sudden change made Lucy and Juvia stunned for a moment, and they interrupted their special moves that had not yet been used.
And in the next moment, the two fell into deep regret, regretting why they stopped the magic in the last second.
A majestic magic, accompanied by a familiar shout and carrying endless power, came towards him with a thunderous impact.
"Fire Mode: Roar of the Fire Dragon!!!"
"Ice Devil's Excitement!!!"
At this moment, fire and ice occupied the entire vision of Juvia and Lucy respectively. The magic before them was as powerful as a landslide or tsunami, covering the whole sky and earth without leaving them any way to escape.
In order to fulfill their bet, Natsu and Gray chose to use their ultimate moves without hesitation, trying to end the battle as quickly as possible!
“No!!!”
At this moment, Lucy and Juvia's screams echoed throughout the Darus Mountains.
boom!!!
BANG!!!
Almost at the same time, flames and ice caused a shocking explosion. On one side, flames were flying like a black rope hell, and on the other side, the ice was bone-chilling, like a silver world.
The ice and fire spectacle was far superior to any previous one, and it stunned all the magicians present. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.
"These two idiots!!"
