Chapter 8: Elusa
"When will Su Mo's cultivation end?"
In the fairytail guild hall, Gray was lying on the table shirtless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info's expression was full of helplessness and irritability, "I knew that I shouldn't have let my grandfather agree to Su Mo's cultivation of magic." ”
"Goo-do-......" Kana sat across from him, holding a bottle of wine and pouring wine proudly. Hearing what he said, he finally put down the bottle. Drunkenly asked, "What's wrong with Gray these days?
"Ahh......h
"Huh, hey, hey!" Gray was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Kana's gaze and yelled as if he remembered something, "It's not what you think!!
"Hee-hee...... ......" Kana chuckled drunkly, and then poured herself another sip of wine. He said, "I don't need to explain! Hahaha...... It turns out that Gray ...... Hahaha......"
"Hey, hey!" Gray said with black lines on his head, "Stop messing around! Today is the two-year anniversary of Su Mo's arrival at Fairytail!"
"Huh?" The blue-haired girl reading a book next to her raised her head, "It's Su Mo-chan's birthday today?"
A quiet voice, a weak appearance. The girl with short blue hair had a look of wisdom in her eyes, a look that only a scholar can have. Her name is Rebi, Rebi Makugaden.
"Yes, that's right!" Gray nodded affirmatively, and his expression became embarrassed again. "But where did this guy Su Mo go to practice...... Have you forgotten such an important day?"
Because of Su Mo's amnesia, his birthday has also become a mystery. Therefore, Gray, who is Su Mo's good friend, set the day he and Su Mo met, that is, the day Su Mo joined the fairy tail (fairytail), as Su Mo's birthday.
Last year, everyone in the guild had a great time.
After waiting quietly for a long time, there was still no shadow of Su Mo at the door. Gray grew impatient and walked up and down the hall. I look like I'm not happy, and no one should mess with me.
Really...... Damn Su Mo, he dared to forget such an important day!! the young man thought indignantly, he had been looking forward to today's party since a few days ago.
The irritable Gray doesn't like anyone now, especially the girl who has been here for almost two years, but she still doesn't talk to anyone or play with anyone just like she did yesterday.
She had a nice name, Elusa, Elusa Shukalet. The same as the name is the bright red hair, but not as enthusiastic as the hair color.
Withdrawn, cold and arrogant. Every day is like that, a hard piece of armor, a cup of coffee that is half hot and cold.
"Hey!" Gray was even more upset, slamming his fist the table in front of the girl. "I said, today is Su Mo's birthday! ”
The girl was slightly stunned, and the coffee that had been brought to her mouth in her hand stagnated. She looked at the angry Gray, a little confused: "Su Mo... He's back?"
"Hey, do you want to fight?" Gray began to explode in anger.
……
Su Mo really forgot about the days, in the mountains for three months, he had already ignored his birthday, let alone thought that unconsciously, he had been in the tail of the fairy for two years.
His progress is astonishing, and his magic power is even more abundant than Gray's.
The magic books also allowed him to master a lot of secret techniques for countering magic, and even some of the power of mysteries.
Although immature, it was enough to make him happy for a long time.
Revenge Counter: Accumulate all incoming attacks, then counter them at the right time.
Very powerful. It's just that there is one thing that worries him very much.
That is, he is progressing too fast. Although it is stated in the book, the degree of body tempering will affect the speed at which the magic can be contained. The stronger, the faster. But that's too fast, isn't it?
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't eaten indiscriminately, Su Mo would have thought that he had taken some magic medicine to be so powerful.
And will too fast speed bring any hidden dangers? He felt that it was necessary to ask Laxus or the old man about this.
However, after returning to Magnolia, he did not go back to the guild first, but went to the vegetable market first.
Of course, the reason is not that I remembered my birthday. Instead, I feel that if I haven't gone back to take a look for so long, "some people" in the guild must be full of resentment.
After a while, Su Mo walked towards the guild with a large bag of ingredients.
"Next time!"
"Bye-bye~"
The enthusiastic and cheerful voice of the vegetable seller made Su Mo feel a lot more relaxed. After all, it's still the same flavor that I'm familiar with.
After waving goodbye to the vegetable seller, he walked back to the guild with apprehension and excitement. Of course, I was nervous because I had been away for too long, but I was excited to see everyone again.
Since coming to the guild, it was the first time that Su Mo had been away for so long, and it was inevitable that he was a little uneasy.
Well, Gray and Laxusgow aren't going to say anything, are they? And the old man...
The boy thought to himself that the familiar three-story building was already close at hand. Su Mo cheered in his heart, forgot all about his apprehension and excitement, and subconsciously accelerated his pace.
However, the next moment, an unexpected scene appeared. The door of the Fairytail guild was suddenly violently broken open from within, and a familiar figure flew out of it. rolled on the ground in embarrassment and lay on the ground a few times.
"Huh?" Su Mo was stunned, is this a welcome to herself? But this kind of welcome is too ...... The corners of the boy's mouth twitched.
A flash of light crossed the corner of his eye, and it was the smell of weapons. In order to cultivate the fullcounter, Su Mo also prepared a bamboo knife for himself before practicing.
It was a normal magic item that wasn't expensive, and even some cheap. After three months of practice, he had become familiar with the light brought by the weapon.
There are enemies!, this was Su Mo's first thought, but the second thought also came to mind.
He's going to kill Gray!
For his friend's worries, he made the fastest response. The ingredients were thrown to the ground, and the bamboo knife behind his back was in his hand. At the moment when the unknown enemy rushed out of the guild, Su Mo attacked fiercely.
A thin blade as light as a bamboo leaf suddenly appeared in front of Gray. "Ping Pong ......"
The collision of weapons let out a soft groan, and Su Mo's hands were numb from the shock. The figure also took a few steps back due to the huge impact force.
And because of his sudden attack, the attacker was also shocked back by his force several meters by his sudden attack.
Only then did Su Mo see that it was a girl with beautiful red hair. The girl was very beautiful, except that one eye was injured and wrapped in gauze. And the danger of this girl is proportional to her beauty.
Of course, Su Mo knows this, they have known each other for two years. And he still didn't know anything about her.
Elusa Shucaret. A girl who is more arrogant and withdrawn than Laxusgo, like... Just like a wolf!
In the same way, the girl's gaze was full of surprise. She's not cold by nature, either. The people in this guild, except for Su Mo, everyone has an unspeakable past. Maybe it was despair, maybe it was gloom, and this experience made her completely lock herself off.
So, every day I wear hard and cold armor. It makes her feel safe, albeit just a little bit.
But for what happens in the guild every day. She seems to be indifferent, but she is very clear.
For example, the boy in front of you. Half a year ago, he didn't know magic, and he was said to have been taught by the well-known genius Laxus. Now, has it reached this level?
Subconsciously, she was a little unconvinced. I want to try it, to see what level of strength this guy has.
Of course, more because she was annoyed.
It's been almost two years since I followed the old man's will and entered the guild.
Elusa loved the atmosphere of the guild, and although it was always a bit noisy, it was a life she couldn't live a luxury before. If...... If you don't have this guy who obviously can't beat himself and still insists on doing it......
The girl felt innocent, she just liked to sit there and watch everyone play. Why does this guy named Gray keep coming for his own trouble?
Obviously can't beat himself.
Moreover, she just asked casually. Has Su Mo come back? Maybe the tone is more blunt, but what else does he want!
I was so angry!
Annoyed, Elusa made up her mind to teach him a lesson today.
Let him never dare to come to his own trouble again!
The light in his hand flickered, and a long knife that exuded the aura of fire appeared in his hand. This is a meeting gift from the old man of the president, and she likes it very much.
Su Mo didn't know the girl's thoughts, and he couldn't help but be a little excited when he saw Elusa's movements.
In the guild, Elusa's strength is well known.
Now, if he wants to test his strength standards, in addition to Laxusgo, Elusa is the most suitable person.
And Elusa's current actions are exactly what he wants.
The bamboo knife was raised slightly, and the next moment, two immature figures rushed towards each other at the same time.
The long knife that emitted scorching flames danced at Su Mo's side. Let his eyes brighter and brighter.
The bamboo knife is tilted, and the combat experience formed in the past six months is slightly inferior to that of Elusa. However, he was able to respond quickly. The light of the knife flickered towards Elusa's visual blind spot, a sudden slash.
It made Elusa's momentum pause for a moment, and then she saw that Su Mo's knife had been raised.
Right shoulder, right arm, right leg...
Su Mo's attacks were extremely tricky, and every time she exerted force, it was either aimed at an angle that Elusa's intact left eye couldn't take into account. Either that, it's her death hole, every move is fast and fast.
Such an attack is extremely uncomfortable to fight.
However, Elusa did not show the slightest abnormality. She knows better than anyone that the enemy won't take your feelings into account in battle. Only such a battle can make her realize her own problems.
Not to mention ... She's used to it!
"Hey, it's fake. Am I dazzled?" the magician uncles who knew the two of them well were amazed.
"How long has it been, is Su Mo's strength so strong?"
"I'm going to go to Laxus and ask him to help me practice. "There is an uncle's unwilling howl.
"This is Su Mo's own talent. Such a sharp fighting style is not something that can be learned by simply feeding the moves. What's more, that little ghost's magic is not weak. "There are wise uncles who see through the truth.
"I thought it was terrifying enough to have an Elusa who could be compared to an ordinary adult magician, but I didn't expect Su Mo to have this kind of strength. World...... The change is terrible. The veteran magician Macao muttered unwillingly.
"Yes, yes......" A cadre watched the play leisurely, commenting. Fairytail has seen a lot of outstanding young people appear in recent years.
Mighty as Laxus, as Gray. Even Lebi and Kana are little ones with unfathomable potential, and now there are Elusa and Sumo. No matter how you think about it, the goblins will shine brightly in the future.
"Whew...... Call...... Huh...... "The sword light collided, and the two figures flashed staggered, but this time they did not stubbornly collide with each other again. Instead, he stopped and gasped for air.
On the surface, it seemed to be a draw, but Su Mo looked at the girl who was resting on the hilt of the sword and showed a smug smile, "This time I won." ”
The girl stared at him with gloomy eyes. I don't know why he said that, although she didn't care if she won or lost, but ...... But I don't like to be pressed for no reason.
Su Mo raised his head and slashed his sword to the ground on the side. The magic accumulated thanks to Elusa's furious attacks was poured out. Draw a long, deep ravine in the ground.
"My magic is a fullcounter, and all magic that attacks me directly will be immune to me, and even used. ”
"But thank you, this magic... No, it's my weakness. In the battle with you, it will be undoubted. ”
"Thank you. Su Mo smiled and bowed to her to thank her.
The girl pursed her lips unaccustomedly, and then spit out two words stiffly:
"Congratulations!"
