"Natsu... I am happy... You've gotten to this point... But you're missing the most important thing to get to the best magicians," Kildas said, and the cloak he was wearing suddenly began to go into flamelessness.

An invisible coercion directly enveloped Natsu and Lucy.

"It's... What the! Lucy's pupils shrank sharply, and her knees bent involuntarily, as if the air had suddenly increased countless times, pressing her directly to her knees.

All of a sudden, the wind picked up...

Lucy's blonde hair swayed slightly, and suddenly a bitter wind slapped directly at Lucy's cheek.

The pillar of magic that rose into the sky and the atmosphere began to resonate with each other, as if the atmosphere was shaking.

Natsu gritted her teeth and held on to keep herself from falling, looking at the man who was shrouded in magic, and stubbornly resisted.

"Even if that's the case, you're going to attack me—" A smile slowly curled into a smile on Kildas's lips.

Natsu took a step forward with all the strength of his body.

But at this step, the pressure around him seemed to go up a step directly, and he almost fell down without standing firmly.

But fortunately, at the last moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and held him.

"Lucy?" Natsu looked at the woman beside her with some surprise.

"We... It's a partner! Lucy grinned at him and tried to take a step forward, but found that she couldn't take it.

Natsu slowly pulled her hand back from Lucy's body, stood up again, and patted Lucy on the shoulder.

Lucy looked at him suspiciously, only to notice that Natsu had taken a step forward calmly.

At this step, he stepped on the ground, and flames began to rise around Natsu's body, even if Kildas's magic power soared to the sky, Natsu's flame was like a flame that burned desperately, and with all his strength, he wanted to bloom with brilliant flames.

"Just because a companion helped you, can you bloom with such power... I should have said it was you... Natsu—" Kildas shook his head helplessly.

Natsu took another step forward, just as he had just done before.

"But... What I want to tell you in this assessment... It's not something you already have! Kildas's eyes froze suddenly, like the eyes of a demon king.

Natsu's last step, and the fist that was about to be swung out in a posed position, couldn't be swung out anyway.

"How—" Natsu's eyes widened as he looked into Kildas's eyes, the dragon's instinct preventing him from throwing the punch.

Die... Will die... If you throw this punch, you will die!

Kildas's expression retracted, and the raging wind gradually subsided.

Natsu fell to her knees, her eyes wide and she couldn't say a word.

Lucy looked at Natsu's back behind her, equally unable to say a word for a long time.

Defeated... It was so utterly defeated...

"Why... Why can't you throw that punch! Natsu snarled reluctantly.

This is the most unacceptable thing for him, and this kind of failure is even more unacceptable than killing him.

"You're wrong, Natsu." But who knows, Kildas slowly stood in front of Natsu, looked at him condescendingly, and said seriously.

"It's not terrible to fail, it's not to value your life." Kildas said seriously, "If you just rush forward, the final result will only be death, and while you have the determination to swing your fist, you must also have the determination to take it back!" ”

But Natsu kept his head down and didn't say a word.

"Defeat is defeat, there is no excuse, this time it doesn't work, we have a next time! But! There is only one time in life! Life is gone! Then there is nothing! Kildas admonished earnestly.

"But... This opportunity was won by Natsu! If it falls here! We will not be reconciled no matter what! Lucy couldn't help but shout at Kildas.

"Lucy—" Natsu couldn't help but look back at the stubborn girl.

Don't you want to... That's definitely unwilling...

This year's efforts have been wasted because of the current situation, which is unacceptable to anyone.

But... Natsu also deeply understood what Kildas was trying to tell him now.

The thought of the wound that Kildas had shown him earlier made Natsu's heart shake.

Kildas is using his own experience to tell Natsu that brute force can no longer be used.

The mind, to think, is the most important thing.

When it's time to retreat, you have to retreat, and you must not rely on blood.

Courage must be there, and wisdom must be present.

Blindly reckless people will only put themselves in a desperate situation.

Not all desperate situations will be like before, Lu Xiu Heavenly God descended to earth and exploded by himself.

But after thinking about it so much, Natsu felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart when he thought that a year's hard work had been wasted, and that Gray might even become an S-class magician earlier than himself.

"Looks like you understand what I'm going to tell you today." Kirdas clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Natsu and nodded slowly, "Well, in that case, my purpose has been achieved, Natsu, you, passed." ”

As the words fell, Natsu suddenly raised her head as if she were hallucinating.

"Huh?" Two voices in unison came out of both mouths.

Lucy and Natsu looked at Kildas in surprise.

"It's not... Don't you put water? Lucy's mind twitched and she couldn't help asking.

"If you don't want to pass, then don't let the water go." Kildas shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said seriously.

"Ahh Forget it. Lucy quickly shook her head, and immediately rushed to Natsu's side, pulled the scarf around Natsu's neck, and rushed towards the hole behind Kildas like crazy, afraid that Kildas would regret it.

"Heh... Natsu has found a good partner..."

And who did the others meet in this initial test?

"The water is broken!" With a cold snort, Jubia and Lisana attacked Elusa in front of her.

Although Elusa's record was not ideal before, but... His name as an S-class magician is well deserved.

The clothes on her body turned into a dazzling white light, and an emerald green armor covered her body.

Although it's armor... But on the positive side, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a bikini...

"The Sea Emperor Armor... Has the resistance of the water elemental been raised to the top?" Jubia couldn't help but bite.

Elusa held the sharp blade in her hand with both hands, and looked at the water flowing from Jubia's slashing, the sharp blade in her hand crossed a graceful arc, and a violent slashing wind appeared in an instant, directly cutting the jet of water towards Jubia.

"Is this Elusa?" Jubia's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body turned directly into a stream of water, and the sharp slashing wind only cut through the curtain of the stream, and in the next second, Jubia returned to his original state again.

"Jubia is sitting on the water... This physical attack is ineffective against Jubia! ”

"Oh? Really? However, the response to Jubia was an unhurried rhetorical question.

In the next second, Jubia's shirt suddenly tore a huge gap, and Jubia flew backwards heavily.

"Jubia!" Lisana couldn't help but scream.
