The wind blew quietly from the distant side of the sky, giving the air a touch of coolness.

Magnolia still stood in the middle of the surrounding forests and hills, and from time to time there was a cacophony of the townspeople shouting and laughing with someone, and nothing had changed, it was still as noisy.

It's autumn now, and the temperature in Magnolia has begun to drop a lot, making the town feel cooler.

Of course, if there is not a hint of wind, even in autumn, the hot and humid climate can still make people feel panicked.

"Sand... Sand..."

And in one of the mountain forests outside Magnoria, which was even more sweltering and hot, in a corner, the faint sound of leaves dancing suddenly sounded, and the sound grew louder and louder, as if something was approaching.

"Hoo ————!"

In the next second, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance of the mountain forest, with an extremely high degree, mixed with a subtle sound of breaking the air, and rushed from a distance.

It was a boy in shorts, barefoot, and shirtless, probably about seventeen years old.

At this time, the young man was raising his hands high, holding a boulder that was a few sizes bigger than his whole person, but it trampled on the ground of the mountain forest more quickly than a cheetah, causing a great earthquake and trembling at the same time, running wildly between the mountains and forests, avoiding the oncoming trees and obstacles very flexibly, and constantly running.

"Whew..."

It wasn't until a long time later that the boy finally stopped his steps and threw the boulder that was held high above his head at random.

"Knock ————!"

The boulder slammed to the side, crushing the surrounding branches and grass under him, and smashing a hole in the ground, stirring up a little smoke and dust.

After doing this, the boy raised his head and looked at the sky, exposing a face that had not left much immaturity and began to become stable and mature with a pair of pupils that were extremely deep, as if they could suck people inside.

It's a face that has taken four years to grow.

Time flies.

It's just a blink of an eye, and four years have passed.

Noah, who is seventeen years old, has grown up not only in height and appearance, but also in strength, except for him, no one knows where the bottom limit is.

Since receiving the news that Laxus has become a pass of the S-class magician promotion exam and promoted to an S-class magician, Noah has not only not returned to Fairytai1 for four years, but has also challenged his limits almost every day.

For four years, Noah wasn't just exercising his magic.

Physical ability!

Swordsmanship ability!

Fighting ability!

Magic control zhì force!

Even for the body's flexibility, acuity, reaction ability, sensing ability, and so on, they are constantly exercising as hard as challenging the limit!

The current Noah, compared with four years ago, is not an exaggeration to say that his strength has changed dramatically!

At least, Noah is confident that if he had the opportunity to face himself four years ago, he would be able to defeat himself four years ago without using destructive and terrifying magic, without using supernatural sword skills, or even moving half a step, just by swinging his fists!

This is only a part of Noah's strength now!

As for the magic aspect...

Glancing at the boulder beside him, Noah stretched out his hand, pressed it lightly, then raised his footsteps and walked forward, and the figure gradually disappeared into the forest.

"Buzz ————!"

It wasn't until Noah's figure disappeared into the forest that the boulder, which was a few points larger than Noah's body, suddenly seemed to shine inside, and the entire boulder seemed to be neatly arranged as if it had been drawn with a checkered line.

Subsequently...

"Bang ————!"

In the muffled sound, along the neatly arranged grid lines, the boulder directly exploded, turning into neat squares and falling to the ground, once again stirring up a lot of smoke and dust.

……

For four years, although Noah had been practicing, he had no fixed place.

Sometimes it's mountains.

Sometimes it's a lake.

Sometimes it's a river.

Sometimes it's Lin.

There are even times when it is a deep valley, an abyss.

In this way, Noah wandered in a calm environment or a dangerous place, and continued his practice.

However, even though the place is different, Noah has never left the range of being able to see Magnolia.

Even if he went deep into the dangerous forest to fight to the death against various monsters and hone his combat experience, Noah would find a high place every day to take a look at Magnolia and Fairy Tail (Fairytai1).

And because they didn't go too far from Magnolia, in the past four years, Mira, Lisana, Elusa and others have been able to find Noah's traces from time to time.

Sometimes it's collective.

Sometimes it's a person.

Sometimes it's in groups.

Sometimes there are only two or three people.

In short, every once in a while, Noah can always see his childhood sweethearts, and life is not boring.

After all, even the longest time we haven't seen each other is only half a year.

Of course, the shortest time we didn't see each other was more than two or three months.

From time to time, he got together with his former friends every once in a while, made trouble, and played, each time was only a day, and other than that, there was only exercise, exercise, and exercise, and Noah completed the practice of the past four years.

Putting on a simple white shirt and black trousers, and a white jacket that hemmed over his thighs, Noah turned his head and looked in Magnoria's direction, as if the familiar guild building appeared in his eyes, and after a while, he muttered.

"It's time to go back, right?"

As he said this, Noah clenched his fists as well, and then spread out his hand, and a misty white light rose from it, rolling back and forth.

Only those who are familiar with the superior destruction magic "Smash" will know that this mist-like white light, if one accidentally touches something, the thing that touches it will definitely end up shattering!

Noah allowed such a dangerous thing to roll back and forth in his palm, and expertly dimmed its light for a while, clenching his fists violently.

In fact, since a year ago, Noah's "smashing" has never gotten out of control again!

However, for the sake of conservatism, Noah still exercised "Smash" for a whole year!

Now, Noah is 100% confident in making such a declaration.

"Even Kirdas, when it comes to controlling 'smashing', is not as strong as me!"

After leaving such a declaration, Noah finally couldn't suppress the homesickness in his heart, a long-lost uplifting smile appeared on his face, reached out, grabbed the cloth bag containing the knight's sword that was resting aside, and walked in the direction of Magnoria.

……

Magnoria, Fairy Tail (Fairytai1)...

Looking at the familiar building in front of him, Noah was stunned for a long time.

It's been four years.

I haven't been back for four years.

Even after four years, Fairytai1 still hasn't changed, except that the gate seems to have been exchanged several times.

Come to think of it, it shouldn't be the natural old and bad, but it was ruined by those noisy guys, right?

Taking a deep breath, Noah suppressed his inner feelings, reached out, and pushed the door of the guild open.

It didn't take long for the genius to light up.

Therefore, no one has come to the bar on the first floor of the guild yet.

Noah looked at the familiar scene, walked around the bar, and then stepped up the stairs, up the third floor, to the door of his room, reached out, and pushed it open.

The goal is a picture that completely overlaps with the scene in my memory.

Not even the slightest change has been made.

But there was not a bit of dust.

Just like when Noah first left.

Noah stood in the doorway and watched for a long, long time.

Half a sound later, a voice gently echoed in the humble room.

"I'm back"
