"Resurrection!"

In the harbor, Natsu raised his hands and shouted as if he was celebrating something, drawing all the eyes around him.

"Noah—!" Then, as if remembering something, Natsu turned around sharply and rushed towards Noah, who had just disembarked.

"Let's fight it out with me!"

Before the words could fall, a fist suddenly appeared above the head of Natsu who rushed out, like a heavy hammer, and fell on Natsu's head.

"Bang---!"

With a muffled sound, Natsu's eyes bulged, his head smoked, and his whole body smashed directly into the ground, smashing the ground apart inch by inch.

Noah, who withdrew his fist, walked past Natsu, who was lying on the cracked ground, and walked forward with a blank face.

"I knew you were going to do it."

"Ahh

"Natsu, didn't you see the showdown between Noah and Elusa?"

"Natsu, you haven't been able to beat Elusa yet." Lucy said angrily.

"I don't know what to say about you to dare to fight someone who can draw with Elusa without using magic."

"Hmph." Gray coldly threw out such a mockery.

"What an idiot."

As soon as the words fell, Natsu, who didn't know when he got up from the ground, put his head on Gray's head with a hideous face.

"Who do you think is stupid? Sagging eyes! ”

Gray pushed back with his head without showing any weakness. The same hideous face.

"That's you! Hanging eyes! ”

At this time, Elusa, who had disembarked from the ship, cast her gaze indifferently.

"What are you doing there?"

"Nothing!" Natsu and Gray shuddered in unison. The hideousness on his face disappeared completely, and he made a straight posture. Looking at it like that, I'm scared of Elusa to death.

"Nothing is the best." Elusa nodded in satisfaction.

"Noah just came back today, don't make any more trouble for me."

"Love!" Natsu and Gray responded in unison, but the way that response sounded like Harpy's mantra, making Lucy on the side complain.

Noah, who watched this happen, couldn't help but cry and laugh.

"Do you still think that after two years, you have all grown, but only strength has grown?"

"You've changed a lot from two years ago." Elusa glanced at Noah, tilted her head, and said this as if she was a little confused.

"It feels like you're compared to before. The atmosphere seems to have changed. ”

"Does Elusa feel that way? I thought I was the only one who felt this way! Gray grabbed his hair and looked directly at Noah, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"It feels like it's better than before... How can I say that it looks even more dangerous? ”

Hearing Elusa and Gray's words, Noah just smiled and didn't answer.

Noah knew why Elusa and Gray felt the way they did.

Because, Noah has indeed changed, and the change is not small.

In the dark world of bullets, I played with politicians with superb means, and I also saw enough of the dark side of human nature. Coupled with the experience of the Absolute Double Blade and the Magic Night, Noah has indeed changed compared to two years ago.

If you say, Noah two years ago can only be regarded as an extremely sharp sword that has just been sharpened. Now, then, Noah's sword has been glued with enough blood. It's no longer just a weapon.

This is called experience.

This experience made Noah, who was originally a relatively gentle person, stronger, and his heart was much tougher than at the beginning. Coupled with the fact that Noah now has a real and hidden murderous aura compared to two years ago, it is no wonder that Gray would say such things as more dangerous.

"That's right. Noah. Harpy, who flew to Noah's side, glanced behind Noah and said suspiciously.

"Where's your sword?"

When Harpy said this, Elusa, Natsu, and Gray remembered it.

"Of course the sword is put away." Noah replied perfunctorily.

"I learned a little trick similar to dress-up magic, and I can store weapons in invisible spaces, and it's not like it's gone, don't worry."

The group was relieved.

"Alright, then let's rest in this town for the time being!" Elusa stepped forward and began to call the shots as a matter of course.

"Tomorrow, we'll go back to Magnoria!"

"Understood!" Everyone responded.

At this time, Natsu jumped in front of Noah, staring at Noah with an excited face and a bloody smile on his face.

Raising a hand, Natsu's fist burst into flames, illuminating Natsu's exhilarating face.

"Noah, I've gotten a lot stronger in the past two years!"

"Really?" Noah met Natsu's excited eyes, lifted them, and smiled.

"Then I'll also tell you, I haven't been slacking off in the past two years, and I've become a lot stronger than two years ago."

"We agreed at that time, right?" The flames in Natsu's hands became more and more violent, and her mood became more and more surging.

"When we meet again, we must fight it out again!"

"Isn't it?" Hearing Natsu's words, Lucy spoke speechlessly.

"You're still going to fight?"

"Natsu, let's stop fighting." Harpy hurriedly advised.

"Noah is very strong."

"Are you really stupid?" Even Gray couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"What do you want to do against an opponent that even Elusa can't defeat?"

"Isn't that good?" Elusa had a different opinion, looking at this side with a smile.

"Natsu has also become a lot stronger than two years ago, and has always wanted to defeat Noah, Noah, you just give Natsu a chance!"

"Elusa?" Lucy looked at Elusa in surprise.

"Isn't it? Really want to fight? ”

Compared with the surprised Lucy, Gray seemed to understand, and gave up the persuasion, and even Harpy hung his head and stopped persuading.

"Hey, Harpy." Lucy couldn't help but say.

"Is it true that Natsu is no longer being persuaded anymore? That's an opponent that even Elusa can't defeat! ”

"There's no way around it." Harpy sighed.

"Natsu has always wanted to defeat Noah since the beginning, except for finding Igonir, Natsu's biggest dream is to defeat Noah, so even the president can't persuade Natsu to do this."

"Won't it?" Lucy finally became worried.

"We're all partners, don't do that."

Ignoring the chatter of his companions, Noah looked at Natsu, who was staring at him with a persistent face, and smiled dumbly after a while.

"Natsu, don't be in such a hurry, don't you think it's a bit of a waste to duel now?"

"Waste?" Natsu froze.

"You see, you all say that even Elusa can't do anything about me, but in fact, Elusa is an S-class magician, and I'm just an ordinary guild member." Noah smiled slightly.

"So, Natsu, why don't we press our duel until we're all S-class magicians?"

Natsu's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea." Elusa nodded in agreement.

"Whether it's Noah or Natsu, there is still room for growth, and when they become S-level magicians, they will definitely be stronger than now, and if they face off again at that time, they will definitely be much more exciting than they are now."

"That's what I thought too." Noah looked at Natsu with a smirk.

"Natsu, what do you think?"

"Let's do it!" Natsu, who had a tendon in his head, agreed without hesitation and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Good! I'm already on fire! ”

"S-class magician?" Gray also seemed to be infected, and stretched out his fist at Noah.

"But don't forget, there's me!"

Noah smiled without saying a word, just reached out and touched Gray's fist, and it was all silent.

Looking at the three boys like this, even Elusa and Lucy were a little touched.

"What should I do?" Lucy bit her finger pitifully.

"I really want to join them."

"No, you can't." Harpy said without hesitation.

"Lucy's words will definitely not be able to become an S-class magician."

"Say what?" Lucy muttered discontentedly.

"I'm also very strong, okay?"

Elusa's gaze swept over Noah, Natsu, and Gray, and she was surprisingly gentle inside.

"The relationship between boys is really great..." (to be continued......)
