The battle is over.

When Laxus chose to lie down, Noah knew that the battle was really over, and he was silent because of it, sighing faintly in his heart.

Since childhood, Noah was picked up by Makarov from woodland in an unknown place, adopted as an adopted grandson, and lived in Makarov's house.

If Makarov was the first person Noah knew when he was born in the world, then, as Makarov's own grandson, Laxus is the second person Noah knew in his life.

Noah remembers how complicated Laxus was when Makarov sent him home and introduced him to Laxus.

Joy?

A little, right?

Abhor?

A little bit too, right?

But Noah only remembered that at that time, Laxus looked at him with a trace of sympathy in his eyes as if he was looking at his own kind.

That's right.

It's the same kind.

Because, from that moment on, Noah had the same identity as Laxus.

That is, the identity of "Makarov's grandson".

Why did Laxus become this psychologically twisted and mentally incapable of growing up like a child?

Just because of the identity of "Makarov's grandson".

As the most famous Saint Ten Magi in the wizarding world, and the head of the guild that has the ability to be called the number one in the Fiore Kingdom, it is conceivable how famous Makarov's reputation is.

This leads to the fact that Laxus has been burdened with the identity of "Makarov's grandson" since he was a child. No matter what you do, people will only say, "I really deserve to be Makarov's grandson." Never say anything like "It's Laxus".

For Laxus, the status of "Makarov's grandson" is too heavy.

After all. No matter how good Laxus is, others will take it for granted because of this status, and if he does something wrong, he is discrediting Makarov and Fairytail.

How can this not put pressure on Laxus?

Because he is Makarov's grandson, he has always been treated by others with colored glasses and cannot get a true evaluation, and Laxus's father also did some things that damage the "Fairy Tail", and was expelled from the guild by Makarov, which was an opportunity. And want to find out the true self and get the fair evaluation of others, Laxus will change his personality greatly.

As Noah said, Laxus doesn't really covet the throne of the president of Fairytail, and he doesn't act so aggressively because of the strongest false name, but to gain the approval of others.

This is the real Laxus.

Noah was able to understand Laxus.

Although not as strict as Laxus, Noah did have been looked at differently by others for a while because of his status as "Makarov's grandson".

Even, ever. Because the magic power is too large to control, Noah, who can't learn magic rashly, is secretly pointed at and teased by many people, just because he is Makarov's grandson but can't even use magic.

Since then, Noah has always been evaluated by others with colored glasses for various things. It wasn't until he left Fairytail that he chose to practice outside for four years and travel in other worlds for two years. It gradually fades out of the sight of others, and this phenomenon begins to disappear.

Noah felt. If you are like Laxus, you have been watched by others since you were a child. Under extraordinary pressure, then, perhaps, it is really possible to become like Laxus.

It was because he clearly knew what kind of gaze he would receive when he became Makarov's grandson, and at the beginning, Laxus looked at Noah with the same kind of gaze.

After that, because the relationship between Makarov and Laxus has always been at odds, and the two quarrels for three days, Noah can't stand the atmosphere, so he will move out of Makarov's house and live in the guild.

However, even if they didn't live together for a long time, living under the same roof still made Noah the person who could understand Laxus best.

It's a pity that understanding is understanding, but Noah can't identify with Laxus.

Because, Laxus's practices and changes are undoubtedly developing in the wrong direction.

With this thought, Noah moved his steps and came to the front of Laxus, looking at Laxus who was lying on the ground, looking at the sky with eyes that had lost focus, and exuding a dejected aura all over his body, and suddenly spoke.

"Because we are the grandsons of the Ten Saint Wizards, we have always been treated with colored glasses, so if you want to get rid of it, don't you think it would be a good way to directly defeat a Saint Ten Wizards?"

Laxus's eyes that had lost focus suddenly condensed and gradually brightened.

"We did what my grandfather could do, that's why people say, 'It's Makarov's grandson,' but if we do something that even grandpa can't do, then no one else can use this as an excuse." Noah made such a self-talk, consciously or unconsciously.

"Just remember, don't go the wrong way, then, no matter when, surpassing our predecessors is something that only those of us who come after us can do."

"Don't you think so?"

Leaving these words, Noah stopped paying attention to Laxus, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and turned his back to him.

At this moment, a voice sounded from a distance.

"Noah (Noah's brother)!"

With the sound of such a call, several figures ran from a distance.

Amazingly, it was Mira, Lisanna, and Elusa.

Seeing Mira and Lisanna, Noah couldn't help but show a hint of joy in his eyes, stepped forward, and directly hugged Lisanna who rushed over into his arms, feeling the familiar softness in his arms, and then looked at Mila who slowly stopped, and couldn't help but look at it.

"We're fine." As if seeing Noah's thoughts, Mira smiled softly.

"Elusa found us."

"I don't think it's possible for the Thor to be too far away from Laxus, so when you were fighting against Laxus, I sneaked around to find them, and found them in the depths of the forest." Elusa nodded at Noah.

"Fortunately, the 'Thor' didn't bother Mira and Lishana much, just as I imagined, after all, they are partners in the same guild, and the 'Thor' just watched Mila and Lisana, so I directly rescued Mira and Lisanna first."

Hearing this, Noah breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Noah also felt that Laxus should not be so mad that he would really do anything excessive to his companions, Mira and Lishana were Noah's fiancées after all, and there was still no way to eliminate the tension in Noah's heart.

Now, I'm finally relieved.

"Elusa is really good." Lisanna, who looked up from Noah's arms, said in amazement.

"Even the whole of the 'Thunder God Crowd' can't help but get Elusa, although I knew that Elusa was very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

Hearing this, Elusa and Mira looked at each other and smiled, but didn't say anything, and even Noah just smiled and didn't say anything.

Noah knew that was not something to be surprised at all.

Although Fried, Piccosrow, and Abba Greene are very strong, they are at the level of Natsu and Gray.

The strongest Fred is probably a little more than a few, but he hasn't reached the level of an S-class magician yet.

If these three people face an ordinary S-class magician at the same time, they should have a chance of winning.

But is Elusa an ordinary S-class magician?

To put it bluntly, Elusa can't be considered an S-class magician anymore.

As far as Noah is concerned, the current Elusa definitely has the strength of the original Gerald before he recovered Zikrein.

At that time, Gerald was evaluated by Noah as being extremely close to the Ten Holy Wizards.

Elusa, naturally, too.

Elusa is not far from the true Ten Saint Wizards.

If someone were to ventilate the councillors on the council side and walk through the back door, then Elusa would definitely be able to mix up with the title of the Ten Saints like Zikrein.

For Elusa, whose strength is not far from the Ten Saint Demon Guides, it will not be difficult to deal with the three S-level magicians who have not reached the third rank.

Thinking of this, Noah suddenly remembered the other companions in the guild, and turned his head to look at Laxus, who was still lying on the ground.

"By the way, what about the other companions in the guild?"

"Huh?" Laxus frowned and uttered such a sentence.

"I didn't arrest those people!" (To be continued......)
