Chapter 18: Fighting, Growing Separately
"Elusa, have you really decided?" Esther chose to forget about the few viewers around him, "Follow me to practice, but it's very hard!" ”
"Esther, you are the strongest among your peers, and if I want to become stronger, I can only learn from you! No matter how bitter it is, how bitter can it be? Elusa had a determined look on her face.
Esther nodded, "Very well, in that case, it's pretty boring for the two of us!" ”
His sudden words made Elusa smile, and the people around him only felt a cold breath that jumped from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and goosebumps fell to the ground.
……
At ten o'clock in the evening, Elusa and the others, under the leadership of Aster, dragged their tired bodies and walked in the direction of the dormitory.
"Why, I just wanted to have a good time, but it turned out to be training together?" Natsu still hasn't figured out what the hell is going on.
Gray rolled his eyes, he was too tired to fight with Natsu, and instead of fighting hard, he might as well save some effort and walk back.
Kana and Lisana were the least physically fit of the bunch, and the two of them, one by Mira and the other by Elusa, walked with trembling legs.
As for Mira and Elusa, although tired, they are generally fine.
On the contrary, Elfman, who was the tallest and strongest, was so tired that he almost cried.
To be honest, Elfman's personality is really in contrast to his physique!
As for Esther himself, he was just sweating and was far from reaching the limit of his physical strength.
Today is the first day to practice with his friends, and he has reduced his usual physical training by one-third, otherwise, among these people, it is estimated that only Esther, Elusa and Mira can still get up.
Here we have to mention the magic power, the stronger the magic power, the stronger the recovery power of oneself.
Esther's daily extreme physical training was restored to normal the next day under the self-healing effect of magic power.
"Okay, let's go back to cultivation quickly, tomorrow morning, I will wake everyone up one by one!" Esther replied.
The eyes of the others lit up, and Esther woke up, but it was late.
Well, much later than they usually get up.
As for training, none of them chose to refuse, as the magicians of this world, these children understood better than anyone that strength was important.
Even Elfman, who has a cowardly personality, did not choose to refuse.
However, it was not until the next morning that they realized how wrong their thinking was.
Esther had gotten up early, half an hour earlier than they had been.
In the midst of another wail, the children of Fairy Tail began a new day of practice.
……
In the town of Magnoria, by the river in the mountains and forests, there was a soft cheer from time to time.
Pulling into the gaze, this is a group of teenagers and girls, fighting each other.
With a gentle smile on Esther's face, opposite him was Elusa, who had long fiery red hair, was dressed in armor, and held a knight's sword.
The other was Mira, who was dressed in a revealing dress and had a ponytail.
At this time, the two of them looked completely opposite to Esther, serious and dignified.
And not far away, Gray with Larulas, Naz and Cutty Dogs.
As for Elfman, this guy is being chased and beaten by Lisanna and Kana.
I have to say that my strength is stronger than two girls, but because of my personality, I have been bullied by two people.
Natsu's strength is slightly stronger, but it is more difficult to defeat the Katy Dog, the flame against the flame, with the fire resistance of the Katy Dog, it can pull the strength of the two back to the same level.
Of course, the premise is that Natsu doesn't turn on his "dragon slaying magic" to full force.
On the contrary, it was Gray's side, very aggrieved.
His ice is also very powerful magic, and if he is a other magician, he is not inferior to anyone in his class.
But his opponent is Larulas, super telekinesis, very foul ability, after casting, three hundred and sixty degrees, no dead angle defense, as long as he can't break Larulas's telekinesis barrier, he can't hurt her.
Instead, it was Larulas' telekinetic attack that left Gray embarrassed.
Super telekinesis is formless and substantial, and it is simply imperceptible with the naked eye.
In the beginning, because of this, Gray suffered a lot.
Now, after being beaten for so long, I can more or less feel the fluctuations of Larulas's telekinetic attack.
"It's already started over there, let's start too!" Esther smiled and spoke, and with a bang, he drew a sword.
Esther's sword is different from Elusa's knight's sword, it is a finger's width narrower, and the sword body is jade-colored, which is very beautiful.
But it was when the sword was unsheathed that both Mira and Elusa became nervous.
If two months ago, she had been told that Elusa's sword was worse than hers, she would have been a hundred unbelievers.
But after two months of fighting, she realized that this young man, who was not much older than herself, and his sword was so fierce that she once thought that she was not suitable for sword training.
Airplanes~
The sword trembled, and a soft roar occurred, and the sword of Aina appeared in front of Elusa's eyes.
Clang~
Without the slightest hesitation, the knight's sword in his hand slashed forward, colliding with Aster's sword.
The moment the swords collided, Esther's sword crossed an arc, and the tip of the sword slashed a burst of sparks on the blade of the knight's sword, and the hairs on the back exploded, and a chill surged into his heart, and the demonic arm was directly blocked at the throat.
Thorn~
There was a piercing grinding sound, and the tip of the sword left a white mark on Mira's Demon Hand scales.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, the tip of the sword would have slashed not through her arm but through her throat.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two quickly distanced themselves from Esther.
They have been fighting Esther for so long, how can they not understand that Esther's real strength is melee combat.
"Drink~" Mira screamed, and demon scales spread out all over her body, and just between breaths, a demon walking upright appeared in front of her.
After demonization, a pitch-black magic enveloped her.
Bang~
With a soft sound, Mira rushed over, clenching her fist with a demonic hand, and slammed it hard.
Perhaps because of complete control, Mira's demonization, her hands, are about the same size as normal people's hands.
But the power contained in this punch is not comparable to even ten adults combined.
Esther's expression remained unchanged, and his free hand was also clenched into fists and attacked.
Bang~
The two fists collided, and the strength of one punch collapsed all around.
Qiang~
Behind Esther, a knight's sword mixed with magic had already pointed at his heart.
Clang~
Esther's sword strangely appeared ten centimeters away from the nest of the vest, blocking Elusa's stabbing sword.
Kicking up, mixed with magic kicks, he kicked directly into Mira's abdomen, kicking her out hard.
At the same time, the sword in his hand, like a snake, wrapped around Elusa's sword, pointed at her throat.
Zheng~
The sword was still a centimeter away from Elusa's throat, and feeling the edge on the sword, Elusa left a cold sweat on her forehead, but a bright smile appeared on her face, "I won!" ”
A short sword stopped at the place of his heart earlier than Esther's.
Esther put away his sword, "Yes, you have already comprehended this killing sword!" ”
Killing sword, as the name suggests, is a swordsmanship born to kill, and it is a very ferocious sword in the previous life.
It is rumored that this swordsmanship was created by the killing god Bai Qi, only killing, no guarding, and no moves, if you understand, you will understand, and if you don't understand, you will never understand.
Esther sighed a little, the last move is the sword that kills the sword and ends up together, as long as I kill you, even if I die, I will win.
That's why Elusa said she won.
The smile on Elusa's face grew even brighter when she heard Esther's words.
Only Mira ran over angrily, "Esther, you actually use so much strength, do you know that I am a girl!" ”
Esther glanced at Mira seriously and made a sudden look, "So you still know that you are a girl!" ”
Mira has almost nothing to do with girls other than her gender and what she wears.
"You~" Mira gritted her teeth angrily.
Elusa smiled slightly, Mira only had to argue with Esther, who didn't need too many words, and could always stomp his feet angrily.
"I know your demonic scales defense, if you don't use a little force, you won't feel pain, and you won't be able to remember the lesson.
This time you're facing me, just kicking, if it's an enemy, what do you think you can do? Esther's voice was stern, reprimanding.
"You have to take care of it!" Mira puffed away and said that she was unforgiving, but her familiar partners understood that Mila had listened.
"Sister~" Elfman finally found almost, ran behind Mira, the look of wanting to cry without tears made Mira's forehead bruise, but thinking of Elfman's character, she could only sigh helplessly.
"Lisanna, Kana, you two don't know how to give up some Elfman!" Mira said, with helplessness in her tone.
"Sister Mira, I see! By all means next time! Lisanna stuck out her tongue cutely.
Kana smiled a little awkwardly.
"Laru~" Larulas fell on Esther's shoulder refreshedly, just waisted, looking at the tired and panting Gray, the look seemed to say again, "That's it?" ”
Even if he didn't understand Larulas's words, Gray could understand Larulas's mockery.
"The roar of the fire dragon~" A roar, as if accompanied by a dragon's roar, a flame like a dragon's breath directly devoured the catty dog.
"Wang~" Katy Dog also opened his mouth, and the flames condensed into a pillar of fire, colliding with the dragon's breath.
But it was clear that the Cutty Dog's flames were much weaker than Natsu's, and they only held out for a moment before they were swallowed by the dragon's breath.
The catty dog was also quick to react and ran away as fast as he could, and even then, some of the hairs on his tail were burned.
"Wang~" Katy Dog howled angrily, but was hugged by Esther, "Okay Katy Dog, you lost this game, if you avoid it early, you won't be burned, remember this time, this is a lesson!" ”
Hearing Esther's gentle voice, the catty dog barked a little low.
But soon he was in high spirits.
The battle between Natsu and Katy Dog was about a five-to-five victory.
Natsu pinched his waist and mocked Gray mercilessly, "Pervert, what's the matter, I won today, you can't even beat a girl, it's a shame!" ”
Natsu, who didn't know that this sentence had caused public anger, was still smug.
It wasn't until a few malicious glances fell on him that he realized that something was wrong.
Gray didn't argue with him this time, but looked at Natsu with pity.
Girl, heh, I lost to Larulas, but you don't want to think about it, the girls in our guild, especially our year, which one is not a little monster, if it weren't for the fact that there was an Esther pressing on it, our boys would have no face for a long time.
Offend these girls, you Natsu can bear it.
"Laru~" Laruas said angrily.
"Good!" Esther nodded with a smile and looked at Natsu with a kind gaze.
Suddenly, the latter only felt the cold hair explode, and the cool air jumped from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Larulas said that fighting Gray is no longer able to temper herself, and she needs to ask to fight you later, and I agree!"
In the gentlest of words, Esther said something that made Natsu panic.
This time, among several of their peers, they have already been ranked privately.
The first is naturally Esther, and the second is Elusa and Mira, and the two are about the same strength.
The third is not him and Gray, but the Larulas, who is only 0.4 meters tall.
The fourth is him and Gray, oh, and the Carty Dog.
The fifth is Lishana and Kana, because the two have never fought, and they don't know who is stronger.
The sixth is naturally Elfman, who is not weak in strength, but his personality is not suitable for fighting, which makes Esther and others sigh more than once that Elfman has grown so big for nothing.
As for Elfman's character, Esther also wanted to help, but then tried it to no avail, so he chose to give up.
Elfman's personality doesn't change overnight, and it's better to wait and see what happens than to be thankless.
When Natsu hears that his opponent has changed from a cutty dog to a Larulas, the whole person is completely loveless.
Gray sneered on the side, he fought with Larulas at the beginning, but he was ridiculed by Natsu a lot, this time it can be said that he was unhappy, and it was time for him to mock Natsu.
"Alright, let's stop making trouble!" This is when Kana suddenly spoke, "It's time for us to go back, today is the day of the guild's big meeting!" ”
Kana's words brought everyone back to their senses.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry back!" Natsu swept away the decadence and ran back, screaming excitedly.
"Let's go, today is also a day to celebrate for everyone." Esther's face was still gentle, with a little more relief and expectation.
The rest of the people also had excitement and anticipation on their faces, but compared to Natsu, they seemed a lot calmer.
The group quickened their pace and walked in the direction of the guild, at this time, the east was only the rising sun, and the crimson light fell on them, with vigor, vigor, and high spirits.
