"Splat!"
Cana collapsed to the ground without offering any resistance, while Laxus, who caused this, remained expressionless.
Joey froze for a moment, his muscles tensing up, and then he immediately charged towards Laxus, determined to lose on the way to his charge!
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, Joey was sent flying back, dizzy from Laxus's punch. He prided himself on being a "super muscle mage," but when facing Laxus, he didn't have the slightest advantage in terms of physical strength. Coupled with the difference in magic power, he was completely crushed in every way.
After crashing into two trees, Joey grimaced as he got up from the ground, rubbing his back and barely able to stand.
"I give up, I give up, Laxus! Why are you being so rough with me? Are you taking advantage of my strong physique?"
Joey raised his hands, decisively admitting defeat and giving up; he couldn't fight back at all!
Gaining Laxus's approval is just wishful thinking!
Although he was only one year younger than Laxus, the difference in their strength was so great that they were practically invisible to each other.
"It's far from good enough."
Laxus shook his head. After testing Erza and Mirajane first, he proceeded to test the others. As expected, they were disappointing.
Even Mirajane is far stronger than the others, and Laxus does not deny Mirajane's strength and talent.
Although Mirajane is somewhat inferior to Erza, that's because Erza is more gifted, while compared to others, Mirajane becomes the more gifted one.
Speaking of these two, they were watching the battle from the sidelines. Before Mirajane was about to take Erza away, she had already woken up. This was one of the manifestations of her extraordinary talent. Despite being so severely exhausted, she woke up so quickly.
Mirajane, however, was skeptical. She had fainted in Moen's arms but woke up as soon as she was in Moen's arms. Was it really a talent?
However, Mirajane had misunderstood Erza. When Erza woke up and saw herself lying in Mirajane's arms, she almost jumped up and took off.
It was only because her body wouldn't allow it; otherwise, she would have definitely broken free immediately. Erza clearly remembered collapsing into Moen's arms, but when she woke up, she saw Mirajane.
Erza stole a glance at Moen beside her, and her face flushed red. She was practically steaming. She knew she had been lying in Moen's arms for quite a while, and she was wearing that revealing "Heart's Garment."
"It seems that only Moen will pass the test this time."
On the other side of Moen, Mirajane sighed. She had been watching the assessment very carefully and had gained an understanding of Laxus's standards. She could say with certainty that it was a waste for everyone else to come; none of them would pass.
"Looking at it that way, you two should actually be put in the later rounds for the assessment."
Moen smiled and said that he had also noticed some problems.
If Erza and Mirajane were ranked lower in the evaluation, they might actually be able to get by by being "contrasted" by their companions in front of them. It's not that the companions in front of them are all weak, but at least they are still far from meeting Laxus's requirements.
Being weak at first and then becoming strong will definitely impress Laxus. This is a very normal thing and will add some points.
If the strong are strong first and then the weak are weak, it will only make Laxus more and more disappointed, and it will also make the other companions who take the test after them suffer, since Laxus will definitely become more and more irritable.
"Even if I beat the game, I won't accept it."
Erza, who had been blushing and blushing, immediately said that she didn't need that kind of approval; she needed genuine approval like this.
"You've already gained recognition. Although you didn't complete all the assessments, you can be considered half an S-rank mage, right?"
Mirajane looked at Erza and said with a hint of envy, while she herself was not even sure if she could gain recognition next year.
"It's okay. If it doesn't work this year, we can try again next year, and if it doesn't work next year, we can try the year after."
Moen smiled. Although that's what he said, if Erza still couldn't pass the S-class mage exam by this time next year, he would question the exam's authority.
However, Moen then thought that by this time next year, he should already be an examiner, and it would be acceptable for him to question himself.
"I'm sure I'll pass the assessment next year!"
Erza looked serious. She was in such a bad state that she couldn't continue. It was already difficult enough for her to stay here and watch the battle. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have given up.
"I will try my best!"
Mirajane gritted her teeth and spoke, determined to learn from her shame and strive for improvement!
Erza and Mirajane have begun preparing for the S-Class Mage Exam in X780, while the S-Class Mage Exam in X779 is nearing its end.
The commotion of the battle drew everyone's attention, and Gray, Elfman, and the veterans arrived one after another.
Laxus was very efficient. He only needed to glance at the candidates to determine their approximate strength, and then, without giving them a chance to demonstrate their abilities, he decisively defeated them.
Gray and Elfman were immediately defeated upon entering the area, offering virtually no experience whatsoever. Meanwhile, those A-rank mages who thought Laxus should have lower requirements than Gildarts also witnessed firsthand what it meant to be a "young man who lacks martial ethics."
Laxus was far less polite than Gildarts, not even bothering to exchange pleasantries with them, eliminating them one by one, and his expression grew increasingly impatient.
"Moen, you're the only one left."
Erza, who was looking after Cana, looked at Moen. Everyone else had been eliminated, leaving only Moen as the sole survivor.
"Then I'll go on stage."
Moen replied with a smile, while at the same time giving Mirajane a look, signaling her to keep an eye on Kana.
The purpose of doing this was to prevent Erza from slapping the unconscious Cana directly. Although Erza should have learned her lesson and knew that "slapping" was a method that could only be tried in a very special situation, Moen was still a little worried.
'learn!'
Mirajane blinked at Moen, understanding what he meant.
There was some tacit understanding between Moen and Mira. After all, Moen often went to Mira's house for meals and was almost becoming the fourth member of Mira's family. He was an NPC who would refresh every day at mealtimes.
"come on!"
As Moen got up to leave, Mira and Erza spoke in unison, causing Moen to pause in his tracks.
After they finished speaking, neither of them looked at Moen again. Instead, they glanced at each other and then rolled their eyes at the same time.
"."
Moen didn't say anything; his steps forward were incredibly firm.
