Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 7: My Foolish Oni-san

"Who the hell are you?!"

Laxus's words immediately enraged Natsu, who jumped up from the ground, ready to confront Laxus.

Unfortunately, due to his height, he could only look up at Laxus.

Despite his short stature, Natsu's temper is as fiery as his magical nature. Laxus, a guy he had never met before, started yelling at him, which Natsu naturally couldn't tolerate.

"Remember this, I am Laxus, the future guild master of Fairy Tail."

Laxus straightened up, no longer looking at Natsu, and left with those words, bypassing Natsu to leave.

Such weaklings are not worth his time. Once he becomes the guild leader, he will kick all the weaklings out of the guild!

Especially someone like Natsu, who has some mental issues, shouldn't have become a mage; he should have just been an ordinary person.

"..."

Natsu was completely bewildered as he watched Laxus stride away with an arrogant air.

"Is there... something wrong with him?"

Natsu looked at Moen and asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid that Laxus would hear him. It wasn't that he was afraid of Laxus, but he was afraid that Laxus really had something wrong with his head and that his words would hurt him. This guy can be quite considerate sometimes.

"..."

Natsu's words made Moen's lips twitch. He thought to himself, "You guys are all equally bad, the pot calling the kettle black. Nobody should say anyone has a problem with their brain."

Ignoring Natsu, Moen's attention was drawn to the [Saint Seiya System]. Just now, he had triggered another mission.

[Task Title: "My Foolish Old Man"]

Task details:

Originally well-behaved and enthusiastic, Laxus entered his rebellious teenage years. The harsh evaluations and differential treatment from others tormented him, causing him to gradually immerse himself in his inner world, stop communicating with others, and go down an extreme path.

As his younger brother, it's your responsibility to pull him back on track and awaken him! Help him rediscover his original aspirations! Help him understand again his love for the guild and for those around him!

Task progress: Pending.

Mission Reward: Random Gold Cloth.

Looking at the task, Moen's expression was complicated. Trying to bring back Laxus, that foolish old man, was no easy task.

Over the past few years, Moen has begun to show his talent and magical abilities, while Laxus has entered his rebellious phase. He feels increasingly "unfair" and feels that he is being criticized more harshly.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, the two brothers, who were originally very close, began to drift apart. Laxus stopped opening up to Moen and completely shut himself in his own world.

Moen had also gone through his teenage years, so he could understand the pressure Laxus was under. That's why he had been trying to comfort this silly old man.

However, it turns out that some emotions cannot be resolved by the words of others and must be digested and absorbed by the person involved.

'That's a Gold Cloth...'

Looking at those words, Moen's eyes almost turned green with envy. A "Bronze Cloth of Equuleus" was already a significant boost to him; if it were a "Gold Cloth," the effect would be unimaginable!

'Unfortunately, it's definitely not going to be available for now, and this can't be rushed. Fortunately, there are no time limits for missions, so we can take our time.'

Without much hesitation, Moen put the task aside. There's no point in looking at something you can't get your hands on.

"Natsu, you've recovered so quickly? Did you come to see me?"

Moen looked at Natsu and asked him a question while starting today's physical training. As a melee mage, the body is the foundation of combat!

Looking at Moen, Natsu recalled what had happened before and couldn't help but shudder. Moen's punch was indeed memorable, but what really made him tremble was the big punch he received in his half-conscious state!

"Was it... Erza who hit me?"

Natsu asked, his voice trembling.

"what?"

Moen, who was doing fancy push-ups, glanced at Natsu with some confusion, then suddenly realized that Natsu was asking about that big-breasted guy.

Seeing Natsu's expression, Moen couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "Good heavens, can a big hood really do that much damage to a ten-year-old child?"

"It's Erza. What? Are you going to get revenge?"

Moen didn't try to cover anything up for Erza. Erza was the one who did it, and if you asked her, she would admit it herself. That girl doesn't lie.

"I'm going to challenge her!"

Natsu gritted his teeth and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"If you're going to challenge me, then challenge me. Why are you yelling so loudly? You noisy, hot-blooded idiots are just impossible to deal with."

Moen did a push-up with one hand and rubbed his ear with the other in disgust.

Natsu, probably because he just came out of the wild and hasn't been living in human society for long, always speaks very loudly, as if he's afraid others won't hear him. Maybe his dragon father isn't very good at hearing.

"But I must warn you, Natsu, at your current level, you definitely can't beat Erza. Challenging her will only result in another beating. That girl doesn't hit like me; she really doesn't hold back. She might beat you so badly you can't get out of bed."

Seeing Natsu's high spirits and determination to avenge the humiliation of being beaten so badly, Moen kindly reminded him.

Although Erza is a beautiful woman, she is not just a pretty face. The girl's strength should not be underestimated. Even Moen would have to fight her to defeat her. He couldn't just kill Erza as easily as he killed Natsu.

"Huh? This...is it that amazing?"

Natsu paused for a moment, a hint of suspicion on his face.

This "Little Fire Dragon" always thought he was pretty strong, but after being instantly killed by Moen's "Pegasus Meteor Fist," he is now a little unsure about his own strength.

"If we include Laxus, Erza's strength should rank second among our generation. If we don't include Laxus, then she's number one."

Moen thought for a moment and gave his ranking. At least for now, Erza definitely couldn't beat Laxus.

"Laxus..."

Natsu was stunned. Wasn't that the name of that arrogant guy from earlier? That guy was this strong too?!

"So...Mount, where are you ranked?"

Natsu suddenly realized that if Laxus was number one and Erza was number two, wouldn't that mean both of them were stronger than Moon?!

"Me? I'm an outsider, not included in the ranking."

Moen smiled and gave Natsu an answer he hadn't expected.
