Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 381: Gajeel: I Am Merely a Weapon Anyone Can Use

”Uh, contestant August, what do you mean by this?!”

Makarov sat at the bar counter. He had planned to rest for a bit, then prepare the lottery work for the guildʼs candidates, quickly hold this yearʼs Fairy Tail Guild S-Class Mage Trial, and quickly end this trial that made his heart tremble, so as to avoid any more messy things happening. Although this yearʼs Fairy Tail Guild trial did not have Irene and Selene interfering, one should not fear the unlikely, but fear the unexpected…

However, just as he sat at the bar counter and was about to drink some water, the thing that made Makarovʼs heart tremble finally still appeared! August, one of this yearʼs Fairy Tail S-Class Mage Trial candidates, still stood on the arena. He arrogantly looked at the Mages below the arena and issued a declaration of challenge.

”Uh, August, did you say the wrong thing?!”

This made Makarov freeze.

Because the impression August had always given Makarov was that of someone steady, grand, and with many common topics with him. So the instant August exploded, Makarov thought August had misspoken…

”Guild Master Makarov, since what you mean is that only the winner of the ranking battle can become an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail Guild. Then in other words, as long as I defeat all the other candidates participating in the trial, I will be Fairy Tail Guildʼs S-Class Mage. That is correct, right?”

August looked at Makarov and asked.

”Although that is indeed correct, are you certain you really want to do this? Do you really want to challenge all the other candidates? Actually, as long as you follow the rules and keep winning all the way, you can also become an S-Class Mage of the guild…”

After hearing Augustʼs words, Makarov froze. He raised his head and looked at August as he asked in confusion.

Honestly speaking, although August had always given Makarov the feeling of being unfathomable, Makarov did not know exactly how strong August was.

At the same time, this year, Fairy Tail Guild had many powerful characters.

Among them, there was even an existence like Sonya Animus, who always gave Makarov an inexplicable sense of horror and made Makarov, this veteran Wizard Saint, feel that he absolutely could not defeat her! Therefore, Makarov did not think highly of Augustʼs actions. At the same time, as Fairy Tail Guildʼs Guild Master, he specially reminded August…

”Hehe, since that is the case, then come!”

”Everyone, I am merely an ordinary and unremarkable rotten old man. Just attack me with your magic as much as you…”

August revealed a confident smile, as if August had never doubted whether he could win. In magical battles, he, August, had never feared anyone, because he was the Magic King.

”Iʼm fired up!!”

After hearing Augustʼs words, Natsuʼs eyes seemed to shine with flames.

”Old man, youʼd better be careful…”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other, and incomparably cold freezing air instantly erupted from their bodies.

”Although my blade is not meant to be used against the elderly, for the sake of victory in this yearʼs S-Class Mage Trial, forgive me!”

Kaguraʼs eyes were like sharp swords. Her gaze was blazing like cold blade light, and the katana in her hand emitted intense killing intent.

Her goal this year was very clear. Naturally, it was victory in Fairy Tailʼs S-Class Mage Trial…

She would no longer be Fairy Tail Guildʼs number one S-Class Mage seed, but a true S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail Guild…

”All of you come at me together!”

In response, August remained incomparably calm. His expression was emotionless. Honestly speaking, he actually somewhat could not bear it, because with his strength, dealing with Kagura and the others was no different from dimensional suppression.

”Fire Dragonʼs Iron Fist!!”

Just as August looked expressionlessly at the group of boys and girls before him, Natsu moved!

Natsu, who was Augustʼs uncle, had magic power surging wildly within his body.

Without a doubt, judging from the magic aura Natsu currently released, he had already completely reached the threshold of an S-Class Mage. That was a level that, even by Fairy Tail Guildʼs standards, could still barely be rated as S-Class Mage level!

”Natsu…”

Gildarts sat beside the bar counter, holding a glass of whiskey. He looked at Natsu, whose magic power was surging, and revealed a smile. The young dragon had finally begun to grow. One day, that young Fire Dragon would become a terrifying Flame Dragon!!

”Natsu, do your best! Natsu, take him down!”
