Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Yes, no matter how crazy the Fairy Tail members were, they would never think that with their current level of strength, they could defeat the group that averaged over a hundred years old. Apart from Evan, who was a cheat-like latecomer, and August, who had activated his parentsʼ cheats and belonged to Makarovʼs era, everyone else had lived for over four hundred years on average. They had all been born four hundred years ago, in the era when dragons still roamed the continent of Ishgar, and had survived the trials of the Primordial Dragon King Festival. They were the group standing at the pinnacle of the Earth-land world…

Facing the four Dragon Kings Evan, Irene, Selene, and Ignea, as well as the two human Mages August and Zeref who stood at the pinnacle of the Earth-land world!

No one could help but feel despair in their hearts. No one could avoid wondering whether they really needed to continue participating in the exam, and whether they truly had any hope of winning.

But among this group of Fairy Tail S-Class Mage candidates who had already become desperate, their faces turning livid under the magic power released by Evan and the others, there was one person whose face was filled with a smile, eager to try, his entire body seemingly boiling with hot blood, almost as if he were about to burn.

That person was none other than… the beloved little brother of Big Brother Zeref, Natsu Dragneel!

”Hehe…”

At this moment, a smile hung on the corners of Natsuʼs mouth.

The stronger the opponents, the more powerful the examiners, and the higher the difficulty of the exam, the more excited Natsu became!

”What? Are you all afraid?”

”Since youʼre all so cowardly that you donʼt intend to participate in this yearʼs S-Class Mage exam, why donʼt you just give me the S-Class Mage exam championship spot! I absolutely wonʼt give up this year. Iʼll definitely knock away every guy standing in front of me, then successfully advance and become an S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild!”

Natsu looked at the group of companions around him and laughed loudly, his hands on his hips. He was really getting carried away.

”Are we being looked down upon by that bastard Natsu?!”

”Bastard! Heʼs nothing more than a mere Natsu!”

Natsuʼs words were indeed enough to arouse public anger.

As Natsuʼs voice fell, the already unpleasant expressions of all the S-Class Mage candidates in the Fairy Tail Guild changed one after another. Veins even bulged on their foreheads as they continuously muttered, expressing their disdain toward Natsu.

”Iʼm only telling the truth…”

”Since youʼre all afraid! Why donʼt you forfeit here and now! That way you wonʼt be so scared that your legs wonʼt even be able to straighten when you go to Tenrou Island to participate in the S-Class Mage exam, embarrassing the seniors of the Fairy Tail Guild who participated in the S-Class Mage exams on Tenrou Island over the years!”

However, Natsu did not let them off because of their dissatisfaction with him. Natsu continued pouring it on.

”Bastard!”

”Who are you saying will embarrass the guildʼs seniors?”

”Natsu, youʼd better explain yourself clearly today!”

”I have to say, if you intended to use a provocation on us, Natsu, then I can tell you here that you are very fortunate to have succeeded! Iʼm burning with rage right now…”

Natsuʼs words were indeed effective. With just a few sentences, he directly reignited the boundless fighting spirit of the group of candidates who had originally intended to give up.

”Whatever! Whether we pass the exam or not!”

”At the very least, we have to take down this arrogant bastard Natsu!!”

The group of S-Class Mage candidates simultaneously shouted in their hearts as they looked at Natsuʼs figure.

”Hey! Natsu, youʼve become the target of everyoneʼs anger now. Speaking of which, thereʼs a possibility that before you even reach the examination grounds, youʼll be surrounded and eliminated by everyone else~”

Evan stood on the guild podium, watching the scene before him. Finding it rather amusing, he smiled softly at Natsu.

”Thatʼs exactly what I want!”

In response, Natsuʼs entire body burned with flames, looking completely ready. It seemed that Natsu was not worried at all about being surrounded by everyone, or perhaps Natsu had long since prepared himself to be surrounded by others.

”Anyway, thereʼs only one group that can pass the exam and become S-Class Mages this year, right?”
