Fairy: You Call this Borrowing Power? This is An Open Robbery!

the other side.

The constant sound of thunder opened up the road to the foot of the mountain.

Laxus came here with a scar.

Despite choosing a ~straight path,

But it doesn't mean that there are no obstacles on this road.

At best, it's just to get here earlier,

It's just a little less than the other one.

As a result, Laxus was injured, although not seriously.

But it will also have an impact on the various battles that may unfold in the future.

However, now Laxus doesn't care so much anymore,

Look up.

It was an almost ninety-degree cliff.

And his mission...

To climb this mountain!

According to the regulations, although magic can be used, flying magic cannot be used.

Therefore, I want to use the thunderbolt to rush up in one go.

Certainly would be considered to use flying magic.

In other words...for Laxus it will only be possible to climb!

"However...it's not difficult for me at this level!"

Without hesitation, Laxus charged directly towards the mountain.

With one foot on the ground, the whole person relies on this powerful recoil ability,

He jumped up high, and then clasped his hands on the rock that didn't protrude much.

Start to crawl towards the top frantically.

An altitude of more than 5,000 meters above sea level is not an easy task.

However, considering that the player may fall off due to lack of physical strength in the middle.

Therefore, Makarov also arranged teleportation magic around the mountain.

If the player falls,

It will be teleported to the ground for the first time.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about anything unexpected.

The other side of the mountain, due to the distance is slightly far away.

Luo Xingchen was nearly ten minutes behind Laxus.

But look at the cliffs in front of you.

Luo Xingchen didn't plan to crawl with his bare hands.

He stretched out his palm, and the golden light was gathering.

The next moment, Ji Bing's Dragon Slayer badge appeared in his hands.

Throw it up high, under the illumination of the magic circle.

The dragon-killing power belonging to Ji Bing once again filled his body.

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling the familiar power in his body.

Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.

He turned around and walked towards the back.

Luo Xingchen didn't stop until he was about 100 meters away from the foot of the mountain.

He turned around and stared at the top of the mountain so high that it broke through the clouds.

Take a deep breath.

The magic power began to gather on the feet, and the cold air suddenly erupted from Luo Xingchen's feet.

The earthy-yellow ground began to turn white at an alarming rate.

It was a very icy color.

Deep burning cold air wafts around.

Luo Xingchen slowly raised his right foot.

Fall towards the mid-air, the next moment!

The ice crystals spread up to the ground, and a staircase of ice about fifteen to seventeen centimeters high condensed under Luo Xingchen's feet.

For Luo Xingchen to settle down.

Immediately afterwards, the left foot was raised again and moved towards the top.

The polar ice spread up again, forming a ladder.

That's why Luo Xingchen is stepping back.

After all, you have to leave enough angle for yourself to build the ice ladder.

The sun approaching dusk cast an orange light.

Dyeing a different color for the white and flawless ice crystals.

And above the ice crystals,

The black-haired boy is walking up step by step,

Step by step towards the top of the mountain,

Towards the highest point...

On the other side, the blond-haired boy did not slack at all.

The hands were rubbed with blood from the climbing.

Intensive sweat oozes out from the forehead due to the heavy consumption of physical strength.

However, he always gritted his teeth.

Filled with resolute eyes, he did not move away from the highest point for a moment.

top of mountain.

Unlike regular peaks, it is wide below and narrow above.

Because of its close to the shape of a cylinder.

Therefore, the area here is also unusually large.

And at the very center.

A middle-aged man in a black cloak is sitting here bored.

There is a dog's tail grass in the mouth.

His eyes constantly glanced at the ends of the mountain tops on both sides.

Seems to be a little tired.

He put his hands on his knees and stood up.

I twisted my neck, which was a little stiff from holding a movement for a long time.

Then he turned his eyes to his right.

smiled.

As if waiting for something to come.

next moment!

The pervasive cold air spreads to the edge of the cliff.

The black-haired boy stepped on top of the khaki mountain top.

"I didn't expect that you who chose the farther road would be the first to arrive. 35

"Stars!

Gildarts smiled slightly.

"After all, my magic has the upper hand. 35 Luo Xingchen walked towards Gildarts.

Coming to him, Luo Xingchen asked aloud:

"So, what is the second level?"

Gildarts shook his head: "Don't worry, we'll have to wait until you're all here."

"Counting the time, Laxus is almost here."

"Laxus?"

Luo Xingchen's gaze turned to another direction.

・・・ Flowers・

Not much to say.

Combined with Makarov's words earlier.

And Gildarts' attitude to wait.

Luo Xingchen basically guessed the content of the second assessment.

As expected,

It is to face Gildarts, the only S-rank wizard of Fairy Tail.

He is also the strongest wizard of Fairy Tail at present.

Under such oppression, did the two choose to fight on their own?

Or a common enemy?

This is also a test for both of them.

Sure enough, the assessment of an S-rank mage is definitely not that simple.

For a while, the two men, one big and one small, waited again.

After a full hour.

There was finally movement at the edge of the cliff.

A big hand stained with blood slapped on the cliff.

Immediately after, Laxus climbed up.

.0

"Huh...huh..."

The intense consumption of physical strength made Laxus' chest rise and fall.

But, at the moment, Laxus is happy.

Although I don't know what the final result will be.

But now he has set foot on the highest mountain,

He seems to have stepped halfway into the hurdle of an S-rank mage.

Gildarts didn't speak.

Rather, it gives full play to the spirit of humanity.

After letting Laxus rest for a while.

Then he clapped his hands and motioned for the two to come to him.

Immediately,

Laxus found Luo Xingchen, who had been waiting on the top of the mountain.

Doubt mixed with disbelief filled his eyes.

But soon, he calmed down.

took a deep breath,

Laxus didn't say anything.

After all, it's just a temporary loss, and it must not be anything.

Only the one who has the last laugh is the real winner.

"Congratulations to the two of you for passing the first test. 35

Gildarts spoke slowly.

"Overall, you're ahead of the allotted 24 hours by almost half of the time, which is remarkable.

"but……

Boom ▬▬▬▬!!

Magic gushes frantically from Gildarts' body.

The ground began to tremble, the sky began to howl,

The birds perched on the top of the mountain are collapsing frantically.

"Then the second level has officially begun!

"And your task is to..."

"Hit me!!"

Gildarts looked directly at the two in front of him:

"Come on, young people who shoulder the future of Fairy Tail!"9

this moment!

Fairy Tail's strongest sorcerer, towards the two boys.

Issued the gauntlet!!! B.
