The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

The craps game was in full swing, with some fun challenges in between.

For example, changing into someone's clothes, shouting out a certain secret, etc. It's almost the same as truth or dare. Anyway, several viewers watched it with gusto.

However, as the time approached noon and Kira and the other eight people reached the midpoint one after another, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

Compared with the challenges and punishments at the beginning, the card tasks that appear later seem to intentionally or unintentionally guide the eight people participating in the game to interact.

It's not an inappropriate interaction. Makarov isn't that inappropriate. It's just some "playing guessing games with the nearest person," sumo wrestling with the person in front of him, and "arm-wrestling with the person closest to him in age." This kind of task is obviously still deliberately provoking a few people's nerves.

Sure enough, after Natsu moved forward at a certain time, an event related to the assessment was finally triggered - he stood on the same square as Lucy.

According to the rules, people standing on the same grid must engage in a battle, so that the winner can move forward and the loser returns to the starting point, that is to say...

"Natsu wants to hit Lucy?!"

"The scene of domestic violence..."

"Get better!"

"It finally looks like an assessment..."

"Wow cool wow cool pinch!"

"Fight...fight..."

Everyone looked at Natsu and Lucy with smiles on their faces, as if they were watching a show.

Kira shook his head when he saw it: a group of people who are gloating over misfortune! What's so interesting about a young couple fighting? I don't know who I learned this character from... it must be the president!

"Natsu, please don't show mercy!! Women will only hinder your promotion to an S-class mage!!!"

After shouting, Kira felt that she was worrying too much.

What kind of person is Natsu? How could you give up your goals because of a woman? But for Lucy, he would definitely not be harsh, and he also had the ability to subdue Lucy without hurting her.

"Ah ha ha ha... Lucy! Let's show off!!"

At this time, Natsu was smiling happily, with flames burning in his mouth, looking full of fighting spirit; while Lucy looked frightened, her face was pale, her hands were clenched in front of her, and she couldn't stop walking. move back.

"No! No! Absolutely not!!"

"Come on, come on... don't worry, I will be quick, gentle and gentle..."

One stepped back, and the other pressed forward step by step. It was exactly like the scene in novels where a bully molests a beautiful girl. Several people's eyes lit up, their hearts surged, and their breathing increased, especially Makarov and Gildas. These old and crooked guys, Kira almost thought they had an asthma attack.

"What should I do...who can save me now??" Lucy looked at the other people around her desperately——

"Ah...it's so good to be young..."

There is no hope for a few old and dishonest people...

"This kind of scene is really embarrassing~"

Can you please restrain your smile before you say such things, Mira-san...

"Get married as soon as you get back! You two bastards!"

Kanna, stop drinking and wake up! Seeing as I helped you last year, why don't you give me a word or two of support?

"Come on, Lu-chan!"

Rebi-chan is still kind to me, she knows she feels sorry for me, but just shouting is useless...

"Don't be careless and go all out on the ground, Lucy!"

Erza, did you see clearly who I was going to fight...

After looking around, Lucy finally accepted the reality: "These people are all watching a good show. The sisterly love is like a piece of loose sand in front of the fun, and it will be scattered when the wind blows..."

"Can I admit defeat?" In desperation, Lucy could only weakly raise the white flag to surrender.

"no!"

Makarov ruthlessly rejected Lucy's request and roared loudly: "How can you surrender without even trying when you encounter difficulties?! If every magician treats it with such a negative attitude If you take the S-level assessment, how can you become a qualified S-level mage in the future?!"

"Even if you lose, you just have to go through the same path again. It's not a big deal! But if you surrender directly, it means you don't even have the courage to face failure!"

Makarov felt sad for Lucy's useless behavior and severely criticized him: "If you surrender, you will not be able to participate in the S-class assessment for the next three years!"

"Three years? Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Elfman, Wendy..."

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her fingers to count the remaining strong candidates in the guild, "Based on the frequency of at most one person per year, three years doesn't seem to be a very long time..."

Makarov's old face wrinkled into a ball: "..."

Is this a question of whether it will last? This is still a matter of mentality, girl!

Forget it, if the hard one is not enough, then the only choice is the soft one!

"Lucy, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but you have become very strong this year. Even if we look at the entire Kingdom of Fiore, you are still a famous star mage. It's just because our guild is stronger. So you can’t feel the difference.”

With a kind voice and a gentle attitude, Makarov changed his tone of reprimand and turned it into encouragement: "I remember that you were able to defeat a 'Nine Ghost Sect' alone at this time last year, right? Every one of those guys. You are enough to serve as the ace in other magic guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore. Now after a year of training, I believe you are no longer what you used to be."

"The fact that you can collect the keys to all the zodiac stars and get their recognition shows that you are very talented in this area. I think you don't want to waste this talent in vain and let them disappoint you, right?"

"besides……"

"That's enough! I'll just beat him! President, stop talking!" Seeing that Makarov wouldn't stop talking, Lucy could only interrupt him with a frown.

Makarov smiled like a chrysanthemum and nodded with satisfaction: "Yeah... let's get started when you're ready!"

‘I think you just want to see me get beaten! ’

Lucy puffed up her cheeks and glared at Makarov, sighed helplessly, and then her eyes finally became serious.

In fact, Lucy has always been a very motivated person. In her life, writing, practicing, working and even emotions, she has been working hard and working hard in every aspect. Among them are Her own wishes also come from the expectations of those around her, such as her companions, her father, and the protoss.

She wants to become a popular writer, a star model, become stronger and keep up with the rest of the team, and become a trustworthy and trustworthy partner of the protoss... There are many things she wants to do, but due to her personality, talent, and time For various reasons, the results are always insignificant, so we lack confidence and are timid.

But this time, Makarov's words finally woke her up!

She understood: Life is like an ocean, and only those with a strong will can reach the other side!

"Yoshi! In this case, I must use all my strength in this battle to show everyone my long-term efforts and progress!"

After she suddenly came to her senses, Lucy felt a surge of pride in her chest. She ignored all successes and failures, and didn't care whether it hurt or not after being beaten.

"Come on, Natsu! Let's fight me!"

"I'm on fire!!"

Everyone looked at Lucy's change, and everyone was stunned: this heroic spirit, these confident words, this fighting smile, is this person... really the Lucy we are familiar with?

In peacetime...no! Compared with just now, they are completely different!

"Is the president's ability to deceive...already that strong?" Kira looked at Makarov above him in disbelief.

Makarov was stunned, his small eyes showing confusion: "I...I don't know very well..."

I have rarely practiced this kind of encouragement to young people in the past year! I remember the last time I mentioned it was half a year ago. Could it be that in the past six months, my skill has actually improved instead of retreating?

Could it be that this is where my talent lies? !
