Just imagine, the same person, but in that world, I get beaten up by the black Natsu; my face in this world wouldn’t look good either, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“After all, the me in this world has always been beating up Natsu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Laxus sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I just hope that the me over there won’t be so brain-dead as to challenge the black Natsu; otherwise, I feel like I’ll be laughed to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【On the other side.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Hearing the black Natsu’s question, Makarov’s body also stiffened a bit.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Logically speaking.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Makarov would never stop the people of his own guild from having friendly challenges.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【This is a good thing for both sides.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Having an opponent gives one the motivation to improve.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Therefore, most of the time, Makarov does not forbid fighting within the guild.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【At most, he only stops those fighting guys out of a mentality of minimizing losses when they destroy too many things.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【But... this rule doesn’t seem to apply to the black Natsu.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【To this day, Makarov can still recall.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The scene on the snowy mountain before.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The terrifying scene where a single strike of crimson explosive flames defeated the wyvern and shattered half a mountain peak.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Of course, even more explosive was the black Natsu’s words afterward.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【That was just a greeting!】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【In other words, the black Natsu hadn’t even gotten serious yet, and he had such destructive power.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【If they were to spar... wouldn’t he beat Gray into the hospital in one go?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Even, if it were more serious...】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Gray might become the second person to be unable to withstand the black Natsu’s greeting and ascend to heaven.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Thinking of this, Makarov couldn’t help but shiver.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Old man?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The black Natsu’s puzzled inquiry came from beside him.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Makarov, who was startled awake, immediately shook his head frantically like a rattle-drum.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“No! Absolutely not! At least, it’s not convenient for the black Natsu to accept your challenge for the time being.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【In front of everyone, Makarov said these words.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The guild was suddenly silent.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Huh??”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“What’s the situation? What is this ‘not convenient to accept a challenge’?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Could it be that the youth has some unspeakable secret?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Gray, standing on the table and being the center of attention, also frowned slightly, not understanding what medicine Makarov was selling in his gourd.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【So he quickly asked: “Master? What exactly are you talking about?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“It’s just a fight; don’t we fight every day?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“This is different; you... simply don’t understand the severity of this matter.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Makarov still shook his head, refusing to agree no matter what.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【But this attitude only aroused more suspicion from the people in the guild.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Gray blinked, his not-so-smart brain running wildly, thinking about the meaning of Makarov’s words.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Ultimately, Gray thought that Makarov was worried that he would be too persistent, and if he ended up in a situation where both he and the black Natsu were severely injured, it wouldn’t be good.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【So he nodded knowingly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【He said to Makarov: “I understand, Master, don’t worry, this is just a spar, I will hold back!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“After all, we are all comrades; at the very least, we should know what kind of skills this comrade has, right?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Gray’s words also made everyone in the guild nod incessantly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Yeah, yeah, we should at least know what this new comrade’s magic is and how strong he is, right?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“What’s wrong with letting them have a fight?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Anyway, doesn’t our guild fight every day?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Yeah, yeah, Master, don’t be a killjoy, okay?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The voices of the guild members kept ringing in Makarov’s ears.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Listening to that chorus of voices, Makarov sighed helplessly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Sigh, Gray, this isn’t a question of whether you hold back or not; it’s a question of you definitely not being able to beat him, do you understand?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“I actually didn’t want to say it, just afraid of hurting you, but you insist on coming up...”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Huh??” Gray, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but be briefly stunned.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【What does it mean that he definitely can’t beat the other party? What does it mean that he’s afraid of hurting him?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【No matter what, he counts as a genius.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【After all, if you really want to talk about it, the current Gray can also wrestle with old-generation mages like Macao and Wakaba.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【This already explains the problem; Gray is a genius! There is no doubt about this.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【But... precisely because he is a genius, Gray found it hard to accept Makarov’s words.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【How much do you look down on me???】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Gray, listen to my advice; you are not Natsu’s opponent right now, really, talk about it in a few years, with your talent, it should be fine in a few years.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Looking at the stunned Gray, Makarov comforted him softly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【To be honest, Makarov really didn’t want to say these things; Gray is indeed a genius, so Makarov didn’t want Gray to be hurt by such things and never recover.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“What a joke!!!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Gray reacted, and then roared out.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Clenching his fists tightly, Gray was very unconvinced: “Don’t look down on me, Master! I am also very strong!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Looking at Gray now, Makarov was even more helpless; why was he getting more and more worked up?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“You...”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Just when Makarov wanted to say something else, another voice echoed from the corner of the guild.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Old man, if Gray can’t do it, then what about me? Do you think I can?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The guild members turned their heads one after another to look at the source of that voice.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Laxus?!!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Oh oh oh! Things are starting to get interesting; is even Laxus going to participate?”】\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-15T13:50:31.687Z","2026-06-17T08:43:35.817Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2cb67eaa15bda9f1c9a997f2371cd20cc82229424869864b6fa7a35843e7147d","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-103","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-101",287,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-cover.jpg"]
