Chapter 11

Natsu: "……"

"Happy, whose side are you on?"

However, although he said that, even Natsu himself knew that option C was almost impossible.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it would more likely be A, or perhaps B.

But, it could not possibly be C.

Erza patted Lucy on the shoulder: "Choose C. If it's wasted, it's wasted. Others look down on our guild, but we can't look down on ourselves."

"Even if it's not, we have shown our attitude. We unconditionally believe in our companions."

Erza's words were recognized by everyone.

Lucy also nodded gently, then looked at the answer sheet in her hand.

With a thought, all the other options above disappeared.

Only a big letter C remained, filling the answer sheet.

[Ding! Answer selected, about to reveal the answer.] ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

On the screen.

[Igneel stood with his claws crossed, staring at Natsu, who was standing still without any movement.]

[He was very patient, just watching Natsu quietly.]

[One minute... two minutes...]

[Gradually, ten minutes passed, and even Igneel couldn't help but sigh.]

["Sure enough... is it still not working?"]

Seeing this on the screen, on the desolate plain.

Sting, who had finished his work and was resting on the spot while waiting for the result, had a satisfied smile on his mouth.

Sure enough, having only watched it once and learned it once, how could he possibly learn it?

Dragon Slayer Magic is not so easy to learn.

After all, it is magic used to fight against dragons, magic that gives weak humans the capital to contend with giant dragons.

Such magic, how could it be so easy to learn?

Even he and Rogue only barely learned it after experiencing all kinds of hardships.

Admittedly, in this world, there are things like Dragon Slayer Lacrima.

As long as it is implanted in the body, one can directly use Dragon Slayer Magic.

However, this method is always a stopgap measure, not a permanent cure.

The Dragon Slayer Magic used by people who have implanted Dragon Slayer Lacrima strictly speaking doesn't even belong to them.

It belongs to the skills that come with the Lacrima.

Once the Lacrima is stripped away, the user can no longer use Dragon Slayer Magic.

Thinking of this, Sting patted Rogue's shoulder on the side.

"Let's go, that Natsu-san from the parallel world was just grandstanding."

Rogue nodded gently, then stood up and glanced at the screen: "Boring..."

["Hmm?!"]

The sudden movement made Rogue's tone pause.

"What's wrong? Rogue." Sting also raised his head in confusion.

He looked at the screen.

Immediately, his pupils shrank violently!

["How is that possible?!!"]

Yes, how is that possible?

Almost everyone watching the live broadcast in the sky exclaimed at this moment.

On the screen.

[Just as Igneel shook his head and sighed, preparing to call a stop to Natsu.]

[The suddenly surging magic power fluctuation made Igneel's claws stiffen in mid-air.]

[Hum... hum...]

[A visible halo of magic power rose from Natsu's body, blowing his pink hair tips.]

[Natsu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.]

[All the points Igneel had mentioned earlier, the way of magic power output, the way of magic power conversion, all flashed through his mind as if branded there.]

[Natsu immediately took a deep breath, and his small belly bulged, like an angry pufferfish.]

[Immediately after, in Igneel's shocked gaze, magic power began to construct an extremely complex magic circle in front of Natsu.]

[And this time, it didn't even take more than a second!]

Not just Igneel.

Even the countless people watching the screen now knew.

When learning magic for the first time, the construction of the magic circle is an important factor in whether a magic can be completed.

Magic power conversion, magic power output, magic power size, etc., all these need to be engraved with special symbols to form a magic circle to trigger the magic.

This is the entire process of a magic from charging to release.

The first thing any Black Mage learns when learning magic, besides magic power, is always to familiarize themselves with the structure of the magic circle.

And try to write it and use it.

This process is long, and only when you are familiar with this magic and familiar with the construction of the magic circle.

Can you achieve instant magic casting.

Of course, this does not include those monsters who are born with awakened magic.

After all, that kind of magic is innate.

Once awakened, they know how to use it.

What is referred to here is that any magic learned later needs to go through such a process.

Igneel had also explained the basics and principles of Dragon Slayer Magic circle construction earlier.

The long-winded explanation left almost everyone confused.

But, what are they seeing now?

In less than a second, the magic circle was constructed.

This can almost be called instant magic!

And every Black Mage knows very well what this represents.

Natsu... has he really learned this magic and reached the point of being able to use it proficiently?

[The magic circle unfolded accordingly.]

[The magic power accumulated in Natsu's mouth began to transform into Dragon's Flame through the effect of the magic circle.]

[Natsu, with his mouth puffed out, held his hands in fists and placed them in front of his mouth.]

[A suppressed voice came out: "Fire Dragon's — Roar!!!"]

[Boom————]

[The scorching flames, like a storm, gushed out from Natsu's mouth.]

[The terrifying high temperature burned the weeds and leaves on the ground in front of Natsu along the way.]

[And roared forward.]

[Then it slammed directly into the mountain peak not far away.]

[Bang————!!]

[The sound of the explosion rang out, and the mountain peak not far away seemed to have suffered a devastating blow.]

[The power of Dragon Slayer Magic was perfectly reflected at this moment.]

[Even Natsu, who was just learning, could rely on the super high attack power of Dragon Slayer Magic to destroy one-third of the mountain peak in one blow.]

[Of course, there is also the reason that Natsu's own magic power is not weak at this moment.]

[Countless broken rocks fell off the cliff.]

[A visible huge gap appeared on the complete mountain peak, as if it had been gnawed away by someone.] ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
