During this time, the two candidates can prepare on their own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"At that time, gather at Hargeon Port. Of course, we will go together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Makarov said, looking at the two chosen ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Laxus didn't reply, only glancing sideways at Black Natsu before his mouth moved slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although no sound was made, Black Natsu still saw Laxus’s lip movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll be waiting for you at the final point of the exam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The corners of his mouth curled up slightly; Black Natsu’s expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even pay much attention to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Black Natsu had no interest in trash talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everything would be settled by their own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that Black Natsu ignored him, Laxus frowned slightly, clicked his tongue, and left the guild on his own without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Makarov, standing on the high platform, watched Laxus’s retreating back and sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then he shook his head and turned his gaze to Black Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The exam is finally here. Don't let me down, kid! I have high hopes for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even Gildarts walked down from the stage, his large hand patting Black Natsu’s shoulder naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, not bad, kid! I remember when we met last time, I said you were very strong, and now it seems my judgment was correct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now I’m starting to look forward to your performance in this exam more and more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uncle, that’s not what you’re looking forward to, right? Shouldn't you be looking forward to the red-light district on the west corner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Black Natsu also teased Gildarts for a rare moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for Gildarts, the two had met when Black Natsu first joined the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps there really is such a thing as hitting it off at first sight in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At least, that was how it was when Black Natsu met Gildarts; the two were like friends who were born to be friends, and they found each other very pleasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was that kind of \"meeting late\" situation, so the two even became friends across generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They had talked a lot last time, so Black Natsu also knew that every time Gildarts came back, he basically ran to the red-light district.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every time, he would spend all the money he earned in the red-light district, then go out to earn more, then come back, then the red-light district, repeating like this, extremely carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, most people in the Fairy Tail guild didn't know about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, Gildarts, the strongest of the Fairies, still needed some face, so besides some old guys in the guild who had the same hobbies, no one else knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only Black Natsu knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, the moment he heard Black Natsu’s words,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gildarts hurriedly reached out and covered Black Natsu’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hey! Kid, didn't we agree not to talk about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mmph... I was just mentioning it subtly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And, it was more to advise you, worrying about your health, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My health? Are you kidding? My body is strong as hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this with a brat like you. You're not even an adult yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not far away, a young girl watched this scene silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She pursed her lips gently, then lowered her head, her small hands playing with the lapels of her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Her gaze fell into deep thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Outside the sky-screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fairy Tail guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gildarts watched the footage above, then looked at Cana not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of regret filled the depths of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't help but hammer his own thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh... it's all my fault. Back then, it was so obvious so many times, why didn't I notice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Didn't notice... that Cana was my daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Makarov beside him was drinking while muttering: \"That child, she always felt very lonely when she was young. At the time, I thought it was just her personality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now that I think about it, it's my fault for not caring more about the psychological state of the guild members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What are you guys talking about?\" Cana seemed to notice the situation between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gildarts didn't speak, just gritted his teeth, then suddenly hugged Cana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sorry... Cana, I was too careless back then, I actually... actually never noticed you were right by my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cana was a bit confused by this sudden outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, when she saw the sky-screen footage focused on herself in the black world, Cana understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She smiled helplessly: \"Alright, haven't we already said it? None of that matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Besides, it was my own fault at the time, always thinking that I could only reveal my identity after becoming an S-Class Black Mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Only an S-Class Black Mage is qualified to be your daughter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But, everything is in the past now, and we've recognized each other, haven't we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gildarts let go of Cana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He nodded with a smile: \"Yeah, at least now we've recognized each other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One week passed slowly under the expectant gazes of the mages in the Fairy Tail guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On this day, a large number of Fairy Tail guild members gathered at Hargeon Port.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the dock, a ship flying the Fairy Tail flag was docked there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You must become an S-Class Black Mage! We'll prepare a victory drink for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cana patted Black Natsu’s shoulder and said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Victory drink? I'm afraid it's prepared for you, Cana?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mirajane shook her head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Anyway, perform normally, I believe you can do it.\" Erza’s expression was very serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yeah, wait for my good news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Black Natsu smiled, then waved goodbye to everyone, and boarded the ship with Laxus, who was leaning against a stone pillar listening to music silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then, under Makarov’s command, the ship set sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It sailed slowly toward the depths of the vast ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the lonely island, towering trees stood tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the depths of that forest, roars belonging to monsters came one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Here, slaughter happened every moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Here, every day, at least two dozen S-Class monsters fell, and new monsters rose to dominate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was the Monster Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A graveyard for humans!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because it bred many exceptionally powerful monsters, and these monsters could be considered treasures from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, many people posted missions, all for the treasures on these monsters, and without a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every one of these missions was an S-Class, ultra-high-difficulty mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The rules are simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the entrance of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Makarov was writing and drawing in the air with a magic pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gildarts’s location is in the center of this island, and before you, there are two paths that Gildarts opened up in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Both paths lead to Gildarts’s location, but because powerful monsters often enter and exit the island, the dangers are unknown, and the difficulties are unknown.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It is even possible that these two paths have been destroyed by powerful monsters, but regardless, your goal is to reach Gildarts’s location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No matter what difficulties you encounter in the middle, and no matter what method you use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Find Gildarts, and the first round is considered passed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Listening to Makarov’s words, Laxus couldn't help but raise a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh~ a clearance game? Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Makarov looked at Black Natsu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I have no problem, I can pass this level easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then since you both have no problems, start choosing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1231,"2026-06-15T13:50:31.687Z","2026-06-17T08:43:35.817Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fa81ac8177461b7ff5eaf6562797926e12360374a74fa6c9dca34f18d9d0d3a6","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-125","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-123",287,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-cover.jpg"]
