Chapter 136: A Novel Way of Answering Questions

Hades: "It's here! It's Black Natsu again!"

Brain: "No way, is this guy trying to go head-to-head with the Thunder Dragon?!"

Mard Geer: "This is purely a path to death. Defeating Nikel before was already amazing, but the Thunder Dragon and Nikel are completely different levels of enemies!"

Juvia: "But, didn't Black Natsu-san just punch that so-called Thunder Dragon away? From this point of view, Black Natsu-san should still have a winning percentage, right?"

Mavis: "Actually, facts cannot be viewed this way. Analyzing from the previous angle, Black Natsu just took full advantage of the surprise attack."

"But the Thunder Dragon didn't make any preparations, which is why it was blown away so easily."

Makarov: "So, even the First Master doesn't favor Black Natsu?"

Happy: "So that means, Black Natsu is really in danger?"

Mavis: "I can't say that either. On the contrary, I actually favor Black Natsu very much."

"It's just that, as Happy said, there is definitely danger."

"But it's not like there's no chance of winning."

Gajeel: "Oh? How so? Does Black Natsu really have a chance to kill that Thunder Dragon?"

"If that's really the case, doesn't that mean the current Black Natsu can even beat Metalicana?"

Erin: "It's different. Even among titled dragons, there are gaps. From the previous performance of the sky curtain, Metalicana is more than a little bit stronger than Thunder Dragon Augusting."

"Just like Belserion, who can deal with two titled giant dragons, Augusting and Douglas, even when his injuries have not healed."

"Although the final result is not ideal, Belserion can indeed hold on for a long time. This is the gap in strength."

August: "So, are these two titled dragons actually not strong?"

Erin: "I can't say they aren't strong, just not that strong, but they are definitely far beyond ordinary giant dragons. Let's say... they just reached the level of titled."

Makarov: "I see. So, is this the winning chance the First Master just mentioned?"

Mavis: "Yes, according to my analysis of all the data shown by both sides, and also considering the restraint of Dragon Slayer Magic against dragons."

"Black Natsu is not 100% going to lose!"

Regarding Mavis's words, almost everyone who knew Mavis believed them firmly.

From a certain perspective, the data analysis provided by Mavis was a microcosm of the actual situation.

More than a hundred years ago, it was precisely by relying on this ability that Mavis led the Fairy Tail of that time to win the trade war.

And thus was dubbed the title of Fairy Tactician!

It is said that Mavis can deduce hundreds or thousands of possibilities for one thing and filter out the ones with the highest probability from these possibilities.

And facts have also proven that the possibilities Mavis inferred are highly likely to happen.

This ability can almost be said to be comparable to foreseeing the future.

Makarov: "Then... I want to ask, what is Black Natsu's winning percentage?"

Mavis: "Hmm... about 1%."

Makarov: "???"

Hades: "1%? What's the difference between that and nothing?"

Mavis: "It's different. A 1% chance proves that Black Natsu has the capital to confront the Thunder Dragon."

"It's just that the gap in strength on paper is too large."

"To be honest, a giant dragon of the Thunder Dragon's level is simply not something Black Natsu should be facing now."

"It's just that Black Natsu can indeed hurt the Thunder Dragon, which gives him a glimmer of possibility to defeat the Thunder Dragon."

"However, if he wants to escape, there shouldn't be any problem."

Just when countless people were discussing Natsu's punch.

【Ding!】

【The prompt sound from the sky curtain system sounded suddenly.】

【Next, we will enter the prize-winning quiz session.】

Mard Geer: "Quiz! It's finally here! This time I must participate in the quiz and get the reward!"

Zeref: "A prize-winning quiz? I won't miss it this time... I also want a pair of boots to break the curse."

August: "In that case, we will definitely try our best to help His Majesty get the answer card."

Erin: "However, I also want to answer the question and get the reward, so... Your Majesty, we might become opponents this time."

Zeref: "It doesn't matter, at worst, we'll just grab two more answer cards."

Brain: "Are you people from the Alvarez Empire too arrogant? Is an answer card something you can get whenever you want?"

"It's not certain where it will fall."

August: "Indeed, the answer card is random, but we have an entire empire as support. As long as the answer card falls within our empire's range, no matter how many there are, they will all be in our hands!"

Brain: "An entire empire?!"

"Hey, hey, aren't you guys cheating a bit? This is simply unfair."

Brain's complaint resounded on the world channel.

At this moment, the text on the sky curtain updated again, and the question was displayed in front of everyone.

【Question: Next, what kind of choice will Natsu and Erin make?】

【A: Natsu briefly repels the Thunder Dragon, then flees with Erin. On the way, Erin takes the time to kill Noel and Dylan.】

【B: After Natsu briefly repels the Thunder Dragon, he joins hands with Erin to confront the giant dragon, but is eventually defeated and erased. On the way, Erin takes the time to kill Noel and Dylan.】

【C: After Natsu briefly repels the giant dragon, he successfully attracts the giant dragon's attention and circles with it, successfully dragging it until Belserion kills another giant dragon and comes to support. The war is won. On the way, Erin kills Noel and Dylan directly.】

【D: Natsu and Erin join forces in a desperate situation and eventually defeat the Thunder Dragon Augusting. Afterward, Erin kills Noel and Dylan.】

Makarov: "Pfft! So, no matter what, Erin is going to kill Noel and Dylan?"
