Erza, who could have returned to the guild today, was dragged down and had to spend a night in the prison inside the Magic Council.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【However, regardless of anything else, at least the intention was good.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Although good intentions led to bad results...】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The matter ended perfectly the next day.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Natsu, who had recovered his energy, went to challenge Erza to a duel again.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【However, Erza was enjoying her long-awaited strawberry cake and clearly had no intention of dealing with Natsu, so she punched him down directly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Igneel couldn't bear to watch any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Throughout the whole thing, only one trait was shown.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He definitely raised a stupid son, he's truly stupid...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The scene continued.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【This day, a new face that Lucy had never seen before returned to the guild.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Uh... or rather, this is someone few people in the entire guild have seen.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Myster, who every time he appears, uses sleep magic to knock out the entire guild before appearing alone.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Myster's mysteriousness also sparked discussion among everyone.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【When talking about who knows Myster's face, Gray said that I'm afraid only the Master knows.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【And this matter immediately drew opposition from another person staying on the second floor.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Laxus, he had also seen Myster's face.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【However, Laxus clearly didn't want to talk too much with everyone.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Laxus's appearance also instantly sparked Natsu's desire to challenge.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Without a word, he intended to rush to the second floor to challenge Laxus to a duel.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【However, Natsu was stopped halfway.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【\"The second floor is a place only S-class can step into; you're not there yet! Absolutely not!\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Looking at Natsu, who was pinned to the ground, Laxus mocked him mercilessly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【After all, if you can't even reach S-class, how can you dare to challenge me?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【This incident also made Natsu completely conceive the idea of becoming S-class.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【That is to secretly complete an S-class mission; this way, even Makarov couldn't say anything, right?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Thinking and doing, that night, with Happy's cooperation, one man and one cat snuck to the second floor and stole an S-class mission request form.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【And found Lucy.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【At first, Lucy refused, because during her conversation with Mirajane today, she also understood what S-class represented and how dangerous S-class missions were.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【However, the moment she saw that the reward for the mission included the keys to the Zodiac.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Lucy agreed without hesitation.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【That's the Zodiac!】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【There are only twelve in the entire world; being able to have a chance to touch them, for a Celestial Spirit Black Mage, there is nothing that cannot be challenged.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Thus, the group set off overnight.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Until the next day, when Mirajane discovered this, Makarov angrily sent Gray to bring Natsu and the others back.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【But, he didn't calculate that Gray would be unexpectedly tricked by Natsu.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【He was knocked unconscious and taken along with the bags to the mission location, Galuna Island!】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【On the other side, Makarov, who had been waiting for a long time without news, waited for Erza's mission return.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Immediately, Makarov informed Erza of this matter.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Thus, Erza, who was also angry about this, immediately put down her bag and rushed out of the guild.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Intending to go directly to Galuna Island to sacrifice those guys who broke the guild rules on the spot!】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【And at this moment, Natsu and the others, who had already arrived at Galuna Island, were completely unaware.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The angry female knight was already closing in on them!】\u003C\u002Fp>",2109,"2026-06-15T13:50:32.810Z","2026-06-17T08:43:35.817Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","09acb1f36abe524ede298e17159385f15b64cf8204e6e4790de054e3165f6a36","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-217","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-215",287,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-cover.jpg"]
