Chapter 225

"So, are you here now to settle the score?"

Black Natsu asked.

Laxus did not reply immediately, instead maintaining a steady gaze at Black Natsu.

For a moment, the air itself seemed to stagnate!

Invisible magic power rose slowly.

After a long while, Laxus looked away.

"I definitely will, but not right now."

"The time for this year's S-Class promotion test has already passed, so the S-Class test won't begin until next year. I'll be waiting for you there!"

"I believe that with your strength, you won't fail to be selected. When the time comes, I will defeat you fair and square!"

"So, you'd better be ready!"

After dropping these words, Laxus turned around, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Back where he stood, Black Natsu crossed his arms and whispered, "Is this a declaration of war against me?"

"Looks like the old man was right; the guild is actually quite interesting."

Black Natsu did not linger in place either.

Instead, he turned around and walked toward the guild.

He pushed open the back door of the guild.

Inside, it was still the same chaotic scene as before.

Some were sleeping, others were acting drunk.

Over there, one could even see Cana dancing on the bar counter.

Hm? Wait! Cana is dancing??

Black Natsu squinted to look!

Good grief, Cana was currently standing on an empty wine barrel, her cheeks flushed and her eyes unfocused.

Her hands were waving wildly like a ghost, as if she were dancing.

She was humming a disjointed little tune.

"How long has it been? A barrel of wine is already gone??"

Seeming to have heard Black Natsu's voice, Cana steadied herself.

She looked toward Black Natsu's direction, then shook her head erratically.

"It's not one barrel~ it's... ten barrels~ *hic*~~"

Cana pointed smilingly toward the inside of the bar.

Black Natsu leaned in to look, good grief!

The ten barrels of high-concentration spirits that had been neatly stored behind the bar were now all empty, scattered across the floor.

A strong scent of alcohol hit his nose.

Black Natsu's mouth twitched wildly; he turned around, looking at Cana with an incredulous gaze.

At this moment, he finally understood that geniuses truly exist in this world.

Just like Cana before him, a natural-born drunkard.

If one could become stronger by drinking,

without a doubt, Cana would become the strongest existence in the world, suppressing this entire era! ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
