Chapter 257

Kagura: "Hmm... strictly speaking, yes..."

Millianna: "Then how long did it take for Kagura to reach this point initially??"

Kagura: "About two months, I suppose."

Sting: "So you're saying Black Natsu's talent is even higher than Kagura's?"

Orga: "Hey, hey, hey, this is getting a bit insane. Isn't that guy a brawler? How is his swordsmanship this terrifying too? Is he trying to make the rest of us look bad?"

Ultear: "No, how on earth did this guy manage to do this?"

Meredy: "I don't know, we don't understand swordsmanship at all. That's something you'd have to ask Erza and the others about."

Erza: "To be honest, I find it hard to imagine that someone could reach this stage in a single day. This... can't even be described as genius anymore, right?"

Natsu: "Then what should we call it?"

Lily: "The kind where the heavens chase you down to feed you. With this kind of talent, if it were me, I might already be the strongest existence in the Fairy Tail guild."

"This is just too exaggerated!"

【In the footage.】

【Black Natsu seems to have noticed the person approaching from behind.】

【He stops his training movements and wipes the sweat beads seeping from his forehead.】

【"Yo, Erza, take a look, is it like this?"】

【Erza's eyes are already wide open.】

【Her mouth opens involuntarily.】

【After a long moment, she manages to squeeze out two words: "Monster! This is truly a monster!!!"】

【Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman look left and right.】

【Their gazes shift back and forth between Black Natsu and Erza.】

【They eventually reach a conclusion.】

【This Black Natsu seems to have accomplished something incredible.】

【"Brother Natsu, so amazing!"】

【Lisanna, not understanding the situation, cups her cheeks and exclaims in admiration!】

【Time passes.】

【The group's valley training trip ends on the fourth day with Mirajane successfully mastering Take Over Magic.】

【Mirajane is truly a genius; in just four days, she successfully learned Take Over Magic, not only restoring her arm.】

【She also mastered high-difficulty magic like Full Body Take Over.】

【Although, for now, a single Take Over completely drains Mirajane's magic power, one must remember that Mirajane's target is a demon!】

【And, among demons, it belongs to the top tier: Satan Soul!】

【It is no exaggeration to say that after Mirajane takes over Satan, she can even fight to a draw with Erza in her normal state, which is enough to prove Mirajane's strength.】

【As for Lisanna and Elfman, they gradually felt a trace of magic power during this time, which can be considered a great improvement.】

【Of course, the genius who shocked Erza the most over these past few days was none other than Black Natsu.】

【Would you believe that it's only the fourth day, and Black Natsu is already able to trade a few blows with her in swordsmanship?】

【Erza states that in all her years, this is the first time she has seen such a monster.】

【Given time, Erza doesn't even doubt that Black Natsu's swordsmanship will eventually surpass her own.】

【Of course, Erza's true strength lies not in swordsmanship, but in the power of the Sword Dragon, however... even starting from this point.】

【Black Natsu's true strength is not swordsmanship, but magic, even more powerful Dragon Slayer Magic.】

【Over these four days, Erza has been sighing almost every day.】

【"Indeed! Comparing people only leads to frustration. Why does such a freak exist in this world??"】

【The four days of training conclude, and after spending these days together, everyone's relationship has become much closer.】

【However, for some reason, Erza and Mirajane seem to have a budding sense of mutual dislike.】

【Of course, these things are not within Black Natsu's scope of concern.】

【Get stronger! Get stronger! Strong enough to save Igneel, strong enough to take down Acnologia—that is where Black Natsu's focus lies for now.】

【Following Mirajane's successful mastery of Take Over Magic.】

【The group sets off on the journey back.】

【The specialized motorcycle for Dragon Slayers used when they arrived can no longer be used.】

【After all, the number of people has increased significantly.】

【Thus, they have no choice but to take the train back to the guild.】

【Although Black Natsu is opposed to it, he cannot win against Erza.】

【In her words, if I, a girl, can handle it, how could you not?】

【However, once on the train, Erza regrets what she said.】

【The dizziness brought on by the train is far worse than that of a carriage.】

【So much so that, under the incredulous gazes of Mirajane and the others.】

【As soon as they board, the two strongest combatants collapse.】

【This makes Mirajane start to imagine, what if they encountered some train robbers or something along the way.】

【Would she have to rely on herself, the currently strongest person?】

【The journey ends up being safe despite the risks.】

【The group arrives at the Magnolia train station.】

【Everything in the big city was revealed to the eyes of Mirajane and the others.】

【For them, having never left their village from childhood to now, everything here was novel.】

【Especially the little loli Lisanna, who held a keen interest in everything along the way.】

【After a round of wandering.】

【The little girl's arms were already full of all kinds of novel snacks.】

【Along the way, the little girl's unrestrained laughter drifted through the air.】

【Soon, the group finally arrived at their destination, the Mage Guild, Fairy Tail.】

【And they successfully met Makarov.】

【Upon meeting, looking at the beauties beside Black Natsu, Makarov couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows wildly.】

【Good grief!】

【Going out for a trip, you bring back three little sisters???】

【You're really something, even Gildarts couldn't do such a thing, it had to be you, Black Natsu!】

【Makarov couldn't help but complain wildly.】

【However, after learning the story of Black Natsu's trip.】

【Makarov's eyes lit up.】

【That look... he even wished he could immediately pick up Black Natsu and kiss him twice!】

【A lucky star! Truly a lucky star!!】

【Not to mention that he himself is a monster, going out for a trip, he actually brought back two geniuses for the guild.........】

【They are truly geniuses among geniuses.】

【Whether it was Erza or Mirajane, with Makarov's eye, he could tell.】

【These are two good seedlings!】

【If they continue to grow like this, they are the kind of good seedlings that are guaranteed to reach the Ten Wizard Saints in the future.】

【You must know, in the entire Ishgar Continent, how many Ten Wizard Saints are there?】

【Ten???】

【No, no, no, in fact, until now, the title of Ten Wizard Saints has not been filled.】

【There are still vacancies.】

【Although it is said that the Ten Wizard Saints do not represent the strongest, this is also a threshold of strength.】

【How many people can truly reach the combat power level of the Ten Wizard Saints?】

【But now, within the Fairy Tail guild, there are countless good seedlings with the potential to reach the Ten Wizard Saints.】

【First of all, Gildarts' strength is undoubtedly at the level of the Ten Wizard Saints, and even... possibly among the top few of the Ten Wizard Saints, the kind of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.】

【Even Makarov hasn't seen Gildarts make a move for a long time, but this guy is undoubtedly strong.】
