Chapter 278

【The rent received wasn't much, but at this stage, even a fly is meat.】

【In the two years of time, many things had happened in between.】

【First, it was the birth of Happy.】

【Perhaps fate really exists in this world.】

【Just like in the White World, Happy in the Black World seemed to have recognized Black Natsu.】

【One day, Black Natsu, who was sleeping at home, suddenly noticed something falling from the sky.】

【Just when he thought it was an attack from a dark guild.】

【The egg covered in blue patterns smashed through the ceiling and landed straight on Black Natsu's bedside.】

【It also attracted the attention of Erza, Mirajane, and others who also lived in the villa.】

【After a group of people studied it, although they didn't know what kind of egg it was, they still decided to hatch it.】

【Thus, through the efforts of the group.】

【Happy was born.】

【And he became Black Natsu's follower, to the extent that almost wherever Black Natsu went, he followed.】

【Perhaps out of sentimentality, Black Natsu did not refuse, but chose to adopt Happy, and the boy and the cat became good friends who talked about everything.】

【In these two years, two S-Class Mage examinations had been held.】

【Black Natsu served as the examiner.】

【The first time was last year, when Laxus became an S-Class Mage.】

【This was not surprising, after all, Laxus' strength was there.】

【Although he was still beaten up by Black Natsu during the examination, looking at his strength in all aspects, Laxus still had the qualifications to become an S-Class Mage.】

【Worth mentioning is Laxus' attitude.】

【Perhaps his dream of being strong was shattered, allowing Laxus to recognize himself completely.】

【Therefore, during this period, Laxus began to seriously devote his mind to the life-long task of becoming stronger.】

【As for other people's evaluations...】

【Laxus expressed great disdain.】

【Is this strong? Is this level something that could only be achieved by relying on Makarov's bloodline?】

【Are you kidding me, this is still far from it!】

【If he were still in his own fantasy of being the strongest, Laxus might still feel unhappy about these doubts.】

【But, when he knew he was just a frog in a well, Laxus would only smile at it, why listen to the words of a group of people who didn't understand the world of the strong at all?】

【Even looking at them was like looking at his former self, it only made people feel ridiculous.】

【Laxus has also figured it out now, any evaluation from outsiders is empty.】

【When you are strong enough, or even surpass Makarov.】

【Will there still be anyone saying that you were only able to reach this step by relying on Makarov's lineage?】

【Obviously not, by that time, no matter who it is, they would at most say that the student has surpassed the master, right?】

【This in itself is a compliment to oneself.】

【And the current Laxus is working hard for this goal.】

【Perhaps what Gildarts said was really right, when a person realizes their own weakness, they will become gentle and humble.】

【Makarov was very happy, very happy about Laxus' change now.】

【However, when he thought that such a change was because of the battle between Black Natsu and Gildarts...】

【Makarov couldn't laugh anymore, finally cursed them as two bastards! Then sighed helplessly.】

【Then, it was this year's examination.】

【There were many strong people this year, Erza, Mirajane, and even Cana were selected for the S-Class Mage examination qualifications.】

【And the result, naturally, was Erza winning with an absolute advantage and becoming an S-Class Mage.】

【However, worth mentioning is Mirajane.】

【She still had a very dazzling performance in this examination.】

【She even fought Erza to a draw at one point.】

【Forcing Erza to activate Dragon Force before she could defeat her.】

【Her talent is truly terrifying.】

【Having only cultivated for a short time, she could catch up to Erza in her normal state, this talent can almost be said to be beating most people in the guild.】

【Even, if it continues to develop like this, she might truly catch up to Erza in the future.】

【But no one can say for sure about the future.】

【But there is no doubt that Mirajane's strength is also enough to be ranked S-Class, it's just a pity that she met her nemesis Erza at the current stage.】

【Yes, nemesis.】

【Although the two always show a very friendly appearance in front of Black Natsu by coincidence.】

【But according to other members in the guild, once these two are alone, they will immediately return to a situation of being at each other's throats.】

【Almost every three sentences, they have to fight.】

【Of course, the fighting between companions is more limited to physical collisions, and the two use very little magic.】

【And with Mirajane's current strength, it can almost be said that unless Erza activates Dragon Force, it is impossible to subdue her.】

【Therefore, every time they fight, the two end in a draw.】

【Or rather, they stop only when Black Natsu appears.】

【Regarding this, members in the guild all sighed that in the entire guild, the only one who can stop these two demon kings is Black Natsu.】

【Even Makarov can't!】

【When Makarov goes up to persuade them, he gets beaten up by the two who are in the heat of the moment.】

【Making Makarov hide far away as soon as he sees them now.】

【For fear of falling victim to these two.】

【...】

【Too many things have happened in the two years of time.】

【However, on the whole, everything went smoothly.】

【Over the past two years, Black Natsu has also grown from a little brat into a young man.】

【A height of over 1.7 meters, almost 1.8 meters, makes Makarov sigh.】

【It's really useful for this guy to eat so much, how old is he, and he's already grown so tall?】

【Looking at his bone age, he's only about fifteen years old.】

【Coupled with the experiences over these years, Black Natsu's face has less childishness and more maturity, but the high-spiritedness belonging to a young man can still be seen on his face.】

【It also makes Makarov sigh from time to time that the little guy from back then has truly grown up!】

【A new day arrived as scheduled.】

【On this day, Black Natsu came to the guild's library early with Happy.】

【Unlike other guilds, although Fairy Tail has a deep foundation, the library has an astonishing number of books.】

【However, very few people visit here.】

【In the entire Fairy Tail guild, there is only one little girl named Levy who often appears here.】

【Besides that, Black Natsu or Erza sometimes come here to look for some information.】

【It can only be said that reading books is something that doesn't exist at all for this group of rough guys in Fairy Tail.】

【Today, because it was still early, the entire library had only Black Natsu.】

【Plus this little milk cat Happy.】

【"By the way, why are we here? It's so early, I haven't woken up yet."】

【Happy spread his wings, flying up and down behind Black Natsu.】

【His little paws rubbed his eyes from time to time.】

【The whole cat looked very tired.】

【"Of course, the debt is paid off, and now that I finally have time, I want to do some things I've always wanted to do."】

【"Things you've always wanted to do?"】

【Happy was a bit confused.】

【Black Natsu came to a bookshelf, searched from above, and took down a book.】
