Chapter 431

【It seemed that she wanted to see Makarov's expression of despair.】

【And in fact, Makarov was also very willing to follow Granny Ooba's heart now.】

【Anyway, the person who became the clown in the end was definitely not himself.】

【After all...】

【Makarov looked at Black Natsu, who was already standing at the edge of the battlefield, intending to take the stage after the battle between Jura and Ichiya ended.】

【With such a monster there, how could I lose?】

【So, Makarov immediately started acting.】

【That old face seemed worried to the extreme.】

【Solemn to the extreme!】

【Ugly to the extreme!】

【This series of facial changes fell into Granny Ooba's eyes, making her heart extremely refreshed.】

【It's been so many years, and finally, I can suppress the arrogant arrogance of this damn old man.】

【God knows, before, the younger generation of Fairy Tail emerged one after another.】

【When Gildarts's strength suppressed everyone, how arrogant Makarov was.】

【Now... these can finally be returned!】

【Center of the battlefield.】

【Ichiya stared at Jura solemnly.】

【Ichiya fell into deep thought about the terrifying magic power possessed by this bald guy.】

【He clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them.】

【He sighed helplessly: "Een~ forget it, I can't beat you, Jura."】

【Jura folded his hands modestly.】

【"Jura doesn't want to have a grudge with everyone, if we can not fight, it's best not to fight."】

【Ichiya smiled, then turned and left toward the crowd.】

【That back seemed to have no hesitation at all.】

【After all, his strength had already been shown, anyway, Ichiya couldn't beat the Ten Wizard Saint now, so it's better not to fight.】

【What if I lose face later?】

【After all, Ichiya cares very much about his handsome face.】

【Ichiya's retreat also made everyone present feel Jura's strength more deeply.】

【Even Ichiya, who could defeat Bacchus, bowed down.】

【I'm afraid that Jura's strength is higher than most of the older generation.】

【Letting such an existence participate in the competition of the younger generation is really too bullying.】

【Jura bowed slightly to everyone, thinking it was over, he intended to leave.】

【However, just at this time.】

【A figure walked slowly in front of Jura.】

【"Don't panic, isn't there still someone?"】

【Black Natsu stood in front of Jura, crossed his arms, and said softly.】

【"Mr. Natsu?"】

【Looking at the young man in front of him who was much younger than himself.】

【Jura's brows frowned slightly.】 【At the previous banquet, Black Natsu and Jura could be considered to have known each other shallowly.】

【Jura was also very clear about some things about Black Natsu in front of him.】

【100% mission completion rate, just this point is enough to make people horrified.】

【And many years ago, he became an S-class mage.】

【Undoubtedly, the Black Natsu in front of him, his strength is definitely not weak.】

【However... Jura has confidence that he can take down Black Natsu.】

【So he responded politely: "Does Mr. Natsu want to have a fight with me?"】

【Hearing this, Black Natsu spread his hands helplessly: "Actually, I don't want to, but, because of someone's request, therefore, I must stand out."】

【"Mr. Natsu's master, Mr. Makarov, right?"】

【Jura nodded knowingly.】

【Obviously, he agreed with this very much.】

【Because, to be honest, Jura doesn't like this kind of situation.】

【Fighting or something, it makes no sense at all.】

【I guess it can only make people who value honor laugh.】

【However, as a member of the guild, under the request of the guild master, it is not easy to refuse.】

【"Then if that's the case, why don't we, Mr. Natsu, just deal with a few moves, so that those elders can be happy." Jura said.】

【"That's not necessary." Black Natsu waved his hand.】

【"Since we are going to fight, then there must be someone who falls, otherwise, this competition will be useless."】

【Black Natsu's words made Jura pause slightly.】

【After a while, as if enlightened, he murmured: "Respect by going all out?"】

【The corners of his mouth rose slowly.】

【"So that's it, my realm is not as good as Mr. Natsu's!"】

【Listening to Jura's words, this time it was Black Natsu's turn to be stunned.】

【This guy... seems to have misunderstood something; I just wanted to knock him down, there is no such thing as respect by going all out.】

【After all... to be honest, the person who can make Black Natsu go all out, perhaps except for Acnologia, will never exist again.】

【Moreover, strictly speaking, Acnologia can no longer be counted as a person.】

【At most, it can only be counted as a killing program.】

【But it doesn't matter.】

【Black Natsu raised his palm toward Jura and hooked it gently.】

【"Come on, Jura!"】

【Looking at this scene, everyone around was whispering.】

【It was just that Black Natsu's actions were a bit surprising.】

【Usually, only the challenged can make such an action, but now it is completely reversed.】

【According to the example, shouldn't Black Natsu be the challenger, and Jura should say this sentence?】

【Granny Ooba, who was watching the battle not far away, bit her lip tightly.】

【The back of that young man seemed to remind her of that annoying guy.】

【At this age, they are equally confident, equally arrogant, equally proud!】

【No... it should be said that Black Natsu, facing the Ten Wizard Saint, is countless times more arrogant than Makarov back then!】

【In any case, the opponents Makarov faced back then were mostly people of his own generation, or people whose strength was not much different.】

【But, Black Natsu...】

【Jura was also confused by this.】

【But soon he reacted.】

【He smiled gently.】

【He didn't care about this arrogance or not; for him, if he had a choice, he would hope to be peaceful.】

【If not... he would be the exact opposite! Longing to have a good fight.】

【After all, those who can be ranked among the Ten Wizard Saints at this age are almost invincible among their peers.】

【Invincibility is sometimes very lonely.】

【At least, Jura felt this loneliness.】

【Therefore, watching Natsu let himself take the lead with confidence.】

【Jura's heart was agitated.】

【That was the precursor to the awakening of fighting spirit, making Jura's whole body's magic power begin to surge wildly!】

【Whoosh... whoosh...】
