Chapter 462

【What he was thinking in his heart.】

【It's not the first of the younger generation, nor is it the first in Fiore, and certainly not the first in Ishgar!】

【He is...】

【The best in the world!】

【Yes, Black Natsu has enough confidence that he is the best in the world!】

【But at the same time, he clearly understands his own weakness!】

【Thinking this way might be contradictory, but it is indeed the case.】

【Gildarts once had a famous saying: only when one recognizes one's own weakness can one become gentle and strong.】

【This sentence might explain Black Natsu's current state very well.】

【He is the strongest, but also the weakest, and there is no conflict in this.】

【Because strength and weakness have never been just the superficial aspects of power.】

【Laxus couldn't see through this, so he felt that Black Natsu had lost his edge.】

【And precisely because of this, Black Natsu felt it was ridiculous.】

【How can someone who doesn't understand his own heart see through the heart of another?】

【He shook his head.】

【Black Natsu didn't continue to dwell on it.】

【Instead, he turned to look at the S-Class mission board behind him.】

【His mind recalled Gray's request to him not long ago.】

【Gray had been eyeing S-Class missions for a long time, but because of his own strength, he had never been able to achieve it.】

【Since he's already here, why not take Gray to see the world.】

【With this thought, Black Natsu walked toward the S-Class mission board.】

【He casually pulled one off and stuffed it into his pocket.】
