Chapter 74

【"Where are you hurt? Did that bastard Metalicana not hold back?"】

【"If that's the case, I have to go find that old guy and have a talk."】

【While saying this, Igneel stood up immediately, preparing to go find Metalicana to reason.】

【Of course, in reality, reasoning was just an excuse; he mostly wanted to have a fight with this old guy.】

【In order to show off his strength.】

【As a dragon, even a dragon who loves peace, there is no lack of competitiveness to some extent.】

【For Igneel, that meant beating up his old friend.】

【Of course, revenge was also true; after all, Igneel is very protective of his own.】

That impulsive look stunned the audience watching the Sky Screen.

Inside the Fairy Tail guild, pairs of eyes locked onto Natsu.

Good guy, so it turns out there is a reason for this reckless personality.

【Looking at Igneel's eager expression, Natsu smiled bitterly helplessly: "It's not like that."】

【Metalicana didn't hurt me, he still has a sense of proportion.】

【"Is that so?"】

【A look of disappointment appeared on Igneel's dragon face.】

【Without an excuse, the fight was ruined.】

【After all, his status is still the Dragon King; if he beat up another dragon for no reason, would I, Igneel, have no face if it got out?】

【However, Natsu's situation was more important, so Igneel asked again in confusion: "Then, what's wrong with you?"】

【Regarding this, Natsu didn't have the need to hide it.】

【I'm just calculating the time.】

【He looked at the full moon in the sky and said.】

【"Calculating the time?" Igneel was confused, what kind of situation was this?】

【"My training plan still has a 100-kilometer weighted run that hasn't been completed, if it's any later, it will be too late."】

【"Oh." Igneel turned his head away indifferently.】

【Abruptly, his huge body stiffened.】

【"You... what did you just say?"】

【Seeming not to believe it himself, Igneel stared at Natsu fixedly.】

【"Training." Saying this, Natsu shook his head helplessly.】

【"Instead of having a meaningless party here, I might as well take the time to train, at least this way I won't waste time, right?"】

【Igneel blinked his huge eyes curiously at Natsu.】

【"Are you serious? Natsu?"】

【"Is this what you were doing every day, going out early and returning late?"】

【Facing Igneel's surprise, Natsu touched his chin.】

【"Um... maybe it's also a habit problem, if I don't finish the training, I feel itchy all over, and it's not very comfortable."】

Makarov: "This is too diligent, right?"

Hades: "Feeling guilty if training isn't finished? Is this still a normal person?"

Macao: "Yeah, yeah, with this attitude, it's a world of difference from the Natsu on our side."

Happy: "I report, the Natsu on our side, all he thinks about all day is sleeping and eating, cultivation or whatever is almost non-existent."

Natsu: "Huh? What are you saying, Happy, don't I often do special training?"

Happy: "If you mean the temporary cramming during every S-Class Mage assessment, then that does count as training."

Natsu: "..."

Mavis: "I have to say, the Natsu on that side is so strong, there is a reason for it."

Irene: "Mm, there is a reason."

【The banquet finally came to an end.】

【Natsu refused Igneel's idea of carrying him back.】

【Instead, he picked up a huge rock on the spot.】

【"Igneel, you go back first, I'll carry this back, otherwise today's training volume won't be finished."】

【Having said that, he immediately took steps and ran toward the depths of the forest.】

【Watching Natsu's departing back, Igneel's heart was almost blooming with joy.】

【"So worry-free, so worry-free, with Natsu's performance, the other few guys must be drooling with envy, right?"】

【With strange thoughts, Igneel also flapped his wings simultaneously, following far behind Natsu.】 ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
