Gray, don’t talk nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who punched Gray was the red-haired girl beside him—her face delicate, clad in armor with a sword at her waist, noticeably taller than Gray, radiating a fierce spirit; she would surely grow into a stunning beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scolding Gray, Erza sprinted toward the unconscious Natsu, her face filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Erza believed Mo En had held back, seeing Natsu so utterly still, she couldn’t help but worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go take a look too, Cana.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Erza move, Gray quickly followed, calling out to the girl nearby holding a cute white puppy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cana obediently replied, clutching the puppy and hurrying after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had long brownish hair tied into a ponytail at the back, wearing an orange strap dress—she looked sweet and innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Gray, where’s your clothes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While running, Cana reminded Gray of his sudden undressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! When?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray looked utterly shocked, as if just now realizing his clothes were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Gray forgot about Natsu and frantically searched for his clothes; Cana set down the puppy and helped him search—both of them, plus the dog, were in a frantic scramble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion pulled Mo En out of his shock—he stopped examining the “Pony Bronze Saint Cloth” and turned his gaze to the fallen Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Natsu lie motionless, Mo En wasn’t worried—he knew his own strength well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Natsu’s body was incredibly tough, far beyond normal humans; he could tell from the impact of his punches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one effect of “Dragon Slayer Magic,” a magic that transformed the user’s body into a dragon’s. Mo En had already learned this from Master Makarov.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Natsu was durable—he wouldn’t be killed by a few punches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his [Saint Seiya System] had already confirmed Natsu as a key plot character in this world—he’d surely be like the “Five Bronze Warriors,” possessing the “indestructible cockroach” trait; how could he die so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En knew the world he now inhabited was the anime world of *Fairy Tail*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was it—he’d only heard the name *Fairy Tail*; he’d never watched it, completely clueless, with zero foresight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter—he had the [Saint Seiya System]; all he needed to do was train hard. Water comes, I block with earth; I strike with one punch and carve a vast, heavenly path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though he didn’t know the plot or characters, Mo En was certain he’d already connected to the main storyline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the name of the mage guild where he grew up was “Fairy Tail”—could that possibly have nothing to do with the main plot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it: common sense suggests an anime’s title is deeply tied to its core plot—like *Naruto*, *One Piece*, *Bleach*, *Saint Seiya*—so *Fairy Tail* must be the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu’s appearance, along with past quests triggered by Gray and Erza, kept confirming Mo En’s theory: the guild members were all key plot characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Mo En’s watch, Erza reached Natsu’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Natsu! Are Itachi okay? Wake up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza grabbed Natsu’s shoulders and shook him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu, violently shaken, grimaced and struggled to open his eyes—he seemed on the verge of waking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Erza shook him even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted Natsu entirely off the ground and shook him violently; his face turned pale, his body flailing like a ragdoll, limbs swinging wildly in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey hey! Erza! Put Natsu down! Itachi’re just making him faint worse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Erza’s actions, Mo En couldn’t hold back—he shouted to stop her, pressing his forehead in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, is this even saving him? Isn’t she afraid he’s not dead enough?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza obeyed instantly, letting go—Natsu landed with a “thump” on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no sign of Natsu waking, Erza’s clever mind spun again—she decisively raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A palm strike landed—Natsu’s pale cheek bore a clear red handprint; his condition looked even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop! Stop! Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Erza’s move, Mo En rushed forward, grabbing her wrist just in time to prevent another slap that would give Natsu a matching red mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Confirmed—this is a coup de grâce.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En mentally scoffed, but it was just a joke—he knew Erza didn’t mean to harm Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza, who’d only joined the guild a year ago, was also a troubled child, one who’d suffered severe psychological trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last year, when Erza first arrived at the guild, she was even more abnormal than Natsu, who constantly claimed he had a “Dragon Dad”—she was deeply withdrawn, barely speaking to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after going through certain events did Erza gradually lower her guard and become friends with the guild members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En knew that this girl, who outwardly appeared strong, rough, and always wrapped in a hard armor, actually had a very soft heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let go of me, Mo En.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo En held her wrist, Erza struggled to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En released her, but remained alert—she might strike again; poor Natsu couldn’t take any more punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Natsu, Mo En now began to worry too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew his own strength, Erza truly had no sense of restraint!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This poor kid had only joined “Fairy Tail” a couple days ago—don’t let him die now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Mo En wouldn’t know how to explain to Master Makarov. As the guild’s de facto leader of the kids, he had the duty to protect their safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En, what Itachi did is wrong. This was just a sparring match—Natsu is a guild member. Itachi shouldn’t have hit him so hard. He’s a newcomer, not as strong as Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza didn’t strike again; she stood up, hands on her hips, glaring at Mo En, cheeks puffed out like two little buns—clearly displeased with his actions, thinking he’d gone too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Erza finished speaking than Mo En stuck out a finger and poked her cheek—popping the little bun right off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was like poking a hornet's nest—Erza became even angrier. She was seriously discussing a problem with him, yet he was fooling around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down, Erza. Before Itachi came over, Natsu was already about to wake up—didn’t Itachi notice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En gestured for her to calm down, quickly shifting focus back to Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En’s words made Erza pause—she forgot her anger and asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! Natsu was nearly awake! It was your actions afterward that made him like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Erza had calmed and was reflecting, Mo En pressed on, speaking with absolute certainty—settling the matter once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza wasn’t the type to dodge blame; quite the opposite—she had strong responsibility and a strong sense of fairness. Once guided by Mo En, she began to reflect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Did I really mess up? That’s why Natsu hasn’t woken up yet?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza carefully recalled—when she first arrived, Natsu had indeed shown signs of waking, not like this half-dead state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu’s current condition… was it really her fault?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing her mistake, Erza immediately apologized—not just to Natsu, but also for accusing Mo En. She’d been too hasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, under Mo En’s influence, though Erza’s personality remained slightly awkward, she could already admit her mistakes and say “I’m sorry” sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If ‘sorry’ worked, why do we need doctors? Natsu’s barely hanging on—take him to Porlyusica right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En shook his head, ordering Erza to carry Natsu on her back—right now, getting him to a doctor was the priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porlyusica was “Fairy Tail”’s advisor, a female version of “Soul Reaper,” who lived deep in this forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza perked up, hoisted Natsu onto her back, and sprinted after Mo En into the forest’s depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she ran, she kept apologizing—admitting she shouldn’t have hurt Natsu or unjustly blamed Mo En; her face was full of remorse, guilt, and worry for Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En, meanwhile, generously comforted her, saying it wasn’t her fault—she’d only acted out of concern for guild members, not malice. This was her way of integrating into the guild—it deeply moved Erza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I remember right, wasn’t it Mo En who knocked Natsu out? Why does it all seem like Erza’s fault?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cana and Gray, who’d found their clothes, watched this scene, exchanging glances—something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gray! Cana! Hurry up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could figure it out, Mo En’s voice called from ahead—they hurried to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book seeking support! Seeking reads!
