Forest Barugan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebby immediately recognized the green-furred, purple-bodied monsters before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re after the egg! They love eating eggs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebby grew tense and shouted to Natsu, who was clutching the egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Egg! It’s the egg! Give it to us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebby didn’t need to warn them—the moment the Forest Barugan spotted the egg in Natsu’s arms, they began roaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were a relatively intelligent magical beast species capable of speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These green-furred monkey monsters had been unusually active lately in the eastern forests of Magnolia; many had encountered them. Outside of mating season, Forest Barugan weren’t particularly dangerous and could easily be driven off with a few eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during mating season, they became dangerous—women were advised not to enter the eastern forests at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was not mating season—the group of pretty girls around them were completely ignored; their eyes fixed only on the egg Natsu held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! We’re not giving it to Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu bared his teeth, glaring fiercely at the monkeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he clutched the egg and ran behind Mo En and Erza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En, Erza, watch the egg—I’ll drive them off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu set the egg down, rolled up his sleeves, and charged at the monkeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re joining too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray, unwilling to be outdone, followed Natsu as he rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t even have the egg—why should I give it to these monkeys?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elfman muttered under his breath but charged in as well; facing enemies, the boys were all bravely fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cana, Rebby, and Lisanna stood behind, all eager to join—they were mages, after all; how could they fear a few monkeys?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu, Gray, and Elfman were all knocked to the ground, beaten senseless by the five monkey monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use magic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this absurd scene, Mo En couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose—those three fools had rushed in swinging fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forest Barugan relied entirely on brute strength; even a single muscle on their bodies was bigger than these children’s heads. Without using magic, pure physical combat gave mages no advantage—it was no surprise they got beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they didn’t use magic either!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu rubbed his swollen head, glaring defiantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray got up too. He didn’t understand why Natsu refused to use magic, but if Natsu wouldn’t, neither would he.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the three, only Elfman remained on the ground, lying dazed with stars in his eyes, completely incapacitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Gray and Natsu, long subjected to Mo En and Erza’s discipline, had exceptional durability—Elfman simply couldn’t compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother Elfman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisanna rushed over, worried, and helped him up, unsure what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Egg! And pretty girls!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how weak the children were, the Forest Barugan grew even bolder, pounding their chests and howling wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Forest Barugan leapt high, landing right in front of Lisanna and Elfman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes sparkled with hearts as it reached out a massive purple hand toward Lisanna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lisanna!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elfman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu and the others were startled, rushing to help—but the other monkeys surged forward, blocking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic surged in all directions, falling like snowflakes; terrifying freezing winds enveloped the monkey monster, coating it in ice until it became a frozen statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Diamond. Star Fist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the howling wind, all the Forest Barugan were frozen solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“T-t-t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisanna, Natsu, and Elfman all shivered violently; even Elfman, who had been half-unconscious, was jolted awake by the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible! Mo En!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray felt little effect himself. He reached out and touched one of the frozen monkeys—it shattered instantly into a pile of icy fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray stared, eyes wide—not with fear, but with envy. He longed to master such terrifying freezing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff! Huff! Huff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu kept breathing fire, rubbing his body to warm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En stepped beside Lisanna and swept his hand sharply—the remaining frost dissipated, warming Lisanna and Elfman slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisanna and Elfman looked up at Mo En’s face and saw his expression was not pleasant—indeed, it was icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t ever do that again. If Itachi’d truly gotten hurt playing around, could Itachi handle it? Even a lion fights a rabbit with full strength. When facing an enemy, strike with everything Itachi’ve got—understood?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Natsu, Gray, and Elfman, Mo En spoke seriously, his tone unusually stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Mo En. I’ll remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray responded first—he knew better; he’d only been acting foolishly because of Natsu’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, Mo En. I won’t do it again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elfman, still shivering from the cold, bowed his head in shame as he apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he had disappointed Mo En—his slow progress in magic learning already filled him with shame, and now this—his humiliation was so deep he wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu stared thoughtfully, as if grasping something—when the monkey monster attacked Lisanna and Elfman, his anxiety had given him a new insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En, I think I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu nodded seriously to Mo En—this time, he truly understood, even beginning to grasp the meaning behind Mo En’s earlier words about the value of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu was a straightforward soul—he knew what he knew, and didn’t pretend to know what he didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Let’s head back to the guild. I recall there’s a mission to eliminate Forest Barugan—the reward can go toward a group meal. Let’s all go back and eat well to relax.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the children’s thoughtful responses, Mo En clapped his hands with a smile, announcing good news—everyone cheered happily. His teaching style always followed a hard lesson with a reward—a key reason he won their loyalty; he never withheld praise or rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",985,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","35d5aeca801357e785257051986f6ab5bb842c1f5c50f3baee52eccca64610f3","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-77","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-75",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
