Crossover: In Fairy Tail, with unparalleled comprehension

Page 32

S-rank mages are the guild's ace mages, representing the guild's image. Each S-rank mage is a monster-level powerhouse.

This is a symbol of hard power.

This is similar to the difference between a guild in a game having two super-powerful players and one powerful player.

The stronger the guild, the greater its reputation, and the more proud one becomes within such a guild.

At the same time, the greater the guild's reputation, the more resources the guild will obtain, which is related to the interests of each mage.

As the saying goes, rivals are enemies. There is a lot of competition between mage guilds. When you're out and about, who doesn't want to be looked up to when they hear that they are from the Fairy Tail guild? So everyone wants to work hard to make their guild bigger.

Then, Makarov announced a banquet to celebrate the birth of the new S-class mage.

Upon hearing about the banquet, the guild members became even more excited.

In the blink of an eye, a month is about to pass, and there is less than a day left until the end of the S-level promotion assessment.

Guild members are also discussing it.

"It looks like Laxus's promotion mission failed."

"Yes! S-rank missions are not so easy to complete."

S-rank missions are mission requests that can only be accepted by S-rank mages in the guild, but that does not mean that an S-rank mage can definitely complete them.

Even for S-rank mages, most S-rank missions are life-threatening, and they are generally unwilling to accept them.

Gildarts is the only one in the guild who can do S-rank quests like it's nothing, but Gildarts has a carefree personality and likes to wander around. When he goes out to do quests, you never know when he will come back.

As the sun was about to set, Makarov took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.

To be honest, he didn't actually want to give Laxus the qualification to be promoted to S-class mage this time, because Laxus's personality was too rebellious.

Finally, Gildarts persuaded him, saying that Laxus would grow stronger in the future, and that suppressing him would only cause him to rebel more. Only then did he grant Laxus the qualification to participate.

Lu Li has good character and personality, powerful magic, and unparalleled talent in learning magic.

That's why he set such a difficult advancement test. His purpose was to temper their arrogance and make them understand that there are always people more capable than themselves.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li, this little monster, not only completed the task, but did it exceptionally well. It was then that he realized just how powerful Lu Li was.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that someone could reach this level of strength in just six months.

The sun was about to set; once it set, the assessment period would officially end.

"Did it fail? Well, that's alright."

Even though Laxus is his grandson, he still hopes that Laxus can grow through this test.

Just as the sun was about to set.

Two figures appeared at the entrance of the Fairy Tail guild.

"It's Laxus and Fiend!!"

The two men were covered in wounds, but their eyes were full of energy, and everyone in the guild was watching them.

Laxus raised his fist and shouted excitedly, "I...I completed the S-rank mission! I've been promoted to S-rank mage!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

Everyone in the guild cheered when they heard this.

Although Laxus is somewhat arrogant in the guild, he doesn't casually label Fairy Tail guild members as trash or useless like Mirai does.

On the contrary, Laxus is the grandson of Chairman Makarov and grew up in Fairy Tail from a young age, making him a true member of the elite.

Many people believe that when the future guild leader retires, Laxus will definitely inherit the position.

On the other hand, Laxus also succeeded, and Fairy Tail guild suddenly produced two S-class mages.

This wasn't just any ordinary assessment; it was for a mage who had truly completed an S-rank mission assessment. Such a result was absolutely genuine.

The addition of two more mages to the guild is incredibly exciting news.

Chapter Sixty: Congratulations!

"Great! Laxus! Congratulations on becoming an S-class mage of Fairy Tail!"

"Yes! That's fantastic! I always believed that Laxus could complete the S-rank mission and successfully advance!"

Bislow and Abba Green excitedly ran over. As the end of the assessment drew nearer, the two became increasingly worried and hadn't done any missions for the past month.

Now that I see Laxus has returned unharmed after completing his mission, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Laxus glanced around, not spotting Lu Li and Erza, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It was only during this mission that he realized why his grandfather had always forbade him from taking S-rank missions. He never expected that a mission with a bounty of 1000 million J would be so difficult.

He and Fred searched the ocean for half a month before finally finding the monster's lair deep in the sea.

To prevent the monster from escaping, a lot of time had to be spent setting up spells around the area.

After the spell was set up, the two joined forces to fight the sea monster and finally killed it.

The sea monster's strength in the seawater exceeded the two men's expectations. They had to fight with all their might to defeat it, and both of them suffered more or less injuries.

If the spell wasn't set up properly, this sea monster would definitely have escaped.

This was only an S-rank mission with a bounty of 1000 million J. He didn't think Lu Li and Erza could possibly complete a mission with a bounty of 1500 million J.

Laxus casually asked, feigning nonchalance, "Where are Lu Li and Erza?"

When Pixroth and Abba Grin heard Laxus's question, their smiles faltered slightly, and they were momentarily at a loss for words.

Laxus frowned: "What? Something happened to them? It's all Lu Li's fault for being so reckless and choosing such a difficult mission. He's probably not coming back now."

Suddenly, Lu Li's voice rang out behind Laxus:

"I'm so sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still alive and well."

Laxus turned around and saw Lu Li standing unharmed behind him, but he did not see Erza.

What's going on? Is Erza dead?

Lu Li ignored Laxus and stepped into the guild, saying to Makarov, "Guild Master, I'm back after completing my mission."

Before Makarov could speak, Laxus sarcastically said to Lu Li, "Done? So what if you did complete the mission? The sun has already set, the allotted time for the assessment has ended, and you have failed the assessment to become an S-class mage."

"..."

Laxus's words silenced everyone in the guild, who stared at him with strange looks.

Pixroth and Abba Green quickly said, "Wait... Laxus... it's not what you think!"

Laxus ignored Biggleslow and Abba Grin, and continued to stare at Lu Li, saying, "What's more, you even killed your partner Erza, and you still have the nerve to come back and say you completed the mission?! Lu Li, if you have any shame, get out of the guild right now!"

Just then, Erza's voice rang out: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Erza had just gone to the restroom and when she came back, she saw everyone gathered together.

"Erza?! You're still alive?!"

Laxus's expression changed when he saw Erza.

Erza was a little confused. She had been living a perfectly good life, so what did Laxus mean by saying that?

Laxus and Fiend also looked confused.

At this moment, Abba Green said, "Lu Li... and Erza, they completed their S-rank mission within a week of the start of the assessment, returned to the guild, and were promoted to S-rank mages."

Bislow whispered, "Not only that, Lu Li also took on two other S-rank missions. He should have completed them all by the time he came back today."

Laxus and Fied were completely stunned by what Abba Grin and Bigelow said.

"What?!!"

"This is impossible?!"

Laxus and Fied were incredulous upon hearing this. Having completed an S-class mission, they knew just how dangerous it was.

Their mission only had a reward of 1000 million J, while Lu Li and Erza received a mission with a reward of 1500 million J.

The task will definitely be more difficult.

You said that the two of them completed their mission and returned in less than a week.

Furthermore, Lu Li also completed the other two S-level missions during this period, which is impossible.

That's a life-or-death S-rank mission, not those trash missions on the first floor.

If it weren't Abbagrien and Bigelow who were speaking, they wouldn't have even suspected it.

"Oh, that's good."

Makarov nodded with great satisfaction. Lu Li, that brat, is good at everything except being a bit arrogant. He has only just been promoted to S-rank mage and has already cleared out all the S-rank missions in the guild.

Unlike Gildarts, who rarely returns even once a year after leaving, forcing Gildarts to transfer many missions to other mage guilds.

Lu Li completed so many S-level missions, which not only brought a lot of benefits to the guild, but more importantly, increased his reputation.

It's a simple task that any guild can do.

Only S-rank or higher missions are the standard for judging the strength of a guild.

Most importantly, at the next local guild meeting, he could brag to the other guild leaders again, which was what made him happiest.

"Oh right, I almost forgot."

Lu Li turned around and looked at Laxus, a bright smile spreading across his face. "Congratulations, Laxus! Congratulations on your promotion to S-rank mage."

Chapter Sixty-One: Challenge

Laxus's eyes glazed over, and his face began to contort into a grotesque and distorted expression.

The initial joy and excitement of being promoted to S-class mage vanished without a trace.

At this moment, all that remained in his heart was anger, endless anger.

He recalled what he had said when he accepted the mission. He had told Lu Li that he would be back in a week and that it was fortunate that it wasn't a competitive exam.

But as it turned out, Lu Li completed the S-rank mission in just one week and successfully advanced to S-rank mage.

He barely managed to finish at the last minute before the allotted time was up.

In the same amount of time, Lu Li had already completed three S-level missions, which were even more difficult than the missions he had taken on.

But Lu Li's words of congratulation and his smile seemed to him like mockery.

Crackling sounds!

Dense golden lightning appeared around Laxus's body.

"Laxus!!"

Makarov immediately reprimanded Laxus upon seeing his appearance.

Laxus ignored Makarov.

His gaze was fixed intently on Lu Li: "Lu Li, I want to settle this with you!"

"Laxus, don't be ridiculous!"

Makarov berated Laxus.

"I'm not joking. You and I are both newly promoted S-class mages, so we have to determine who is superior. Don't you think so too?"

"Laxus!"

“Old man, this is a matter between me and Lu Li. Even if you are the president, you have no right to interfere.”

After speaking to Makarov, Laxus turned to Lu Li, his gaze defiant, and said:

"Lu Li, do you dare or not?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "Of course I dare! What's there to be afraid of?"

"Lu Li, even you..."

"Guild Master, we are mages. Since someone has challenged us, if we don't accept the challenge, we will be seen as cowards. Besides, this is just a simple sparring match."

"But……"

Just then, Gildarts' voice rang out from behind Makarov, "Isn't this great, Chairman!"
