"A-Aye!" 2x
Natsu and Happy subconsciously answered as they were completely frightened by Erza's aura. Their childhood was filled with bitterness, especially when Erza often beat them mercilessly. Well, it was also their fault, though.
"Happy, come here."
As expected, Kira also came, but unlike Erza, who landed in such a brutish and dangerous style, Kira flapped his angel's wings like a real angel.
"KIRAAAA!"
Happy cried as he quickly came to Kira's side, as he knew that it was the safest.
"It's Natsu's fault! He forced me to take the S-Class quest on the 2nd floor!"
"HAPPY!!!!"
As Happy betrayed him without hesitation, Natsu couldn't help but cry out.
Kira was a little helpless, but as for Natsu or Gray, he didn't intend to help them since he knew that they would face Erza's anger. At the same time, he also felt a bit annoyed at them, considering they were the ones who messed up his plan with Mirajane and almost caused him to make another mistake with Erza.
Still, he couldn't help but observe all of the mages in the surroundings, thinking that they had quite interesting magic. Except for the Dragon Slayer Magics, he had mastered most of the magics on the Fairy Tail, so he felt that it would be good to visit another guild to see their powerful mages, and learned them with his "Imperial Privilege" skill.
While one of the mages had a similar magic to Gray, the Ice Make Magic, the other four had an interesting magic, especially the one that was hidden.
"Erza! Kira! It's good that you two are here! Help us to stop them!"
Unlike Natsu and Happy, who were panicked, Gray thought with Erza and Kira that no one could stop them, but—
"No."
Erza's expression didn't change and was as fierce as ever, even though she faced her comrade whom she had known from childhood. "We are here to bring all of you back. You have broken the rules and betrayed Master! Don't ever think that you can get away from it! Even if I have to beat all of you here, I will force you to go back!"
"Erza!"
Gray's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Don't you know what they plan?! They plan to release the demon, Deliora! The disaster that had gone on a rampage and destroyed many cities in the past! They will also kill all the villagers!"
"So what?" Even so, Erza was as cold as ever. "You can leave all of those problems to other mages who will take the job. I don't care about the quest. You three have to go back now."
Her answer might be cold, yet even so, it was normal for her to react that way, especially when many things in this world were harmed, whether it was in other countries, villages, or many other places.
Yet, why didn't Gray help them and only help this place?
In Erza's heart, she only cared about the guild, the one that had given her hope and saved her, the place that was told to her by a certain someone in the past.
Fairy Tail was her home, and she would do anything to protect it!
"ERZAAAA!!!"
Outside of his expectation, Erza's answer was so cold that it made Gray fill with rage!
Still, when they fought, the enemies also started to relax their guards since, unlike Gray and Natsu, the presence of Kira and Erza made them feel nervous and a bit of fear.
Seraph and Titania.
Titania aside, as they knew well what kind of power this woman had, they felt it even if she didn't face them. Kira also exuded this mysterious and regalness as if he were an emperor.
Moreover, with Kira's feats that made him appear in the newspaper, they became tense as they knew that they had faced a fearsome opponent.
Appearance.
When people appeared better, it would make people think that they were strong or had to be respected. This was also the reason why those wealthy people often wore a luxury watch, a tailored suit, and all other things that showed their status.
The battle wasn't just about using fists, but also affecting the minds of their opponents.
If they could defeat their opponents by dressing better than others instead of wasting their time, it was all good, right?
Unfortunately, Erza and Gray started to fight, which made their intimidation less powerful. Being ignored, the masked man, who had revealed his mask, started to get angry and used his magic directly to attack the two!
"Ice Make: Dragon!"
As a magic circle appeared, a gigantic ice dragon emerged and was about to smash its immense body into the two!
Ice Make Magic.
It was a powerful magic that could shape ice into any shape, which could be used to attack the enemy.
This might appear like simple magic, but ice was a powerful element, as not only was it cold, which could freeze the enemy, but it was also. At the same time, due to its hardness, it could create powerful damage, and depending on the shape of the ice, it could give damage similar to a blunt weapon or even a sharp weapon.
Lyon Vastia was Gray's childhood friend, and the two studied under the same teacher. Yes, he was the one behind this incident and the one who wanted to melt the ice that had trapped and defeated the legendary demon, Delioras.
This was also the reason why Lyon's magic was Ice Make Magic.
However, unlike Gray, who shaped his ice into a weapon shape, which had a static shape, Lyon's Ice Make Magic had a shape of various beasts that appeared in reality and myth, and unlike Gray, whose ice wasn't moving and was just static, his ice was dynamic and could move on its own, which was life-like and more powerful!
This is what Lyon believed, so even if Erza came, so what?
How dare they ignore him?!
Unlike before, Lyon wasn't weak, and he had become one of the strongest mages!
They would pay for their insolence with their lives!
Naturally, Erza and Gray, who were unprepared, were startled as they never expected that someone would attack them all of a sudden.
The gigantic ice dragon moved like a real dragon, opened its sharp and immense jaws, ready to swallow them!
"ERZA! GRAY!"
But—
"Ice Make Wall."
A fortress-like wall that exuded a chillness of the ice suddenly emerged from the ground, stopping the path of the ice dragon.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!
Kira, who stood nearby, used a similar magic to protect Erza and Gray, as he sighed helplessly, wondering why he was the one who always took care of the mess.
Yet, whether it was Gray, Lyon, or the masked man behind them, they were all startled by the magic that was used by Kira!
"Ice Make Magic!" 3x
"...I am sorry, Kira."
Erza showed an awkward expression since she knew well that even though she was the one who told him that she would protect him, in the end, he was the one who protected her.
"It's fine. You don't have to worry."
However, when Gray was about to say something, Kira directly used his pheromone manipulation to make him sleep.
"I have made him fall asleep. You can bring him back now, Erza."
"Good."
Erza didn't care about the method since what she cared about was only bringing Gray, Natsu, and Happy back.
"Ah, we will go back!" 2x
Meanwhile, being stared at by Kira and Erza at the same time, Natsu and Happy quickly reacted and became obedient.
Yet—
"You all don't think that you can just leave after you have messed up everything, right?"
As his ice dragon was stopped by the ice wall, Lyon stared at Kira with a complex expression and annoyance. "You three! Don't be in a daze! Let's attack them together!"
The three mages, who were brought by Lyon, hesitated, but in the end, they followed Lyon's words.
Still, Lyon's words made Erza angry, and she was ready to bash them, beating them silly until—
"Can you let me handle them, Erza?" Kira asked.
"Are you sure?" Erza asked with worry.
"I want to use this chance to train, and they are good training partners."
"You are right."
Lyon and the other three might appear powerful, but in the eyes of Kira and Erza, their power wasn't enough to reach the S-Class mage, so it was natural that they would be a perfect training target for Kira to become stronger.
"I will make you regret your words."
Yet, being underestimated and treated like a training partner, how could Lyon and his group feel happy?
Still, Kira ignored their reaction and just directly appeared in front of the only female mage in the group with the movement technique that he learned from the Vanish Brothers, Jet's High Speed Magic, and Erigor's Wind Magic.
"Eh?"
All of a sudden, Kira appeared in front of her, and before she could even react—
"Sleep."
A sweet, comfortable scent made her feel sleepy before she fell onto Kira's arms.
"Sherry!" 3x
Looking at the cute woman with a unique fashion sense on his arm, Kira then looked at the three and thought that it would be a good training.
Still—
"H-Happy, why did Erza become so angry?"
"I-I am not sure, Natsu..."
Natsu and Happy were scared since Erza, who was by their side, appeared like a demon at this moment.
