"It's you two indeed."

Looking at Mirajane and Erza, Laxus spoke, he moved his hands and feet, although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually quite excited in his heart, after all, this was his first time doing this job, and he was one of the candidates before.

However, Laxus knew very well what to do. After all, he had participated in two assessments. It was just that he had not yet figured out his own S-level standard, so he would strictly follow Gildarts' requirements, or even be a little stricter.

The reason is very simple. Gildarts has set such a high standard for S-class wizards for so long, and it cannot be lowered directly when it comes to him. In a sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of "inheritance".

We have all been stuck like this, so naturally we will continue to be stuck. The suffering that we have experienced will also be suffered by those who come after us!
"Shall we do this one by one?"

Erza was also very decisive. She was ready to fight without saying a word. Anyway, it was impossible to get away with words, so she would talk after the fight.

"Are you two a team?"

Laxus asked with a confused look on his face.

Although Laxus doesn't get involved in the affairs of these children, he still knows the general situation. Erza and Mirajane often fight, just like Gray and Natsu. These two girls shouldn't be in the same group, right?
"of course not!"

As expected, Erza and Mirajane both denied it flatly, and they even took a step away from each other, as if they were afraid of being misunderstood.

"Then come one by one. Only people from the same group can go together."

Laxus spoke, causing Erza and Mirajane to look surprised. So this was the meaning of teaming up? Two people could actually fight together?!

But it makes sense when you think about it. If two people go on a mission together, of course they can participate in the battle together. The S-level wizard assessment they participated in was, in a sense, like a rehearsal for an S-level mission. Didn’t you see that even the enemies they stopped on the road were S-level wizards?
"Then let me go first!"

"Why?! I'll go first!"

Erza and Mirajane started arguing again about who should go on stage first, and it seemed that the two were about to fight over who should go on stage first.

"."

Laxus was speechless for a moment. He began to think in his heart, how did that guy Moon handle the relationship between these people? How did he make these children live in peace?

"Erusa got here first. Erza came first."

After thinking for a while, Laxus still couldn't figure it out. Seeing that Erza and Mirajane were about to fight, Laxus couldn't remain silent any longer, so he spoke and made a decision.

As an examiner, Laxus' words were naturally useful. Although Mirajane still looked dissatisfied, she could only step back a few steps and let Erza in armor fight Laxus.

"Thunder Emperor Armor!"

Without any hesitation, Erza summoned her secret weapon.

"Thunder Emperor's Armor" is an armor with a light green base, lightning patterns, and gold threads all over the body. It has a Chinese-style appearance and also comes with a thunder spear as a weapon.

However, Erza gave up using the lightning gun as a weapon. Because of Moon, Laxus' identity as the "Thunder Dragon Slayer" has long been known to everyone. Therefore, Erza would not be stupid enough to attack Laxus with lightning. That would be charging him. Playing with thunder in front of him is just showing off one's skills.

"Crack!"

Erza still held a long sword as her weapon. She looked serious, and even though she was wearing the armor of the Thunder Emperor, she did not dare to reveal any flaws.

"You actually prepared the equipment in advance!"

Mirajane widened her eyes when she saw the "Thunder Emperor Armor" on Erza. She didn't expect that Erza was so well prepared.

"It's a wizard's job to gather information and prepare in advance."

Erza glanced at Mirajane and spoke.

This made Mirajane turn her head away in anger and no longer look at Erza. Doesn't this mean that she is a fool for not being prepared?
"It's just a futile effort."

Seeing the "Thunder Emperor Armor" on Erza, Laxus smiled contemptuously.

Did these guys really think they could withstand his power with these external objects? It must be said that they underestimated him.

"I'm on it!"

Erza didn't know what Laxus was thinking, but when it came time to strike, she wouldn't hesitate, nor would she back down.

After a loud shout, Erza rushed directly towards Laxus.

"Zizzizi!"

Lightning accumulated in his fists, terrifying magical fluctuations surged through his body, and the expression on Laxus' face became arrogant.

"boom!"

Without a doubt, Erza, who charged forward, was sent flying backward. Her sword missed Laxus; instead, she was struck directly in the abdomen and sent flying like a cannonball. "Crack! Crack! Crack!"

After knocking down three trees in a row, Erza finally stopped and fell to the ground. She staggered and barely managed to stand by stabbing her sword into the ground.

"."

Seeing this sudden scene, Mirajane, who was watching the fight nearby, widened her eyes and looked shocked.

"Is this the power of an S-class wizard?"

At this moment, Erza and Mirajane were thinking almost exactly the same thing.

"Kakaka!"

The "Thunder Emperor's Armor" on Erza's body was already covered with cracks. Laxus shattered this armor that was specifically designed to protect against lightning magic with just one punch. The special defense against lightning was like paper and had no effect at all!
"Just one punch, and the Thunder Emperor's Armor..."

This time, Erza couldn't help but be even more shocked. Of course, she felt that the "Thunder Emperor's Armor" should have played some role, at least she herself did not suffer too much damage, but it could not be ruled out that it was the result of Laxus showing mercy.

"Don't expect to block the power of lightning with external objects."

Looking at the shocked Erza and Mirajane, Laxus spoke slowly with the demeanor of a master. He really didn't think this was anything to be proud of. After all, Erza was four years younger than him.

Given the age gap, isn't it normal for him to be powerless against her? Not everyone is as perverted as Moen.

When they get older, the gap between him and Erza and the others might narrow a little, but now Erza and Mirajane are still children, only fourteen years old. They haven't grown up at all, and no matter how good their talents are, they have not yet been realized.

Laxus will not use his current strength to measure Erza's talent, but will use himself when he was fourteen years old. He does have to admit that Erza's talent is also amazing enough.

"It's not over yet!"

Looking at Laxus, Erza gritted her teeth and spoke. She changed her clothes again, this time, into a cool outfit.

Her hairstyle is still a ponytail, but it is tied up with a small green round tube. Her lower body is a pair of bloomers with a red base and yellow flame patterns. Her upper body is only a white bandage tube top. Erza is barefoot and holds a long sword in her hand that exudes a very dangerous aura.

"Even if the armor isn't very useful, there's no need to completely discard it, right?!"

Mirajane was puzzled when she saw Erza in this outfit. If she got hit again in this situation, it wouldn't be the armor that would be broken!

"Whoo~"

Erza held the long sword in both hands and took a long breath. The magic power in her body burst out instantly and all concentrated on the long sword in her hand. "Pure Heart Clothes" + "Demon Sword Red Cherry", this is her most powerful equipment. Abandoning all defenses, she strengthened the attack power to the extreme and made a desperate attempt!
Erza already knew in her heart that there was a huge gap in strength between her and Laxus. Even if she wore a pile of thick armor, she would only be beaten. The armor would be shattered like the "Thunder Emperor's Armor". Instead of taking a beating cowardly, it would be better to abandon defense and let Laxus see her strength!

Looking at Erza's explosive magic power, Laxus's expression finally changed. He was no longer as nonchalant as before.

Such an Erza is worthy of his attention, which also makes Laxus feel that there are indeed many talented children in the guild, but they are all overshadowed by Moon's brilliance.

Erza swung the long sword, the name of this sword is "Demon Sword Red Sakura". For Erza now, this is a powerful weapon that is almost beyond her control. Without giving her all and unleashing all her magic power, she can't even hold this demon sword.

Therefore, taking out this knife really meant that she had to go all out and strike with all her strength.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Swinging the long sword in her hand, Erza's magic power burst out and she rushed towards Laxus. This power made Mirajane change her expression. She was not like this when Erza fought with her. Facts proved that there was indeed some gap between her and Erza.

"boom!!!"

A loud noise made Moon, who had not yet arrived at the scene, raise his head, and everyone's attention was drawn to the direction where the noise came from.

Now those companions who had lost their way and couldn't find their way now had a target. The lightning and thunder over there showed that Laxus was fighting, so Gray immediately turned around and rushed over.

As for Moon, he was almost there, because he had sent crows to lock onto Laxus's location early on, so naturally he easily brought Kana and Joey along with him.

Speaking of which, what I saw and heard on Tianlang Island along the way was quite interesting.

Tianlang Island is indeed a "paradise"-like place. The natural environment here is quite ancient. There are many strange creatures living on the island. Some are very huge and look abnormal at first glance. Some can even talk.

The strange creatures seen along the way made the legend that "fairies once lived on this island" seem a little credible. After all, these talking animals could also be called "fairies" in Moon's impression.

Of course, the "fairies" that Moon was talking about were obviously different from the "fairies" in this world.

When Moon arrived with Cana and Joey, the battle was over. Laxus was unharmed, while Erza had consumed too much magic power and lost her combat ability. In the end, she was unable to hurt Laxus, who had transformed into lightning.
