Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 206 We've All Reached the Age of Growing Up (Please Subscribe!)
"Bring those two out."

Looking at Natsu and Gray lying motionless in the arena, Moen shook his head.

Once these two start fighting, if there's nothing else going on, they'll fight until one of them is completely immobilized; it's always been like that.

Three years ago, when Natsu had just joined Fairy Tail, he was basically the one who lost every time, and Gray was always the one who could stand up in the end.

However, Natsu's strength has gradually caught up with Gray's. The two have been fighting for so long that they are both unconscious in the arena, and neither of them looks like they can stand up again.

Joey entered the arena, carrying one in each hand as he came out. He had a sour expression on his face, looking like he was disappointed in his son.

"This time it's a lose-lose situation! Gray's not in good form! He was winning before!"

Joey complained that he had bet 1,000 J that Gray would win, thinking it was a sure thing, but this was the result.

"I didn't win either. Natsu, he really couldn't do it after all?"

Moen chimed in with a complaint, explaining that he and Joey had made a bet: he bet Natsu would win, and Joey bet Gray would win, but Natsu and Gray ended up "dying together."

Joey thought Gray hadn't performed well, but actually Gray had performed exceptionally well; otherwise, the result would have been exactly as Moen had predicted.

Moen had witnessed Natsu and Gray's growth firsthand, and he was confident that Natsu could win.

Natsu has indeed grown very quickly these days, at least faster than Gray. In Moen's view, it seems inevitable that Natsu's fighting power will gradually surpass Gray's.

It must be admitted that "Dragon Slayer Magic" still has some advantages compared to Gray's "Ice-Make Magic".

This kind of magic, which can gradually transform a person's physique into that of a dragon, was created to fight against dragons, and its potential is indeed higher.

In comparison, ice-shaped magic is rather ordinary, as shape magic is a relatively common type of magic.

However, Gray never slacked off and continued to train diligently, managing to catch up with Natsu's rate of improvement in strength, instead of being overtaken by Natsu.

"This boy"

Seeing Gray also unconscious, Moen was quite shocked. Gray had given him a pleasant surprise.

In terms of background and magic, Gray is not particularly special. His magic did not awaken naturally like Erza's or Mirajane's; it was learned later. The type of magic he learned was not as special as Dragon Slayer Magic.

However, with such a group of magical geniuses around him, Gray has always been able to keep up with the top tier and compete with these guys with all sorts of strange backgrounds and talents, which is truly admirable.

Gray's talent is certainly not bad, but he has put in much more effort than others to keep up with the top tier.

The only thing that makes Gray special is that his master is a powerful mage comparable to the Ten Wizard Saints. However, his master only led him into the world and did not teach him for a long time. Gray's current strength is indeed due to his own efforts.

'It's gotten to the point where I'm actually considering fulfilling Gray's future wish and teaching him the Diamond Dust Fist. Unfortunately, the title of "Master" holds too special a place in his heart.'
Moen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, if he were to actually teach Gray the "Diamond Dust" technique and also grant Gray the qualification to sense Cygnus, then at least for the short term, Natsu would only be able to take a beating, and the balance of power between the two would be completely broken.

Although Natsu was slightly weaker than Gray before, the difference was very small. Now he has improved rapidly and almost surpassed Gray. If he is completely suppressed by Gray again, Natsu will probably be so discouraged that he will doubt his life.

Speaking of which, Natsu's rapid increase in strength is largely thanks to "Big Fire" Ubume. This guy's fire control skills are superb, which have given Natsu a lot of help, and even the other mages in the guild who use "fire magic" have become much stronger.

It has to be said that Rabbit Maru really has a talent for being a magic teacher. His fire magic class in the guild has received rave reviews, and many children come to learn from him from scratch. His fire magic class will probably provide the guild with a steady stream of excellent fire magic mages in the future.

This time, Rabbit Maru also moved to the "Fairy House". He didn't take out a loan. Running magic classes had saved him a lot of money, which was enough to pay for building the house.

"Does anyone else want to try out the arena?"

Moen shook his head, dismissing those thoughts, and asked the crowd with a smile.

They looked at each other and shook their heads. Unlike Natsu and Gray, who were always full of energy and could start a fight at any moment, they needed to prepare before they could cause trouble.

Gajeel was eager to try, but unfortunately, the two opponents he wanted to choose were already unconscious. Iron Dragon was a little annoyed; he should have stepped in earlier.

"How about I play with you?"

Seeing Gajeel's remorseful look, Moen spoke to him with a smile on his face.

"Haha, no need, I'm not feeling well today."

Gajeel froze, immediately clutching his stomach and refusing. The Iron Dragon, who had just been excited by watching Natsu and Gray's duel, now looked completely weak.

"."

Moen's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes, ignoring the guy's pretense. He knew that Gajeel was terrified of him; this was the consequence of being pricked by the "needle." Who told this guy to cause trouble at Fairy Tail before?

"Erza! Let's fight!"

Gajeel hesitated, but excited voices came from the girl's side.

Upon hearing this, it was obvious who it was. Moen turned his head and saw Mirajane sending a challenge to Erza with a look of fighting spirit.

"No, I need to rest for the next couple of days."

Erza shook her head with a straight face, refusing directly.

Mirajane was clearly taken aback when she heard Erza say that.

"Okay."

To Moen's surprise, Mirajane seemed to have thought of something and didn't press the matter further, accepting the situation without hesitation.

"Mira, this isn't like you at all. You're giving up so easily?"

Moen asked curiously. Usually, when Mirajane wanted to spar with Erza, she would do anything to provoke her and would never give up so easily. Today, it was truly like the sun had risen in the west.

When Moen asked her question, Miran glared at him, seemingly thinking he shouldn't have asked.

"?"

Moen blinked, not understanding what Mirajane's eyes were trying to convey. "Don't meddle in girls' affairs. I don't want to fight her today; even if I win, it wouldn't be a fair fight."

Seeing that Moen didn't seem to understand, Mirajane said in an annoyed tone.

"It's an unfair victory."

Moen pondered the words for a moment and then understood. It was probably Erza's relatives who had come, and it was not advisable to make any big moves in the next few days.

"turn out to be."

Moen hesitated, then swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He originally wanted to say, "So Erza can be affected by this too?", but then he felt that such a statement would be too hurtful, after all, Erza is a girl.

Erza looked serious and troubled. She was actually a little tempted to release some stress in the arena where she didn't have to worry about causing any damage to the surroundings.

But she didn't want to fight Mirajane without being able to go all out; it wouldn't be good if Mirajane actually won.

Moen glanced at Erza, then at Mirajane, his expression strange.

The reason he had that thought was because he hadn't realized that Erza and Mirajane had this kind of trouble before.

When this topic came up today, Mo En suddenly realized that the two girls beside him were no longer children.

The three of them are the same age, and they will all turn fifteen after their birthdays this year.

Logically speaking, Erza and Mirajane should have started their periods long ago, but he hadn't noticed that they were both a few days late each month. Was he just too oblivious?

Moen reflected on himself and realized that he had indeed spent a lot of time outside in the past two years. Not to mention the various missions, the "Southern Railway Incident" and the "Nord Forest Beast Tide Incident" alone had taken him several months to spend outside.

Now that I have some free time, I can see that everyone has grown up quite a bit. Erza and Mirajane have both blossomed into beautiful young women and no longer look like children. Well, Erza doesn't look like one anymore. It's a bit of a shame about Mirajane; she probably developed later.

It wasn't just Erza and Mirajane who changed; the other children changed too. The boys and girls were gradually entering puberty, reaching an age where they change every year. In the next few years, everyone will grow up rapidly.

What rude thing are you thinking about?

As Moen was lost in thought, Mirajane moved closer to him, squinting at him. She felt that Moen was talking badly about her, especially since he had just glanced at her with pity in his eyes, which made her feel very ashamed and annoyed.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Since no one wants to experience it, let's go."

When Mira Jane pressed her cheek against him and questioned him, Moen quickly smiled and changed the subject.

Some things are better left unsaid. If you were to say them out loud, Mirajane would definitely get furious. She's reached the age where she cares about her figure, and the "tomboy" and "flat-chested woman" that Erza talks about are getting more and more damaging to her.

"Humph!"

Mirajane put her hands on her hips and snorted, but didn't press the matter further. She looked down and immediately saw her entire feet, with nothing in between, which made her feel a little deflated. Although she usually pretended to be indifferent, she was actually a little bothered by it.

Mirajane has recently been studying recipes. Although she started a little late, she is confident that she can catch up!
Seeing Moen walking ahead, preparing to lead everyone to explore other parts of the "Fairy House," Mirajane wrinkled her nose and quickly followed.

After touring the entire "Fairy House," everyone dispersed and went home. The girls who didn't live there followed Moen to his new home.

Moen's new house was built right next to Laxus's house. Laxus wasn't home, and knowing he couldn't stop the construction of the "Fairy House," he simply went out to do quests, hoping to avoid seeing it and get used to it once it was finished.

"Moen's house is huge."

Standing in front of Moen's house, Wendy opened her mouth and uttered a sigh.

The children entering puberty obviously do not include Wendy. This child is only eight years old this year, still has a cute appearance, and is not much taller than the "white cat" Charlotte standing next to her.

“Moeng doesn’t need a loan, so of course the house he builds will be bigger since he spends more money.”

Kana, standing nearby, said that she knew quite a bit about the situation here.

As they walked from the entrance of the "Fairy House," the houses they saw were all different in style. The "Fairy House" did not have a uniform house design. If they wanted to build a bigger house, they could take out a larger loan; if they didn't need such a big house, they could take out a smaller loan. Anyway, they could expand later.

"It doesn't seem to be very big."

Looking at the house in front of her, Lucy muttered a complaint under her breath, which made her senior sister Emerald, who was standing next to her, nod in agreement.

“Master Moen deserves a bigger house. I think it would be nice to turn the whole forest into a big manor.”

Emerald spoke earnestly to Lucy in a low voice, and Lucy nodded in agreement. This princess and the daughter of a wealthy man clearly had different perceptions of "size".

"Welcome everyone to my home."

Moen opened the door and welcomed everyone in with a smile. His house was indeed quite large, much larger than Mira's house, and had several more guest rooms. Moen had prepared these guest rooms for everyone to stay overnight, taking into account his popularity.

"Chef Mira, I'm counting on you for the first meal in our new home!"

After everyone came in, Moen settled them in the living room and then pulled Mirajane into the kitchen.

Holding up an apron, Moen bowed to Mirajane, respectfully presenting it to her as a sign of respect for her culinary skills.

"Hmph, I'm quite satisfied with your attitude."

Looking at the extremely respectful Moen, Mirajane couldn't help but let out a soft hum. She put her hands on her hips and tried hard to suppress her laughter.

"give it to me."

Mirajane reached out and took the apron, then said earnestly, "Since Moen has asked me to do this, I definitely have to show off my cooking skills."

"Thank you very much! I'll help you out."

Moen smiled and got up, watching Mira tie on her apron and volunteer to stay and help with the cooking. Although his cooking skills were only at a basic level, he was still capable of being a kitchen helper.
