Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

Natsu's body arced through the air before plunging directly into the sea.

"Lucy!" Everyone turned around to rescue her.

'Swish, swish, swish'

The four figures moved with exceptional speed.

It was Habi, Charlo, Lili, and Speed.

They are, after all, beings beyond human reach, cats capable of using magic in this world.

"Big monster, I'm here!" Speed ​​was the fastest, flying around the monster's head, making it dizzy and disoriented.

"go!"

Riki, the strongest of the group, grabbed Lucy and rescued her.

Meanwhile, Happy and Charlo managed to escape with the little devil.

"What do we do now? Keep running?" Kana asked.

"It's okay, Kana, no matter what happens, Daddy will protect you." Gildarts quickly went over to fawn over her.

"Ugh, don't come near me." Cana was clearly happy, but she pushed Gildarts away with a haughty air.

"Waaah!" Gildarts approached the guild master with a pitiful expression. "Guild master, what should I do?"

“That’s how kids are at this age,” Makarov said, glancing at Laxus.

Laxus: "."

"But you enjoyed Laxus's adorable moments, while I never got to enjoy Cana's cuteness," Gildarts said, his face full of resentment.

“Isn’t that what you deserved?” Yefrit said.

"."

"Shut up." Laxus was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a cold and arrogant man now, and the cute little boy he used to be was considered a black mark on his past.

"Laxus is shy," Lisanna said, covering her mouth with a laugh.

Laxus promptly changed the subject: "Yeflit, do you have an idea?"

“We’ll have to let either Ikaruga or Erza try,” Yefrit said, slowly drawing her longsword Hani. “If magic doesn’t work, then swordsmanship is the only option.”

"I'll do it," the turtledove said, its eyes lighting up.

Her sword had already broken when she slew the black dragon.

Against that kind of enemy, no matter how strong your swordsmanship is, it's useless. If you can't cut down the black dragon, all you can do is break your sword.

Fortunately, the turtledove's knife will no longer break!

She took Hani's sword and gently stroked the blade. As a master swordsman, she knew the moment she held it that this sword was arguably the best in the world.

She can unleash her full power.

"Moonless Flow—"

The dove took a deep breath and fixed its gaze on the monster in front of it.

"Yaksha flashes through the sky!"

'Swish, swish, swish'

The sword flashed.

The monster was immediately chopped into edible meat.

"Amazing!" Natsu exclaimed. "Watch this!"

Then he opened his mouth, intending to roast the monster and eat it.

"."

Nothing at all.

'Pat-pat-pat'

There was a knocking sound.

Looking back, I saw Gajeel squatting on the ground, tapping on a stone.

Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Gajeel held a stone in each hand and said, "These two stones can start a fire."

"Gajeel, you're reliable!" Yefrit gave a thumbs up.

“…” Natsu turned his head and snorted softly.

"Alright, Natsu." Lucy smiled and ruffled his hair.

“Speaking of which, isn’t the key right now this demon?” Erza said.

Everyone looked at the little devil.

Startled by the attention of everyone, the little devil hid behind Happy.

"Well, um," the little devil said timidly, "I'm not tasty. I'm small and skinny."

“Nobody wants to eat you,” Lucy said, crouching down. “Are you a demon?”

"Mm." The little devil nodded.

This little devil is quite cute; his behavior and speech are just like a little girl's.

"Where do you live? Let us take you home."

Although she was a demon, no one had the heart to bully such a little devil. Instead, they felt it was dangerous to let such a young child run around everywhere.

Who would have thought that the little devil would burst into tears as soon as he heard the word "home" and run away?

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

“It seems there are some difficulties,” Erza said.

“Harpy, go with her, just in case she encounters any danger,” Yefrit said.

"Huh? I'm so hungry." Happy was a little reluctant, watching Gajeel and Gray squatting over there, trying to start a fire.

“It’s still a while before it’s done baking,” Yefrit said. “Right now, only you few cats can use magic. If you don’t go, who will?”

"No, there's more," Harby was about to say when Yefri pulled him close and whispered in his ear, "Idiot, do you want Rili and Speed ​​to impress Charlotte?"

"Oh my god!" Happy immediately realized what was happening and chased after them.

Yefried felt his clothes being tugged, and he turned to look at the person who had pulled them.

Mirajane smiled at him.

"What's wrong, Miss Mirajane?" Yefrit asked gently.

“It’s nothing,” Mirajane shook her head and said, “I just feel a little pain in my foot, maybe I twisted it while running just now.”

“Shall I take a look?” Yefrit said.

“That’s not a good idea,” Mirajane said with a laugh, pushing him away.

Lisanna then leaned closer and said, "Wanting to see girls' feet or something? Yefried is such a jerk."

"..." Yefrit looked at the two girls who were covering their mouths and laughing. Had he been tricked?

Lisanna helped Mirajane to the side.

Yefrit turned around and found the men surrounding Gajeel, looking on with longing eyes.

'patta'

'Tap,' Gajeel tapped tirelessly.

"Will it work?" Yefrit asked.

“It will definitely work!” Gajeel said confidently.

“It sparked,” Gray confirmed.

"How about we try starting a fire by friction?" Laxus suggested earnestly, stroking his chin.

“Ah—I’ve seen it in a magazine. It’s supposed to be a bow that you pull back and forth!” Elfman said.

"Speaking of which," Levy said, somewhat puzzled, "it's just about starting a fire, why are they all crowding around?"

Apart from the president, Makarov, who was chatting with Mavis and Gildarts, and the other boys, including Rili and Speed, who were busy watching the fire being started, all the other boys had gone to watch.

“Boys are like that,” Abba Greene said. “They’re always very interested in things that don’t make sense.”

“But Erza,” Lucy said, pointing to the only girl in the group.

With her red hair, Erza watched with great interest.

“Erza is an exception,” Abba Grin said with certainty.

"It's on fire!" Bigusro suddenly shouted.

"Oh ho—oh ho—"

The boys got excited and gathered around the small fire, making sounds like gorillas as they circled it.

It looks like they're performing some kind of ancient ritual.

"What are you doing now?" the turtledove asked.

"..." Abagarin looked at Elfman, who was excitedly shouting, "Gajeel is a man!" and then pounding his chest like a gorilla. Several furrows appeared on Abagarin's forehead. She huffed, "Who knows, you bunch of idiots!"

"Ah—" Suddenly, Lucy let out a cry of pain, then covered her face.

Natsu, with his bowed legs like a crab, stood with his hands on his hips, hopping from side to side while yelling "Oho!", looking extremely comical.

"emmm"

The girls fell silent.

and so--

It's just lighting a fire, what's all the excitement about, this bunch of people!

"So—" Laxus asked, "Does starting a fire by friction actually work?"

“Why don’t we just try it and see?” Gray said.
