Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

Chabadi roared, "The winner is Natsu Dragneel!"

"Sabertooth's twin dragons used their ultimate combined attack, but were defeated by Natsu with a single punch!"

"This shows that even Dragon Slayer Mages have their limitations!"

The whole stadium was cheering.

Natsu gave the camera a bright smile.

On the Saberbite Tiger's side.

President Germain couldn't control the leakage of his magic, which silenced everyone, leaving them speechless.

"I really didn't expect those two guys to go to such lengths and still lose." Minerva shook her head, her expression not very pleasant.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Stinger and Roger did try their best, but they still couldn't win, and the gap was so big. What could they do?

“Go and bring them both back,” Minerva said.

"Yes!"

Below the pit.

Stinger and Roger gradually regained consciousness.

“Stinger. Have we been too arrogant?” Roger said dejectedly.

“Yes,” Stinger said, “No wonder he’s Nazgo.”

For some reason, after being punched by Natsu, he rediscovered his original intentions and even changed how he addressed people.

Roger said, "Seven years ago, Mr. Gajeel and Mr. Natsu fought to a near draw, with Mr. Natsu only slightly stronger than Mr. Gajeel. But today, fighting Mr. Gajeel, I have absolutely no way of knowing his limits if Mr. Gajeel is still as strong as Mr. Natsu."

Rogue's voice held a hint of despair: "And how powerful is Laxus, the strongest Dragon Slayer, whom even Natsu, Gajeel, and Gray couldn't defeat together?"

Stinger said, "We really are frogs in a well. Maybe, among all the Dragon Slayer Mages, we're only slightly stronger than the Celestial Dragons."

Rogge: "." This is really discouraging. He's been so arrogant for so many years, and now he's second or third to last.

Thinking about all the boasts I've made makes me anxious.

The celebrations continued at the tavern that night.

"What are you doing here?"

Marcao opened the door and looked at the two people in the doorway with a wary expression.

Standing at the door at that moment were Stinger and Roger, wrapped up like mummies.

“We’re just here to visit Mr. Natsu, Mr. Gajeel, and Mr. Laxus,” Roger said.

Natsu's punch woke them up.

They decided to humbly ask questions and, incidentally, catch up with their idols.

"Let them in," Laxus said calmly.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Laxus,” Stinger said quickly.

They were both a little intimidated by this person.

I was so arrogant before, but now I realize how big the gap is between me and others.

“You two, how dare you come here? Wakaba, won’t your guild leader reprimand you?” Wakaba asked.

“We came straight here after we were cured,” Stinger said.

"What's the matter?" Laxus asked.

"What does it matter?" Natsu put his arms around their necks and said, "Since we're here, let's drink!"

As he spoke, he poured the wine into Stinger's mouth.

"Wait, Nazgo. It's me."

Before long, Stinger became confused.

Roger was also surrounded by everyone.

The members of Fairy Tail are very enthusiastic.

Despite some misunderstandings beforehand—especially when the two talked about killing a dragon.

However, after fighting the two, Natsu had a gut feeling that this was not the case. Although he did not know why the two were lying, as long as they did not really have the intention to kill, there was no need to dig deeper.

Moreover—Yeflit also said that if anyone is willing, they can be poached from these two talented individuals.

Therefore, everyone was able to put aside past grievances.

“Yukino.” Stinger looked at the Fairy Tail crest on Yukino’s chest, his expression complicated. Finally, he lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry.”

“Stinger is not wrong.” Yukino smiled and shook her head. “It’s all in the past. Besides, I am a Fairy Tail mage now. The pain Sabertooth left me is not even a fraction of the joy and happiness this guild has given me. There’s no need to keep such things in mind.”

“That’s good that you think that way,” Stinger said. Is the pain inflicted by the Saber-Biting Tiger less than a fraction of the joy and happiness here?

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the tavern and the enthusiastic people, he gradually felt a sense of longing and envy.

I wish he were one of them.

Stinger and Roger stayed at the tavern until very late before going home.

It was a very enjoyable experience, the only regret being that I didn't get to see Gajeel.

Little did they know that after they left, Gajeel returned to the tavern with a serious expression.

"You guys really do things your own way."

I just got back to the guild.

The two then saw Germain's gloomy face.

The smell of alcohol on him dissipated by about 70-80% in an instant.

The two stood there, stunned, sweating profusely.

Similar to the scene when Yukino suffered, Germain sat in a high position while everyone else held a meeting in the council chamber.

“Stinger…Roger,” Germain said grimly, “Where did you go?”

"..." After a moment's hesitation, Stinger gritted his teeth and said, "Fairy Tail Guild."

Why go?

“I want to learn how to become stronger,” Roger replied. He wouldn’t let his best friend shoulder the burden alone.

"Hmph!" Germain snorted angrily, "You've completely disgraced the Saberbite Tigers!"

"You guys always act like you look down on everyone, but now you've lost so humiliatingly, getting knocked out with just one punch."

"Not only that, but after receiving treatment, you still dared to secretly go to them. Aren't you ashamed of our guild enough already!"

The two remained silent.

"Speak!" Germain roared.

He was absolutely furious.

It's fine to lose, but the gap in skill is so large that anyone with eyes can see it.

But Stinger and Rogue actually dared to go to Fairy Tail and even study to become stronger!

What is this behavior?

In his view, it was a slap in the face to him and his guild!

To outsiders, this just looks like you, Germain, don't know how to teach!

Your sword-biting tiger cannot make people stronger!

This is questioning his ability as president and threatening his absolute authority!

and so--

He had been beaten up by Natsu before, so he understood how strong Natsu was. He had originally planned not to pursue the matter of the two's defeat, but the two went to find Natsu and the others right after they finished bandaging up, which directly triggered his temper!

Looking at the furious Germain.

Roger and Stinger lowered their heads.

Rogue said, "That's not what we meant. We can't deny that we were defeated by Mr. Natsu. They were indeed stronger Dragon Slayers than us. In the battle against them, we realized that our understanding of Dragon Slayer Magic was somewhat biased, which is why we wanted to ask them for advice."

"Shut up!!"

Enraged, Germain suddenly rushed in front of Roger and punched him, sending him flying!

"Rogge!"

Stinger exclaimed.

"Cough cough."

Roger was already seriously injured, and without any preparation, this punch caused his bandages to come undone and blood to flow from his seven orifices, making him look extremely miserable and frightening.

While Stinger was distracted, Germain punched him again, sending him flying.

"You are not qualified to be a member of our strongest guild—Sabertooth!"

Stinger and Roger clenched their fists.

"My guild doesn't need shameless bastards like you!"

Germain roared, "Remove the emblem from me! You don't deserve it!"

There was silence.

First Yukino, then Stinger and Rogue.

Everyone felt a sense of melancholy, like the saying "when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves."

Many people felt that they deserved to lose this battle; the gap was so obvious that there was nothing they could do about it.

Besides.

Natsu is in their guild, and he hasn't reached S-rank yet.

Above them are five S-class mages, as well as Yefrit, the master of Saint Emily and another super-magic user.
