Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

Natsu: "..."

"Harpy, whose side are you on?"

However, even Natsu himself knew that option C was almost impossible.

Anyone with eyes can see that it's more likely to be A, or possibly B.

However, it cannot be C.

Erza patted Lucy on the shoulder: "Choose C. It's a waste if it's a waste. Others may look down on our guild members, but we can't look down on them."

"Even if that's not the case, we've still shown our attitude: we unconditionally trust our comrades."

Erza's words were met with approval from everyone.

Lucy nodded slightly, then looked at the answer sheet in her hand.

With a thought, all the other options above disappeared.

Only a large C remained on the answer sheet.

[Ding! Answer selected, answer to be revealed shortly.]

Chapter Thirteen: The Ultimate Genius, Igniru's Horror!

on the screen.

Igneel crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on Natsu, who stood motionless in front of him.

It was very patient, just quietly watching Natsu.

One minute... two minutes...

Gradually, ten minutes passed, and even Igneru couldn't help but sigh.

"So...it still doesn't work?"

The scene here is on a desolate plain.

Having finished his work, Sting rested on the spot and waited for the results, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

Sure enough, how could one possibly learn something after only watching it once and studying it once?

Dragon Slayer Magic isn't easy to learn.

After all, it's magic used to fight dragons, magic that gives weak humans the power to contend with giant dragons.

How could such magic be so easy to learn?

Even he himself, and Roger, only managed to learn it after going through countless hardships.

Admittedly, things like Dragon Slayer Crystals do exist in this world.

Once implanted in the body, it allows one to directly use Dragon Slayer Magic.

However, this method is ultimately only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

The Dragon Slayer Magic used by those who have implanted Dragon Slayer Crystals is not even strictly speaking their own.

Instead, it's a skill inherent to the Magic Crystal.

Once the magic crystal is removed, the user will no longer be able to use Dragon Slayer Magic.

Thinking of this, Sting patted Roger on the shoulder.

"Let's go. That Mr. Natsu from that parallel world is just trying to attract attention."

Roger nodded slightly, then stood up and glanced at the sky: "Boring..."

"Um?!"

The sudden commotion made Roger pause in his speech.

"What's wrong, Roger?" Sting also raised his head in confusion.

I looked up at the sky.

Immediately, his pupils contracted sharply!

"How can it be?!!"

Yes, how is that possible?

Almost everyone watching the live broadcast on the Sky Screen gasped in surprise at that moment.

on the screen.

Just as Igneel shook his head and sighed, preparing to call a halt to Natsu's actions...

The sudden surge of magical energy froze Igneel's claws in mid-air.

[Buzz... Buzz...]

A visible aura of magical energy rose from Natsu's body, causing his pink hair to flutter in the breeze.

Natsu, whose eyes had been tightly closed, suddenly opened them.

All the key points Igneel had mentioned before—the methods of mana output and mana conversion—flashed through my mind as if branded there.

Natsu then took a deep breath, his small belly swelling up like an angry pufferfish.

Immediately afterward, to Igneel's horrified gaze, magical energy began to construct an extremely complex magic circle in front of Natsu.

And this time didn't even exceed one second!

It's not just Iguniru.

Even the countless people watching the sky right now know this.

When learning magic for the first time, the construction of the magic circle is a crucial factor in whether a spell can be successfully completed.

Magical conversion, magical output, magical power levels, and so on all require special symbols to be inscribed in a magic circle in order to activate magic.

This is the entire process of a magic spell from charging up to releasing it.

The first thing any mage does when learning magic, besides magic power, is always to familiarize themselves with the structure of magic circles.

And try to write it down and use it.

This process is lengthy, and it will only be completed once you are familiar with the magic and how to construct the magic circle.

Only then can you cast magic instantly.

Of course, this does not include monsters that are born with the ability to awaken magic.

After all, that kind of magic is innate.

Once they awaken, they will know exactly how to use it.

This refers to the fact that any magic learned later in life requires going through this process.

Igneel just explained the basics and principles of constructing the magic circle for Dragon Slayer Magic.

The lengthy explanation left almost everyone completely confused.

But what do they see now?

The magic circle was completed in less than a second.

This is practically instantaneous magic!

And what this means is very clear to every mage.

Natsu... really learned this magic and reached a level where he can use it proficiently?

The magic circle unfolded accordingly.

The magical energy accumulated in Natsu's mouth, through the effect of the magic circle, began to transform into dragon flames.

Natsu, his lips pursed, made loose fists with both hands and placed them in front of his mouth.

A suppressed voice then rang out: "The fire dragon's roar!!!"

【boom----】

[A storm of blazing flames erupted from Natsu's mouth.]

The terrifying heat ignited the weeds and leaves on the ground in front of Natsu.

[And it roared and surged forward.]

It then crashed directly into a nearby mountain peak.

【Bang----!!】

The sound of an explosion rang out, and the nearby mountain peaks seemed to have suffered a devastating blow as well.

The power of Dragon Slayer Magic was perfectly demonstrated at this moment.

Even Natsu, a novice, was able to destroy a third of the mountain with a single blow thanks to the immense power of Dragon Slayer Magic.

Of course, this is also because Natsu's own magical power was already quite strong at that moment.

Countless broken rocks fell down the cliff.

A huge, visible gap has appeared on the otherwise intact mountain peak, as if a portion of it had been gnawed away.
