Card Master in Fairy Tail

"Hey, Natsu, you lost miserably."

In the haziness, Natsu heard a mean voice. After peeling away the gravel on his body, Natsu saw the source of the sound.

Yugen smiled and pulled Natsu out of the rubble. He was not surprised by Natsu and Gajeel's defeat.

Whether it's his own strength, the power of the cards, or his mastery of the power of the cards, Laxus is above the Double Dragons.

Looking aside, Gajeel was being bandaged by Lebby. Natsu thought of his two partners, why didn't he see Lucy and Happy?

"Natsu!"

In mid-air, Happy grabbed Lucy and greeted Natsu.

Before Laxus' thunder sea arrived, Happy flew into the sky with Lucy, but the impact of the thunder sea was too strong, and the two of them were blown away into the forest.

Seeing that his two partners were fine, Natsu relaxed.

"So there is such a big gap between Laxus and me..." Natsu sat down and looked up at the sky.

Yu Xuan threw a roll of bandages on Natsu, "Are you admitting defeat? Natsu?"

"Ah? How is that possible?" Natsu said with fighting spirit on his face, "Next year, I will definitely defeat Laxus in the exam! I'm already fired up!"

Sure enough, he was still the same Natsu. Yu Xuan nodded. Natsu's courage was always strong. Except when facing Erza, she was the natural enemy of most people in the guild.

"Hmph, Natsu, are you still thinking about taking the exam next year?"

Laxus' shoulder was wrapped with a bandage. It seemed that the four Natsu still caused some damage to him.

Hearing Laxus' words, Natsu jumped up, "What do you mean! Laxus! Do you think I can't take the exam next year!"

"You really can't participate, Natsu."

Yu Xuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Natsu's head, making his whole body wilt.

Lebby, who was bandaging Gajeel, also looked surprised. When did the guild rule that you could not take the assessment again?

Yu Xuan patted Natsu's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged. Although the S-class magician cannot participate in the assessment, with Natsu's trouble-making ability, the president may take back your assessment results. That way You can take the S-level assessment again."

Natsu nodded, it seemed that this was all he could do. Suddenly, Natsu was stunned. He took away the assessment results and took the assessment again. Doesn't that mean...

"Eh!!!"

"Have I already received Laxus's approval!"

Natsu stared at Laxus intently, his eyes filled with disbelief that he actually got Laxus' approval.

"You're really slow. Your brain must be burned out."

Laxus turned around and looked at Gajeel, who was being too affectionate with Lebby, "You too, the iron dragon whose brain is filled with iron."

"You mean I passed the test too!" Gajeel stood up in surprise, the wound on his body opened again, and he grimaced in pain.

Laxus snorted, maintaining his cold persona.

Yu Xuan clapped his hands, "Natsu, Gajeel, it's time for you to move on. You two also want to be the first group of magicians to complete the test."

Natsu's eyes lit up and he reached the finish line first, so he could laugh at Gray.

"I'm on fire!"

The idea was beautiful, but the pain from the wound and physical exhaustion made Natsu fall to the ground weakly.

Laxus looked at Natsu lying on the ground and couldn't help but regret that he actually approved of this idiot.

...

After seeing off Laxus and the Double Dragon partners, Yugen said to the side of the air: "How about it, even though he lost, Natsu is still pretty good."

"Strength is secondary. Natsu just needs to be happy."

Zeref's figure appeared in the air. Warrod's hidden magic was just child's play for him, and he could master it at a glance.

"Actually, I've always had a question, why did you create the devil?"

This question has been in Yu Xuan's mind for a long time. Zeref, who is kind-hearted in nature, has created many demons with different strengths and weaknesses. What is the reason behind this?

Zeref's answer was simple, "To kill me."

It turns out that after Zeref discovered that he was cursed and brought countless deaths, he decided to kill himself to end the curse. But even if Zeref used all his strength, he could not destroy his cursed body.

So Zeref decided to create some helpers for himself and let them kill him, and the "demon" was born.

But the result is obvious, one demon after another is created, but none of them can harm Zeref.

Instead, most demons misinterpreted Zeref's thoughts and caused chaos on the continent. There are too few demons as honest as the Demon of Books.

"I'm very surprised. Natsu can't kill you even if he awakens all his demon power, right? And why do you call him 'END'?"

Yu Xuan brought the topic back to Natsu.

Without using the power of the card, Yu Xuan felt that Natsu could barely compete with Kuanghua, and he always felt that the relationship between Natsu and Zeref was unusual.

Zeref's eyes revealed nostalgia, "Because Natsu is my brother."

"Natsu is still a prince!"

Although Natsu was an old man over 400 years old, and although he was a demon, Yu Xuan didn't care at all.

It is known that Zeref is the emperor of the Western Continent, and Natsu is Zeref's younger brother, which means that Natsu is the prince of Albarez.

In this case, Yu Xuan plans to give Natsu a hard knock... and give Natsu a lot of love, to let him know what the warmth of a companion is (people's hearts are sinister).

"You guy..."

Zeref saw the evil smile on Yu Xuan's face, this guy must be obsessed with money!

. . . . . .

Although he was very tired, Natsu still looked excited when looking at the Sirius tree right in front of him.

"Aren't we number one? Congratulations."

Under the Sirius tree, Natsu looked at the dejected Felide and Elfman.

"Natsu, you idiot! Why don't you apologize quickly!"

Lucy quickly pulled Natsu away. Felid and Elfman looked like they were taking an isomorphic test.

Facing Natsu and Lucy's apologies, Elfman just sighed, "Hey... even a man can't pass the test."

"I've embarrassed Laxus." Felide said with a low expression.

As their partners, Bigusro and Abby Green also looked depressed.

Laxus looked at the red-haired figure talking to Makarov under the Sirius tree. It turned out that it was Erza whom Philid and the others met.

It seems that Philid and Elfman are also unlucky. Their gatekeeper is Erza, who is extremely strict.

Unlike Laxus, Erza used the power of cards right from the start.

Facing Erza under the auspices of Hope, among the two groups of partners, only Philide managed to sustain a few blows, while the others were completely powerless to resist.

So Philid and Elfman came to the Sirius tree as the first members to be eliminated.
