[Ding! Local Wish commission complete]
[Reward: Lost Magic · "Fire Dragon Slayer Magic"]
[Client's comment: I fought with all my might, but I didn't expect my score to be only three point zero. Mira got the MVP! Did I become a freeloader?!]
You're still not convinced, kid...
Noah smiled slightly and collected Natsu's Wish reward.
In an instant, Noah mastered Dragon Slayer Magic and even understood its principles, but Noah wasn't happy. Instead, his expression became strange.
Because the original Dragon Slayer Magic was actually using Enchantment Magic to add a dragon's power to a human Mage's body!
Directly creating a powerful slayer-type Magic—was this still the Enchantment Magic known for its auxiliary role? However, Noah thought that Enchantment Magic appeared more than four hundred years ago, and was created in the same star-studded era as Dragon Slayer Magic, so he immediately felt there was nothing strange about it.
There were too many geniuses among human Mages in that era.
Even if someone told Noah that Enchantment Magic and Dragon Slayer were Magic created by the same person, Noah might even believe it.
After dealing with two lumps of harmful garbage, the Shadow Eater Legion grew, and he'd also gained Dragon Slayer Magic and learned the origin of Dragon Slayer Magic.
This trip today was truly worthwhile.
Watching Jiemma and Jose's shadows being completely devoured and them falling into a permanent coma, Noah recalled the Shadow Eater Legion, then got up and walked to the residential house next door, which was a doctor's clinic in the town.
After Mira finished the battle, Erza dragged Natsu and Gajeel, the two injured, to get bandaged, and Lucy also took the children from Sabertooth with her.
"Ow, ouch ouch ouch..."
As soon as he approached the sickbed, Noah heard Natsu's cries.
Severely injured by Jiemma's demonic power and having most of his Magic Power drained, Natsu's injuries couldn't be easily healed by ordinary treatment methods, but a Dragon Slayer's physique could recover quickly on its own.
What he needed was a replenishment of Magic Power.
So a ball of magical flame appeared before Natsu's eyes.
Natsu, bandaged like a mummy, looked at the white-haired young man, the source of the flame, with a surprised expression. "Noah, when'd you learn fire Magic?"
"Would you believe me if I said I literally just learned it?"
Noah was telling the truth, but Erza, who was still bandaging Natsu, didn't believe him.
She didn't believe that Noah, who was always lazy, would be so diligent. Normally, if she asked him to go shopping, he'd act like he was dying. Thinking of this, Erza couldn't help but apply more force.
"Ouch! Erza! Be gentle!"
When Erza was unhappy, Natsu was the one who suffered, wincing in pain as his wound was squeezed.
Noah took the opportunity to stuff the magical flame into Natsu's mouth.
Swallowing this power, Natsu's Magic Power rapidly recovered, the missing Magic Power was refilled, and he became lively again.
However, Natsu's face was full of doubt, because the magical flame Noah gave him was too familiar. In fact, Natsu used the same power almost every day.
Fire Dragon Slayer Magic!
The pink-haired young man's eyes widened.
He didn't care where Noah's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic came from. He just wondered if Noah knew the whereabouts of his foster father.
"Noah, you—"
Noah knew what he wanted to ask and interrupted him directly. "Don't ask. I don't know where your Igneel is either."
A decisive negative answer.
Although there was some regret, Natsu wasn't discouraged.
He believed that one day he'd be reunited with Igneel.
Just then, Mira walked into the ward and immediately saw Natsu, who'd been turned into a "mummy" by Erza, and couldn't help but find it amusing. "Erza, give it up. You don't have any medical talent."
"Tch, fine then."
Erza knew she wasn't good at this, but she was just stubborn and wanted to experiment on Natsu.
After Mira pointed it out, she reluctantly gave up and let the unlucky guy go.
Mira led Noah and the other two to a lounge in the clinic, which the doctor had lent them to rest.
At this time, Gajeel, Lucy, and the children from Sabertooth were all in the lounge.
Gajeel looked at the recovered Natsu and greeted him triumphantly. "Yo, Fire Dragon. You got beaten pretty badly today."
Could Natsu's fiery temper endure such a provocation?
The answer is yes, because he really hadn't beaten Jiemma in his second stage, while Gajeel successfully soloed Jose with strategy and by trading blows.
Natsu's silence immediately made the two little boys in the room whisper.
"Sting, you saw it—my Big Brother Gajeel's way stronger."
"That's not fair, Rogue! Big Brother Natsu fought the Guild Master! He's way stronger than Jose!"
"..."
Noah curled his lips, looking at the two children who were almost about to argue about whether Natsu or Gajeel was stronger. "Obviously I'm the strongest."
Sting and Rogue immediately stopped and looked at Noah suspiciously.
They hadn't seen Noah make a move from beginning to end, and they were full of doubts about this boastful big brother.
"White-haired big brother, you were clearly hiding behind the white-haired big sister earlier," Sting said bluntly.
Although Rogue didn't speak, his eyes were full of disbelief.
The fans of problem youth are indeed problem children.
Noah had no intention of showing off to the two children.
Instead, he scanned the other children. "Jiemma's been defeated. He's a member of the Black Magic Cult, and the Magic Council's task force is probably arriving soon."
"Do you want to continue staying in Sabertooth, or would you like to join our Fairy Tail?"
Noah originally thought he'd have to wait a while for an answer, but unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, the children all expressed their desire to join Fairy Tail, and also stated the Magic they could use.
Sting and Rogue—one a White Dragon Slayer Mage and the other capable of Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic—no wonder they admired Natsu and Gajeel so much.
Yukino still had two Gold Celestial Spirit Keys.
The other two boys, named Rufus and Orga, had Magic that even piqued Noah's interest.
Rufus's Magic was Memory-Make, which sounded very impressive—at least more stylish than Gray's Ice-Make.
And Orga's Magic was even more impressive. It was God Slayer Magic, one of the three great slayer-type Magics—Lightning God Slayer!
No wonder Jiemma kept the children taken in by the former Sabertooth Guild Master.
Each of them was exceptionally talented. Anyone would probably want to claim them for themselves.
However, now it benefited Fairy Tail.
Noah, Mira, and Erza exchanged glances.
As the new generation of the guild, they hadn't expected to find a batch of potential next-generation members for the guild so quickly.
Finally, only one little girl remained silent.
Her name was Minerva.
