Fairy Tail: Start by accepting the Royal Knights

The year of X776 is coming to an end.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the year of X776 is coming to an end. It has been a very peaceful year. No special people have joined the guild. There are some extras coming and going, but Ross doesn't care about these people.

In the guild, Makarov stood at the railing on the second floor.

I officially announce that the person who will take the S-level promotion exam this year is Laxus Dolea.

Exam time: seven days later

Location: Tianlang Island

Chief examiner: Ross Soros

Exam format: 1 VS 1

The format is what Laxus and Ross agreed on long ago, 1 VS 1 real man duel, no teammates.

"Oh!!!!" The cheers lasted for a long time.

Everyone in the guild cheered together. Although Laxus was still quite arrogant, he was generally sociable. Everyone was very happy that Laxus had obtained the qualification for the S-class exam.

"Laxus, congratulations." Cana came over and toasted Laxus, but she drank grape juice.

Laxus raised his glass and clinked it with her.

Gray and Leo also congratulated Laxus and issued a battle declaration. Laxus just chuckled, saying that they were still too early.

"Laxus, congratulations, I will also be qualified for the S-class exam soon." This was said by Erza. Erza and Ultia also came over to congratulate Laxus. Ultia didn't have any obsession with becoming an S-class, but of course she wouldn't back down if it was her turn.

"Then I wish you success soon." Laxus nodded to Erza.

After everyone in the guild finished congratulating Laxus, Ross, who was sitting next to him, spoke.

"Congratulations, Laxus." Ross asked the waiter for a beer. Ross was going to drink a glass of wine today as an exception, which was also a congratulations to Laxus.

Laxus also clinked glasses with Ross and drank a sip, then shook his head and said, "It's not certain that you can pass."

"I am the examiner. If I say you can pass, you can pass. No one can stop me. I said it." Ross patted his chest, as if he had drunk fake wine.

Laxus saw a big fist appear on Ross's head. It was the little fist that his grandfather loved.

"Don't let me go." With these words, Ross and his chair were knocked over.

"President, you can teach people a lesson, but you can't destroy public property." Erza on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and she put her hands on her waist and started to scold Makarov.

Makarov smiled awkwardly and drank the wine, not daring to look Erza in the eye.

In the next seven days, Laxus disappeared from Ross's sight, and Makarov said that he would continue to practice.

Ross was also preparing for the battle in the eastern forest. Ross had no intention of losing. Erza practiced with Kagura during these seven days and did not disturb Ross's practice.

On the boat, Uru took Urtia, Erza, Kana and Kagura to visit Tenrou Island. Gray, Leo and others who were going to see it were stopped.

Laxus said that he would never let them see him fainting in transportation. As for Erza and the others, they had already seen it. Laxus planned to play badly.

Tenrou Island, on the coast, Ross and Laxus set the duel location here. Uru and Makarov protected Erza and the others and watched the duel from a distance. Mavis also sat on the stone. She had a good impression of Laxus who looked like Yuri.

The two stood opposite each other. The sea breeze was a little strong, blowing up the coat that Laxus was wearing. This coat was given by Ross. Laxus did not wear the sound pot today. As for Ross, he was wearing a suit and did not have such troubles.

"Remember our first duel?" Laxus raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was lost in memory.

"Of course I remember. It was the night of September 28, X770. We met for the first time. We were only this tall then." Ross even compared his waist.

Laxus lowered his head and closed his eyes to recall the situation that day: "Yes, I fought with you the next day and lost miserably. Ivan told me that Dragon Slayer Magic was a very powerful ancient magic, but I still lost miserably. From then on, I decided that I must defeat you."

His tone was very calm, but he did not seem disappointed. Ross even heard the surging fighting spirit from his calm tone.

"He didn't lie to you. Dragon Slayer Magic is really powerful. It's magic that can really slay dragons."

Laxus didn't refute, but nodded, "Well, as my physique gets stronger and my magic power improves, I can feel more and more the power of Dragon Slayer Magic."

Laxus's mouth slightly raised: "After that, we practiced together, carrying weights and climbing steep mountains.

Cliff, exercise under the waterfall, meditate every day, compete, although I have never won once, haha. "

Finally, he shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"But the gap between us is getting smaller and smaller."

This is the truth. Laxus's talent is indeed very strong. In the first duel, Rose can be said to have basically played Laxus in the palm of his hand.

But slowly Laxus began to catch up.

Laxus shook his head, "Losing is losing, losing a little is also losing, but."

"I don't think it's shameful to lose to you, but it's shameful to give up defeating you."

"Very good belief." Rose raised his eyebrows and felt Laxus's fighting spirit.

Originally, Rose thought Laxus was going to start, but he didn't expect him to change the subject:

"Remember this time last year? When I said I couldn't come back for the time being."

Rose blinked and nodded: "Remember, that was the first time we didn't spend Christmas together after we met. ”

“Last year, when you told me about other dragon-slaying crystals, I started looking for them. But they seemed too rare, and I couldn’t find them at all. But I learned another method from somewhere else. Do you know the Village of the Sun?”

Rose didn’t say anything, but raised his eyebrows. He guessed it a little.

“The Village of the Sun, the Eternal Flame?” Urutia murmured softly. She knew that there was a flame in the Village of the Sun that had been burning for four hundred years and never stopped.

Laxus continued, “You told me about the fusion of other attributes before. I thought that since I couldn’t find the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal, I would look for other methods. The flame that never goes out is great, isn’t it?

"I lived in the Sun Village for a while,

I helped the villagers of the Sun Village to deal with the bounty hunters, and obtained their consent to lend me some flames.

Unfortunately, I had no idea at the beginning. I stayed in the Sun Village for two months and tried various methods, magic tools, crystals, but I couldn't absorb it."

"Finally, I planned to absorb it by force, but the flame magic kept rejecting it, and it was painful to absorb it a little.

But when I absorbed it, I smelled the smell of a fire dragon, or saw it. I saw a dragon with a whole body made of flames. This is the flame left by the fire dragon!

I remembered the situation when I merged into the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal when I was a child. At that time, I seemed to have no magic power at all, and the magic power in my whole body was emptied."

What was the Flame Dragon? Ross had some impression, but forgot the name.

"Laxus..." Makarov's eyes were tearful. He already knew how Laxus did it. It was hard for him to imagine how his grandson suffered.

"I gave up absorbing it first, cleared all the lightning magic power in my body, and directly absorbed the flame. It was very painful. It hurts just thinking about it now, but I succeeded."

As he said this, Laxus pulled down his coat and threw it aside. His upper body became stronger, and his shirt was broken by his surging body. His whole body magic power began to surge.

Scales began to appear on his upper body and face, and golden arcs and red flames jumped around his body. The strong lightning and flame pressure distorted the space around him.

"Thunder and Flame Dragon Mode." Ross blurted out, but he didn't expect Laxus to come up with the Thunder and Flame Dragon first.

"Thunder and Flame Dragon Mode? Nice name."
