The setting sun hangs above the line where the sky and the earth meet in the distance.

Above the top of the cylindrical mountain that penetrates into the sky,

It is a devastated land that has been beyond recognition.

the center of the earth.

Dazzling white light soars into the sky,

A terrifying sense of oppression was unreservedly exerted on the two teenagers in front of him.

It was like carrying a huge mountain out of thin air.

As if to completely bend the spines of the teenagers.

In the forest below the cliff.

Makarov sat alone on the raised stone.

Feel the terrifying magic surrounding you.

and the earth that began to vibrate underfoot.

Makarov slowly closed his eyes.

"Should I return the sword to its sheath knowing my own weakness, or should I clench the sword and march forward bravely?"

Makarov murmured softly:

"Let me see... your determination!

Dull, suffocating, and painful.

This kind of emotion surrounds the two of them.

Sweat dripped down his cheeks.

dripping to the ground.

"Ha...ha..." Laxus gasped heavily.

The gradually blurred eyes stared at the figure in the light beam ahead.

His whole body trembled under this oppression.

But he still didn't look away.

The inner voice was telling him that he must not give up.

As long as he moves forward, what he has always pursued and longed for is called the glory of the strong.

can be caught by him.

Biting her lip hard,

The smell of 643's blood seemed to restore his sight to a brief period of clarity.

He took trembling steps forward.

Although the body is almost unable to straighten up.

Although his body was soaked with sweat, he was still moving forward.

Step by step……

The tremors of the legs became more frequent.

sometime!

He seemed to take a step forward.

With a look of astonishment and unwillingness,

Laxus fell forward uncontrollably.

"Is it about to end..."

"Can I... can only stop here..."

"Damn it!!!""

No matter how unhappy I am,

But he no longer has any strength to balance his body.

The ground was getting closer and closer to his eyes.

However, there was no dull sound as expected.

He was caught.

Like a dragon's claws grabbed his weak arm.

He propped up his entire body.

Laxus raised his head and looked at Luo Xingchen who was beside him.

Although under such pressure,

Luo Xingchen's forehead also seeped sweat.

His eyebrows were also tightly wrinkled together.

But his body was still straight.

"Is the gap...that big?" Laxus had such a question in his heart.

But it was quickly dismissed.

Because at this moment in front of such a pressure surface (ccbb),

All this has lost its meaning.

He and Luo Xingchen faced the same predicament.

Are you going to admit defeat...

Or desperately stepped forward and waved his fist.

Although that might not change anything.

"Still... can you move?" Luo Xingchen's tone was not calm.

Some even intermittently.

But it strengthened Laxus' heart even more.

Indeed, Luo Xingchen in front of him seemed to never give up.

And Laxus, who has always regarded it as his biggest rival,

How can you give up so easily?

Just to this extent...

How could he fall?

"Don't worry...you can't die..."

Laxus smiled weakly.

"Really strong.

Luo Xingchen responded while dragging Laxus forward.

"Why help me..."

Laxus moved with difficulty.

"Why? There aren't that many whys in this world."

Luo Xingchen gritted his teeth and smiled.

"If you really want to say..."

"I just don't want to see a person who has worked hard and tried his best, but didn't get the results he deserved.

Looking at Luo Xingchen at the moment, Laxus fell silent.

Yes, obviously you have worked so hard,

But it has never received positive reviews.

All this is just because of his grandfather.

Grandpa named Makarov.

Not just the president of the Fairy Tail guild.

He is also one of the ten holy wizards who are famous throughout the continent.

His aura was too shining, shining enough to overshadow all his efforts.

From childhood to adulthood, for seventeen years,

Laxus has always lived under this aura.

no matter what he accomplishes,

There is no way to escape words like [As expected of the grandson of Lord Makarov].

Until now, I have never escaped...

He has always wanted to prove himself.

Proving that he can get to where he is today has always been the result of his own efforts.

Proof that he never relied on his grandpa's fame!

He turned his head slightly and looked at Luo Xingchen's profile.

He smiled slowly and said, "Thanks...

"You don't need to thank you for helping you, it doesn't take much effort after all."5

Luo Xingchen looked directly at Gildarts, and said without looking back.

"Maybe..." Laxus didn't hesitate.

The two of them walked towards Gildarts, one after the other.

The trembling footsteps left deep footprints on the ground.

"Very good!" Looking at the two of them.

Gildarts made no sarcasm.

Wrapped in the white light, he slowly raised the corner of his mouth, but did not stop the two of them.

Instead, stand quietly.

Waiting for the teenagers to come to him.

Unleash a punch full of awareness!

As they approached, the two figures supporting each other approached Gildarts.

the closer.

The pressure of terror around him grew even stronger.

However, under such pressure, the teenagers became more relaxed.

They had smiles on their faces.

Like a victor.

"Why don't you admit defeat?" He looked at the two in front of him.

Gildarts questioned.

"Hehe..." Laxus looked directly at Gildarts, who was surrounded by a beam of light.

If he was still afraid of it just now.

And now, as he approaches Gildarts.

The fear seemed to vanish.

"If I admit defeat, what's the point of my sweat?"

Laxus spoke with difficulty:

"I can accept my defeat, but I absolutely cannot accept that I admit defeat halfway!"

"Even if I can't do it now, but... one day, I will definitely reach the peak you touched, and then...

"Draw you down!!

Firm words speak of the boy's determination.

Gildarts smiled and nodded,

He seemed to see the potential of a strong man in Laxus!

Looking at Luo Xingchen, he seemed to be looking forward to it.

Looking forward to this young man who has always been the most optimistic,

What will be the answer.

"My reason is simple!"

As if aware of Gildarts' expectations.

Luo Xingchen spoke, and there was no sense of fear in his tone.

"In my dictionary, there are no two words to admit defeat! 55

"I deeply know that this world is too big, and there are countless powerful people..."

"I also deeply know how weak I am now.

"But my own weakness will only become the reason for me to become stronger. As long as my belief is strong enough, I can defeat even strong enemies!"9

"Even death... there's no way for me to let go of my clenched fist!

Gildarts laughed: "What a simple obsession!

He looked at the two with admiration in their eyes:

"I feel your firm will, and I don't blame anyone who has the courage to challenge me."

"And I don't despise those who concede defeat in front of me. 35

"No matter what you choose, as long as there is a reason that convinces me.

"That's enough..."

The smile on his face gradually brightened, and he raised his arm:

"Come on then, throw your last punch! 35

"Let's draw a perfect end to your promotion assessment!
