Yujiro Hanma from Fairy Tail

Gildarts looked at the guild members and said,"There are a lot of new faces here. This place has really changed a lot."

"Gildarts"

Suddenly Makarov called Gildarts' name

"Oh~! President, long time no see."

"How's the work going?"

"Hahahaha." Gildarts scratched his head awkwardly when he heard the president's question.

"No, I haven't finished it."

"What!"

"No way!"

"That Gildarts, the mission actually failed."

No one in the guild could believe that Gildarts would fail the mission, because he, like Ye, had a 100% mission completion rate, and he was also extremely powerful. What kind of difficult mission could it be that even he couldn't complete?

"So that's it.......Not even you?"

"Sorry, I brought shame to the guild."

"How could that be? As far as I know, you are the first person to come back alive from this mission."

After saying that, Makarov looked at Ye, and everyone followed the president's gaze and looked at Ye.

"Hey, isn't this Ye boy? Why are you silent here? I haven't seen you for three years. You have changed a lot. You have grown so tall.

Gildarts tempted,"I think if it is you, you can definitely do it. How about giving it a try?""

"I won't go. It's such a long way and I don't know how long it will take."

Makarov said,"But you are the only one in the guild who can complete it."

"I'm not interested now. I'll go when I'm free."

"Aren't you just idle around in the guild every day?!"

"I call this conserving your energy, how would you understand that?"

Ye Le looked at Gildarts and said,"I think you should be able to accomplish this with your strength, uncle. Did you encounter any force majeure?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, it's just that I'm not strong enough, huh~ I'm tired, tired, let's go, Natsu, come to my house later, I have a gift for you."

Gildarts knew Ye. If he told him that he was crippled by a dragon, he would definitely go around the world to hunt down the dragon.

After saying that, Gildarts turned around and left.

"Buzz——！"

The wall suddenly broke into small pieces, just enough for Gildarts to walk out.

"Can't you just go out normally?!" Makarov said angrily.

After Gildarts left the guild, the guild members talked about it. Everyone was guessing what happened to Gildarts that led to the failure of the mission, but they couldn't think of anything that could defeat him.

Gildarts's strength is recognized. In Fairy Tail, besides him, only Ye can take on missions of more than 10 years. In addition, guilds are now getting younger, and there are very few wizards like Gildarts who are in their 40s and still fighting on the front line.

Makarov said:"Smelly boy! Don't you really want to consider it?"

In Makarov's view, Ye, this little brat, can even break the magic power of the elves head-on. There is nothing in the world that can stop him, so if Ye comes to do this century-long mission, Makarov will be very relieved.

"Didn't I say that? I won't consider it for now. I'll wait until I have time later."

Just kidding. The plot has been going on for so long. How can I have time to do a hundred-year mission? I must follow the plot.

Natsu excitedly took Happy to Gildarts's house, but the brat also imitated Gildarts and opened a hole in the wall and walked out.

"Hobby, do you think the gift will be a rare foreign flame?"

"Alas!

Gildas's house

"Excuse me!"

"Are you here, Natsu, Happy, how is your relationship with Lisanna going after that?" Gildarts asked

"What?"

"You are still shy even though you are old enough, hahahaha."

Natsu's face faded:"Lisanna died two years ago."

Gildarts was stunned for a moment:"Really?....Really? Then Mila.......Sorry! Natsu."

Natsu turned and said,"If you just tell me this, I'll leave first."

Natsu was very sad about Lisanna's death and didn't want to talk about Lisanna at all.

Gildarts said,"Natsu....I met Long at work."

Natsu turned around instantly after hearing the news about Long."It's Igner!!"

"I think that's not the red guy you're looking for, that's a black dragon"

"exist.....where!"

"In the sacred peak of Zonya, it was thanks to him that my mission failed."

After hearing the location, Naz ran out immediately.

"Where are you going, Natsu!"

"Need I say more? I want to find him and ask him about Iguniru."

"It's useless Natsu, he is no longer there, the black dragon should be flying around the world"

"But even so, there should be some clues." Natsu said unwillingly.

Gildarts knew that he could not persuade Natsu, so he opened his cloak and said,"Take a look at this, Natsu."

In an instant, Natsu and Happy saw a shocking scene. Gildarts' body was covered with scars, including several fatal wounds. His left arm and left leg disappeared and were replaced by prosthetic limbs.

"It happened in an instant. I came face to face with the black dragon. My left hand and left foot disappeared, and even my internal organs were injured. I don't know how Iguniru is doing, but the black dragon is undoubtedly an enemy of mankind, and it is an existence that mankind cannot contend with."

"Then isn't it the duty of the Dragon Slayer to defeat him?"

"If you really think so, then I won't stop you."

Natsu's body kept shaking. He finally heard the news that might be related to Igneel, but he couldn't go.

"Bastard!!!" After saying that, Natsu ran out.

Happy said worriedly:"Natsu~"

"Happy, you have to help Natsu and persuade him not to think about those unrealistic things. That is not something that humans can defeat."

"I understand." After saying that, Happy flew in the direction where Natsu ran.

At this time, Ye came out from the intersection next to him.

"How are you? Are you still holding up? Do you want to go see Grandma Polucca?"

"Haha, I still can’t hide my feelings from you."

"Don't worry, I will avenge you, I definitely will!"

"I know you are very strong, Ye Xiaozi, but that is really not something a human can handle."

"To be honest, I don't know if I can defeat the black dragon, but I have a feeling that he will be my nemesis in life."

"Hahaha, you can feel this too, who knows if we can meet again."

Ye shook his head and didn't plan to say anything else. He took out precious magic metal materials and a blue bottle emitting a halo from the bag behind him.

"Take it. This is an unknown metal I got from the lord during the last mission. The only thing I know is that it can greatly enhance the magic power of the wizard. I originally wanted to give it to Erza, but I think you need it more now."

"And this is the water from the Fountain of Life that I treasure. I think it should be of great help to your injury."

"Hahaha, you really come as a timely help. I was just worrying about what to use to make a good pair of prosthetic limbs."

"Thank you! I'll treat you to a big meal some other day, hahahahaha"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your feast." After saying that, Ye turned and left

"By the way, remember to go to Polucica Vanna as soon as possible. I think she can bring out all the medicinal effects of the Fountain of Life."

"Haha, after three years, you've become as talkative as Erza."

"I will go, don't worry!"

Watching Ye waving and leaving

"The brat let him pretend, hahahaha, go treat the wound first, it has been hurting for several days."

By the river, Natsu was pounding the ground hard.

"Damn it!..."

"Natsu~" Happy said worriedly

"Natsu!!"

Natsu slowly raised his head and found that it was Ye

"How did you come"

"Don't think too much, Natsu, just work hard to improve your strength. When your strength reaches a certain level, the secrets you want to know will be revealed to you."

"Giving up on yourself is not your style. Never giving up is the you I know."

Ye said and walked towards home.

"Remember, Natsu, don't let the people who care about you worry about you."

Natsu looked up at the harpy who was worried about him.

"Hobby~ I'm sorry for making you worry"

"Come on, it's time for Harpy to go home"

"Hey!
