Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

Gray had just finished speaking.

Everyone present turned their gaze to the figure behind them, who was eating a strawberry cake.

"Eh? Me?"

Erza, biting her spoon, blinked in confusion.

Chapter 102 Igneru: So, you can't beat anyone?

In the scene depicted on the sky.

After Henaz accepted Makarov's invitation, things gradually dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, without the slightest hesitation, the other white-framed screen slowly lit up with color.

Igneel: "Has the scene with Whitey begun?"

Grandine: "I wonder how Benaz was when he was young?"

Igneel: "This is really something to look forward to. I bet Natsu got along really well with everyone in the guild when he was little, right?"

Natsu: "Um... in a sense, it should be considered pretty good, right?"

The white-bordered screen lit up completely.

[Inside the Fairy Tail guild.]

Natsu, who had just joined the guild, seemed quite outgoing, able to strike up a conversation with almost anyone.

Seeing this, Igneru nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, that's good. Now that you've just integrated into a new group, the most important thing is to build good relationships with the people in the group. That way, when you're in trouble in the future, others will be more likely to help you."

The scene quickly changes.

A boy with his upper body bare walked into the guild.

[Natsu and Gray's eyes met unexpectedly!]

[Uncle Wakaba, a guild member, sighed helplessly, then flicked the ash from his pipe and spoke.]

"It's starting again, those two little ones."

[As Wakkaba said, in the next moment!]

The two little ones swiftly covered the distance of several dozen meters with lightning speed, their heads touching.

Their eyes were fixed intently on each other.

There were even flashes of electricity in the air.

"Hey! Isn't this the perverted naked man? What wind blew you here, 04?" Natsu was the first to attack.

"Hmph! I can go wherever I want in the guild, whenever I want. What are you going to do about it?" Gray retorted defiantly.

"Have they become so arrogant now? Have you forgotten who was beaten and crying for their parents last night?"

"Of course it's you, you snotty bastard!"

"It's you, you underwear pervert!"

"Slanted eyes!"

"Get the eye in!"

"That guy who breathes fire!"

"That guy who likes to play with ice and pee his pants!"

[The two sides engaged in a furious exchange, each delivering a sharp retort.]

Outside the canopy, countless people were speechless.

Gerald: "Seriously, isn't this just so pointless?"

Uru: "Hehe, but it's still quite interesting."

Ultear: "I never expected Gray to be so good with words. Look how awful those insults are."

Uru: "I'm a little curious. I didn't teach Gray to say these things. Where did you learn them from?"

Gray: "Haha... well... maybe it's talent."

Igneel: "So, all those grand principles I taught you, is this how you use them? Natsu??"

Natsu: "Well, anyway, I've beaten Gray many times using these."

Igneru: "You're quite proud of yourself?!"

Grandine: "We were just saying we wanted to live in peace, how did things suddenly turn out like this?"

Harpy: "Maybe they're natural rivals. Anyway, this kind of scene plays out every day, and everyone in our guild is used to it."

Indeed, as Harpy said.

After hurling a few minutes of pointless insults, the two little ones finally lost their temper and started fighting.

Everyone in the guild was used to this.

Anyway, a fight between two little brats won't cause any real problems.

[Wait, it'll be much better once those two energetic guys are exhausted.]

【or……】

[The intervention of another person.]

[Bang! Bang!]

Two loud explosions echoed within the guild.

Just moments before, Natsu and Gray had been fiercely determined to defeat their opponent, but after those two loud bangs, they both scrambled to the ground, their eyes wide with fear as they stared at the armored figure.

"She's here! Erza!!!"

[Macao screamed in terror.]

"Er...Erza??"

Natsu clutched his head in his hands, tears welling in his eyes, and involuntarily shrank back.

[Grey on the other side was the same, as if he were some great terror.]

Lucy, watching this scene from outside the sky, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems that the fear of Erza existed since childhood."

Happy: "Of course! When we were kids, no matter how badly Natsu and Gray fought, Erza could always calm things down and give them a good beating whenever she showed up."

Gray: "Hey Happy, you don't need to talk about this, do you?"

Natsu: "Exactly, besides, it's not like I haven't challenged Erza before."

Igneel: "Oh? You dare to resist?"

Natsu: "Of course! I'm Igneel's son!"

Gray: "Of course, if you fight back, you'll just get beaten even worse."

Medalicana: "Heh, these kids are quite interesting."

"I remember Natsu and Gajeel used to fight a lot when they were kids, right?"

Gajeel: "Not only that, it is now, but I win most of the time."

Natsu: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly me, okay?"

Gray: "Stop talking, all of you! I'm the strongest!"

Erza: "Hmm?"

Gray: "Um, Erza doesn't count, that's like a dimensional reduction attack..."

[In the scene, Erza's arrival effectively subdued the unruly Natsu and Gray.]

[And in a bossy tone, she reprimanded the two of them again.]

Although they were extremely resentful, the two had no way to resist, so they could only swallow their anger and feel extremely wronged.

The days passed by one after another amidst this noise.

For Natsu, each day is simple yet fulfilling.

I woke up early this morning and went to the guild, then went to find Gray to fight.

[At noon, after lunch, Gray called me in for a fight.]

In the afternoon, with nothing else to do, Natsu went to fight Gray again, then ran into Erza, and the two of them got beaten up together.

That evening, Natsu, who had been feeling frustrated all afternoon, found Erza with a resentful expression.

[Then he got another beating.]

Finally, he went back to sleep with a bruised and swollen face.

Along the way, Natsu also met a new member, a guy named Laxus.
