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

At that moment, Honez's voice came again.

"Next, I will teach you the method of meditation. Once you have mastered it, I will teach you the various details of receiving magic."

[“Let’s get started.”]

【…】

【…】

Mirajane and her two companions began to try meditation.

During this time, Honez approached Erza, who had been watching intently.

"I never knew you had such a talent for teaching."

Erza tossed a bottle of water to Hackintosh.

[Hacknatsu took the water bottle, unscrewed the cap, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then looked at Erza.]

"Do you have a talent for being a teacher?"

[“Eh?”]

Erza blinked in surprise.

Then, as if realizing something, he said with some disbelief:

"You don't mean you want me to teach them, do you? I don't know how to absorb magic!"

Henatsu waved his hand in response.

"It wasn't about teaching them, it was about teaching me."

【"ah?"】

Erza was even more confused.

"What can I teach you? You're so strong, you probably don't need me to teach you, right?"

【"fencing!"】

[Honatsu said decisively.]

"As a Stegosaurus, your swordsmanship must be very strong, right? How about you teach me?"

Erza hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It's not that I don't want to teach, the key is..."

"The path of swordsmanship requires years of accumulated experience. From a young age, one needs to build a solid foundation in all aspects. If you don't understand anything at all, it's difficult to achieve anything if you start learning halfway through."

"Moreover, this is very time-consuming and difficult."

"Is it time-consuming...? That's fine!"

[Henaz shook his head: "I'm only about ten years old now, still considered a child. You can start teaching me now, and I'll learn it whether you teach me or not."]

"At least let me get started, so I can incorporate it into my cultivation plan later."

Seeing the unwavering determination in Haku's eyes, Erza sighed and nodded.

"Alright then, but learning too much or too many different things isn't a good thing. I'd prefer you to focus your energy on one thing at a time. However, since you want to learn, I have no reason not to teach you."

Hearing Erza agree, Honez finally smiled.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started! Time is life!"

[Hennaz urged.]

Erza gave a slight twitch of her lips.

"Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"Time flies, we must cherish every minute and every second to strengthen ourselves!"

[Henazu said in a deep voice.]

Erza's expression froze for a moment, then she scratched her head helplessly.

"Seriously, being around monsters is so stressful. If I'm not careful, I feel like I'm wasting my life..."

After uttering a complaint, Erza spread her arms wide.

[A transformation spell was activated, and two longswords appeared out of thin air in his hands.]

He handed one to Henna, and kept the other for himself.

"Alright! Let's begin the lesson!"

Chapter 120 What kind of monster is this guy?!

Gajeel: "By the way, does that Black Natsu guy also have a talent for swordsmanship?"

Erza: "The path of swordsmanship is not so simple. Even the most basic introduction requires a lot of basic practice."

"Otherwise, it's just a pretty facade, good to look at but useless."

Kagura: "Moreover, unlike magic, to achieve something in swordsmanship, you really need a very high level of talent."

"This path relies even more on talent than magic."

Mirajane: "Talent... Black Natsu over there has pretty high talent, so it should be fine, right?"

Makarov: "It's different. Although I don't know much about swordsmanship, I have studied it systematically before and want to master another fighting method."

"But unfortunately, this thing just won't work, and it has absolutely nothing to do with talent in magic."

Lili: "I remember that Natsu on our side has never touched a sword or knife or any other weapon, right?"

Natsu: "Why would I need that? My original Dragon Slayer Magic is strong enough."

Igneel: "Sigh... So this is the difference between you and Honatsu."

Natsu: "Huh?? How did we get onto this again?"

"Well, actually, the path of kendo, once you get started, is both simple and difficult."

[In the forest, Erza and Hanatsu each held a sword, and Erza's voice rang out.]

"No matter how you put it, the methods of using a sword still involve basic movements such as slashing, chopping, and thrusting."

"Then things become simple. To get started, it's all about mastering these movements and ensuring the precision and power of each strike."

"Precision versus force?"

Hennaz stared thoughtfully at the blade in his hand.

"Then, let's start practicing. Once you've built a solid foundation, you'll have entered the field."

Erza paused slightly at this point, then solemnly said:

"However, you need to be prepared. Sometimes, the basics are the hardest to master. To truly master them, you really need talent, and this is completely different from any other magic."

Henna nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Let's get started, I can't wait."

Erza shook her head helplessly as she watched the eager Haku Natsu.

He then pointed to a thick, long-broken tree stump in front of him.

"Your task now is actually quite simple: cut down the tree stump."

Henaz looked over upon hearing this and saw an old tree stump with a diameter exceeding one meter.

On the tree stump, there were several lines drawn with magic.

"Precision and power! This is the first thing you need to master."

"Use your sword to slice along the lines of the tree stump, without veering off course or using any magic. Use only your physical strength to cut the stump, and the final requirement is to obtain a complete cut."

"I trained like this back then, and it greatly helped with accuracy, control of force, and so on."

Erza spoke eloquently.

"Chop off the tree stump? I understand."

Henna nodded.

Looking at that confident expression, Erza shook her head helplessly.

"It took me two and a half months of practice to be able to do this. The hardest part is controlling the force. To cut a tree stump in one go and leave a clean cut is not an easy thing."

"I'll give it a try first." Hennaz raised his sword and walked towards the wooden stake.

"You can't use any magic."

Erza reminded them again, but the next moment, a deafening roar echoed throughout the forest.

Erza stared in disbelief at Black Natsu.

Just now, with a single strike of his sword, the thick wooden stake shattered into pieces.

[It turned into countless wood chips and scattered all around the earth.]

"Didn't I say we couldn't use magic?"

Erza blinked and looked at Hackintosh.

To everyone's surprise, Hyunaz simply shrugged, looking completely innocent.
