Chapter 39: Natsu Steals an S-Class Request!
Under the cover of night, two figures moved sneakily inside the dark guild hall.
One of them flapped little wings, heading straight for the second floor.
After taking a request sheet from the second floor, the two left the guild directly.
In an alley far from the guild, the figure holding the request sheet looked worriedly at the other person. "Natsu, do we really have to do this?"
Natsu's eyes were serious. He punched his fists together in the dark, his blood boiling. "I want to prove to the Guild Master and Ren that I have the strength of an S-Class mage. I will definitely complete this request!"
Seeing the passionate Natsu, Happy believed in him unconditionally.
Just as the two were leaving Magnolia, a figure sneakily followed behind them.
Looking at the departing Natsu with a grave expression.
"Natsu, that lunatic! He actually stole an S-Class request!"
Gray stood in the darkness, his face heavy as he watched Natsu leave.
The difficulty of S-Class requests was extraordinary. Even Mirajane, after becoming an S-Class mage, almost let Lisanna lose her life in a request.
Let alone Natsu and Happy alone.
With worry in his heart, he gritted his teeth and turned to find Makarov.
Woken up in the middle of the night, Makarov was furious. After hearing Gray's words, his anger skyrocketed.
Slapping the table in front of him, his hair stood on end with rage as he shouted at Gray, "Gray! Is what you said true?"
Gray nodded heavily, his face equally grave and serious. "I heard Natsu say it myself. I just don't know which request he went to complete."
Makarov nodded, then looked at Gray seriously. "Gray, go chase after Natsu now. You must bring him back!"
Gray nodded firmly and left Makarov's house shortly after.
After Gray left, Makarov also dressed and headed to the guild.
Checking the request board on the second floor, he found the request sheet Natsu had stolen.
Suddenly, Makarov shifted his gaze to a dark corner.
"Laxus, you were here the whole time, right?"
A figure emerged from the darkness.
Laxus opened his eyes, his gaze cold and ruthless, grinning at Makarov. "Old man, finally caring about your own grandson after so long?"
"Laxus, I'm not joking with you! Why didn't you stop Natsu?!"
A surging aura erupted from Makarov as he glared at Laxus and shouted.
Laxus sneered, completely disregarding Makarov's questioning.
"If you need others to intervene even in this kind of thing, then just quit Fairy Tail early. Fairy Tail doesn't need such trash mages!"
Laxus's eyes were indifferent as he glanced at Makarov and sneered.
"You!"
Makarov's brows furrowed, looking helplessly at the rebellious Laxus.
Ivan's incident had turned Laxus into what he was now.
Sighing, Makarov looked at Laxus with disappointment, then turned to go downstairs.
Being looked at by Makarov's disappointed eyes, Laxus felt as if a sharp thorn had pierced his heart.
Full of anger, he shouted at Makarov's back, "I am your grandson! You never cared about me! Fairy Tail doesn't need these weaklings!"
"Laxus, Fairy Tail is a big family. Since everyone joined Fairy Tail, everyone is family. Until you understand this, you will never be a qualified Fairy Tail mage!"
Makarov didn't waste any more words with Laxus, turning his head and leaving the guild directly.
Completely ignoring Laxus's gloomy face behind him.
After leaving the guild, Makarov's expression was also unpleasant. Looking at the dark moonlight in the distance, his face was heavy.
Thinking about it, Makarov had no choice but to go to Ren's house.
In the living room of Ren's house.
Ren was crossing his arms unhappily, looking unkindly at Makarov opposite him.
Erza, seeing Makarov's heavy expression, nudged Ren's arm, then asked Makarov, "Guild Master, do you need us for something in the middle of the night?"
Makarov nodded, then told them the whole story.
As Makarov finished speaking, Erza stood up immediately, her face frosty as she asked, "Is Natsu crazy?! Doesn't he know that non-S-Class mages aren't allowed on the second floor to take requests?"
Erza was furious and extremely disappointed with Natsu's actions.
"Erza, Gray went to chase Natsu, but whether he can bring Natsu back is another matter. So I hope you and Ren can go to Galuna Island and bring that bastard Natsu back!"
Makarov sighed deeply, looking at the frosty-faced Erza.
Before Ren could respond, Erza nodded immediately.
Her pajamas flashed with white light and turned into armor. She said seriously, "Guild Master, leave it to me!"
Seeing the ready Erza, Makarov breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Hey, hey, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"
Seeing the two bypassing him directly, Ren shouted with black lines on his face at the two discussing the issue.
Erza glared, standing beside Ren with her hands on her hips.
Staring straight at Ren, she didn't say a word.
"Fine, I'll go too."
Stared at silently by Erza like that, Ren finally surrendered, spreading his hands helplessly.
Seeing Ren agree, Erza turned her head arrogantly and snorted softly.
After Makarov left, Erza prepared the items for this mission.
Looking at the huge bundle in front of him, a drop of cold sweat fell from Ren's forehead.
"Erza, there's no need for such a big commotion, right?"
Ren laughed dryly, speaking awkwardly to Erza.
Erza raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "These are just some clothes and necessities."
With a dark face, Ren said helplessly, "Erza, we're just going out for a normal request. We'll be back in three days at most. It's not necessary, really not necessary!"
Under Ren's strenuous persuasion, Erza reluctantly gave up on that huge bundle.
