"Where are you injured? Did that bastard Medalicana just not hold back?"
"In that case, I'll have to go and have a word with that old man."
As he spoke, Igneru immediately stood up, preparing to confront Metaricana.
Of course, the theory was just an excuse; the real reason was to fight this old guy.
[This is to demonstrate one's strength.]
Even the most peace-loving dragons, as dragons, are not without a degree of competitiveness and belligerence.
For Igneel, it meant giving his old friend a good beating.
Of course, revenge is also a real reason; after all, Igneel is very protective of his own.
His impulsive manner stunned the audience watching the canopy.
Inside the Fairy Tail guild, pairs of eyes were fixed on Natsu.
Wow, so that's why this reckless guy has such a personality.
Seeing Ignel's eager expression, Natsu gave a helpless wry smile and said, "That's not how it is."
Medalicana didn't hurt me at all; he was very sensible.
[“Is that so?”]
A visible hint of disappointment appeared on Igneel's dragon face.
Without an excuse, the fight is off.
[After all, I am the Dragon King. If I were to beat up another dragon for some random reason, wouldn't I, Igneel, be shameless?]
However, Natsu's condition was more important, so Igneel asked again, puzzled, "Then, what happened to you?"
Natsu had no reason to hide this from anyone.
I'm just keeping track of time.
He looked at the full moon in the sky and said.
"Calculate the time?" Igneru was bewildered. What was going on?
"I still have one part of my training plan to complete: a 100-kilometer weighted run. If I wait any longer, it will be too late."
"Oh," Igneel said, turning his head away indifferently.
Suddenly, its massive body stiffened.
"What...did you just say?"
[Seemingly unable to believe it himself, Igneel stared intently at Natsu.]
“Training,” Natsu said, shaking his head helplessly.
"Instead of having a meaningless gathering here, I'd rather use my free time to train. At least that way I won't waste my time, right?"
Igneel stared at Natsu's enormous eyes and blinked curiously.
"Are you serious, Natsu?"
"So this is what you've been doing every day, leaving early and coming home late?"
Seeing Igneel's surprise, Natsu stroked his chin.
"Hmm... maybe it's also a matter of habit. If I don't finish the training, I feel itchy all over, and I'm not very comfortable."
Makarov: "Isn't that a bit too diligent?"
Hades: "Feeling guilty for not finishing training? Is this even a normal person?"
Marcao: "Yeah, yeah, that attitude is completely different from Natsu's on our side."
Happy: "I'm reporting that all Natsu on our side thinks about is sleeping and eating all day long. He practically doesn't train."
Natsu: "Huh? What are you talking about, Happy? Don't I always have special training?"
Harpy: "If you're referring to the last-minute cramming during each S-class mage exam, then it certainly counts as training."
Natsu: "..."
Mavis: "I have to say, there's a reason why Natsu over there is so strong."
Eileen: "Yes, there is a reason."
The banquet was finally drawing to a close.
Natsu refused Igneel's offer to fly him back.
Instead, he immediately picked up a huge rock and carried it on his shoulder.
"Igneel, you go back first. I'll carry this back, otherwise we won't be able to finish today's training."
Having said that, he immediately started running towards the depths of the forest.
Watching Natsu's departing figure, Igneel was practically beaming with joy.
"That's so convenient! With Natsu's performance, the others are probably drooling with envy, right?"
With a strange thought in mind, Igneel also flapped his wings and followed Natsu at a distance.
Chapter 41 Natsu knocks on Anna's door at night?
Time passed gradually in the repetitive cycle of practice.
Two years have flown by in the blink of an eye.
After his intense battle with Natsu, Gajeel seemed to have fully realized the gap between himself and Natsu.
[And so, a strange attribute awakened.]
Those who could rival Natsu in the original world all shared essentially the same personality.
That's the love of challenging the strong!
However, unlike Natsu, Gajeel always comes fully prepared for every challenge.
With his increased strength, Gajeel will challenge Natsu.
Having learned a new move, Gajeel will also challenge Natsu.
[I've come up with a new tactic; Gajeel will still challenge Natsu.]
Although, over the past two years, Gajeel has failed in almost every challenge.
[There were even a few times when he was beaten quite badly, but Gajeel always seemed to enjoy it.]
[Even inspired by Gajeel, Sting and Rogue, those two brats, wanted to challenge Natsu.]
This really annoyed Natsu.
After all, cultivation time is precious, and he didn't want to waste it.
So one of them delivered a slightly harder punch.
[They were beaten so badly they were bedridden for a month before they barely recovered.]
This completely puts Sting and Roger's worries at bay.
However, seeing this scene, Sting and Rogue from the original world couldn't sit still.
Although I know that this Hänatsu is very strong.
but……
Wouldn't it be a bit too much to punch your past self into being bedridden for a month?!
The footage is still playing.
On this day, Igneel and her group finally managed to invite Anna as their teacher, intending to use this final year to teach the children some things about the human world.
[Aside from Wendy, the other three Dragon Slayer mages—Gajeel, Sting, and Rogue—were all groaning at Anna's arrival.]
[Various dissatisfaction.]
However, with Anna employing a variety of methods, he was completely subdued and made to behave in a considerate manner.
As for Natsu, he showed great respect for Anna's arrival.
There was nothing wrong with the behavior.
Time has flown by once again, and another month has gradually passed.
Igneel felt that Natsu's behavior had been somewhat strange lately.
However, being a dragon, he couldn't quite understand some human emotions, so he asked Anna to keep a close eye on things and see if humanity was entering its most terrifying rebellious phase.
Anna also remembered this.
So, during a break between classes one day, Natsu was called out to a private meeting.
"You don't seem to be doing well lately. Has something happened?"
Anna looked at Natsu and asked with some concern.
Natsu is her most promising student.
