Gray: "It's a long story, but in short, Lucy fought with every one of us in order to test these rewards."
"Although the use of magic was somewhat negligent, the sheer power of the magic was indeed exaggerated."
"They even managed to summon an old man with nose hairs, which almost destroyed the guild..."
Gray's words made everyone watching quite uneasy.
At the Gates of Tartaros, Maldo Gill: "The old man with the hairy nose? Could he be the Celestial Spirit King?! Can he be summoned at will?"
Eileen: "This canopy is so magical, can it even do something like this?"
On the resort island.
Eileen also sat up directly from the beach chair.
His eyes were fixed on the already used answer sheet in his hand.
"This thing... Ouch!! What did I miss?!"
Eileen was somewhat annoyed.
Why didn't I try to get those bizarre props?
Even a burden like Lucy can suddenly become the strongest in the guild.
So... if I answered correctly.
What kind of reward could there be?
Is it possible... for something to truly restore my human form to its original state?
An overwhelming feeling of excitement welled up inside me.
What has been the biggest problem that has plagued Eileen for over four hundred years?
Isn't it just that one's own body has already been assimilated into a dragon?
No sleep, no taste, no balance.
It lacks all the qualities that humans possess, except for that deceptive human appearance.
Even the dark mage Zeref couldn't help him regain his human form.
But Eileen never gave up and kept looking for a solution.
Unfortunately, Eileen has gained nothing over the years.
The transformation into a dragon is irreversible.
At this point, Eileen was almost in despair.
It was at this moment that an opportunity presented itself to Eileen.
However, she missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of her arrogance.
Clutching the answer sheet tightly in her hand, Eileen suddenly raised her head.
"It seems I underestimated this Sky Screen live broadcast!"
At this point, the rewards have been distributed.
The visuals on the sky have been updated again.
The black screen gradually dimmed, and a new image appeared on the white screen.
This time, we must carefully observe the celestial canopy and meticulously study every image in order to prepare for the upcoming quiz with prizes.
There's no way around it, Lucy's reward is really enviable.
In this world, what is the meaning of a mage's training?
The reason is simple: most of them aim to become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger can you get everything you want.
However, becoming stronger is easier said than done, and incredibly difficult in practice.
Talent, opportunity, belief, and so on...
Too many factors are involved.
This has led to the phenomenon that the strong are extremely rare, while the weak are as numerous as hairs on a cow.
However, there is now a brand new opportunity for people who are not particularly talented to become strong.
It can also make the strong stronger, and even give the dead a chance to be resurrected, all laid bare before the eyes of audiences worldwide.
No one would willingly let such an opportunity slip away.
Therefore, one by one, they almost had to use the same concentration they had when they were in class as children to carefully analyze every image that appeared in the sky.
The scene continues.
Almost a month has passed since the last lesson.
During this time, Natsu followed Igneel to this towering mountaintop almost every day for breath control training.
[And Natsu's learning progressed, becoming increasingly proficient over time.]
Until this day, as a not-so-large fiery tornado erupted, Natsu joyfully announced that he had mastered the Dragon Slayer Magic's breath attack.
However, despite the bumpy road, Natsu had more time to spend with Igneel.
[Life was quite happy for them; Natsu would pester Igneel almost every spare moment, like a little shadow.]
On this day, Igneel, seemingly tired of Natsu's daily whims and clingy behavior, decided to give him a different kind of test.
So, they led Natsu into a dense, primeval forest.
Natsu, you've been learning magic for several months now. It's time to test your progress.
This is the Monster Forest, home to many powerful magical beasts. Your task is to safely spend the night in this forest!
Chapter Seventeen: Unbelievable, Dragons Appear Together
Igneel's words startled young Natsu!
"Huh? You want me to spend the night alone in the forest?"
Natsu's gaze drifted ahead to the seemingly endless primeval forest, and he swallowed hard.
[Whether it was his imagination or not, Natsu could even faintly hear the roar of some kind of ferocious beast hidden in that vast forest!]
"Igneel, are you serious?"
Natsu couldn't help but look at Igneel again, his small face filled with disbelief.
"What? Are you scared?"
Igneel's voice was unreadable, exactly the same as when he usually argued with Natsu.
Sword-Biting Tiger, Germain: "It seems this dragon shares the same philosophy as me. If you want to become strong, you have to start from childhood."
"I did the same thing back then, leaving my good-for-nothing daughter to survive alone in the primeval forest, and in reality, she did not disappoint me."
Sword-Biting Tiger, Minerva: "Hehe... Father is right."
Inside a hotel, Minerva, who had just completed her mission, was resting.
His gaze was fixed on the words Germain spoke on the sky.
She bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with hatred.
Even today, Minerva can still recall the despair of being abandoned alone in the primeval forest.
At that time, Germain's actions were just like Igneru's now.
However, unlike Minerva's memory, Germain only cared about strength from beginning to end.
I've never cared whether she lives or dies.
As long as it can make him stronger, Germain will do anything without hesitation.
Even if it meant sacrificing his own biological daughter.
But judging from what I just saw, Igneel shouldn't be like this.
Almost everyone can feel its love for Natsu.
That's the attitude a true father has towards his child.
Back then, when Germain abandoned himself in the primeval forest.
But he left without looking back.
I really have absolutely no intention of taking care of myself.
If it weren't for my strong potential, I would have really died in the primeval forest back then.
And now, that shameless man is actually proud of it?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but Minerva ultimately suppressed them all.
He turned his gaze back to the sky: "So, could this Igneel be like Germain back then?"
As Natsu's adoptive father, Igneel knew Natsu's personality perfectly well. What he couldn't stand most was being provoked, even if the provocation was utterly stupid.
