"resurrection----!"

At the port, Naz raised his hands and shouted loudly as if he was celebrating something, attracting all the eyes around him.

"Noah!" Immediately afterwards, Naz seemed to remember something, turned around sharply, and rushed towards Noah who had just disembarked.

"Fight with me——!"

Before these words could be said, a fist suddenly appeared above the head of Natsu who rushed out, like a heavy hammer, it fell fiercely on Natsu's head.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Natsu's eyes protruded, his head smoked, and his whole body hit the ground directly, cracking the ground every inch of it.

Noah retracted his fist, passed Naz lying on the cracked ground, and walked forward with a blank expression.

"I knew you would do this."

"Ah..." Happy, who was suspended in mid-air, spread his hands.

"Naz, haven't you seen the confrontation between Noah and Erza?"

"Naz, you still haven't been able to beat Erza." Lucy said angrily.

"You still dare to fight with someone who can draw with that Erza without using magic. I really don't know what to say about you."

"Hmph." Gray threw out such a mocking sentence coldly.

"What a fool."

As soon as the words fell, Natsu, who didn't know when he got up from the ground, put his head on Gray's head, with a hideous expression.

"Who are you calling an idiot? Droopy eyes!"

Gray pushed back with his forehead without showing any sign of weakness, with the same ferocious expression.

"It's you! Hanging eye!"

At this time. Erza who got off the boat cast her eyes indifferently.

"What are you doing there?"

"It's nothing!" Natsu and Gray trembled at the same time, all the ferocity on their faces disappeared, and they made a posture of standing at attention. From what they looked like, they were almost terrified of Erza.

"It's the best if it's nothing." Erza nodded in satisfaction.

"Noah just came back today. Don't make trouble for me anymore."

"Love!" Natsu and Gray responded in unison, but the way they responded sounded like Harpy's catchphrase, which made Lucy on the side complain.

Noah, who watched this scene happen helplessly, couldn't help crying and laughing.

"I thought that two years have passed, and you have all grown up, but in the end, only your strength has grown?"

"You have changed a lot compared to two years ago." Erza looked at Noah and tilted her head. He said such a sentence as if he was a little confused.

"It feels like the atmosphere has changed compared to before."

"Does Erza feel this way too? I thought I was the only one who felt this way!" Gray scratched his hair, looked directly at Noah, and there seemed to be some doubts in his eyes.

"It feels like it's more dangerous than before...how should I put it?"

Hear Erza and Gray's words. Noah just smiled and didn't answer.

Noah knew why Erza and Gray felt this way.

Because, Noah has indeed changed, and the change is not small.

In the world of "Dark Bullets", he played games with sophisticated politicians, and he also saw enough of the dark side of human nature. Coupled with the experience of "Absolute Double Blades" and "Night of the Magician", Noah compared himself with two years ago. Looks really changed.

If we say that Noah two years ago can only be regarded as just finished sharpening. Extremely sharp sword, then, now. Noah's sword has been covered with enough blood, and it is no longer a simple weapon.

This is the so-called experience.

This experience has made Noah, who was originally soft in life, stronger, and his heart has become much tougher than at the beginning. In addition, Noah now has more of a true hidden truth than two years ago. Without showing any murderous intent, it's no wonder that Gray said something like "it's more dangerous".

"By the way, Noah." Happy, who flew to Noah's side, glanced at Noah's back. He opened his mouth suspiciously.

"Where's your sword?"

After what Habi said, Erza, Natsu, and Gray remembered this incident.

"Of course the sword is put away." Noah replied perfunctorily.

"I learned a little trick similar to "dress-up magic". Being able to store weapons in an invisible space is not missing. Don't worry."

The group of people was relieved.

"Okay, let's rest in this town for the time being today!" Erza stepped forward, giving orders as it should.

"Tomorrow, we will return to Magnolia!"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in succession.

But at this time, Naz jumped in front of Noah, staring at Noah excitedly, with a passionate smile on his face.

Raising one hand, Natsu's fist ignited a hot flame with a bang, illuminating Natsu's excited face.

"Noah, I have become a lot stronger in the past two years!"

"Really?" Noah met Naz's excited eyes, raised his eyelids, and suddenly smiled.

"Then let me tell you, I have never been negligent in the past two years, and I have become much stronger than two years ago."

"We made an agreement at that time, right?" The flame in Natsu's hand became more and more violent, and his mood became more and more surging.

"When we meet again, we must fight it out again!"

"Isn't it?" Lucy said speechlessly after hearing Natsu's words.

"Are you still going to fight?"

"Naz, let's stop fighting." Happy advised quickly.

"Noah is very strong."

"Are you really an idiot?" Even Gray couldn't help but groan.

"An opponent that even Erza can't defeat, what else do you want to do?"

"Isn't this good?" Erza held another opinion and looked at this side with a smile.

"Naz has also become much stronger than two years ago, and has always wanted to defeat Noah, Noah, you just give Naz a chance!"

"Elusha?" Lucy looked at Erza in surprise.

"Isn't it? Really want to fight?"

Compared with Lucy who was surprised, Gray seemed to understand and gave up persuading. Even Happy hung his head and stopped persuading.

"Hi, Happy." Lucy said involuntarily.

"Are you really going to stop persuading Naz? That's an opponent that even Erza can't defeat!"

"There is no other way." Happy sighed.

"Naz has always wanted to defeat Noah since before. Apart from finding Ignir, Naz's biggest dream is to defeat Noah. Therefore, such a Naz, even the president can't persuade him."

"No way?" Lucy finally felt worried.

"Everyone is a partner, don't be like this."

Ignoring the discussions of the partners around him, Noah looked at Naz who was staring at him persistently, and smiled dumbly after a while.

"Natsu, don't be so anxious, don't you think it would be a waste to fight now?"

"Waste?" Natsu was stunned.

"Look, you all say that even Erza can't do anything to me, but in fact, Erza is an S-class mage, and I'm just an ordinary guild member." Noah smiled slightly.

"So, Natsu, why don't we delay our duel until after we all become S-rank mages?"

Natsu's eyes lit up immediately.

"That's a good idea." Erza nodded in agreement.

"Both Noah and Naz still have room to grow. They will definitely be stronger than they are now when they become S-class mages. If they confront each other at that time, it will definitely be much more exciting than it is now."

"I think so too." Noah looked at Naz with a half-smile.

"Natsu, what do you think?"

"Let's do it like this!" Natsu agreed without hesitation, and laughed out loud.

"Good! I'm already burning!"

"S-class wizard?" Gray seemed to be infected, and stretched out his fist at Noah.

"Don't forget, there's me!"

Noah smiled without saying a word, just stretched out his hand and touched Gray's fist, everything was kept silent.

Seeing these three boys, even Erza and Lucy were touched.

"What should I do?" Lucy bit her finger pitifully.

"I really want to join them."

"No, you can't." Happy said without hesitation.

"Lucy will definitely not be able to become an S-class wizard."

"What are you talking about?" Lucy muttered dissatisfied.

"I'm strong too, okay?"

Erza's eyes swept over Noah, Naz, and Gray, and she was surprisingly gentle inside.

"The relationship between boys is really great..." (to be continued)
