Chapter 323, One Year

One year.

A lot of things happened.

Makarov, who was originally retired, became the principal of the magic school at the repeated request of the Council. After all, although this old man did not master almost all the magic in the world like Zeref or Preshito, he was also a magic encyclopedia compared to others.

Fortunately, the magic school was not the Fairy Tail Guild, so it would not disturb Makarov's retirement. Looking at the eager and admiring eyes of those children, Makarov still agreed.

"It seems that my life is a life of hard work." Makarov smiled and shook his head.

Gildarts took Kana and completed the ten-year mission, which made Kana have a very high evaluation. In other guilds, it would be no problem to become S-level, but unfortunately in the Fairy Tail Guild, Kana still has no hope of becoming S-level.

However, don't underestimate Kana who has experienced this experience, and don't underestimate Gildarts's personal teaching.

Cana's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. She is known as the "Queen of One Palm" in the outside world. It is said that she can defeat any enemy with one palm.

There is no news about Laxus and Lisanna, but everyone knows that the two have already mastered a special attack. Laxus's strength may have taken another step forward.

Also, before leaving, the five dragons gave Laxus the secrets of dragon-slaying magic and relevant information about dragons.

No matter how proud they are of their sons, they have to admit that Laxus is the strongest and most powerful in using dragon-slaying magic.

After this precipitation, Laxus's strength is unpredictable. Even if he is close to "ultimate", everyone still believes it.

Erza, Simon and others traveled for half a year, and then practiced alone.

In the next half a year, Erza's deeds were not circulated in the magic world, because after accepting Yefrett's advice, she decided to integrate all her armor and moves.

No longer changing armor according to the characteristics of the enemy, but borrowing the characteristics of the second magic to directly create the strongest set of armor.

Erza's second magic is also to summon a set of armor, but the difference is that this set of armor and weapons have the ability to evolve infinitely.

Each set of Erza's armor has different functions. If it can be completely copied or even upgraded to the same set of armor, then this set of armor that combines the abilities of all Erza's armors can definitely be called the strongest armor in the world.

Emily still did not step out of the third level of fraud magic after all. This has nothing to do with talent, but innate limitations.

Fraud magic is like this.

It is difficult to get started, and even if the bloodline is not right, you can't get started.

It is difficult to use after getting started. Although the two users of fraud magic, Yevlit and Emily, have shown super-standard combat power, in fact-when using magic, both of them are crazy calculating in their heads.

And the upper limit is also fixed.

Emily's fraud magic will develop more functions in the future, and her skills and proficiency will improve, but the essence of magic can no longer be changed and upgraded.

Including Yevlit, he has indeed developed the third level, but it is only a big move that can only be used once in a lifetime.

After using it, he will still be limited to the second level, and may not have the opportunity to increase the upper limit of magic in the future.

Of course, that big move is also similar to the Wu Yue of Yijigu. It is invincible when it is taken out and can face the gods directly.

Yevlit does not want to become a god, or Yevlit does not want to exterminate mankind and destroy the world in order to become a god. If he wants to become a god, then the godhood must be the God of Destruction. Therefore, this big move will be used briefly once, and after solving the troubles of Acnologia and Zeref, he will seal it.

Even Yevlit can't find more ways out.

Emily can only accept the reality. At this stage, she really can't find a way to improve her strength except for improving her proficiency and magic.

Fortunately, Yevlit comforted her. Even if it is only the strength of the top four of the Saint Ten, it can play a huge role in the next battle.

Emily returned to normal.

Seeing that Emily recovered, Yevlit also took Mirajane and Turtledove away from her journey.

Igneel left after traveling with Natsu for half a year as agreed. He had given everything to Natsu. Next, Natsu had to digest it.

Lucy watched Natsu grow up and sighed.

There was a chance, but she didn't cherish it.

When fighting the Gate of Hades, Yevlit told her that as long as she destroyed Aquia's key and summoned the Elf King, Yevlit would guarantee to turn the Elf King into a helper who could be summoned at any time like an ordinary Star Spirit.

But Lucy didn't want to destroy Aquia's key. Although Yevlit said that Aquia's key could be repaired, Lucy still didn't agree - not because she didn't trust Yevlit. If Lucy was the most trusted person in this guild, it was not Natsu, whom she liked, but Yevlit who often deceived her.

But - destroying the key, Lucy would never do such a thing. This was her bottom line and principle as a Star Spirit Wizard. She would never hurt the friendship with the Star Spirits in order to enhance her strength.

So

Lucy, whose strength could not improve, could not help but feel complicated when she saw Natsu's strength increasing every day.

She wanted to catch up, but the upper limit of the second magic was there.

It's OK against ordinary magicians, but it's hard for her to use it against rule-based magicians or stronger magicians, such as Saint Level 10.

The Star Spirit Magic is limited by her own strength and cannot exert stronger power.

The mecha of the second magic, although it has the function of repairing and the lower limit is higher than Erza's armor, does not have the ability to upgrade continuously.

"Why can't the two be combined?" One day, Natsu looked at Lucy with a melancholy face, and after learning about her distress, he said: "Everyone can completely integrate their own magic and contract magic, why can't Lucy integrate the two magics?"

"How can this be done?" Lucy looked confused.

"Borrowing power or something" Natsu said.

"Yes!" Lucy suddenly realized.

After Lucy combined the two magics, she fought with Natsu.

Natsu lost

He scratched his head and said, "Lucy, now you won't be at a disadvantage even if you fight Erza."

"Hehe, no." Lucy was very happy and proud. It was the first time she defeated Natsu.

However, she didn't get carried away. After all, she only defeated the normal Natsu.

The abnormal Natsu's output ability is at the level of explosive.

No matter how strong Lucy's new form is, she can't withstand the output of a fist.

"But. Enough." Lucy was very satisfied. She wouldn't drag her feet anymore!

Gin also traveled with Gray, but after only three months, he emptied his knowledge.

So he ended his teaching to Gray earlier than planned and returned to Magnolia.

However, before returning, Gray did a big thing.

Gray has always been low-key, mature and steady-except for things involving his companions. In short, he is not a person who likes to publicize his private affairs everywhere.

The three finally came to a flower farm.

Gray rented this place.

The first day of moving in.

He asked Juvia to stand in the middle of the flower field, and then knelt on one knee.

"Juvia, please marry me."

"Lord Gray." Juvia was so moved that she almost fainted.

Silver witnessed the process of his son's proposal, and his face full of vicissitudes could not help but reveal a look of relief and nostalgia.

Gray has really grown up.

And this scene also reminded him of when he and his wife were still young.

"I do!" Juvia hugged Gray excitedly.

Gray's proposal was successful, and Silver stopped being a light bulb and left early the next morning.

Although the father and son were still complaining about each other before parting, when they turned their backs.

Gray still said: "Bon voyage."

"Got it." Silver replied, with a slightly satisfied smile on his lips.

Next.

Gray and Juvia blended with ice and water, and thoroughly understood each other.

However, they still paid attention to not causing any deaths.

After all, he and Juvia were the main forces in the next battle.

After this battle, Gray and Juvia got to know each other better, almost reaching the level of perfect tacit understanding.

The strength of the two sides' joint efforts was strengthened again, and one plus one was far greater than two.

Not long after the guild was disbanded.

Alba Green gave birth.

It was a girl, named Erin.

When Alba Green came out of the ward, Elfman took the property certificate and proposed to Alba Green.

Alba Green naturally agreed.

However, if they want to get married, they still have to wait until everyone returns to the guild.

Gajeel and Levy, Stinger and Yukino, Rogue and Lucky, also got to know each other deeply without any surprise.

Gajeel did not think that the next war would be so harsh that Levy would have to fight desperately.

According to the time - the time when Luna and other children traveled back, the birth time of their future child Virgil was deduced.

Gajeel learned from this that Levy was pregnant in this year, so he did not take precautions.

Levi didn't refuse, after all, what if the timing was wrong and her future child Virgil disappeared.

She liked that child very much.

As for Yevlit,

after he separated from Emily.

He got his dream and realized it completely.

He took Mirajane and Turtledove, hiding his identity, and traveled all over the Kingdom of Fiore as a street magician.

Occasionally he would meet members of the guild, but he didn't take the initiative to expose himself.

The one-year deadline was getting closer and closer.

Early in the morning.

A ray of sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains.

"Hmm?"

Lucy made a comfortable sound.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Natsu lying in front of her, sleeping soundly.

"What a terrible sleeping posture"

Lucy couldn't help but laugh.

Generally speaking, her sleeping posture is still quite good. What does it look like when she covers herself with a quilt at night? At most, she turns sideways when she wakes up in the morning.

But Natsu. Generally speaking, his sleeping posture is not good.

When they first got together, Lucy was often kicked off the bed by Natsu suddenly.

Later, she didn't know how she got used to it. She could actually accurately grasp Natsu's hands and feet while sleeping, and then skillfully manipulate his limbs to hug herself - the whole process was unconscious and did not disturb her sleep at all.

Natsu was shocked by this: "Lucy, you can do magic."

Lucy was speechless: "I am a wizard."

"Puff." Thinking back to the funny things at the beginning, Lucy couldn't help laughing.

Lucy stretched out her white fingers and poked Natsu's cheek.

"Huh?"

Natsu woke up and came up to Lucy when he saw her.

"Hey, you wuwu." Lucy couldn't refuse at all.

Natsu didn't care that Lucy looked reluctant. If she was really reluctant, she would capture him in a second - don't underestimate Lucy's strength. She can defeat many wizards with her bare hands now.

It took a long time to let go.

"Really, I haven't washed yet." Lucy complained.

"But Lucy is fragrant and sweet." Natsu said.

"Huh." Lucy hummed happily and sat up.

Natsu also stood up and opened the curtains.

"You didn't forget, Natsu, today is the opening ceremony of the Grand Magic Fighting Performance." Lucy said.

"Of course, the organizer also invited us as mysterious guests." Natsu said.

This year's Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts invited Natsu and Lucy as mysterious guests, so the two arrived in the capital.

"We have to hurry to the venue. The noisy sounds over there are coming. It will be bad if we are late." Lucy said.

"I don't know if Wendy will come." Natsu said.

"Do you miss Happy?" Lucy asked.

"I have never been separated from Happy for such a long time." Natsu said a little unhappy.

When Igniel left, Happy also left.

He was worried about Wendy and Xia Lulu's trip. In fact, everyone knew that this was an excuse. Anyway, he went to travel with Wendy and Xia Lulu.

It has been nearly half a year since they separated, and Natsu missed Happy very much.

"The Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts, such an event, everyone must want to come and see it, and Wendy also likes to join in the fun." Lucy comforted.

"We didn't participate this year." Natsu said.

"If we participate this year, it will be too bullying." Lucy smiled.

"Get up." Natsu got out of bed and said, "Wash your face first, I'll go downstairs to get breakfast."

"Okay." Lucy nodded.

When Lucy was done with her dawdling, Natsu, who had already had breakfast, came back with breakfast.

After breakfast.

The two went to the scene of the Great Magic Battle hand in hand.

"Huh?"

Natsu suddenly sniffed.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked in confusion.

"The smell of Yevlit." Natsu said.

"Yevlit is here to join in the fun." Lucy smiled and said, "It's been a year, and I don't know how that guy is doing, but there shouldn't be any changes."

"The smell is too mixed, I can't smell it." Natsu shook his head.

This is the main street of the capital, and it's the Great Magic Battle period, so there are so many people. It's already very impressive that Natsu can smell Yevlit's smell, and it's unlikely to find it accurately.

"Let's go. When we appear as guests, Yefrit will come to us." Lucy said.

"That guy... I'm afraid he won't." Natsu was speechless: "His deception magic must have sensed us, but he didn't come to us, and he won't come to us after that."

"Maybe something delayed him." Lucy smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. There's no rush. Yefrit can't run away."

"Huh, it's like someone is looking forward to seeing him." Natsu snorted and took Lucy away.
