Uru, a renowned ice-type mage from the northern continent more than a decade ago.

He was hailed as having the strength of a Saint Ten, but tragically died young, sacrificing his life in a battle against Deliora, a demon ravaging the northern continent.

Urutia, Uru's daughter, is rumored to have died young.

However, Yan's investigation revealed that the situation was not as described.

Now, the other party has joined the dark guild Heart of the Demon and, together with his companions, infiltrated the council, becoming one of the nine council members.

After reviewing the two individuals' information, Yan rolled her eyes and returned to normal.

"They were a mother and daughter whose story is truly heartbreaking."

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

As Yan pondered this, she felt increasingly strange and conflicted.

So, why did Bits ask me to capture them?

Putting aside Uru, who has already turned to ice, the only interesting thing about Ultear is her magic that manipulates time.

Aside from that... the only thing that's acceptable about them is their appearance.

Could it be that bastard...?

Yan's lips twitched, feeling that he had guessed the truth.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to continue with the mission.

Uru is just a piece of ice; what good will it do to bring it back?

Urutia, on the other hand, has a long history of misdeeds and has done many wrong things.

If Bitt wants her, Yan has no objection to doing anything to her.

Having figured all this out, she put aside all distracting thoughts and immediately flapped her snow-white wings, traveling at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived above Galna Island.

Upon arriving over the destination, Yan did not rush to land immediately.

She looked down at the small island below and blinked in surprise.

"Oh~ someone beat us to it, and it was even a few acquaintances. This is interesting."

In her perception of Qi, several very familiar auras, which she had sensed not long ago, appeared in her perception.

Below, Natsu, Gray, and Happy, who had arrived a day earlier than Hihiko, were kneeling in a tent, bound by ropes, receiving a reprimand from Queen Erza.

"You're really capable. You actually took on an S-rank mission that was beyond your capabilities without the chairman's permission."

You two are prepared to be punished, aren't you?

Inside the large tent, Erza, leaning on her sword, spoke with a grim expression and a chilling tone.

Happy was almost scared to death by Erza's imposing presence.

Natsu and Gray were so intimidated by Erza's overwhelming aura that they huddled together, heads tilted back, trembling.

Swallowing hard, Gray felt he still had an explanation to offer.

"Wait, wait, Erza, listen to me."

I was ordered by the old man to come and take Natsu back.

I arrived too late yesterday, so I just stayed here for one night.

So if you're going to punish someone, punish Natsu and Happy. This has nothing to do with me!

"Hey, Gray, you bastard, don't try to push all the blame onto me."

I'd really like to do that, an S-rank mission!

Natsu angrily roared at Gray for betraying his teammate.

But Gray would never admit it at this moment, and turned his head away, pretending not to hear, and started whistling.

Seeing this, Natsu cursed inwardly, thinking that some droopy-eyed bastard was unreliable.

Seeing that Erza seemed to agree with Gray's statement, she fixed her cold gaze on him.

Natsu, determined to go all out, stood up and stubbornly said:

"Say whatever you want. I'll accept whatever punishment the old man gives me when I get back to the guild."

But now that I've accepted this S-rank mission, there's no reason for me to give it up!

Erza, whose face was already pale, immediately gripped the hilt of her sword and pointed the tip at Natsu's chest when she heard that Natsu dared to disobey her.

"So, you're saying you absolutely refuse to obediently go back with me?"

"Gulp~", Gray and Happy swallowed hard and moved to the side, afraid that Natsu's blood would splatter on them.

Although Natsu was terrified at this moment, his stubborn streak kicked in, and he retorted defiantly:

"That's right, no matter what you say, I'm not leaving!"

Perhaps still clinging to a last hope, he began to reveal his true feelings, opening his heart to his companions.

"You all saw that routine meeting, right?"

A newcomer, younger than me and having joined the guild less than a month ago, easily defeated Erigor, whom even we found challenging.

And then there's Yan, who uses the same magic as you; her strength is unbelievably powerful.

With everyone in other guilds being so powerful, how could I possibly have the mood to do those ordinary, low-level quests?

Only by carrying out more difficult and dangerous S-class missions can I continuously become stronger.

Finally, surpass (Zhao Haohao) you, surpass Gildarts, and become the strongest mage in the guild, and even in the entire Ishgar.

We, the mages of Fairy Tail, are the strongest and best guild on the entire continent!

Natsu practically roared these words, then nervously closed his eyes. From then on, he didn't care whether she lived or died; he had already tried his best.

(Thanks to reader "Obedient Wooden Man" for the many monthly tickets, and thank you for your support!!!) Happy Qixi Festival, Godfather! Wishing you a speedy end to your single status/marriage/children!!!

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 244 Persuading Erza, a familiar feeling!

Erza listened to Natsu's words, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts, which gradually drifted back to the routine meeting that day.

Although she knew that there were many people in the world stronger than her, there were very few people of the same age who could surpass her in strength.

But after witnessing Yan and Lucy's strength that day, her thoughts gradually changed.

Unbeknownst to her, a newly established guild had already recruited such a talented newcomer.

Although everyone is a member of a legitimate guild, there is still competition between legitimate guilds.

Every Fairy Tail member firmly believes that their guild is the best and warmest guild in the world.

Even though the guild leader never cared about the title of the number one guild, these kids couldn't let other guilds trample on them.

So even someone as carefree as Natsu and Happy felt a sense of urgency and wanted to improve their strength as quickly as possible by taking on S-rank missions.

They want to show everyone in their own way that Fairy Tail is still the most powerful guild in this kingdom and on this continent.

Thinking of all this, Erza slowly lowered her longsword, took a deep breath, and helplessly uttered two words.

"Fool."

Upon hearing this, Natsu cautiously opened his eyes a crack and glanced at Erza.

Seeing that he seemed to have been spared and even put down his sword, Natsu's face lit up with joy, and he was about to speak.

But the next second, Erza's expression changed, and she raised her knight's sword high and slashed down.

Gray and Happy, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were so shocked by what they saw that their hearts jumped into their throats and they screamed in fright.

Happy: "No!!"

Gray: "Wait, Erza!!"

Natsu felt he was doomed, and as he watched the knight's sword fall, time seemed to slow down relentlessly.

He could almost see Igneru waving at him, smiling and welcoming him to another world.

I'm going to die!!

As the last thought flashed through his mind, the longsword, gleaming with silver light, sliced across his chest, and Natsu's body fell heavily backward, his face still bearing resentment.

He could still hear Happy calling his name in anguish, but Natsu could no longer respond to his good friend, for he was dying.

"Natsu!!!"

Happy, tears streaming down her face, was about to pounce on Natsu when Natsu suddenly sat up from the ground.

"No, that's not right, why don't I feel any pain?"

He clutched his chest, feeling his heart pounding inside.

It took Natsu a while to realize that he hadn't been killed by Erza.

Instead, the rope binding him was cut into several pieces.

Looking up, Natsu gazed at Erza with a mixture of lingering fear and confusion.

Erza sheathed her sword and exhaled a heavy breath.

Seeing Natsu's expression, she crossed her arms and explained in a rather haughty manner:

"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you did it for the guild."

"Really?! Waaaaah~ Erza, you're such a kind person~~~" Having narrowly escaped death, Natsu was overcome with gratitude, tears streaming down his face. He was so moved that he wanted to rush over and hug Erza's leg to express his thanks.

But Erza stopped him by kicking him in the face.

"Don't give me that. Although I'm letting you off the hook, you'll still face the punishment you deserve when you return to the guild."

Now, go and untie Happy and Gray's ropes.

"Then I, as an S-rank mage, will lead you to complete this S-rank mission."

"Really, Captain Erza?"

Gray and Natsu both spoke with a tone of surprise.

Erza turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly and explained in a low voice:

"After all, you've already accepted the task and met the client."

If we just leave it there and leave, it won't be good for the reputation of our organization.

However, there's something I need to clarify: I'm not going to accept the reward for your violation of the rules. Do you have any objections?

"No, Captain!!" *3 The three responded excitedly in unison. For them, the opportunity to participate in and execute an S-class mission was the most valuable thing, while the mission reward was secondary.

Erza nodded with satisfaction, and Natsu quickly used his flames to burn through Gray and Happy's ropes.

Immediately, the three people and the cat knelt down in a circle, ready to share information and discuss how to complete the mission.

Just before the strategy meeting began, Natsu suddenly twitched his nose in the air and said in surprise:

"Strange, do you smell a very fragrant and familiar scent?"

"Sniff~ Is there?" Gray, Happy, and Erza also sniffed like him, but they couldn't smell anything.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Despite this, none of them doubted Natsu.
