Chapter 34 (1/2)

Three months have passed since the guild master meeting, and the long awaited Grand Magic Games is nearing.

Everyone took countless of hard jobs and train themselves, just so they could prove that Fairy Tail is still the strongest in country.

They have heard from Kagura about what happened at the meeting amd honestly, it made their blood boil.

Currently, Natsu was having a spar with Kagura in front of the guild.

”Well, well, you have improved so much Kagura, I guess that you have no problem fighting with some powerful S-class mages now,”

”Thanks, but it still not enough!”

Then, Kagura launched herself at Natsu as she adapts a pointing stance with her sealed-sword.

Natsu just smiled as he caught the tip of her sword with his palm, something that shock the sword-mage for a bit but she quickly reacted and sent a kick aiming at his face.

He was about to dodge when he felt gravity increasing surprising for a bit, causing the kick to hit him in the face.

”Well, that sure packs a lot.”

Kagura narrowed her eyes and continue attacking, slashes after slashes, kicks after kicks, all has been easily dodge by Natsu.

”Gravity Change.”

Though he's speed still decrease as he already find it hard to dodge every attack that Kagura sent and decided to block.

”Slashing Form.”

Kagura lunges at Natsu with her sword prepared to strike and slashes at a very high speed. Natsu could bȧrėly keep up with her attacks but still, he received no damage.

Kagura, noticing that she won't be dealing any damage to him, increase the gravity around him and decrease the gravity on her, increasing her speed several times.

Natsu can still dodge her attacks but it is much harder than before. Natsu's nose suddenly twitch as he felt someone suddenly appearing, he grabbed Kagura's sword and motioned her to stop.

Natsu glance at the person that suddenly appeared and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

”Why are you here, Mest?”

Mest just sighed and replied, ”The council is calling all the saints, I need you to come with me, It concerns the safety of Ishgar.”

Natsu frowned but still nodded his head, he glance at Kagura and said, ”Kagura, tell the guild that I'll be leaving for awhile.”

”Sure, take care of yourself, Natsu.”

”I will.” Natsu smiled before turning his head at Mest as he nodded, ”Let's go.”

”Grab on, the meeting will take place at Crocus, on the royal palace.”

Natsu grabbed his shoulder and frowned, he didn't expect for the meeting to take place in the royal palace.

'Could it possibly that the threat Mest is talking about, is centered around here in Fiore?'

He didn't have the time to ponder about it as Mest and him already teleported away from the guild, leaving Kagura alone, staring at the place where Natsu disappeared.
