Natsu was a little disappointed that he couldn't get any news about Iguniru from Abel.
But in fact, he has gotten used to it.
So I quickly adjusted my mood.
He also said carelessly that he wanted to fight Abel again. He was killed too quickly last time and his true strength was not displayed at all.
As for what Abel wants, Makarov also has a headache, because it is not something that can be obtained just by getting it.
Including the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal in his grandson Laxus's body was also found and implanted by his son Ivan at great risk.
Now that dragons are extinct, it is almost impossible to find such things.
He can't be allowed to dig out the Thunder Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal from his grandson's body, right?
So Makarov didn't dare to give a guarantee, he just said he would try his best to help find it.
Abel wasn't aggressive, so that was fine. As long as Makarov couldn't get the Dragon Slayer Crystal, he would always feel guilty.
At that time, there will be regression in many things.
After solving the problem on Abel's side, Natsu and Elfman had almost rested, and most of their magic power had been restored.
According to the original rules, only one person could pass the annual S-class magician assessment at a time.
However, due to Abel's special nature, a special test was added to him, and in the end, the original quota would naturally not be taken up.
In other words, there will be another spot for an S-class mage to be created between Natsu and Elfman.
And there is no fancy assessment content, just a simple one-on-one.
The advantages that partnering can bring no longer apply.
This is also to prevent someone from eventually becoming an S-class mage by relying on someone's lap. That would not only harm themselves, but also deceive other people in the guild.
Overall, it's pretty fair.
"Come on, Natsu!"
"Oh, don't worry, Happy. I'll win!"
Natsu was gearing up and couldn't wait any longer.
"I can't do anything to help you anymore, I can only rely on you now, Elfman!"
"Thank you, Abby Green. You have helped me a lot, and now is my battle. If you are a man, you must move forward bravely and win!"
Elfman looked determined, wanting his sister to see his growth.
Both of them have adjusted their condition and are ready for the final showdown.
"Who do you think will win?"
Makarov asked casually when he was idle.
After basically making sure that there was nothing wrong with the other party, and at least he had no ill intentions toward Fairy Tail, Makarov relaxed a lot.
Abel looked at Elfman, who had received the Soul of the Beast King all over the field and transformed into the Beast King, and Natsu, who was using the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.
He thought for a moment and gave his answer: "Natsu."
"Oh why?"
"Didn't the president realize it? It's obvious that Elfman's team got here after a hard battle, and Natsu looks not only full of energy, but he doesn't even have any injuries on his body."
"The reason why we delayed the final showdown until now is to buy Elfman as much time as possible to recover and make the battle fairer."
"But obviously physical strength and magic power can be recovered, but the injuries suffered before cannot be recovered in such a short period of time."
"Natsu in his prime beats Elfman who is half disabled, do we still need to predict the outcome?"
There is nothing wrong with Abel's analysis.
Makarov also acquiesced to this result.
Now that he had said this, Abel asked curiously: "So who is the opponent Natsu met in the second round of the assessment? How could he pass so easily? Isn't it because he was letting his guard down?"
Makarov's face looked unnatural for a moment, but he still answered Abel's question and said a name, "It's Gildarts. I don't know what happened."
"Gildas? Haha, that makes sense."
Abel smiled too.
Release water?
It's almost like letting it go to sea.
Basically, everyone who takes part in the assessment will be eliminated by default if they meet Kildas in the second round.
But not only did Natsu encounter him, he also passed through it smoothly, almost unscathed, and didn't even consume much magic power.
On the contrary, Erza and Mirajane both performed their duties very hard.
Looking at it this way, the seemingly fair assessment does not seem so fair.
As for Makarov's answer, I don't know what happened?
How can it be!
This bad old man even knew that Abel defeated Gajeel using the 'Ice Dragon Slayer Magic'.
Don't say that everyone else has a partner, just Natsu found Habi, which is considered to have given up this help.
That was Natsu's own choice, no one forced him to do it, right?
Abel didn't bother to watch the next battle.
Because the entire process, including the final result, was exactly as he predicted.
Even though Elfman performed superbly and suppressed Natsu with a blast from the beginning, the explosion was still short of breath and was ultimately defeated by Natsu's dragon-slaying magic.
However, Elfman, who fought with injuries, persisted until the end with amazing willpower, and was still a very manly man.
Abel admired him.
As for Natsu, who finally succeeded in being promoted to an S-class mage, Abel didn't think that Natsu didn't have the strength. It was just that Natsu could have done it in an upright manner, but was let go by Gildarts who said, "I'm justified no matter what." Hai's behavior was tainted and less fair and convincing.
Anyway, that's it, everything is over, and Abel won't complain about anyone.
no point.
Then everyone packed up and got on the boat to leave.
After returning to the Fairy Tail Guild, President Makarov also announced in public that the people who passed the S-class wizard examination were Abel and Natsu.
Immediately, the entire audience was filled with surprised expressions!
Mainly because these two names were somewhat beyond their previous expectations and guesses.
Especially Abel, almost before setting off, no one was optimistic that he would pass the assessment.
After all, he may have to face a joint assessment by two or even three S-class magicians, including a strong man like Gildarts.
But they just passed it.
Cheating?
Release water?
impossible
Well, if you ask, you will know. There are so many people.
It was okay not to ask, but I was shocked when I asked!
The new Abel actually defeated the three S-class magicians Gildarts, Erza and Mirajane? !
And it was acknowledged by President Makarov himself? !
I bought it!
This world is too crazy!
It's unbelievable.
But it’s okay not to believe it, after all, the facts are here.
Especially when Erza and Mirajane, who had returned from treatment, confirmed the incident, Abel suddenly became the most discussed name in the entire Fairy Tail guild!
