Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 498 First Display of Skill (First Update)

"Laxus!"

Everyone in the hall looked up at the blond man who had made the sound on the second floor and exclaimed in surprise again.

"This is another Dragon Slayer mage in the guild, the guild master's grandson, the S-rank Lightning Dragon Slayer Laxus Dreyar. Such powerful magic!"

Like everyone else, Jerry also looked up at the second floor and took the opportunity to sense the other party's magic power.

In terms of sheer quantity and intensity of magic power, this lightning-type Dragon Slayer mage's magic power is significantly higher than that of Erza, who is also an S-class mage, and is even very close to the level of Guild Master Makarov.

"Laxus, come down here and fight me!"

When Natsu saw Laxus appear, he burst into flames again.

However, Laxus merely glanced at Natsu before replying dismissively:

"Natsu, you can't even beat Erza, yet you want to duel me? You're overestimating yourself."

"What do you mean by that?"

Erza frowned immediately upon hearing this.

Despite both being S-class, Laxus's words clearly implied that he didn't take her seriously.

"What I mean is, I'm the strongest in the entire guild!"

Laxus pointed to himself without any hesitation.

Natsu was furious upon hearing this. He jumped onto the table, pointed at Laxus on the second floor, and shouted:

"Come down if you dare!"

"Come on up if you dare."

Laxus beckoned to Natsu in a provocative gesture.

"Come on up!"

Natsu leaped with all his might, intending to jump directly to the second floor to fight Laxus.

However, he had only jumped halfway when a huge fist came crashing down from the sky, slamming Natsu directly to the ground:

"Only S-rank mages are allowed on the second floor. You are not qualified yet."

The one who knocked Natsu down was none other than the chairman, Makarov, who was sitting at the bar.

"Haha, you got scolded, didn't you!"

Seeing Natsu pinned to the ground by the guild master's fist and unable to move, Laxus was immediately gloating and burst into laughter, patting the second-floor railing.

He clearly knew this would happen; he had deliberately provoked Natsu to jump to the second floor.

"Laxus, that's enough!"

After Makarov knocked Natsu down, he looked up at Laxus on the second floor and gave him the same warning.

However, Laxus clearly ignored him, and loudly announced to all the mages in the hall below:

"I will not relinquish the throne of Fairy Tail's strongest, not mystogan, not Erza, and not even you, the newcomer!"

Finally, to everyone's astonishment, Laxus fixed his gaze on Jerry.

That implies that Jerry, Erza, and Mystogan are now considered to be on the same level.

Unlike other mages who thought Jerry only knew some support magic, Laxus, as an S-class mage, had clearly seen something from Jerry's ability to dispel Mystogan's sleeping spell.

Jerry, who was deep in thought at the moment, noticed that everyone was looking at him, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

He was just marveling at Makarov's ability to enlarge parts of his body and was thinking about how to get Makarov to teach him his giant magic. How did he suddenly turn his attention to him?

The key point is that he has no interest in competing for the title of the strongest mage in Fairy Tail; it's meaningless to him.

Jerry shrugged at everyone, then raised his hand and gave Laxus a thumbs-up on the second floor:

"You're the strongest, you're the best, you can bang your head against a wall!"

"Hmph!"

Seeing Jerry's attitude, Laxus felt a strange sense of displeasure, because he could sense that the other party's attitude was perfunctory.

"As a mage, you have absolutely no ambition. You're not even as good as Natsu. I really don't know why we even bothered to recruit a piece of trash like you into the guild. If this continues, the guild will be doomed sooner or later!"

Laxus stared at Jerry, launching into a vicious taunt.

"Laxus, shut up!"

Before Jerry could even speak, Makarov was already furious.

Not only because the Laxus Declaration's theory of the strong being supreme is completely contrary to Fairy Tail's guild philosophy, but also because Jerry is currently the biggest guarantee that the guild will not go bankrupt.

If Makarov angers Jerry and drives him away, even if Laxus is his grandson, he'll still beat him up.

"Everyone says you have a foul mouth, but I didn't know it was this foul!"

Upon hearing Laxus's taunt, Jerry's expression instantly turned cold.

He doesn't want to compete for the title of the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, but that doesn't mean he can let others mock and insult him at will.

Why did he study magic?

Isn't it all so that when faced with this situation, the idiot on the other end can calmly and properly talk to him?

"Oh, finally it's starting to look decent, but trash is always trash!"

Seeing Jerry's expression turn cold, Laxus's face showed some interest, and arcs of electricity gradually appeared on his body.

What he just said was perhaps an attempt to provoke the other party, so that he could have an excuse to test the other party's true strength.

Time magic, space magic, shadow magic, wind magic, flight magic, and now sleep magic, although Jerry has never shown any particularly strong power.

However, these are clearly not the kinds of magic that an unknown mage should be able to master.

The fact that such a mage suddenly joined the guild makes one wonder if he might have some ulterior motive.

Therefore, for the sake of the guild's safety, he wanted to test the true strength of this mysterious mage before embarking on the next S-rank mission, and also see if he could discern his true identity from some of his signature spells.

The mages of the Dark Guild are now making their move, so it's always better to be careful.

However, just as he was waiting for the other party to be provoked into launching some powerful magical attack so that he could counterattack, he suddenly felt his feet slip and, without realizing it, he disappeared from the second floor.

"What happened? Where's Laxus?"

The mages in the hall were stunned when they saw Laxus disappear from the second floor in an instant.

"Violence won't solve the problem. I think Laxus doesn't seem quite right in the head. Let's send him up to the sky for some fresh air, and then bring him down when he's sober."

Jerry's face regained its usual gentle smile.

He also gained some good inspiration after watching all the Marvel movies in the world of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

For example, Stephen's ingenious and unconventional use of portal magic.

He had just taken advantage of Laxus's inattention to open a portal under his feet, sending him high into the air, and then opened two interconnected portals at a fixed point as Laxus fell, causing him to repeatedly fall in the air.

If he remembered correctly, there didn't seem to be any information about flight magic in Laxus's intelligence.
