Fairy Tail: You call this celestial magic?

Moon was standing nearby, so he naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.

He took a step forward and held the girl who could no longer proceed to the next level in his arms. Erza was small in thin clothes, and her body had completely lost the strength to support it. She had obviously fainted. Her assessment was actually over.

The "pass" given by Laxus is actually a "consolation prize".

This was what surprised Moon. Laxus actually knew to give a "consolation prize" at this time?!

If it were before, Laxus would have given Erza an evaluation of "eliminated" with a cold face at this time, even if he recognized Erza's talent and strength in his heart, but she was still not up to standard.

Time passes and everyone changes.

Eighteen-year-old Laxus did not continue to become extreme, but instead seemed to be coming out of his rebellious youth.

Mirajane came closer and wanted to take Erza from Moon's arms. Although she and Erza had always been competing with each other, sometimes exposing each other's shortcomings and quarreling, she couldn't just leave Erza like this.

Besides, Erza was only wearing a tube top, and it was not very nice for her to lie in Moon's arms like that.

"Next one."

However, before Mirajane could speak, Laxus spoke up and took control of Mirajane.

Laxus didn't care about Erza. Anyway, Moon was here, so even if Erza fainted, there would be someone to take care of her.

"."

Mirajane was silent.

"Go ahead, Mira. You've already taken the test, so why not give it a try? I'll take good care of Erza."

Seeing Mira's hesitation, Moon spoke with a smile, encouraging Mira and telling her not to worry about Erza. With him here, Erza would definitely be fine.

"."

Mira looked at the smiling Moon with a strange expression. She didn't want to say that she was worried because Moon was here.

But as Moon said, now that she is here, she will definitely regret it if she doesn't give it a try.

Thinking of this, Mirajane didn't hesitate any longer and she soared into the sky.

Mirajane's hands kept attacking, and purple-black magic missiles were flying towards Laxus. The demon Mirajane received also used "dark magic", so her magic missiles made Moon feel very familiar.

Not only did Moon feel familiar, but Laxus also became famous by defeating Joseph Pola and earned the title of "Thor".

Seeing Mirajane's move, he naturally looked strange, but Mirajane's dark magic missile was far inferior to Joseph Pola's, and was not on the same level at all.

"boom!"

Laxus waved his hand, and the lightning "crackled" and collided with the dark missiles. Not only did he easily block the dark missiles, but the lightning also continued to hit Mirajane.

Mirajane's expression changed, and she immediately flapped her wings to dodge. Although she had initially just wanted to fire a few missiles as a test, Laxus's response was too easy, wasn't it?!

"There's really no hope of winning."

Mirajane accepted the reality. There was no other way. After witnessing the battle between Laxus and Erza just now, she had to accept the reality.

She also knew that what she had to do now was to show her strength as much as possible like Erza in order to gain Laxus' recognition.

Flying in the sky, Mirajane thought for a moment and stopped worrying about other things.

There is no point in wasting time. She is taking an exam and no one else will come to help her. She should just use her most powerful move now to let Laxus see her attack power. Maybe he will give her a "pass"?

"Boom!!!"

Thinking of this, Mirajane decided to use her ultimate move, just like Erza, and release her strongest magic at the moment.

"Ugh."

Looking at Mirajane who raised her hands high in the sky and continuously accumulated dark magic, Laxus sighed. Although Mirajane had good talent, she was much worse than Erza in all aspects.

Whether it's magical power, combat talent, combat experience, or even determination to fight, Mirajane is far behind Erza.

So Laxus didn't give Mirajane another chance. No one would give her a chance in a serious battle. He accumulated magic power to use a big move. Did he think that the enemies were all fools?

"Zizzizi!"

Laxus directly threw out a fast-moving ball of lightning, which drew a strange route and hit Mirajane in the air.

Mirajane, who was accumulating magic power to prepare for a big move, was interrupted directly. She had to interrupt it forcibly and pour out the magic power in her hand.

A torrent of dark magic poured out, but the lightning ball quickly jumped in the air, easily passed through it, and hit Mirajane directly.

"Zizzizi!"

The lightning ball hit her body with a crackling sound. Mirajane released her magic power to resist. Because of the overall improvement brought by the demon possession, the lightning ball did not cause her much damage.

On the other side, Moon, who was holding Erza, noticed that Laxus had indeed changed a lot. He didn't release much magic power in his previous attack, otherwise Mira would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"hateful!"

In the sky, Mira gritted her teeth. She was a very strong-willed person, and being defeated by Laxus in such a playful way made her feel ashamed. This was worse than Erza's! At least Erza's attack was not blocked by Laxus.

In a sense, this also directly shows the gap between her and Erza. Laxus has to take Erza's full-strength attack seriously, but Mirajane can't even use her ultimate move.

Under the current circumstances, Mirajane could of course continue to fight, but she also knew that if this was not a test, Laxus would have been able to inflict heavy damage on her.

"I lost"

Mirajane fell back to the ground and spoke in frustration.

"You couldn't win anyway."

Laxus said, and although it was true, it did hurt to say it, but he didn't stop yet.

"You're eliminated, Mirajane. You have a huge problem. You're far inferior to Erza."

Mirajane could accept the previous sentence "You can't win anyway" calmly, but Laxus's next sentence made her blush.

"Why do you say that?! How am I that bad?!"

Mirajane was a little unconvinced. Although she knew that she was a little inferior to Erza and she accepted this reality, wasn't Laxus's statement a bit too much?!

The phrase "far inferior to Erza" directly makes it seem like she and Erza are not on the same level. There's not that much difference between them, right?!

"Your problem isn't talent or strength. You're not much worse than her in those areas."

Facing the unconvinced little girl Mirajane, Laxus started to explain, and then he suddenly realized that he was the examiner and he had to maintain his dignity. Why should he explain to this guy who questioned him like a fool?

So, halfway through his words, Laxus simply shut up and stopped talking.

"?"

Mirajane stared at Laxus blankly, waiting for his next words, but Laxus just frowned and showed no intention of speaking.

"Then what? It's not these, what am I missing?!"

Mirajane asked a little frantically.

"You're not resolute enough, not focused enough. You don't have Erza's determination to risk everything."

Laxus didn't say anything, so Moon explained for him. He was watching from the side and actually noticed some of Mirajane's problems.

Mirajane was indeed not in good shape during the battle just now. Perhaps she was affected by the battle between Erza and Laxus. In short, she seemed to be just coping during the battle and was not in a combat state at all.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After watching the battle between Laxus and Erza, Mirajane has realized that she has no hope of winning. She even saw the gap between herself and Erza. It is difficult for her not to be affected.

But these were not reasons for her to be indecisive and have random thoughts during battle. She was too indecisive in battle, with too many useless movements and thoughts, and was far less focused than Erza in battle.

"."

After hearing what Moon said, Mirajane opened her mouth. She wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully, there was nothing to refute.

Some things may not seem like a big deal when they happen, and you may not even realize that there is a problem. However, as long as you reflect on it afterwards, you will find that something is wrong.

Mirajane was not a person who would just talk tough. After hearing what Moon said, she immediately understood her problem. She had indeed been thinking about a lot of random things during the battle and was not fully focused. She was indeed not as clean and efficient as Erza.

Laxus looked at Moon with a look of relief. Moon had indeed discovered these things. They were both on the same level.

"It's okay, these can be corrected slowly."

Moon didn't know what Laxus was thinking. He comforted Mirajane and said that these were just combat experiences and personal problems that could be corrected slowly.

In fact, in a sense, this also means that Mirajane does not seem to care too much about the "S-class wizard assessment". She would not be so absent-minded when dealing with matters involving Elfman and Lisanna.

'My family belongs to me.'

Moon complained in his heart, but "Family Man" is very suitable for their "Fairy Tail". Moon himself is also a "Family Man". If anyone comes to ask them about "Fairy Tail", he will definitely explode and beat the enemy.

"Leave Erza to me."

Facing Moon's comfort, Mirajane smiled freely. She accepted these problems and the reality that she was actually quite different from Erza, but these would not discourage her. Instead, they would make her work harder and make her more motivated.

Mirajane actually always knew in her heart that there was a gap between herself and Erza, and she always regarded Erza as her target. This was the main reason why she had been entangled with Erza.

Mira wants to become stronger so that she can better protect her younger brothers and sisters. Moon is too strong and he is a boy. Otherwise, her target would be Moon.

"Then leave it to you."

Morn nodded and handed the unconscious Erza to Mirajane.

Mirajane was not seriously injured and could still fly, so she could take Erza back to rest first. She needed more rest as she had consumed too much magic power, and she would be able to recover after a period of rest.

Chapter 179: Steps as firm as if going to the battlefield

"Paji!"

Cana simply fell to the ground without offering any resistance, and Laxus, who caused this outcome, had a blank expression on his face.

Joey was stunned for a moment, his muscles tensed, and then he immediately rushed towards Laxus, determined to lose on the charge!

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, Joey flew back, dizzy from a punch from Laxus. He called himself a "super muscular wizard", but when facing Laxus, he had no advantage even in physical strength, and coupled with the difference in magic power, he was crushed in all aspects.

After crashing into two trees, Joey got up from the ground with a grin on his face, rubbing his waist constantly, and could hardly stand.

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat. Laxus, why are you so rough with me? Are you bullying me because I'm strong?"

Joey raised his hands and simply admitted defeat and gave up. He couldn't fight at all!

I was really overthinking about getting Laxus's approval!

Although he is only one year younger than Laxus, the gap in strength is so great that even the shadow of the other can be seen.

"It's too far off."

Laxus shook his head. After testing Erza and Mirajane first, he tested the others. It was indeed disappointing.

Even Mirajane is much stronger than others. Laxus does not deny Mirajane's strength and talent.

Although Mirajane is slightly worse than Erza, that is because Erza is more talented, and compared to others, Mirajane becomes the more talented one.

Speaking of these two people, they were watching the battle at the side. Before Mirajane was about to take Erza away, she had already woken up. This was also a manifestation of her extraordinary talent. She was obviously exhausted so badly, but she woke up so quickly.

Mirajane was skeptical about this. She fainted when she was in Moon's arms, but woke up as soon as she was in her arms. Is this really a talent?

But it was really Mirajane who misunderstood Erza. When Erza just woke up and saw herself lying in Mirajane's arms, she almost jumped up.

That is, her body did not allow her to do so, otherwise she would have broken free immediately. Erza clearly remembered that she finally fell into Moon's arms, but when she woke up she saw Mirajane.

She stole a glance at Morn beside her, and her face flushed red. She was about to smoke. She knew that she had been lying in Morn's arms for quite a long time, and she was still wearing the cool "Clean Heart Clothes".

"It seems that only Moen can pass the test this time."

On the other side of Moon, Mirajane sighed. She had watched the assessment very seriously and had an understanding of Laxus's standards. She could say with certainty that it would be in vain for others to come, as no one would be able to pass.

"Looking at it this way, you two should actually be put a little further back in the test."

Moon smiled and said, he also found some problems.

If Erza and Mirajane were to be tested later, they might be able to get by with the help of their companions in front of them. It's not that the companions in front of them are weak, but at least they are still far from what Laxus requires.

Being weak at first and then becoming strong will definitely impress Laxus. This is a very normal thing and will add some points.

If they become strong at first and then become weak, it will only make Laxus more and more disappointed, and will also make other companions who take the test after them suffer. After all, Laxus will definitely become more and more irritable.

"Even if I pass the level, I won't accept it."

Erza, who was blushing profusely, said directly after hearing this that she did not need that kind of recognition. What she wanted was sincere recognition like the one she was getting now.

"You've been recognized. Although you haven't completed all the tests, you can still be considered a half-S-class wizard, right?"

Mirajane looked at Erza and said with some envy, but she herself couldn't even guarantee whether she could get recognition next year.

"It's okay. If it doesn't work this year, try again next year. If it doesn't work next year, try again the year after."

Moon smiled. Although he said so, if Erza failed to pass the S-class wizard examination by this time next year, he would question the authority of this examination.
