Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

Mira had told her that only S-class mages could go up to the second floor, and today Natsu was stopped by the guild master when he tried to go up to the second floor.

Harpy said, "I just grabbed it."

Lucy's eyes widened: "Thief Cat!!"

Natsu put on his clothes and said with a grin, "This is our first S-rank mission. We got the cheapest one, but even so, the reward is 700 million J. If we succeed this time, the old man will acknowledge my strength."

"Wait... this isn't the same task Qi Yan was supposed to do the other day, is it?"

Lucy suddenly remembered that on the day Erza invited Qi Yan, Qi Yan went upstairs to get a mission, and she secretly glanced at him then, and it seemed to be this mission.

"Yes! There's only one S-rank mission on the second floor!"

When Harby went to steal the mission today, he discovered that there was only one S-rank mission on the second floor, which must be the S-rank mission that Qi Yan was going to do that day.

"No! You guys go and do this mission. What if Qi Yan finds out that you stole the S-rank mission...?"

Natsu nodded and laughed, "They'll definitely kill me!"

Harby agreed. Having spent half a year with Qi Yan, they both knew how dedicated Qi Yan was to S-class missions. As long as there was an S-class mission, Qi Yan would never do an ordinary mission.

He practically treated S-rank missions as his own private property. If Qi Yan discovered that he had stolen an S-rank mission, even if he wasn't actually killed, he would definitely be crippled.

Chapter 76 I'll Go Kill Them

"Huh?!"

Lucy was terrified: "You still dared to do it?!"

"If I don't do this, I'll never be able to complete an S-rank mission!"

"In short, if you two are going to do it, then you two do it; I absolutely will not go!"

Lucy refused, partly because the guild rules stipulated that non-S-rank mages could not undertake S-rank missions, and partly because she remembered how terrifying Qi Yan was, especially his 'tyrant' demeanor; just standing there was enough to scare her to death.

She couldn't even imagine the consequences if Qi Yan found out that she had secretly done his task.

"Tch, fine, I was even thinking of taking you with me. Happy, let's go."

Natsu and Happy jumped out of the window.

Lucy sighed helplessly. Natsu was really too reckless, even daring to secretly do S-rank missions.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep."

Just as Lucy turned around to go back to her bedroom to sleep, she saw a piece of paper on the ground next to her. It was the S-rank request that Happy had stolen, and she was immediately startled.

"What's this?!"

"Why didn't you take this paper with you?! Doesn't that mean I stole it?! What am I going to do?!"

At this moment, Lucy noticed that the reward on the commission letter included a golden key in addition to 700 million J.

Lucy quickly picked it up and examined it closely: "Really? It really can get the keys to the twelve zodiac gates?!"

The keys to the Zodiac Gates are of little use to other mages, but they are incredibly precious to Celestial Spirit Mages. There are only twelve Zodiac Gate keys in the entire world.

Unexpectedly, one of these weapons was among the rewards for this mission.

Lucy immediately ran to the window and called out, "Natsu—! Happy—! Wait for me!!"

"Oops---!!"

"President, the authorization letter on the second floor is missing!"

Mira takes stock of all the commissions every morning to ensure that no tasks are lost and could cause trouble for the commissioners.

This morning, as soon as Mira arrived at the second-floor commission room, she found the commission board empty. The S-level commission she had prepared for Qi Yan had disappeared.

This immediately made Mira nervous. Losing an S-class mission was no small matter, so she hurriedly ran down the stairs to report to Makarov.

"puff---!"

Upon hearing this, Makarov spat out the wine in his mouth, and the previously noisy guild suddenly fell silent.

Laxus's leisurely voice rang out: "Last night, I saw a cat, and it was being sneakily torn apart. Oh, and that cat had wings."

"Harpy?!"

If we're talking about winged cats, Happy is the only one in the Fairy Tail guild.

"So Natsu and Lucy were involved too?!"

"What are you thinking, you bunch of idiots? You've really messed up this time."

"They just casually go on S-class missions?!"

Everyone in the guild looked shocked. An S-rank mission is no simple task. It's a mission where a misjudgment could cost even an S-rank mage their life. In the guild, only S-rank mages, and even then, they need the guild leader's approval, to undertake such a high-difficulty mission.

Laxus said to Makarov, "This is a serious violation of our guild rules. They'll be kicked out of the guild when they get back, right, old man? Speaking of which, with that kind of mediocre skill, they think they can do an S-rank mission? They probably won't be coming back, hahaha."

Mira stormed up to Laxus and demanded, "Laxus, you knew the consequences, so why didn't you stop them?!"

Laxus argued, "I only saw a gust of wind blow by, a cat tore a piece of paper and ran away. How would I know it was Happy, or how would I know Natsu was going to do an S-rank mission?"

Mira glared at Laxus.

Laxus didn't seem to care at all: "Hey, it's been a while since I've seen you make that face."

Makarov asked Mira, "What mission is the missing piece of paper?"

He was attending a routine meeting when this task was sent to him. He had just returned and was dealing with the trouble caused by Qi Yan, so he didn't know what the task was.

"The cursed island, Karna Island."

Makarov's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "It's Devil's Island!!"

The guild members were all startled when they heard this. Demon Island was a very famous island, and it was said that real demons lived on it, hence the name Demon Island.

"Laxus, go and bring them back to me!!"

"What a joke! I'm going to start working now. A mage who can't clean up his own mess doesn't deserve to stay in our guild, right?"

Makarov never expected Laxus to use his own words against him.

At this moment, Mira suddenly remembered Qi Yan: "President! Qi Yan! And Qi Yan! This job was originally supposed to be done by Qi Yan, but you weren't here at the time, so he didn't go for the time being."

Makarov's eyes lit up as well. Qi Yan, that brat, was really keen on S-class missions. With Qi Yan's strength, capturing Natsu and the others would be a piece of cake.

"Sarushuk! Go and fetch Qi Yan for me immediately!"

Upon receiving the order, Salusuk immediately used his 'Divine Speed' magic to rush towards Qi Yan's home.

In the early morning, Qi Yan woke up, stretched, and felt refreshed. The fatigue from being drunk the night before was gone.

"The weather is nice today, perfect for doing a mission."

Qi Yan quickly packed his luggage and prepared to go directly to the guild to accept the mission and set off.

Just then, thump thump thump!

There was a rapid knock on the door.

"Who is it? Coming!"

Qi Yan was a little curious about who would come to see him so early in the morning. When he opened the door, he saw Salusuk standing outside.

"Sarushuk! What brings you here?"

"Qi Yan, the president wants to see you!"

"The president is looking for me?"

Qi Yan was a little confused, but he quickly followed Saursuk to the guild.

As soon as he arrived at the guild, Mira greeted him: "Qi Yan, something bad has happened! Natsu and the others have secretly gone off to do an S-rank mission."

"Let's do it. It's not a big deal to be an S-rank mission."

At that moment, he was still unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

"He did your S-rank mission?"

"What?!!"

Qi Yan's voice immediately rose.

His face then contorted into a ferocious grin: "Damn it! Do these guys want to die?! How dare they interfere with my mission?!"

His S-rank mission is crucial to his speed of becoming stronger. You can mess with anything else, but you can't mess with his S-rank mission.

"I'm going to kill them all!!"

Chapter 77: Another S-Rank

As Qi Yan spoke, he was about to rush out, which startled everyone in the guild. They felt that Qi Yan was really going to kill Natsu and the others.

Gray and Elfman quickly stopped Qi Yan. One of them hugged Qi Yan's waist, and the other stood in front of him.

"Qi Yan... don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!"

"Yes! Don't be impulsive! They don't deserve to die!"

Makarov broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Qi Yan say that. He knew how obsessed Qi Yan was with S-class missions, but he wanted Qi Yan to rescue people, not kill them.

Mira quickly said, "Wait! Natsu and the others went on the mission secretly, so it wasn't officially accepted. Therefore, it doesn't count as an S-rank mission. In other words, you can still accept this mission."

Qi Yan stopped when he heard Mira say this: "Really?"

"of course it's true."

"That's good, guild leader. I'm going to do that S-rank mission."

"Okay! I give my permission!"

[Ding! S-rank mission accepted: Save our island!]

Upon seeing the system notification, Qi Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If an S-rank mission had been lost like this, he wouldn't have killed Natsu, but he would definitely have taught him a lesson he would never forget.

"Qi Yan, this mission is entrusted to you. You must bring Natsu and the others back."

"Don't worry, President, I will definitely bring them back alive. As for whether their body parts will be intact, I'm not sure. Now, I'm off."

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and left with a sinister smile. Although he had managed to keep his mission, he couldn't let the matter of Natsu stealing his mission go so easily.

Qi Yan's words made everyone in the guild worry for Natsu and the others. Qi Yan was usually very easy to talk to and had a good personality. They never expected that his personality would change so drastically after being involved in an S-rank mission. This was too scary.

"Gray, you come with us. Keep an eye on Qi Yan and make sure he doesn't cripple Natsu."

Makarov was still a little worried. Qi Yan would definitely be able to bring Natsu back, but it wouldn't be good if he crippled Natsu and the others.

Upon hearing Makarov's words, Gray immediately agreed with great interest. He had long wanted to do an S-rank mission, and even if he didn't need to do anything this time, he still wanted to go and see.

Elfman went on an S-rank mission, which made him extremely envious.

Harugion Port

"Wow! I miss it so much! This is where we first met."

Looking at the familiar scenery, Lucy couldn't help but sigh, "I remember you destroyed this place so badly back then, but now it's all restored, except for Qi Yan's fist mark left on the cliff."

Natsu asked in bewilderment, "Didn't this happen just recently?! Is it really necessary to be so emotional about it?"

"Let's find a ship to Karna Island first."

When Natsu heard Lucy mention a boat, he was startled and said in a panic, "A boat?! No, no, aren't we supposed to swim there?"

The Iron Forest incident a couple of days ago still haunts Natsu. He has never traveled for such a long time before. The train was alright, he could barely bear it, but Erza's magical four-wheeled vehicle almost killed him.

Lucy looked speechless: "Your idea is the one that's really unreliable!"

The two immediately went to the port to find a boatman, but all the boatmen refused when they heard that Natsu and his companions were heading to Karna Island. The island of demons was so famous that even pirates hesitated to go there.

The last boatman said, "Although I don't know what you're going to do, there certainly won't be any boatmen going to that island anymore. Even pirates avoid that island."

"Oh no! What should I do?"

None of the boatmen were willing to go, so Lucy had no choice. Without a boat, she couldn't reach Karna Island, and without completing the mission, she wouldn't be able to get the Golden Key.

When Natsu heard that there was no boat going, he became happy instead: "We can just swim there!"

Upon hearing Natsu's words, the boatman couldn't help but exclaim, "Swim across? Are you trying to commit suicide? There are giant sharks in here!"

"I'm not afraid!! I'm going to roast it into dried fish! And then eat it!"
