Chapter 338 Brotherly Respect and Sisterly Humility
The Land of Mavis's Rest: "Whether it was the fearlessness in the first round against Gildarts, or the opportunistic and preemptive strike in the second round."
Holding the S-rank mage certificate bearing the guild crest, Makarov looked at the blonde girl who had arrived first and praised her, "Lucy, you did a great job, far exceeding my expectations."
His earnest words were filled with deep emotion.
When Lian Chess heard the news, he was incredulous, let alone him.
In just a few months after joining the guild, he went from a newbie who was generating a lot of buzz to an S-rank mage who surpassed many top contenders.
Moreover, it wasn't due to so-called luck, but rather to hard skills and precise, sharp thinking abilities that even Gildarts acknowledged!
In this respect alone, Lucy has already broken the guild's record for "fastest S-rank mage to be promoted".
The previous record holder was Chase, who spent a year becoming an S-class player.
Even after receiving the S-class honor certificate from Makarov, Lucy was still in a state of disbelief and disbelief, her expression blank.
Did Wadasi really do it?
See that, Chess? Woohoo! You didn't let me down, you really did it!!
The bright, shiny "S" on the certificate cover finally made Lucy realize that this was something that had actually happened to her.
A surge of joy and excitement welled up inside me, turning into a mist that blurred my vision.
She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't get too excited, Lucy. In our guild, becoming an S-rank mage is just the first simple step," Makarov coughed, speaking earnestly. "Without the corresponding unwavering will and the mental fortitude to handle numerous troubles, you'll suffer greatly!"
"Yes, President! I will work hard and definitely won't let Fairy Tail down!"
Lucy held the certificate of honor tightly to her chest, a determined look shining deep in her beautiful eyes.
She is now full of energy and has enough confidence and courage to face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.
"Well, that's not wrong, but you seem to have misunderstood me a bit."
"In short, there's no need to put unnecessary shackles on yourself just because you're an S-class mage; that will only hinder your progress."
The moment those words left his mouth, Makarov's expression changed slightly, a look of helpless despair appearing on his old face.
Deep in his mind, an image of Chase, Gildarts, and his grandson Laxus, standing on the ruins of a dilapidated town, laughing maniacally, subconsciously surfaced.
I vaguely remember that when those three troublesome bastards were promoted to S-rank, he seemed to have said something similar—
Lucy probably won't turn out like them, right?
Old Ma prayed silently in his heart.
"So what do you mean?" Lucy tilted her head and blinked in confusion.
Makarov suppressed his worries, smiled without saying a word, and silently pointed behind Lucy.
Lucy turned around, puzzled, and was so shocked by what she saw that her hair stood on end.
"Aaaaah! You damn Lucy, come and settle this with me!"
"This is so annoying, feed Lucy! Even if the assessment is over, the battle we didn't finish earlier must continue!"
"Lucy, radiating masculinity, looks incredibly worthy of a challenge—a true man!!"
"You were just one step away from getting closer to Laxus, Lucy. Don't expect me to let you off easily!"
"That damn blondie dared to steal Lord Gray's S-rank throne! Juvia will definitely show him the most terrifying hell!"
Amidst the swirling yellow sand, the defeated competitors charged forward with overwhelming force, creating a magnificent and chaotic scene.
"Tonic, tonic! So many people will die, they're definitely going to die!" Lucy was so frightened that she turned and ran away.
With her arms raised and screaming in terror, she looked utterly spineless; where was the slightest trace of the dignity of the new S-class?
"That's right. As an S-class mage, you have to be prepared to accept challenges from others anytime, anywhere~" Makarov smiled slyly.
At the same time, the anxiety that had been hanging over me was completely relieved.
Lucy, in this state, seemed completely unrelated to Chase and his group of destructives. Impossible! Impossible! The charging crowd quickly caught up with Lucy, and in front of the tombstone of the first president, Mavis, a familiar daily brawl ensued.
Nazgray accused each other of not even realizing that Lucy was actually Gemini in disguise;
Juvia, with a perverted look on his face, was about to take off his clothes to cheer Gray on when Lisanna quickly stopped him.
Gajeel from the Abyss, enraged, sought out Freed for a one-on-one duel:
Even Elfman and Abba Grin, who were in the same squad, were arguing fiercely. Lucy, who was the target, escaped unscathed and crawled out of the melee with difficulty and a wolfish look on her face, her hair disheveled and a large shoe print on her face.
"Congratulations, Lucy! From now on you're a powerful S-class mage!" Mira walked over slowly.
"Thank you, Mira!" Lucy replied happily.
"It's just passing the test, don't look so smug."
Erza's sharp gaze swept over them, and she clenched her fist, stating the truth with a serious expression, "The true standard for an S-class mage should be the ability to put Natsu to sleep with a single blow!"
"I'm not getting carried away! Besides, putting Natsu to sleep with a single blow is way too difficult, isn't it?"
Towards the end, Lucy completely lost her confidence.
Because upon closer reflection, it seems that apart from the gentle Mira, whose situation is unknown, all the S-rank members of the guild, whether it's Chess, Laxus, or Gildarts, have a history of putting Natsu to sleep with a single blow!
"Oh dear, Lucy has only just become an S-rank, so it's acceptable that such a rigid requirement cannot be met for the time being~" Mira said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. "There really is such a requirement!" Lucy glanced at Natsu, who was fighting with Gray, and suddenly felt immense pressure.
"No, I just wanted to see how Lucy would react." Mira's smile revealed her cunning.
......
The naive and easily deceived Lucy silently shed tears.
Just then, the sound of steel boots treading on rocks came from the cemetery passageway.
Two long, dark shadows, drawn side by side, stretched out in the slanting sunlight, leading all the way to the area where the group was.
The moment Lucy saw who it was, her tearful and dejected expression vanished, and a complex light flickered deep within her beautiful eyes.
Emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, such as being moved, joyful, excited, and proud, erupted like a volcano.
Subconsciously, she started walking towards one of them, her pace quickening until she couldn't help but jog.
"Chesgo, look! Look!"
"I did it! I did it! This is an honorary certificate personally awarded by the president!"
"Haha, well done! You truly are the sister I'm so proud of."
"Hehe, without Chess's trust, I definitely couldn't have done it on my own~"
"No need to be so modest. I've seen Lucy's hard work and growth. It's only natural that she was able to defeat Natsume and the others to become an S-class!"
Yes, the beautiful scene of the brother and sister embracing is Lucy's beautiful fantasy while running.
The truth is, after taking the final leap, she landed cleanly and neatly in the embrace of the earth.
Chase disliked the sticky, greenish plant sap on her body, torn between embracing his sister intimately and keeping to himself.
I decisively chose the latter.
Lucy, who had fallen flat on her face, had a big bump on her forehead. She sat on the ground, arms crossed and cheeks puffed out, sulking.
"Hey Lucy, congratulations! You've successfully advanced to S-class mage!" Chess said, suppressing a laugh as he walked over to offer his congratulations.
"...Go to hell, you damn card player!!" Lucy jumped up and delivered a Lucy Flying Kick.
Beside him, Gildarts looked sorrowful, and two streams of tears slid down his cheeks.
He wasn't moved by the scene of brotherly and sisterly respect before him, but rather suddenly remembered that not only Natsu and his friends knew about his charity work in Magnolia while he was dressed in sexy clothes, but also his beloved daughter, Cana!
The sky has fallen again.
"Alright, you little rascals! To celebrate the successful completion of the S-rank assessment, let's hold a banquet on Sirius Island!!"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Makarov's shout.
"Ooooooo!!!" *n
"A banquet! A banquet! A long-awaited banquet!"
The unfamiliar voices, filled with anticipation, mingled with the cheers of the crowd.
The noisy scene became quiet after a long period of fog.
