Cobra, whose real name Erik, was once a slave trapped in the Tower of Heaven, just like Erza.

Unlike Erza, Erik did not escape the Tower of Heaven after the uprising, but stayed after being tricked by Jellal.

Of the six Oración Seis, four share a similar fate with Erik. They are the four most magically gifted children in the Tower of Heaven. Each of them has a simple yet persistent wish, and the power of magic comes from the desire deep within their hearts.

However, Jellal didn't need his subordinates to be particularly powerful, so he chose to make a secret deal with Erik and his three companions and Brain.

From that day on, Erik became Cobra, one of the Cobra Oración Seis, a name derived from the ancient language pronunciation of cobra.

Brain helped Cobra awaken his own magic and implanted a Poison Dragon Magic Crystal into his body, turning him into Poison Dragon Slayer.

Although Brain and his Oración Seis had done many bad things and killed many people, Erik still respected Brain. For these teenagers who had crawled out of the Tower of Heaven of Paradise, being able to learn magic and have a full meal was already enough. They had no time to feel compassion, remorse, or blame themselves for the bad things they had done.

However, his relationship with Brain was limited to this, far from being intimate. Erik himself knew that Brain was only using them and had no real feelings for them.

So even though Brain sent them to the battlefield to fend for themselves, Erik had no complaints. He was confident that he would survive and truly become one of the Oración Seis.

Until Erik met the man named Elizabeth again.

This despicable man not only easily shattered his prized Dragon Slayer Magic, but also kidnapped his closest companion, Cubellios.

However, Erik was deeply attracted by the man's free and unrestrained style of doing things, which made Erik had always been like a puppet, feel envious.

"Perhaps this is the secret to Elizabeth's strength!" Erik thought to himself as he followed behind Elizabeth.

Erik wanted to learn more from Elizabeth, and before he completely lured Cubellios away, it would be good to learn a bit more about his free-spirited way of doing things.

Then... he was knocked unconscious!

Eric was knocked unconscious with a "thud" on the back of his neck. In his last moments of unconsciousness, Erik saw Elizabeth's eyes, which were gleaming with a ghostly light.

You shameless bastard! You actually tried to kill me to silence me just to kidnap Cubellios?

"Hmm"

Erik slowly opened his eyes on the hospital bed. He seemed to have just had a long and nauseating nightmare, which left him with a splitting headache. His vision gradually focused, and all he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

"You're awake? That's wonderful! From today onwards, you're a girl. How does it feel?" Elizabeth's familiar voice came from beside her.

Erik:∑???

He instinctively tightened his legs, and thankfully, that thing between his legs still seemed to be there; he had just felt it!

Erik breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he suddenly came to his senses. Why was Elizabeth here? He instantly became alert, jumped up from the hospital bed, and overturned a number of bottles and jars.

Turning to look in the direction Elizabeth had just spoken, Erik realized that Elizabeth's words were not directed at him.

Elaine and Makarov were standing beside another hospital bed, on which sat a girl with short purple hair. The girl had delicate features and a slender figure, and seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Although she looked very weak and powerless at the moment, it was certain that she was a beauty in the making, no less than Mira or Erza.

The moment Erik saw the girl, he froze, his heart pounding, and his face flushed red.

That's right, this is the feeling of your heart fluttering!

"Ah, you're awake too. Why can't you just behave yourself? You have to destroy things!"

Eleven turned to look at the startled Erik, frowning slightly in annoyance. He knew that while this was Fairy Tail's infirmary, almost all the medicines were prepared by Ms. Porlyusica. If she knew that a large portion of the medicine had been smashed because he and the old man had carelessly left it lying around, she'd probably throw a tantrum.

We need to pin the blame on Snake Petter immediately, and absolutely not give him any chance to defend himself!

Erik ignored Eleven's attempt to pin the blame on him; he had no time for the broken medicine bottles and his eyes were fixed on the purple-haired girl. For some reason, the girl gave him a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Is this what they call a destined connection?

"Hey, Snake Petter, that's enough. Stop staring at people like that!" Eleven stepped forward and blocked Erik's view.

Erik kept staring at Cubellios with a lecherous gaze, making Cubellios quite embarrassed. Although they used to be best friends who slept in the same bed, Cubellios was now a girl, and staring at her like that was just being a pervert!

"My name is Erik, not Snake Petter!" Erik protested excitedly.

Eric had gotten used to being called "Snake Petter" by Eleven and was too lazy to argue. But for some reason, Erik didn't want to be called that in front of this girl anymore, so he loudly introduced himself and said his real name, not Cobra.

"Erik? I don't think that's your name before. What was it again?" Eleven frowned and said something pointless, earning Erik a glare.

"Um... excuse me, where is this place? And who are you people?" A soft, gentle voice weakly interrupted the eye-catching battle between Eleven and Cobra.

"This is Fairy Tail. Child, are you feeling alright?" Makarov quickly stepped forward and asked with concern. After all, he was the one who lifted the curse, so he naturally had to take responsibility for the child's physical condition.

"Fairy Tail? Why am I here? Hmm... I can't remember anything..." The girl murmured, rubbing her forehead, sounding slightly pained.

"What? You've lost your memory? Cubellios, do you remember me?" Upon hearing this, Eleven forgot about Erik and rushed to the bedside.

"What! She's Cubellios? Holy crap! Cubellios?" Erik was even more surprised when he heard Eleven's words. He shoved Eleven aside, squeezed to the edge of the bed, and began to examine her closely.

Eleven, naturally, couldn't back down. He was also concerned about Cubellios's well-being, and the two immediately started shoving and pushing each other around the bed, making the room noisy.

Suddenly, a hand as big as a fan swung out from the sky, sending the two jostling figures flying.

"You two, shut up!"

Eleven, used to being whipped by Makarov, was experienced and immediately began to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

Erik, however, was no longer calm. He hadn't failed to react to the old man's slap, but he was completely unable to retaliate. This seemingly ordinary blow had left him too afraid to even move.

Where did this monster come from?

He just said this place is Fairy Tail? Could it be the Fairy Tail guild? And is this old man Makarov?

But why is Elizabeth here?

Isn't he an evil dark mage?
