All sorts of magic exploded at this moment, and the battle between Laxus and the three little girls was about to begin.

Makarov, standing at the forest entrance, frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, sensing the fluctuations of the battle taking place.

That little bastard Laxus is such a jerk, he doesn't play by the rules at all!

While fighting between examinees isn't prohibited, it doesn't mean you have to start fighting right away either. If that were the case, why not just set up an arena for you to fight in? Why design so many complicated rules?

Laxus has absolutely no consideration for an old man like me. I haven't slept well for days trying to make the S-rank assessment fun and engaging.

How come this kid broke all the rules the moment he arrived?

Makarov grumbled to himself, but he didn't intervene, since the fight was within the rules. He could only watch helplessly as these kids ruined the game he had designed.

By the time Eleven appeared near the battlefield, the fighting had already ended. Eleven, the examiner, was a bit late and hadn't even had a chance to catch up with the proceedings.

Eleven was originally deep in the forest, happily contemplating how to toy with the examinees. But no one came, no matter how long he waited.

Using his Spiritual Power to probe, he discovered that none of these idiots had ventured deep into the jungle; instead, they were gathered at the forest entrance, locked in a fierce battle.

Are they crazy? Didn't they understand the rules? Why did they start fighting as soon as they set off?

Eleven felt this might be the worst class of students he had ever taught.

Helpless, Eleven had no choice but to head towards the location of their battle. As an S-rank proctor, Eleven felt quite embarrassed that none of the examinees paid him any attention.

By this time, Laxus and his group had finished their battle. When Eleven arrived, he only saw Laxus standing there, leaning on his knees and panting heavily. Although he wasn't exactly in a miserable state, he looked quite disheveled.

Mira, Erza, Cana, the three girls, were charred and battered from the electric shock and lay unconscious on the ground.

If Eleven hadn't known they were all his guildmates, he would have almost thought some inhumane incident had just occurred here.

With his gaze returning to Laxus, Elivin had to admire Laxus's sheer audacity, actually confronting Mirajane and Erza head-on.

Even Eleven wouldn't normally dare to confront these two formidable women head-on. Although he often managed to beat them both up, that was only after resorting to various schemes, sneak attacks, tricks, and other despicable and shameless acts.

Perhaps a year or two ago Eleven could really beat Erza and Mira like children, but now he's really a bit powerless. Without some tricks, he really can't handle these two girls.

Laxus hadn't been back to the guild for almost a year, so he naturally didn't know how much Mira and Erza had improved. His impression of them was still that of Eleven, the Great Demon King, who fought six opponents single-handedly and was bound to suffer losses.

Moreover, Cana also joined the battle. Although she wasn't as formidable as Mira and Erza, Cana was no pushover either. She possessed more card skills than Mira and Erza combined.

So rather than saying Laxus won in a very embarrassing way, it's more accurate to say that Laxus actually won without suffering much damage, which shows that his experience over the past year has helped him grow a lot.

Laxus naturally sensed Eleven's arrival, panting heavily as he glanced at Eleven's location, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"Heh, Eleven, your prey has been devoured by me."

Eleven: "You're sick."

Laxus:

Laxus was slightly stunned by Eleven's retort. He hadn't argued with anyone for over a year, and Eleven's pace made him a little unaccustomed. It took him a while to come to his senses, realize that he must have been insulted, and let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, no one can be a hunter before me, not even an S-class mage like you, Eleven. Before me, you are nothing more than prey to be hunted."

As he spoke, Laxus was suddenly enveloped in rings of lightning, and fine dragon scales appeared on his arms. The Dragon Slayer Magic that he had kept Concealment when dealing with Erza and the others could now be used without any hesitation against Eleven.

"Yeah, you really are sick." Eleven looked at the neurotic Laxus in front of him, pondered for a while, and finally came to a conclusion.

Why would a test taker like you come here and compete with the invigilator for a job? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

What has Laxus been doing all year? It seems like his IQ has dropped again. Without me around to teach him, he's hopeless; he just gets dumber and more neurotic.

Gradually, Eleven's gaze towards Laxus changed from speechlessness to sympathy. It's not easy for a silly kid to live either; it's better not to bother with him.

"Sigh, Laxus, with your antics, it's hard for me, as the examiner, to approve you as an S-class mage." Eleven shook his head, putting on his proctor's face again. Even though Laxus was the only fool left, Eleven decided he still had to do his job conscientiously.

However, it was clear that Eleven's words were not only useless, but also enraged Laxus. Eleven becoming an S-class before Laxus was already a deep-seated resentment for Laxus, and now he was even lecturing Laxus with the air of an examiner. With Laxus's short temper, how could he possibly tolerate that?

"I don't need your approval. As long as I can defeat you here, I'll naturally be S-rank." Laxus's expression instantly darkened. He was so enraged that he couldn't even muster any special expression.

Without a word, Laxus unleashed a thick bolt of lightning with "Lightning Dragon's Roar."

Although Eleven was talking trash, he was also paying close attention to Laxus's words. The moment Laxus opened his mouth wide, Elaine had already leaped into the air and dodged into the air.

The spot where Eleven had just stood was instantly engulfed by lightning. A thick bolt of lightning pierced through the forest, turning everything in its path to charcoal and creating a vacuum tunnel about a kilometer long in the dense jungle.
