What's wrong with these kids? I have absolutely no idea why they're fighting. It's one thing for Eleven to have an unusual way of thinking since he was little, but why are all the brats around him so "extraordinarily gifted"? What exactly is that Fairy Tail guild teaching them?

Doug watched Lisanna and Gray arguing silently, sighed helplessly, and walked between them, trying to separate them.

"Brother Gou, don't interfere! I'm going to teach this arrogant brat a lesson today!" Gray shouted, jumping up and down as he glared fiercely at Lisanna and Elfman.

"Hmph, if you dare bully me, I'll go tell Mira!" Lisanna retorted, using the fiercest tone to say the most cowardly thing.

Gray: "Uh... calling for reinforcements is no skill at all. If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight!"

Lisanna wouldn't be stupid enough to fight Gray one-on-one, and stuck her tongue out at Gray menacingly.

After hearing Lisanna's words, Gray was clearly a little scared. Although Mira had only been there for a short time, the fear she instilled in Gray was no less than that in Erza.

Erza is actually just strict; she only gets beaten up when someone does something wrong. But Mira is simply short-tempered and protective. Whenever she's in a bad mood or her younger siblings are bullied, she'll beat them up without any regard for the facts!

Even Eleven and Laxus Gray had never been afraid, but their fear of these two female demons had become instinctive, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Fortunately, Doug spoke up at that moment, easing Gray's embarrassment. "Alright, alright, stop fooling around. I have something to tell you."

Doug's words immediately attracted the kids' attention. Gray was the most attentive, immediately ignored Lisanna and, like a curious child, came to Doug's side to listen attentively.

Lisanna glanced at Gray and curled her lip in disdain, but she was also curious about Doug had to say, so she didn't continue to provoke him.

Elfman, standing to the side, breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had been terrified the whole time, wondering what would happen if a fight broke out, as he was very afraid of pain.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Doug nodded in satisfaction and said, "First of all, I want to apologize to you all. Today's incident was all my fault. Actually, the werewolf you've been searching for should be... ouch!"

I don't know what's wrong with Doug today, but he never finishes a sentence. He was only halfway through his sentence when a hurried pedestrian bumped into him on the back with a thud, making him stumble.

Turning around, Doug saw an older woman knocked to the ground by the recoil, and he quickly reached out to help her up.

"Thank you. But young men, you'd better get away from here too. There are two little monsters causing trouble in the city center, they're terrifying!" The woman, still looking frightened after being helped up, seemed to have seen something horrible, and kept urging Doug and the others to leave quickly.

"A monster? Could it be a werewolf? I'll go check it out!" Gray perked up immediately upon hearing this and dashed off. Compared to what Doug hadn't finished saying, the werewolves here clearly interested him more.

"Hey, hey, don't run away! Come back here!" Lisanna was so angry when she saw that Gray had run off first that her cheeks puffed up, and she waved her little hands as she chased after him.

Elfman, following behind, was relatively calm, stroking his chin in thought, "Why are there two monsters? Are there two werewolves?"

Left behind, Doug watched in anguish as the kids vanished again, then clutched his eyes and rubbed his throbbing temples. He had absolutely no idea why he'd ended up hanging out with them in the first place, but he was terribly worried about letting them roam freely—what if there really was a monster?

Unfortunately, I still had to follow.

"Ah! There really is a monster..." Gray was stunned by the sight before him, his body trembling slightly with fear.

In the town center, in the square in front of the Cardia Cathedral, from Gray's perspective, two beast-like figures collided, kicking up clouds of dust. Each collision caused the earth to crack, sending countless pebbles and clods of earth flying. Every now and then, a few terrifying roars would startle the surrounding pedestrians, causing them to scream and take cover, as if it were the end of the world.

At that moment, Lisanna arrived beside Gray, and stared in astonishment at the sight before her. "Ah! It's Mira and Erza..."

Once the perspective returns to normal and the Gray filter is removed, there's no cataclysmic event or hell on earth; it's just two little girls, one in white and one in red, fighting.

Erza was clad in silver armor, while Mira was covered in black scales. Their skills grew increasingly astonishing with each exchange, and the area affected by their battle expanded ever wider. Now, only these two figures remained fighting in the vast square in front of the cathedral. Other pedestrians, fearing being caught in the crossfire, kept their distance.

If you look closely, you can also see that among the many onlookers, there is a Cana standing there, covering her face in shame, too ashamed to show herself.

Erza and Mira's fighting wouldn't be so bad, but these two also like to hurl insults at each other in a super childish and vulgar way. The onlookers kept pointing and whispering, and Cana wanted to disappear into a hole. She really regretted bringing them along.

Cana meant well, wanting to ease the tension between the two guild members. So she accepted a simple multiplayer quest and invited both of them to join her.

Kana initially thought that even if the two didn't get along, they would restrain themselves for the sake of the mission, but clearly, Cana miscalculated... The two had already lost their tempers and started fighting as soon as they walked from the guild to the cathedral.

It took a total of ten minutes...

Elfman was the first to discover Cana, and after Cana recounted the whole story, the others all remained silent.

Doug was now at a loss for words, or perhaps he was simply amazed. These Fairy Tail creatures were truly more wondrous than the last! It turned out that even someone as eccentric as Gray wasn't the limit; he'd really broadened his horizons.

They looked like two adorable little girls, but when they fought, they were so violent, and the things they said were so shameful that no one could bear to listen to them. They embarrassed themselves in the street, and even Doug felt ashamed for them.

It seems I've misunderstood Eleven all along. He must be one of the most well-behaved members in the guild. After all, that kid Eleven couldn't possibly do anything more outrageous than fighting in front of the cathedral!

However, just as Doug was lost in thought, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky, "You bastard, do you think you can get away? Still not giving up!"

Rumble!!

Immediately following was a loud bang, and then a tower spire, so familiar to countless people, topped with a large cross, fell headfirst...

The spire crashed to the ground, scattering dust and rubble everywhere. Doug stood there, stunned, letting the dirt and stones rain down on him.

In that instant, he knew he was doomed!
