S-Class Exam, Part Three

Gildarts and Riyao clashed fists, both of them shirtless, their clothes Crush Magic and force.

Both of them lowered their gazes, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on their lips.

I won this round! x2

Riyao's Wild Growth had reached its limit, and its body began to shrink.

"Hahaha, how did you turn into a baby? Hahahaha!"

Riyao stared blankly at his thin arms and legs. This was the first time he had used this technique, and he hadn't expected such side effects.

Erza looked over when she heard the sound, then blushed and covered her eyes.

"You old geezer, stop pinching my face! Let go of me, or I'll go back and tell Cana to teach you a lesson!"

Riyao was picked up by Gildarts, its legs kicking wildly.

"Haha, so cute! I'll buy you a little dress sometime."

Riyao was tempted for a moment, but he remained stubborn.

"You perverted old man, I have to shock you!"

After Gildarts finished tidying himself up, he cheekily found a leaf for Riyao.

The Riyao and threw the leaves to the ground.

Then I rummaged through Makarov's luggage, grabbed a shirt, and decided to wear it as a skirt.

"You're really weird for Crush Magic, you actually shattered clothes! Tell me, do you do this all the time?"

Gildarts blushed and waved his hand in denial.

"No, no, that's impossible."

Erza stared at the toddler version of Riyao with shining eyes.

So cute!

"Riyao... little brother, when are you going to turn back?"

"What little brother? Wait till I turn back, I'll give you a good beating!"

Riyao was held and manipulated by Erza, attempting to resist, but the resistance failed.

"Let me go! I reckon it'll take seven days to recover, don't worry about it."

Makarov dragged Laxus and Freed back.

I was completely bewildered when I saw the Little Riyao!

Makarov asked in bewilderment, "Eh?! This is Riyao's child?!"

Riyao flashed a smile that charmed countless aunties, "I don't know... Yaoyao can't find her mom and dad. Yaoyao is so hungry, so sad..."

Makarov looked horrified! He began to wonder if he had traveled through time.

In the distant dense forest, a pair of green eyes were watching this side.

This generation of members is really interesting.

The owner of those eyes silently retreated into the depths of the dense forest.

Riyao glanced at that spot out of the corner of his eye. Even though Mavis was only in her ghost (special Thought Projection) state, the contradictory life energy there was no different from that of a lighthouse in Riyao's perception.

Makarov abandoned the two men, ran over, poked Riyao's face, and smiled.

"As expected, Riyao was cuter when he was a kid."

"Grandpa, you're grinning like a madman. Erza, let me go, your armor is so tough!"

Riyao was held in Erza's arms, his face pressed against her armor.

Erza reluctantly put down the Riyao.

Riyao regained his freedom to avoid being bullied by those guys.

"Grandpa, what's the second round of assessment?"

"As for the second round of assessment, Laxus already failed the first round. Finding the First Hokage's grave will complete the task."

Erza rubbed her little hands together. "Little Riyao, come here and let your big sister carry you."

"I don't want to, unless you take off your armor, it's too uncomfortable."

Erza was torn between two conflicting thoughts: the cute doll or the armor that offered a sense of security? She even muttered to herself as she pondered.

Riyao's face darkened instantly. What do you mean by "cute doll"? He could accept "cute," but "doll" was going too far.

At this moment Laxus and Freed also woke up and stared wide-eyed at the sight of the baby-like Riyao.

Freed spoke first, "How long have we been asleep? Riyao already has a child!?"

Laxus didn't speak, but his eyes betrayed his unease.

Riyao gave her a disapproving look, which made her look even cuter.

Freed jogged over to take a look, flashing the same smile as Makarov.

Ah, what an adorable child.

Riyao kicked Freed with his shin, causing little damage and not being particularly insulting.

Riyao sensed that this place was not safe to stay any longer, so he quickly jumped onto Erza's body, grabbed her armor, and urged her to leave quickly.

Erza snapped out of her daze and reached out to hug Riyao. Riyao felt like Erza was going to kill him.

"Gently, gently, I think I look too cute."

"Ah, okay, okay."

After adjusting her posture, Erza carried Riyao into the forest.

As the Riyao resonates with nature, it also guides the way. The forest is its domain.

"There are several monsters ahead on the left front. Go around them."

"Okay, Little Riyao."

Riyao's little face darkened again.

This is clearly an attempt to take advantage of me on purpose.

Under Riyao's command, they encountered no monsters along the way and quickly found the First Tomb.

A section of tree trunk lay in front of the grave.

Wait, when did the old man make contact with Mavis?

"Erza, help me carry that piece of tree trunk back."

"Huh? What's this?"

"See that huge tree? That's our guild's Sacred Tree, and this is Sacred Tree trunk."

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to take it?"

"As expected, the old man left it here for me. I asked him to get me a piece before I came here."

"Oh oh."

Erza reached out and grabbed the tree trunk, then slung it over her shoulder.

Riyao was hit on the head by a branch from the tree trunk.

If Erza has children in the future, she'll be in real trouble.

Turning back, a cute figure appeared on the tombstone behind him: Mavis, the first guild master of Fairy Tail.

Riyao peeked at her, and their eyes met.

The same thought crossed both of their minds: So cute!

Mavis smiled and waved goodbye, while Riyao gave her a wink that could charm countless aunties.

Somewhere in the world, a black-haired youth felt a sudden tightness in his chest, while an innocent ant nest nearby faced annihilation.

Riyao sat in Erza, pondering. "Magic is truly unreasonable. A kiss and twins appear? That's absurd. The Second Hokage is practically a gynecological expert; he can even perform C-sections without leaving scars."

Now that I'm a toddler, can I explore the unknown women's bathhouse?

Back on the beach, Makarov wasn't surprised to see the tree trunk.

"Ahem, the one promoted to S-Class Exam this time is Riyao!!"

Laxus turned around and gave a disgruntled snort.

Riyao cheered for itself. "Riyao! Riyao! Riyao!"

Bang

Overjoyed Erza picked up Riyao again and pressed it against her armor.

"It's poisonous, Erza! If you want a hug, can you please not use this lousy armor?"

Gildarts stood to the side, laughing without a care in the world.

"Hurry back, while Riyao can't resist now, quickly dress him in a little skirt."

What? There's a reward segment too?

Riyao adopted a posture of unyielding defiance.

Erza recalled what she looked like in her Riyao outfit before.

Are you sure this isn't a reward for him?

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Makarov chuckled and beckoned everyone to board the ship so they could return as quickly as possible.

High-level hunters always make their appearance as the prey.

On the ship, Laxus kept stealing glances at Riyao, lost in thought, and occasionally blushing.

Makarov hadn't managed to snag such a small child in a long time, so he came over and started playing with him, and Gildarts joined in.

Riyao's indignant cry, "This is workplace bullying!"
