Noah more or less understood the unease in Wendy's heart.
Simply put, Wendy lacked confidence in her own strength.
The Grand Magic Games were a battle of dragons and tigers between the major guilds throughout the Kingdom of Fiore.
All kinds of Mages would appear there.
Among them, there would definitely be some who were even stronger than Erza, Mira, and even Laxus.
For example, Jura of Lamia Scale had risen to fifth among the Ten Wizard Saints over the past seven years, ranking even higher than Makarov.
Faced with opponents like that, aside from Noah, even a thick-skinned guy like Natsu probably wouldn't dare claim he could win with certainty, right?
If that was the case, then Wendy, who had only recently been able to use some supportive magic, needed no further mention.
Furthermore, there were plenty of people in the guild stronger than Wendy. No wonder the girl felt anxious about competing.
At that moment, Noah turned around, knelt on one knee before Wendy, and continued stroking her head as he spoke.
"Then let me evaluate your current strength, Wendy."
Wendy immediately tensed up. Looking at Noah with a nervous expression, she nodded.
Yet Noah acted as though he had not seen the anxiety covering Wendy's young, adorable face and began his evaluation on his own.
"In terms of magic power alone, you've improved considerably over before. You've already caught up to Natsu and Gray when they took the S-Class Mage promotion exam.
