"Special training?" Lu Chongwei followed her gaze and saw Mirajane raised her hand, and a S-Class Mission slip exuding a dangerous aura floated into her hand.
[S-Class Crusade Mission: Beast King(The Beast King)]
[Location: Mist Forest depths]
[Goal: Suppress and defeat Beast King]
Lu Chongwei was stunned for a moment. "Beast King? Mira, that guy is not easy to deal with. Although its hard power is not top-notch, its strength attribute is very violent, and Mist Forest's environment will interfere with Take Over Magic."
"I know." Mirajane gently stroked the task list, his eyes softening, "However, Elfman has fallen into a bottleneck recently. He has always wanted to obtain the power to protect his family, and Beast King's soul is currently the most suitable material for him to receive throughout his body."
"As long as he can successfully receive Beast King, his strength will make a qualitative leap."
Looking at Mirajane's elder sister-like appearance, Lu Chongwei couldn't say anything else. In this magical world, wanting to become stronger is often accompanied by risks.
"Now that you have decided, be careful in everything." Lu Chongwei warned seriously, "Remember, if the mission fails, you can try it again, but you only have one life. If you find that the situation is wrong, retreat immediately and don't hold on."
"Okay, okay, you are too verbose, brother Zhongwei."
Mirajane stuck out his tongue playfully, stood up, and made a Fairy Tail signature gesture to Lu Chongwei - the index finger and thumb of his right hand were stretched out, making an inverted 7 shape, pointing to the sky.
"I am the Demon Mirajane of Fairy Tail! A task of this level can be completed with a little more seriousness."
Her back was facing the sun, and the smile on her face was so bright that people couldn't take their eyes away.
"When I come back, I'm going to check if your refrigerator is full of junk food again!"
Lu Chongwei smiled helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll treat you to a big dinner when you come back."
Outside the guild gate, the noise broke the early morning tranquility.
"Happy! You bastard cat! That's the grilled fish I saved for midnight snack!"
Natsu's face was red, and he was running wildly on the street chasing a blue kitten. Happy was holding half a fish bone in his mouth, flying very fast, and taunting vaguely as he flew:
"Love! Who told you Natsu to hide it under your pillow? It almost stink! I'm here to help you deal with the garbage!"
"How dare you talk back! Fire Dragon's--Iron Fist!"
"Wow! Natsu is going to kill the cat!"
Just when one person and one cat were having a quarrel, a gentle voice intervened.
"Okay, okay, Natsu, Happy, you two, stop arguing."
Lisanna was wearing a pink dress, holding a small basket in her hand, and stood between the two of them with a smile. She had short silver-white hair, and her big eyes were always full of smiles, making people feel warm just looking at her.
"If you're hungry, I have freshly baked cookies here."
Lisanna took out a bag of small fish-shaped biscuits from the basket and shook it.
"Love! Lisanna is the best!" Happy instantly abandoned Natsu, threw herself into Lisanna's arms and rubbed her against her.
Natsu also stopped, scratched his head, and muttered a little embarrassedly, "Since Lisanna said so... let this stupid cat go this time."
At this time, Mirajane came out with Elfman, already dressed for the mission.
"Hey, Natsu, we are going to implement S-Class Mission, do you want to come with us?" Mirajane smiled and sent out the invitation, "Although the main purpose is to help Elfman with special training, there are multiple people to take care of."
Natsu's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree, "Oh? S-Class Mission? I want..."
"No need!"
A rough roar interrupted Natsu's words.
Elfman clenched his fists, the muscles on his arms bulged high, and shouted with a serious face, "Sister! This is a test for men! If you still rely on Natsu for help, what kind of man are you?!"
"I have to rely on my own strength to protect my sister and Lisanna! This is a real man!"
Natsu was stunned for a moment when he was yelled at, and then curled his lips. "Tch, if you don't go, you won't go. Who cares? I also want to find a more powerful mission!"
Mirajane looked at his stubborn brother helplessly, then at Lisanna who looked expectant, and finally could only sigh.
"Okay, okay, then there will only be three of us going."
Mirajane rubbed Lisanna's head and said softly, "Lisanna, this time you are only responsible for supporting me from the side. Don't show off, understand?"
"Yes! I will be obedient!" Lisanna nodded vigorously, then turned his head and waved to Natsu, who was still sulking.
"Natsu, Happy, we are leaving! When we come back, we will bring you Mist Forest's specialty mushrooms!"
"Oh! Have a nice trip!" Natsu waved carelessly.
Under the sun, the three people's backs gradually lengthened, and finally disappeared at the end of the street.
Three days later.
Lu Chongwei and Erza have completed their purchasing tasks and are on their way back to the guild.
Lu Chongwei was holding large and small bags in his hands, which were filled with various supplies, as well as souvenirs specially brought to the guild.
"I bought a lot of good things this time." Lu Chongwei shook the bag in his hand, smiled and said to Erza beside him, "I brought a bottle of old wine to Mr. Makarov, hoping to stop his nagging mouth. I brought limited edition skin care products to Mira, so she won't complain about the strong wind and sand in the desert. I also brought this set of picture books to Lisanna..."
Erza was wearing a light armor, holding a newly purchased decorative sword in his arms, with a faint smile on his face, "You are very careful, and you have even prepared Natsu and Gray."
"That's right, I am a senior after all." Lu Chongwei raised his eyebrows proudly, "By the way, Erza, what did you give Jellal... Well, I mean, what did you buy for yourself?"
Erza's cheeks turned slightly red and she glared at him. "Stop gossiping. Let's go quickly. I want to eat the guild's strawberry cake."
The two chatted and laughed as they turned the corner, and the Fairy Tail guild door appeared in view.
However, as the distance got closer, the pace of the two people invariably slowed down.
Something is wrong.
It's too quiet.
At this time in the past, the noise coming from the guild could be heard across two streets. The roars of Natsu, the Roar, Gray, and the sound of tables, chairs and benches flying around were the unique background music of Fairy Tail.
But today, the familiar door was tightly closed, and everything was quiet, without even a sound.
Lu Chongwei felt a little uneasy for no reason.
He and Erza looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"Something happened?" Erza's hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword.
"Go in and have a look."
Lu Chongwei took a deep breath and walked quickly to the door.
His palms were pressed against the heavy wooden door, and they were sweating a little. The ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger, and he even dared not open the door.
"Squeak--"
With a dull friction sound, the door was slowly pushed open.
At this moment, the hall that should have been filled with laughter and laughter was now lifeless.
