Welcome to Fairy Tail

"Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪"∠)Bleurgh."

Natsu made a stylish entrance, but he was done for in less than three seconds.

"No good! I still want to throw up!"

"How pathetic!"

"Lucy, what are you doing here?"

Wings sprouted from Happy's back as he flew into the air and asked.

"Happy!"

Lucy was delighted to see a familiar face.

"I was tricked. He lied to me and said he'd let me join Fairy Tail."

"Wait! Why do you have wings?!"

The people around Bora were all dumbfounded.

"I'll explain later! Let's go!"

With that, Happy wrapped his tail around Lucy's waist and flew away.

"Chase them! It'll be trouble if they report us to the Magic Council!"

Even while in midair, Lucy was worried about Natsu. "Wait, where's Natsu?"

"I can't carry two people."

"Don't think you can escape! Take this, Flame Whip!"

Purple flames emerged from a magic circle and pursued Happy and Lucy, but Happy's nimble movements dodged every attack.

At that moment, Natsu forced himself to crawl out of the ship.

Lucy still wanted to go back and save Natsu and the other girls, but Happy's magic ran out, and the girl and cat plunged straight into the sea.

"You stupid cat!"

But thanks to that, Lucy found her lost key.

On the ship

Natsu, who had been getting beaten up, suddenly felt lighter. The lackeys who had been ganging up on him all froze stiff.

"Yo, Natsu. Long time no see. You've gotten this pathetic, huh?"

Qian Guang walked down the stairs and snapped his fingers, dispelling the magic on the girls.

Bora stared at Qian Guang with a grave expression.

"Fairy Tail's doctor, why are you here? Where's Mr. Wip?!"

"Who knows? Maybe he went to have a heart-to-heart with a demon."

"Bastard! The medicine you gave me was fake! Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪"∠)Bleurgh."

Natsu wanted to get up and punch him, but he could barely even stand.

"Not my fault. It's your own problem. You've probably developed drug resistance. You'll have to come back for experiments."

"By the way, why is a fake Fire Dragon acting so cocky in front of the real one?"

Bora's expression tightened as he stared in terror at the pink-haired boy on the ground.

"Fairy Tail doesn't have anyone like you!"

Flames erupted all over Natsu's body. Just as he was about to throw a punch, a massive wave crashed in.

"Damn, I need to run first."

Seeing the wave, Qian Guang decisively abandoned Natsu and fled.

He had already drawn a short-range magic circle and brought the girls into it.

"Bastard! Take me with you!"

"See you at the harbor."

"BOOM!!!"

Harbor

A magic circle lit up, and Qian Guang emerged with the girls.

"Are you Fairy Tail's doctor?"

After what happened with Bora, the girls no longer dared to trust blindly. Still, Fairy Tail's doctor had his picture in every weekly magazine, so they probably had not mistaken him.

"That's right, beautiful ladies. Hurry home. Also, that purple-haired guy wasn't the Fire Dragon. Don't trust people so easily in the future."

"I still have something to take care of."

Qian Guang looked at the giant ship rushing toward the harbor.

"Okay! Thank you, Doctor of Fairy Tail!"

The girls also saw the waves and, unable to worry about anything else, hurried away.

"Ah! Why did I get swept away too?!"

Lucy screamed wildly as she spun in the whirlpool within the massive wave.

"Smack!" "Boom!"

The wave slammed into the beach, and the giant ship was washed ashore as well.

Qian Guang used his magic power to stop the wave from advancing any farther, preventing excessive damage.

"Cough, cough. Why did you drag me in too?!"

"Tch, I slipped up and dragged the ship ashore too."

Aquarius looked thoroughly impatient. "Oh, right. Don't summon me for the next few days. I'm going on a date with my boyfriend. Boyfriend (u‿ฺu✿)."

With that, she disappeared.

"Why did you say it twice?! And what was with that look at the end?!"

Lucy wanted to argue with Aquarius, but the moment she recalled that look, she backed down. There was nothing she could do; it was the fear that had been carved into her bones since childhood.

"Hey, Lucy, I don't need to apologize for what just happened, right?"

Happy finally pulled his head out of the sand.

"You stupid cat, you really are hard to deal with."

"Hahahaha! Happy, you got yourselves into trouble again."

Qian Guang walked over with an arrogant swagger. The sea breeze lifted the hair hanging at either side of his face, revealing the exquisite guild mark.

"Qian Guang!"

Happy had not expected to run into Qian Guang here and immediately launched himself at his face.

"Hey, stupid cat, you're wet!"

"Aye!"

Lucy was stunned as she watched the man and cat fool around. "That's Fairy Tail's doctor!"

Qian Guang and Mira were both weekly magazine cover stars, but anyone who came to photograph Mira would receive Qian Guang's death glare. As a result, the pinup girl barely had any sexy photoshoots. Of course, Qian Guang had a private collection—the kind he took himself.

Please provide the Chinese text you would like me to translate!

If it had been before, Lucy would have pounced right on him. But because of Bora, she had begun to doubt Fairy Tail. Was this really a good guild?

"Hello, beautiful lady."

Qian Guang gave Lucy a very handsome smile. It really was handsome, but all he got in return was Lucy backing away.

A vein popped on his forehead. He should have beaten Bora up first.

Lucy was a little afraid that Qian Guang might be reinforcements for that "Fire Dragon," but since Happy knew him, probably not?

At that moment, a figure with cherry-blossom-colored hair and a white scaled scarf emerged from the smoke with a stern expression.

"You said you're a Fairy Tail wizard?"

"So what if I am?! Get him!"

Natsu's expression darkened. "Let me take a good look at your face." With that, he took off his coat.

"Natsu!" Lucy was extremely worried. Natsu had been beaten up pretty badly on the ship earlier.

"Don't worry. Natsu's really strong. And that purple-haired guy isn't a Fairy Tail wizard either. His name is Bora. I forgot which guild he used to be in."

"Red Sky, aye!"

"Ah, right. And Natsu is the real Fire Dragon."

Qian Guang watched the battle ahead with a smile.

Lucy covered her mouth, her face slightly flushed in disbelief. "Natsu... is the Fire Dragon!"

"!!!! Natsu is eating fire?"

Lucy stared at Natsu in astonishment as he continuously devoured the flames around him.

"Burp. Are you really a fire wizard? It tastes terrible."

"But thanks for the meal!"

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

A blast of flames cleared out all the fodder.

!!!

Lucy's mouth fell open. Was this really magic? It was completely different from the magic she knew.

Watching the battle between the real and fake Fire Dragons, Qian Guang chuckled and explained, "A dragon's stomach can dissolve flames, and a dragon's claws can grasp flames."

"And Natsu's magic is ancient magic that allows a person to possess a dragon's constitution—Dragon Slayer Magic!"

"Dragon Slayer Magic! I've never heard of it!"

"It was magic created to slay dragons. After dragons vanished, the magic was lost as well."

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!"

While Lucy and Qian Guang were talking, Natsu's battle had reached its end.

Natsu put in only a little force and sent Bora flying.

"Boom."

Bora the human trafficker passed out immediately.

"What a weakling. But it looks like we need to run."

Qian Guang spoke to Lucy while facing the town.

"Huh?"

"Thud thud thud thud."

As if in response, orderly footsteps rang out. Lucy looked toward town. "The army!!!"

Before she could finish being shocked, she found herself being dragged away by Natsu. She also saw Qian Guang running ahead of them.

Qian Guang did not want the Magic Council to ruin his good reputation. He did not get along with those old bastards.

But he did not use space magic directly. How could they commemorate the beginning of a new journey without running beneath the night sky together?

"Huh?! Why do I have to run too?! I didn't do anything!" Lucy cried in terror. She wanted off this ride!

"Didn't you want to join our guild?"

Natsu looked back at her with a smile.

Lucy froze upon hearing that, then broke into a huge smile. "Yeah!"

Running ahead, Qian Guang pulled out a camera.

"Click!"

One of the iconic scenes!
