Chapter 327 Natsu + Happy defeated Erza?
"What kind of looks are you giving me? Eclair, Mengmeng, and I were fighting with our lives on the line!" Lucy retorted loudly.
These guys are really annoying. They were incredibly lucky to choose an easy route, yet they still have the nerve to question it.
"That bastard Chess doesn't show any mercy at all!" Kana stood on the same side as her.
"Uh, it really is a battle I never want to experience again," Rili's black cat face was filled with lingering fear.
"Speaking of which, didn't you also defeat Mira, Elfman?" Eclair noticed the key point in Makarov's words.
"Exactly!" Mengmeng chimed in.
Upon hearing this, Elfman immediately lowered his head in shame: "We, uh, used despicable means."
?
"Hey! Where's the despicable part? It's clearly a strategy!" Abba Greene kicked him hard.
Just like in the original story, she successfully distracted Mira by dropping the bombshell that she was going to marry Elfman.
He took a heavy punch to the side of Elfman's face.
No matter how unbelievable it seemed, everyone accepted the fact that Lucy Kana had passed the test.
"So, the only group that's still unclear right now is Natsu and Happy's group, right?" Cana looked around at her competitors.
"Using the process of elimination, what they encountered was..."
Lucy took over the conversation, resting her chin on her hand as she began to analyze.
Immediately, everyone's expressions froze, and Erza's terrifying face flashed before their eyes.
The opponent is that female knight who absolutely won't hold back.
For a moment, feelings of sympathy and pity filled the room, along with a few voices of relief.
Thank you, Natsu, for helping us fend off what is in some ways the most terrifying monster.
"Alright, let's begin announcing the details of the second assessment," Makarov said.
Lucy immediately retorted, "They didn't even wait for the results before announcing Natsu's death sentence!"
"Wait, wait a minute!"
At the end of the forest path, Happy suddenly rang out, "We...we passed Erza's test!"
Looking up, I saw Happy flying proudly in mid-air with his paws on his hips, while Natsu looked sullen beside him.
"What?!?!"
The deafening gasps were even louder than when everyone heard that Lucy Kana had passed the test.
"Harby, are you sure what you're saying is true?" Makarov was the most surprised person.
Although Natsu and Happy were able to leave the passage and appear here, which was already the best answer, he still found it hard to accept for a while, knowing Erza's style of doing things.
Did Natsu and Happy defeat Erza?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Hehe, let me tell you, I'm definitely a major contributor!"
Happy raised his paws and puffed out his chest, his cat tail almost reaching the sky.
"Damn it! We were so close!" Natsu clenched his fists, pouting and looking quite annoyed.
"Hey Natsu, you're moving way too fast! There's no way you can handle a monster like Erza with brute force!"
Happy spreads out his paws.
The starkly contrasting emotions of the person and the cat only fueled everyone's curiosity about what had happened.
Under Makarov's persistent questioning, the proud Harpy became passionate and began to recount the entire incident.
Let's rewind a few minutes.
Exam Room E.
"What a pity, Natsu, it's over now."
Erza approached Natsu, who was lying on the ground, and slowly raised her Hellfire Serrated Blade, preparing to knock him unconscious and end the trial.
Happy, who had little fighting ability, stood there dumbfounded, watching Natsu struggle like a helpless husband.
The vow to help Natsu become an S-class mage echoed deep in her mind. In the end, the dead cat overcame her fear of Erza and mustered the courage to take a firm step.
"Happy, do you want to fight me?" Erza's cold gaze swept over them.
"I'm a mage too, and Natsu's partner, isn't this just natural?!"
Even though he was terrified, Happy still held Natsu tightly behind him.
"I see, I understand. In response, I will do my best!"
Seeing Erza's incredibly serious expression, Happy immediately regretted his actions and hurriedly stretched out his paw: "Actually, no..."
However, Erza did not give him a chance to finish pleading for mercy.
boom!
The serrated greatsword swung down with tremendous force, creating bursts of sonic booms, and the whistling wind made Happy's beard fly wildly.
I'm going to die! ...
Harpy was so frightened that his whole body stiffened. Whether it was good luck or a good angle, in that instant, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a pure white flower quietly blooming amidst the black armor and scarlet hair.
Speaking of which, during the battle just now, no matter what outfit Erza changed into, this flower that I've never seen before seemed to always be there.
Erza, she.—
Do you really like this flower?
In a mere 0.1-second gap, Happy's thoughts raced. Helping Natsu achieve an S-rank qualification was long forgotten. Driven by primal survival instinct, Happy blurted out, "That flower is so beautiful!"
Whoosh.
The jet-black serrated blade suddenly stopped, hovering one centimeter in front of Happy's head.
"Really?!"
Erza's eyes lit up, like a primary school student whose favorite toy had been praised, her face beaming with a happy smile that was completely different from the style of her Infernal Armor.
Really useful!
Happy was overjoyed and continued to shower Erza with compliments: "Yeah, the shape, the color scheme, even the placement are perfect! It matches Erza so well!"
"Well, that's only natural, since Chase put it on me himself~"
Erza tilted her head proudly and joyfully, allowing the flowers to be displayed more beautifully.
"Given by Chess? They've got something going on (tongue curls)!"
Harpy's passive ability was triggered on the spot, and he quickly covered his mouth with his paw.
At this crucial moment, please don't cause me any trouble, you damn mouth!
"Cough cough."
Erza, in high spirits, coughed twice, deactivated her Infernal Armor, and returned to serious mode. She casually waved her hand, "That's it, Natsu, you've cleared the game."
"Huh? What is this?! I absolutely cannot accept this, let's keep fighting!" Natsu protested loudly.
"I said, you've cleared the game." Erza's eyes narrowed.
"Arigato Khosseimas!"
Natsu instantly transformed into a good boy, bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle to express his gratitude in one smooth motion, before disappearing in a flash with Happy.
The perspective shifts back to the trunk of the Sirius tree.
After hearing the whole story, Makarov and the others were stunned and couldn't accept it.
Lucy and Cana's lips twitched uncontrollably: they risked their lives fighting those two monsters, and you just flattered them and they got rid of Erza?
That's not fair!
This is a cover-up, absolutely a cover-up!
If the two of them could still complain about the injustice and bad luck, then Elfman and Abram, who also encountered an active S-class mage, were speechless and could only awkwardly scratch their heads in disbelief.
Mila also wore the same floral headdress.
"A real man! So you can beat the game without resorting to underhanded tactics!"
"You've got a dirty reputation, you muscular masculinity!"
