RedBurningDragon: I'm still wondering if he can use his lightning dragon mode or not, I'll think about it in the future.
Entron: Thank you so much!
AbyssDragonslayer777: Sorry about that, I already read it and fixed some buggy parts.
Well, I'm enjoying this story too much to write and read it myself as a reader. If you like, you can leave some ideas and reviews about the story, or chapter, so I am improving as a writer every day.
From all the excitement of writing this chapter, I ended up making a somewhat random opening. If you like, you can skip it because it is very sure that the parts of the song and the writing will not be as I wanted and it can also be overwhelming to read something with music in the background. The opening was only something very personal for me, as a writer and a reader and that's why I put it in.
Well, I don't think I have anything else to say, so...
This is chapter three. I hope you like it!

A black bird flew gracefully through the skies while violently flapping its wings in its wingspan before plummeting and sitting on a statue of a human head.
The figure moved away giving a full view of the demon.

Natsu was sitting lazily while eating an apple on a tree branch with bored eyes before fixing his gaze on the sun. A wild smile spread on his lips before he jumped from the tree.
The scene changed and now an Asta was sweating as he wiped his brow with a smile. Placing the sword on his shoulder, he covered his eyes when the rays of the sun disturbed his sight before a long smile became his face.
The scene was centered on a Yuno splitting thousands of rocks with his wind magic with a charming look on his face. A mysterious breeze moved his hair making him look at the sky with surprise in his eyes.
[dare ni mo tokenai nazo ga aru fukidashita kaze ni furueteru

A girl with gray hair walked vaguely down a dark corridor with an empty look on her face. But suddenly, a light illuminated her path making her eyes full of life and pure emotions. A tear crawled down her cheek slowly.
[kimi ga waratta ashita wa ame kai?

Natsu flew through the sky with his feet made of flame while fighting people in dark clothing who were flying on broomsticks. Natsu threw a roar of fire from his mouth as he cleanly beat the boys. His smile grew longer as it began to fall from the sky.
Yuno flew on his broom as he dodged the magic attacks directed at him with lucidity and elegance. A magic wind wrapped itself around his hand and threw a tornado of magic towards them with a wild scream as the sky filled with wild winds.
[kimi to ja nakucha mirai wa kawaiteshimau no ka mo

Asta and Yuno of the children had their eyes open with a glow of excitement and amazement as they saw a Natsu who had a long smile on his face.
The snow poles fell on Natsu's hair as he raised his hand and showed a blue necklace making the boys smile even more. A giant crater was behind the Dragon Slayer.
[Sound of instruments]
Small panties of fire surrounded Natsu's body, who wore a black robe around his neck as he moved in the wind. He was devouring a boar's foot with his sharp teeth. The image moved away and showed Natsu sitting on top of people dressed in black with whom he had fought in a night forest.

Chapter 3: Magic Knight Exams
The capital was a very giant place for the eyes of many commoners and Natsu was no exception. The Dragon Slayer walked through the streets of the kingdom while taking a little peek around with pure curiosity in his jade eyes. He never looked at so many people gathered in one place as on this day. The cries were loud and oppressive as the vendors tried desperately to sell their wares.
It was chaos.
But it didn't disturb him.
At least the screams are not on Asta's level.
There were people selling street food, crafts and magic items. Ignoring Asta's screams complaining about how expensive things were and Yuno's constant complaints to calm down, he walked to a certain place where there was the most concentration of mana with a small frown.
"Hey, Natsu, wait for us!" Asta declared himself euphoric behind him as Yuno calmly followed in his footsteps.
Natsu, Yuno and Asta walked to the gates leading directly to the coliseum where many people were gathered celebrating and shouting madly.
"Apparently this is the place". Yuno spoke to himself as he watched the number of competitors around him.
Many people were behind a barrier as they shouted and wished everyone well. Everyone was embarrassed by the screams, but Natsu just walked straight through the fences to the tests.
"Thank you, thank you, I will do my best!" Asta thanked the shouts with happiness and a big smile.
Yuno closed his eyes and continued walking while he made it so that he did not know Asta.
After entering the coliseum, Natsu lined up behind Asta and Yuno with arms crossed waiting impatiently as he tapped his biceps in a hurry. His eyebrow moved slightly in discomfort. He had to stand in a long line to finally sign up.
He was never patient.
"Is that the four-leaf Grimoire?!"
"My God..."
"It's unbelievable.
Natsu's ears moved curiously as the whispers filled the area when it was Yuno's turn to sign up.
The "cool" guy was always drawing attention to where he was going.
Being Asta's turn, you could tell that they almost didn't accept because he thought it wasn't a Grimoire.
Natsu laughed quietly just as Asta finished convincing him to accept with his tantrums. After Asta ran after Yuno in a hurry, Natsu walked casually as he took his grimoire out of his small backpack and showed it to the man who looked at it curiously.
"Natsu, from Hage village".
The man inspected the Grimoire and nodded before touching it. "I see, you are number 166".
"Hmph".
Natsu put away his grimoire when he began to walk towards where there was a long crowd of people surrounded by each other. His eyes moved with interest as he analyzed the participants one by one.
There were some people talking to each other casually.
"Surely they are friends and acquaintances," Natsu thought most assuredly, seeing the happy faces of many people.
Suddenly, a ridiculous amount of birds began to circle the place as people began to complain about how annoying they were. Natsu quickly realized that they belonged to the race of birds that bothered him six months ago.
"Look, those kids are not being approached…"
Natsu ignored the comments about himself and Yuno, and only noticed the birds with a deep frown on his face.
"I feel like cooking them," Natsu said quietly with annoyance. Some people looked at him with a raised eyebrow because of his sudden and strange comment.
Yuno looked at him blankly as he shook his head.
Natsu inspected the competitors again with his eyes as he measured the amount of magic they had. He could not measure what the requirement was, or the amount of power you must have to enter these magic squads, but some did not look promising to his eyes.
Some were weak but there was one... a strange one.
His eyes shone with excitement when a muscular man stood in the middle of the coliseum with a face of boredom and confusion. He had a small cigarette in his mouth as he let out a steady stream of smoke.
Natsu noticed something quickly.
The amount of magic of this guy... was ridiculously big.
He didn't exactly look like a magician, he had muscles and a huge neck. Ignoring Asta's screams that he wished he were the Wizard King, he scanned this guy with his eyes.
It was impossible that he was a common competitor. There had to be a trick.
His eyes opened with curiosity when he noticed Asta running while trying to escape from the birds. Natsu had to chuckle when he ran into the strange muscular subject for not paying attention on his way.
His eyes opened with curiosity when he noticed Asta running as he tried to escape from the birds. Natsu had to chuckle when he ran into the strange muscular subject for not paying attention on his way.
Immediately after what happened, Natsu had to raise a confused eyebrow when he saw the subject grab Asta's head and tell him that he was going to kill him right here and now. Being somewhat removed from Asta's troubles, he heard the murmurs of the people around him.
"Yami Sukehiro, the capital of the Black Bulls..."
"What is he doing here?"
"I heard that everyone in his squadron doesn't have the screws in place".
"They cause severe damage wherever they go... they are the worst squadron there is".
Natsu listened to this with interest in a moment. They looked like Fairy Tail in the description, only they had maintained the number one position despite the destruction they, or rather he, was doing.
Natsu laughed inwardly in nostalgia.
Returning to where Asta was, Natsu quickly became serious.
"I'll kill you in ten seconds," Yami, the captain said as he threatened an Asta in shock who was uselessly trying to break free of the death grip.
Asta could feel his brain compressing and was not about to explode.
"Here you are Yami-san!" A strangely haired boy appeared behind Yami. Watching with amazement what his captain of his squadron seemed to be doing, he broke out in a cold sweat. "You should stop, Yami-san. Captains are forbidden from killing competitors".
Yami looked at him sideways with annoyance. "Shut up, I'm about to kil-"
His words were held in his throat when a hand was suddenly placed on his forearm. Raising an eyebrow, he looked back to the front and saw a rose-haired boy looking at him seriously.
"You'd better stop," Natsu openly expressed his desire as a fiery heat rose from his hand. The heat slowly burned the captain's forearm, "because I will not take over the responsibilities from this moment on".
Yami opened his eyes with a deathly glance at Natsu. "You..."
All the spectators in the area began to sweat bullets as they watched the amount of magic being emitted between the two beasts.
Asta did not know where to go, as he was still being held by a deadly grip.
Releasing Asta immediately and with annoyance, Yami turned around, pulling Natsu's hand out of his arm in discomfort.
"You better watch your actions, brat," Yami said quietly before giving him an incredibly killer instinct towards Natsu that scared everyone to death, "because next time, I won't take care of your death".
"Yami-san..."
"Let's go, Finral and you too, Gordon!" Yami roared with power in his voice scaring his boys.
After the shout, his knights nodded somewhat fearfully and walked behind their captain. After climbing the stairs where he was leading him to a certain place, Yami massaged his forearm with an annoying snort, but that snort turned into a wild smile.
"Apparently, there is a candidate to be considered". These were his last thoughts before returning to where he was primarily meant to be.
"OIII, NATSU! I HAD IT ALL UNDER CONTROL!"
Asta began his screaming as he waved his arms frantically in front of Natsu. His arm muscles grew larger showing the amount of muscle mass he had.
The Dragon Slayer simply crossed his arms even with battle blood. "Yes, I know, but I still can't stand by and do nothing when my family is being threatened".
...
Asta blinked in surprise at his words before a comical cascade of tears fell from his face and cheek. "NATSU~!"
Yuno was silent as he watched the ridiculous scene of Asta crying and an annoying Natsu whispering things.
"You two are impossible".
Yuno shook his head from his place as he watched Asta and Natsu interact.
Meanwhile, Natsu folded his arms when the fireworks exploded in the sky attracting everyone's attention. The anti-mage birds flew through the sky as they tried to escape the incredible magical concentration of a certain point in the coliseum.
"My God...", a boy whispered when he understood what was coming.
"They are... ".
A girl covered her mouth with shock when eight captains were present at the excited shouting of everyone.
"ALL THE CAPTAINS OF THE SQUADRONS OF MAGIC KNIGHTS!"
"GATHERED TOGETHER!"
Natsu blinked in surprise as he watched all the captains gather. Many had a giant amount of power, and had a dominant presence. Natsu smiled wildly as he beat his fist into his palm.
He was already looking forward to the fight!
After a few compliments and compliments to the man closest to becoming the Wizard King, the masked man created a giant tree and gave brooms to all the participants.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"So those are the captains?"
Asta looked to his side and saw a thinking Natsu. Scratching his head, Asta thought about his answer before smiling brightly. "Apparently, yes!"
"I expected them to wear battle armor to protect the King, or something like that". Natsu laid the broom on the floor and frowned. He thought they were going to be something like the knights who protected the King of Fiore.
"I still like the way they dress," Asta gave his opinion openly as Natsu snorted.
The Dragon Slayer grabbed the wooden broom as he watched it with pure curiosity and confusion.
"Are we going to fight with brooms?"Natsu asked Asta again. He looked at him foolishly.
"Hmm, sure". Asta scratched her chin in thought before raising a finger with stars in his pupils. "Magic knights must fight anything you give them!"
"Wow, now I understand!" Natsu hit his palm with his fist. "I'm fired on!"
All the participants and captains looked on in perplexity at the conversation the peasants were having as they laughed with each other.
"No."
A calm voice interrupted their talk to the surprise of all. Asta and Natsu looked up at the future magician with confusion and surprise. They could quickly notice his smile under that strange mask. "The first test consists of... flying with brooms".
After the statement, one could hear some relieved sighs and nervous faces.
Some have never in their lives flown on brooms.
Behind the captain of the golden dawn, a boy flew on his broom for the understanding of many.
"Any wizard who can control his powers can do it". The masked man smiled before declaring. "This is the most basic thing if you want to become a magic knight".
"Now, the first test begins!"
Some looked worried, but nodded to themselves as they put the broom between their legs and tried to fly.
"That was just flying on a broom, hahahaha…!" Asta laughed noisily as he put the broom between his legs with a confident smile.
"Hmph, how easy... And this is a magical knights exams?" Natsu wondered proudly as he laughed along with Asta. He put the broom between his legs without any importance.
After his carefree laughter and arrogance that disturbed some participants and even squad captains, everyone had to open their eyes in shock when Natsu only levitated a little and fell off the broom suddenly before he began to move strangely on the floor as his skin color faded and a strange liquid came out of his mouth.
Asta grunted and screamed at the top of his lungs when he tried uselessly to get some magic out of a body that had no magic.
And Yuno who was flying in the sky standing on the broom looked at Natsu's overwhelming form wondering what was wrong with him.
He had never seen Natsu so weak.
But after a few seconds, he understood.
"Oh, I forgot that Natsu can't stand transportation..." Yuno declared getting the attention of many people who only made fun of the Dragon Slayer.
"He can't stand the broomsticks?"
"And so he wants to be a magic knight?!"
Someone who was a little lower than Yuno scoffed.
"At least we have two less to worry about," another boy declared after looking at Asta and Natsu.
Yuno only shook his head in disappointment at the statements. His eyes focused again on Natsu trying to crawl on the floor and get off the demonic broom.
"H-e-hel-help, m-me-ple-ple-as-as- o-oh s-shit".
Everyone looked on in disgust as Natsu grew even paler than before and passed out on the floor.
"Apparently there is one who can't even stand flying on a broom," Fuegoleon, captain of the Crimson Lion King said with surprise in his voice because of what he witnessed in his royal eyes, but he also fixed his gaze on the boy who couldn't even lift the broom an inch, "and the other one can't even levitate, how strange that this year's participants are".
"Dirty peasants".
Nozel, captain of the Silver Winged Eagles shook his head and gave his disgust to the lower class people.
"Hmph". Yami let out a puff of smoke from his mouth as he looked at Natsu's dead man. "And I thought about killing him when the test was over, but apparently a broom did my job".
"And you call yourselves men?"
Charlotte, captain of the Blue Rose asked angrily as she watched the two peasant boys.
"Let's leave the useless ones aside and look at what they are worth".
Gueldre Poizot, captain of the Purple Orca laughed out loud in a macabre way as he looked up at the sky and those flying higher on their broomsticks.
William only nodded in agreement and looked up before focusing his attention on the boy in the four-leaf clover. A smile was on his face.
Meanwhile in the exam, a boy dressed in green flew up on his broomstick to where Natsu and Asta were.
"Fu-ha! You guys are fun!"
Asta gave up his futile attempt to levitate and focused his gaze on a boy dressed in green. You could see Asta's desperate eyes.
"My name is Sekke. Nice to meet you, bah-ha!"
Asta sweats with her nerves before introducing herself anyway. "Ahh, I am Asta from the village of Hage!"
"What fun!" He laughed before focusing his gaze on a fainting Natsu. "And he is...?"
Asta's eyes opened in terror when he saw a dead Natsu. "Oh, my!" Asta realized his grave mistake when he forgot to take Natsu off the broom. Pulling the broom from Natsu's feet, Asta violently moved the Sekke's sweat-drop fire mage.
"NATSU, RESPOND!"
"Is he still alive?" Yami asked curiously when he saw the boy who thought he was dead move and spit up saliva.
"KEKE, it hurts, I was going to cut him off for looking so ridiculous, KEKEKE".
Jack The Ripper, Captain of the Green Mantis laughed as he activated his cutting magic and wiped his nose with his tongue.
Everyone grimaced.
"Farmers are disgusting," Nozel commented again.
Meanwhile, the tests and trials went by faster than the clock was ticking. Asta could achieve absolutely nothing good and succeed. And Yuno being against him, he did his best and got the attention of all the captains and participants.
And Natsu...
"I'll never be a magic knight if I have to fly in that killing machine".
Natsu created a seed in an adult plant while huffing and puffing in annoyance over the previous events.
Asta stood next to it trying to flower the seed, it rose from the ground with stars in its eyes. "Don't say that, Natsu! Magic knights must have much more than just flying on broomsticks".
"Really? Which ones?!"
Asta's brain stopped working. "They are... hm... oooh..."
"Interestingly," Natsu nodded in agreement as they rolled their eyes.
"He said absolutely nothing!" Everyone exclaimed mentally.
After the last speech and final test it was a fight between two opponents using their Grimoire to its fullest extent to demonstrate their talent. Natsu had walked to where Yuno was and sat down on the floor with a deep breath. Yuno just laid his back on the wall in boredom.
"Do you know who you're going to fight?" Yuno asked out of the corner of his eye, but only received a sound from Natsu's belly.
Natsu stroked his belly. "I wanted to fight Asta, or you, but I'm so hungry I won't even be able to fight".
"You can't be serious," Yuno whispered as Natsu banged his head against the wall in desperation and looked in all directions for a certain individual.
"And Asta?"
"I think he's going to fight a certain bah-ha," Yuno explained before looking at the place where Asta was standing. "Look, the fight is about to begin".
"Asta is going to win".
Yuno blinked a few times at the instant statement before looking as Natsu stood up and stretched his back. "Do you have that much confidence in him?"
"Perhaps..."
"I see..."
As if Natsu's words were true, Asta ended up breaking the floor and completely erasing the magic of such a bah-ha by getting looks of disbelief from all the participants who watched the battle.
"I did not come to play, or to avoid work". Asta put the sword on his shoulder with determination in his eyes. "I came to become the Wizard King, you bastard!"
Natsu only smiled as he put his hands on his head and whistled amusingly.
"You were right, he was no match for Asta". Yuno smiled as Asta declared his ambition and goal.
Natsu stopped laughing and crossed his arms in agreement after hearing Asta's mockery of becoming the Wizard King.
Before Natsu said a word, two people approached them with proud steps. One had a ghoulish look on his face while the other laughed with pure pride in his laugh.
"I heard that you were chosen by the four-leafed Grimoire," one of them commented with a laugh before going on and introducing himself elegantly. "My name is Salim, I see you have no one to fight with... would you like me to show you the difference between commoners and nobility?"
Yuno blinked a little surprised by the statement, but then just shrugged his shoulders unimportantly. "Whatever you say".
Natsu was silent as he listened to the cold talk they were having. His eyes instantly caught another figure laughing just like Yuno's fighter. He was wearing a somewhat reddish dress and black earrings in his ear.
Natsu noticed that he was looking down on him with arrogance.
Nobility people were strange and very foolish in Natsu's eyes.
"I see that you are also missing an opponent, you don't mind if it were me, do you?" He asked politely, but with a somewhat superior tone.
"Are you a fire mage?" Natsu asked boringly.
He just laughed even more.
"I see you have a good eye". He opened his grimoire showing more burning flames as he boasted it. "I belong to the Ignis family, you can call me Ignis too if you like".
"Hmph".
"Ignis, if you wish you can go first". Salim raised his hand to cover his mouth with a few mischievous laughs. "I'd like to have a little chat with the four-leafed boy".
Ignis laughed anyway. "I see. Come with me, commoner boy".
Natsu only frowned as he watched the way he was treated. Walking behind the boy of nobility with a glaring look on his back, Natsu dodged the crowd and stood in the middle of the coliseum where there were people screaming and a referee ready to give the signal for battle.
"I will show you the difference between our powers, commoner!" Ignis roared with dominance before opening his grimoire as a fire was created. "Fire Magic: Fireball!"
Natsu was silent as a giant fireball approached him. His belly rumbled and suddenly a wild smile spread across his face.
While with the captains, everyone raised eyebrow when Natsu didn't even open his grimoire to counter the attack coming at him. Was the boy so confident that he could withstand the impact of a blow, or was he too stupid?
They all had the same thought.
Does he plan to kill himself?
When the fireball got close enough to Natsu, it exploded in an explosion of fire that amazed many people and frightened others with the amount of magic cast in a single spell.
"Hehehe'. Ignis smiled and giggled as he opened his arms to the sky. "THIS IS THE POWER OF NOBILITY, YOU DAMNED COMMONERS!"
His laughter filled the stadium as the fire burned brighter causing many people to furrow their eyebrows. There was no way he could have survived, surely there was only a dead body in there, or someone half dead.
"Poor commoner," one participant remarked with sorrow as he watched the fire ravaged everything, "I'm sure he had no idea it was someone from the nobility".
"I feel the same way," a girl whispered before sighing.
Yuno and Asta just looked silently at the burning place where Natsu was before looking at each other and laughing with pure amusement.
"WHAT THE HELL?! THIS FIRE ISN'T EVEN BETTER THAN NASH'S?!"
They all jumped up in surprise when a frustrated voice was heard from the fire. The eyes of the onlookers almost went out of their sockets when the fire began to slowly disappear.
To the shock of many and the disbelief of others, the fire began to spin in giant whirlpools and quickly crept into Natsu's mouth.
Natsu wiped his mouth with a canine smile while scaring many participants. His clothes were burned by the direct impact of the fire spell, giving the audience a view of half his completely marked abs and strong arms with veins that wanted to explode. The right side of her pants was completely burned leaving half of her thigh exposed. The top half was covered by the scarcity of clothing that had survived the impact.
Everyone looked on in terror as this turn of events unfolded.
He didn't have a scratch on him!
Ignis took a step backwards as his brain tried to progress what had happened. His fire magic, the magic of nobility had done nothing to him!
[Dragon Force OST]
"What the hell?" Fuegoleon was the first to come out of the shock and asked incredulously as he watched Natsu eat the fire without pain, or any suffering. "What kind of magic is that?!"
"Ohh". Yami pushed her cigarette away when her eyes opened wide as she formed a slightly crooked smile. "What do we have here?"
The other captains were silent in confusion as they watched Natsu thunder his neck noisily.
"What on earth are you?" Ignis asked in terror as he took a step backwards.
Natsu smiled brightly before striking his fist with the palm of his hand, causing Ignis to retreat even further. A red Grimoire flew out of its resting place and opened up as it moved the leaves.
"What am I?" Natsu asked aloud, causing Ignis to retreat. A great deal of magical power began to come out of Natsu's body making great currents of wind be directed at the onlookers who looked on in terror and surprise. Natsu squatted as his hand rested on the ground, breaking the cement with the strength of his fingers, Natsu went up in flames as he jumped and left a crater in the road. The entire amount of magic focused on his right arm as he roared. "I'M JUST A COMMONER WHO LIKES TO KICK ASS, YOU BASTARD!"
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A deadly fist made of fire crashed into Ignis' nose as it exploded in a deadly way. Roaring, Natsu sent Ignis flying towards the wall of the coliseum as the fire exploded in a whirlwind causing everyone to cover their eyes from the amount of heat that burned them completely.
The thunder of the blow was so great that many tripped over their own heels as a giant curtain of dust opened up on the battlefield and between the wall where Ignis ended up.
Silence.
With pure slowness, this curtain of smoke disappeared. Everyone had to drown out a cry of terror and amazement when they saw a giant hole in the wall. The figure that one of them was Ignis was now totally defeated with blood on his nose and forehead.
The commoner had defeated the nobility!
Asta clashed his fist against Yuno's shoulder in celebration mode with a laugh of victory while Yuno only sighed in weariness at his brother's destruction.
Natsu only wiped his lips with his forearm while a wild smile stretched across his face. "And also, thank you for the food, you bastard of nobility".
All the captains were shocked by the demonstration of power.
Fuegoleon had no words to describe the power of the blow and the savagery. That blow in its pure state only reminded him of a certain person familiar to him.
Nozel's eyebrow trembled slightly at the amount of magical power a single commoner had.
Charlotte had only a scowl of pure suspicion.
Jack The Ripper was wiping his blades with his tongue in fun.
Rill only had stars in his eyes after witnessing the art of fire.
Gueldre had a confused and somewhat startled look as he blinked multiple times.
Dorothy only snored.
William scratched his chin in deep thought after watching the demonstration of magic.
Yami smiled as he clenched his teeth tightly. His thoughts screamed to the seven heavens. "I want this brat in my squad!"
After Natsu's incredible demonstration of magical power, the magic knight exams had come to a close and it was time to choose the participants who were eager and euphoric.
Meanwhile with Natsu, he had to go to the locker room where you kept your valuable belongings, or simply luggage. He had to go and change after his clothes were completely burned after the battle with the proud Ignis. He didn't want to show up to the captains half-naked like Gray.
He had values.
After putting on his extra clothes that were exactly the same as the ones he always wore, Natsu groaned uncomfortably because of the tight clothing. He needed to buy a new one, as his clothes were already getting too small.
He needed to buy new clothes.
Walking out of the dressing room and into the place where the tests were held, he noticed frightened looks at him. He just ignored those looks and went deeper into the small crowd of people.
Apparently few people had been chosen by the captains, and many people had already left resigned to their homes.
After dodging some participants from the back and giving a quick glance to a Yuno who was far from the crowd, but had a serious look on his face. The Dragon Slayer's eyebrow rose in confusion as he looked ahead.
Yami, the captain of the black bulls, was laughing loudly in front of what looked like an excited and amazed Asta.
He didn't know what was happening, but he understood everything by one sentence.
"You are funny, join my squad!"
It was his cry of laughter before he changed his gaze to one of death that frightened all the participants.
"And a no is not an opinion".
What the hell was going on...?
Natsu questioned himself internally as he watched an emotional Asta try to hold back tears.
Understanding everything, Asta had been chosen by a magic squad.
That meant it was a party!
Natsu laughed in pure happiness as he put his arms around his waist. Finally, Asta had achieved a goal to be closer to being the Wizard King.
Without realizing it, he caught everyone's attention.
Asta blinked and turned to see Natsu laughing, he only raised his eyebrow in confusion.
Yami only looked seriously at the Dragon Slayer who was laughing openly without realizing the looks he was getting. Walking serenely and at a snail's pace, Yami stopped in front of Natsu.
Nobody understood what the captain of the black bulls wanted to do.
Igneel's son immediately noticed a hand grabbing his head and lifting it up to his surprise and pain.
"And you..." Yami declared sharply as he squeezed Natsu's head comically. His look would be changed to a funny one as he laughed out loud. "You're going to join my squad too!" He declared firmly before putting on another beard. "And I don't take no for an answer".
…
"YAMI-SAN?!
"WHAT?
"Impossible, it's not even his turn yet!"
"That's right!"
"What the hell with this man's strength?!" Natsu thought in pure disbelief as his skull was on the verge of exploding. The cries of indignation grew on his back, but he ignored it as his eyes begged to be let out of their sockets. "Is this what Asta felt?! No, it is impossible!"
Yami turned around and looked at his comrades in arms. "And I doubt you have an objection, do you?"
The magical captains tensed and hesitated before they were defeated by the words of a stubborn Yami.
"I don't want a peasant in my order," Nozel commented firmly.
The other captains agreed while others were hesitant to accept Yami's request, or refuse it.
Fuegoleon frowned as he watched a Natsu trying to get out of Yami's clutches.
This boy reminded him of her... he wanted to have him in his squad, but he was still confused by his true power.
He couldn't fly on a broom, and the other tests he spent burning everything, and annoying others in a carefree way as if he didn't care about being a magic knight.
The only part he excelled at was at the time of the fight where he showed exceptional power and attack for a boy his age, just like the boy in the four-leaf clover.
But even so... he couldn't risk it.
He just sighed and said absolutely nothing.
Without receiving another response, Yami smiled and looked at Natsu who was somewhat shocked and did not understand what was going on.
"I doubt you'll feel like refusing, plus we have some unfinished business". With his free hand, Yami gave his cigar a taste before releasing a smoke and looking at Natsu with rounded eyes that finally freed him from the grip.
"I'm not wrong, am I, brat?"
Natsu did not respond as his head was spinning while he staggered on his heels in an exaggerated manner. Breathing heavily, he smiled wildly as he watched the blurred figure of the captain of the black bulls with the green jades. His lips moved upward before he declared. "You're a strong bastard, you know that?"
"Don't remind me that I can kill you here and now too".
Asta had fumes coming out of his head comically as he stared in pure confusion at the scene in front of him.
He only had one question.
WHAT THE HELL?!
After his little encounter where he scared Asta and chose Natsu as his new recruit, Yami had a small scowl as he constantly stomped the floor in annoyance. His gaze centered on a Natsu standing nearby before giving his cigar a taste and releasing a smoke.
"How much longer is the other dwarf going to be?" Yami thought indignantly.
Meanwhile with the Fire Dragon Slayer and Igneel's son, Natsu sighed irritably before folding his arms.
This was all... so sudden.
He could not resist the situation, or raise his voice against it. He just folded his arms without understanding anything at all.
Taking a deep breath, Natsu put his arms around the back of his head as he tapped the floor and closed his eyes to think. Apparently he was going to be in the same squad as Asta.
It wasn't unpleasant to be around family and friends, but it was a bittersweet treat for him.
Yuno had been chosen by the golden dawn, the best of the squads with the best reputation from what he heard around.
If Yuno and Asta were in different orders and competing, why did he have to be in one just like Asta?
But in the end, he had to bow his head in defeat because of a stubborn man who only reminded him of a stubborn scarlet knight's girl.
Memories~
His eyes were opened after he turned his thoughts aside and returned to reality itself. Footsteps and cries were heard near him and he looked to his left with rounded eyes.
Asta was again held by the muscular hand of a man named Yami Sukehiro.
He was so immersed in his thoughts that he had heard nothing.
"Come on, Finral," Yami commanded.
Natsu had to open his curious eyes when a portal opened in front of him.
The boy who had summoned the portal spell sighed somewhat wearily when he had to hold back so that the spell would not disappear.
Natsu did not remember ever seeing anything like this.
"Is this your magic?" Natsu approached him and asked. His eyes had a flash of curiosity.
Holding his attention, the boy looked at him for a few seconds before nodding with a shy smile. "Yes, it is my space magic..."
"Wow!" Natsu approached further before looking at him carefully with his eyes narrowed.
"If you like you can come in... I don't think I'll be able to hold out much longer..." Finral exclaimed between sweat and nerves.
Yami gave him a deathly look when he heard his words perfectly.
"Surpass your limits, Finral!"
Finral cried out in fear before obeying.
Natsu said nothing else and just took a funny leap into the strange portal. He was dying to see what would happen if he entered. Entering the portal, Natsu fell to his feet on the grass immediately. Showing confusion in his features, Natsu put his hands on his hips as he tilted his head to where his eyes could see.
A giant base was in front of Natsu's jade eyes for his curiosity and pure amazement.
It is truly gigantic.
"Here where-"
His words were drowned in his mouth when a head hit the back of his head with force.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Natsu screamed inside his head before being sent to the ground and eating dirt.
He screamed in pain as blood streamed from his forehead and he looked at Natsu in shock. "WHAT GOD WAS THAT?!"
Natsu wasted no time and rose with a throbbing vein in his forehead. Natsu's forehead collided with Asta's. "That's my question, you bastard! Who gave you permission to hit me in such a cowardly manner?!"
"I WAS THROWN!"
"TELL THAT TO MY FIST!"
"You two shut up... or I'll kill you!" Yami came out of the gate with a bored look, but it would be in other words, while stopping the discussion of the non-blood brothers.
Natsu was going to chime furiously at Yami, but a wooden stake suddenly hit his head as the building across the street exploded in flames and explosions that were too much.
Asta screamed dramatically.
"Well, now I'm more than angry, you bastard! Are you ready for me to burn your ass?!"
"You're weak, Magna! Hehehe".
"Stop making so much noise". A pink girl scratched her head in pain and annoyance as she got up from a chair in the living room. "I drank so much that my head hurt".
"You always shine, my little sister".
Yami could only laugh out loud before glaring at an Asta in shock and a Natsu confused and angry at the two blows to different parts of his head.
"Welcome to the worst order in the whole Kingdom of Clover!" He exclaimed as another explosion occurred behind him.
Asta was shocked.
Natsu's furious gaze immediately changed to an excited one as the canine teeth lengthened and showed themselves to the audience.
He didn't know where he had gotten to, but he knew at least one thing.
He liked this place.
End of Chapter.
I hope you liked it.
Goodbye!
