Hello readers, this is an updated version of the chapter, as I noticed a huge plot hole that some of you also may have noticed. Anyway, here's chapter three.
As we walked back to the guildhall, Natsu asked me," Hey Nicholai, I probably should've asked this sooner, but why did you call me your brother back there?" I smiled and said, "Well, I called you that because you remind me of what I always thought a brother would be like." "Also," Natsu said," How do you remember things like your name, and your age?" I said," Well, it is kind of hard to explain. It's almost like I have a form of amnesia, with a few memories vaguely imprinted into my mind." "This kid really has had it rough," Natsu said to himself. "Hey Natsu," I said. "Yeah?" He said in response. I asked," Would you be okay with it if I made my middle name Dragneel? I never remember having a middle name. I guess since you were the one who helped me get away from my horrible past, I wanted to take part of your name." Natsu gladly said, "Sure, why not, I don't mind." We entered the guildhall to see a riot going on just like when we were first here. "Hey Nicholai, now that you know some magic, do you want to join in the fight?" Natsu said. "Sure," I said, "Why not." I nearly lost myself in the crowd of people being thrown around and beaten half to death. Then I came across a black haired man without his shirt on. The man turned to face me, "You want to fight?" "Sure," I said. He yelled, "ICE MAKE: HAMMER!" A giant hammer made of ice came slamming down on me. I barely managed to dodge as I yelled, "FIRE DRGON ROAR!" The man wasn't expecting that from me and took a direct hit and went flying across the guildhall. Almost all of the guild members stopped fighting and started to stare at me in surprise. But then, Natsu yelled, "Alright, great job Nicholai!" After that the fighting started to die down, or at least people were refraining from fighting me. Then, a red haired woman in armor came up to me and said, "You seem pretty strong, how about a little bit of sparring?" Before I could say anything Natsu came over to me and said, "Don't do it Nicholai, Erza is too much of an opponent for you, she won't go down as easily as Gray." I said, "Well then, I guess she can be a test to how strong I really am. Seeing as you are afraid of her, I bet she has beaten you before, so let's make a wager. If I can beat her, then you will always acknowledge me as your superior until you beat her yourself." "Wow, you've changed a lot from that lonely kid I found wandering around without a purpose. I won't stop you, but don't get yourself hurt." Natsu said.
"You ready Erza, 'cause here I come!" I exclaimed as I rushed towards her. Erza yelled, "REQUIP: FLAME EPRESS ARMOR!" Her body was suddenly enveloped in a golden light, and when it dispersed, she was wearing a new set of armor. I yelled, "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" and as the massive fireball hurled towards Erza, she acted as if nothing was there, and it hit her with almost no effect. "Wha-" I tried to say before she charged at me and hit me with a scythe she just made appear out of thin air. "You'll have to do better that that if you want to defeat me," she yelled, "Flame empress armor makes me almost invulnerable to fire, and this scythe is impossible to melt." "Damn it," I thought, "What am I supposed to do?" "If that's the case," I said, "then I'll just have to smash that armor to pieces!" I ran towards her with both of my fists engulfed in flames and yelled, "FIRE DRAGON CLAW BARRAGE!" With every hit, her armor became weaker and weaker until it managed to break. "Huff… huff…" "I managed to break that armor," I thought, "but I'm all out of magic power what am I supposed to do?" "Impressive," she said, "but it seems that you are all out of magic power, so I have won this battle." She walked away with an arrogant look on her face. "Hey! Come back here! I'm not done with you yet!" I yelled while I started to fall to the ground and pass out.
I woke up in what seemed to be a near empty infirmary, with Natsu sitting next to my bed. "Hey brother," Natsu said, "How're you felling?" " Ugh, my head. Where am I?" Natsu responded. "You're in the guild's infirmary, and you've been unconscious from that fight of yours for about two days." "TWO DAYS?" I yelled in surprise. "Yeah," Natsu said, "you nearly gave me a heart attack when you collapsed like you did. You did really well in your fight, but try not to exhaust that much magic energy again okay?" "Has he really been this worried about me?" As I looked at where he was sitting, and noticed how he smelled, and all of the trash next to him, I could tell he hadn't moved from that spot for a while. "He really does care a lot for me," I thought. "And you woke up just in time too," Natsu said, "Master is about to announce something important. Come on, follow me." I had struggled to get out of bed and keep up with him. "I guess I'm not back up to one hundred percent yet." As we entered the guildhall, I noticed a large crowd in front of the stage, with master, Erza, a blond haired guy with a lightning scar on his face, a woman with white hair, a man with orange hair and a long cloak, and a person with a cloak covering their entire face with several staves strapped to his back all up on the stage. "Settle down, settle down," The master said, "Now, I am going to announce the eight candidates for this year's make up s-class wizard exam as we had that little 'incident' preventing us from doing it last year." "S-class exam?" I said. "Cana Alberona, Gray Fullbuster, Loke, Elfman Strauss, Levy McGarden, Macao Conbolt, Freed, and finally, Nicholai Kasai." "WHAT?" Natsu and me yelled in unison.
