He arrived at the old man's store and opened the door as everyone turned towards him and started whispering. The old man saw him and said "Hey kid I need some help over here" Natsu immediately ran and helped the man out which he ended up doing till the man closed. The old man looked at Natsu and asked "Do you still want a job?" Natsu was happy to hear this and said "Yes" The old man then said "You're hired, and here's your pay for today" Natsu was so happy and excited about it. It wasn't much but he was happy because he could use it to buy something or either save the money. "I heard you had a brawl with Tetsuya, is that true" the old man asked. "Kinda, I won't say I brawled with him since he almost obliterated me" Natsu said while scratching his head and laughing weirdly. The old man laughed and asked "Are you new to this city?" "Yes, I'm new to the city, but the worst part is that I don't even know how I got here. Well I know but I'm still confused" Natsu said. "I'll tell you
As he entered into the forest to hunt that night, he was a little bit scared hearing and knowing that he's an F rank. He decided to set a trap for the strongest and fastest beasts and then drag it to his house so that he can train with it any time without stressing himself to go to the forest. He dug a hole and weaved the vines in the forest and then threw it into the hole. He covered the hole with weak branches and then threw leafs on them, making it blend with the forest. "That should do it, there's no way the strongest beast won't fall inside my trap" Natsu said as he became proud of himself. Natsu has done research on all the beasts in the forest and determined which of them was the top 10 most powerful, more like the top 10 that will improve his strength. He then went into the forest to find the beasts. The first one he found was a beast that was like a bull but had a rhino's horn on its nose. Natsu was excited as he got it's attention, he first wanted to check how strong it
The exam has begun and everyone one is trying to cross the main gate into the examination starting point. It was really brutal because of the way the crowd was pushing and trying to pass each other to enter the gate. Natsu still sat down in his spot and just watched them. He was really hoping it was going to be easy which it was not. "I'm competing with everyone here right, so why do I think that they're not worth it. I mean they are all acting impulsively and irrationally towards this, even if the gate was going to close I think it would take time looking at the size of it and at how slow it's moving" Sigh... "I'm definitely going to loose this with how slow and tired I am" Natsu thought. Everyone was rushing towards the gate when Natsu noticed the gate stopped and then started moving back down gently with the same speed it used to open. Natsu stood up and began to walk gently towards it since more than half of the contestants has crossed the gate. As he was walking he put bot
As he approached the place he saw that the door had almost closed as he immediately rushed and slid under, but unfortunately for Natsu it wasn't a flat door, inside it was a very thick door that is as long as a hall. "Damn, is this the end of me?" Natsu said. Natsu then stayed in a crawling position and then began to crawl. While he was doing a quadruped crawl, this time with his knees on the ground, he saw other competitors who were doing a commando crawl ahead of him as he continued moving. He saw other competitors approaching him and noticed he was the only one doing a quadruped crawl. He didn't mind because he saw it as a form of training. As he was moving, the pressure was increasing and continued increasing. Natsu felt like he was going crazy because the pain became too much for him to bare as the big boxed block was dropping him down into a plank position. "Damn it, this thing is really crushing me, am I really going to die now" Natsu thought as he was moving. Eventually
The serpent blasted water out of its mouth facing the finish line direction as the red head boy tried dodging it. He was so close to being hit and as he turned back he saw the massive damage it caused. "I'm in big trouble" the boy said as he looked back at the beast in fear. "It's way more powerful than I thought. The best thing for me to do now will be to run to the finish line instead of fighting it" the red hair boy thought as he began flying to the finish line. The serpent went into the water and swimmed way faster than the boy could fly. It then emerged from the water and used its tail to hit the boy. Someone from the background shouted, "Wow, it's beating Asahu!" Asahu crashed into the water and sank. "What just happened, why is this sea serpent so powerful, how is it able to catch up to me while I'm using Phoenix wing" Asahu thought. As he was drowning in the water and his thoughts, the serpent went close to him and threw him out of the water with its tail. Asahu came
"What! If I fail here I'll have to pay ten million gold coins before I'll be able to write the exams again. This means that no matter the circumstance I must pass this exams" Natsu was in deep thought as he heard that. "Natsu, Natsu, hey can you hear me Natsu..." Yami said as he then hit Natsu back to his senses. "Huh, what happened!" Natsu said. "I don't know, I should be the one asking you that. What are you even thinking about, the main final part of the exams has started, for stage 1 at least" Yami said as he tilted his head to look at Natsu. "Oh sorry, I zoned out. I was thinking of how we were going to win the last stage" Natsu said as he lied to Yami while scratching his head and laughing awkwardly. "Oh, so that may be his powers" Yami thought to himself as he continued looking at Natsu, "Can he see the future or something, that explains how he's able to know what's about to happen before it does" "I hope he believed what I just said" Natsu thought while still scratching
"Can't we not fight monsters even once in this exam" a darked haired boy said. "We are approaching an open field" a girl with green hair said. "That's great, at least I can fight them without destroying the forest" Asahu said. As they approached the open field they ran a little bit far from the forest before Asahu and the black haired guy both used their magic to attack the monkeys. "Flaming Phoenix spear!" Asahu said as a gigantic Phoenix shaped spear came out of his seal and hit the monkeys. "Black abyss!" The black haired boy said as a magic seal appeared on the ground as black shadow hands came out and dragged some of the monkeys inside. "There still more coming towards us" Kazuko said as she then used her most famous attack, "Destructive tornado!" A massive tornado appeared which dragged many monkeys inside it. "Ice spear!" Mitsuki shouted as multiple seals appears close to her and started shooting ice spears towards the monkeys which was killing some of them. Other conte
The instructor continued, "Even if you get to him, the only thing you'll do is die with him because the both of you won't be able to protect yourself from the force of the impact" Yami was shocked when he heard this and didn't say a word which made the whole place silent. Yami thought for a while and then said, "Just do it! I'll figure something out when I get to him" Kazuko looked at him and sighed as she then said, "I'll join you, at least I understand them a little" Asahu didn't want to look weak, so he said, "This is getting interesting. Besides, we're here to become hunters, aren't we? And that means we're meant to slay beasts" as he clashed his fists together with a smirk. After hearing this, the remaining contestants felt excited and the need to fight, as one of them said, "Let's all go there, that way, there would be enough survivals" The instructor smiled and said, "Okay, but we'll have to be fast" Kazuko used her wind powers to create a large framework of a log-shaped
As they arrived at Natsu's area, he was escorted to the field as Gildart and the rest watched from a different room. Natsu was fighting in a large room filled with pillars as Gildart thought, "They stole my ideas, I can't believe they would do such a thing, I thought that man said they prepared everything already" as he let out a deep breath. As Natsu was standing in the room looking around, a beast from the other side came into the field. The beast was a blue and white three headed dog with fox like appearance, and it emitted lots of magic energy as it entered into the room. "That beast looks pretty powerful, I wonder if he would be able to survive this fight?" Kazuko thought. "I think you guys went too far in this exam, I mean just look at him, he isn't in any condition to fight that kind of beast" Asahu said as Mitsuki replied, "You might be right about that, but no one expected him to be that injured
"Yami!" Kazuko, Asahu, Mitsuki and Kaikuh shouted as they saw what happened."He's tough so you guys don't need to worry about him" Gildart said as his hands were folded while watching the fight."Dr Mayumi, I have a favor to ask, please can you heal them" Gildart asked."You don't have any right to tell me what to do, but since you said a favor guess I can help out, although that just means you're indebted to me" Dr Mayumi replied."Fine" Gildart replied."Good, we now have a deal" Dr Mayumi said happily."Okay kids, I'll advise you to follow Dr Mayumi so that you can be ready for stage 3 of the exams" Gildart said."But sir..." Kazuko replied as Gildart immediately shouted, "That's an order, and if you don't go, you'd be disqualified"Kazuko, Asahu and Mitsuki said nothing as they bent there heads and followed Dr Mayumi."Sir I can stay right, besides, you have no reason to chase me out of here" Kaiku
Kazuko finally arrived at the watch room as Dr Mayumi said, "You got me worried there for a sec, those were some slick moves""Really" Kazuko said as she scratched her head and smiled in embarrassment."If you need medical care, you can go to the..." Dr Mayumi said as Kazuko interrupted her and said, "I'm sorry but I have to see Yami's fight, hope you don't mind.""It's no biggie, just make sure you don't push yourself too much, okay" Dr Mayumi said."Yes ma'am" Kazuko replied."Okay it's time for our last contestant to fight, come on Yami, let's go to your battle field" Gildart said excited and happily as they left that area.While they were going, Kazuko went close to Yami as she took a deep breath and said, "I know I didn't buy you as much time as you need, but...""It's fine, besides, I'm glad you're alright, that's all that matters right now" Yami said as he smiled at her."Really" Kazuko asked being shocke
The beam landed on the ground and caused a large explosion as it destroyed the whole area. "This can't be" Mitsuki said as she fell on her knees. "She's gone" Asahu said. Yami clutched his fits in fury as he thought "Come on Kazuko, you've always been the proudest among all of us, you can't go now" as he screamed "Come on Kazuko! What do you think you're doing? Win this already!!!" As the light disappeared, they all sensed a powerful magic energy as Kazuko said "I told you, your puny attacks won't work on me!!! It's time to get really serious" "Kazuko!!!" They all shouted with joy. "She survived that. She's really something" Gildart thought. "I now understand why they gave her this beast to fight, it's to test how strong she can truly get. It's amazing how she's been holding back for so long, I was starting to think the host this year were cruel" the stage 2 instructor thought. Kazuko screamed as she fle
During Natsu's fight with the spiders, Kazuko just stepped into the fighting space for her exams. Kazuko was in a plain field filled with little grasses as she looked up to see the clear blue sky while the wind blew, making her hair and cloth to move. "What kind of creature would she be fighting?" Yami thought as he watched Kazuko. He saw an eagle fly past her, as it made a loud noise and landed behind her. Kazuko turned back and looked at the eagle and thought, "I'm fighting an eagle, I thought this was going to be hard, but guess I was lucky" Kazuko let down her guard seeing it's an eagle and shouted, "I thought my exam was meant to be as tough as the others" Gildart spoke through the microphone and said, "Don't underestimate your opponent, just because it's an eagle doesn't mean it's weak" "Well it's time for your exam to begin, hope you are ready" Gildart said as he turned towards the stage 2 instructor. "Okay
"I guess this is our punishment for abandoning that boy" the young man said."Hey!!! Grab on!!!!!" Natsu screamed as he swung pass the bees towards them.They were all surprised to see him coming towards them as the other boy said "But how, he's meant to be dead"The young man ran and picked up the cutting boy as he shouted "Let's go!!!"The shiny boy picked the other boy up as him and the young man ran towards Natsu.Natsu stretched his hands towards them and grabbed the young man, while the shiny boy jumped and held Natsu in his waist region, as the other boy grabbed Natsu’s leg, so that the shiny boy can hold tight onto Natsu.Natsu bit his teeth in pain as the rope became too tight on his hand due to the weight, as he tried to hold on.The rope was wrapped on Natsu hands and went towards his waist, as blood began flowing through his hands.The young man noticed Natsu facial expressions as he thought "He's in
Meanwhile, the other contestants are been chased by some strange bees as they tried jumping over vines while moving around the forest, trying to get away from them."Fire ball, Exploding Stars" the shiny boy said as he turned towards the bees and shot lots of small shiny balls.As soon as the bees came in contact with it, the little balls exploded which caused a chain reaction, causing the whole place to be covered in flames."We're safe!" The other boy shouted as he saw the explosions."No we're not!" The shiny boy replied."Yeah, do you think those pathetic little balls would stop them!" The cutting boy said."Why don't you attack them mister hotshot!" The shiny boy replied."Sure no problem!" The cutting boy said as bees emerged from the explosion."Well it's now or never to try that attack!" The young man said as he was carrying the three girls on his shoulder while running."Cutting magic, Ultimate
Natsu spun himself as he was entering into the hole, which made him move like a drill as he started becoming dizzy.As he went inside, the spiders shot webs towards him which stopped him.One of the spiders rushed towards Natsu, but before it could do anything, the giant spider made a loud noise which made the spider to stop, as the gigantic spider started moving towards him."What's going on? It looks like I over spun myself" Natsu thought as he opened his eyes and noticed everything around him moving.Natsu heard a weird loud noise and thought "My ears! Wait, I can't move my body, don't tell me I'm stuck"Natsu closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he tried to stop feeling dizzy while thinking "I need to balance myself, plus, I don't have much time remaining, and who knows how much time I've spent fighting this thing?""Would I be able to get to the Hunters exam before it finishes?""I don't know, but I need to fin
"Are you hearing yourself! You can't fight those beasts on your own, you would just die, especially in the shape you're in" the water girl said."She's right, they're pretty strong. Plus, your outnumbered, there's no way you would win" the young man said.The rest just looked at him in amusement of his stupidity."I know I can't win them on my own, that's why I want to ask you guys for help" Natsu said as he bowed his head."Hell nah!" one of the girls said."Yeah, are you crazy! Do you think we would just go back inside just because you asked" one of the boys said."Yeah he's right, even with our numbers, we can't win against them" the other girl said feeling pretty shy."I don't want you guys to follow me inside, all I want is for the cutting guy and the light person to help enchant my blades, so I would be able to see and easily cut them" Natsu said still bowing his head."You can't still win with that, you'r
