"Maybe I should cause him more pain to see if he would break" Dr Mayumi said in a very low tone. "I heard you!" Natsu said as he gently sat down and looked at everyone who was looking at him strangely, as they had the same thought, "Who the hell is this kid?" "He's talking to Dr Mayumi like their friends already. Besides, she's always pushing people away, and most times, she's always on her own. Plus, she only hangs around strong and cool people, like me, Osamu, and Tetsuya. She even pushes me away sometime, but with the way she's conversating with this kid, I'm sure there's something special about him" Gildart thought. "Hey, Dr Mayumi, I don't mean to pry into your life or anything, but how do you know Natsu?" Kazuko asks. Dr Mayumi looked at her strangely as she gave a very serious gaze at Kazuko. "Well, you see, you're a big shot, so I was wondering how a small fry like him knows you" Kazuko says as she then looked downwards, trying to remove her eyes from Dr Mayumi, as she sta
"We're here" Gildart says as he continues, "This is where Stage 2 of the exams is going to commence" "Wow, the place is so big" the contestants said as they were amazed by the wonderful site of the building. "Let's go in, we don't have much time" Gildart said as he walked into the building. "Wow, the inside is massive!" a contestant said. "Yeah, what do you think is inside?" Another continues as the rest starts making guesses. On the other hand, Kazuko, Mitsuki, and Asahu were listening in on Yami and Natsu's conversation. "What do you think is inside?" Yami asked. "Well Yami, I think we are going to be fighting powerful beasts" Natsu said. "And why did you say that?" "Well it's simple really, why else would they make a facility this big?" "Hmmm, that makes sense, because this hall is way too big for only humans" "Exactly, that's why I think we would be fighting gigantic beasts" Natsu said in sadness. The instructor then stopped and faced the contestants saying. "Everyone
"Huhhhhhh!!!!!" "They froze everything" the supervisor said in shock. Everyone was really surprised with their degree of power. "You dummies, how do you expect to pass through when you just created a wall of ice" Gildart said as he lift his hands and held his head in frustration as Kazuko and Mitsuki went towards the map at the wall. "Hey are you done?" Asahu says still feeling angry. "Yeah I'm done" Kazuko and Mitsuki replies as they continued speaking, "I've memorized the map of this place, let's go destroy them" "So we can start going right" Asahu asked. "Yeah" they both replied. "That's good, so let's start the hunt! Phoenix flames, Spinning drill!!!" Asahu says as his magic seal appeared with a flame like drill on it, as he runs towards the ice and started tunnelling through it. A girl with a long green hair whose a little bit on the flat side shouted, "If you are doing the Hunters exam, follow those three and if you're an Adventurer follow me" A boy with brown hair, ave
"Guess I'm of" Natsu said as he stood up and began to head into the forest. The place they are to take there exams was like a forest. The forest was really large and it had different kinds of leaves and flowers, even the trees had different varieties of fruits and each of them had different shapes. Although, they were different kind of plants, they were some plants that were the same, as it wasn't every tree that was different but most of it. "Wow, the forest is really beautiful!" Natsu said as he was astonished by the forest. "It's very beautiful, but why are there so many different kind of trees everywhere. Plus, if this goes on, many people would get lost" Natsu complained. "I know, I can leave a mark on the trees, that way I won't get lost. But one question, where is the safe zone and where are we meant to exit from if we are done with the exam?" Natsu thought as he then realized that the exam was going to be tough, and not as easy as him and Yami thought. Natsu brought out th
As Natsu broke the wall and entered into the area with little light and water on the ground, the beast licked its cub wound and carried it to the nest as it then went back to fight Natsu. It saw Natsu on the ground with little water covering his knees and elbows as it then spread its wings and went towards him with its claws stretched out and its mouth wide open. Natsu fell towards the ground causing the beast to miss him as the it landed in his front and then gave him a deadly look. "Yep it's out to kill me, I guess I'm now in big trouble" Natsu thought as he stood up from the ground. Natsu had a little distance between him and the beast as he then swallowed his saliva indicating that he was terrified. They looked at each other for a while before the beast leaps towards him trying to devour him. Natsu jumped towards the corner to avoid getting killed as he then pulled out his knife to fight. "This creature is going to be tough and hard to beat, its reflexes are sharp but it doe
As the rock got close to the wall, Natsu jumped off only to see another big rock heading towards him. "Shit!!!" Natsu thought as he collides with it, as it was carrying him closer to the wall. "This wasn't what I was expecting" Natsu thought. He immediately tried standing on the rock as he then jumped towards the wall and ran a little on it, before jumping away from the wall making it look like a back flip. The rocks broke the wall as Natsu landed on the ground, as the place brightened up a little since light came through the wall. "That was close, I can't believe I just did that, guess I'm a little bit cool" Natsu thought as he started facing the beasts direction. Suddenly a small rock hit Natsu's head throwing him towards the ground. The mother was breathing heavily as she stopped the attack. The two cubs were worried about their mom as they came very close towards her and began to rub their body against hers. Natsu saw this as he was lying down, he felt pity for the cubs as
"Guess I'm really unlucky, there is no way of me surviving this" Natsu thought as he began giving up hope on survival. As Natsu was going deeper, he realized that it became harder to go down. It wasn't really about the thickness of the mud but the rope started becoming harder to stretch. "This rope really took time to reach its limit" Natsu thought as he continued going deeper into the quicksand. "Wait something is wrong, now that I think about it, a quicksand isn't this deep, which means, 'I'm in a swamp'!" Natsu thought as he felt more frustrated. But as he was feeling bad, something unexpected happened. He felt the swamp move like something was swimming inside. "Please let it not be I'm fighting a beast, please let it not be I'm fighting a beast, please let it not be I'm fighting a beast!!!" Natsu thought hoping for the best. Although he couldn't see, the beast moved around him for a little before stopping right in front of him. The beast had a sturdy, elongated body, with
As Natsu was heading towards the branch, the Moltopus saw him and decided to close in on him. Natsu finally got to the top of the branch as he untied the rope on his waist and tree branch. Since Natsu wasn't sure which side is solid or swampy, he tied the other end of the rope to his other knife, as he then decided to swing on the trees instead of walking. Suddenly the Moltopus hit the tree he was on, making it to shake. Natsu Lost balance as he almost fell off, but he stabbed the branch in the nick of time which helped him not to fall. As Natsu looked down, he saw the beast trying to climb the tree. He immediately climbed the branch well using his knife and tried standing on it. "It's now or never" Natsu said as he took a deep breath and then swung the rope, as he threw it shouting, "Stretch" Immediately the rope wrapped itself around the tree branch, Natsu shouted, "Return to original size" which made the rope pull him towards the tree branch. The Moltopus saw this and enter
The contestants landed on an island filled with trees and after walking for a while, they arrived at a cave as Gildart told them the rules and announced the beginning of the exam, as Kazuko dashed towards the entrance of it."Wow, she's fast" Damian said as Dr Mayumi replied, "Yeah, why was she in a rush""Who knows, I just hope she doesn't ruin the exams" Gildart said, but before he could say anything more, Damian felt like he had to tell the contestants something, so he said, "Just to point out something, when Gildart said your major focus should be making it out of there alive, he literally meant it, be one hundred percent vigilant, they're deadly traps and beasts waiting for you in there, so be really careful and extra cautious."What!!!" The contestants screamed as Gildart said, "Yeah, why do you have to ruin the fun, I already told them to try and make it out of there alive, so why did you have to destroy everything by giving them the details?"
Both the adventures and hunters entered into a ship as they began moving towards the next exam location."Okay everyone, we are currently heading towards the next examination site so for now just relax and have some fun, once we get there we'll let you know" Damian said as him and the rest took their leave."I'm going to try to plan for the next exam" Akari said as Makoto replied, "We don't even know anything about the next exam so how's that even going to be possible"The contestants looked at each other as they were unsure of what to do."Well I might as well have some fun since I may not make it out of the next exam" one of the girls said as everyone looked at each other and became excited since it was a cruise ship with luxurious activities and swimming pools.While all this was going on, Natsu was lying unconscious in one of the rooms as Yami stayed to monitor him.Asahu opened the door and came inside as he looked at Yami a
"Did I just see that, the boy carefully cut the beast vitals and killed it while still cutting it in a way that wouldn't affect the baby, but how did he do it" Damian thought after calling his team to head towards the place.Yami followed Damian and Dr Mayumi in excitement since he wanted to congratulate Natsu personally."Okay everyone let's begin moving, it's time to head towards the Stage 3 of the Exams.Kazuko looked at Natsu and saw him standing still being covered in blood as she began following the rest.Yami just arrived at the field and saw Natsu standing still as he rushed towards him and said, "That was incredible, I didn't know you could do that, you were really amazing""Yami" Natsu called out in a low tone which made Yami worried as he replied, "Yeah, what's it, I'm right here""Yami, I'm sorry for disturbing you but can you do me a favor""Of course I can, what's it""Please can you take me to the bathroom and also bring a first aid kit, so I can treat myself. Also, can
While Natsu was unconscious, the beast walked towards him as Yami thought, "Come on Natsu, what do you think you're doing? Get up"The beast stopped and looked at Natsu from a distance as a beam of light appeared in front of its mouth making a giant seal to appear in front of it.The beast shot the beam and as it passed through the seal, it merged all into one and moved towards Natsu.Yami saw this and was unable to hold himself anymore as he shouted, "Get out of there, Natsu!!!"The blast destroyed the whole place as a hole appeared on the wall as dust covered the area."I guess that was the end of him" Asahu said as Yami fell into deep thought.Kazuko saw a smile on Gildart face as she looked at the field and thought, "Something isn't adding up, is Gildart happy that he's dead or did he survive that"Kaikuh eyes widen as she heard a voice, "It's time to get serious, I'll slay this beast"The beast turned back as blood spilled out from one of its legs which stunned everyone except Gi
As Natsu lost consciousness, he had a little glimpse of his childhood, as the beast walked gently towards him.Natsu was hiding behind the bushes as he watched a lady bug eating from a plant and jumped out to catch it."I did it! Now I have to show grandma" Natsu said in excitement as he smiled and went home."Grandma!" Natsu screams while running towards her as she worked on the garden.His grandma stopped and smiled as Natsu ran towards her in excitement."Woah, what do we have here?" His grandma said as Natsu replied, "You won't believe this, I saw it eating from a flower and waited for the right time before catching it""That's incredible Natsu, you're just five but you're already learning how to hunt so quickly" she said as she squatted and scattered his hair, making Natsu to smile so joyfully."You can let the bug go now, let's finish with the farm and later go hunting for real" his grandma said as he freed it and
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
