Chapter 26 24-hour endurance race? The prototype of the strongest team!
"Click! Click! Click..."
In a hotel near Fairy Tail Guild...
Natsu was like a hungry beast that had been hungry for ten days and a half...
Cleaning all the food on the table and devouring it.
He stuffed fruits, meats, vegetables, and all kinds of edible things into his stomach, making the diners around him widen their eyes in shock.
Perhaps, this is the secret and strength of the dragon-slaying magisters who can always maintain sufficient mental power, right? ! They have an unusual appetite.
"Does this guest need additional food?"
The restaurant waiter who had been guarding Natsu's table found that all the food on Natsu's table had been basically wiped out. He first picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. He managed a somewhat polite smile, approached Natsu and Ian's table, and asked.
"Look at him..."
Ian waved to the service staff and just asked Natsu.
"That big plate of roasted chicken just now, here are ten more!"
Natsu didn't mean to be polite at all, he looked at the service staff and grinned.
"Ten?"
The waiter thought he heard wrongly and repeatedly confirmed it to Natsu.
"Yeah, ten."
When Natsu heard this, he first stretched out his big oily hands and gently touched his bulging belly. He weighed it a little to see how much room there was in his belly, and finally nodded to confirm.
"Okay, okay..."
After the waiter repeatedly confirmed that the quantity of roasted chicken ordered by Natsu was correct, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.
"Chef, the guest at table A10 ordered ten roast chickens."
After the waiter reported the quantity of grilled chicken that Natsu ordered...
"What did you say? The customer at that table ordered ten roast chickens?!" The chefs in the kitchen were so shocked that their eyes widened and they asked in disbelief: "Is that child really a human being?"
An hour later...
"Eat enough! Eat enough!"
"Thank you boss for your hospitality, I will come again next time."
After Ian paid the bill and left the restaurant with Natsu who was full.
The chefs in the back kitchen, including the owner of the small shop, all gathered around. They came to the table where Ian and Natsu were sitting before, and looked at the small plates and large plates stacked one after another in front of them. The plate was extremely clean, even the chicken bones had been eaten clean, and there were not many food residues left. It could be called a table with real discs in action. He was shocked: "He actually ate them all. It's unbelievable." .”
"I remember that kid just now, he seems to be the magister from Fairy Tail, the Magister Guild next door, right?"
"I remember that his name seems to be Natsu. He is a child who joined the guild in the past year. From now on, whenever that child comes to our restaurant, we will give him a 50% discount..."
The owner of the shop thought for a while and then said this.
"Eh?!"
The staff and chefs in the small shop all showed shocked expressions after hearing what the boss said. You must know that their boss is known as the Iron Rooster...
Not to mention discounts, even the side dishes that other restaurants often give away are chargeable here. Their wages are often deducted for various reasons.
"Don't you think that child was very happy eating just now?"
The boss said, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He ignored the staff of these small shops and walked towards the kitchen, leaving behind a bunch of confused waiters and chefs.
"Hey! Have you seen enough?"
"When you've seen enough, come back to your respective posts and work hard!"
Before anyone could think about it, the boss's voice instantly echoed through the entire store.
"Oh!!"
After hearing this, the staff did not dare to delay any longer, and they returned to their respective posts one after another.
other side.
"When you are full, your strength will flow out."
"Hee hee, go back to Gray and get some exercise to help you eat!"
Natsu patted his round belly and grinned...
He was going to go back to the guild and have a big fight with Gray.
"Bang!"
Natsu thought of this and quickly came to the gate of Fairy Tail Guild. He kicked the wooden door open and shouted loudly: "Hey! Gray, come and have a showdown with me!"
< br>
"Oh!!"
However, when Natsu kicked open the wooden door, he happened to catch up with Makarov, the guild leader, standing on the guild's podium, announcing something important to everyone in the guild, so that no one in the guild went out. The magisters who were doing the mission looked up to the sky and let out a long roar of cheers.
"So lively?"
"Did something interesting happen?!"
At this time, Ian also returned to the guild. He looked at the members in the guild who kept raising their heads and cheering, and couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Ian, you were not in the guild just now..."
"Just now, President Makarov announced that this year's Fairy Tail Guild 24-hour rally will be held in a week!"
"We also require that all guild members who have not gone on a mission must participate without any unnecessary special reasons..."
"Of course this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the prize money for the champion of this year's 24-hour rally is one million J! Even the runner-up and third runner-up have rewards of 300,000 and 100,000 J respectively. It’s simply not too luxurious…”
After Ian asked back, the members of the guild responded excitedly.
"Huh?" "Old Ma, you have money to pay bonuses, but don't have money to pay fines?"
Upon hearing this, Ian looked at Makarov on the podium in the distance with murderous eyes, and asked silently.
"Ian you know..."
"The guild's assets belong to everyone in the guild, and my assets are only my personal assets. The two cannot be confused."
"I really don't have the money to pay the fine..."
After Makarov's eyes briefly crossed with Ian's across the crowd, he suddenly understood something, lowered his head and muttered silently in his heart.
And using the magic of talking, he kept explaining something to Ian.
"Forget it, I'll spare you."
Ian could only sigh helplessly and said nothing more.
"Ahem..."
After Makarov saw that he finally explained the money-related issues to Ian, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and coughed twice to clear his throat...
Immediately afterwards, Makarov had a serious face and put on the demeanor of the past president. He looked at Ian and continued to speak: "Speaking of which, it just so happens that you are back, Ian! I happen to have a task here, and I need to ask Ian for it. You finish it.”
This time, Makarov said it in front of everyone.
"Oh? What mission?"
When Ian heard this, he raised his brows slightly and asked what task Lao Ma was going to send him to complete.
"S-class crusade mission, it is said that there are traces of bipedal flying dragons in the snow-capped mountains east of the Kingdom of Fiore. It happens that we need to use the scales of these beasts in this year's 24-hour endurance race. With your strength, Ian, I will give you a You should be able to get it back in a week, right?”
Makarov put his hands behind his back and watched Ian preach.
"More than enough..."
Ian moved the back of his slightly stiff neck slightly and smiled confidently.
With his current strength, looking at the entire continent of Ishgar, there are not many creatures that can threaten him...
"Then I'll leave this task to you."
Makarov looked at Ian with confidence.
Lao Ma is still assured of Ian's strength.
"Are you going to be separated from your father?"
At this moment, Erza, who had been staying with her Fairy Tail companions in the guild, suddenly showed a disappointed expression. She had just met Ian, and in less than a day, she was about to leave. They were separated, which made Erza a little sad.
This scene naturally caught the eye of Ian...
Then, Ian raised his head, looked at President Makarov and said, "President, I'm just going to deal with some flying dragons. It shouldn't matter if I take some of my guild companions with me, right?" ? ”
"Whatever you want, but it's better to be careful."
Makarov didn't say much about Ian's decision...
Makarov believed in Ian's strength.
"What? Ian wants to take us to complete the S-class subjugation mission?"
"Are you kidding? This is a rare opportunity to complete an S-level mission with an S-level mage in the guild!"
"Ian take me there! I'm super useful!"
"Ian let me go! I don't want any reward, I just want to see the world..."
"Idiot, can you defeat a wyvern? You actually want reward..."
As Ian finished speaking, the entire guild was in chaos.
"Then if my name is called, come with me."
"Natsu, Gray, Kana and Erza..."
Ian ignored the noisy guild and announced loudly who would go on the mission with him.
"Ah?!"
As Ian finished speaking...
Gray and Natsu, who were fighting, were slightly startled at first, then reached out at the same time, tearing at each other's cheeks, and said angrily, almost in unison: "Ian, why did you bring this oil bottle with you?!"
"Ah? Can I go too?"
Kana is the only one in the guild who is not very interested in participating in S-level missions, or Kana who doesn't think she has a chance at all and completes S-level missions with Ian...
After hearing Ian's words, she froze on the spot, and even the red wine in her glass spilled all over the floor because of her stunned look and disbelief.
"Both of you, stop it!"
"If anyone is a dragster!"
"In my opinion, both of you are..."
Erza, who had long crimson hair and wore knight armor, walked between Gray and Natsu, and said angrily after forcing the two people apart.
"Ai, Erza..."
Natsu was a little scared when he looked at Erza. He was a little bit shaken by Erza's punch in the morning. After all, the power of that punch made him faint. He didn't even have time to eat lunch. He almost died like this. Passed out from hunger.
"Everyone, get ready to go!"
After announcing the list, Ian looked at everyone present and spoke softly.
The first update, a big chapter, three thousand words! And...
