Chapter 69

Next day.

At Hargeon port, the Fairy Tail teams and others are waiting for their boat to arrive, at the same time, they are also waiting for the last member to arrive.

"That Gray...He's late! And we haven't even started training yet." Erza crossed her arms as an annoyed scowl made its way to her face.

"Just let the poor boy alone Erza, I'm sure Gray has his reasons." Mira said with her usual smile.

At that moment, Erza spotted Gray running towards them.

"Sorry I'm late, I-" however, before Gray could even finish talking, he was kicked in the ȧss by Erza, causing him to dall down in all fours.

And even then, Erza was still kicking him in the buŧŧ with a scary expression.

"You have grown some guts to make us wait?! Huh?! Huh?! How dare you arriving at this time!!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Gray tried his best to resist getting beaten up to no avail, he's no match for Erza, then he decided to drag the person that caused all of this with him, "Ouch! Its not my fault! Ouch! Its Natsu! He's the reason why I'm late!"

Erza stopped kicking him and turned her head towards Natsu, who has his back facing her, "Natsu." The fourth master looked over his shoulders and glance at Erza with a smile.

Seeing that, Erza lost her anger, 'there's no way right? A guild master who managed the guild and improved it for seven years wouldn't allow his members to be late.'

"Its nothing." She said as Natsu just nodded and turned his head towards the sea, she didn't noticed the sly grin that was on Natsu's face.

Erza glared at Gray who already stood far away, as she chased him, "GRAY! You actually had the audacity to lie to me!?"

"Wha-?! I didn't lie! Its the truth! Ouch! Stop it!"

"Truth my ȧss!"

Natsu just listened to them with a smile on his face. Ultear and Kagura, who are standing beside him, noticed his smile and couldn't help but shook their heads.

Even though he didn't plan for it to happen, it was still pretty satisfying to watch Gray get beaten up by Erza.

In the past, there are many times where he was beaten up by Erza because of Gray, so this could be considered a payback.

Then, a large wooden ship then stops at the docks as Natsu turned towards the Fairy Tail group.

"Alright everyone, our ship is here, go and check your things and lets go."

Everyone nodded their heads and double check their own things before they followed after Natsu and boarded the ship.

Those who come along with Natsu are, the Fairy Tail team A, which consists of Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Lucy and Wendy, then the Fairy Tail team B(team A doesn't know the existence of team B), Ariel, Kagura, Laxus, Mirajane and Alex.

The exceeds, Lily, Happy and Carla also came, along with Ultear and Meredy.

....

At the ship, four hours later.

"Where are we heading Natsu-sama?" Kagura asks as she stood behind Natsu who is standing at the side of the ship, watching the sea.

"Natsu Island."

"....."

"....."

"....."

"Gehee~! So you owned an Island salamander? Just you wait, I will have an island much larger than yours." Gajeel said with a smirk as he some iron scraps.

'He believed it?' They stared at Gajeel in disbelief.

"Well, it isn't entirely false." Happy suddenly appeared with a raw fish in his hand. He was in the kitchen just now, 'asking' for some expensive fishes from the chefs.

He flew towards Carla and sat beside her as the female exceed raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Well, Natsu discovered that island by accident, it is unamed and full of many dangerous beasts, even a genuine wizard saint will have to be careful there."

Is he really planning on making them train there?

However, there are some people who seems to be confused. Lucy glanced at everyone and decided to ask,

"What does Happy mean by a 'genuine wizard saint'?"

Laxus was the one that answered her, "Exactly as it says, a genuine wizard saint are those who are chosen by the council. They are mages who has a trick or two up their sleeves that allows them to defeat any ordinary mages."

Seeing Lucy seems to be still confused, he decided to continue. "Take me for example, despite my magic power rivaling a saint class mage, It doesn't mean that I'm as strong as them, on contrary, even the weakest of the saints can defeat me, though it won't be an easy fight."

(A/N: I made it up, don't think too much about it, I just find the saints too weak in the original story)

"Oh~" Lucy nodded her head and couldn't help but shiver in fear. She knew how strong Laxus is, and even he isn't as strong as a wizard saint.

And the place they were heading to, is a place where even a wizard saint who are much stronger than the strongest person in the tenrou group here, needs to be careful.

"No need to worry about it, master won't let any of you die." Ariel suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

She stared at Natsu's back and grinned, "Isn't that right, master?"

Natsu just smiles, he did not even turn his head as he continue to look at the sea. However, his silence already answered everything as Ariel laughed.

She then glance at the black haired woman who is eating a slice of strawberry cake, and a pink haired young woman ċȧrėssing the hair of a sleeping young man.

"By the way, why are the two of you here, Ultear, Meredy? Isn't this supposed to be the training for the-hmmm." Natsu suddenly appeared beside her and covered her mouths.

Natsu then whispered something in her ears that even dragon slayers couldn't hear anything.

'Did you forgot that the team B is supposed to be a secret? I allow the two of them to come to not gain some suspicions.'

Ariel licked the palm of Natsu, causing the fourth to take his hands away from her mouth as he wiped the saliva away.

Ariel smirked and said, "I know that. I'm not even planning on saying those words, so you don't have to worry."

Natsu just sighed as he went back towards his previous posting and continue watching the sea.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, we can now see the 'Natsu Island' from here. So you all better be ready, you'll train like the world is ending."
