"Everyone, gather in the center of the village!" Natsu yelled loudly as he ran, his eyes fixed on the sky.
"Natsu!" Lucy shrieked, but a hand suddenly held her back. "Just follow what he says," Chen Fan said calmly.
Chen Fan, who was carrying the unconscious Gray on his back, walked leisurely toward the village center as if he were taking an evening stroll. Lucy, in front of him, looked anxious. "Hurry up, Chen Fan!"
"Bang!" A huge explosion sounded in the sky. Natsu's large fireball collided with the acid falling from the bucket. Droplets of acid flew in all directions, but every splash that got close to Chen Fan slid away, not a single one touching his body.
The villagers stared in awe, thinking Chen Fan was incredibly lucky. Only Lucy, however, was looking at him with a suspicious gaze, as if she had realized something.
"You're really lucky, aren't you," a sarcastic voice rang out. Chen Fan turned toward the voice and saw a man kicking Bobo's tombstone, then looking at him.
Chen Fan's eyebrows furrowed. He had always been a show-off, and he hated it when others tried to steal the spotlight in front of him. 'Side characters should know their place,' he thought. He narrowed his eyes, and an invisible air cannon shot toward the man.
"Bang!" The man was thrown backward by Chen Fan's air cannon. The advantage of his Superpower was that it worked silently, unlike the spectacular nature of magic.
Since the attack was invisible, his other two companions were shocked, not realizing what had happened. They looked around warily.
"Be careful! That guy is a little weird!" the man hit by Chen Fan's air cannon struggled to get up.
"You don't have to say it, we already know, woof!" Toby barked at him.
"Angelica!" Sherry yelled, and the giant rat flew toward Chen Fan.
"Don't underestimate me! I'm also a member of Fairy Tail, hah...!" Lucy grabbed the giant rat's leg and flew into the sky. Chen Fan slapped his forehead, speechless. He thought, 'If all Fairy Tail members act this way, the guild would have been wiped out a long time ago.'
Just then, Natsu ran over. "Chen Fan, are you okay?!"
"I'm fine, but Lucy seems to be in trouble," Chen Fan replied, pointing at the giant rat that was falling from the sky.
Natsu looked at it. "Ah, she fell. I wonder if she'll be a pancake, huh?"
"Bang!" A punch landed on Natsu's head. "This is no time for jokes," Chen Fan said. He then turned to Happy. "Happy, fly up and check on Lucy's condition!"
"Aye, Sir!" Happy flew toward where Lucy fell.
"Alright, Chen Fan, you step back. I'll take on these two guys," Natsu said with a serious expression.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted. "Wait, I can fight too!" It turned out that Gray had woken up. Seeing that Natsu was going to fight two people alone, he wanted to help.
"Bang!" Chen Fan reached out his hand and hit the back of Gray's neck, knocking him out again. Gray's head lolled in shock, and Chen Fan said, "You're not fully recovered yet. You need to rest. Besides, when have you ever seen me in a bind?" Gray felt a little relieved and fainted again.
"Alright, Natsu, you can mess with the 'dog', I'll mess with this one," Chen Fan said.
"What dog? This is just an ornament, woof..." Toby protested.
"Are you sure you can handle him?" Natsu asked Chen Fan.
Suddenly, Chen Fan's face became very serious as he stared at Natsu, making Natsu feel uneasy. "W-what do you want?!" Natsu even put his hands up in front of his chest.
"A man must never say he can't! Even if he can't, he must be able to!" After saying that, he turned away coldly, leaving Natsu frozen.
Chen Fan walked in front of Yuka and beckoned him with his finger.
"Hold on, who are you? Why have I never heard your name in Fairy Tail?"
"Who am I? What the hell, stop talking so much nonsense. Here I come!" Chen Fan cracked his knuckles. He stomped his foot and shot toward Yuka.
"Barrier Wave!" Yuka stretched out his hands, and a blue protective barrier appeared in front of him. "It's useless! All magic is powerless in front of me, ah...!" He hadn't finished speaking when an invisible fist hit him, sending him flying and crashing to the ground with a "Bang!"
"Damn it! I hate it when people show off in front of me!" Chen Fan grumbled.
"How is that possible?! How did you get through my Barrier Wave?!" Yuka struggled to get up.
"Want to try again?" Chen Fan asked in a mocking tone. Yuka nodded.
"Alright then." Chen Fan shot forward again. Chen Fan's sudden movement startled Yuka. He quickly stretched out both his hands and yelled, "Wave!!!"
"Whoosh..." Chen Fan stopped right in front of the blue barrier. He slowly stretched out his fist, touched the barrier, and said to Yuka, "This is how I get through it. Your calculations are too low!"
"Cring..." The sound of breaking glass was heard. The blue magic barrier began to crack under Chen Fan's fist, then "whoosh!" disappeared into thin air.
Yuka's mouth hung open, staring blankly at Chen Fan's fist, even forgetting to dodge.
Suddenly, Chen Fan's fist shot out quickly. "Bang!!" Yuka was sent flying again, his eyes rolling back as he passed out.
"Tsk, you should have pretended to be dead from the start. You made me waste my time," Chen Fan spat on the ground.
He turned around and yelled at Natsu who was still fighting. "Not done yet?! I've been waiting until the flowers have withered!"
Seeing that Chen Fan had finished his fight, Natsu clenched his fist and said to Toby, "Alright! The next punch will send you flying!"
"What are you saying?! Wasn't I the one chasing you all this time, woof?!"
