Chapter 57: Fighting Is So Fun
Dispelling the summoning of his bare hand, the surging magic power and terrifying brute force retreated like a tide. The wild feeling also gradually dissipated.
"Hmph."
Rayn exhaled rapidly, and sweat began to appear on his body, soon covering his upper body. It shone with a crystalline luster under the sunlight. The stamina consumption of the second boost was even stronger than before. The mental burden was also the same. Although the curse could not erode his will, the burden it brought would not disappear because of this.
"Master, is Laxus alright?"
After simply adjusting his breathing, Rayn walked towards Makarov. He had held back a little with the last punch. However, this was after all the power after being strengthened, and Rayn could not perfectly control it now.
"Thanks to your mercy, it's just a fracture and excessive magic consumption. He'll be fine in a while," Makarov said, shaking his head gently and gratefully. A strange gaze swept over Rayn's body.
From the first time he taught Rayn in the East Forest, he knew that Rayn's fighting style was very wild. He didn't expect that it could be so wild now. Facing the enemy's magic attack, he directly used violence to defeat it.
He had originally thought that Rayn was a steady child. Now it seemed that he was not a steady and obedient child at all. When he fought, he was like a beast!
"What's wrong?"
Under Makarov's strange gaze, Rayn twisted his body uncomfortably, looking at himself to see if there was anything strange.
"Rayn..."
Kanna's calm call interrupted Makarov who was about to speak. The two looked over. They saw Kanna holding a greatsword that was taller than her, a sword that even an adult would have to take a deep breath to hold, running over. Behind her were the others with subtle expressions. It was obvious that this scene made them feel very strange.
"Here!"
Coming to Rayn, Kanna handed out the greatsword, raising her little head to reveal her expressionless face. Her tail swayed gently behind her, and her feet were slightly on tiptoe. Although she did not speak, a look of wanting to be praised was shown.
"Thanks, Kanna."
Taking the greatsword and putting it beside him, Rayn smiled gently and put his hand on Kanna's head. The little dragon girl then stood on tiptoe and actively rubbed against him.
"Rayn?"
A slightly hesitant voice came from not far away. Looking up, he saw Carolin with a strange expression. And besides her, the other guild members also had more or less strange expressions. Their eyes were full of disbelief.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Rayn showed a curious expression. Why were they all looking at him like this?
"No... it's just that you're too different when you fight than usual."
The familiar expression finally confirmed to Carolin that she had not mistaken him. She breathed a sigh of relief and became relaxed. And the others also nodded one after another, agreeing with her words.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be really hard to imagine that the violent person who was like a beast just now was the harmless Rayn of the past. At the same time, their gazes looked at the greatsword stuck to the side, and a sense of understanding rose in their hearts. No wonder Rayn would choose to use this kind of weapon.
"I just think that fighting is really fun, so it just happened naturally."
Rayn grinned, showing a hearty smile. His bare upper body, his bloody left fist, and the fierce greatsword all confirmed the weight of his words.
"Don't say such contradictory things with that face!"
Looking at the still-childish and cute face, but saying such words, everyone really wanted to complain in their hearts.
"Alright, let's go back first."
Makarov, who also suppressed his desire to complain, stopped everyone. Although Laxus's injuries were not serious, he still needed to rest. Rayn's current state also needed rest. There was no need to stay here.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Macao was the first to respond to the master's words. He went forward to help carry Laxus and walked towards the town.
"The fight is over, let's go back and drink!"
"Both Rayn and Laxus, these two kids are really amazing."
"Laxus is the master's grandson, after all."
"Don't be ridiculous. Even if he's the master's grandson, he wouldn't become so strong for no reason. It's Laxus who worked hard."
"That's true."
"I told you before that Rayn fights fiercely, but you didn't believe me."
These words were spoken by Wakaba. Thinking of the surprised expressions of everyone just now, he couldn't help but let out a triumphant hum. In the guild, he was the first person to witness Rayn's actual combat. Now, he inexplicably felt a sense of superiority.
"Speaking of which... I remember you guys seem to have bet on Laxus to win, right?"
Macao, who was carrying Laxus, suddenly stopped and looked at the few people from that day.
"We've watched such a satisfying battle. Even if we have to treat, it's worth it!"
Bisca did not deny it, but instead said loudly.
"That's right!"
"Today, no one goes home until they're drunk! It's on us!"
The others also responded to his words one after another.
"Rayn, are there any side effects after using that magic tool?"
Looking at the noisy crowd in front of him with a smile, Makarov turned to look at Rayn and asked softly. After all, it was a multiple-fold increase. Many people trained for several years and might not be able to double their magic power. However, Rayn did it with a magic tool. If there were no side effects, Makarov would not believe it.
Gildarts, who also stayed at the end, also looked at Rayn without speaking. It was obvious that he also thought so.
"There are, but I can handle it," Rayn did not deny it, but said with a confident and calm expression.
The obsession in the Sacred Gear, which was almost a curse, was indeed difficult to deal with. But Rayn didn't care at all. Although he didn't like to deny others...
Those guys were just a bunch of losers, how could they affect him? This was not arrogant conceit, but a confidence that would not be shaken even in death! Of course, Rayn also didn't want to have a noisy voice in his mind when he used his bare hands. So, it was still necessary to remove that obsession, just not now. He was still unable to touch the sea of resentment where the obsession existed.
"It's good that you're confident."
The strong confidence made the two of them look at each other, and then Makarov smiled. Since his guild member had such confidence, then as a 'parent,' he just needed to trust him and provide help when he needed it.
"And I'll help!"
Looking at the unyielding Kanna who raised her hand, Rayn smiled.
"Of course, we are inseparable partners."
Watching the group of noisy Fairy Tail members leaving, an old man among the residents sighed with emotion.
"This generation of Fairy Tail is going to be very lively."
