Chapter 18: Laxus
Sorry for not uploading I got a cold in the evening. Can't do much work because of it.
Sorry, I'm not good at English.
If you can find any mistake. Could you please tell me where I can improve? That would be very helpful.

"Hey, kid."
Someone knocked on the table in front of Arden. Arden looked up and saw Laxus's arrogant face.
"You've been very arrogant lately. Want to fight with someone? How about you come and fight me?"
Laxus looked at Arden with an aggressive look. Arden knew what his purpose was.
"No."
Arden refused directly.
"That's not up to you!"
Laxus sneered, lightning flashed in his hand, and he shot at Arden.
"Laxus!" With the roar, Arden knew that he didn't need to act. Makarov stepped in to block the attack, shielding Arden with his large palm. Laxus's electric light struck the palm, but it had no effect.
Laxus looked at Makarov who looked angry, and said in displeasure: "Old man, what do you want to do?"
"It's what you want to do!"
Makarov growled: "You want to take action against your companions in the guild?!"
Makarov couldn't understand why the originally well-behaved child became like this.
"I want to be the next Master of Fairy Tail! Old man, please retire!"
Laxus said coldly: "No one can stop me!"
"Hey, hey, I just can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said."
Before Makarov could speak, Arden stood up, looked directly at Laxus, and said, "Unfortunately, although I don't want to be the Master, I am quite interested in the title of the fourth Master. Therefore, I will not leave the title of the fourth Master guild leader to anyone!"
"Then you want to become my enemy?"
Laxus's forehead was throbbing with veins, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at Arden.
"You can try."
Arden fought back without hesitation, their eyes collided in the air, and sparks burst out between them.
"Both of you, calm down!"
Makarov had a headache but still managed to overpower Laxus and Arden with one hand.
So there is a new person joining the race. If you don't leave a good impression on me, what are you doing?
And He's not dead yet!
Arden and Laxus fell silent, but when they looked at each other, it was obvious that the feud was finally settled.
Arden knew very well who Laxus was. After thinking about the Fairy Tail Civil War, he made up his mind that the first plot he wanted to change was to erase the Fairy Tail Civil War.
As the core of this plot, Laxus must be settled first!
Ignoring Arden's mental activities, Makarov looked at the shocked Natsu, smiled, and said, "Are you okay? You're not scared, are you?"
"Awesome! It turns out there are so many powerful people in the guild. I'm so excited!!"
It was obvious that Makarov was overthinking. How could a stubborn person like Natsu be affected by this?
"Master, is this a newcomer?"
Cana glanced at Natsu and asked Makarov.
"Yeah. His name is Natsu Dragneel, and he masters a lost ancient magic."
"Oh? You master such a rare magic?"
When the others heard this, they immediately became interested.
"Certainly!"
Natsu puffed up his chest and said, "My dragon-slaying magic was taught to me by my father Igneel!"
"Ignir? Who is it? Never heard of it?"
"I don't know, it's probably some old monster."
"Ignir is not a monster, he is a dragon! A fire dragon!"
Listening to the murmurs of the guild members, Natsu suddenly shouted, but soon he said a little discouraged: "But he disappeared, disappeared in front of me..."
Dragon?!
Facing the legendary creature, everyone was stunned. They wanted to say that this was impossible, but looking at Natsu's depressed look, they couldn't say this.
"Idiot, how long has it been since the dragons disappeared? There are no dragons anywhere in the world."
Just because others won't say it, doesn't mean Laxus won't say it.
"There are dragons in this world."
Just as Laxus finished speaking, Laxus Dreyar suddenly spoke, confusing everyone who had not had time to react.
"Is there a dragon? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
Laxus scoffed, looking unbelieving.
"Yes, I've seen it."
Arden looked at Laxus tit for tat and said, "But that guy is a black dragon. I only saw it flying past from a distance, but even so, I can feel how terrifying that guy is."
"Black dragon?!"
Everyone was confused. Seeing what Arden said about having seen a Dragon, they couldn't guarantee whether what Arden said was true.
Natsu looked at Arden with excitement and said, "Have you seen the dragon?! Can you take me there? I want to ask him if he has seen Igniel."
Hearing Natsu's words, Arden was speechless.
Where is he going to find Acnologia? Even if he finds it, if Natsu goes to ask, he will probably be bitten to death by Acnologia.
"Sorry, I just took a look from a distance. I don't know where he went."
Arden could only tell a lie and did not directly tell Natsu the truth.
Natsu was a little disappointed, but on the other hand, seeing that his words were overturned by Arden, Laxus's forehead was throbbing with veins, he looked at Arden and whispered: "You bastard..."
Arden looked at Laxus, who was already like a powder keg, ready to explode at the first touch, and sighed slightly: "Do you want to fight me?"
"Certainly."
Laxus clenched his fist and said with lightning flashing: "But If I win, you have to stand at the entrance of the guild and shout "I am weak" to me a hundred times!"
"Good."
Arden also looked at Laxus and said, "But If you lost, you have to kneel and apologize to Master Makarov!"
Hearing Makarov's words, Laxus' anger suddenly rose, and the lightning around him became even more intense.
"You bastard..."
"If you don't hurry, you should leave. Who wants to fight with you?"
Once the provocative strategy was unveiled, Laxus fell into the trap.
He has a mischievous nature and is young, so he can't resist the excitement.
"Arden...Laxus...sigh..."
Makarov couldn't help but sigh as he watched the two of them facing each other, but he didn't stop it.
When others saw this, they also became interested.
Makarov and Laxus can be said to be the strongest two of the younger generation. They are going to fight, and it seems like it will happen. So, this fight is worth watching!
While thinking this, Makarov and Laxus had already walked out of the guild.
Seeing this, other people also followed out and waited for the fight between the two.
As for the two of them fighting until the end and couldn't stop fighting?
They are not worried at all. After all, Makarov's title of Holy Ten Mage is not just for boasting, but for real strength!
What kind of trouble can these two little brats create in front of Makarov?
