Chapter 16: Farce
The terrorist incident created by Eisenwald targeting the chairman of the regular meeting was made into big news and became known all over the country. In this incident, Eisenwald's conspiracy was discovered in time and the entire dark guild was defeated by Fairy Tail.
But Calvin, who had participated in this matter, did not change his life because of this. Today, he came to Fairy Tail as usual to spar. Since there was no financial pressure, Calvin behaved more and more like an uncle.
However, today he felt Fairy Tail was different and found something. That day, the entire guild was filled with an unusual fighting spirit.
"Who is fighting here?" As soon as Calvin came up with this question, he saw Natsu glaring at Erza aggressively and slowly walking out of the guild. Erza, who was glared at, also followed Natsu out of the guild with a serious expression.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Does Natsu provoke Erza and Erza didn't act up immediately?" Calvin looked at the backs of the two people in disbelief. This development was too unusual, already beyond his understanding.
"Previously, Natsu challenged Erza. He really has the courage. This is something even I don't dare to do..." Gray answered Calvin's question. His expression was full of expectation. He was looking forward to Natsu getting beaten up.
"He actually wants to challenge Erza. Doesn't he know that even if he wins, she will still try her best to win back? The teacher said in this aspect, these two are basically the same..." Calvin was sweating. Back then, he had also won against Erza. However, Erza's endless challenges made him feel mentally exhausted.
As this news spread, the others in Fairy Tail walked out of the guild's main area and surrounded Natsu and Erza, making a ruckus on the big street.
"It can't be, the rumor about the two of them is true" Suddenly, a delicate cry was heard. Calvin turned around and saw that it was a newcomer who had participated in the Eisenwald incident, Lucy. At this moment, the latter was looking at the two of them in surprise.
"Of course they are true. Whether it is Natsu or Erza, they are definitely people who are too serious when it comes to fighting." Calvin replied softly, his expression full of helplessness.
"But... these two people are the strongest person from the strongest guild... I still think..."
"Strongest group? What is this?" Before Lucy could finish, she was interrupted by Gray.
"Hey! You, Natsu, and Erza! aren't you in the top three of Fairy Tail?"
"Huh? Boring. Who said that?" Gray said disdainfully. What top three? How could he, who had not even reached the top three, be qualified to be called the top three?
Mira, who was behind Gray, immediately cried when she heard Gray's disdainful tone. She did not expect her kindness to be said to be boring.
"Although I admit that Natsu and Gray are very masculine, I won't admit that they are' the strongest '! Fairy Tail still has many very powerful people, such as me!" Elfman said to Lucy, a little annoyed. Although there was still some distance between him and Natsu, he was still one of Fairy Tail's masters.
"Yes, yes, I'm stronger than Erza, but you can't completely ignore me! Lucy, you're so mean!" Calvin was also dissatisfied. As one of Fairy Tail's strongest candidates, he would never admit that he was inferior to anyone.
"Hey! Calvin is better than Erza? No way!" When Lucy heard this, she cried out. In her eyes, Calvin was at the same level as Gray and Natsu. "But isn't Calvin also very afraid of Erza?"
"There is a reason... I am not good at dealing with people who are too good at recognizing the truth." When asked about this sensitive topic, Calvin felt that if he said that he was biased in S-Level's exam, it would damage his reputation and he felt that it was a stroke of the brush.
"This reaction, could it be that the two of them once had an affair" It had to be said that the dream of becoming a novelist was Lucy, who had quite the talent in this regard.
Not to mention how Lucy was imagining things in her mind, Erza and Natsu were already ready to fight!
"Sigh ---I'm going back to this boring battle." At this time, Calvin suddenly sighed and turned around to leave.
"Huh? Calvin, aren't you going to watch?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"I saw Natsu's level very clearly last time. Although he is a little stronger than Erigor, he is still far from Erza. Nothing is more boring than a competition that already knows the results." Calvin turned his back to the crowd, raised his right hand lightly as a farewell, and went home to drink.
In fact, Calvin was not really uninterested in the confrontation between the two. He felt that a familiar magic power had returned to Magnolia. That magic power belonged to Laxus.
With the other party's competitive character, Calvin could not guarantee that the other party would not be affected by the atmosphere at the scene and suddenly found him to fight.
Although he was very strong, Calvin did not like meaningless battles. Compared to this, he preferred to live leisurely. In essence, he hated violence.
He liked to be lively, but he hated violence.
Unfortunately, if he did not have considerable strength, he would be easily treated with violence in this world, just like when the village was attacked by poison dragons when he was a child.
When he returned home, Calvin took out ingredients from the refrigerator and skillfully cooked a delicate meal. Then he took out a bottle of good wine from the wine cellar and enjoyed it freely. He enjoyed the wonderful lunch and rare silence.
Personally, Calvin did not like the feeling of quiet very much, but he always hoped to be quiet for a while when it was noisy.
After lunch, the satisfied Calvin lay on the chair and took a nap. He did not wake up until Cana came to visit him at night.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so stinky? Did you lose a lot in the game?" Seeing Cana's livid face, Calvin not only teased but also laughed. He remembered very clearly that today, Cana made a bet with Natsu and Erza.
"You still don't know?"
"Huh"
"Erza was taken away by Council. She said that she was seriously damaged in the Eisenwald incident." Cana told him everything seriously. It turned out that the duel just now was interrupted by the messenger who came over from Council and arrested Erza.
"Oh! Don't worry, Erza will be released soon." However, Calvin, who heard what happened, said indifferently.
"?"
"That's just a ceremony. If this really happens, there will be a lot of storms. Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, Council will still suffer a lot of criticism. To divert the attention of the masses, those old men found a scapegoat to punish him. They are just acting. There is no need to worry."
"But... but, I'm afraid that Natsu has already gone to Council to make a scene!"
"Oh ---This is a little bad... I'm afraid that it will be closed for a while."
