Magical Merchant in Fairy Tail

Gray heard the reputation and saw that Kira was talking to a fat boy with a snotty nose.

"Okay! Isn't it just 1 J? I bought it!" The little boy sucked his snot back forcefully, handed the money to Kira foolishly, and took the toy box back.

Kira smiled brightly: "Thank you for your patronage! Have fun!"

"What are you guys doing??!!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Facing Gray's baseless accusation, Kira just waved his hand perfunctorily after returning.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a business? What's the big deal if you like me?"

"You are clearly deceiving the children, right?!"

Kira denied it with a serious face: "No! The 'Tricky 101 Series' is one of my favorite masterpieces, and the children in Magnolia like it very much! As long as it is not confiscated by the child's parents, I guarantee that he will become the king of children in this area!"

"Hey, hey... how bad is a magic toy that will be confiscated?... You are clearly leading the children to the road of delinquent boys!"

"Don't worry! You see, I used to play tricks a lot. I'm not a well-known mage now? Besides, that thing can also train their reaction speed, improve their IQ, and increase their enthusiasm for magic! Take a look at this How is the magic on the mainland declining? As a new generation of super mages, I must of course contribute to the promotion of magic!"

At this time, Kira felt that his whole body was filled with the radiance of justice and love.

"Forget it, I don't want to care about such things!" Gray was speechless, but he was also used to it, "Anyway, don't fool yourself. By the way, have you seen Natsu, Lucy and Happy?"

"them?!"

Looking around, Kira realized that these guys were not around, thinking about it again, frowned and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that they have disappeared since entering the town... Maybe they sneaked somewhere for a date? "

"Huh? Date?!"

"Otherwise? Could it be that he was abducted by human traffickers? The kidnappers probably wouldn't want such a big man, right? They're all adults..."

The second level of the dessert competition is to let the challengers make enough eye-catching desserts to satisfy the judges. As long as the total points given by the judges are enough, it will be considered a pass.

While Kira and Gray were talking, Erza and Wendy had already passed the second test with lightning speed and high scores.Of course, judging from the happy faces and loving eyes of the judges, Kira felt that the score was not just for desserts.

After two levels in a row, most of the challengers have been screened out. Erza and Wendy came to the third level: Conquering tourists with desserts, within a certain period of time, if they get enough praise from tourists, they will pass the level.

This is why so many tourists gather: even if you can't make it to the competition, you can still taste free sweets here, which is a great boon for children and sweet tooth lovers.

At the very beginning of this level, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly rose, and all the tourists gathered here were boiling, especially the male tourists, whose eyes turned into pink hearts.

"Miss Erza, here, here..."

"Wendy sauce, choose me, choose me..."

The shouts were so loud that they directly suppressed the other challengers.

"Really... Is this a 'dessert contest' or a 'beauty contest'..."

Gray was speechless, scratching his hair and complaining. He thought he would get Kira's approval, but he didn't wait for the expected voice, so he turned his head curiously, "Kira, at least you can say something..."

Not far away, there was another familiar scene.

"Don't worry, little brother! This is the number one prank toy in Ishgar, and it will definitely make you the king of kids in this city!"

This time, standing in front of Kira was a thin boy.

"But...but I don't have enough money..."

Kira touched the boy's head gently, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's your luck to meet me, you are very similar to me when I was a child, everyone is so destined, you can give as much as you have .”

The boy took out a handful of coins from his pocket, counted them, and said timidly, "I only have 7600J, is that okay?"

"sure!"

The two took the money in one hand and delivered the goods in the other, and quickly completed the transaction.

Gray pulled Kira back: "You bastard again??!

This kid already looks very pitiful, don't lie to him! "

"I didn't lie to him!" Kira said proudly, "'Tricky 102' is one of my favorite masterpieces. Even if I encounter 'Tricky 101', it can still compete, as long as it is not accepted by his parents. Let's go, we will definitely become one of the kings of children!"

"You guy is really..."

"oh oh!

Erza and the others have passed! "

The unspoken words were directly interrupted by Kira, and Gray could only continue to focus on the game.Erza and Wendy passed all the way, and finally came to the fourth and final level.

This level is a ring battle. Challengers who have passed the first three levels are eligible to attack the challenger, and they can only be considered winners if they are defeated according to the rules of the ring guard—of course, such rules must be approved by the competition. , Standing on the ring is today's winner.

Challengers can choose any time to start the challenge, but they only have one chance, and only one person can challenge at a time.

Now the guardian is a rough and cheeky uncle. His method of guardianship is "knife skills". The rule is to use a kitchen knife to carve rock sugar, which should surpass his works in terms of image.

And the work of this uncle with cheeks, which is used to guard the ring, is a fire-breathing dragon.From head to tail, from blade scales, from wings to claws, everything is exquisite, beautiful and lifelike, which is amazing.The most important thing is that this carved dragon is only the size of a thumb!

This work was highly recognized by the judges and audience.According to insiders, this uncle has defended the ring since the beginning of the match today, and no one can beat him.

At this time, there are three contestants on the stage who have not yet challenged, besides Erza and Wendy who have just won the right to challenge: a young boy with short blond hair, a fat middle-aged cook, and A short uncle.

"I remember Erza and the others numbered more than 1000, right? Did only three of them come here?"

"I heard from the people next to me that there were originally two other people, but they failed to challenge that uncle."

Kira looked at it for a long time and said: "This kind of arena fight, if it is a competition, the best choice is to wait until the time is almost up before letting go; but since it is a competition of swordsmanship, there is no need to consider the time factor. "

"That's right! I think those three people didn't choose to challenge because they didn't have enough confidence to defeat the dragon, right? ——Although they seem to have almost finished their 'work'. "

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"You ask why..." Gray gave Kira a strange look, as if he didn't know why he couldn't think of such an obvious thing, "It's very simple, right? As long as someone can beat him later, maybe he will change the way of defending the ring. Don't they have a chance?"

Kira was directly speechless by Gray's thoughts: "But if he can defeat the dragon in these two aspects, why doesn't that person choose to continue to use this method to defend?"

Gray was silent: "What you said... is also correct..."

"According to Erza's personality, she should challenge directly."

Sure enough, just after Kira finished speaking, Erza on the stage had already moved.

At this time, she was wearing a cook's attire, with her long fiery red hair tied into a braid and thrown behind her back, holding a sharp kitchen knife about [-] centimeters in each hand, her expression was as serious as a praying nun, and her eyes were sharp and frightening. .

She didn't look like a cook who wanted to show off her knife skills, but more like a female knight who was about to set foot on the battlefield.

The next moment, Erza suddenly threw the two kitchen knives into the air, and the magic power instantly spread out to cover them, controlling the two kitchen knives in the air like controlling a long sword during a battle.

The kitchen knife is like a gust of wind, like thunder, and its speed is so fast that people can't catch the trajectory. The people below can only vaguely see two thin white lines glowing with light, winding up and down around the rock sugar, rotating left and right, interweaving a dense big net.

"Oh oh oh!

This aura is really worthy of Erza! "

"This approach seems to be in line with her character."

"So handsome!"

"Is that girl named Erza actually a mage? I've never seen such a powerful person before!"

Whether it was Kira, Gray, or the other audience below, they were all shocked by Erza's hand, and the words of praise were thrown out like no money.

Not long after, this big net left scratches on the rock candy.And these scratches are getting shorter and thinner, and the appearance of rock sugar is gradually becoming more delicate and delicate.

Suddenly, a suspicious voice sounded from the crowd: "I said, do you think that the things she carved look familiar?"

"Huh?! You said that, it is true..."

"It seems... wait! Could it be..."

"She carves like a dragon too!!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It stands to reason that when fighting, avoiding its edge and attacking the enemy's weaknesses with its own strengths is the correct strategy.

This is also the reason for the dessert knife competition. The bearded uncle made the dragon so lifelike that it was almost like a real dragon. In terms of viewing, the latter should beat it somewhere else.

But Erza is not such a person!

She is the 'Fairy Queen' who can directly challenge 100 monsters in Fumo Temple!

"I knew that Erza, with her competitive character, would definitely engrave the same thing as the other party." Kira rubbed her chin and muttered to herself among the crowd of spectators who were exclaiming, "In this way, she Definitely going to lose."

However, Gray seems to have a different opinion: "No way? I think Erza is quite confident. Look, she uses the kitchen knife as a sword. Isn't it quite neat?"

"Hey, hey... Is it because you have been with Erza for too long, and you have too much confidence in her? The tricks used in fighting are completely different from the tricks used in cooking."

"Although it looks roughly the same, if you look carefully, you will find that the dragon carved by Erusa is far behind the other party in every aspect."

"Hmm..." Gray narrowed his eyes, leaned forward halfway, stretched his head to look for a while, and then said, "It seems to be true..."

In fact, not only Kira discovered this problem, but other audiences, the judges on the stage, the other challengers, and even the two people who were attacking and defending the challenge at this time also noticed Ersha's withering. The carved dragons are not pretty.

No, maybe "ugly" should not be used to describe it, but "shoddy" is more appropriate!

"Really... Looking at her confident face just now, I thought she had practiced in this area..."

Kira didn't know why Gray had this illusion about Erza. Wouldn't it be better to have more time to practice swords, or eat two more cake puddings?

Soon, Erza finished her work, and Kira and Gray saw who she was carving.

"The scales and appearance of this dragon are a bit familiar... Oh! I remembered! It's Akunorollia... Thinking about it is right, after all, she has only seen this dragon before."

"The white Akunorollia, I almost couldn't recognize it, but Erza still remembers its appearance?"

"What are you talking about, Gray? Always keep in mind the appearance of the enemy, but it is the character that a good mage should possess!"

"...It's no wonder I believe you! It's obvious that you are the most forgetful one every time..."

Kira could only explain: "It's because those people are really popular! Their strength is weak, they have no characteristics, and their sense of existence is simply lower than that of passerby."

On the stage, Erza confidently handed over her work to the judges for scoring, and then...
