Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars Chapter 430: Lucy: This Fairy Tail Is Completely Different f

The instant the seawater collided with the fireball in the sky, a thick and dense fog spread across the entire sea surface.

"Hm?!"

With Happy's help, Natsu flew in the air and looked at the fog beneath him in surprise. He seemed not to expect that among this group of bandits impersonating Fairy Tail, there was actually someone capable of driving such a massive current of water and canceling out his flames.

"Natsu, actually, I wanted to tell you just now. Lucy was still on the ship~"

Happy looked at Natsu, who was gradually calming down, flapped his small wings, and spoke softly.

"Huh?!"

Natsu froze, his expression shocked.

"BOOM!!"

Just as Natsu was shocked, the sea beneath him suddenly let out waves of roaring sounds. Immediately afterward, waves hundreds of meters high rose into the sky, carrying the ship that held the girls from Hargeon who had been deceived by the fake Fire Dragon, flying toward the distant dock.

"Happy, chase after them!"

Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at this scene and ordered Happy behind him.

"Aye~"

Happy nodded lightly, spread his wings, and carried Natsu toward Hargeon's dock.

"BOOM!"

At the same time, Hargeon dock...

Acpanied by a huge roar, the endless sea waves swallowed half the dock. The cruise ship that had almost sailed into international waters was swept back to the dock by the seawater.

"Cough, cough..."

At the same time, the girls who had all been put to sleep by the fake Fire Dragon Bora using Sleep Magic slowly opened their confused eyes.

Unlike Lucy, who had remained awake the whole time, these girls' eyes were filled only with confusion.

"This place is dangerous! Hurry up and go home!"

At the same time, Lucy, who had summoned the Celestial Spirit Aquarius, used seawater to cancel out Natsu's flames, and asked Aquarius to save everyone on the ship, now held a microphone and shouted loudly at the girls who had awakened from the fake Fire Dragon's Charm Magic and Sleep Magic.

"Hm?!"

"Oh!!"

The girls, who had originally been lost and confused, immediately reacted after hearing Lucy. They did not dare delay there and quickly lifted their soaked dresses, running toward their homes in Hargeon.

On the other side, with Lucy's help, the fake Fire Dragon Bora and the others, who had successfully survived, gradually regained consciousness as well...

"Cough, cough, Mr. Bora, this is bad! All the goods we worked so hard to gather have escaped!"

Bora's subordinate looked at the fleeing girls, his heart tightening as he spoke softly to the fake Fire Dragon beside him.

"Idiot! We ran into those lunatics from Fairy Tail, and the fact that we're still alive is already a miracle! What do we need those goods for now? What we need to do now is find a way to escape! As long as we can escape, there's no need to care about today's gains and losses, because everything we have can rise again!"

After hearing his subordinate, Bora's eyes flickered. First, he roared at his subordinate, then flames immediately lit up around his body. It looked like Bora was preparing to escape.

"Don't even think about running!"

Just as Bora was about to move, Lucy untied the whip at her waist and instantly lashed it out, directly locking it around Bora's wrist.

"What?!"

Bora looked at the whip that had directly bound his wrist, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"I originally thought you were just some ignorant young lady who ran away from some family! I didn't expect you to have some skill, Lucy~"

Bora tried to untie the whip around his wrist. After exerting force several times and discovering he could not shake it off, he glared at Lucy, who was gripping the other end tightly with both hands, and spoke coldly.

"Hehe! Sorry to disappoint you..."

"The person standing in front of you has never been some young lady, but a Mage!"

Lucy sneered. Since she had already seen and learned that Bora had done something so utterly heartless, how could she possibly let him escape like this?!

"A righteous Mage wouldn't think of going to a place like Fairy Tail..."

Bora smiled slightly at Lucy, then gently shook his head. His actions and words seemed deeply meaningful.

"Hm?!"

Lucy looked at Bora with tightly furrowed brows. She always felt there was more behind Bora's words.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lucy frowned slightly and asked Bora.

"What do I mean?"

Bora smiled mysteriously, as if he wanted to say something.

However, just as Bora was about to speak, he sensed a scorching aura...

"Unfortunately, time's up! As for what I mean, I'll leave that answer for you to find yourself!"

Bora looked at Lucy and spoke with a smile.

"BOOM!"

The instant Bora finished speaking, a figure burning with blazing flames descended from the sky and punched Bora in the head. In an instant, acpanied by a roar, the entire ground trembled...

Bora directly collapsed to the ground and passed out, losing consciousness! The one who threw that punch was none other than Natsu!

"Natsu?!"

Lucy looked at the newer and first felt happy, then her expression trembled. She thought of Natsu's previous indiscriminate attack and immediately felt a chill.

"Sorry, Lucy! I didn't know you were on the ship just now. Otherwise, I definitely would've been more careful~"

This time, Natsu did not ignore Lucy. The moment he fell from the air, he noticed her.

And so, Natsu looked at Lucy and smiled gently while apologizing for his earlier actions.

"No, it's fine..."

After hearing Natsu, Lucy repeatedly waved her hands, indicating that she was not angry about what Natsu had done earlier.

"Mr. Bora..."

Just as Natsu and Lucy were talking, Bora's subordinates surrounded them after seeing Bora knocked down by Natsu.

"Then Lucy, let's talk later! Let me deal with these guys first!"

After hearing those calls, Natsu immediately turned around and faced the group of violent bandits directly.

"Next, you should pay the price for what you've done!"

"Flame Dragon's Crushing Fist!!"

As Natsu waved his hand, enormous magic power gathered toward his arm. In the blink of an eye, vast energy collected in Natsu's palm. The next second, Natsu clenched his hand into a fist and swung it at the vicious bandits.

In an instant, flames surged like a sea. Endless heat waves swallowed the bandits in front of Natsu.

"BOOM!!"

Immediately afterward, a deafening roar sounded. Before Natsu's endlessly powerful punch, all of Bora's subordinates were blasted into the sky. Flying alongside those subordinates was also half of Hargeon's dock.

"Done!"

After doing all this, Natsu revealed a bright smile, then turned around and gave Lucy a thumbs-up.

"It is done..."

"But isn't this a bit too much?"

"Half the dock was blown away!"

Lucy looked at everything before her, held her head, and shouted in shock.

"Ahaha..."

"Now that you mention it, I only just noticed that the dock disappeared~"

After hearing Lucy, Natsu turned around. When he saw the vanished dock, he laughed loudly.

"No, this isn't something worth being happy about, right?"

After hearing Natsu, Lucy's eye twitched slightly.

She felt somewhat helpless toward Natsu's words and did not know what she should do...

"Rumble..."

Just as Lucy was plaining about Natsu's actions, the ground suddenly trembled. Rows of well-trained soldiers, holding weapons, ran toward Lucy and Natsu.

"The army?!"

Lucy looked at the soldiers before her, her pupils trembling. As a law-abiding citizen, Lucy instinctively felt afraid upon seeing the army.

"Damn it! These soldiers really are relentless!"

Who knew that when Natsu saw the soldiers, not only was he unafraid, he even cursed angrily.

"Looks like there's no time to explain!"

"Lucy, hurry and run with me..."

Natsu looked at the number of soldiers and shook his head. He seemed to have given up on fighting the army.

And so, Natsu directly ran to Lucy's side, grabbed her wrist, and ran out of town...

"Huh? Why do I have to run too?"

After hearing Natsu, Lucy looked confused.

"Because that dock being destroyed is also partly Lucy's responsibility, right?"

Natsu reacted quickly at this moment. He remembered that Lucy had used seawater to destroy part of the dock.

"Uh..."

"It was Aquarius who went too hard when teaching those bandits a lesson!"

Lucy pressed her lips together, her expression rather helpless. Among all her Celestial Spirits, Aquarius was the only one she could not control properly, even though Lucy's relationship with Aquarius was extraordinary and even surpassed the ordinary contractual relationship between a Celestial Spirit Mage and a Celestial Spirit...

After all, Aquarius was a Celestial Spirit who had watched Lucy grow up~

"Besides, Lucy, didn't you say you wanted to join our Fairy Tail Guild?"

Natsu smiled at Lucy as he spoke.

"Uh, well, that's true!"

Hearing this, Lucy nodded lightly.

However, perhaps even Lucy herself did not know what was wrong with her. Whenever she heard the words Fairy Tail, she thought of the fake Fire Dragon Bora and the meaningful words he had said to her.

"Then let's go together~"

Just as Lucy was still hesitating, Natsu suddenly gave Lucy a bright and sunny smile, inviting her.

"Hm?! Mm!"

Lucy, who had originally still been hesitating, suddenly showed a flash of realization in her eyes after seeing Natsu's sunny smile. She nodded lightly at Natsu, expressing agreement.

Just like that...

Under the dim moonlight, the boy and girl held hands and kept running under the army's pursuit, sprinting all the way.

In the blink of an eye, as the sky gradually brightened...

Natsu and Lucy finally arrived at Magnolia Town, before the ancient doors of the Mage Guild Fairy Tail.

"So this is Fairy Tail? As expected, it's just like I imagined, ancient and mysterious!"

Lucy stood before the extremely ancient-looking door marked with the words FAIRY TAIL. Her pupils shone with light, and her heart leapt with joy. Lucy clearly understood that the door appearing before her now was precisely the door of the Mage Guild she had longed for, Fairy Tail!

"And I'm about to bee a member of the Mage Guild Fairy Tail!"

Lucy knew in her heart that as long as she gently pushed open the door before her, the legendary strongest Mage Guild in the Kingdom of Fiore and even the continent of Ishgar, the famous Fairy Tail, would appear before her...

"Adjust my breathing! I must adjust my breathing. I can't get too excited, or else others might think I've never seen the world..."

For a moment, Lucy's feelings were nothing but excitement!

She constantly adjusted her breathing, but even so, Lucy's emotions were still difficult to control, causing her body to tremble slightly. After all, Lucy was about to enter the Mage Guild she had always admired, Fairy Tail. Such excitement was unavoidable. Anyone else would be the same.

"Lucy, what are you doing?"

However, Natsu could not understand Lucy's excitement. After all, after traveling from four hundred years ago to the modern era, Natsu had been picked up by Makarov. It was like some people's lifelong goal was to go to Rome, while others were born in Rome.

"Hurry up and go in!"

Natsu stood behind Lucy and kept urging her.

At that moment, Natsu could no longer wait to rush in and beat up the person who had given him false information...

"I! I'm adjusting my breathing..."

"I still haven't decided exactly what method I should use to push open the Guild's door!"

"After all, this is Fairy Tail! The legendary Mage Guild Fairy Tail!"

"I heard Fairy Tail has already been established for over a hundred years and is one of the oldest Mage Guilds in the entire Kingdom of Fiore, and even the continent of Ishgar..."

Lucy looked at Natsu and spoke endlessly as if a floodgate had opened.

That passionate state made Natsu's body tremble slightly, and he felt shocked...

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Fairy Tail actually has such a long history?"

After hearing Lucy, Natsu looked shocked. He, a Fairy Tail member, seemed to understand less about Fairy Tail than Lucy, a non-Fairy Tail member.

"Aye~"

Happy flew beside Natsu and echoed along. As for who exactly he was echoing, no one knew. In short, he was just echoing.

According to Happy, this was the character image he had created for himself...

"In short, Fairy Tail! That is a super amazing Mage Guild!"

Lucy took a deep breath and spoke seriously to Natsu.

"I-Is that so?"

Natsu nodded lightly. In any case, being praised by others for his Guild made him very happy.

"But Lucy, we still have to go inside..."

"How about you step aside first, and I'll teach you the Fairy Tail Mage way of opening doors?"

Natsu thought for a moment and asked Lucy.

After all, no matter how much Lucy praised Fairy Tail, they couldn't just keep standing in front of the door and not enter, right?!

"Ah, well, all right..."

After hearing Natsu, Lucy looked somewhat embarrassed.

At the same time, Lucy's eyes were also filled with anticipation. She just happened to want to see what the way Fairy Tail Guild members opened doors was like...

"Surely Fairy Tail Mages must be gentle and elegant, full of grace, yet different from those stale nobles, filled with endless creativity and diversity..."

At this moment, Lucy had already imagined Fairy Tail's appearance in her mind.

In Lucy's eyes, Fairy Tail's Mages must normally be polite, and their daily interactions must be filled with endless respect. Every day after entering the Guild, everyone either discussed which job to take or discussed how magic should be studied, all of them elegant scholars...

Yes, in Lucy's eyes, Fairy Tail was equivalent to the strongest Mage academy on the continent of Ishgar! As long as one stayed in Fairy Tail for one year, one would undergo a qualitative leap and bee a famous Mage known far and wide, a top powerhouse in the magic world...

Although the academy Lucy imagined, along with the interaction style of Fairy Tail's members, was pletely different from the real Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail truly could improve a Mage's strength. If a Mage truly cultivated diligently in Fairy Tail for a year, then outside, they indeed could bee a famous Mage known far and wide. That point was not wrong at all...

Just as Lucy looked at Natsu expectantly, filled with fantasies, hoping to see Fairy Tail members living harmoniously...

Natsu split his mouth into a sinister grin, walked directly to Fairy Tail's ancient door, and kicked it.

"BOOM!"

Acpanied by a roar, Fairy Tail's ancient door was kicked open by Natsu.

"Bastards! I'm back..."

After kicking open the Guild's door, Natsu strode quickly into Fairy Tail and loudly shouted at his Guildmates.

"Uh..."

Lucy looked at Natsu, who had kicked open his own Guild's door, and widened her eyes. There seemed to be some disbelief in her gaze, causing Lucy's brain to temporarily crash for a moment.

"He kicked it! He kicked it!"

"This guy kicked open his own Guild's door with his foot! He really doesn't cherish his own Guild at all!"

After ing back to her senses, Lucy kept plaining about Natsu's behavior in her heart while her brain spun rapidly.

So, the so-called Fairy Tail Guild style of opening doors was to kick open your own Guild's door?

In response, Lucy expressed...

She really loved it, absolutely loved it...

"Which bastard gave me the information that the Fire Dragon appeared in Hargeon?"

Just as Lucy widened her eyes and pondered the meaning of the scene before her, Natsu had already angrily rushed into Fairy Tail and roared loudly at his fellow Mages.

"That was totally fake information! Bastard!"

Natsu's eyes were crimson as he kept plaining.

"Hahaha..."

"So it was fake information~"

"Sorry, sorry. I only passed the information to you casually after receiving it!"

Inside Fairy Tail, a young man sitting near the bar and continuously drinking laughed after hearing Natsu.

"Is that so?"

In response, the corner of Natsu's eye twitched slightly. He casually picked up the table beside him and threw it at the Mage grinning at him.

Just as Natsu had sworn after discovering the so-called Fire Dragon was fake, vowing to beat up the guy who had provided him false information!

Natsu really attacked the panion who had given him false information...

"Bang!"

The Fairy Tail member hit in the head by Natsu's table had the corner of his eye twitch slightly, his gaze carrying some resentment.

"Natsu, I kindly provided you with information! And now this is how you treat me?"

"I understand! You want to fight, right? Who's afraid of who?!"

The Guild member who had been hit in the head by Natsu's table twitched the corner of his eye, rolled up his sleeves, and charged toward Natsu. Most of the people who still had not left Fairy Tail were lunatics who were not afraid of fighting. Whether they could win was another matter. The main thing was to fight first as a sign of respect!

"Hehe~"

"I only picked up the table beside me and casually threw it at you~"

Natsu imitated the young man's tone and spoke with a cheap grin.

"Bastard..."

"Go die!"

In response, veins bulged on the young man's forehead after being smashed in the head with a table by Natsu, and he directly charged at Natsu.

"BOOM!"

For a time, Natsu and the Guild member began wrestling.

A wave of air burst between them. That young man with a mob-character face was unexpectedly strong. He was a user of pure strength magic, and according to Evan's system rating, he actually reached Level 5. If placed in a Guild outside Fairy Tail, he could absolutely be considered a decent expert...

Yes, with Fairy Tail's current standards, those who had persisted until now without leaving the Guild, under the help of all kinds of big shots and Ultear's development of the Second Magic Source, could reach Level 4 or 5 even if they were pigs...

However, before long, flames rose from Natsu's body, and he punched the Guild member flying.

"Ugh!"

The young man sent flying by Natsu's punch fainted outright, directly crushing a patch of tables and chairs behind him.

"That feels better!"

Natsu looked at the young man he had knocked unconscious with one punch and revealed a satisfied smile.

"What?!"

At the same time, Lucy stood frozen in place, pletely dumbfounded.

"He hit him! Natsu attacked his own panion! He knocked him unconscious with one punch..."

Lucy stood in place, crazily plaining.

What was this? This was pletely different from the Fairy Tail she had imagined...

"It must be because I opened the door wrong!"

"Y-Yes..."

"As long as I go out through the door and push it open again, everything will return to normal. Fairy Tail must surely be the beautiful existence I imagined, the place that all Mages on the continent of Ishgar dream of..."

As Lucy spoke, she turned around. She was confident that she must have opened Fairy Tail's door the wrong way. As long as she opened Fairy Tail's door the correct way, she believed the Door God would definitely return to her the perfect Fairy Tail Guild of her imagination.

Then, when Lucy turned around, she saw that Fairy Tail's door had already collapsed to the ground from Natsu's kick earlier...

Fairy Tail's door had just disappeared~

"There isn't even a door!"

Looking at the vanished door, Lucy fell to her knees with a thud, holding her head and weakly plaining.

However, just as Lucy knelt while looking at Fairy Tail's door, the war inside Fairy Tail was escalating...

"I was wondering why the Guild suddenly became so noisy!"

"So it was you bastard Natsu ing back!"

Acpanied by an angry shout, a man with short black hair, handsome facial features, and a sturdy build, definitely a handsome man from every angle...

After hearing Natsu's voice, he gently loosened the metallic accessory around his neck and walked directly toward Natsu.

"Hah? Gray, are you trying to start a fight? e on! I'm in a bad mood anyway~"

After knocking out the little brother who had given him fake information with one punch, Natsu heard the familiar voice. Flames burned on his hand as he crooked his finger at Gray.

"Who's afraid of who?! I haven't seen you for a few days, and it looks like you're getting cocky again!"

After hearing Natsu, Gray's eye twitched slightly. His body instantly erupted with an extremely powerful cold air, and his whole person became especially fierce at that moment. In particular, the black markings appearing on Gray's body danced across him as if alive.

For a time, flames and ice, two different magic powers, collided within Fairy Tail's small space...

Because currently, whether it was Natsu or Gray, their strength had already reached the level of the Ten Wizard Saints. Therefore, when Natsu and Gray confronted each other, the atmosphere above Magnolia Town and Fairy Tail became slightly heavier!

However, none of these were what Lucy was paying attention to. What Lucy was paying attention to was...

"W-W-W-What is with this guy? Why is he only wearing underwear?!"

Lucy looked at Gray with a bright red face and asked in a trembling voice.

"Aye~"

"Gray is just like this~"

In response to Lucy's question, Happy nodded lightly in agreement.

"So that guy who would be streaking if he took off his underwear is called Gray?"

"Also, why are you saying aye? Hurry up and answer my question!"

Lucy twitched the corner of her mouth at Happy's voice and asked.

"Don't keep staring at Gray-sama, you blond... homewrecker!"

Just as Lucy's face turned red from Gray's perverted behavior, a cute girl with long blue hair and a soft dress blocked Lucy's line of sight while emitting a black aura and warning Lucy.

"Who keeps staring at that pervert?!"

"And when did I bee a homewrecker?"

Lucy kept plaining. She felt that after entering Fairy Tail for just five seconds, her plaining skill had already reached the level of the Ten Wizard Saints.

"First of all, no one could possibly dislike Gray-sama~"

"Also, anyone with blond hair is a homewrecker! And blondes are destined to be losing heroines!"

The blue-haired girl first revealed a bit of shyness and praised Gray.

Then she gave Lucy a thumbs-up, before immediately turning the thumb downward and laughing coldly.

"Who said all blondes are homewreckers? And that blondes are destined to be losing heroines?"

"Apologize to all blond people in the world, you bastard!"

Lucy looked at the blue-haired girl with a smile that was not a smile. She no longer knew what to say. What kind of people were in this Guild? Why did every single one of them seem mentally abnormal, as if they all had some serious mental illness...

"Gray, clothes!"

Just as Lucy was frantically plaining, Cana passed by while carrying a nearly five-hundred-liter barrel of alcohol in one hand. Considering the density of the alcohol Cana drank was lower than water, including the barrel, it still weighed nearly half a ton. Yet Cana carried such a heavy barrel with one hand, looking pletely effortless.

However, that was not what shocked Lucy. What shocked Lucy was...

After reminding Gray, Cana lifted the barrel and began crazily pouring it into her stomach.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp..."

"Refreshing!"

In just a short while, Cana drank nearly five hundred liters of alcohol.

"Ah..."

In response, Lucy's mouth fell open in shock.

"How is that possible? How did this girl drink more alcohol than her own body weight? Also, where did all that alcohol go? Dimensional Magic?"

Lucy kept plaining inwardly.

"Ah! Crap, I actually forgot to wear clothes!"

Gray looked shocked. Unfortunately, because Gray had inherited Devil Slayer Magic, Seilah's Curse could no longer affect him. According to Seilah's Curse definition, Gray was no longer a pure human at all!

"Opening!"

Just as Gray was staring anxiously at his lower body, which only had underwear on, Natsu stepped forward and directly got close. Taking advantage of the fact that Gray had no time to look at him, he punched Gray flying.

"Bang..."

Gray was caught off guard and flew away, directly smashing a large patch of tables and chairs inside the Guild.

"Ahahaha! As expected, I'm the strongest! Gray, you're too weak!"

Natsu looked at Gray, who had been punched flying by him, and laughed loudly with his hands on his hips.

Natsu had sent Gray flying with one punch. He felt so amazing that he had to hurry and put his hands on his hips for a while.

"He! He sent him flying again!"

"Natsu decisively attacked his panion again!"

Lucy looked at the scene before her and plained in shock. However, before Lucy could finish plaining, something even more shocking happened.

"Gray, I told you that you had weaknesses..."

Acpanied by a slightly magnetic voice, a handsome man with short white hair walked toward Natsu.

"..."

However, this was still not what shocked Lucy the most. What truly shocked Lucy was that this handsome man, whose appearance looked quite good, was not wearing a single piece of clothing!

"There must be something wrong with the Fairy Tail Guild I joined!"

In response, Lucy pressed her hands to her cheeks and spoke with a pained expression.
