Chapter 2 The Most Destructive Person
Chapter 2 The Most Destructive Person
The undisguised laughter was like a sharp blade, piercing deep into Macao's fragile nerves.
His face flushed red, he roared at Chase, "What do you mean 'just a few lousy gorillas'? I took down nineteen of them in one go, you bastard!!"
When it comes to matters of a man's pride, he doesn't care what kind of terrifying monster you are.
"Only you would care about numbers. If it were me, I wouldn't need Natsu and the others to rescue them."
Kana, who was slumped over the table, let out a burp and said lightly.
Marcao's mouth twitched violently, his already fragile nerves taking another hit.
"Speaking of which, Kana, have you settled your drinking bill with the council yet? You haven't paid it back, have you?" Chase teased with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Kana paused, pulled out her cards, slammed them on the table, and stood up: "You bastard Chase, who are you calling a pauper?!"
Chase ignored Kana's stench of alcohol and turned to look at the other members of the guild.
"Biggeta, I heard you went dancing on the kingdom's castle in the middle of the night, were chased all the way like a pervert, and only escaped by hiding in a garbage dump?"
"And you, Loki, have you lost your mind, running off with the council member's granddaughter?"
"The one grinning like that, yes, it's you, Alzak, the one spying on the women's bathhouse with your magic sniper rifle scope. Hasn't Bisca given you a headshot yet?"
……
With each word Chase uttered, a Fairy Tail member instantly turned red, their anger level rapidly escalating.
The atmosphere in the guild suddenly became quite lively.
"As expected, it's turned into this situation again..."
In a corner of the guild, Lucy, with her shoulder-length blonde hair, sighed as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
"Speaking of which, that man is none other than Chess Lynn Edgardon, the S-class mage of Fairy Tail, the card master who causes a huge commotion every time he goes out."
Looking at the guild's precarious state, on the verge of collapse, Lucy recalled the information she had read about Chess in the newspaper and couldn't help but murmur, "In a way, that description feels strangely apt..."
As I was complaining, the sound of leather boots stomping on the floor drew closer, and the shadows that followed obscured my view.
Lucy sensed something and suddenly looked up.
Before she knew it, Chess, who had been standing at the door just moments before, was now standing right in front of her!
"You are, Lucy?"
Chase, acting as if they were old friends, sat down opposite Lucy, crossed his legs, and unabashedly showed off the chilled orange juice in front of her.
Are we so close that I'd drink someone else's beverage without even asking?!
Despite her inner turmoil and complaints, Lucy outwardly displayed the shyness expected of a newcomer.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chase, do you know me?"
Chase put the empty glass back in its place, then adjusted the handle to face Lucy, acting as if nothing had happened.
Lucy's lips twitched, and her inner personality was about to burst out cursing when Chase calmly said, "Although you're a newcomer who hasn't been with us for long, Lucy, you're already quite famous."
"Oh, aha? Even Mr. Chase has heard of me? Did he see it in the newspapers? I didn't expect to become famous so quickly!"
Lucy scratched her head shyly, but her chest unconsciously perked up, her tone filled with a smug pride and joy.
"But please don't worry, I definitely won't get carried away by this. After all, I'm still a newbie, and my magic power isn't as strong as Natsu's or the other companions'. I'll definitely work hard to become stronger!"
Chess: "...I heard it on the way here."
"I see. So everyone in Magnolia has accepted me so quickly?"
whee.
Lucy's smile grew even brighter.
"They said that you had just joined and made a mess of the port of Harugion, which caused them great distress and worry. Even I was lectured about it."
Lucy's lips twitched, and her smile instantly froze.
No, not at all.
The indiscriminate waves stirred up by Aquaria clearly surfaced deep in my mind.
No way, which bastard is talking so much nonsense?!
"Summy masai, red bean paste summy masai, I'll definitely pay attention next time!"
Lucy, realizing what was happening, looked flustered and hurriedly bowed to apologize to Chase, who had been implicated.
In her haste, she forgot that she was still sitting, and so...
Boom!
Naturally, Lucy slammed her head on the table, the clear, loud sound echoing through the union.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Lucy gasped, clutching the large bump on her forehead.
—For a reason that is quite amusing, the custom-made tables and chairs in the guild are all particularly sturdy, well, they are durable and can withstand being dropped.
"He's even more clueless than I expected..." Chase sighed.
Lucy, her mind still buzzing, didn't quite catch what you said. She blinked her long, beautiful eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
"I have to say, you and Natsu really are birds of a feather," Chess chuckled.
Birds of a feather flock together...
Does this refer to the damage to the port?
That's a terrible resume, from every angle.
Lucy's lips twitched, and she stood there awkwardly, unable to refute.
"Hahahaha!!"
Seeing her weak and helpless appearance, the Fairy Tail members finally couldn't hold back their laughter and burst into tears, laughing so hard they slapped the table.
When it comes to causing destruction, Chess is a master who surpasses Natsu.
Its peak was when it received as many as ten complaints and compensation claims from the council in just half a month!
Otherwise, Chairman Maklov wouldn't have sent this guy out on a ten-year mission!
The entire union was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Only a world where Lucy is injured is achieved.
"Hey Lucy, Chess is actually the biggest troublemaker in our guild! Even Natsu can't break the records he sets~"
Happy's blue head suddenly popped out from Lucy's chest.
"Huh?"
Lucy, her eyes widening after being reprimanded, exclaimed, "So Mr. Chess and I are truly birds of a feather... ugh! With Natsu!"
After realizing what had happened, she glared fiercely at Happy.
"Would it kill you to say something like this sooner?!"
"Why would Fairy Tail have someone who takes pride in causing destruction and breaking records?"
"Also, don't pop up from weird places!!"
There were so many things to criticize that her speech became incredibly fast and sharp.
"Love! If you had said so sooner, I wouldn't have seen you looking so embarrassed and ashamed, Lucy~"
Happy flew out from an odd spot, covering his mouth with a cheeky grin.
That damn cat...
Lucy gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her anger bar almost reaching its limit.
The members, the guild leader, and even the S-rank guild before them—they're all far from the strongest guild in Fiore that I've always admired…
The awkward yet polite smile on her lips was her last act of defiance.
"In conclusion, Lucy, welcome to Fairy Tail."
The large hand reaching out in front of her broke Lucy's complicated thoughts.
Seemingly infected by Chase's radiant smile, a few seconds later she smiled back, reached out and shook hands with him, nodding emphatically.
"Um!"
Although they are vastly different, Fairy Tail is still the best!
"By the way, what are your measurements?"
