Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 2 The Children

Moen wasn't a die-hard Saint Seiya fan; he genuinely didn't remember that such a Bronze Cloth existed.

Upon closer inspection, the armor is indeed in the shape of a horse, and it does have a pair of wings, however, the horse's wings... are very small.

Moreover, judging from the color scheme and shape, it is indeed quite different from the "Pegasus Bronze Cloth" that Moen remembered, so it seems that the system did not make a mistake.

"Is he dead?!"

While Moen was still in shock at the transformation of "Pegasus" into "Equus," the only boy under the shade of a nearby tree suddenly stood up.

He asked in great fear, and the question was naturally directed at Natsu, who was lying motionless on the ground.

The boy had a spiky blue-black hairstyle, was shirtless, and was only wearing a pair of blue shorts. His clothes were nowhere to be seen, even though he had just been wearing them.

"Bang!"

The blue-black-haired boy who had just exclaimed in surprise was punched on the head.

The punch made him grimace, and the spot on his head where he was hit visibly bulged up, demonstrating the immense power of the blow.

"How could he be dead?! Gray, don't talk nonsense!"

The one who punched Gray was the red-haired girl next to him. The girl had delicate features, wore a suit of armor, and had a sword at her waist. She was noticeably taller than the boy named Gray and had a very heroic air about her. She would probably grow up to be a great beauty.

After reprimanding Gray, the red-haired girl Erza ran towards Natsu, who was lying on the ground, with a worried look on her face.

Although Erza felt that Moen should have shown mercy, she couldn't help but worry when she saw Natsu standing there motionless.

"Let's go take a look, Kana."

Seeing Erza walk past, Gray quickly followed, calling out to the girl who was holding a cute white puppy nearby.

"it is good."

Kana obediently responded and quickly followed after him, carrying the puppy.

The girl had long, brown hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, and was wearing an orange sundress. She looked sweet and cute.

"By the way, Gray, where are your clothes?"

As she ran, Cana didn't forget to remind Gray, who had suddenly taken off his clothes earlier.

"Huh?! When?!"

Gray looked surprised, as if he had just discovered that his clothes were missing.

Gray, no longer caring about Natsu, hurriedly started looking for his clothes. Cana also put down the puppy in her arms and helped with the search. The two of them and the dog were in a flurry of activity.

The commotion brought Moen back to his senses. Instead of checking the "Equus Bronze Cloth," he turned his gaze to Natsu, who was lying on the ground.

Looking at Natsu lying on the ground unresponsive, Moen wasn't actually worried about him; he knew the strength of his attack.

Moreover, Natsu's body is extremely strong, far exceeding that of ordinary people; this can be judged by the feeling of a punch landing on him.

This is actually one of the effects of "Dragon Slayer Magic," a magic that can transform the user's physique into that of a dragon. Moen had already inquired about this with Grandpa Makarov, the guild master.

In short, Natsu is a tough kid and definitely won't be killed by a few punches.

Furthermore, his [Saint Seiya System] already states that Natsu is an important character in this world's storyline. Presumably, he will be like the "Five Bronze Saints," possessing the attribute of being an "indestructible cockroach." How could he possibly be defeated so easily?

Moen knew that the world he was in, Esland, was the world of an anime called Fairy Tail.

And then, that was it. Moen had only heard of the name "Fairy Tail" but had never actually watched the anime. He was completely clueless and had no advantage of prior knowledge whatsoever.

But that doesn't matter. With the [Saint Seiya System], Moen only needs to focus on his training. Let them come and go as they please, I'll just throw a punch and pave a wide and broad path to heaven!

Moreover, although he doesn't know the plot or the characters, Moen is certain that he has already connected with the main storyline.

After all, the name of the mage guild where Moen grew up is "Fairy Tail," so it can't be completely unrelated to the main storyline, right?

It makes sense, since common sense dictates that the name of an anime is usually closely related to its main storyline, such as "Naruto," "One Piece," "Bleach," and "Saint Seiya." "Fairy Tail" is no exception.

The appearance of Natsu, along with the quests triggered by Gray and Erza, are constantly validating Moen's ideas. The guild members are mostly important characters in the story.

Under Moen's watchful eye, Erza approached Natsu, who had collapsed to the ground.

"Natsu! Are you alright? Wake up!"

Erza grabbed Natsu's shoulders with both hands and shook him hard.

Natsu, who was being shaken violently, frowned in pain and tried hard to open his eyes, as if he was about to wake up.

Seeing this, Erza shook even harder.

She lifted Natsu up and shook him violently. Natsu's face turned pale, and his body was shaken by Erza like a messy balloon, his limbs swinging back and forth in the air.

"Hey! Erza! Put Natsu down right now! What you're doing... is only making him more dizzy!"

Seeing Erza's actions, Moen couldn't hold back any longer and immediately spoke up to stop her. He covered his forehead, looking helpless.

Wait, is this really a rescue? Or is it because they're worried Natsu isn't quite dead yet?!

"oh."

Erza obeyed and immediately let go, causing Natsu to fall to the ground with a "thud".

Seeing that Natsu showed no signs of waking up, Erza, with her clever mind, came up with another plan. She decisively raised her hand.

"Snapped!"

With one slap, a clear red handprint appeared on Natsu's pale face, making him look even worse.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing Erza's actions, Moen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Erza's wrist in time, preventing her from slapping Natsu and leaving a symmetrical red handprint on his face.

'That's it, it's the finishing blow.'

Moen thought to himself, but it was just a joke. He knew Erza didn't mean to hurt Natsu.

Erza, who has only been a member of the guild for a year, is also a problem child, a child who has suffered severe psychological trauma.

Last year, when Erza first joined the guild, she was even more abnormal than Natsu, who always talked about having a "fire dragon dad." She was very withdrawn and basically didn't hang out with the others.

It was only after experiencing some things that Erza gradually let down her guard and became friends with everyone in the guild.

Moen knew that this girl, who appeared strong and rough to outsiders and always shrouded herself in hard armor, actually had a very soft heart.

"Let me go, Moen."

Erza struggled a bit as Moen grabbed her wrist.

Moen released his grip, but remained wary of Erza's potential attacks; poor Natsu could no longer withstand such torment.

Looking at Natsu, Moen was starting to get a little worried.

Although he knows his own strength, Erza really doesn't know her own strength at all!

Poor Natsu, he's only been in the Fairy Tail guild for two days, I hope he doesn't die already!

Otherwise, Moen really wouldn't know how to explain to Grandpa Makarov. As the leader of the children in the guild, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of the children who play with him.

"Moen, what you did was wrong. This was just a friendly spar. Natsu is also a guild member. You shouldn't have hit him so hard. He's just a newbie and not as strong as you."

Erza didn't attack again. Instead, she stood up, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Moen with her face puffed up in anger, clearly dissatisfied with Moen's actions. She felt that Moen had gone too far.

"puff!"

No sooner had Erza finished speaking than Moen extended a finger and gently poked Erza's cheek, causing the little bun on Erza's face to deflate.

"Moun!"

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. Erza got even angrier. She was seriously and earnestly talking to Moen about a problem, but Moen was just laughing and joking around with her!

"Calm down! Erza, Natsu was almost awake before you even got here. Didn't you notice?"

Moen reached out his hand, signaling Erza to calm down, and then quickly shifted the focus back to Natsu.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Moen's words surprised Erza. She forgot her anger and asked with some confusion.

"Of course! Natsu was almost awake! It was Erza's actions that turned him into this!"

Seeing that Erza had calmed down and begun to reflect, Moen pressed on while the iron was hot, speaking decisively and leaving no room for doubt, thus drawing a direct conclusion to the matter.

Erza is not the kind of person who would shirk responsibility. On the contrary, she has a strong sense of responsibility and is very reasonable. Under Moen's guidance, she couldn't help but start to reflect.

"Did I really do something wrong? That's why Natsu hasn't woken up yet?"

Erza thought back carefully and realized that when she arrived, Natsu did seem to be showing signs of waking up, unlike his current half-dead state.

It seems that Natsu's current state is... actually her fault?

"I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to!"

Realizing her mistake, Erza immediately apologized, not only to Natsu, but also for her earlier accusations against Moen, for she had been too arbitrary!

Now, under Moen's influence, Erza, although still somewhat awkward in personality, is able to frankly admit her mistakes and say "I'm sorry" to others.

"If 'I'm sorry' were enough, what would we need doctors for? Natsu is dying, hurry and take him to Granny Poliusica."

Moen shook his head and instructed Erza to carry Natsu on her back. In this situation, the most important thing was to get Natsu to a doctor as soon as possible.

Granny Poliusica is an advisor to the Fairy Tail guild, a female version of the "Demon Lord," and lives in this forest.

"good!"

Erza perked up, picked up Natsu and carried him on her back, then followed Moen as they ran into the depths of the forest.

As she ran, Erza kept apologizing, saying that she shouldn't have hurt Natsu or blamed Moon for no reason. Her little face was full of apology, self-blame, and worry for Natsu.

Meanwhile, Moen generously comforted her, saying that it wasn't her fault, and that she was only acting out of concern for the guild members, not out of malice. This was a sign that she had integrated into the guild, which deeply moved Erza.

"..."

"If I remember correctly, it was Morne who knocked Natsu unconscious, right? How come it all seems to be Erza's fault?"

Cana and Gray, who had found the clothes, watched this scene from the side. The two children looked at each other, feeling as if something was wrong.

"Gray! Cana! Hurry up and catch up!"

Before they could figure it out, Moen's shout came from ahead, and they quickly responded and followed.
