The area was burning and scorching, and the smell of burnt earth spread in every direction as the fire blazed hot, like the flame of a dragon.
"Dragon Slayer Magic."
Kira couldn't help but murmur when he saw the fiery flame that burnt endlessly before him, yet despite the heat, he was strangely fine.
'Shiro Amakusa Tokisada....'
Sighing, he was glad that he got this servant from the gacha as this ability of the Saint of the Far East was just well-rounded, especially when it gave him a magic resistance skill and reinforcement, which made this heat him feel just slightly hot. At this moment, he believed if he met this fire head on, he would be okay, but he was afraid his clothes would be burnt, and somehow, it was still hard for him to fight carelessly, meeting Natsu's attack without caring as it was a natural instinct of a man to avoid a fire.
Still, was the Dragon Slayer Magic this weak?
Or was Natsu being nice to him?
Kira wasn't sure, but he knew the legendary Fire Dragon King, Igneel, was living inside Natsu's body, and as the little brother of the last antagonist of this world, how could this guy be so weak?
Yet, because of the plot, Natsu was severely weakened, so he was often defeated by weaklings.
If it wasn't Natsu, as long as they had the Dragon Slayer Magic, Kira was sure that person would be crazily strong, and at least they had a power that reached the top of the top from the beginning instead of struggling like this.
Still, without a doubt, how easily Kira dodged Natsu's attack surprised all of them, as no one expected him to be this strong. Everyone was clear about Natsu's strength, as many of them were often beaten by him, so watching someone outside of their guild calmly fight Natsu surprised them.
Oh, wait, Kira is about to join their guild!
Still, even so, they believed Natsu would win!
"You are amazing!" Rubbing his chin awkwardly, Natsu stood up as if nothing had happened. "But I will get serious now, Kira!" Once again, he leaped, but unlike before, a blazing flame followed his trail and surrounded him as if he were a ball of fire!
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
A large stream of fire covered both of Natsu's arms as he tried to blast Kira away!
Yet, how could such an attack, which relied only on brute force, have hit him?
Naturally, Kira easily dodged Natsu's magic, but this also made him wonder what he should do.
While Shiro Amakusa possessed many useful abilities, they didn't significantly enhance his fighting capabilities.
Henry Jekyll and Hyde might give him some abilities to fight, but as it was an Assassin Class, Kira was afraid that he would hurt Natsu in a way that others couldn't accept since this fighting method would become dirty from a poison, explosion, attacking weak parts of the body, and many others.
If Kira did so, he was afraid that he would pick a fight with all the members of the Fairy Tail!
Yet, even if Natsu wasn't as strong as he imagined it to be, Kira knew that Natsu was a stamina monster, and defeating this guy was impossible with just a half-assed physical ability.
"Come on! Come on! Don't run away!"
Natsu felt so frustrated since all of his attacks couldn't touch Kira, and he thought to make his magic stronger, but—
'It can't be helped. I can only use that.'
Kira thought so, and he used an ability that made his body emit a good scent. Naturally, Natsu, who had a good nose, quickly noticed the change in him, yet when he saw Kira standing still as he was about to punch him, he quickly ignored this change!
"Now, I get you! Take this!"
Natsu smashed his fist into Kira's body, but—
"Huh!?"
What Natsu felt wasn't the feeling of his fist touching Kira's body, but instead, that Kira, who stood still and received his smash, was okay!
No, his fist didn't touch Kira at all!
"What's happening?!"
When Natsu was about to step forward, he suddenly stepped back, and when he was about to punch Kira, he turned around and punched the air!
"What are you doing, Natsu?!"
"Why are you acting like an idiot!"
"That guy is in front of you! Just attack him!"
Along with the roar of the Fairy Tail members, Natsu became even more confused and directly used his magic, relying on whatever he believed.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
A blast of flame released from his mouth, and instead of blowing Kira up, it blew everyone up!
"What?!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
Everyone was dumbfounded and quickly received Natsu's attack directly!
"DO YOU WANT TO KILL US?!"
"IDIOT NATSU!"
"YOUR OPPONENT IS OVER THERE!"
Yet, as they thought that Natsu had grown stupid, Mirajane and Makarov noticed the good scent that came from Kira.
"What is this smell?
"Fragrance?"
"Did he use a different magic?"
Pheromone.
This was Kira's ability, which he gained from Mata Hari. Yes, she might not give him the ability to fight; no, she couldn't fight at all, as her ability was mainly in dancing, seduction, and spying. Still, despite all of that, from her, he gained a unique skill that allowed him to manipulate pheromones.
'Strong.'
Yes, this ability might not cause much damage, but compared to a flashy ability that caused widespread destruction, this type of ability was more convenient for him, especially since it could be used in many situations.
'There is also Mata Hari's Noble Phantasm.'
Still, facing Natsu, this pheromone manipulation was enough, as by using this ability, he messed up Natsu's sense of direction.
When Natsu wanted to move to the right, he would move to the left; when he stepped forward, he would move back. His senses became so chaotic due to the pheromones released by Kira, and it was much worse as his senses were enhanced due to the Dragon Slayer Magic.
"What did you do to me?!"
Kira only smiled and said, "Well, how about you sleep first?"
As Kira's voice fell, Natsu smelled a comforting scent, which made him sleepy, and then he fell asleep directly on the ground.
"....." Everyone.
"Won?"
Watching Natsu, who slept so soundly that he snored and made a bubble on his nose, left them speechless and helpless since they had lost so much money from the bet!
They bet on the wrong person!
"As expected, I was right. The new guy is the winner."
A beautiful young woman with tanned skin and wavy hair, Cana Alberona, who had consumed a barrel of alcohol, laughed happily as she saw that Kira had won. Clearly, she put all of her money on Kira.
"But what did he do? How did he defeat Natsu?" The naked young man, Gray Fullbuster, was confused.
Still, as this question fell, everyone was looking at Lucy at the same time as they were also curious.
"Ah, I don't know!"
Or rather, Lucy didn't know that Kira had this type of magic that could make others confused and fall asleep!
Still, Kira approached Natsu, who was sleeping, then slapped his head!
Slap!
"Ouch!" Natsu was quickly awoken and then roared angrily. "Who hit me?!"
"..." Everyone.
"You lose."
"...."
Natsu looked at Kira, who was looking at him calmly in a daze, realizing that he had fallen and Kira still stood up.
"How?!"
Naturally, Natsu couldn't accept his loss so easily and wanted to have a revenge match!
"If you can defeat me by using fists, then I will tell you."
"That's what I want!" Natsu became fired up, but he quickly said, "But don't dodge all the time! Also, don't use that strange magic!" He felt so uncomfortable when his sense of direction became so weird that he felt so helpless.
"Don't worry, I won't dodge. Let's fight like a man!"
Kira had tested most of his abilities, and he could tell that he was pretty strong, so what was left was to test the endurance of his body by letting himself be beaten by Natsu so he could tell the limit of his tolerance. It might appear extreme, but it was far better than getting hurt during an important mission, right?
Natsu could hold back, but Kira was sure that those opponents he had to fight when he accepted a mission definitely wouldn't hold back, so while it was painful, he knew that he had to take the risk and understood the limit of his physical ability.
"Hahaha, I am all fired up!"
"Then, let's start now."
"That's what I want! Take this!"
"Don't attack my face, Bastard!"
The two moved closer, then punched each other relentlessly in complete chaos without any intention to dodge, and accepted each other's beatings with vigor like a man!
"OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!"
Yet, everyone became even more excited, and they continued to cheer the two.
"Hmm... he's suitable to join Fairy Tail." Makarov nodded, feeling good about Kira.
Only Lucy wondered whether Fairy Tail was really a legal guild.
Gambling, illegal fighting, vandalism, alcohol, cigarettes, many perverts, property damages, etc, etc.
When Lucy thought all of that, wasn't this an illegal guild?!
As she cried inwardly, Kira and Natsu continued to beat each other to their hearts' content!
