Petrel

Chapter 27

Although I would like to say that our sweet conversation with Lucy was interrupted by an interesting fight, but no, it was interrupted by a bright flash of two opposing elements, and poor Lucy turned pale from the bloodlust that Elsa and I released. These two bastards dared to pour more than 70% of the reserve into one attack in front of us, and perhaps the only thing that kept us from immediately punishing the negligent students was that they did not finish the task and by some miracle all the little things, instead of being scattered into atoms, somehow just lay unconscious, which put us into a stupor from how surreal the situation was.

-Elsa. It seems we didn't hammer it into them well enough that they can't waste so much mana in one attack at the beginning of the battle. - Already starting to make plans for the future training of the guilty mages.

- Don't worry, we'll fix it. - My girlfriend said coldly, obviously thinking the same thing.

While this brief exchange of opinions was taking place, the 1st level of the letter was asleep, and the two idiots looked in bewilderment at the window that appeared, which indicated the number of defeated enemies.

Gray: 26

Natsu: 26

- What's wrong? Did we both win? - Dragneel asked uncertainly.

"Then who will get their strength restored?" Gray echoed him.

- No one! You both lost, fight as you are and let the winner not be able to beat up Erigora, I will personally make girls out of you for a year, and training will be doubled from tomorrow! - The guys wanted to be indignant at my statement, but as soon as they noticed the bloodlust with which it was all said, they stood at attention and shouted.

- Yes, Ma'am! - After which, to be on the safe side, they went to the second barrier to beat each other up, completely forgetting all the tricks they had been taught, and no, Gray, apparently sensing something, instantly twisted his fiery friend as if to show that he remembered everything and was generally a good boy.

- Well, Gray, a special plus for your self-preservation instinct. You have an hour to rest and recover, you can go to Erigor at any time when you feel ready. - I noticed to myself that some frostbitten person, despite some stupidity, is still smarter than Natsu, and it's nice when it's your student who wins, but I don't envy Natsu, Elsa, judging by the scarlet aura hovering around her, is very angry now. In general, let's remember the narrow-minded fool who decided to anger Titania.

-Gray, I count on your prudence and I hope that you will not underestimate Erigor. After all, he is a killer and not weak. - I addressed the student seriously.

-Okay. - Gray said, throwing away his childishness. And starting to enter the dragon's rage mode, he flew at full speed into the barrier, hoping to quickly defeat the enemy.

The fight between these two was quite interesting to watch, they rushed around the arena, showering each other with spells and periodically approaching each other when Erigor tried to strike with his scythe, but Gray always maintained a medium distance, testing the limits of his opponent. After a minute of such a whistle-blowing, Frostbitten apparently thought that it was time to finish, otherwise I cannot explain why he only now took the spear I gave him out of his spatial pocket in order to pierce an opponent who did not expect such a thing, and then pinned the unlucky wind mage to the ground, simultaneously encasing him in ice.

Yes, weapons. You didn't think that Elsa and I, practicing with weapons so much, wouldn't make our students do the same? I taught Gray how to use a spear, which I eventually gave him personally. Natsu received instructions from Elsa in the way of the sword.

- Excellent. As was said earlier, we will pay for your meals for a month, starting from tomorrow. - Seeing how my student was already starting to rejoice, I decided to bring him down to earth. - However, even though you showed yourself well in the end. You will still work hard for me until I instill proper fighting in your instincts, I did not like your performance in the first round at all and how in the second round you were going to have a regular fight like you often do in the guild hall, I will instill every technique into your body and mind so that your fun in the guild can no longer spoil your condition!

-But it's not fair to fight seriously during a regular brawl in the hallway. - The ice mage tried to protest.

-Nobody is forcing you to beat someone unconscious. The only thing that would change is that you would get fewer punches, and others would get more. - I answered, already starting to get irritated by such stupidity.

-Okay, let's go back. Elsa, dear, please open a portal to magnolia. - I distracted my friend from handing out life-giving blows to the fire mage.
