"Complete this mission, Noah!"

When these words echoed throughout the Fairy Tail guild, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's gaze immediately focused on Noah, their eyes and faces filled with astonishment.

Not just the mages in the guild, but even Noah himself was momentarily stunned and exclaimed in surprise.

"Me?!"

"Old man, are you kidding me?!" Even Gray almost jumped up.

"Noah can't even use magic, how could he possibly complete a mission that requires dozens of mages?!"

"I wouldn't have said it if it were a joke!" Makarov met Noah's still astonished gaze and closed his eyes.

"The main issue with this mission is the enormous amount of magic required to be injected into the Lake of Rituals, which is why it always requires a large team of mages to complete. Aside from the magic factor, the mission itself is not difficult and poses no danger!"

"Noah!" Makarov suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Noah with a serious expression.

"Although you haven't started learning magic and can't use it, your own magic power is exceptionally vast. Even though you are young, the magic power in your body is enough to rival dozens or even hundreds of excellent mages. You are the most suitable person to complete this mission!"

Hearing Makarov's explanation, the guild members were astonished that Noah possessed such highly estimated magic power by Makarov, and they understood why Makarov made this decision.

Indeed, the most challenging part of this mission is the enormous amount of magic required. If this issue is resolved, the mission itself is not difficult.

Now, Noah alone can solve the biggest magic problem, so the mission doesn't require dozens of mages to go together. The reward doesn't need to be divided into so many parts, making this originally unpopular mission suddenly very attractive.

After all, the reward for this mission is three million J!

If the three million J were divided into dozens of parts, it would be pitifully small, but if it doesn't need to be divided, the reward is high enough to make anyone's heart race.

Moreover, since the mission itself is not difficult and not dangerous, and the reward is high, how could it not become very attractive?

At that moment, the guild members all spoke up.

"Congratulations, Noah!"

"To get such a high reward for your first mission, it's really enviable!"

"Back when I started, my first mission's reward was only 70,000 J, so little that I still want to cry when I think about it!"

"What about that? My first mission was only 50,000 J!"

"Wait, wait, wait! Everyone, wait a moment!" Gray, unable to bear it any longer, shouted out and jumped around in a rage.

"Even so, the fact that Noah can't use magic remains. A random wild beast could bite him to death. What seems safe to you is a big danger to Noah!"

"That..." The guild members were all speechless.

"Grandpa..." Noah hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

"Although I also want to start taking missions officially, Gray is right. Even if my magic power is not weak, I still can't use magic. If I go on a mission, there is a possibility of failure, so let's just forget it..."

"Don't worry, how could I let my grandson go out to work alone at such a young age?" Makarov suddenly smiled.

"This time, Laxus will go with you!"

The guild members started to chatter.

"Laxus? He will go too?"

"If he goes, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"What a pity, I originally wanted to go with Noah..."

As the guild members chattered, Noah and Gray remained silent.

Laxus Dreyar, the grandson of Fairy Tail's guild master Makarov and Noah's nominal brother, is an exceptionally excellent mage who has already proven himself at the young age of fifteen!

Although only fifteen years old, Laxus' strength as a mage ranks among the top in Fairy Tail, even surpassing many senior guild members. He has already completed many high-difficulty missions on his own.

With such an excellent mage accompanying him, even if something unexpected happens, Laxus' strength is more than enough to handle it.

However, Noah's expression was somewhat complicated.

Only Noah knew that Laxus, due to certain matters, had a tense relationship with Makarov and was not on good terms with him. This was why Noah lived in the Fairy Tail guild rather than at Makarov's house.

To convince Laxus to go with him, Grandpa must have put in a lot of effort.

Thinking about this, Noah, who was originally hesitant and worried about his ability to take on a mission, took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"Grandpa, I will definitely complete this mission!"

Seemingly hearing the emotion in Noah's words, everyone around fell silent, and Makarov smiled with relief, then changed the subject.

"Also, besides Laxus, Noah, you need to take one more person!"

Saying this, Makarov turned his head and looked towards a wooden table in the corner of the guild.

"Erza, you will go too!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent, and the atmosphere became oppressive.

Erza, who was sitting at the wooden table in the corner, seemed unaware of the tension. She stood up, nodded, and then walked out of the guild without a word.

Seeing this, the guild members remained speechless, and only Gray muttered softly.

"What's the matter? We are all comrades, is it necessary to be so cold?"

These words also expressed the thoughts of everyone in the guild.

Makarov kept watching Erza until her figure disappeared through the door, then he turned to Noah and spoke softly.

"If possible, I hope you can save that child. She is quite pitiful..."

Noah turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, neither nodding nor shaking his head, his face calm.

As for what Noah was thinking, he knew, and Makarov seemed to know as well, a wry smile on his face as he continued to drink.

...

Returning to his room, Noah, who had only packed some clothes and some travel expenses, carried a small bag and, amidst Gray's complaints about why he, who can use magic, couldn't go on the mission, and the farewells of the guild members, walked out of the door.

There, Erza, who was not carrying anything and was only wearing a cold suit of armor, waited quietly for Noah's arrival without saying a word, and Noah did not pay attention to Erza.

Because his gaze had already been captured by a figure leaning against the wall of a nearby building.

It was a young man with short, spiky blond hair, wearing a modern-style magical device that could play music in his ear, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The young man was hugging his arms, leaning against the wall, eyes closed, seemingly listening to music. He only seemed to notice Noah's arrival and opened his eyes, his sharp gaze immediately focusing on Noah.

Facing the other's sharp gaze, Noah's steps did not falter, his expression unchanged, and he walked straight over, stopping only when he was less than two meters away from the other, looking up to meet the sharp gaze.

The two of them stared at each other silently, and Erza, standing to the side, remained silent, making the air heavy.
