That night...

Lying on his bed, Noah gazed at the ceiling not far above him, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He reached out his hand and touched his chest, feeling the strong pulsation there.

It was a feeling that only Noah knew.

Noah had no idea why his heart was beating so intensely.

But, Noah had a vague feeling...

Something was calling out to him!

His intuition told Noah that if he responded to this call, he would leave Fairy Tail!

This feeling began after Noah obtained the feather from Mavis.

Since it was related to obtaining the feather, even though the feeling was mysterious, the possibility of it becoming reality was very high.

Sighing softly, Noah said, "Sigh..."

At first, Noah didn't want to pay attention to this call.

Noah didn't want to leave Fairy Tail at all.

This was Noah's home.

Everything about Noah started from this Fairy Tail guild.

Given the current situation, the feather was likely related to Noah's origin, existence, and birth.

The feeling of being called and the need to return to somewhere, which only appeared after obtaining the feather, suggested that if Noah responded to it, uncovering the secrets of his origin, existence, and birth might not be impossible!

However, if it meant leaving Fairy Tail, Noah would rather give up!

That was Noah's original thought.

What changed Noah's mind was a sudden recollection of Mavis' words.

"A heart that is tightly connected to Fairy Tail...?"

Noah covered his chest, feeling the unnatural pulsation, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

"Then, no matter how far away I am, will I always return here?"

It was a feeling with no basis.

But, wasn't the feeling that Noah would leave Fairy Tail also without any basis?

Since both were feelings without basis, if he could believe in one, why couldn't he believe in the other?

Thinking this, Noah's heart became unusually calm, and even the pulsation in his chest began to subside.

Noah had made his decision.

No matter what, he would try it first.

Otherwise, it might become something Noah would never be able to let go of for the rest of his life.

To avoid worrying Makarov and the others, Noah had said those words during the day.

Going to Tenrou Island to learn magic from the first Master Mavis!

This way, everyone wouldn't have unnecessary worries.

In fact, it turned out as Noah had expected.

Makarov, upon learning that the first Master of Fairy Tail would personally teach Noah magic, was so excited that he howled repeatedly but did not oppose it, allowing Noah to make his own decision.

Erza, Gray, Natsu, and the others, upon learning that Noah, who had just returned, would leave again for training, made a lot of noise but ultimately did not stop Noah, showing their support.

Only Lisanna, after Noah mentioned going to Tenrou Island for a considerable period, kept her head down and didn't say a word.

As for Mirajane, her eyes were almost emitting real killing intent, looking at Noah with a deep-seated resentment.

In the end, despite the commotion, Noah's decision to leave for Tenrou Island the next day was basically known throughout the entire Fairy Tail guild.

Noah had also made his decision.

Tomorrow, he would try to respond to that strange feeling!

But...

"How is Lisanna doing?"

Noah muttered these words involuntarily, and the next moment, he heard the sound of his room's door opening.

Noah immediately got up.

There were many people who would come to Noah's room.

But only one person would enter without knocking.

"Lisanna!"

"Big Brother Noah!" Lisanna walked in from the door, a gentle smile on her face.

"Are you still awake?"

"Not yet." Noah sat on the edge of the bed, looking directly at Lisanna, and relaxed when he saw that she seemed fine, smiling in response.

"What about you? Why are you here so late?"

"I wanted to talk to you." Lisanna walked directly to Noah's side, sat down, and kept her eyes fixed on him.

Seeing Lisanna like this, Noah sighed inwardly.

Indeed, she wasn't completely fine.

"I'm sorry." Noah raised his head, his gaze turning to the ceiling, not looking at Lisanna, and spoke as if to himself.

"I know my decision is selfish, but..."

Before Noah could finish, his mouth was covered by a finger.

"Big Brother Noah isn't selfish. Since childhood, you've always been the most rational and leading person among us." Lisanna met Noah's eyes.

"Big Brother Noah must have your reasons, I know."

"You do know." For the first time, Noah did not avoid Lisanna's invasive gaze and bravely met her eyes.

"But deep down, you're still unwilling, right?"

"I..." This time, Lisanna looked away first, her tone somewhat low.

"I just feel a bit reluctant. Big Brother Noah was away for four years, and now you're leaving again. We've been together since childhood..."

"Lisanna..." Noah involuntarily held Lisanna's hand, making her slightly surprised.

"While on Tenrou Island, Master Mavis told me that I have a heart tightly connected to Fairy Tail!" Noah poured his emotions into his words, trying to convey his feelings.

"Fairy Tail is always my home, my place of refuge. No matter how far I go, I will always come back!"

"Then, how long will you be gone this time?" Lisanna finally couldn't help but ask the question that most concerned her.

"Another four years?"

Noah could clearly hear the reluctance in Lisanna's voice.

For a moment, Noah even considered giving up his decision and staying in Fairy Tail.

After all, to be honest, Noah himself didn't know when he would return.

But if he really did that, Noah's understanding of himself might remain at the level of being a monster different from others.

Is that really good?

While questioning himself, Noah closed his eyes, and after a moment, suddenly opened them.

"Three years!"

Lisanna was taken aback.

"Three years?"

"Yes!" Noah nodded heavily, his tone firm.

"No matter what, I will definitely be back in no more than three years!"

This statement still had no basis.

But at this moment, Noah had decided that no matter what, he would return to Fairy Tail in no more than three years!

Even if the situation didn't allow it, Noah would find a way to come back!

He would come back even if he had to die!

This was Noah's firm resolve!

Perhaps sensing something from Noah's attitude, Lisanna finally smiled, held Noah's hand, closed her eyes, and leaned her head on Noah's shoulder.

Noah's heart was also deeply moved. He leaned his head against Lisanna's, closed his eyes, and remained silent, letting time pass.

Noah and Lisanna, lost in their tender moment, didn't notice.

Outside the door, a figure left, leaving the trail of a white ponytail in the air, quietly departing.
