Chapter 497: “Debut”

Laxus!

The entire hall turned their attention toward the yellow-haired man on the second floor who had called out his name, reacting with astonishment.

This is another Dragon Slayer from the guild, the Presidents grandson, Laxus Dreyar, an S-class Thunder Dragon Slayer what incredible magic power!

Like the others, Jerry also looked up to the second floor, sensing Laxuss formidable magical aura.

Regarding sheer magical energy quantity and intensity, Laxuss power exceeded even that of Erza, another S-class member, and approached President Makarovs level.

Laxus, come down and face me! Natsus fiery enthusiasm reignited at the sight of Laxus.

However, Laxus glanced at Natsu with disdain and retorted, Natsu, you couldnt defeat Erza, and now you want to challenge me? Youre overestimating yourself.

Erza furrowed her brow upon hearing Laxuss words. As fellow S-class members, Laxuss words implied he didnt take her seriously.

What do you mean by that? she asked.

Meaning, I am the strongest in the entire guild, Laxus declared confidently, pointing to himself without a hint of humility.

Upon hearing this, Natsus anger flared up, and he jumped onto a table, shouting, Come down!

Come up if you dare, Laxus taunted, challenging Natsu.

Come up! Natsu jumped high, seemingly attempting to reach the second floor and confront Laxus directly.

However, he was halted mid-leap as a massive fist descended from above, slamming him back to the ground.

On the second floor, only S-class mages are permitted. You are not qualified, President Makarov declared firmly, having intervened to stop Natsu.

Haha, he got told off! Laxus chuckled, relishing Natsus plight as he leaned against the second-floor railing.

Laxus had known this would happen when he provoked Natsu earlier, goading him to jump to the second floor.

Laxus, thats enough, Makarov admonished Laxus after dealing with Natsu.

However, Laxus appeared to disregard the warning. He gazed down at all the mages below in the hall and proclaimed loudly, I wont let go of the title of Fairy Tails strongest whether its Mystogan, Erza, or you newcomers!

To everyones surprise, Laxus fixed his attention on Jerry.

This action indicated that Jerry was on the same level as Erza and Mystogan.

Unlike the other mages, who assumed Jerry was proficient only in auxiliary magic, Laxus had glimpsed something more potent in Jerrys sleep magic when observing Mystogan.

Jerry, noticing everyones attention on him, couldnt help but feel perplexed by the sudden focus.

He had been contemplating how to acquire Makarovs giant magic technique, but now he was under scrutiny for the title of the guilds strongest, which held little interest.

Jerry raised his hands, then gave a thumbs-up to Laxus on the second floor, saying, Youre the strongest, the best, and you can have the title!

Humph! Laxus, sensing Jerrys indifferent attitude, felt a pang of annoyance.

The magicians dismissive tone did not sit well with him.

As a magician, you dont even possess the courage to ascend to the second floor. Youre not even as good as Natsu. I fail to see why the guild accepted a talentless individual like you. At this rate, the guilds future looks bleak, Laxus mocked Jerry, his words dripping scornfully.

Jerrys expression hardened upon hearing Laxuss taunts.

While he had no desire to vie for the title of Fairy Tails strongest mage, he couldnt tolerate such insults.

Why had he studied magic? So that he could hold his own in situations like this.

He had hoped that, as a magician, he could gain the respect he deserved.

Ive heard that you have bad breath, but I didnt expect it to be this foul, Jerry retorted coolly.

However, before Jerry could proceed, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him vanish.

Took you long enough, still trash is trash! Laxus retorted as he vanished into the thin air.

The mages in the hall were dumbfounded as they witnessed Laxus vanish from the second floor.

Jerry maintained his gentle smile, but his actions had just demonstrated that he possessed more than auxiliary magic abilities.

Laxus had likely sought to provoke Jerry in order to test his true strength and discern the extent of his magical abilities.

With dark guilds lurking nearby, it was a prudent move to evaluate the potential powers of their new member.

As he plummeted, Laxus realized that he had no means of flight.

This absence of magical ability to soar was not a characteristic of any S-clas mage Jerry had encountered so far.

Jerry decided to teach Laxus a lesson in humility.

He had opened a portal beneath Laxus, sending him skyward.

Then, Jerry positioned two connected portals at specific locations, allowing Laxus to descend and then be sent aloft again repeatedly.

Jerry knew that flying magic was not a part of Laxuss arsenal, so he kept him suspended in the air, rendering him helpless.

The hall watched in astonishment as Laxus continued his unending descent and ascent.

Violence cant solve everything. Laxus needed some fresh air. Ill let him down when he wakes up, Jerry explained with a friendly smile.

For Jerry, the title of Fairy Tails strongest mage meant little.

What mattered more was the respect he earned through his actions and abilities.
