Fairy Tail: I Can Hear Everything With My Unique Skill

30: The Duel

When it came to the unexpected duel, the guild members didn't seem surprised, as this is a normal thing. In the past, many people challenged Gildarts. These people included geniuses like Macao and Wakaba.

A few years ago these two were extremely passionate about being the strongest, so they challenged Gildarts many times. And the result is that they obviously got their butts handed to them.

Gradually years went by, and the number of challengers who wanted to battle Gildarts decreased drastically.

" Boys gambling tables are open. You can place your bets on how much time Akira will last against Gildarts. " Makarov, the father of all these troublemakers, shouted as he took the lead and set up the gambling table.

" I bet on 10 minutes, " one person said after some thinking. He placed 100 jewels on the small section that had written 10-15 minutes.

" Really 10 minutes? You are too naive. I bet on 5 minutes, " said another as he also placed his money.

" Hahaha, you both are too naive. I bet it would be a one-hit K.O., " another said as he also placed his own bet.

Like that, others also began to place their bets rapidly. None of them placed their bets on Akira's victory, as it was an impossible outcome.

After all, Gildarts was the strongest. No matter how much of a monster Akira is. It's still too early for him to take on Gildarts.

Looking at the shameless companions who were betting on him, Akira had the urge to beat them up. Although he knew he was no match for Gildarts, couldn't these guys not shout so loudly about it?

And you, Laxus, why the hell are you also joining them? Aren't you supposed to be the tsundere young master? Why the hell are you joining these guys and placing your bet on the one-hit K.O. section?

Looking at Akira's face, which was slowly turning into the color of his hair, Gildarts couldn't help but chuckle. ' This kid sure is interesting,' he thought with a smile.

At first, Gildarts thought he was like your everyday kid who is very arrogant and has no sense of danger. But within these few minutes, Gildarts found that this kid was more special than that. Not only is this kid more mature than any other kid he has seen, but he is also quite strong.

Even Gildarts had to admit that compared to him, this kid is way stronger than when he was at his age. This made Gildarts very interested in this kid and want to guide him so he would become a new pillar for the guild.

" Okay, boys, the rules are simple: each of you is forbidden from seriously injuring each other. The victor would be decided when one of you is either knocked unconscious or is unable to continue to fight. And also Gildarts, please make sure you hold back and do not destroy the guild. " Makarov said as he also took the role of the referee.

Both Akira and Gildarts nodded in agreement to these rules.

" Okay in one, two, three, " Makarov shouted as he fired a small flare to announce the start of the duel.

The first one to move was Akira. He instantly entered Rimuru mode and fired numerous blue flaming lances at Gildarts.

In this battle, Akira had no illusion that he could beat Gildarts in a head-on fight. But despite this, Akira wanted to at least leave a scar on Gildarts.

His only chance to do that is if he manages to analyze his opponent to the best of his abilities. And most importantly, an analysis of Crush magic.

This way he may be able to nullify Gildarts. Magic for a short amount of time. And this time is something he needed to end this match.
