The four people involved were right next to them. When they heard that these people were either making fun of them or preparing to make fun of them, they couldn't control their originally serious expressions.

Lucy and Gray, who have some IQ and EQ, heard the hints of several people, but one of them did not dare to kiss in public, and the other did not dare to be kissed in public. Both of them were so embarrassed that their cheeks turned red.

Juvia acted completely different from them. The big brothers and sisters of the guild set up a ladder for her, an infatuated girl who fell in love. How could she not climb up along the pole?

"I give you a blessing kiss for Gray-sama, Juvia will not give in! No one can compete with Juvia!

"

"Come on, Gray-sama! For your victory, let Juvia give you the 'Kiss of Victory'!

!”

If it was Pizza Hut, Gray thought he would accept it for the sake of filling his stomach, but the 'winning kiss'... let's not talk about it!

】

A real man should protect himself!

"No!"

In comparison, Natsu seemed much simpler: "Oh, oh, it sounds so awesome!

I said, Lucy! Give me the ‘winning kiss’!

"

“Nani?! No!

"

Lucy blushed instantly and hurriedly turned her back to the others. Her intuition told her that the guys behind her must all be looking at her meaningfully.

"Huh?? Why??" Natsu sounded extremely disappointed.

"No reason!

No, just don’t!

"

"What, you're so stingy..."

Is this a question of being stingy or not?!

Before Lucy could open her mouth, she heard the laughter of "Oh, ho, ho, ho," coming from behind, as well as the exchange of words that were pretending to be suppressed but were actually louder than anyone else's.

"Oh~ Lucy is so shy! Really, she and Natsu have obviously done this and that..."

Eh?! Don’t talk nonsense!

"Nani?! Is this true?! Natsu, I can't tell you move so fast..."

The naive Natsu did not understand the meaning of these people's words, and said frankly: "What are you talking about?? My movements are always very fast! Especially in battle..."

Then the laughter behind him became even louder.

Natsu, you idiot! Do you even know what you are talking about?!

Lucy blushed with embarrassment, but did not dare to turn around and explain. She was afraid that if she said one more word, she would make these unscrupulous bastards laugh again.

A girl's mind is so sensitive.

In the end, the two people who did not receive the lucky kiss could only start the final assessment without the blessing buff.

"The last round of this S-level assessment has officially begun!"

Following Makarov's order, Natsu and Gray jumped up at the same time and rushed toward each other.

The two grew up together, fought against each other countless times, and fought side by side countless times. It can be said that they know each other well. Not to mention the tacit understanding that acquaintances can achieve through eye contact, even if they don't look, listen, or speak, they sometimes

Be able to communicate with each other.

This stems from the long-term soul collision and physical communication between the two. The former is an extension of will, and the latter is an extension of will.

So at this time, in this battle, they quickly predicted each other's first move.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!

"

"Made of Ice Shield!"

clang!

The thick and solid shield blocked the hot fist, and smoke and water vapor emitted from the intersection.

"Not broken?!" Natsu was secretly surprised.

There is no doubt that the ice created by Gray at this moment has a lower temperature, a harder texture, and a more stable structure than usual magic.

"Ice-made Hammer Soldier!

"

It is true that Natsu's shooting speed is as fast as he said, but Gray's speed of using ice form is obviously faster!

Normally, the time it takes for Natsu to use one move is enough for Gray to use about two moves, but now...

"Made of Ice Lancer!

"

"Made of Ice·Ice Demonic Sword!

"

Four moves in a row, with different attack methods, angles and powers. Gray kept moving, intending to gain an advantage from the beginning, but how could Natsu let Gray get what he wanted?

“If one punch doesn’t work, then use two punches!

"

boom!

!

The Flame Mage has never been a group of people who can calm down and think of solutions, especially Natsu. Under his urging, the magic power skyrocketed and turned into flames that spread throughout his body.

"The Fire Dragon's Collapse Fist!

"

With a loud shout, Natsu's fist hit the ice shield again. This time, the shield finally couldn't withstand the strong force and was smashed into pieces. The scattered ice crystals flew around, but they flew towards Natsu's body.

The ice crystals melt and evaporate in an instant, turning into white mist.

The flames of the explosion not only broke the ice shield, but also circled the area several feet around Natsu into a high-temperature field. No matter whether it was an ice hammer falling from the sky or an ice spear thrust forward, they could not escape the same fate as the ice shield, and they were buried together in the sea of ​​fire.

among.

The only thing that was not melted by the flames was the sword that Gray held tightly in his hand.

Whoosh!

The heavy sword burst out of the white steam and struck Natsu head-on.

“Drink ah ah!

!”

The beast-like intuition caught the trajectory of the heavy sword. Natsu did not retreat or evade. He jumped lightly with his legs and hit the edge of the ice sword with a fierce and accurate flaming uppercut. The ice sword melted instantly.

A gap.

Then Natsu shouted loudly, and at the same time he spun his body, and used his waist and abdomen to drive his left leg to kick Gray in the head.

“Take the move!

!”

At the critical moment, two thick icicles rose from the ground. One was on Gray's right side, blocking Natsu's kick for him, and the other was under Natsu and pushed up towards his abdomen.

"it's useless!

"

"Made of Ice·War God Spear!

"

"Hey... Gray actually attacked Natsu's place?! That's really too much~"

At this moment, Natsu raised one of his legs, causing the icicle that shot up into the sky to look like it was attacking his crotch.

"That must be just a coincidence..."

Although everyone clearly knows what is going on, because of the presence of someone here, it is very likely that Gray's reputation will be damaged after returning this time.

If he wins, he will become a 'dirty magician who uses despicable tricks to win'; if he loses, he will become a 'dirty failed magician who uses despicable tricks and still loses'.

Thinking of this, all the magicians couldn't help but cast pity on Gray in the field.

In the midst of a fierce battle, Gray felt a strong sense of something bad for no reason.
