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.
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.
