Chapter 15: How could you be arrogant with just this much strength?
"President did you teach Akira how to use light magic " Macoa asked as he looked at Makarov. He remembered Akira taking Makarov away to evaluate his magic yesterday. So Macao thought Makarov must have taken that opportunity to teach Akira light magic since his magic talent was terrifying. And with Akira's terrifying talent, it isn't surprising for him to be able to use light magic to this extent.
"No, I didn't " Makarov frowned as he answered. He is as surprised as others about this. ' wait could it be that brat ' Makarov suddenly thought of a possibility.
In the guild library, there are countless magic books. Even his light magic is also there. So the only way Akira could learn is if he learned it while he was in the library. And that itself is scary as it hasn't even been a week activated his magic.
'Truly terrifying ' Makarov thought. At first, he thought Akira would be on the same level as Gildarts, a monster in human skin but it seems he had his expectations low. Even Gildarts wasn't this perverted when he was this young.
" Sigh it seems I need to ban this kid from going to the library for a while, " Makarov said as he sighed. He never thought that he would one day say this. Especially when there is a kid who is very dedicated to learning.
But Makarov had to do this. As he previously said Akira had just been introduced to magic so he shouldn't learn many magics as mastering even one takes much time.
While Makarov was lamenting, Wakaba nudged Macoa to the side and asked in a low voice, "Hey what is the president muttering about? Is he finally going crazy after all these years "
" Maybe I'm not sure. " Macoa shrugged his shoulders. With their fooling around it would only be a matter of time. " But I do know that the president seems to think Akira has the upper hand in this fight, " Macoa said with a cheeky smile. He was one of the people who placed their bets on Akira's victory.
" What no way that's impossible. Laxus is already a genius inheriting the president's enormous magical power. There is no way he could lose " the guild members who were eavesdropping on their conversation shouted. They were people who placed their bets on Laxus's victory.
" Laxus beat the shit out of your opponent. You can't lose. Our drinking money is on your hand " some of the older members who watched Laxus grow up said as they cheered for Laxus.
Hearing their words even Laxus who really lost his cool almost stumbled back. He looked at the shameless uncles with a look of disbelief.
Even Akira was a bit speechless at them. Do they really have nothing to do other than gamble all the time?
Shaking his head, Akira said, " Just ignore them. Those guys are just old drunkards who have nothing better to do in life "
Laxus surprisingly didn't refute Akira's words as he also stopped giving attention to them. This is why he always has his headphones on. This is to protect his sanity with all those old geezers.
" Come on Laxus " Akira shouted as he made a sword made out of light magic. Then he rushed towards Laxus leaving only afterimages.
" Bring it on, " Laxus shouted as he also rushed towards Akira. His whole body was covered in lightning and it seemed like he was lightning itself.
Soon both of them fought each other at a very fast speed. Laxus with his lightning had his speed enhanced to a level that is close to lightning. And Akira with his thought acceleration managed to keep up with Laxus.
Their clashes brought shockwaves as the light sword and thunder fist met each other. Both of them were two flashes of light as they exchanged blows at an astonishing speech. Both of them were evenly matched.
Akira's swordsmanship was able to contend against Laxus who has a few more years of experience in fighting close quarters. Each side gradually stopped holding back after realizing that their opponent didn't seem to falter.
So as each second passed by their clashes intensified. Fortunately, they were fighting outside, or else the guild would be ruined due to their fight.
But this statement was broken when suddenly Akira's light sword was shattered by Laxus's fists. This stunned Akira and he never thought his weapon would disappear this quickly.
And Laxus seeing the perfect opportunity didn't hesitate. He consecrated most of his power to his fists and punched Akira in the stomach. If this punch hits Akira would be seriously injured.
" Wait La…." Just as Makarov was about to jump in to save Akira a shocking scene happened.
Akira who was about to get hit had a mischievous smile on his face. And when Laxus's punch was about to hit him his form suddenly dimmed and turned into a smoke.
Just as everyone was stunned Akira suddenly appeared behind Laxus and grabbed his shoulder. And before Laxus could fully understand what had happened he heard Akira say, " Enchantment Magic seal "
The thunder-covered Laxus suddenly disappeared. " Huh " Laxus who was once again dumbfounded at this sudden change subconsciously tried to use lightning magic but he found out that he couldn't.
" Magic suppression," Makarov said absentmindedly. He was also stunned to see Akira use such a high level of enchantment magic like that.
And what's more, he even used illusion magic with such precision that even he as one of the Ten Great Saints was unable to differentiate.
'This kid is getting more monstrous with each passing day ' Makarov thought as he gulped. He was honestly scared at this point.
Not because of Akira's talent but because of the trouble that will come towards Fairy Tail due to his existence. He knew that the council would not keep their hands if they realized how monstrous of a talent Akira is. The council doesn't want another Gildart appearing in Fairy Tail.
Even though he has absolute confidence to protect his children Makarov still worries that someone may try to harm Akira.
' it's decided I will not let Akira leave Magnolia till he can completely protect himself ' Makarov thought as he had a determined expression. As long as Akira is in Magnolia, Makarov had the confidence to protect him from all the malise that would come towards him.
Although the strength Akira displayed in the fight with Laxus is good it still isn't enough for Makarov to have peace of mind.
Listening to Makarov's worries Akira was conflicted. On one hand, he was very happy with Makarov's care but on the other hand, he was very indictant at not being allowed to go out on missions. You know he is an Archaeologist so how could he find those ancient ruins if he couldn't go out of town?
' It seems I need to show more of my skills for Grandpa President to be relieved ' Akira thought as he looked at Laxus with a look. He just needs to provoke Laxus so he can unleash his dragon-slayer abilities.
If his guess is right Laxus with his dragon slayer abilities is as strong as a S-rank mage in any other guild. And if he could defeat Laxus or even go toe to toe with him that would be enough for him to convince Makarov.
'So I'm sorry Laxus for my future please forgive me for this ' Akira thought as he began to speak in a condensing attitude.
" Is this all you got? How could you be arrogant with just this much strength? "
