A corner of the bar.
Ron lounged languidly against the wooden counter, his fingers idly toying with a glass as he watched the crowd chatting and laughing.
Beside him, Mirajane, clad in a dark red dress, was wiping down glassware; her long silver hair cascaded down the side of her face, creating a vision of such gentleness that she resembled a living painting.
"Ron, how is Elfman doing?"
Mirajane paused her work, a hint of concern flickering in her eyes.
"Don't worry, he just needs a little more ti."
Ron took a sip of his drink, his tone casual yet certain. "After all, that incident... was caused by his own hands. Heart disease requires heart dicine, but I think he's almost out of it."
Just during this warm and quiet mont.
Boom—!!!
With a loud bang, the guild's thick oak doors let out a groan of agony as they were kicked open!
Imdiately after, an energetic roar echoed through the hall:
"I'm back!!!"
"Aye! We're back!!!"
At the entrance stood a boy with cherry-pink spiky hair, a blue cat with wings, and... a blonde girl who hadn't quite figured out the situation yet.
The guild mbers didn't even have ti to mourn for the door before they habitually laughed and teased:
"Welco back..."
"You've gone and done another grand deed, haven't you, Natsu..."
However, Natsu completely ignored everyone's greetings.
His gaze swept across the hall and instantly locked onto the lazy figure at the bar, his eyes erupting with raging fire!
"Ron—! You bastard!!!"
Natsu let out a great shout, his whole body launching like a cannonball as he charged aggressively toward the bar, delivering a flying kick mid-air.
Ron's eyelids lifted slightly as he set down his glass.
A thick earthen wall rose abruptly, precisely blocking Natsu's path.
Thump!!
Natsu's foot slamd hard into the earthen wall. The terrifying force instantly caused spiderweb-like cracks to spread across the wall, even kicking right through it!
"Ha! Got you!"
Just as Natsu was about to get smug, he saw a mischievous smirk curl on Ron's lips.
"Too naive, Natsu."
Ron's finger twitched slightly.
The originally hard earthen wall instantly turned into shifting quicksand, sucking Natsu's leg in like a swamp before the sand began to spin wildly.
"Waaaah—!! So dizzy, so dizzy, so dizzy!!"
Natsu was like a ragdoll thrown into a washing machine, spinning until he saw stars.
Then, the quicksand spat him out!
Whoosh—
Natsu traced a perfect parabola through the air, accurately smashing into a wooden table in the distance.
Only after finishing this did Ron slowly lean back against the bar, a thick smile on his face.
"Tsk tsk, Natsu, you're really over-enthusiastic, aren't you?"
"Ron, you bastard!!!"
Natsu sprang up with a kip-up, pointing at Ron in grief and indignation.
"You lied to ! The intel on that dragon was fake."
Ron widened his eyes in mock surprise, looking completely innocent.
"Oh? It was fake? Oh dear, that's such a pity~"
"I told you the mont I heard the news, how could you doubt ?"
Though he spoke of pity, the bright smile on his face clearly said: 'That's right, I did it on purpose, what are you going to do about it?'
"Aaaah! You're making so mad!!"
Natsu was so angry that fire erupted from his body as he charged forward again with a howl.
As a result, he was flipped over by Ron again. This ti, by sheer coincidence, he crashed into Gray who was passing by.
"Natsu, what the hell are you doing again!" Gray, wearing only his boxers, glared at him.
"What did you say, ice-face?! You want a fight?!"
"Bring it on! Like I'm afraid of you, droopy-eyes!!"
The conflict between the two was like a spark falling into a barrel of oil.
The battle escalated instantly!
It quickly went from a two-man match to a team match—five people, ten people... "Bang! Crash! Boom!!"
Wine bottles flew, and tables and chairs shattered!
The guild hall, which was peaceful just a mont ago, turned into a battleground for a free-for-all in the blink of an eye!
This was the unique daily activity of Fairy Tail: house demolition!
As the catalyst, Ron had already skillfully teleported out of the fray, leaning against the bar and watching the farce with great interest.
"Um..."
Beside him, Mirajane shook her head with a helpless smile, ignoring the scene she was so accustod to.
Ron leisurely swirled his glass, the smile never leaving his face.
"Um..."
In the center of the hall, Lucy's eyes were wide, and she was frozen in place.
The sight of the chaotic dance before her eyes caused her worldview to collapse rapidly.
Is... Is this a Wizard guild?
This is clearly an asylum, right?!
'Is there not a single normal person here?!'
If Ron could hear her thoughts, he would definitely tell her:
Normal person? What sane person would join Fairy Tail!
Though he didn't hear her inner complaints, Ron still noticed the blonde girl in the chaotic crowd.
"Hi, you a newcor?"
Ron noticed the trembling blonde girl, a harmless smile on his face.
This sudden conversation startled Lucy, and she quickly forced a stiff, polite smile.
"H-Hello! My na is Lucy! Um..."
She pointed at the guild hall, which was a complete ss, her tone full of worry.
"Is it really okay not to stop them?!"
"It's fine, don't mind them. They've always been like this."
Ron shrugged indifferently, reaching out to catch Happy as he was tossed over.
"Besides, isn't this... quite interesting?"
After all, when there's danger, these guys are always the strongest, most reliable, and trustworthy companions and family!
Of course, when it's safe, they are also the greatest danger.
Lucy: "..."
Interesting?!
How is this interesting?!
This is clearly just a large-scale, indiscriminate brawl!!!
Ron looked at Lucy's expression of shattered values and speechless frustration, finding it rather amusing.
"Co with first. It's still a bit... dangerous here."
He casually stuffed Happy into Lucy's arms and led her toward the bar.
"Mira, we have a newcor."
Mirajane, who was calmly tidying up, turned around with a gentle smile.
"Welco!"
"Mirajane! It's really her!"
Lucy instantly switched to fangirl mode, her eyes sparkling.
"Hello, Mirajane! I'm Lucy."
Ron watched this scene and was about to say sothing with a smile.
Suddenly—
Smack!
A crisp sound.
A pair of boxers flew over by so stroke of bad luck and landed precisely on Ron's shoulder.
The air instantly froze.
The smile on Ron's face stiffened, then slowly vanished.
A suffocating low pressure erupted from him as the center!
"Heh..."
Ron pinched the boxers, his gaze as dangerous as a predator about to strike.
"So... is this an invitation?"
He casually flicked the boxers back onto Gray's face, and in his palm, a complex magic circle suddenly lit up.
Since soone started the fight, he was going to join without hesitation!!!
Hum—!
In an instant, dangerous magical light appeared beside everyone fighting in the hall.
"Stop it right now!! You bunch of idiots!!!!"
An ear-splitting roar ca from the entrance, and then, a massive shadow lood over everyone!
Ron's eyes flickered, his reaction speed incredibly fast.
He instantly withdrew the magic circle, putting on a 'I'm a good boy, I didn't do anything' expression.
The others were only a fraction slower in their reactions.
Only Natsu stood there fearlessly with his hands on his hips, gloating.
"Ahahaha! Look at how scared you all are. That ans I win this round."
"This silly brat..." Ron shook his head, facepalming helplessly.
Thud—!!!
A loud bang.
The world finally beca quiet!!!
