Author's Note: I am sick that's why there were no new chapters. Here's a small chapter.
"Beautiful girl! Fight me!"
Richter challenged Erza. Erza gave a smile and agreed to Richter's challenge, "Fine by me. One more doesn't matter."
But before they could start the fight, everyone in the guild started to fall down one after another. Richter was about to rush towards Mirajane side but Erza fell onto his arms.
"Mystogan!" Makarov muttered in a slurred speech.
Thinking it was an enemy attack, Richter who was still fine got ready to attack but Makarov stopped him saying, "He is our guild member."
A man whose whole face was covered came inside the guild with his cape flying in the air, giving that dramatic side turn, he moved towards the quest board and took a job saying, "Master, I am taking the job."
Makarov yelled at him, "Remove the sleeping magic before you go!"
Mystogan and Richter had a bit of a staredown. Nothing much. Mystogan with his awesome cape fling style exited the guild counting down, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1". With the ending of his countdown, he was already outside of the guild and the sleeping magic was casted off since everybody were now fully awake.
Richter was still looking at the guild entrance. His thoughts were, 'Wow! That was fucking cool. Maybe I should also create countdown technique.' Erza who was still being supported by Richter was having hard time breaking free from his clutch.
Richter was back to his sense when he sensed something wiggling in his arms. Seeing her trying to free from his arms, he gently let her go and apologized, "Sorry for that. I was kind of lost."
"There's no need to apologize. I understand you were just trying to help me."
While they were having this conversation, everyone in the guild was freaking about Mystogan and his powerful sleeping magic.
Lucy who is also a new member like Richter asked, "Mystogan? Who is he?"
Gray who was sitting near her answered, "He is the S-class mage of the fairy tail and the running candidate for the strongest man in the guild. Except for master no one has ever seen him."
"What nonsense!" Richter said as he ignored the Gray's comments and got more excited on fighting against Erza, "Come on! Let's start our fight, beautiful girl."
Erza got on her stance.
"My name is Erza Scarlet."
And so did Richter.
"So, You are Erza Scarlet! I see. Name is Richter Quake. Master! Start our fight."
Makarov too was a bit interested. Everyone's attention got drawn towards the fight.
"START!"
Richter dashed a bit forward and swung his arm. Erza dodged it stepping a bit backwards and immediately counterattacked with a punch aiming for livershot. But Richter's combo hadn't finished. He quickly stepped inside moving more closer towards Erza, she missed her shot hitting his back. Whereas Richter got a clear shot with his elbow on her cheek. The force was enough to stagger her and bring her to her knees.
Everyone in the guild gasped. That Erza was brought on to her knees. What the hell is happening today?
Erza stood up. Her looks a bit more serious than before. She summoned her magic sword and got ready to fight again. Without speaking a word, she dashed in. Richter dodged her attack. She was relentless with her attacks without any care for surrounding damage, Richter dodged and blocked all of her attacks using anything available nearby.
Honestly, Richter was a bit disappointed. She definitely had speed and technique as a swordsman but there was no flow to her techniques. He had gotten used to her attacks that's why he had no problem deflecting her attacks using his bare hands. Her form was disrupted, she tried to balance herself as fast as possible but Richter had already caught onto that opening and her. He judo threw Erza onto the ground.
The guild was eerily silent. 'Holy shit!' That's what everyone thought.
Erza once again stood up. This time with some anger and irritation in her face. She asked, "Why are you not using your magic?"
Richter asked with another question, "Do you want to hear truth or lie?"
"Of course, Truth." She replied.
"You are weak." Richter bluntly answered.
Erza scowled, "No more holding back. HEAVEN'S WHEEL ARMOUR." A valkyrie armour adorned her as flew in the air. She unleashed her attack.
"Heaven's Wheel: Circle Sword"
Richter rushed and jumped towards her. He jumped before she had released her attack. He had enough time to adjust himself in his midair flight to dodge her circle sword with his acrobats. Erza flew down with speed to cut him down but Richter caught her sword directly with his bare hands.
"As I said, Weak!"
And punched her in the face to the ground.
"You do have skills but there's just no flow to them. It's kind of predictable."
She stood up from the small crater her crash had created. She was in her usual armour, she came forward and gave a handshake. "It's my defeat. Although I wish I was able to make you use magic."
"You need to get waaay stronger for that to happen. The fight was still enjoyable for me. Let's fight again next time."
"Sure."
Everyone in the guild had hard time accepting the fact that Erza admitted defeat but she had. Almost all in the guild was shocked, 'almost all', there was one person that was feeling different about it. You could even say, A bit happy about it.
"AHAHAHAHA!!!! Fight Me! Richter! If I defeat you that means I am stronger than Erza."
Natsu maniacally laughed and lunged at Richter. Richter couldn't help but smile at the guy's antics. But A Fight Is A Fight. He grabbed Natsu's hair and threw him towards Gray. Gray was pissed at Natsu for crashing on him and both started fighting with each other.
Richter had won his fight against a S-class mage. It wouldn't sit right with him if he doesn't show his dominance.
Giving a grandiose T-pose with, his nose pointed higher than the sky, his aura shining brighter than the sun, his smile stretched more than the river Nile, he spoke words that were more truer than the truth itself, "I am the strongest man in the fairy tail guild."
