Ch 76 : Duel
The room with the curtains drawn was dim, as the sunlight could not filter through.
Mira curled up on the bed alone, her white hair disheveled, and her beautiful face clearly reflected two streaks of tears.
She tightly clutched the necklace that Noel had given her after finding it on Galuna Island.
"Noel... Noel... Why did this happen? I don't want... I don't want this... I've already lost Lisanna, I can't lose Noel too... No..."
Mira muttered in a dazed voice, her memories of the times with Noel slowly seeping into her heart.
----------------
Six years ago, inside the Fairy Tail guild.
"Die, Erza!"
"Go cry in the corner, Mirajane!"
"You sharp-edged girl!"
"You belly-baring girl!"
"Stiff girl!"
"Flat-chested girl!"
Accompanied by the angry roars of the two girls and the intense killing intent radiating from them, everyone in the guild immediately retreated to a corner, whispering and pointing at the two girls who were glaring at each other, full of hostility.
"It's starting again, Erza and Mirajane."
"Come on, place your bets. I bet Erza will win this time."
"I think Mirajane can win."
Before the others could finish placing their bets, the two girls were already locked in a fierce struggle.
The red-haired girl in armor poked at the eyes of the white-haired girl, who was wearing a daring belly-baring outfit, hot pants, and knee-high boots.
The white-haired girl immediately retaliated with a finger in the nose, and the red-haired girl had to defend herself against the white-haired girl's "low kick," retracting her hand that was halfway to pulling her opponent's cheek.
"The level is so low..." Cana couldn't help but comment as she watched Mirajane and Erza, who were fighting like street thugs.
"Erza's the one who starts this and yet still dares to tell us not to fight."
"It's really infuriating," muttered Natsu and Gray, who had often been at the receiving end of Erza's bullying.
"Ugh... why are they fighting again?" Just as the situation seemed to be escalating, a golden-haired young man suddenly walked through the doors of the Fairy Tail guild.
He looked at the familiar scene in front of him with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Noel is back."
"Such a shame, looks like they won't get to fight after all."
"Yeah."
As expected by the guild members, the young man immediately disappeared from the doorway and suddenly appeared in front of the two girls who were locked in a struggle.
He placed a hand on their heads and forcibly separated them.
"Alright, that's enough, stop fighting..." Noel said helplessly to the two girls.
"Noel, don't interfere! This time, I'm going to show this armored girl what I'm capable of!"
"Noel, move aside! Today, I'm going to teach this flat-chested girl a lesson!"
The two girls, separated by Noel, clearly had no intention of letting each other off the hook and continued trying to break through Noel's blockade.
Looking at this scene, Noel sighed. "Can't you two just behave for once...?"
"It's not like I can't spare this armored girl, Noel, but let's have a duel!" Mirajane, with waist-length white hair, wearing a bold midriff-baring crop top, black shorts, and black knee-high boots, resembling a little delinquent, suddenly spoke up, her blue eyes shining with a dangerous glint.
"Uh, but... I'm really tired," Noel said, not sure where to start with his complaints while looking at the determined white-haired girl in front of him.
"White-haired girl, don't waste your energy, Noel won't pay attention to you," Erza said, grinning smugly.
For Erza, just seeing Mirajane get thwarted was enough to make her happy.
"Go away, edge girl! I'm talking to Noel!!"
"What did you say! You flat-chested girl!!"
Watching as the battle seemed to reignite between Mirajane and Erza, Noel sighed. "Alright, I get it. Mira, go ahead!"
"Really!!" Hearing Noel's words, Mirajane immediately abandoned Erza and looked at Noel eagerly.
"Noel, don't pay attention to this tomboy," Erza said, reluctantly.
"It's nothing. It'll be over soon," Noel said unconsciously, uttering words that made Mirajane want to explode.
The rest of the guild, hearing what Noel said, immediately exchanged looks of sympathy and pity.
It seemed Noel wasn't just low on emotional intelligence... he was also a bit clueless.
(It feels a bit cold.) Noel suddenly felt a chill down his back.
When he turned around, he saw the strange looks from everyone.
"Oh, is that so? It'll be over soon!" As expected, upon hearing Noel's words, Mirajane began to emit a dense, dark aura, her fists crackling as she clenched them, her killing intent and resentment palpable to everyone around.
"Ah... no... what I meant was... I won't let Mira get hurt, that's how it'll end." Realizing the murderous tone in Mirajane's voice, Noel quickly scrambled to explain.
However, he didn't realize that his words only poured more fuel onto the already raging fire of her anger.
"Noel... die, you bastard!!!" In an instant, with Mirajane's fury, the tables and chairs in the guild scattered everywhere, forming a missile-like barrier.
The attack radius affected the entire guild, and many members were caught in the crossfire, tragically falling to the ground under Mirajane's wrath.
"[Take Over, Satan Soul]!"
As Mirajane finished her words, she transformed into a demon with a tail, sharp claws, and wings.
Her mobility increased dramatically, and she spread her dark demon wings, charging at Noel.
"[Devil Arc]". The sharp claws crackled with blue lightning as they reached for Noel's arm.
Faced with the furious Mirajane, Noel couldn't help but smile wryly.
He simply shifted his body to the left and narrowly avoided Mirajane's claws.
"What?! Don't run!" Seeing this, Mirajane unwillingly continued her attack:
"[Dark Storm]!"
Numerous dark hands, crackling with black electricity, shot out following Mirajane's words, attacking Noel.
With a light step, Noel dodged each of the attacks with precision, his expression unchanged.
His body moved continuously, narrowly avoiding each of Mirajane's strikes.
Noel's speed wasn't necessarily fast, but it had a graceful flow to it, almost like a dancer performing on the edge of a blade, leaving the onlookers in awe at the beauty of his movements.
"This strike missed by 0.3 centimeters, this strike needs to be angled 15 degrees to the right, this strike needs to be faster..." Noel continued to dodge, taking the time to critique Mirajane's attacks.
Just by looking at Mirajane's furiously bristling white hair, it was clear how angry she was.
"Ahhh, damn you! Take this! [Soul Annihilator]!!"
Once again, Mirajane gathered a massive amount of magical power, this time merging all the electric orbs into one, compressing it in her hand.
As the sphere grew smaller, the aura it emitted became increasingly terrifying.
However, when Mirajane had compressed the orb to halfway, something unexpected happened.
