Chapter 4 - Axel VS Erza

POV (Narrator)

Erza: What did you do to me….???

Everyone was shocked to hear that and they were all looking towards Axel. Axel just shrugged his arms and walked towards Erza who was on the ground.

Axel: Do you know that our body is balanced because of our ears. If a produce a sound which interferes with that then the result is this. Now please give up I don't want to hurt a beautiful lady like you.

Axel used the power of Zepar and created a sound that would mess up her balance. All the spectators were shocked that how Axel treated Erza they were now sure that he was going to die. Erza was fuming with rage she hit her own head with the hilt of her sword. Though the method was barbaric but it worked and she got up on her own feet. She banged her own head so that she can no longer hear the sound made by Axel.

She raised her sword and lunged at Axel. Axel caught her sword with b_a_r_e hands which again shocked all of them. They didn't know how many times were they going to get shocked now. Erza gritted her teeth and jumped backward and decided to change her armor.

Erza: Heaven's Wheel Armor. Dance my blades.

She changed her armor and she was now holding swords in both of her hands and many swords were floating behind her.

Axel: Nice, now show me what you got.

She launched her swords at Axel and he pulled out his own sword and parried all the swords at a blinding speed and lunged at Erza. Erza tried to defend herself with her sword but as soon as her sword made contact with hers it broke into many pieces. Axel didn't want to hurt her so he came down back.

Erza: Why did you back off?? Are you looking down on me huh…??

Axel: Don't you think it's enough if not let's see your reaction now.

Axel releases half of his magic power and all of them start to sweat including Makarov. Erza didn't want to give up but now she didn't have any choice.

Erza: I give up.

Axel stops releasing his magical power and the whole arena was quiet but they suddenly started to cheer up and congratulate Axel. But this was not liked by Erza and she released her magic power which caused the rest of the members to back off while sweating drastically. Axel goes to Erza and offers her his hand quite shockingly Erza accepts his hand and Axel helps her to get up.

Erza: How much were you holding back??

Axel: Just like you were holding back.

Erza: How did you know??

Axel: This wasn't a serious fight so it was obvious and Makarov choose you to test my abilities so you must be strong.

Erza: Oh I see.

While the two of them were speaking Mira and Makarov walked up to them to congratulate Axel.

Makarov: You are strong kid. Definitely an S-class but I can't give you that status now. You need to complete some jobs and gain some reputation.

Axel: I understand.

Mira: So Axel where will you take the mark???

Mira: Ok, if that is what you want.

Mira was already carrying the stamp with her she marked him back of his right hand and all four of them started to walk inside when suddenly Axel remembered a huge problem that he didn't have any money on him.

Axel: Uhm… Excuse me Erza can I ask you one favor.

Erza: Yes sure.

Axel: Will you go on a mission with me, I have no money with me and I would also get a general idea of how these things work.

Erza: Sure Axel. After I saw your skills I am sure that we will be able to take care of an S-class mission. Let me pick one up.

Axel: I should also come with you right??

Erza: Actually all the S-class missions are on the second floor and only S-class mages are allowed there. It is a strict rule which must never be broken.

Axel: Ok then, I will leave the mission selection on you.

Makarov: Boy I would like if you don't take this mission since this is an emergency quest.

He shows me the pamphlet and it was about the subjugation of wyvern attacking villages.

Axel: No offense master but I want to go not because I am broke but I need to do this. I cannot back up because this is an emergency quest.

Makarov: Well, I know you will be fine with your strength. Erza will be leading this mission because she has more experience than you is that ok with you??

Axel: Absolutely master.

Erza: We will be leaving immediately but first I need to pack my stuff for this mission wait for me near the station.

Axel: Ok, I will be waiting there.

Mira: Good luck both of you and Axel be careful out there don't try to overdo yourself since all this is new to you.

Axel: Don't worry I will be careful out there.

Mira: Master what do you think??

Makarov: That kid is strong maybe strong like Gildarts or me.

Mira gets shocked when she heard that.

Mira: But master how can that be??

Makarov: He said that his magic was Take Over magic but he didn't use it. Without even using his magic his toyed with Erza which is not normal.

Mira: I see master.

Axel was currently following the marker pointing towards the station since he didn't know the way. He entered the station and sat near the entry gate so he would able to see Erza when she comes.

Axel: Holding back is very difficult…..
