Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master

The Tenrou Group stared at the doors in disbelief, Natsu Dragneel, that Natsu Dragneel, who always causes so much destruction, actually became the guild master!?

And most importantly, he's a Saint!? One of the four Gods of Ishgar no less!

"I don't believe it." Gray said as he ran towards the entrance and open the door.

The rest of the Tenrou Group also followed after him, with Makarov walking in front of them.

They went outside, and immediately noticed the handsome man with salmon hair is standing there with his arms crossed in his c.h.e.s.t.

A large crack on the ground are proof of him falling down from great heights,

He was looking at the Tenrou Group with a serene smile, his eyes shows his relief, worries, guilt, and many other emotions.

His saint cloak flutters along with the wind.

"Gramps, guys, welcome back." He smiles, and slowly approached them. He stopped in front of Makarov and crouched down, staring at the third straight in his eyes.

Makarov smiles and patted his shoulder, "Its been hard on you, but you have done great job, I'm proud of you, my boy."

Hearing this, Natsu couldn't stop his eyes watering, even though he knew that Fairy Tail is in much better condition now than before, hearing those words from the person he respects, and treated as a grandfather, is really different.

"Thank you."

Natsu stood up and wiped his eyes and glance at every returnee with a smile, its been seven years, but they still look the same.

"Erza Mira, Lissana, Gildarts, Laxus- LAXUS!? Why are you here!?" Natsu was startled when he saw Laxus, last time he remembered, he was exiled and traveled alone.

He has no recollection of him being on Tenrou Island.

Everyone stared at him dumbly, even though he's much more m.a.t.u.r.e now, even looking more handsome than before, some parts of him doesn't change.

"-anyway, It has been seven years since we last saw each other, well, it might be just a few days for you guys, but you get the point right? This calls for a celebration, though I'm sure you already started without me."

"Natsu."

"Hm?" Natsu turned his head and saw Gildarts looking at him with a smirk, seeing that, he already knew what the other is thinking, after all, he used to have the same expression when he wanted to fight.

"I heard that you became a saint, and a God of Ishgar no less, I wonder how strong you've become."

"I'll fight as well, I'll prove to you that I'm still better than you Flame-Brain," Gray said as he threw away his clothes.

"You can do it Gray-sama! Juvia will support you!" No need to say, who's the one that said this.

"Gehee~! So salamander already has a higher rank than me? This can't be good, I need to beat you up and take that position of yours." Gajeel said as he began stretching his body.

"I would also like to see how strong you've become, Natsu." Laxus said as he threw his cloak away, with Freed catching it.

Natsu merely smiled, showing no signs of excitement unlike the him before who would probably already rushed to them.

All guild members also went outside to take a look, and Cana, despite being inactive for seven years, immediately started her betting business.

Many people gathered around her and quickly start to place their bets. Sting and Rogue, who are broke, borrowed money from Yukino and placed their bets on Natsu.

Happy placed his bet on Natsu, all of his jewels were placed on him, if Natsu lose, then he'll have to take missions for five days straight just to have some food to eat.

Frosch and Lector also placed their bets on Natsu, they put all their savings on him, which is only around a thousand jewels.

Erza and Mira stood at the side, looking at the five people who are about to fight.

"You don't want to join in, Erza?" Mira asks while looking at her with a sweet smile.

Erza shook her head and folden her arms, "No need, the four of them are probably already enough to match him despite Natsu being one of the Four Gods of Ishgar."

"You underestimate him Titania."

Erza and Mira turned their head and saw a beautiful woman with long blue hair walking towards them.

"You are?" Erza inquired. She saw her in the guild earlier, but doesn't have a chance to talk to her.

"Fiana Aquabell, the 5th saint, nice to meet you, former strongest female of Fairy Tail." Fiana grinned and stood beside the two of them, Makarov was also sitting below them.

Erza narrowed her eyes when she heard the word 'former strongest female' but didn't think about it too much.

She was shocked that this woman actually is one of the wizard saints, and most importantly, her seat used to belong to Makarov!

Mira was also having the same thoughts as Erza.

"She's right, your underestimating the power of a God of Ishgar, even the weakest of them can defeat ten ordinary saints with a little to no trouble." Makarov stated as a mug of beer suddenly appeared on his hand as he began to drink.

Then, Makarov turned her gaze to Fiana and smile, "So you took my position little girl? Looks like your already stronger than me."

Fiana smirked but did not look at him, her eyes are focused to the match, or rather, to Natsu.

"That's right, I'm already stronger than you old-chibi. What do you think about a small spar after Natsu won?"

Makarov laughed and drank the beer in one go, "I'm already old, my back is aching every time I move, I can't fight anymore."

"Yeah right," Fiana rolled her eyes, "You can still beat a Saint with no trouble at all, if your weak, what about the others?"

Makarov laugh and walk towards the five, he stood at the center and glance at each of them.

Four were already ready to attack any given time, while their opponent still remained calm, looking at them with a smile.

Makarov then raised his hands, "I'll be referee for this fight. You can freely use your magic, but weapons are forbidden. You can do anything. but crippling, or causing severe injuries are not allowed."

"Ready..."

"...BEGIN!"
