Lucy lowered her head and complained weakly: "So! How could you know what I was thinking?"
No one paid attention to her complaint.
Everyone in the guild was used to her habit of complaining anytime, anywhere.
"Master, what exactly is Natsu's situation?" Gray asked hurriedly.
Makarov frowned, looking at Natsu: "With that kind of body temperature, he can drink liquor and jump around, obviously there's no major problem!"
"If his body temperature is high..."
Meeting Makarov's gaze, a smile spread across the corner of Gray's mouth: "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
"For so many years, I haven't been able to freeze Natsu into a popsicle!"
"I'm getting fired up!"
Happy's wings stiffened: "Eh? Why is everyone copying Natsu's catchphrase?"
Lucy glanced at him and said with utter powerlessness: "Isn't Natsu your best partner?"
"He's about to be frozen by Gray, aren't you worried at all?"
Happy nibbled on a small fish someone had handed him, and muttered softly: "Lucy is so dumb!"
"Gray is also a partner."
"He wants to help Natsu, why should I be worried?"
Lucy lowered her head, her whole person becoming incredibly gloomy, dark lines covering her face.
"I was despised by a cat!"
"Why do I feel like what Happy said makes so much sense?"
Because you are dumb!
A voice rang out from an unknown place, dealing secondary damage to Lucy, making her even more gloomy as she shrank into a corner drawing circles.
The temperature in the guild suddenly dropped!
Cold air rose from where Gray's hands touched the ground, rapidly spreading throughout the entire guild.
Having just experienced the high temperature brought by Natsu's outburst, it was now being cooled by the cold air Gray created.
Everyone in the guild felt incredibly refreshed.
Cana narrowed her eyes, enjoying the sudden coolness, and hummed comfortably: "So comfortable, it makes me want to copy Gray!"
"Oh!!" All the male mages in the guild suddenly got energized, all staring at Cana, screaming frantically in their hearts.
Strip quickly!
Strip quickly!
Cana normally dresses like that, if she were to copy Gray...
All the men in the guild were fired up!
Shrinking in the corner, Lucy heard this and complained softly: "There cannot be a second Gray in the guild."
He used all his magic power.
To cool Natsu down, Gray hardened his heart and used all the magic power in his body.
He slapped his hands on the ground.
Crystal clear ice spread in all directions, quickly covering every corner of the guild.
Everyone stared blankly at each other inside the ice!
Gray stood alone on the ice surface, laughing presumptuously: "Bwahahaha! Natsu! You droopy-eyed guy has finally been frozen into a popsicle by me!"
He laughed wildly and arrogantly, completely ignoring all the other guild members who were also frozen in the ice.
Suddenly!
A speck of red light bloomed inside the ice.
Flames rose.
The ice was heated from the inside and quickly melted.
"Crack!" In another spot, a small figure suddenly grew larger; the freezing ice was directly shattered by him!
Looking at that gradually enlarging figure, cold sweat slid down Gray's forehead.
"Master..."
"Bang!" The giant figure burst the ice covering the entire guild.
At the same time, in another spot, flames shot straight up into the sky, not only melting the ice but also burning a huge hole in the guild tavern.
"Natsu!"
"Gray!"
A low roar containing endless anger echoed throughout the guild tavern.
Gray looked at that huge black figure, hurriedly waving his hands: "Master, listen to me..."
"Thud!" A muffled sound.
The huge black figure raised his foot and stomped, flattening Gray onto the ground, turning him into a flat surface.
After doing this, he raised his other foot and stepped on Natsu.
The moment he stepped down, Makarov frowned.
The foot stepping on Natsu was smoking black, and a burning pain spread from the spot where he stepped on Natsu.
It hurt so much that Makarov quickly pulled back his right foot.
He thought to himself: "Natsu's fire is getting more and more abnormal!"
"To be able to make me feel pain in this state, it means his magic power has grown."
"A strange growth!"
His body quickly shrank, soon reverting to the one-meter-tall Makarov.
Glancing at the blackened bottom of his foot, Makarov's expression became incredibly solemn.
However!
Natsu, having taken Makarov's stomp, showed no changes whatsoever, let alone being turned into a flat surface by a giant's stomp.
The table was gone, so he rolled over and lay on the ground, sleeping soundly!
Seeing this situation, Makarov's anger flared up immensely.
"Na... tsu..."
"Go to work!"
His right hand quickly grew large, grabbed the small Natsu, and threw him straight out.
Furious!
He was truly too furious!
Being completely fine after getting stomped on was one thing, but sleeping!
How could he tolerate such a thing?
Could he let Natsu continue to lie there?
"Natsu!" Seeing Natsu thrown out, as his ironclad partner, Lucy hurriedly chased after him.
She subconsciously felt that Natsu's current situation was somewhat related to her.
When she first met Natsu at the port, he was full of youthful vigor and very driven in everything he faced.
After bringing her back to the guild, he inexplicably turned into this.
She was both worried and afraid.
Lucy felt that the energetic Natsu was better!
