If it was a magical beast, she might stand a chance. If it was another candidate, it would be a nightmare.
A figure emerged from the jungle.
Cana's heart sank.
The person wore a yellow T-shirt, had yellow hair, wore headphones, hands in pockets, and a nonchalant expression.
"Laxus?" Cana's eyes widened. The worst-case scenario.
"Huh? It's you, Cana. Looks like your S-class exam ends here," Laxus said, hands still in his pockets.
He didn't seem to intend to take them out.
"Just surrender; it'll save you from getting hurt."
Humiliated by Laxus's emotionless words, Cana thought, "Are you kidding me? Even you aren't invincible."
"Sun's Flare!" A card flew towards Laxus, flames erupting.
"Tch, really," Laxus shook his head, took his right hand out of his pocket, and casually swatted the flaming card away.
Cana's eyes widened. "Is the gap really this big?" Before she could react, she felt intense pain in her abdomen.
Cana gasped as golden lightning dissipated, and Laxus's fist connected with her abdomen.
"Is this the end?" An image of a man flashed through her mind before darkness consumed her.
"Bang~" Cana's unconscious body fell to the ground.
Laxus shook his head. "S-class is too early for you. Keep trying," He frowned. "Why did I say that?"
He chuckled, looking at the sky. "Grandpa, clean this up," He pointed at Cana and left.
Meanwhile, Finn, slacking off, encountered Erza and Mirajane.
"You two? Aren't you fighting? Should I wait?" Finn saw them together and thought they were about to fight. He sat on a rock to wait.
Mirajane smiled. "No need to wait. We won't fight. Our target is you."
"Huh? You're teaming up?" Finn was surprised.
"No choice. Since you're our target, let's see what you've got. I won't go easy," Finn jumped off the rock, looking serious.
"That suits me fine. Take Over: Satan Soul!" A flash of light, and Demon Mirajane appeared.
"Mirajane, be careful. Finn's strong," Erza said, knowing Finn's strength from their missions.
"I know. Don't hold back," Mirajane flew towards Finn.
"Requip: The Knight"
"Good," Finn crouched, then jumped, creating dust. He dodged Mirajane's claw and punched her in the stomach, sending her flying.
Erza, in Heaven's Wheel Armor, floated in the air, magic swords circling her.
The swords flew towards Finn.
Finn dodged them.
"Erza, not bad," Finn praised her and charged.
"Requip: Ryūjin Jakka." Finn drew a sword—Ryūjin Jakka, kept in his Requip space. He'd learned Requip from Erza.
"Fast!" Erza was surprised but had no time to react. Finn was before her.
Ryūjin Jakka flashed. The blade pressure enveloped Erza.
"Ah!!" Erza screamed as Finn's attack shattered her armor.
Finn blushed, turning away.
"What are you looking at? Die!!" Mirajane appeared behind Finn.
Her hands were covered in black magic. "Dark Spark." Energy balls exploded on Finn.
Smoke and fire obscured Finn.
"Ouch," Finn waved away the smoke, punching Mirajane. She was knocked to the ground, cracking the earth.
Erza got up, her armor broken. A light flashed. "Requip: Giant Armor."
She wore yellow armor and a spear, "Holy Breaker." Her right arm was massive.
Seeing Mirajane in danger, Erza threw the spear.
Finn dodged it.
"Erza, are you trying to kill me?"
"That's not enough to kill you," Erza charged.
Mirajane got up, a black energy ball forming on her hand.
She and Erza attacked Finn from both sides.
Finn leaned back, deflecting their punches towards their faces.
"Bang—bang—" Erza punched Mirajane, and Mirajane punched Erza. Their faces swelled. Finn chuckled. Two against one?
He grabbed their hands.
Erza remembered Finn's attacks during missions.
"Is he…?" She was thrown into the air.
Finn didn't throw them hard, only spinning them before tossing them away. They crashed into trees.
"Erza! Don't get in the way!" Mirajane yelled.
"I should say the same, Mirajane! Why did I team up with you?" Erza rubbed her arm.
"You're just getting in the way!"
"Skinny girl, what did you say?"
"I'll make you cry!!"
Finn shook his head. Arguing was dangerous.
"Requip: Black Wing Armor" Erza's armor changed, and she had beast ears.
"Armor that increases speed?" Finn muttered.
Erza's speed increased. She had two short swords and was before Finn. He blocked her attacks.
Sparks flew. Finn coated Ryūjin Jakka with flames, increasing its power. He swung it, knocking Erza away.
Erza slowly got up, her hands trembling and scorched.
"Damn it. You have to fight Finn to understand how strong he is," Erza knew Finn hadn't used his full power.
The overwhelming flames that could burn everything—Finn hadn't used them yet.
"Not bad, Erza. But you're not enough," Finn smiled.
Erza smiled slightly. "Who says it's just me?"
"Huh?" Finn turned to see Mirajane in the air, gathering dark magic.
"Soul Extinguisher!!" Immense dark magic erupted, filling Finn's vision with darkness.
On the Fairy Tail ship, the magic crystals monitoring the island were filled with static.
"Huh? The magic is interfering?" Makarov pondered.
"Whew…whew, did I get him?" Mirajane panted.
Erza approached. "Even Finn would be hurt by that."
"Who knows?" Mirajane shook her head. She hadn't seen Finn's full strength, but his martial arts were overwhelming.
"I wonder where he gets his strength," Erza rubbed her wrist, which ached from their clash.
Few people could match Finn's martial arts power. If they could, the world wouldn't be dominated by mages. Most people are ordinary. They can only improve through martial arts. Few mercenary guilds could truly fight mages.
