"My words, of course it is Hobbit!"
Not long after the announcement of the S-rank wizard upgrade exam, Naz raised his head and yelled.
"Apart from Hobbit, who else is suitable to be my partner?"
"Love!" Hobby also raised a hand full of fighting spirit.
"I will definitely make Naz an S-rank Sorcerer!"
"Is it that easy?" Lucy wasn't very optimistic about Naz.
"This time, there is Noah in the S-rank wizard promotion exam."
"Yes." Wendy also rarely expressed her own opinion.
"Brother Noah is the best, and he will definitely become an S-rank Sorcerer."
"That's not necessarily." Gray glanced at Noah and grinned.
"The content of the exam is not necessarily fighting, even if it is fighting, we will not easily admit defeat!"
"That's right!" Elfman put on a perfect posture to show his muscles.
"A man shouldn't give up before the duel!"
"Rather, I will never lose!" Naz pointed to Noah, who was sitting on the side with an innocent look, and issued a declaration.
"Noah, wait for me!"
After speaking, Naz didn't say anything any more, and ran straight out the door.
"Now that it has been decided, then you can't waste time, and go practice quickly!"
"Love!" Hobbit flew away without any hesitation, and together with Naz, disappeared in the direction of the gate in a blink of an eye.
"That idiot." Gray looked contemptuously.
"There is not much time left until the S-rank Sorcerer upgrade exam. How much strength can the practice increase at this time? If you break your body then you will suffer!"
"Well, this is Naz's style." Noah smiled.
"If he is allowed to sit idly in the guild and at home, then his state may be weakened instead."
"That's true." Lucy couldn't help but smile, and then cast her curious eyes on Noah.
"Then, Noah, has your partner been decided?"
"Does that still need to be said?" Gray asked knowingly.
"Since the S-rank wizard cannot be selected as a partner for the S-rank wizard upgrade exam, without Mira, Noah's partner must be Lisana, right?"
"Ahaha..." Wendy smiled in agreement.
"After all, it's a fiancée."
However, just when everyone thought that Noah's partner was Lisana, Noah shrugged.
"It's a pity, you guessed wrong, my partner is not Lisana."
"It's not Lisana?" Wendy, Lucy, Gray and others were stunned.
Obviously, no one thought of this possibility.
"What's the matter?" Noah asked strangely.
"Is it weird not to team up with Lisana?"
"Yes, yes." Lisana, who was sitting next to Noah, also protested.
"It's not necessarily that they can only be Noah's brother's partner, right?"
"But... But, is this too weird?" Lucy said unexpectedly.
"Never mind Noah, but Lisana doesn't want to be Noah's partner?"
"Never mind what is called Noah?" Lisana puffed her cheeks and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't make it seem like I can't live without Brother Noah?"
Lisana, who said such a sentence, stuck to Noah's side all the time, she didn't want to leave at all, she didn't have any convincing power at all.
Then, Elfman added such a sentence, revealing Lisana's bottom.
"Lisana originally wanted to be Noah's partner. It was me, a man who begged her for a long time, and she reluctantly agreed to my partner."
Hearing this sentence, everyone was suddenly shocked.
"Brother Elf!" Lisana glared at Elfman angrily.
"Why are you exposing me?!"
"What is debunking?" Elfman said naturally.
"A man should be upright!"
"But I'm not a man!" Lisana almost went crazy.
Upon seeing this, everyone smiled knowingly, and then they all reacted.
"In other words, Lisana will become Elfman's partner, right?" Lucy looked at Noah curiously.
"Then, Noah, has your partner been decided?"
"En." Noah nodded, then turned his gaze to Wendy who was sitting on the other side of him, stretched out his hand, and put it on Wendy's head.
"My partner decided it was Wendy!"
This time, let alone Lucy and Gray, even Lisana and Elfman were surprised.
"Me?" Wendy couldn't help but stunned. When she reacted, her pair of eyes opened wide and panicked.
Obviously, Wendy never thought that Noah would choose to let herself be his partner.
"What?" Noah blinked at Wendy.
"Wendy, don't you want to be my partner?"
"Of course not!" Wendy replied without even thinking about it, but after a while, she lowered her head and pointed her fingers at each other.
"However, I am not as good as everyone, and I can't help Brother Noah at all."
"You are wrong about that, Wendy." Noah patted Wendy's head and said.
"You are the Dragon Slayer Sorcerer. Even if the current combat power is not guaranteed, your "Dragon Slayer Magic" is genuine and can produce assistance in all aspects, and the most important thing I lack is combat power. You have to come. If you assist me, I will feel at ease a lot."
"Really...really?" Wendy's expression suddenly became excited as if it had rained.
"I understand, I will definitely try my best to help Brother Noah!"
"It's good!" Noah rubbed Wendy's head like a fond, causing Wendy to squeeze a little shyly, but there was no reluctance at all, but an expression of enjoyment was revealed.
"It's great..." Lisanna looked at her with envy and hatred.
"I also want to be with Brother Noah..."
"Wait, Lisana!" Elfman protested immediately.
"You have already promised my partner, but the man has to say it!"
"So, I'm not a man." Lisana felt weak.
"Well, I really shouldn't have seen that Brother Alf can't find a partner, it's too pitiful, and he agreed to it in a moment of relentlessness."
Hearing this, everyone laughed out loud.
Seeing all the friends with happy smiles, Noah also smiled, but cast his gaze to the outside of the gate and to the sky outside.
"Sirius Island?"
For Noah, Sirius Island is not just a holy place for "Fairy Tail", but also a resting place for the first president, it is also a turning point in this lifetime.
It was on Sirius Island that Noah encountered "World Fragments" for the first time, met the first president Mebis, and since then embarked on a journey in various worlds.
Therefore, Sirius Island is a very special place for Noah.
However, when he thinks of the island like a paradise, Noah feels uneasy for a while.
"En?" Lisana said strangely, who noticed Noah's wrong.
"Brother Noah, what's the matter with you?"
Lisana's voice directed the eyes of everyone present to Noah.
"What's the matter?" Gray teased deliberately.
"Are you still nervous?"
"Nervous?" Lucy waved again and again as if being amused.
"How could Noah be nervous? This time, the person who is most likely to pass the S-rank wizard upgrade exam is Noah?"
"Even a man will be nervous." Elfman said solemnly.
"It will be nervous, it proves that Noah is a man."
"What's the matter?" Noah shook his head dumbfoundedly. After hesitating for a while, he frankly told what was in his mind.
"I don't know why, I always feel that something will happen in the S-rank wizard upgrade exam this time."
"Something will happen?" Everyone looked at each other suddenly.
"You think too much, right?" Gray patted Noah on the shoulder.
"Sirius Island is the holy land of our guild. Except the people in our guild, no one knows how to get to Sirius Island. Not to mention that not only you are here for this exam, but the president, Elsa, and Mira is also there, even Kildas and Laxus are there, what can happen?"
"That's right." Wendy said in a soft voice, too.
"Brother Noah, don't worry."
"Really?" Noah nodded casually.
"I hope so..."
The careless Noah didn't notice that Karna, who was rarely holding a wine bottle or barrel, was looking at him, her eyes gleaming.
