"Is he out of stamina?"
As his opponent, Makarov was the first to notice, raising an eyebrow.
But on second thought, this was normal.
Although his magic power and physical fitness surpassed his peers, he was still a child after all.
He couldn't sustain high-intensity battles for a long time.
In fact, Makarov was a little surprised that he could fight to this extent.
Although he hadn't carefully felt Rayn's magic nature, from his current performance, the enhancement to his body was obviously stronger than other people's magic.
As a Holder-type wizard, this kind of magic nature was a bit strange.
But then again.
As a dragon-summoning wizard, it seemed a bit normal.
But no matter what, Makarov also understood that it was time to end the battle.
"It's over!"
Grabbing Rayn as he got close, Makarov shouted in a low voice at the moment when he became sluggish due to fatigue.
A sandbag-sized fist suddenly broke through to Rayn's front, carrying a stream of air.
His peripheral vision suddenly saw a black shadow approaching quickly.
"What!?"
It was Rayn's fist, but that speed was not something a tired person could throw.
At the same time, the fist he threw landed on a palm, five fingers holding it tightly.
The powerful force made Makarov unable to break free immediately.
And his empty hand was too late to defend.
"I fell for it!?"
At this point, how could he not know that he had been tricked? He had miscalculated Rayn's endurance.
"Forget it, I'll just take a punch."
Makarov had to prepare to take this punch.
But he was extremely happy in his heart.
Even if he suppressed his own strength and fought at the same level.
But Rayn, as a novice who had only received combat training for half a month, could actually hit him.
For Makarov, this kind of high-quality guild member.
Let alone one punch, he could accept even a hundred punches.
His thoughts were like lightning, and that fist also landed on his face.
But it was only a 'land'. There was no imagined force at all.
"…Master, you taught me this on the first day of training. An apparent opening is not necessarily an opening."
Letting go of Makarov's fist, Rayn stood up and said, breathing heavily.
A lot of sweat flowed like rain, soaking his clothes and sticking to his body.
His strong chest heaved up and down.
The battle was not long, but in a state of full exertion, it was still inevitably tiring.
But his eyes were extremely bright at this time, and a smile from the heart appeared on his lips.
Compared to the fierce battle before, it was simply full of a sense of incongruity.
"Heh, looks like I'm getting old too."
Makarov was stunned, then shook his head and laughed.
He hadn't retired from the front line yet, but he rarely fought indeed.
So much so that he was careless twice in front of Rayn.
However, Makarov felt that the first time was indeed carelessness.
This time, even in the past, he couldn't have dodged it.
After all, who would have thought that this kid would improve so much.
Both magic power and physical fitness.
"You didn't say you were going to punch me?"
As he spoke, Makarov had already dispelled the giant magic.
"I already did."
"Hmm?"
A puzzled gaze fell on Rayn. The force of that punch just now didn't seem like hitting someone.
"Me punching you was just a goal or an idea. It's not like I would really punch you."
Rayn looked strangely at Makarov, who was a little strange because he wasn't hit.
As he said this, Rayn heard a light snort in his mind.
It was obvious that Ddraig was a little dissatisfied with this.
Rayn directly pretended not to hear it.
Not to mention that Makarov was his savior and also guided his training.
Just his short old man appearance, Rayn couldn't bear to do it.
Of course, this was because Makarov was not one of those evil people.
If it were those malicious old people in his previous life, it wouldn't be just a punch.
"Of course, if you really want to be beaten, you should find someone else."
Then Rayn looked at Kanna and Porlyusica who were watching from not far away.
"Yeah!"
With a cheerful smile on his face, Rayn clenched his fist and swung it up, making a clean and crisp sound.
The sunlight fell on the white fairy icon on the back of his hand, which was sticky with sweat, and it shone with a dazzling light.
The lines behind it were like a tail, or like a fairy running.
"Rayn!"
Kanna ran towards Rayn with her small legs.
Her slightly lowered head posture, and the white jade-like horns on her head, always gave Rayn the feeling that he would be pierced.
Before Kanna pounced on him, Rayn directly reached out and held her head.
A strong impact directly made Rayn lie on the ground, looking up at the sky.
Even in human form, Kanna still had super strength.
Normally, Rayn could still block this force.
But now that the battle was over, he couldn't squeeze out any strength at all.
Makarov's prediction was not too wrong.
Rayn's stamina was indeed consumed a lot. When he blocked the last punch, he had almost consumed all his strength.
That was because Makarov was thinking of ending the battle, and he restrained a lot of strength at the last moment.
Otherwise, the result would be completely opposite.
"So this is how a horse girl's trainer gets hit? Then what am I? A moe dragon's trainer?"
Perhaps because of the half a month of tension, Rayn's thoughts became a little uncontrollable.
"Rayn, when are we going to play too!?"
Kanna's expressionless face appeared above, covering the sky. Her tone was a bit enthusiastic.
"Haha, that'll have to wait for a while."
Reaching out and pinching her chubby face, the smooth feeling made Rayn say with a smile.
The play Kanna was talking about was not the sand and mud that ordinary children play with.
It was physical activity. And for a dragon, simple physical activity.
It was not something that the current Rayn could compare to.
Just one hit, and he might have to go see his parents in the underworld.
"Alright."
Kanna's tone was slightly regretful, but she also knew that Rayn couldn't 'play' with her now, so she didn't continue to pester him.
Then she also put her hands on Rayn's face and began to knead it like before.
"Still in a daze? Can't you take it after losing to a child?"
Coming to Makarov's side, Porlyusica looked at the two in front of her, her tone still as cold as usual.
"Not at all. I just feel very lucky to have found such a good child."
Makarov shook his head gently. When he turned his head, his face was full of a wide smile.
"Fairy Tail will not decline in my generation!"
"You look silly."
Glancing at that smile, Porlyusica said without hesitation.
However, as a former companion, she knew about the worries that Makarov had never told anyone else.
In the past, among the guild members, only Gildarts could support Fairy Tail.
Laxus had good talent, but his personality was gradually becoming naughty.
Wakaba and Macao had some qualifications, and they were enough to become the pillars of an ordinary wizard guild.
But in the guild of Fairy Tail, it was a bit difficult to support.
For a time, Fairy Tail felt a bit like there was a gap between the old and the new.
So much so that Makarov's hair fell out from anxiety, becoming the current situation.
But now, in the new generation, there was another Rayn.
Except for being a bit aggressive in battle, he didn't have many shortcomings.
This made Makarov feel as if he hadn't let down the first and second generation.
