### Chapter 4: Shun VS Mirajane
"Whoa————!!!"
Hearing **Shun**'s words, everyone in the guild was somewhat surprised. But that was Little Demon **Mirajane** of the guild!
Although **Mirajane** wasn't very old, her Satan Soul Take Over Magic made her extremely strong. Even among the adult Mages in the guild, few could match her.
**Shun** wasn't a newcomer; he had been in the Fairy Tail Guild for three months.
He knew the situation of every Mage in the guild—if not perfectly clear, then pretty close.
Since he could say such things knowing Little **Mirajane**'s strength, it was obvious that **Shun** had great confidence in his own magic.
"You brat, just you watch! I'm going to teach you a good lesson and make you understand who is the strongest in the guild!"
**Mirajane** was furious. Aside from **Laxus**, who was clearly four years older than her, none of the boys her age in the guild were her match.
Only **Erza** could fight her to a draw.
Now, this guy **Shun**, who had just learned magic, dared to challenge her authority. How could she tolerate this?
**Makarov** covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to **Shun**, "Brat, you know how formidable **Mirajane** is. Are you sure you can win? If not, you're going to get beaten up badly."
"Don't worry, Master. I'm confident I can win."
**Mirajane** and **Erza** were just like **Natsu** and **Gray** at the beginning of the story—they fought often.
During **Shun**'s time at Fairy Tail, there was a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. He often acted as a referee alongside the Master.
So, **Makarov** knew that **Shun** understood **Mirajane**'s strength.
"As long as you know what you're doing. Just don't lose too miserably."
**Shun** rolled his eyes. "Master, could you have a little faith in me?"
**Makarov** pretended not to hear. Faith? Of course he had faith, but not in **Shun**—in **Mirajane**.
**Mirajane**'s magic and magical potential marked her as a seedling for a future S-Class Mage.
**Mirajane**'s magic was Satan Soul Take Over. Yours is just taking over a little fox—a Beast Soul Take Over. How could you be **Mirajane**'s opponent?
"Place your bets! Place your bets! No more bets once the hand leaves!"
**Macao** opened the betting pool on the spot.
"**Shun** seems confident! I bet on Little **Mirajane** to win! 1000 Jewels!"
"Anyone in the junior group who dares to challenge **Mirajane** must have some skills, but I'll still bet on **Mirajane**! 1000 Jewels!"
"Little **Shun**, I'm rooting for you! But Little **Mirajane**, 1000 Jewels!"
...
**Shun** was a bit speechless. These bastards said they were rooting for him, but turned around and bet on **Mirajane** to win.
Almost everyone in the guild favored **Mirajane**, though a small portion did bet on **Shun**.
The bets weren't large; winning or losing would just mean the cost of a meal.
**Mirajane** lifted her chin and looked at **Shun**, her expression seemingly saying: *See, everyone thinks I'll win.*
Seeing Little **Mirajane**'s haughty appearance, **Shun** really wanted to spank her properly. *You little girl, just watch how Big Brother educates you in a moment.*
Soon, everyone arrived at the back of the Fairy Tail Guild. The area was spacious, with no surrounding buildings, and further back lay a huge, boundless lake.
Mages were emotional people; a disagreement could easily lead to a fight.
The guild hall couldn't withstand the destructive power of Mages, so fights were usually settled here.
For adult Mages, a fistfight without magic inside the guild might be enough to settle things, and they'd be back to drinking and chatting in a blink.
But the young ones were more fiery; if they fought, there had to be a clear winner.
**Natsu** and **Gray**, **Mirajane** and **Erza**, were frequent visitors here.
"**Shun**, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might go a little easier on you."
**Mirajane** put on a fierce expression and threatened **Shun**.
**Shun** retorted unceremoniously, "I just hope you don't cry when you lose."
"Bastard! I'll make you suffer in a moment!"
"Begin—!!"
**Makarov** raised his hand and announced the start.
"Full Body Take Over: Satan Soul!!"
**Mirajane** shouted loudly, her body emitting powerful dark magic.
Her hair stood up, her ears became long and pointed like elf ears, demon scales appeared on her arms, and her hands and feet turned into sharp claws like armor.
A powerful tail appeared behind her, and finally, a pair of demon wings spread open on her back.
"Oh, oh!"
"Can Little **Mirajane** do a Full Body Take Over now?!"
"That's amazing!"
...
The onlookers were all very surprised to see **Mirajane** transform.
Previously, **Mirajane** could only do partial take overs. A Full Body Take Over would significantly increase her strength.
Seeing **Mirajane** in Full Body Take Over, **Erza**'s expression also became serious.
She and **Mirajane** were evenly matched, so **Mirajane**'s huge improvement was most urgent for her.
**Mirajane** said proudly, "This was magic intended to deal with **Erza**, but today I'll make an exception and let you taste it first."
"Take this!"
"Dark Stream!!"
**Mirajane** raised her palm toward **Shun**, and a black magic circle appeared in front of it.
A huge dark claw emerged from the magic circle, quickly grabbing toward **Shun**'s body.
**Shun** stood still, as if he hadn't reacted at all.
"It's over!"
*Bang!*
The dark claw about to attack **Shun** suddenly vanished.
"?!"
"The magic disappeared?!"
"What happened?!"
...
Everyone was buzzing with discussion; no one had seen what happened.
Only **Makarov** saw it clearly. Just as **Mirajane**'s magic was about to touch **Shun**, **Shun** waved his left hand rapidly, destroying **Mirajane**'s magic directly .
"How is that possible?!"
