Challenging Ur

Ur looked at the kids in front of her and said, " Aren't you kids a bit young to be wandering inside a forest? You kids must be lost right? Tell me where you got lost and maybe we can find your parents."

John and Cana then refuted by showing their guild marks and saying.

"We're not lost kids, we are mages from the Fairy tail guild. We heard that there is a strong mage that is a wizard saint candidate living here."

"Are you the strongest mage around here?" John asked.

Ur smiled looking at their guild marks and said.

"Well, If there are no other mages around, then I should be the strongest wizard in the area. As for being as strong as a wizard saint, I haven't fought a wizard saint yet so I don't know."

Lyon who was on the side said. "I'm sure if Ur-Sensei and a wizard saint fought, Ur-Sensei would win."

He said with great conviction as if it would really happen.

"Is there any sense in saying that, even without you saying anything, Ur-Sensei will surely win." Gray said.

"You can't say that, after all, I haven't fought a wizard saint yet."

Although she said that trying to be humble, the confident smile and light in her eyes betrayed her words.

"So kids from Fairy tail, why did you come to this place to look for a strong mage?" She asked.

"I want to challenge you, to see the gap between myself and a wizard saint candidate."

John answered, his eyes radiating strong battle intent.

Apart from saving the mother and daughter from the tragedy that was about to happen, the other reason why John is here was to see how strong he is now.

Although he is Mid-B-rank Mage, that was three months ago, he wants to see how strong he is now.

Lyon's loud voice then interrupted his thinking.

"Who do you think you are? You can just challenge Ur-Sensei just because you wanted to?"

John retorted with a smile.

"You might not know me, but I'm surely stronger than you."

"How can you be so sure of th-"

He staggered backward as he felt a strong pressure on him, looking at John, no, what Lyon saw is something else.

He saw a big wyvern in front of him, breathing on his neck, Lyon shivered in fear, after all, he was just a kid, though a bit crazy, still a kid.

He never experienced something so terrifying in his entire life, that entire life being 9 years.

Hum~

A soft hum sounded and Lyon saw a purple Ice rose grew from the ground and entangled the wyvern, then the whole scene shattered.

Only then did he realize that he was sitting on the ground with his whole body covered with sweat.

Lyon looked up to see Ur and John staring at each other but there were no wyverns or purple roses this time.

At this time Gray helped Lyon up and asked.

"What happened, Lyon?"

Lyon gasped for breath as he answered.

"When I was talking Huff* to that kid just now Huff* he suddenly turned into a wyvern."

"A wyvern? That's impossible, he's clearly human!"

At this moment, Ur is looking at John with sternness in her eyes, as a cold aura gushed out from her body.

"Don't you think you are a bit rude kid? Scaring my students in front of me, you got some guts, kid."

"Your challenge, I'll accept it, and teach you some manners if your elder does not want to."

After saying that she walked towards the forest, while John and the others followed.

Following John, Cana asked with a bit of worry.

"John isn't our final goal recruiting her, I think Miss Ur was right, your acting rude earlier."

"There's nothing I can do, she'll just keep treating me like a child if I don't do something else, how could I invite her to the guild if she treats me as a child?"

"We're here."

A soft voice interrupted them.

What's presented in front of them is a large clearing inside the forest, with thick snow piled up on the ground without any trace of being trampled upon.

Ur went to the left-most part of the clearing and in tacit understanding, John went to the right-most part of the clearing.

A voice suddenly sounded behind Cana, Gray, and Lyon.

"This kid is challenging others again, I wonder where he learned that from, to anger the opponent so that he/she will accept the challenge."

Gray and Lyon were startled and looked back to see Sebastian sitting on a chair while drinking tea, Cana just looked at this with a blank eye and walk to Sebastian, and said.

"Have any extra chairs?"

Sebastian just waved his hand and then three chairs appeared beside him along with three more cups at the table that suddenly appeared.

But instead of tea, inside the cups are hot chocolate, good for the body in the winter season.
