Chapter 95: Rhodes’s Rules
Natsu was overjoyed. He couldn't remember when it started, but Laxus had been spending less and less time at the guild, making it impossible to find him.
Even when Laxus did come to the guild, he always stayed on the second floor, completely ignoring Natsu's challenges.
Today, he finally caught him—and Laxus even agreed!
"Alright, let's begin! I'm all fired up!" Natsu turned and started walking away.
Evergreen snapped her folding fan shut with a "clap," pointing at Natsu's back as she asked:
"What are you doing? Running away before the fight even starts? Do you realize how strong Laxus is? Was your challenge just empty words because you're too afraid to fight?"
"Huh?" Natsu turned his head, puzzled. "What are you talking about? Shouldn't we go to the backyard for a duel?"
Bickslow was confused. "Since when did the guild have such a rule?"
His peculiar dolls fluttered around him, repeating, "Since when? Since when? Rules? Rules..."
Rhodes massaged his temples. "This guy is so noisy, and his guild mark is actually on his tongue..."
Mira explained, "That's Bickslow's Possession Magic. He controls those dolls to fight. Usually, opponents are defeated before they even get close."
