Just as his companions who were watching the fight were still amazed at the way Noah defeated Natsu with a flying kick that broke through all the flaws.
Kana has announced the result of this bet with a smile.
"Since Noah knocked Natsu down with a flying kick instead of a fist, the banker wins this bet~"
"Thank you everyone, please give me money next time~"
"What!"
"It's bad. She took advantage of the opportunity!"
"…"
Although they were somewhat reluctant, the guys who placed the bets did not do anything. After all, they had to accept the loss and the stakes were only 100 yuan.
Although the total amount of money bet by everyone was only more than 3,000 yuan, Kana was still very happy. This money was enough for her to have a drink, so she didn't have to complete the mission today.
Ever since she met Noah, Kana seemed to have been infected by him as a lazy player, and her way of playing badly seemed to have improved greatly.
Cana happily put the money away, and whispered proudly: "What's the relationship between me and Noah? Good buddy, okay, next time I'll beg Noah to use a new method to defeat him when he fights with Natsu, then, hehe~"
The drunk girl was completely unaware that her whispering to herself had attracted the attention of the other two girls.
Erza put a hand on Cana's shoulder, "Kana, it's time to pay back the wine money you owe the guild."
Seeing Erza looking at her coldly, Cana felt guilty.
As for the reason…
Two years ago, Kana accidentally drank up most of the guild's wine cellar. Makarov saw that she was a 16-year-old girl and did not have so much money to compensate, so he only asked her to compensate the principal to the guild and allowed her to pay in installments.
Only more than a year had passed, and for various reasons, Makarov had forgotten about this matter, and of course, Kana had also forgotten about it completely.
However, Erza, who appointed herself as the guild's "Disciplinary Committee", remembered Cana's "punishment" very clearly.
"Well… I have something else to do. I'll definitely do it next time, next time." Kana picked up the wine barrel and the money and turned to run away, but she saw that Mira had blocked her way without her knowing.
In name, she is the guild's hostess, but it is not an exaggeration to say that Mira's current job is the guild's housekeeper. Naturally, she also knows about Kana's past.
Being attacked from both sides, Kana had no choice but to honestly hand over the money she won as the banker in order to be let off.
Mira took the money and counted it carefully and said, "You still owe more than 5,000 for the wine. I'll give you a zero. Today, Kana, you should return the money to the guild."
"Today… today! Isn't it an installment payment?"
"Hey, it's been so long, what do you think?"
"From today, Kana, you will be the guild's receptionist for a week. Use your body to repay your debt."
Mira's gentle smile fell into Cana's eyes, but it was the smile of an evil devil.
One week's work is worth five thousand. Kana can earn more than that for just any task she completes now. This means she is working illegally for her!
Such a black heart! Isn't Mira afraid of being hung on the light bulb?
Oh, she is not afraid at all since she has the "Soul of Satan".
Cana was still trying to find an excuse to do it next time, but she saw that Erza, who was always the most disciplined, actually nodded and approved of Mira's evil behavior.
Oh no, when did these two… Cana keenly discovered a terrible problem, that is, Mira and Erza rarely quarreled recently.
You have to know that their previous relationship was a replica of Gray and Natsu. It was good enough that they didn't fight when they met.
"Come on, Cana, put on your reception maid outfit and start cleaning the bathroom."
Watching the two people approaching with malicious intent, Kana suddenly felt that the two of them might be teaming up to target her, but why?
"Wow! Noah, save me!"
Noah, who was helping Natsu up, turned his head slightly, as if he heard something.
Kana? No care.
"Noah, how did you do that? So awesome!" Natsu is worthy of being Natsu. He was dizzy just now, but in the blink of an eye he was full of energy again and pestering Noah.
It's obvious at a glance that Natsu wants to learn, but Noah can't teach him. The invincibility of the flying kick is more like a rule, and even if Noah is willing to teach, he has no way to teach it.
However, another alien force might be worth a try.
"Haki" is the power formed by the extension of will. Although it is a power system from another world, it may also be effective in the world of Ascalante.
Noah felt that he should find a time to reveal his "Armament Haki" to Makarov and listen to the thoughts of his old father in this parallel world.
The excitement soon passed, and the guild hall returned to its previous lively atmosphere, except that there was one less drunkard and one more waitress who drank secretly.
When Noah finds Makarov, Nob is there too.
What surprised Noah was that Nob came to Makarov with a commission. It seemed that he had finally waited for a task that was suitable for him and extremely challenging.
"Noah is here."
Makarov, with a frown on his face, saw Noah and threw the commission brought by Nob to him. "You come and help me persuade Nob. This mission is too dangerous for him."
Noah looked at the contents of the order.
[A group of magical beasts named "Balkan" appeared in Mount Hakobei, seriously affecting the lives and safety of the residents. Please ask the wizard to fight them.]
[Reward: 550,000]
"Balkan" is a magical beast similar to a gorilla. The powerful Balkan can use reception magic to forcibly receive humans into his body. It is a terrible magical beast.
The most important thing is that the Balkans mentioned on the order form are not one or two, but a group.
Makarov thought that if Nob dealt with a small number of Balkans, he might have a chance of winning, but if he dealt with a group of them, it would be very dangerous.
So Makarov refused Nob to accept the commission, but Nob was unwilling to give up as he had waited for several years to find a suitable task, so he pestered Makarov and asked him to agree.
The two of them just kept on being stubborn.
Looking at the two people who were unwilling to back down, Noah put down the commission form and said, "President, let Nob go."
Nob's surprise was beyond words. He thought Noah would agree more with the president's opinion, but he didn't expect him to stand on his side.
Makarov didn't say anything. Based on his understanding of Noah, this kid must have something else to say.
Noah picked up the commission again and said, "Nob, this commission is indeed very dangerous. I will go with you as your safety insurance."
"But, whether I take action or not, I will get half of the reward."
Nob agreed without thinking. What he wanted was to complete a challenging task alone. If he succeeded, it would be a great honor for him as a member of the wild tribe.
Makarov also agreed with Noah's statement. With Noah's skills, he was more than capable of dealing with the group of gorilla monsters. With his help and watching from behind, Nob's life would at least not be in danger.
The reason why Noah helped Nob was not because of Nob's request to learn boxing, but because the reward was his magic "Attachment·Animal Spirit".
Under Noah's guidance, Nob's boxing skills improved greatly, and when combined with his magic, he became even more ferocious.
But the boxing skills were taught, but the prayer commission never responded. Now it seems that it should be related to Nob's real wish.
What Nob wants is not just "boxing".
And be able to prove his own strength.
