"She's also a Dragon Slayer mage? She doesn't even get motion sickness! How can she be a Dragon Slayer mage? Is this even normal?!"
In the eastern Magnolia Forest, Natsu was hopping around, shouting loudly.
Regarding the two new friends, he had a lot of curiosity, and the biggest curiosity right now was why, if they were all Dragon Slayer mages, Wendy didn't get motion sickness.
Even just riding a carriage would make Natsu dizzy to the point of fainting, yet Wendy returned from so far away by train without any issue. This made Natsu feel extremely unfair.
"So Dragon Slayer mages can get motion sickness?"
Upon hearing Natsu's complaint, Moen realized that Dragon Slayer mages actually had this weakness. He had one at home for years, yet had never noticed.
Never heard Laxus mention it… that guy, he just endured it, right?
Moen thought to himself, grumbling. This behavior perfectly fit Laxus's character—he would never expose his weaknesses.
No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he would always appear calm and composed.
Even after being a Dragon Slayer mage for several years, the guild members only realized this weakness after Natsu arrived.
"I-I don't know either."
Faced with Natsu shouting with dissatisfaction, Wendy replied softly, seeming a bit timid.
But actually, Natsu had no ill intent; he was simply straightforward, saying whatever came to mind.
"Natsu! You idiot! Don't be so rude to newcomers!"
Seeing Wendy's slightly timid expression, Gray immediately stepped forward to defend her, confronting Natsu.
Defending Wendy was just an excuse; Gray's real purpose was to pick a fight with Natsu!
"You! You wanna fight?!"
Sure enough, after exchanging just a few words, they were ready to throw punches.
A fight breaking out! Awesome!
"Stop fighting!"
Seeing Natsu and Gray about to clash, tears started welling up in Wendy's eyes. For some reason, whenever she saw Natsu so excited or arguing with someone, she felt like crying, as if she had witnessed such scenes before.
"Don't worry, Wendy. These two are just like this. Let them fight, it's their way of interacting."
Seeing Wendy trying to intervene but unsure how to, looking on the verge of tears, Moen smiled and called her over. She needed time to get used to this.
"Is it really like that, Brother Moen? But… is it really okay for them to be like this?"
Wendy looked at Natsu and Gray, already exchanging punches, very worried they might get hurt.
"Don't be fooled by how intense it looks. They're careful; haven't you noticed they're not using magic?"
Moen patted Wendy's head, comforting the kind-hearted girl.
The fight between Natsu and Gray was purely physical—one punch, one kick. It was vigorous, but neither used magic.
They understood that roughhousing was one thing, but going too far would lead to a serious beating, something neither wanted to experience from Moen's fists.
"This won't do either, Gray, Natsu. You two should get along peacefully."
However, unlike Moen's more relaxed approach, Erza, who was gradually revealing her strength, was stricter.
Seeing Natsu and Gray tangled together, Erza decisively stepped forward. She clearly knew more about breaking up fights than Wendy.
"Bang bang!"
Two punches later, Natsu and Gray obeyed, lying on the ground with bumps forming on their heads, still faintly steaming. Wendy couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
So this is how you break up a fight?
Just knock everyone fighting to the ground, and they won't fight anymore?
Wendy felt her worldview shaken. She really didn't know how to intervene. Seeing people argue or fight made her anxious, wanting to cry, though she didn't understand why.
Looking at Erza, clad in armor and imposing, Wendy's eyes filled with admiration. She wished she were as strong as Erza.
"Wendy? Wendy!"
Seeing Wendy seemingly mesmerized, Moen quickly called her a few times.
"Uu~ What's wrong? Moen?"
Wendy came back to her senses, looking at Moen with a puzzled expression.
"This is a wrong example, don't follow it, understand? Don't follow it! Just be yourself; some things can't be forced."
Moen's expression was serious as he taught Wendy, who had a look of partial understanding.
Wendy and Erza were completely different in personality and style. With Wendy's character, forcing herself to learn from Erza would definitely be a disaster. She should walk her own path.
As the guild's little leader, Moen, who had always treated it like a training game, didn't want to see Wendy, who had a cute and gentle style, turn into someone like Erza. It wasn't that Erza lacked her own charm, but Wendy becoming like that would be too unnatural.
"Oh~ I understand now."
Wendy nodded dumbly, still unsure what she had actually understood.
Mystogan walked over, silently smiling at the scene. With Moen here, he didn't have to worry about Wendy not receiving proper care.
Although Moen was a year younger than him, he was very mature and cared for all the children in the guild.
"Jellal."
Seeing Mystogan, Wendy reflexively called out his real name.
"Shh!"
Moen and Mystogan spoke almost at the same time, and realizing her mistake, Wendy immediately covered her mouth, her large eyes filled with panic.
"Jellal? Wendy… did you just say Jellal?"
Although Wendy's voice had not been very loud and she was immediately stopped by Moen and Mystogan, Erza still keenly caught the name.
Erza no longer paid attention to the subdued Natsu and Gray. She leaned closer with a puzzled look, her gaze shifting between Wendy and Mystogan.
"Uh…"
Wendy covered her mouth, eyes wide, looking utterly bewildered.
At this moment, Wendy truly didn't know what to say. Afraid of making things worse, she simply kept covering her mouth.
"Wendy? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing Wendy so panicked she couldn't speak, Erza's first reaction was concern for her health. She didn't continue to press the issue.
Moen and Mystogan quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in the other's eyes. Neither had expected that, in such a vast world, they would meet someone in the Fairy Tail guild who knew Jellal.
On the first day at the guild, Mystogan had already realized the problem.
The way Erza looked at him carried obvious doubt, the kind of doubt one has when seeing someone familiar but not being able to be sure.
