Honestly, this novel is close to 50 chapters long and hasn't even gotten me a paid subscriber on Patreon. If it continues like this, I'll drop it.

"Zeros, compared to Natsu, what I'm most curious about right now is your identity. From the very beginning, you seemed to know everything, and your performance in this battle was far too calm. So, Zeros, you are definitely not an ordinary person. What exactly is your identity?"
Hearing Lucy's long string of words, Zeros immediately spread her hands and laughed awkwardly, "I'm nothing special, I'm actually a mage too!"
"Haha, I knew my guess was right! I knew Zeros, you're no ordinary person!" Lucy laughed. "Since you're also a mage, Zeros, what kind of magic do you use?"
Zeros replied, "My magic is nothing special. I'm just an ordinary mage like you who hasn't joined a guild. I can't compare to a powerful mage like Natsu!"
"Hmph, fine, I'll talk then!"
Seeing that Zeros had no intention of telling her, Lucy didn't force him. However, she didn't believe Zeros's words at all. For some reason, she felt that Zeros must possess extremely powerful magic. She even had a more absurd thought: Zeros might be stronger than Natsu, who had just demonstrated his formidable fighting prowess...
If Zeros knew what Lucy was thinking, she would surely exclaim in genuine amazement: "A woman's intuition!"
At that moment, Natsu, his feet wreathed in flames, kicked Bora again, rendering him unable to fight any longer. Like his subordinates, Bora collapsed unconscious.
However, seeing the area where Natsu and Bora were fighting, Zeros couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself, "They're supposed to be Fairy Tail mages, do they really need to go to such lengths to deal with someone like this?!"
Although Zeros's intervention prevented the wave from causing any damage to the port, the area was still badly damaged after Natsu and Bora's battle, especially under the immense destructive power of Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic.
Even some buildings nearby were significantly affected. Fortunately, the residents in the vicinity had evacuated before the battle between the two, and the important docks were not damaged, so the fishing lives of the fishermen were not affected.
It was supposed to be a crushing battle, but Natsu managed to beat him into this state. As expected of a Fairy Tail mage, seeing is believing!
Zeros didn't use time magic to repair the damaged areas. He wasn't one to clean up messes, and besides, the army stationed in nearby place was almost here. He could leave this to them.
What he think comes true.
The sound of heavy, rhythmic footsteps could be heard from not far away; the uniform sound clearly indicated a well-trained army.
"Happy! And Lucy, let's run!"
Natsu, the 'Ultimate Destroyer,' was extremely familiar with this voice, so he immediately ran over and shouted at Happy and Lucy.
However, he also noticed Zeros beside the two of them. Although he met him only once, he still remembered certain things very clearly.
"Hey, aren't you the kind guy who treated me to dinner during the day?! You should run away with me too!" Because of the dinner invitation during the day, Natsu immediately labeled Zeros as a 'kind guy', and after shouting that, he and Happy ran off first.
The way he moved so swiftly suggested that he had done this kind of escape quite often over the years.
"Let's run!"
Seeing this, Zeros smiled and said something to Lucy, then ran after Natsu and Happy.
"Hey, we didn't cause the damage, why do we have to run away too!"
Following behind Zeros, Lucy said, quite puzzled.
"Because I also hate people in the military, and besides—" Zeros turned to look at Lucy behind him, a handsome smile playing on his lips, and said, "Didn't you want to join Fairy Tail? This is a great opportunity!"
Lucy was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood, and a smile appeared on her face. "Yes!"
