Night time…

He walked through the animal paths in Magnolia forest relying on his distant memories as the only guide . He kept walking for about 10 or so minutes until he finally came upon the river coast next to the small river he remembered .

Even in that somber darkness, the river still flows as calmly as it did 4 years ago . The light and crisp sound of flowing water entered his ears and soothed his heart .

Standing on the river coast, he took in the scenery of this familiar river . In his mind, memories of how he had trained magic control and sword techniques flashed through his mind . He also recalled the days he spent training himself while traveling around Magnolia .

Noah may very well be an alien . He was born with the appearance and cognizance of a 10-year-old . In other words, he looks to be 17 years old but in fact, he had actually lived only 7 years in this world . He spent almost all his 7 years on improving and strengthening himself .

In a way, these 7 years had been the most significant and dry period of his life . He trained and trained but he still belongs to a family, he forged himself but he also didn’t forget to find those he could call his comrades . Even if he were to be given a second chance, he wouldn’t have it any other way, he does not regret doing what he did up to this point .

Immersed in his own thoughts, he soon heard multiple footsteps and he returned to the present .

“Ah! You really are here!”

He heard a perky voice and sure enough, from within the woods came the 3 girls that he used to share this secret training location with .

Like how he used to came here to train with them, Mira, Erza, and Lisanna walked to his side while leaving audible footsteps .

“Why are you hiding here all alone”

Mira crossed her arms and she had a teasing grin on her face .

“Could it be that you’re shy after being away from the guild for so long?”

“There are a lot of newbies that joined during the past 4 years and they are all very curious about Noah Nii-san . ”

Lisanna assertively grabbed one of his arms while beaming at him .

“When I told them that Noah Nii-san is on par with Mira and Erza in the past, they just couldn’t seem to believe what I said . ”

“Actually, I think most of them already knew, they just didn’t voice it out . ”

Erza chuckled .

“I believe most of them saw how Noah effortlessly thwarted the combined attacks Mira and I did . ”

He listened to his childhood friends throwing around the conversation with all the tone they used to have preserved, he heartily laughed at the thought .

“I see, the guild had been quite jovial during the past 4 years . ”

“Noah Nii-san, Mira and Erza are no longer the girls you knew in the past, you know!”

Lisanna grinned in a mysterious manner before surprising him with a revelation .

“You should know that Mira and Erza are already S rank magicians now!”

“S-Class magicians?”

He’s really shocked by this, he turned towards the two girls with an astonished expression on his face .

“You girls passed the S-Class magician test?”

“It happened about 2 years after you went on training . I was chosen by the guild master to participate in the S class promotion exam . ”

Erza replied with a slight tinge of nostalgia in her words .

“A lot of stuff happened and I almost gave up but I still managed to pull through barely and became someone who passed the exam and got the promotion . ”

“Although I hate to admit it, I only passed the promotion exam a year after she did . ”

Mira pouted .

“In other words, I passed the exam just a year ago . ”

“Erza passed the S class promotion exam at an age of 15 that year, she stirred up a bit of a commotion due to it and became the youngest S-Class magician in Fairy Tail!”

Lisanna chirped .

“Mira-nee was late by a year but she’s still pretty impressive to attain S-Class magician status at an age of 16 where not many before her had done so . Noah Nii-san, you’re really far behind them ya know!”

Listening to them, his astonishment slowly faded and looking at how the two girls are acting like it’s only a matter of course, he felt a good amount of respect for his childhood friends’ achievements .

He’s not sure about how the other guild does their exams but he is pretty sure the promotions exams of Fairy Tail are done in such a way that the exact circumstances change each year so that it is hard to expect what is going to happen next time .

However, before one can even participate in the promotion exam, one must have a certain amount of strength and experience . The experience here refers to more than just tenure in Fairy Tail, it’s nigh impossible for a newbie to enter the exam the exact same year he joined the guild, the basic requirement is around 1 or 2 years tenure, it also depends on how active a member is before the exam and the abilities they exhibit based on the jobs they did and how they went about doing it .

In summary, the experience is only something for the guild master to see and understand that the prospective candidate has the bare minimum required to join a promotion exam .

Only those who are active and has the required amount of strength can enter into the guild master’s consideration . Erza joined the promotion exam when she was 15 years old and Mira did the same thing when she was 16 years old . This goes to show that the two girls put in a lot of effort so that they can participate in the S class promotion exam, at such a tender young age even .

His adoptive brother, the genius that shocked Gildarts, no pun intended, even he only became an S-Class magician at the age of 17 .

Mira and Erza are earlier in regards to S class attainment, it isn’t odd that Lisanna sounded proud of what the girls had got going on for them .

“You girls are too sneaky aren’t you?”

Noah felt slightly unamused .

“You girls came over to call on me many times in the past 4 years and none of you even mentioned such a thing to me?”

Mira, Lisanna, and Erza all laughed out loud at the same time . Judging by how they behaved, their omission seemed to be of a deliberate nature, he could do nothing but bitterly laugh .

“Well, how about you?”

Mira licked her lips and the eyes she used to look at him shone brightly .

“Now that you are back, this means that your [Crush] mastery is at a level that wouldn’t cause a disaster right?”

Lisanna and Erza’s eyes shone brightly as well, it seems these girls are very interested in this topic .

Noah got back at them by feigning high and mighty .

“You wanna know? Well, that’s for me to know and you to find out!”

Naturally, Mira and Erza isn’t pleased with his answer . Lisanna seemed to have remembered something before whispering into his ear while blushing .

“Noah Nii-san isn’t going to strip us naked with [Crush] again right?”

Noah almost planted his face in the ground after hearing her, he rolled his eyes at Lisanna who is giggling non-stop .

He seemed to have returned to his childhood on this night . The four of them stayed at their secret base and the sound of laughter and ball busting never stopped coming .
