The Universal Dragonslayer (Fairy Tail x Male Reader)

Chapter 8: Vs. Erza

     Woo hoo two parts today. I was feeling generous so I wrote two. I hope you all are enjoying the story and I hope you all have a good day.

      The scarlet haired woman laughed when she saw it was you that she would be fighting.

Erza: Here I was thinking I would have to hold back some when my opponents show up. But seeing how this is going to be an one on one against you, I just might give you all I've got.

You: A part of me was hoping I would run into you. We've never fought before and now I'm even more excited that I get to fight you. So, what do you say about skipping the small talk and getting straight to the action?

   Erza developed a malicious grin and took a stance.

Erza: Agreed. Now let's get started!

   She sprints at you full speed as she requips into a full set of armor and charges you with a massive javelin.
   You take a risk and focus your energy into your hands. As the javelin reaches your body, you cup the palms around the end of the weapon, stopping Erza in her tracks. You pushed out all the energy in your hands, breaking the javalin. But this didn't stop her attacks.
   She jumps back and pulls out a halberd and requips into a light, flower like outfit and charges you.
    You were all about brute strength, so dodging her fast attacks proved a challange. Cuts and scratches started to form on your arms. She wasn't trying to kill you but she came close to hitting vital points on your body a few times.
   Your goal was to wear her down so her attacks would slow but instead of slowing down, she got faster. You had to make a move or you would lose.
   The next strike from Erza was a horizontal slash. You throw up your forearms to bare the blunt of the strike. She slashed and the halberd stops when they hit your arms. They started to bleed but you didnt care. You grabbed the hilt of the weapon and thrusted it back twords its wielder. The end of the weapon hits Erza's stomach, causing her to reel back.
   Now was your opportunity to attack.

You: Black Dragon piercing strike!

  You thrusted your right fist straight forward causing a fast beam of magic to fire from your arm.
  The attack hit Erza's chest making her fling backwards.
    When she gained her footing, she looked you dead in the eyes and smiled.

Erza: That was smooth. But now I'm getting serious. So no more playing around.

   You charged her, fists engulfed in black flames. Before your fist reaches her, she pulled up a massive shield that blocked her whole body.
   Your fist collides with the shield, hurting your hand. This angered you.
   You rev your arm back and strike the shield again and again. Eventually cracks started to form in the metal. This pushed you to strike harder.

You: BLACK DRAGON SPIRALING FIST!

   Your hand breaks straight through the shield and hits Erza on the other side.
   With the shield broken and Erza unable to requip, you run straight for her. You get a strike off on her cheek, making you feel kinda bad.
    You backed off a little as Erza holds the spot where you hit her. You expected her to become furious with you but instead she smiled warmly and stood straight up. The look in her eyes was that of approval.

Erza: Congratulations (R/N). You pass.

You: Uh... what? Don't I need to beat you?

Erza: Nope. I'm allowed to call the match at any moment. You didnt need to beat me, but instead you needed to prove to me that you can hold your own against a powerful opponent. I rarely ever get hit in the face yet you managed to hit me. That shows me that you're ready to move on.

You: Huh, well then. That was fun. We should fight again at some point to see who would really win.
 
  You give a thumbs up. As you look at your fist, you notice it was dripping blood. Your forearm and knuckles were all bleeding.

Erza: Looks like I got carried away. Sorry about that.

You: Nah, it was my fault. One I didnt dodge and two I'm sure punching a giant metal shield over and over again wasn't the best of ideas.

Erza: Come sit on this rubble, I've got some bandages so I can get you fixed up.

   After a few minutes of Erza trying to wrap a bandage and failing, you take the wrap and show her how to wrap an arm up.

You: See? It's not that hard once you know where to start wrapping.

Erza: I'm still confused. Where does the needle go?

You: There is no needle! Why would you need a needle for a bandage! Who taught you these things?

Erza: I taught myself thank you very much. You should get going, theres an entire other trial to get to.

   Erza struggles to stand up.

You: I'm in no rush. I dont really care about winning. But you need to rest. Is there a base camp set up on the island where you can be dropped off.

Erza: Yeah. But you dont need to take me-

  Erza trips over a small piece of rubble and falls face first into the water below.

Erza: Ok fine... I could use a shoulder until I get there.

   You help Erza up and walk her out of the claustrophobic  area.
    You follow the directions Erza gives you and make the long walk to the base camp.

Erza: Why dont you care about becoming S-Class? You could easily win this.

You: Because I've never been one for titles. I think they're pointless. You call a man a peasant and he can be the most humble man you you'll meet. You call a man a king and he will believe he has all the power in the world.

Erza: Good point. The camp is just up ahead.

   You come up to a clearing and see a tent with Mirajane beside it.

Mirajane: Hey you two. Why are you here?

You: Erza got roughed up pretty good and needed a shoulder.

Erza: I requested a shoulder and you mearly put me off balance with your attacks.

Mirajane: So that means you two fought? How cute!

You: Cute?

Mirajane: Mhm, two people who are destined to be! Fighting in a test of strength to prove ones worthiness. Its compleatly romantic and adorable!

   You and Erza turn bright red and stare at Mirajane with dumbfounded looks on your faces.

You: I uh- I gotta go now. I cant let Natsu beat me. Uh, bye

Erza: Yeah, good luck. Bye bye now.

  You awkwardly speed walk away from the uncomfortable situation and start your search for the grave of Mavis Vermillion .
