------------------------------------------------
The day after Makarov went to Clover Town for the regular meeting.
Little Goku didn't follow Makarov's suggestion to wander around town; for him, that was just a waste of time.
Having just learned the Moves of Giant Magic from Makarov, he preferred to spend more time familiarizing himself with them.
So while the guild Mages were drinking and bragging in the hall, Little Goku was still practicing various Moves of Giant Magic in the open space behind the guild.
However, he hadn't practiced for long when he saw Mirajane running over.
"Goku, Goku, come over here for a second!"
"What's wrong, Sister Mirajane?"
Little Goku retracted his enlarged right foot and arrived beside Mirajane in a flash.
Mirajane leaned down and asked Little Goku, "Goku, there's a very difficult mission right now. I wonder if you'd like to take it?"
The Master had already told her about Little Goku's strength before leaving, and even asked her to help filter out a few suitable missions for Little Goku to choose from when he returned.
But today, the guild's strongest female Mage, Erza, came back and invited Natsu and Gray to team up to handle a very thorny matter.
Normally, with Erza's strength, she could easily solve even S-Rank missions alone.
For something to make Erza feel it was thorny and even invite Natsu and Gray, the two Mages closest to S-Rank, to help...
One could see the severity of this matter.
So she thought of Little Goku, who already possessed S-Rank strength.
On one hand, Little Goku's strength was great enough that joining the team would definitely be a big help.
On the other hand, Erza was experienced in missions, and it would be very safe for Little Goku to follow Erza for his first mission.
Of course, the most important point was that the destructive power of Erza, Natsu, and Gray was too great.
If things went wrong, they might directly destroy a whole city.
Little Goku's ki magic could repair destroyed cities, which could be considered a slight reduction in the guild's financial burden.
She believed that even if the Master were here, he would make the same decision as her.
"I'll take it!"
Little Goku agreed without a second thought.
Grandpa Makarov told him that if he wanted to improve his magic strength, he had to do missions, do missions, do missions, and fight, fight, fight.
Firmly advance toward his magic path, fearless and moving forward bravely!
And this also happened to coincide with his martial arts philosophy.
Seeing Little Goku agree, Mirajane led him back to the guild while explaining the general situation.
As soon as he entered the guild, Little Goku noticed that the atmosphere was very different from usual.
Although he was only in the guild during meals, he knew that the guild was usually noisy or rowdy.
But today, everyone was exceptionally "harmonious."
Even Natsu and Gray, who got along the least, were hugging each other, looking like they had a great relationship.
All of this stemmed from the female Mage standing in the center of the guild, who had long scarlet hair, wore hard armor, and had an exceptionally powerful aura.
Little Goku knew she must be the S-Class Mage Erza Scarlet that Mirajane had mentioned.
"She feels very strong. I hope she'll be willing to spar with me after the mission is over."
Sister Mirajane said that to challenge the Master, one must first become an S-Class Mage, but she didn't say what conditions were needed to challenge an S-Class Mage.
As long as the S-Class Mage themselves was willing, it would be fine.
"Erza, this is Little Goku. He's willing to join the team and help."
Mirajane introduced Little Goku to Erza.
Seeing Little Goku come over, Erza knelt down and pulled him into a hug.
Little Goku's forehead collided with the hard armor on Erza's chest with a "thud," making the eyes of the other Mages twitch.
"I heard you can lift a hundred-ton giant log for training and can even repair the damaged hall. It's great to have you join this mission!"
"You're welcome. After the mission is over, can we spar?"
Erza let go, and Little Goku looked up to ask.
Hearing Little Goku challenge Erza, everyone was suddenly in an uproar, secretly giving him a thumbs up.
In their view, daring to challenge Erza was truly brave.
Although they didn't deny that Little Goku might become an S-Class Mage or even a Wizard Saint in the future...
But having just learned Giant Magic, he was definitely no match for Erza yet.
One must know that although Erza was an S-Class Mage, she was among the very powerful ones within that rank.
She was not comparable to the S-Class Mages of those ordinary guilds outside.
"And me!"
Natsu also stepped forward at this time.
"Erza, fight me when we get back!"
"Hey, don't be impulsive. Do you want to die?"
Gray quickly pulled Natsu back. Little Goku had just joined the guild and didn't understand Erza's power, which he could understand.
But Natsu and he had been beaten by Erza since they were kids, and they were almost insta-killed every time.
"I'm different from before. I'm confident I can win!"
Natsu was covered in fire, his face full of confidence.
Erza smiled slightly: "Okay, I accept your challenge. Gray, do you want to as well?"
"Forget it, I don't want to be beaten up."
Gray waved his hands quickly. Compared to a brute like Natsu, he felt he was relatively rational.
He definitely wouldn't back down from a duel with Natsu, but with Erza, forget it.
"Alright, then go back and prepare. Meet at Magnolia Station in one hour!"
"Prepare what?"
Returning to the boys' dormitory with Gray, he looked at various stored food, potions, and magic items in his box, as well as a large amount of Galleons.
He found that he didn't seem to have anything special to prepare.
"Oh right, flying nimbus!"
After thinking for a bit, he went back to his own World, brought flying nimbus over, and temporarily put it in the box.
flying nimbus had its own thoughts and was not an item, so every time he finished using it, he would send it back to his own World to let it play freely.
He would only go and get it when needed.
If this mission required flying, he could ride flying nimbus. Although there were flying brooms in the box, he didn't like riding them.
Following Gray to Magnolia Station, Little Goku found that Natsu, Happy, and Lucy had already arrived.
Natsu lived in a small log cabin he built himself in the East Forest and didn't live in the dormitory; Lucy lived in a rented house in Magnolia.
They had already teamed up to complete two missions before.
Not long after, Erza also arrived, except she was dragging a whole cart of dozens of suitcases filled with clothes.
"Sister Mirajane asked me to come along."
Seeing Erza arrive, Lucy hurried up to explain.
Originally, she wasn't part of this mission since her strength wasn't that great, but Mirajane still asked her to help.
Mainly, she wanted her to watch Natsu and Gray so they wouldn't start fighting while Erza wasn't around, and also to look after the simple Little Goku.
After all, Erza, Natsu, and Gray sometimes acted a bit irrationally.
"Lucy, I've heard of you. You defeated a powerful Balkan Gorilla with just one finger. Very impressive."
"Huh????"
Lucy's mouth fell open, her face full of confusion.
It was Natsu who defeated the Balkan Gorilla; she just assisted a little. How did it get spread that she defeated a Balkan Gorilla with one finger?
"Lucy, I didn't expect you to be so strong. Then after I'm done sparring with Erza, let's spar too."
Hearing this, Little Goku immediately looked at Lucy. It turned out Lucy was also an expert.
"I refuse!"
Lucy's mouth twitched. She didn't want to spar with a boy of monstrous strength who could lift a hundred-ton giant log for training.
