"What is this?"
Erza's group of four and one cat looked at the strange broom on the ground, their faces full of confusion.
In their World, there were no magic items like flying brooms, though they did have magic Airships.
But those things weren't cheap, and with the guild's dismal finances, they couldn't afford one.
"Nimbus 2000. Just get on and input magic power to fly."
Little Goku explained.
Erza and the others immediately tried it out. Sure enough, they were soon riding the brooms and successfully taking to the air.
Because of their precise control over magic power and their powerful physical fitness, they completely mastered the flying techniques after just a couple of practice laps.
If this were Hogwarts, they would definitely all be top-tier Seekers.
Of course, there was one exception.
That was Natsu, who had the weakness of getting motion sickness from all forms of transportation.
As soon as he flew up on the broom, he got so dizzy that he fell straight off.
Fortunately, his body was very strong, so he wouldn't die from falling from a high altitude.
"I'll just carry him while I fly!"
Erza intended to knock Natsu unconscious again and carry him.
"Two people on one broom is too heavy."
Little Goku took out the flying nimbus he had prepared earlier from a box: "Better try and see if you can sit on my flying nimbus."
Erza was already heavy enough wearing her armor; adding Natsu would definitely affect the broom's speed.
But the flying nimbus wasn't affected by weight, and its speed was much faster than the broom; it could just about fit two people.
"A cloud? Is this also a flying magic item? It's the first time I've seen this kind of magic item."
Erza's group of four and one cat were very surprised to see Little Goku sitting on a floating cloud.
Little Goku shook his head: "The flying nimbus isn't a magic item; it's my friend."
Jumping down from the flying nimbus, Little Goku said to it, "flying nimbus, say hello to everyone!"
The flying nimbus immediately spun in a circle as a greeting and then affectionately pressed against Little Goku's side.
"Wow, how amazing! Let me try too."
Lucy wanted to try sitting on the flying nimbus, but as soon as she got on, she fell right off.
"Master Roshi Grandpa said that only good kids can ride the flying nimbus."
Little Goku explained upon seeing this.
Hearing this, Lucy's composure crumbled: "A good kid? Are you saying I'm not a good kid? I..."
She thought about it carefully; she really wasn't exactly a "good kid."
She had run away from home to join a Mage guild, and the novels she wrote contained some rather explicit adult content.
"I'll do it!"
Natsu leapt onto the flying nimbus and stood steadily behind Little Goku.
Clearly, he was accepted by the flying nimbus.
"What? Why can he do it?"
Seeing Natsu ride the flying nimbus, Lucy found it hard to accept. She could admit she wasn't a "good kid."
But how could a guy like Natsu, who destroyed half a city at the drop of a hat, be considered a good kid?
"Eh? Natsu, you don't get motion sickness on the flying nimbus?"
At this point, Lucy noticed that Natsu, standing on the flying nimbus, didn't look dizzy at all like he did on the magic broom; he was as energetic as if he were on the ground.
"The flying nimbus isn't transportation; it's a friend, just like Happy. Of course I won't get motion sick."
Natsu said matter-of-factly.
He got motion sickness from transportation, not friends. Happy often flew while carrying him, and he was perfectly fine.
"Alright..."
Lucy was also somewhat speechless.
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's go!"
Seeing Natsu successfully get on the flying nimbus, Erza, Gray, and Lucy also mounted their respective flying brooms.
Under the surprised gazes of the people near the station, a cloud, three brooms, and a winged cat gradually disappeared into the sky.
"There it is!"
Following the railway line forward, about half an hour later, a station situated in a canyon appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Look, there's an army!"
In the canyon station, a train had been cut in half. All the passengers had been forced off and were crouching by the side of the station, guarded by several Mages.
At the station entrance, a large number of soldiers in the uniform of the Kingdom of Fiore's army were attacking the station.
However, although their siege was fierce, it didn't cause many casualties among the Mages occupying the station.
Instead, the army suffered heavy losses, with two-thirds already fallen.
Strong ordinary people could become soldiers through training, and in large enough numbers, they could handle average Mages without much trouble.
But against Mages with rich combat experience and great strength, they were basically useless.
For instance, with the Fire Dragon's Roar that Natsu had used before, any number of soldiers within a hundred meters would be instantly charred.
And the ones occupying the station now were none other than the Mages of Eisenwald, led by the S-Class Mage Erigor.
The strength of these dark Mages, who specialized in assassination, was definitely not something an ordinary army could handle.
"Go down and help. I'll deal with Erigor; you guys handle the other Mages."
Erza jumped straight off her flying broom and began to cast her Requip magic mid-air: "Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!"
In mid-air, a dazzling magic circle lit up on Erza, and a magnificent set of armor with two pairs of metal wings appeared on her body.
At the same time, two magic broadswords appeared in her hands.
With a flap of her wings, Erza charged toward Erigor, who was floating above the station.
"Wow, is this Erza's magic?"
Seeing the magnificent armor on Erza, Lucy's eyes were filled with admiring little stars.
Happy explained at the right moment: "The magic Erza uses is called Requip magic, but it's no ordinary Requip magic; it's the Knight Requip magic that Erza improved."
Ordinary Requip magic allows one to store prepared magic weapons in a special space and take them out whenever needed.
But Erza's Knight Requip magic allows not only combat weapons but also magic armor to be stored in the special space and accessed at any time.
The key is that after the magic is cast, the magic armor is automatically equipped onto the body, without hindering combat at all.
As long as various magic armors with different attributes are stored in advance, one can put on the magic armor that counters a specific enemy during battle.
For example, when facing a Mage who uses fire magic, she would put on magic armor that reduces fire damage.
"I'm going in!"
Seeing Erza and Erigor start fighting, Little Goku couldn't hold back and jumped straight off the flying nimbus.
Natsu and Gray followed closely behind, while Lucy controlled her flying broom to descend slowly; she didn't dare jump from such a height.
"Petrifying Punch!"
"Fainting Palm!"
"Leg-Locking Finger!"
After Little Goku landed, he hit a Mage from the Eisenwald guild with a punch, and the Mage's body immediately went stiff, unable to move.
Dodging a fireball from behind, he struck with a palm, and the Mage he hit fainted on the spot.
With a kick of his legs, he arrived in front of a Mage who was running wildly and lightly tapped his forehead; the Mage's legs locked together, and he fell flat on his face.
