The boar was still in his cage while the two young mage, Laxus and Daven stood in front of him.Makarov by the side yelled," You have five minutes to discuss and create a plan. After that Gildarts will rekease the cage.
I have created a rune barrier around to trap both of you and the board inside. You have to defeat it to open the barrier or if you both are defeated or are unconscious then the barrier will disappear.
You also have a rune on your left hand, if you are willing to give up you just have to rush your magic through it to activate. But in that case, the duration for next task opportunity will be two weeks.
I hope you heard it, your time gap between the tests will be doubled if you give up. So act smart and seize every advantage you could." Makarov narrated the ruled he set for their fight.
After that the duo terrible terrors discussed their plan of action. The adults didn"t hear their plan but from the finger pointing, glares as well as shivers it seemed like their discussion was pretty aggressive.
Gildarts decided to give his opinion on their planning," they can do great pranks when they want to but when you give them a test they fight.
Seriously, kids these days don"t have their priority straight. They are too funny sometimes. Though it would be even funnier if they started to slug each other"s face." He laughed loudly while saying this.
Makarov shook his head and said,"They are but kids, Gildarts. You should give them a break. You can not expect them to act like adult now and least of all you who is even more childish than them. " He didn"t forget to criticise the rugged mage his side.
He then looked at Porlyusica and asked," What are your opinion, Porlyusica?"
She just looked at the short old man with a deadpanned gaze and said," You say that they are kids, yet you give these kids such a task. This boar is at low C rank in brute power. If we take it"s overall attribute, it would be difficult for even a D rank mage to beat it.
Yet, you gave two kids who are seven and five years old to complete such a task while saying that their target can be easily subdued by even an E rank mage. What game are you playing, Makarov?" She didn"t hesistate to glare at him and Gildarts looked at the old man curious about his reasons.
Makarov opted to ignore their gaze and looked at the two kids having a heating discussion within the barrier. He closed his eyes and sighed and states," They both are genius, Porlyusica, Gildarts. They are both genius. h.e.l.l, Daven is a monster in magic. Laxus himself isn"t much worse than Daven but the only thing holding him back is his weaker physical body.
As he grows his strength would grow alongside, making him a powerful mage.
You know, I often regret that Daven decided to become a rune Knight, instead of a fairy tail wizard. He would have been a great member. " He said the last part mostly to himself.
----------------------------------------------------
With Laxus and Daven,
" How do we deal with a boar?" Daven asked Laxus.
" How would I know? You wanted to fight someone and you got it. So why am I even dragged into your mess?" Laxus grumbled at his best friend.
" So you don"t have any powerful magic to wound or harm the boar?" He asked the blonde male.
Laxus was thinking about his moves for some time and finally said,"I do have a move, but it takes me a few minutes to complete. And I don"t think this boar can give us that much time."
Hearing that he had a way, Daven"s eyes shined and he confidently said,. " leave the distraction job to me. You just have to deal the final blow."
" Ok. Leave it to me." Laxus said.
--------------------------------------------------
The two then prepared themselves and got in their respective fighting poses.
Seeing this, Makarov shouted," are you ready?"
" Yes, you stinky old Man, we are ready. Just get this thing started. " Daven shouted while insulting the guild master.
The said old man only grumbled,"brats not knowing how to respect their elders." And then swept his hands with a golden glow from up to down.
The cage of the boar was opened and he rushed towards the target he had set.
The boar was running towards Daven and Laxus at a fast speed, but they weren"t afraid. Laxus trusted Daven and knew he have a way. As for Daven he had a plan for this.
Daven constructed the magic array and shouted," Arc of Embodiment, bear trap. "
And a couple of traps with sharp teeth armed appeared on the path of the boar.
The boar ignored them until his feet slammed on one, disrupting his momentum and making it fall on the ground hard.
The front leg was also trapped on the jaws of the trap and blood flow from the wound. The jaws had hit the bone. The awkward angle in which the leg had turned into showed that it was even broken.
The boar was in intense pain and was sprouting fire from his eyes.
The hurt boar made the young mages lower their guard but Gildarts mumbled," The boar is angry now. I don"t know how they will deal with him."
As soon as he said that, multiple rock spikes were thrown towards the duo. Daven was able to come to his senses in time and shouted out," Arc of Embodiment, steel Wall"
A thin film of steel appeared in front of him. The spikes were stopped but it had made many holes on the sheet. The sustainance and increasing defense of this wall was draining his magic fast so he shouted at his companions," how much long will it take you?"
Laxus was focused on his magic and didn"t bother to answer, but Daven senses told him that it may take a few more minutes.
Daven can only sustain two types of creation at a time at his current level. So he willed away the trap and shouted," Arc of Embodiment, Arrow rain."
Many arrows with the head made of rusted iron hit the boar. If it was any normal boar, it was enough to kill him, but the boar was almost a magical beast.
A little later, and he would have become an official magic beast which only C rank mage could take on.
Even if his body had some arrows embedded on his body, his will to fight hadn"t diminished. He coated his leg with rock and almost created a new leg in place of his damaged one and rushed forward to Daven and nailed him, or at least tried to nail him.
Daven was able to dodge at the right time to escape the direct hit, but was sc.r.a.pped and hence sent to the ground with a gush at the stomach and chest area.
Daven whined in pain from the hit and was rolling on the ground. The shaking of the ground from the second charge, woke him from the pain.
Daven knew he couldn"t dodge on his current situation so he willed away every creation he had made and just when the boar was a metre away from him, created a slope in the path.

The boar couldn"t control his speed and ran through the slope and as he tried to change direction but he had rise the slope, and once again fell on the ground.
The fall didn"t do much except making him bleed a little more and increase his anger for Daven.
Just when he was going to attack daven once more, the second neglected member, Laxus shouted out," Lightning make: lightning spear"
A bright yellow magic array appeared and from it a spear made of lightning rushed out. It pierced through the body of the boar and hit his heart, killing the boar.
-----------------------------------------------------
But, neither if the two young mage were in the condition to celebrate their victory as once defeating the for, both of them were knocked out. They spent their entire magic and had drained their physical strength and mental strength too on facing the boar.
As soon as the boar died, the barrier dropped and Porlyusica cane forward to Daven and started treating him as he was more injured than Laxus, meanwhile Laxus was just exhausted.
Makarov stood in his place not moving and asked Gildarts," what do you think, Gildarts?"
"I think we have two future S rank wizards with us. I look forward to their growth. " He said with a smile.
Makarov too had a caring smile and looked at the two sleeping kids. He repeated Gildarts words," I myself too look forward to their future. "
And the first real battle of Daven and Laxus came to an end.
