(Harukin's POV)
Several days later,
- Fairy Tail Guild -
Inside the guild building, Erza and I was having our snack together.
"Harukin, your strawberry cake are really delicious."
"Erza, eat a little slower and chew your food properly." I said, sipping my tea.
"Yes..." she responded while eating happy expression.
Looking at the Request Board, there's a lot people chosing a quest then going to the reception to take it on. All of them are frantic, rushing off to take on their jobs.
"Macao-san, there's a lot of people doing quest lately. Do you have any idea what going on?" I spoke to Macao-san who's sitting together with Wakaba-san across me in the table, drinking beer.
"Harukin, you're not here last year when the event happened, right? They're going to announce the participants in the S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial tomorrow... Well, you don't have think to much about it since you're still young anyway." Macao-san spoke and answered.
"Oh, is that time already." I said.
"Harukin, are you interested?" Erza asked me.
I glanced at her then noticed that there's a small amount of whipped cream on her cheek.
I wiped it out with my thumb then put it my mouth.
"No, not really." I answered.
Now, I think about it. The only S-Class Mage in this guild right now...
I glanced at the side of the counter, I saw Gramps drinking together with a man who's tall and muscular with shoulder-length orange hair and a stubbly beard.
It was Gildarts Clive.
"Harukin! Waaah... Did you just..." Erza froze while blushing then she became flustered.
"This kid... he's unbelievable." Macao-san spoke in awe from what I just did.
"He just did that to Erza in front of us with serious look on his face." Wakaba said while staring at me.
I ignored them and continued thinking of something.
Lately, I wasn't able to use my full strength in the battle on my quest. I might be the strongest in my home world but here and Akane's world, I'm not. There's Immortal Sika Madu and the god who sent him down on earth in Owari no Seraph World and there's Zeref Dragneel and Acnologia here in Fairy Tail World. There might be even someone stronger than Acnologia that will appear in the future. I might even encounter someone stronger and gets defeated if I don't train myself to become stronger.
I have to strong enough to protect my friends and family.
For that to happen, I need to train myself how to use my full potential.
I stood up from my seat.
"Harukin?" Erza spoke.
I walked towards Gildarts.
Suddenly,
"Harukin! Let's fight!" Natsu shouted, jumping at me with his fist engulfed with flames.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Before he can even reach me with his fist, I imbued my right arm with Hamon.
"Zoom Punch!"
My arm elongated a little, making my fist landed on Natsu's face first.
"Huh?" he was surprised.
*Thud!*
Natsu flew away, crashing on the floor.
"Natsu... You just got defeated easily by Harukin. How about you train more. Hahaha..." Gildarts said while watching us then laughed while pointing at Natsu.
Natsu stood up immediately then shouted,
"Noooo! Let's have a second round, Harukin!"
"Maybe next time, Natsu. I have something else to do." I said, glancing at Gildarts.
"Gildarts-san, can I request a spar with you?"
...
"Eh? What?!" everyone reacted.
Gildarts stared at me few seconds then he asked me,
"What's your purpose on challenging me, Harukin?"
"I wanted to learn how to use my power more efficiently. I just wanted to challenge someone who has more experience than me in fighting. In other words, I wanted train by having a battle with you who's strongest in the guild." I answered, explaining to him.
"If it's for your learning experience then I shall accept your request." Gildarts responded.
"Fight me also, Gildarts!" Natsu loudly said, rushing towards him.
Gildarts just hit him with a simple karate chop on his head.
*Crash!*
Natsu's face crashed on the floor.
"When we'll be having our spar?" Gildarts glanced at me then asked.
"Since I'm prohibited to use my power inside the town, let's meet in the forest outside the town before noon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you there."
"Thank you very much, I'll give you a homemade wine that I brewed myself as my thanks for accepting my challenge."
"Oh, I looking forward from it's taste."

(3rd Person POV)
Few hours later, in the forest outside Magnolia town.
Harukin was standing in front of Gildarts, stretching his body to prepare himself to spar.
Everyone from the guild got curious and went to the location where they're going to fight, watching from not very far distance.
In one who came to watch the fight, Gray asked Erza who's standing near him.
"Erza, you've been with Harukin since you joined the guild, right? Do you know how strong he is?"
"I only known Harukin for a week before we joined the guild. He's already that strong when the first I met him. Also at that time, he saved me and everyone from slavery in that hellish place. It just that, I never saw him going all out on someone even from the foe we fought in our quest." Erza answered.
"Then, do you know what happened when he beat Natsu and Gray in just a blink of an eye?" Cana asked Erza.
"..." Erza paused a little bit.
"...Has Harukin forbid you from saying anything about his magic, Erza?" Levy asked her.
"Not really. More like, he said to me when I asked him, 'Feel free to reveal it to others. Is not like they can do anything about it. Hahaha...' then he just laughed at it. Harukin... he's too easy going about it!" Erza said with angry tone while blushing.
"That guy... he's underestimating us." Gray said with angry expression.
"Raaaawr! Harukin, you jerk! Let's fight!" Natsu said with furious tone.
"Then..." Levy spoke.
"Since it's you guys, I don't mind revealing it. One of Harukin's abilities used at that time is called 'The World', an ability to stop the time for few seconds." Erza spoke and explained to them.
"What?!" All of them were surprised, hearing what Erza revealed.
"So that's why, I felt like I've been hit several times at that moment. A magic that can stop time, how strong he really is?" Gray said, glancing at Harukin.
"I'm fired up. I want to fight Harukin right now." Natsu spoke, cracking his fist.
Not far from that play from them, a mysterious guy appeared out of nowhere sitting on the branch of the tree, watching Harukin and Gildarts prepare to spar each other. He has a dark eyes, blue hair and a tattoo on his right eye. He's face is the same as Jellal but his behavior is different.
"So this is Harukin..." he mumbled.
In the center of the attention, Harukin finished stretching then took off his shirt.
His red guild mark from the center of his back was completely expose.
"Harukin, are you ready?" Gildarts asked him.
"Yes, Gildarts-san. Please don't hold back against me."
"Well, I'm really bad at holding back so prepare yourself to hurt. Let's start! I really wanted to see what can you do after what I heard from Gramps about you." Gildarts stood tall.
"Then, please take care of me." Harukin said, taking outw something from his dimensional storage.
"That's..." Gildarts glanced at the throwing knives on Harukin's hands.
"Trace on!"
The throwing knives was covered by a green light then the light disappeared.
Multiple throwing knives copies appeared floating behind Harukin.
"I think I need to impress you to make you go serious against me."
Harukin threw the knives on his hands and launched the floating knives behind him, scattering it around them.
Gildarts looked around him and asked,
"Huh? What's the purpose those things? And why are you throwing those around?"
"You'll see it later... Dark Berserker, Full Requip!"
A giant black armor with a claymore on the back appeared behind Harukin, covering him as he entered inside.
After that, Harukin put down the sword from his back and planted it on the ground.
Harukin rushed towards Gildarts barehanded.
"So you have the Requip ability to erase the difference in our size. That's good."
Harukin threw several high-speed punches at him.
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!~"
Gildarts did the same, trying to keep up with Harukin as their fist collides multiple times, but he can't because of the speed is too fast so he just tried to dodge the attacks while blocking the others with his arm that trying to slipped through.
'I can't keep up. He's too fast. I guess I have to use that to stop him.' Gildarts thought.
Gildarts leaped back then he imbued his fist with Crush Magic, throwing it to Harukin.
'Here it comes!' Harukin thought, preparing for next attack.
Gildarts fist was about to land on his face but suddenly,
"What?!"
Harukin suddenly disappeared.
Gildarts was very surprised.
"Take this, Gildarts-san."
Harukin appeared behind him with a small miniature of the sun in his palm then slammed it from behind of Gildarts.
"Cruel Sun!"
"Ugh!" Gildarts groaned then he was sent flying by the small sun to crash on a large boulder then exploding.
*Crash!* *Boom!*
