Chapter 229, Great Demon Fighting Show

"This doll is quite cute."

Everit, who returned to the guild, saw the blond doll Lucy was holding in her arms and said with a smile.

"Well, this is my sister." Lucy replied with a smile.

"It seems like you guys have gone through something." Ikaruga asked with a smile.

"Yeah-" Lucy felt a little emotional.

Everit shook his head. He just went home and scanned the grave, but it seemed that he missed some plot.

"Okay, everyone is here." President Makarov said.

"Yes-" Everyone raised their hands.

The guild president had something to say, which was why Everit came to the guild just after he came back and hadn't had time to rest for a few days.

"Laxus." Makarov stepped aside.

Laxus stood in front of everyone and said, "I have decided that I want everyone to participate in the Great Demon Fight and perform martial arts."

"Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts?" Natsu and others who came back from another world didn't understand what it was.

"Romeo, you explain." Laxus said.

Romeo said: "The Great Demon Fight is held once a year. It is a competitive competition to select the strongest magician guild in Fiore Kingdom!"

"Oh? It's interesting." Gray smiled.

"The one who ranked first last year seems to be called the Sword-biting Tiger. There should be many strong ones." Erza said with a smile, and there was no trace of worry on her expression.

"I'm on fire!" Natsu said.

"Moreover, the winner will receive a reward of thirty million J." Romeo added.

"Oh!!!" Everyone was even more excited. You must know that these people who came back from the other world, except for Everit, didn't have much money.

"But -" Laxus said: "With our current strength, if we participate in the Great Demon Fight, we may not be able to securely get first place."

"Ah, Laxus, what are you talking about?" Natsu was very unconvinced: "With us here, there is no way we will lose!"

"Natsu, your two magics are well integrated?" Laxus asked.

"That kind of thing." Natsu wanted to be tough, but he felt guilty.

"Natsu—" Lucy pulled him and said, "Don't be brave, listen to Laxus."

The current version of the magic world has been updated.

Before in Edras, everyone thought that they had mastered two magic systems, the original and the contract magic, and that when combined, they could exert greater strength. When they returned to Edras, they would definitely become super powerful.

Who knew that three years ago, contract magic also became popular in Eslandon.

Today's magicians, as long as they have some strength, have opened a second magic source and have the power of two magic systems at the same time.

Moreover, they have a three-year integration period.

But everyone in Edras doesn't have this integration period - in Edras, they can't use their own magic and can only use contract magic.

After returning, the two magic systems will naturally require a certain amount of time and energy to integrate and achieve mastery before they can improve their strength.

so--

This is what Laxus is worried about. Even he currently lacks experience in the fusion and use of magic from the two systems.

Laxus is a genius, not even the others.

"so--"

Laxus said: "There are less than four months left. Next, there will be special training!"

"And, Natsu—"

Laxus looked at Natsu and said, "In four months, we will look at the results of everyone's special training. Based on the results, we will decide on the list of participants."

"you--"

"It's not up to standard right now."

"I will pass!" Natsu couldn't stand the excitement and punched his fists with both hands, his face full of fighting spirit!

"Mr. Evelit, don't you need special training?"

After the meeting, Everit went home and lay down.

Ikaruga asked curiously.

"Do you need it?" Everit asked.

"I don't have to." Ikaruga shook his head.

She mainly uses swordsmanship, and she is not very capable in magic. Even if she obtained contract magic, it did not enhance her magic strength much.

Therefore, Ikaruga does not need to specially train the fusion of two sets of magic.

Besides, the probability of choosing her is not high, she is too biased.

"I agree too," Everit said.

At this time, Ikaruga remembered that the deception magic that Everit knew and the illusion magic of the contract were both similar magics, and the latter was a reinforcement of the former.

Say it again

This thing is deceptive magic.

Everit has never liked to show off its power before, but his disciple Emily has fully explained to the world how powerful this magic is.

Everit must be stronger than Emily now, so why does he need special training?

then.

the next few months.

Everyone is practicing hard, especially Natsu, Gray, Gajeel and others. Because the places are limited and the competition is fierce, they are afraid that they will not be selected, so they are practicing like crazy.

Soon, each achieved something.

It’s approaching ten days before the big magic fight.

Laxus announced that the special training was over.

Then the participants will be selected based on the results of the special training.

"Quiet." Laxus said, and the somewhat noisy scene fell silent.

He has become very president-like.

Makarov looked at his back with a face filled with relief. When this great magic fight is over, he will pass the position of president to Laxus.

"According to the rules, there will be two teams competing, each with five people."

Laxus read:

"Team A——"

"Erza."

Erza looked calm, as expected.

"Natsu."

"Okay!" Natsu clenched his fists excitedly.

"Gray."

"Of course." Gray's lips curled up.

"Lucy."

"It's actually my business." Lucy was still very happy.

"Juvia."

"Great, no need to separate from Gray-sama!" Juvia was also very excited.

"The above five people are the members of Team A." Laxus glanced at Elfman and said, "There is another alternate, originally Elfman, but Elba Green is pregnant, so he Give up the competition."

"Huh?!!!" The whole guild was shocked.

"Hey." Elfman scratched his head in embarrassment.

"When did it happen?!" Erza looked shocked.

Abby Green said: "I didn't feel very well just a few days ago." When talking about this kind of problem, she couldn't help but become shy, and suddenly punched Elfman in a feigned anger: "It's all your fault. !”

"Hehe." Elfman just smiled.

"congratulations!"

Everyone gathered around.

"You guys, you move pretty fast." Gray punched Elfman on the shoulder.

"Gray, you have to hurry up," Elfman said.

This sentence silenced Gregan.

"Boy or girl?" Natsu asked.

"Natsu——" Lucy was speechless: "I just found out about the pregnancy, how can I know the gender."

"Are you moving?" Natsu possessed him, his ear pressed against Elfman's belly.

"I heard a sound!" Natsu said in surprise.

"Let me hear it, let me hear it." Habi quickly followed up.

Everyone: "."

"Well," Elfman said, "It's just because I'm a little hungry. By the way, Natsu, what are you listening to here?"

"Idiots." Lucy couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the two embarrassing guys away.

"I'll listen." Erza pressed her head against Abbey Green's belly.

"It was impossible to hear something just now," said Abba Green.

"Yeah -" Erza nodded, she also had some cute attributes.

Everyone was busy for a while because of this happy event, and then gradually became quiet.

Laxus said: "Therefore, Lisanna will be the alternate."

"I will try my best," Lisanna said.

"Team B is now announced."

Laxus said, "Laxus."

No surprises.

"Yevrit."

No surprises.

Everit pushed up his glasses and said, "Can I abstain?"

"No." Laxus raised his chin.

"Or you can ask my disciple Emily to come."

"No, Master." Emily said, "This time, I am a special guest, leading a non-Fairy Tail guild team to participate."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"Well -" Melty said with a smile: "Emily is a big star after all, so the organizer wanted to use her to attract a lot of popularity, so she appeared as a special guest."

"Hehe, so -" Emily clenched her fists: "Brother Natsu, sister Lucy, I will not show mercy, please don't be eliminated by me."

Lucy said with some guilt: "I'll try my best." Suddenly the pressure was so great!

Natsu, Gray, and even Erza all had solemn expressions.

Yefulit said: "As everyone knows, I have never been good at frontal combat."

"Shut up, Everit, you can save this for the big magic fight and talk to your opponent," Laxus said. Then he continued: "Miraj."

"Is it actually my business?" Mirajane smiled, but she didn't object.

"Wendy."

"Huh? Me?" Wendy was a little nervous and said, "I'll do my best!"

"at last--"

"Gajeel."

Gajeel breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his name.

"Team B's alternate is Kana."

Laxus said: "Get ready today, we will leave for the royal capital tomorrow."

"yes!"

"By the way -" Wendy asked: "Why doesn't Mr. Gildas participate?"

"..." Laxus said, "That guy... there's no need for that."

The first team includes Natsu + Lucy, Gray + Juvia, and Erza, who are already quite bullying.

The second team has Laxus + Everit + Mirajane. Is adding Gildarts a bit too much?

Gildas smiled and said: "Besides, I happen to have something to do recently and I have to leave for a while."

He said confidently: "I believe that when I come back, Fairy Tail will already be the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore."

"arrival!"

As soon as he got out of the car, Natsu was fully revived for a second, and then died again.

And Wendy was also a little dizzy: "Why, even I started to get motion sickness."

"Congratulations, this shows that your strength has grown." Everit said.

"Brother Laxus, are you okay?" Lisanna took care of Laxus.

"I'm fine." Laxus pretended to be calm, trying to maintain his dignity, but his trembling legs were really embarrassing.

"Okay." Makarov said, "Cheer up!"

"Let everyone see the strength of Fairy Tail!"

"Oh——" Everyone was exhausted, sitting in the car for too long and very tired.

"Hey, they were talking about Fairy Tail just now?" A passerby was surprised: "Is it the guild where the angel girl is?"

"They are some strangers." Another person said.

"Where is the saint?"

"There are two girls with white hair, but they don't look like it."

The passersby seemed to be looking for something.

Everyone: "."

I have always known that Emily is a big star now, but it is really surprising that her reputation is so great.

The saint has come out

This is because the church publicly recruited Emily. Although she refused, everyone has recognized that she is an angel who came to the world and the most pure and kind saint.

Yeflit is very proud. Although it is mostly due to Emily's own efforts, he is still very proud to have taught such a disciple.

Although passers-by are puzzled, they did not surround her to ask questions.

"What a pity." Makarov said, "In previous years, our guild didn't have enough people. With only Emily, it was hard to hold up. Otherwise, we could have always been the first."

Urutia and the others, although they are almost the same as the guild members, are not members of Fairy Tail.

They feel embarrassed. After all, they were enemies and brought pain to everyone in Fairy Tail.

So, they didn't participate in the previous Grand Magic Fighting Games. Only Emily could hold up, but she was restricted by the rules, so she couldn't help the guild get the first place.

"But." Laxus said, "From now on, the first place will only be us!"

"Oh!"

Natsu, who had recovered some strength, responded loudly.

"Ahem." Makarov said, "Pay attention, the competition will be held tomorrow, but the rules say that you must be in the hotel at 12 o'clock tonight, so everyone should be more restrained today, finish eating early and go back to the hotel to rest, get enough energy, and don't be eliminated at the beginning."

"Of course, old man, what are you talking about impossible things." Natsu said.

"Don't be proud and complacent." Makarov reminded.

"Got it." Natsu answered casually.

"Now, let's go to the hotel to put the luggage." Makarov said.

Everyone arrived at the hotel they had booked.

According to the team, the room was assigned.

After everyone put down their luggage, they did their own things.

Most people have not been to the capital yet.

The Kingdom of Fiore has many wizards and powerful magic, so the infrastructure is very impressive.

Especially the capital, not to mention.

It is much larger and more prosperous than the capitals of the Kingdom of Edras and the Kingdom of Shirashi.

All kinds of magic props that have never been seen have made everyone empty their wallets that have not been accumulated yet.

There are also many wizards, after all, this is a magic festival.

There are also various tourists and so on.

The streets are crowded.

Yevlit has been here many times. He has no intention of strolling around, but pulls the dove to the downtown area-

Perform magic!

Free!

Here tonight is his most shining stage!
