Chapter 231, First Day of Competition

"Yevrit," Laxus said, "We have to be the first to arrive."

"I know." Everit pushed up his glasses.

'Boom'

Just listen to the thunder and explosion, and then a high-speed passage leads directly to the exit.

Laxus escaped into it.

Someone also tried to attack, but was knocked out by a bolt of lightning.

"Fairy Tail is back."

"Familiar feeling."

People who know Fairy Tail can't help but sigh.

"Let's go too." Everit and the others started running without any opponents on the road noticing, allowing them to reach the exit easily.

"Number one has been born."

The pumpkin-headed monster looked at everyone in shock. This was too fast.

Especially this blond boy - it must be Laxus. It took almost a few seconds for him to put down the microphone. Before he could return to his seat, Laxus was already standing in front of him.

"The number one is born?"

All the contestants looked confused, so fast? !

"Congratulations to Fairy Tail Team B for being the first team to arrive in this field!" The pumpkin-headed monster suddenly had an idea and announced the results directly.

Whatever is good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Since your team is so powerful, accept everyone's challenge!

At this time, he was also lucky to have invited Emily as a special guest, otherwise no one would be able to deal with not only Laxus, but also this kid Yevrit.

A long time passed.

The remaining seven teams were selected, and Natsu and others passed in fourth place.

Fairy Tail alone entered two teams, and Team B passed at an extremely exaggerated speed, which made everyone look at Fairy Tail with admiration.

As expected of being the strongest guild seven years ago, it still has a lot of foundation.

Excluding Emily, those influential figures from seven years ago were still very capable.

early morning.

The venue, the Dome Fra Bird, was already packed with seats.

The scene was very lively.

The magicians were also very excited, it was a rare occasion for them to show their faces like this.

After some sideshows

"Okay, the big magic show is about to start." A big-faced host said: "I, Chabati Lola, will be in charge of the live report, and the commentary will be by the special guest, Mr. Yajima, the former member of the Council. We are very honored to have Miss Jenny Lialette of Cyan Pegasus as our guest today.”

"Our guild must win this year, everyone, please work hard!" said a beautiful blonde girl with heavy makeup.

"at last--"

"He is the most important special resident guest!"

Chapati suddenly became excited.

"She's just-"

"Everyone, let us call out her name together -"

The entire venue shouted enthusiastically: "Emily Valliere!"

"Let us give you a warm welcome—"

"Miss Emily!"

A huge shadow appeared in the sky, it was a white-haired girl.

"Everyone--"

"Good morning!"

The huge shadow gradually shrank and solidified, and finally converged into Emily, who sat next to Jenny.

"oh--"

The scene was filled with excitement.

Jenny was filled with jealousy and said, “Miss Emily’s popularity is really high.”

"Haha." Emily smiled heartily.

"So, Miss Emily, who do you think will win this competition?" Chabati asked.

"I can't say, because everyone looks very strong." Emily smiled.

Chapati chatted with Emily for a few more words, and did not dare to delay any longer, and said: "Next, let me introduce all the contestants!"

"first of all--"

One team after another walked out.

"The fourth place in the qualifiers - Fairy Tail Team A, led by Miss Erza Shukaretto, with members including Natsu Dragneel, Gray Folpasta, and Lucy Ha Tefilia, Juvia Rox, they were very famous figures in the entire magic world seven years ago. Now, after seven years, they appear in the Great Demon Fight for the first time. How will they perform? Whether he will be eliminated or regain his glory, let us wait and see!”

The scene was a bit deserted.

It has been seven years since the Sirius group left. The popularity they had back then is no longer there, so it is expected that they will receive a cold reception from the audience.

"Come on—come on—Fairy Tail, come on—"

There was only one lovely voice shouting, and of course, no one else could hear it.

In the Fairy Tail Guild auditorium, the first-generation guild leader Mavis swung her little feet, looking very excited.

"Come on, come on!" Makarov also quickly responded to the call of the first generation and led everyone to shout together.

But it still had little effect.

At this moment, Emily on the stage shouted: "Fairy Tail-come on!"

As soon as she said these words, everyone in the audience followed her shouts and started shouting enthusiastically, as if they all became fanatical fans of Fairy Tail.

The third and second places came on stage one after another.

"Finally, it's Fairy Tail Team B who achieved first place as quickly as possible!"

"The captain is Laxus Dolea. He is the grandson of Fairy Tail's third president, and is also the fifth president in the pipeline."

"He was the number one dragon slayer seven years ago and the ace of Fairy Tail."

"Now, will he continue his legend?"

"Uncle Laxus-come on!" Emily shouted after Chabati finished speaking.

Then, Chapati introduced: "The next person is the person who brought the cutest angel to our world——"

"Viscount Imperial——"

"The second generation fairy strategist——"

"Emily's master, guardian, head of the Valliere family, holder of the Valliere surname——"

"An outstanding contributor to the development of deceptive magic——"

"he is the one--"

"The elegant magician—Jevrit de la Valliere!"

"Master - I love you the most!!!" Emily was even more enthusiastic than before, like a star-chasing little girl, shouting crazily.

This makes the audience at a loss. They can’t also shout like it, right?

Moreover, why did this cute little angel become a bit crazy when she met this guy?

Everyone was even a little jealous.

This guy completely missed seven years of Emily's most important educational stage. Emily has grown up to this point, and it's obviously her own efforts, whether it's doing good deeds or turning deceptive magic into super magic. Something to do with this guy what relationship.

The audience was unhappy.

But it has nothing to do with Emily, she is a saint, not the Virgin.

She is kind, so she helps people.

It doesn't mean that you have to be aware of the emotions of "fans" at all times, but just because they are restrained.

"It seems that Miss Emily likes Mr. Everit quite a lot." Chabati said with a smile.

"Yeah, I like Master the most!" Emily admitted generously.

"Then I hope Mr. Evelit, who also has deception magic, can get good results." Chabati said.

Although he didn't have any hope.

If Everit was really that powerful, he should have become a man of the hour seven years ago.

Now, most people believe that he is no longer as good as his disciple Emily, who is the most advanced user of deceptive magic in history.

Then the rest of the people were introduced.

Eight teams gathered, acquaintances chatting with each other.

"Miss Erza!" Yiye rushed towards Erza, but was slapped away by Erza with a look of disgust on her face.

"Miss Lucy, I don't pay attention to you because I like you." The handsome black-skinned guy said, he is the Cyan Pegasus' Lian, and he is a guy with a strong tsundere attribute.

"Ah" Lucy was helpless, but she was much more mature than seven years ago and didn't feel shy.

'Pa' Natsu pulled Lucy over and said, "She is mine."

"????" Everyone looked confused.

Lucy's face was even redder. Is this a confession? Natsu confessed his love to her? So sudden? This kind of occasion? So direct? !

But when she looked at Natsu, she found that his expression was as usual.

Ah, it’s not a confession.

It's just possessiveness.

Lucy was not disappointed. Compared to that fake tsundere, Natsu was the real tsundere. She was not in a hurry. After all, she already knew Natsu's thoughts clearly.

"Gray, if we win, let Juvia join our guild, that's what we say." Gray's senior brother Leo said.

"First of all, you can't win." Gray said, "Secondly, you have no chance."

With that said, Gray grabbed Juvia's hand and raised it, saying, "Leo, please pay attention to the people around you. Stop making such jokes. It will make girls sad."

Gray's words stunned Leo, and he suddenly realized that this idiot junior brother seemed to have matured a lot.

"Yo - Laxus." An uncle greeted Laxus.

"Laxus, don't be impulsive," Erza said quickly.

Because the person speaking was none other than Laxus' father, Ivan.

Obviously his father is the famous strongman Makarov, and his son is also the super star Laxus, but Ivan really doesn't look like a strong man. Regardless of his appearance or dress, he looks very ordinary.

Laxus snorted and ignored it.

The tail of the big crow Ivan was in also entered the eight teams. If they met, Laxus would make them look good.

"Then -" Chapati said: "Now announce the competition schedule for the Demon Dou Yanwu competition!"

'Rumble'

A huge stone monument rises.

"The competition is divided into two parts: competition and combat," Chabati said.

"The first is competition. The first to eighth place will be determined. Depending on the ranking, different points will be awarded."

"The eighth place will get 0 points, the fourth place will get 4 points, the third place will get 6 points, and the first place will get 10 points!"

"Then comes the combat part."

"In this link, the organizers also take into account factors such as audience voting, and the organizers decide the matchup of each team."

"Each winning team will receive 10 points directly, and if it fails, it will receive 0 points. If there is a tie, each team will receive 5 points."

"Then now—"

"Big Demon Fighting Martial Arts, the first game——"

"[Secret] begins!"

"In this game, the number of participants is 1 per team!"

"The specific rules will be explained after the players are in place!"

soon.

Eight teams selected contestants.

Fairy Tail Team A, Gray chooses to play, Erza is the ace, Natsu is too impulsive, and it is easy to suffer losses due to unclear rules. Only Gray is strong, cerebral, and has a cautious personality, so he should be able to deal with it.

In Fairy Tail Team B, Wendy appears.

Anyway, if Gray plays, he will probably be able to score steadily, so let Wendy get some exercise.

Wait until all players are in place.

A town suddenly appeared in the venue.

The eight participants were all separated.

"The rules of [Secret] are very simple. In this city, each contestant does not know the location of the other. They are chasing and escaping from each other."

"They have to find each other and then attack each other. Whether they use magic or physical skills, as long as they hit the opponent once, they can get 1 point."

"Is it that simple?" Gray just finished speaking.

I saw a lot of people in front of me.

They are the clones of the eight contestants!

"I see, it's not that simple." Gray finally understood and said with a smile, "It's a bit interesting."

Chapati said: "What appears now is the clone of the contestant. If it attacks the clone instead of the contestant himself, one point will be deducted."

"So everyone, please be careful!"

"The game lasts for thirty minutes, and the team with the highest score will win first place!"

"So--"

"Contest--"

"start!"

Everyone took action immediately.

"Miss Emily, what do you think of this competition?" Chabati asked.

Emily replied: "Interesting."

"How do you think your performance will be if Miss Emily participates?" Chabati said.

Emily said bluntly: "Deception magic is very good at finding people. If I participate, I will definitely become the big devil in this game, hahaha."

"Then it seems that Fairy Tail Team B should choose Mr. Evelit to appear." Chabati said.

"I have great faith in Brother Gray and Sister Wendy." Emily said, "They will definitely get a good ranking."

Wendy was a little panicked at first.

But I gradually got used to it.

Although she didn't have a very eye-catching performance, she was a dragon slayer after all, so she was still very alert, especially the smell, which was difficult to hide from her.

Therefore, she can dodge in the face of sneak attacks, and can easily distinguish between real people and fake ones.

Gray is even more cerebral and performed very well in this game.

Although someone is targeting him.

He is the wizard of Crow's Tail.

"You're so irritable. Do you really think I can't catch you?"

Gray became impatient after dodging several sneak attacks.

He is now more than just an Ice Shape Mage.

Or the Water Mage.

He now has a nearly perfect fusion of the two magics.

I saw him waving his hands into mist.

The enemy can't hide in the fog.

"Ah, that move is the Ghost Guild Leader's move!" Natsu recognized it.

This move initially caused a lot of trouble for Everit and Laxus.

'boom'

A mage fell to the ground, frozen into ice.

Gray snorted, really thinking that he had not made any progress in the past seven years!

The game is on.

Gray's score is always first.

Although Wendy's performance was average, she did not hold back.
