‘Whoa, whoa, whoosh’ The water lapped against the hull. Everit was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks. He moved a stool and sat on the bow of the boat, crossing his legs, holding a drink that looked like red wine and a book in his hand. Very comfortable. Next to it, Turtle Dove put up a parasol. Miraj walked towards him with a plate of fruits. "Hey, Everit, you are in the logistics department, you should be serving us, but why are you enjoying it more than us?" Gray said. "What is logistics?" Evelit took off his sunglasses and said, "It's the backstage where you are diligent. The assessment hasn't started yet, so what do you care about me?" "Or" Everit shook the cup and swayed the red drink.
"You want me to bring you water?" "Why not?" Gray was about to say when he heard Everit say: "If you dare to drink it, I will serve it." "Forget it, keep going." Gray really didn't dare to drink. "Hahahahaha -" Natsu ran around on the boat excitedly because Wendy used magic on him so that he no longer had to worry about seasickness - this was a very new experience for him. "It's so hot." Elfman complained. Abba Green fanned rapidly. "I really want to eat ice cream," Lucy said decadently. "Gray, you guy, hurry up and make some ice." Natsu immediately ran to Gray. "Ah." Gray sighed and took out a large ice cube. "How can we eat like this?" Natsu said. "I can help." Ikaruga pulled out his long knife and chopped the ice into pieces with a few swipes. "Lucy." Natsu handed the crushed ice to Lucy. After putting it down, he ran to the stern of the boat before Lucy could say "thank you." It's like a dog being let out of a cage, and it really can't stop for a moment. "I can see it!" Kana shouted at this time. Everyone looked over excitedly. On the distant sea level, a small island with a huge tree crown appeared. "That is our holy land - Tenrou Island." President Makarov stood on the railing, looking at the island in the distance, and said: "It is said that goblins live there, and it is also the resting place of our first president. " "First generation?" Lucy asked curiously. "Fairy Tail, the first president Mavis Vivianilio." Makarov explained: "She is a powerful, kind, and wise mage who personally created the three major super magics. ——Fairy's Law, Fairy's Glory, Fairy's Ball."
"And he has extremely powerful battlefield command capabilities, and is known as the 'Fairy Strategist'." "Huh?" Juvia said in surprise, "It's similar to Mr. Everit's position." Everit smiled modestly and said, "I am far inferior to the first generation." When everyone listened to his words, it was rare that they didn't complain. "Okay." Makarov said: "Now we will announce the content of the preliminary test." Everyone's expressions became serious, even Natsu looked calm. Makarov took out a picture and explained: "First arrive at the starting point. There are seven roads here. Each group can only choose one. Wherever it leads is random." Some roads on the screen are connected two by two. Makarov explained: "If the two groups meet, they can only decide the winner, and the winning group can move on." There are also three people's heads on the screen - Gildarts, Erza, and Laxus. "If you encounter these three people, you must defeat them before you can move forward." "Hey, are you kidding? Erza and the others are up there!" Lucy exclaimed. "If we meet Gildarts..." Elfman clenched his fists. "The probability is one in seven, don't worry." Abby Green held his hand and comforted him. "Okay!" Natsu shouted, "I will defeat Gildarts!" "." Everyone was unable to complain. "It seems like it would be better to meet another group and have a higher chance of passing," Lebby said. "Interesting." Gajeel said with a cold sweat, obviously not having much confidence. On the seven roads, there is basically no chance of encountering Gildarts, Erza, and Laxus. Ikaruga's strength is second only to Erza, and Gajeel's iron arm cannot stop Ikaruga's sword. Meeting Kana and Ikaruga together is basically the same as meeting Erza. When they meet Natsu and Gray, it's a fight to the death, and the outcome is hard to say. Gajeel had fought Natsu to the death before and lost to him. He was growing, and Natsu was not slowing down either. Gray is also very powerful, plus Juvia, one ice and one water, two close to S-class characters. Although I don't want to admit it, their group is 1+ versus 1+, and the outcome is small. Fried's strength is also very strong, and he has even joined forces with Bigusro. There are only two groups, Meister and Elfman, and they are probably the most preferred. "Just do your best," Lebby said. In fact, her mood is very stable. After all, even with Gajeel, it is difficult to pass in this competition system. She is basically a companion. She is still self-aware of her own strength. soon.
The ship has docked. Makarov said: "Then, let's start!" 'boom' Everyone immediately showed their magical powers and rushed into the passage. "Haha!" Everit suddenly clapped his hands and laughed. "Natsu is so unlucky!" "." Lisanna asked: "Who did Natsu meet?" "Gildas." Everit smiled. "That's it." Lisanna slapped her forehead. "Let's go, we'll wait for them at the end." Makarov said. "Hey, Everit." Habi grabbed Everit and said, "Natsu's words don't matter." He was worried. Even if Gildarts believed in Natsu, it was hard to say he could win. "Don't worry, Gildarts will be measured, and the entire guild will be able to defeat him. He won't embarrass Natsu too much," Everit said. "It's best that way." Happy's mood dropped. "Yevrit." Xia Lulu looked at Everit. Although she didn't say anything, she hoped that the other party would understand what she meant. "Don't worry, I'm always monitoring you." Everit said. "I don't know who I will meet. It's so quiet. I'm a little scared." Lucy was a little nervous. "No matter who it is, I can defeat him." Natsu said with a smile, "It's best Gildarts!" "Hey, don't say such unlucky words. If we meet Gildarts, we will lose immediately!" Lucy said quickly. "Ah la." At this time, the uncle's voice came from across the passage: "I'm so sorry, Lucy, it seems you are really unlucky." Gildas came slowly. "Hey, hey, hey, I really chose the worst path. I've always been lucky!" Lucy sweated crazily on her forehead. "No, you're very lucky, Lucy." Natsu said through gritted teeth. 'boom' Fire exploded all over him. "Ah wait, Natsu."
"Fire Dragon's - Iron Fist!" Gildas raised his hand, wanting to say something. His words were interrupted by Natsu. Natsu rushed towards Gildarts. "Hey, wait!" When Lucy saw this, it was too late to take out the key. She quickly waved her hand, and balls of light appeared in her palm. A total of nine basketball-sized balls of light, containing powerful magic power. This is the magic that Evelit modified for her based on the history of the star map. It can transform Lucy's magic power into direct output. She has now mastered it through practice. "Nine stars in a row!" Nine balls of light followed Natsu and rushed towards Gildarts. Gildarts stretched out his hand. 'boom' He blocked Natsu's attack with one hand, not taking an inch back. Then he watched the nine light balls coming towards him, grabbed Natsu's fist, used him as a baseball bat, swung it, and hit all nine light balls. Broken, Natsu took all the damage. "Ah!" Lucy exclaimed, this time she deceived her teammates! Gildarts threw Natsu towards Lucy, who quickly reached out to catch him. 'boom' She also flew out upside down. "You guys are totally uncooperative," Gildas said. "It's not over yet!" Natsu jumped up, turned into a big fireball, and rushed towards Gildarts. "Such a mindless attack is meaningless, Natsu." Gildarts sighed, stretched out his hand and slapped it, and the magic was activated. break down! All of Natsu's magic was shattered. "Huh? Where is the person?" There was nothing in front of him. "The fire dragon's sword horn!" Natsu flew down from the ceiling and hit Gildarts on the head. 'boom' The ground beneath Gildarts' feet was shattered. "It was a close call. If we really get hit by the fire dragon, I'm afraid we'll lose." He shattered the ground, buffering Natsu's impact force. Gildarts grabbed Natsu.
Not to be outdone, Natsu fought with him at close range. Unfortunately, after a few rounds, Natsu lost and was punched into the ground by Gildarts. "Twelve stars in a row!" Twelve light balls flew over, and Gildarts waved his hand, smashing all the magic into pieces. "Too strong." Lucy couldn't help but say. He could hit Natsu with one hand and was unable to fight back, and he could break the magic with just a wave of his hand. Although they have fought side by side several times before, this is the first time for them to be opponents, so the pressure is too great! "Open the Leo Gate—Leo!" "What's the use of hitting Gildarts and looking for me!" Leo complained as he ran out, but he still clenched his fists. The next second, he was beaten away by Gildarts. The next second, Natsu was also knocked away, colliding with Leo, and then colliding with Lucy. It was like playing billiards, and all three of them flew out. "How are you going to fight?" Lucy rubbed her head and got up. 'boom' Natsu responded to her words with fierce burning flames. "Lucy, if you work hard, you will win!" Natsu looked serious. "You guy." Lucy took a deep breath and said, "You never listen to others' advice, but I will always accompany you to go crazy." "Thank you." Natsu said, "Gildarts, I'm going to take action!" "Okay." Gildarts nodded and said, "Natsu, attack as much as you like." "The secret of dragon slaying!" Natsu came up and turned it up. It is impossible to defeat Gildarts with ordinary tricks. Only by trying your best can you have a chance! "Miracle fire type——" "Huh?" Gildarts was a little surprised: "Yevrit's magic power?" His expression became serious. If it was that guy's magic power, he would have to be cautious about this move. "Red Lotus—Phoenix Sword!" Natsu transformed into a long sword and rushed towards Gildarts. Gildas raised his hand, but the moment he came into contact with the outer magic power, he froze. A complex of emotions - timidity, fear, panic, depression, etc., all surged up.
He couldn't resist the explosion of emotions. Oops! When Gildarts came to his senses, he looked at Natsu who was so close and instinctively slapped him away! 'boom' This slap directly dispersed Natsu's magic, and even hit Natsu in the face. "Not good!" Leo exclaimed. 'boom' Natsu disappeared instantly! "Natsu!" Lucy was stunned for a moment, her eyes were blank, unable to accept the fact that Natsu was shattered by magic. "Gildarts, you guy, even if you are dementia, there is a limit!" Leo roared angrily, and then rushed towards Gildarts as if to vent his anger. Gildarts has a somewhat reckless nature, and occasionally gets dazed and destroys things unintentionally. The town of Magnolia even changed its layout for him. "Wait, you two." Gildarts grabbed Leo and threw him away, saying, "My magic is not just broken, Natsu is not dead!" "What?" Lucy came back to her senses. "Wow--" There was a noise from the ceiling, and countless little Natsu fell down, knocking Lucy down. "what happened?" Lucy sat up with a little Natsu in her arms, looking at the little Natsu on the ground with a confused look on her face. "Ah, the magic of decomposition, if used on a living thing, will split it into many little people." Gildarts scratched his ears and said, "It will take a while to recover." "That's it." He turned around and planned to leave: "You have stopped here." "Wait!" Lucy stood up and condensed a ball of light in her palms. "Huh?" Gildarts looked at her doubtfully. "I'm not defeated yet." Lucy said seriously: "You can't leave yet!" "Lucy, I won't show mercy to you." Gildas said. "No need!" Lucy waved her hand, and twelve light balls appeared. She said firmly: "I will fight with you until the last moment, because I have recognition and have the same will as Natsu!" "Haha." Gildarts laughed and said, "Yevrit's evaluation of you is very accurate." Lucy - usually timid, but very reliable in critical moments! "Twelve stars in a row!"
Twelve light balls hit Gildarts. "Open the Gate of Taurus, Talos!" Talos and Leo, one on the left and one on the right, besieged Gildarts. And Lucy was already condensing the next wave of light balls. "Twelve stars in a row!" ‘Boom boom boom’ This still didn't bother Gildarts. He shattered the magic, knocked Talos and Leo away with two punches, and then destroyed the next wave of magic with a wave of his hand. The difference in strength is too big. Lucy understood clearly, but she still refused to take a step back. "Ah——" A group of Natsu rushed towards Gildarts, shouting: "Gildarts, you made a mistake. With so many of me, I will definitely beat you!" "Haha." Gildarts said with a smile: "You are still attacking after being like this. As expected of you, Natsu." In the next second, countless little Natsu drowned him like a tsunami. ‘Buzz’ A wave of magic spread out and Natsu returned to his original state. Gildarts punched him away. "Natsu, I can create a chance for you, only one chance!" Lucy said. "Okay." Natsu nodded. "Come back, Talos and Leo." Lucy withdrew the star spirit and took a deep breath. "Go to the farthest reaches of the sky and count all the shining stars. Show me my true form, and they are all under my palm. I am the lord of the stars, and I order you to open the door to the wilderness. There are 88 stars in the sky, shine, star map history!" Lucy activated her ultimate move, and the stars in the sky locked Gildarts, saturating the attack! "It's a bit powerful." Gildarts used magic repeatedly to crush the attack, but he was still overwhelmed. This is not one of those low-end versions of light balls, its power is amazing! "call--" Natsu calmed down and clenched his fists. "The secret of dragon slaying——" "Miracle fire type——" "Red Lotus—Phoenix Sword!"
He rushed towards Gildarts again, and the move just now almost worked. This time, Gildarts was distracted by Lucy's magic and might not be able to resist it! "clever." Gildas marveled. "However, it's not like Everit is here. This kind of trick will never work for you again!" He shot away the last magic, then gathered his mind, and shot away Natsu's magic before he was controlled by his emotions. 'boom' Who knew, Natsu would breathe fire out of his mouth. "Eh." Gildarts was not prepared for this turn of events, and had to raise his other hand, which he had never used, to defend himself against the fireball that protruded from his face. At this time, he suddenly felt pain in his abdomen! 'boom' Natsu punched Gildarts away, leaving him embedded in the wall. "It hurts" Gildarts rubbed his belly. Natsu charged forward again. "Okay, with this kind of performance, you are considered qualified." Gildas said with a smile. "Are you kidding? If I don't defeat you, what's the point of becoming an S-class mage!" Natsu was not going to stop. "Haha——" Gildarts sighed: "Okay." 'boom' Suddenly a terrifying magic power broke out. Natsu's movements froze. He looked at Gildas with shock on his face. "I rarely use magic power, Natsu." Gildarts said, "But... I can't turn a blind eye to your shortcomings." ‘Plop’ Lucy sat down on the ground, her chest was so tight that it felt like it was being pressed by a big stone, and she couldn't even breathe! A feeling of fear surged up in his heart, as if he had been cast by magic by Everit. "What is this?" Natsu was still gritting his teeth and insisting, standing still and resisting. Gildas said: "You are brave enough, strong, and powerful, but... if you want to become an S-class mage, there is one thing you don't have." "fear."
‘Buzz’ Gildarts' magic exploded even more powerfully. That huge magic power can be felt throughout Tenrou Island! "What's going on? This terrifying magic power!" Juvia was a little shocked: "It's very close to the demons we fought before! Is this really something that humans can do?!" "This is Gildarts." Gray had a complicated expression: "Natsu, you have to hold on." Natsu and Lucy both exploded with magic power just now, and now Gildarts also exploded with magic power. Obviously, this group was the most unlucky to meet Gildas.
