Chapter 723: Fairy Tail Civil War (Second Update)
Chapter 723: Fairy Tail Civil War (Second Update)
On the morning of October 6, X784, in the Fairy Tail Guild Hall.
The guild hall, which is usually filled with alcohol and chairs, had been completely cleared out and decorated with various exquisite Magic Ornaments.
A particularly grand stage had been set up in the center of the hall.
At the center of the stage, a mage wearing a purple suit and sporting a melon-head hairstyle was holding a microphone and giving the opening remarks for the competition:
"Welcome to the Most Beautiful Mage Contest of Fairy Tail! I am today's host, the Sand Mage, Makos!"
As soon as Makos finished speaking, the audience erupted into a flurry of applause and cheers.
Besides most of the mages from Fairy Tail, many ordinary citizens from the town had also come to witness the Most Beautiful Mage Contest.
Thus, the area below the stage was packed with people, with at least a few thousand gathered.
To accommodate the large crowd, Jerry had cast an Invisible Expansion Spell on the hall, increasing its spatial capacity tenfold to prevent any unnecessary accidents due to the large number of spectators.
"Today, in addition to our beautiful contestants, we have four very important referees.
They are the First Master of Fairy Tail, Mavis, the Second Master, Precht, the Third Master, Makarov, and the youngest and most capable Fourth Master, Jerry!"
As Makos introduced them, Mavis, Precht, Makarov, and Jerry all stood up and waved to the audience.
Jerry had initially refused to be a referee, as it held no significance for him and wouldn't enhance his strength.
However, with the three former Masters, Mavis, Precht, and Makarov, all agreeing to it, the current Fourth Master, Jerry, couldn't refuse.
Amidst thunderous applause, Jerry sat back down and began to watch the competition seriously.
Being thorough was his principle, and since he had become a referee, he would fulfill his duty. He would carefully observe each contestant and give the fairest score possible.
"Now, let's welcome our first contestant, Kana Alpeona, known for her Dimensional Stomach and Dimensional Charm!"
"Body score, swimsuit score, total eight points."
Jerry, watching Kana, who was wearing a swimsuit and biting a Magic card, gave her an eight.
"Next up, our second contestant, the gentle and kind-hearted Juvia Lockser, who possesses S-class strength!"
"Outfit score, aura score, total eight points."
Even though Juvia was dressed quite conservatively, her noblewoman attire and unique aura earned her an eight from Jerry.
After Juvia, it was the turn of Mirajane Strauss, the reigning champion of the Fairy Miss contest and a highly renowned figure in Ishgal.
Mirajane's entrance sent the atmosphere to a fever pitch. Her beauty, figure, and aura almost made Jerry give her a perfect ten.
However, he ultimately gave her a nine because of her special Transformation Magic performance during the Charm Showcase.
Could you imagine Mirajane with a head like Happy's or Gajeel's?
Although Jerry believed that Mirajane was intentionally trying to let the title go to Kana and Lucy, who desperately needed the 500,000 jewel prize, he had to ensure fairness as a referee.
Following Mirajane was the formidable Fairy Queen, Erza, in her imposing armor.
"Transformation!"
During the Charm Showcase, Erza shockingly changed her usual cold and stern armor into a black Gothic Lolita outfit.
The formidable Queen of Armor, Erza, suddenly transformed into a Gothic Lolita in black stockings, leaving the audience in a state of shock, with many spectators bleeding from their noses.
Even the usually calm Jerry silently gave her a perfect score.
Following Erza was the charming but penniless Levy, followed by Lucy, Ultear, the catgirl Mira, Wakaba, and Meldy.
Each contestant had their unique charm and style, leaving the audience emotionally stirred.
Just as all the participating female mages finished their presentations and lined up for the four referees to score and determine the final winner, an untimely voice suddenly echoed across the arena.
"Fairies are me, beauty is me, I represent everything, I am the Fairy. Let this boring contest end now!"
Ebisu, one of Laxus's subordinates from the Thunder God Tribe, clad in a long green dress and holding a palm fan, gracefully approached the stage, interrupting the final moments of the competition.
"Laxus is really bold!"
Seeing Ebisu appear, Jerry knew that Laxus had finally decided to start an internal conflict.
However, it was understandable.
During Jerry's several operations, Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe were away on S-class missions and were not present. They also weren't aware of the many new members who had joined Fairy Tail recently, as they had only returned the night before.
Most importantly, the Thunder God Tribe was indeed very powerful, especially when it came to planned ambushes. Even S-class mages could easily fall victim to their attacks. Laxus was particularly confident in his own strength.
"Ebisu, what are you doing!"
Before anyone could understand what Ebisu's sudden appearance was about, she had already removed her glasses and launched her Petrification Magic at the unprepared Erza and others.
In the blink of an eye, the ten female mages, including Erza, Lucy, and Mirajane, were all petrified into stone.
The ordinary spectators in the town, witnessing this, immediately fled the guild in terror.
Ebisu was particularly skilled in her Eye Petrification Magic. If someone met her gaze, even an S-class mage would find it difficult to escape petrification.
Of course, if one simply avoided looking into her eyes, the Petrification Magic would not take effect.
If Erza, Mirajane, Ultear, Wakaba, and Meldy had been on guard against their fellow Fairy Tail member Ebisu, any one of them could have easily defeated her.
"I advise you not to make any rash moves, or I won't hesitate to shatter them!"
Seeing Erza and the others petrified, the Fairy Tail mages were immediately on edge, ready to move in and force Ebisu to lift the Petrification Magic.
However, Laxus suddenly appeared, casting several lightning bolts near the petrified Erza and the others, threatening everyone not to make a move.
Fried and Bickslow, two other members of the Thunder God Tribe, also appeared behind Laxus.
Seeing Erza and the others petrified, and with Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe now present, Jerry remained seated, not moving an inch.
He knew that with the current strength of Fairy Tail, he didn't need to intervene personally. The internal conflict initiated by Laxus and his group would be quickly suppressed.
