Chapter 229, Demon Fighting Martial Arts
“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 said with emotion.
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, how well do your two magics merge?" 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 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 joy. 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 members of Team A." Laxus glanced at Elfman and said, "There is also a substitute, 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." She couldn't help but become shy when talking about this kind of problem, 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 alone."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"Well -" Melty smiled: "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 power of Fairy Tail!"
"Oh—" Everyone felt weak. They had been in the car for too long and were very tired.
"Hey, were they talking about Fairy Tail just now?" A passerby asked in surprise: "It's the guild where the angel girl belongs."
"It's some strangers," said another.
"Where's the saint?"
"There are two girls with white hair, but they don't look alike."
Passers-by seemed to be looking for something.
Everyone: "."
I've always known that Emily is a big star now, but it's really surprising that her fame has reached this level.
The saints have come out
This is because the church openly solicited Emily, and although she rejected it, everyone already recognized her as an angel descended into the world and the purest and kindest saint.
Everit was very proud. Although it was mostly due to Emily's own efforts, he was still very proud of having taught such a disciple.
Although passers-by were puzzled, they did not come around to ask questions.
"It's a pity." Makarov said: "In the past, our guild did not have enough people. With only Emily, it would be difficult to support it. Otherwise, we would always be number one."
Although Urrudia and the others are almost guild members, they are not members of Fairy Tail.
They felt embarrassed, after all, they had been enemies and had brought pain to everyone in Fairy Tail.
Therefore, they did not participate in the previous big magic fights. Only Emily could hold on, but due to the rules, she could not help the guild get first place.
"However." Laxus said: "From now on, we will be the first!"
"oh!"
Natsu, who had regained some strength, responded loudly.
"Ahem." Makarov said: "Attention, the competition will be held tomorrow, but the rules say that you must be in the hotel at twelve o'clock tonight, so today everyone restrains themselves, eats early and goes back to the hotel to rest and recuperate. Spirit, don't be eliminated at the beginning.”
"Of course, old man, what are you talking about that is impossible?" Natsu said.
"Don't be complacent," Makarov warned.
"I know." Natsu replied casually.
"Now, let's go to the hotel to put our luggage." Makarov said.
Everyone arrived at the booked hotel.
Depending on the team, rooms are assigned.
After everyone put down their luggage, everyone did their own thing.
Most people have not been to the royal capital yet.
The Kingdom of Fiore has many magicians and powerful magic, so its infrastructure is very powerful.
Especially the royal capital, not to mention.
It is much larger and more prosperous than the royal capitals of the Kingdom of Edras and the Kingdom of Sirashi.
Various unseen magic props made everyone empty their wallets before they had time to save up.
There are also a lot of magicians, after all, this is a magic event.
There are also various tourists and so on.
The streets are packed with people.
Everit had been here many times. He had no intention of hanging around, but took Ikaruga with him to the busy city—
Perform magic!
free!
This place tonight is his most shining stage!
