Chapter 68: The faintly collapsing Tenrou Island and the awakening of the first president Mavis
"Natsu, go home!"
"The battle is completely over..."
"But Natsu, don't be discouraged, you are still very young..."
After Habi discovered that the examiner of this passage was Ian, he seemed to have awakened the ability to predict the future like Xia Lulu, and saw Natsu's desperate future...
As a result, Habi obediently packed all his luggage and advised Natsu: "If we fail the exam this year, we can continue to participate in the S-class magician exam held by the guild next year. As long as we don't meet Ian or Natsu next year. Gildarts, there is still hope for us.”
"Yes, Natsu."
"Just like Hubby said, go home quickly."
Ian said while wrapping his arms around himself and looking at Natsu seemingly absentmindedly.
"Hey, Hubby..."
"You said you want me to go home before the fight?"
"Stop joking here..."
"How could I just give up?!"
"No need for next year, I will show it to you this year..."
As Natsu spoke, he started doing warm-up exercises. He gently moved his neck, wrists and ankles, making a crisp sound of "crack, pop", and looked at Yi in front of him with burning eyes. Well, my heart is full of excitement.
If he gives up without a challenge, he will never be willing to give up. If you don't challenge yourself, you will never know how big the gap is between you and Ian and others? ! Now that he is here, he must be worthy of his restless heart.
"It's burning."
As Natsu spoke, blazing flames appeared around his body...
The blazing flames transformed Natsu into a burning man.
"I'm going to fuck..."
"Ian, you'd better be careful when facing my fists!"
Then, Natsu did not forget to remind Ian that he must be careful with his fists. Then he used his feet to jump up from the ground, and rushed in front of Ian with the downward inertia in mid-air. , punched Ian hard in the face, and shouted at the same time: "Take my move, the iron fist of the fire dragon!"
"Iron Fist?"
"Why didn't I see it?"
"Such a soft fist, rather than saying it is an iron fist, it is better to rename it Xiaodou Bao."
When Natsu's fist was so close that Ian felt the heat wave, he raised a finger and pointed towards Natsu.
"Boom!"
Just because Ian was so light and light, he pointed his finger in the air without any force at all, and the massive gravity pressed horizontally on Natsu's body, clearing the air around Natsu, blocking oxygen and extinguishing it at the same time. The flames wrapped around Natsu.
"..."
After Natsu discovered that no matter how much magic he mobilized, he couldn't use fire magic at all. His pupils were filled with panic. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but found that he was currently in a vacuum and could not speak at all.
"The flame disappeared?"
In the end, Habi, who was Natsu's mouthpiece, looked at everything in front of him at a loss and spoke in confusion.
"Yeah, the flame disappeared because there was a vacuum."
Ian explained, then he pointed his hand and patted Natsu's chest.
"Whoops..."
Natsu, who was originally fixed in front of him by Ian using gravity magic and unable to move, only felt a pain in his chest and his eyes were stuffy...
By the time he reacted, his body was already like a cannonball, piercing the air, forming a straight line, smashing through the wall behind him, and returning to the hole he came from.
"Natsu OUT!"
The moment Natsu was ejected from the hole by Ian, a voice resounded throughout the island, announcing Natsu's failure.
"Ah..."
"I accidentally used too much force."
"Happy, why don't you go check on Natsu's safety?"
After Ian blasted Natsu away, he did not forget to remind Habi in the cave.
"Love!"
Hubby nodded gently, spread his small wings, and slowly flew out of the cave.
Outside the channel.
"How could I fail like this?"
"Let me take the test again, just once..."
Natsu was in an extremely embarrassed state at the moment...
However, the gravity wall that Ian had placed around him in order to clear the air around him saved his life at the critical moment, so apart from looking embarrassed, he did not suffer much damage.
When Natsu heard that his elimination words had resounded throughout the island, he roared angrily, with an unconvinced look on his face, and stood up from the soft beach where he was lying, casually shaking off the sand attached to the surface. , then flew towards Ian's hole and rushed towards it again.
"Touch!"
However, when Natsu actually reached Ian's passage, he had not yet entered it! Then I heard a loud noise...
Natsu slammed into the magic wall that Makarov had set up outside every hole.
"Damn it, let me in!"
"I'm so angry that I can still continue to fight..."
At this moment, Natsu was like a cat with its teeth and claws, scratching and roaring at the translucent wall that could not be clearly seen with the naked eye.
"This wall of spells was written just to deal with people like you."
Not far away from Natsu, Makarov came leisurely and said with a smile while fanning the feather fan in his hand.
"President, I can continue to fight!"
"Hurry up and let me in..."
When Natsu heard the sound, he turned to look at Makarov, who had arrived belatedly. He seemed to have seen his savior, and quickly begged Makarov loudly to let him enter the passage where Ian was.
"Can you still fight? What do you use to fight?"
"If Ian hadn't let off the steam, that blow just now would have been enough to break you to pieces."
Makarov looked at Natsu and warned in a deep voice.
"No..."
"I still have my secrets that I haven't used yet."
Natsu shook his head, looking stubborn.
"You kid..."
Makarov was a little helpless. Just when he was about to further dissuade him, he seemed to feel something. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Natsu, feel the changes in the atmosphere! Not everyone is the same. Ian is so gentle and kind.”
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Natsu immediately closed his eyes tightly as Makarov said, feeling the restless magic in the air.
"Atmosphere! Earth! Ocean! Sky..."
"Everyone is getting restless at this moment. What happened?!"
Natsu had cold sweat on his forehead and looked nervous.
other side.
in the passage of other examinees.
Erza and Elle met Kana and Lisanna in the passage.
"Ailei, you don't need to take action..."
"It's enough to leave it to me alone."
Erza said, pulling out the knight's sword from her waist and walking towards Kana and Lisanna alone.
“It’s really the worst possible outcome.”
Kana frowned as she looked at Erza, who exuded a powerful magical aura, and the unfathomable Airei, who was standing not far from Erza.
Originally, Kana and Lisana collaborated with Urrutia and Lucky...
First, Lisanna, who can receive the souls of animals and birds, transformed into a big bird and took Urrutia to fly to Sirius Island. She then used the anti-gravity magic card prepared in advance to take Lucky with her. flew over.
The conditions for cooperation are...
If Kana and Lisanna encounter Urrutia and Lucky's team in the cave, Urrutia will be appropriately cautious when facing them.
If they all successfully pass the first level, they will first cooperate to eliminate all members of other teams, and then compete internally.
Unfortunately, the original cooperation was no longer useful.
Kana met the Fairy Tail guild, the most unlikely woman to let loose.
"Lisanna handles it carefully..."
Kana glanced at Lisanna, who was trembling with nervousness, and reminded her.
"Okay, okay..."
Lisanna nodded slightly, facing Erza who could rival her sister Mirajane, and even had the upper hand in the fight...
Deep down in Lisanna's heart, she really had no idea at all.
Now that she was facing Erza, Lisanna felt even more faintly afraid...
There is probably no one in this world who understands Sister Mirajane's strength better than she does, and Sister Erza is still above it.
To be honest, her legs were starting to weaken at the moment, and she was only holding on to her faith.
"Boom!"
At the same moment when Lisanna turned her head and gave Kana a reassuring look, Erza, who had originally drawn her knight's sword, had already cut through the air, like a crimson ghost, and came to Lisana's body. side.
"Receive·Animal Soul..."
Lisanna's expression suddenly changed, and she directly activated the receiving magic without any hesitation.
"It's too late."
Unfortunately, Erza had no intention of giving Lisanna a chance to breathe...
I saw that she kicked Lisanna in the lower abdomen, kicking the delicate and lovely Lisanna away, hitting the wall of a nearby cave, and immediately fainted. In fact, Erza stopped this attack. She only used the power of her body, not to mention the dressing magic or additional magic. She didn't even mobilize the most basic magic power.
"Lisanna!"
Kana looked at Lisanna who was kicked away by Erza and fainted. She looked obviously panicked. She subconsciously took out the cards in her pocket, but she was too nervous. , shaking his hands, the cards immediately scattered to the ground.
"Kana, you are too nervous."
"You are obviously very powerful..."
"In terms of mentality, you still need to practice more."
Just when Kana leaned over to pick up the scattered cards, Erza's knight sword was already placed on her neck.
"I lost."
Kana felt the biting coldness on her neck. She fell to the ground with a 'plop', and tears flowed out...
This year, she seemed to have lost the Fairy Tail Guild's S-class mage assessment. It was clear that in terms of magic power, she was the second-best S-class candidate this year, second only to Erza, Lacusus, Urrutia, and Mi. Raj's fifth player, as a median player, was still very likely to advance, but in the end she ended up like this. She was killed instantly without even being able to show her abilities.
"Kana, don't cry, don't cry..."
"Be good! It's really okay. In fact, you are undoubtedly S-level in terms of magic power. All of us can see your efforts these days..."
"You are just in actual combat..."
"Especially when facing an enemy who is stronger than you, your mentality is not stable enough."
"After this assessment is over, I will help you with the actual combat."
"So it's better to wake up!"
Erza looked at Kana who was kneeling and crying, her expression softened, she silently put the knight sword back into the scabbard, and knelt on one knee in front of Kana...
Just like her mother, Irene, who comforted her at the beginning, she held Kana in her arms, silently caressed the back of Kana's head, and spoke softly.
"Woooo..."
"Erza, why are you always so gentle?"
"It makes me a little embarrassed and can't continue to be sad."
"Also...it's so hard."
Kana's mood gradually stabilized under Erza's comfort. She leaned on Erza's chest and silently complained about Erza's extremely hard breastplate.
"Woooooooo..."
"Sister Erza, it hurts so much when you kicked me just now. I want to hug you too."
Lisanna, who woke up at this time, also hugged Erza...
Hey hey hey!
She was the one who was beaten unilaterally, right? !
She is the one who needs comforting the most, right? !
For a time, the atmosphere in the passage was infinitely good...
But other channels are not so lucky.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
"Gildarts' strength is unfathomable."
"I'm sorry Lacusus, I'm afraid I have to stop here..."
"The rest is up to you alone."
In the passage where Lacusus went, Fried lay on the ground and fainted completely before he finished speaking.
Lacusus was left alone, facing the extremely powerful orange-haired uncle in front of him.
"Hey! Uncle, are you the monster from there?"
Lacusus gasped. After a year of hard work by Ian, he believed that he had reached the threshold of the 'Holy Ten' in terms of his 'mind, skills, body' and even the most basic magic power. With a little chance, you can break through this threshold and reach the ranks of the top powerhouses in the Ishgar continent...
However, his strength has reached the quasi-'Holy Ten' level, and he joins forces with Fried, the magician who holds the so-called absolute rules. As long as he successfully writes down the rules, no matter who he is, he must abide by them. Even though he tried his best, Gildarts in front of him could not move even one step in the cave.
In other words...
Without moving a muscle, Gildarts defeated Lacusus and Freed who had joined forces.
"Hey, Lacusus has beaten you to this extent, do you still want to continue?"
Gildarts was wearing a cloak, his feet were rooted in the earth, looking at the embarrassed Lacusus, and asked aloud.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Uncle!"
Lacusus hammered the ground hard, and his body once again erupted with thunder that resounded non-stop. He staggered up from the ground and said coldly.
"Lakusus, with your current strength, you are fully qualified to be the guild's S-class mage. In other words, it's not impossible for me to just let you go now..."
Gildarts saw that Lacusus did not attack, so he started talking to himself.
"Are you kidding me?"
"How can I move forward if I don't defeat you here?"
Lacusus was resolute. In his opinion, if he did not defeat Gildarts here and move on, then this victory would be meaningless.
"Really?"
"I thought you would think so..."
"But Lacusus, you have to remember that there are people in this world, and there is heaven in the sky!"
"If you encounter any enemy and rush over without thinking, you will definitely die in a certain mission..."
When Gildas said this, he suddenly recalled the heartfelt panic he felt when he faced Eileen and Selene...
If he had not accepted Ian's persuasion earlier and had gone on to complete the century-old mission on his own, he might have been buried in a foreign land like countless warriors who had failed to challenge the century-old mission in the past hundred years, right? !
Thinking of this, Gildarts decided to teach Lacusus one thing, what is fear? !
"Since you are determined to challenge me, Lacusus, let me have a good feel for what the difference in strength is, right?!"
Gildarts said, his brows furrowed tightly. At this moment, the terrifying magic power roared out of his body like a turbulent wave, like an Optimus Pillar, breaking through the cave above his head and rushing towards The sky was bright and clear, and slowly spread in all directions. The aftermath of the magic power covered the entire Tianlang Island in an instant.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, amidst bursts of roaring sounds, the entire island began to shake.
"So scary..."
At this time, Natsu, who had been rejected by Ian, was half-kneeling on the ground, feeling the trembling of Tenrou Island and the roaring magic like the ocean, and opened his mouth in shock.
"Now, do you want to go in and challenge Ian?"
Makarov put his hands behind his back, looking at Natsu who seemed to be frightened and stared at the soaring magic power, and asked aloud.
"Are the other passages so intense?"
Kana and Lisanna, who were originally defeated, felt the magic power coming towards them and frightened the atmosphere. They suddenly felt a little lucky that they only met Erza and not anyone else.
The other people across the passage were so shocked and panicked, let alone Lacusus who was facing Gildarts...
"This is..."
When Lacusus faced Gildarts who was going all out, he finally understood the so-called strength gap. Gildarts, wrapped in magic power in front of him, was as frightening as a demon.
"It seems that my strength is still somewhat insufficient."
Lacusus was helpless, he knelt down on one knee and shook his head.
"No, you are qualified..."
Gildarts looked at Lacusus who retreated despite the difficulties, and finally showed a smile.
What is the most important thing for a professional mage? !
honor? status? right? strength? Or money?
No, none of these...
For magisters like them who dance on the tip of a knife, there is always only one most important thing, and that is life.
Everyone has only one life, no one can mess with it...
other side.
"It seems that we have to be a little more serious."
In the passage between Warod Zinken and Uru Milkovich, they both became serious at the same moment when they felt the magic released by Gildarts.
Suddenly, two more shocking magical powers shot up into the sky!
The magic powers of Uru, Warrod, and Gildarts were wrapped together, causing the entire Sirius Island to tilt at this moment...
By the way, Warrod met Urrudia and Lucky Aulietta...
Uru met Mirajane and Elfman.
Yes, the teams of Gray and Bigusro as well as Leon and Wo Lian met in the passage of fierce battle. Although the comprehensive strength of their two teams was definitely higher among all the teams participating in the S-class magister assessment. It's ranked last. But at this moment, no matter what, one of their two teams has already locked in a spot to advance to the second round.
Well, the Fairy Tail Guild's S-class magister assessment is like this, full of unknowns, just like everyone's life...
It has never been the case. If you are strong, you will definitely be able to break out of the siege!
According to Makarov, luck is also a part of strength.
"Boom..."
Under the magic power of everyone, Tianlang Island began to tilt...
On the island, the birds dispersed, and frightened birds flew out of the woods and soared into the sky!
Next to the giant tree on Tianrou Island, there is a monster that is dozens of meters long and close to S-level in strength. It was originally captured by Makarov and served as the boss of the second level of this year's S-level mage assessment. It is spinning around in panic at the moment. Obviously he has completely lost his way and doesn't know where to run! Because in its eyes, everything around him at this moment is extremely dangerous.
"Ah..."
"Are you going to demolish Tianlang Island?!"
"Asshole, stop it quickly!"
"Senior Warrod, why are you messing around with these kids?"
Mrs. Makaro was completely numb. You must know that this Tianlang Island is not an ordinary island.
It is not only the holy land of Fairy Tail Guild, but also the graveyard of the first guild leader Mavis. Are you making such a fuss next to someone else’s graveyard?
Are you worthy of Master Mavis?
Just when Makarov was in a panic...
There is a stone monument somewhere on Tenrou Island, and in the center is the grave of Mavis, the first president of the Fairy Tail Guild, which seems to be burning with flames that are constantly beating like life.
A girl wearing a white dress, with cute little angel wings on her head, and bare feet stretched out and slowly woke up.
“I really had a good sleep~”
That barefoot girl was exactly what Makarov had been thinking about, the first president of the Guild, Mebis. After Mebis woke up, she felt the restless magic in the air, her eyes brightened slightly, and she murmured to herself: " Is this the magic power of the current members of the Fairy Tail Guild? "
"It seems that during the years I have been sleeping, the Fairy Tail Guild has grown to be as powerful as I expected during my lifetime. That's great!"
Well, the first generation president did not run out of the grave because of the anger of the Fairy Tail crowd as Makarov feared. The reason why she woke up from the graveyard was simply because she wanted to communicate with the Fairy Tail crowd present. , just have a party together~
