On the other hand, some guild members wanted to attack Finn and others after seeing that they were members of Fairy Tail.
But these small fries could all be knocked down by Gajeel alone.
After about half an hour, Finn and others arrived at the finish line.
In front of the door at the finish line.
The short pumpkin man was constantly clapping his hands, congratulating Finn and others.
"Fairy Tail Team B, congratulations on passing the preliminaries," the pumpkin man said.
"It wasn't that difficult," Gajeel tightened his fist and laughed.
Juvia looked around and didn't see anyone else, and said with some confusion: "Could it be that we are the first place?"
The pumpkin man shook his head.
"Then what place did we arrive at?" Laxus asked.
Everyone's curious gazes were on the pumpkin man.
"Although it's not the first place, your results are also very good, it's the second place," the pumpkin man replied.
However, Gajeel said with some displeasure: "If it's not the first place, what's the difference between it and the last place?"
Finn smiled and patted Gajeel on the shoulder.
"Well, the ranking in the preliminaries doesn't matter, some special magic can directly lock the location of the venue, it's not difficult to understand why they're faster."
Saying this, Finn paused and said half-jokingly: "Of course, if you hadn't stopped me at that time, and I directly destroyed the entire maze, we could have taken the first place."
"Hey… if that's the case, then we wouldn't have to compete… what's the point of you directly killing everyone?"
Gajeel complained weakly. Listening to everyone's discussion, the pumpkin man had black lines all over his head.
"I said… I'm the organizer here, is it really okay for you to discuss this…"
After complaining for a while, the pumpkin man returned to normal.
After all, he didn't think that anyone could really destroy such a large aerial maze.
He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, now that everyone has passed the preliminaries, then please go down and rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition."
Everyone nodded and stepped over the door.
————
The Grand Magic Games preliminary round ended close to midnight.
Since the official competition would have to wait until daytime to begin.
So the teams that passed the preliminaries returned to their accommodation to rest, in order to cope with the next competition.
And in the B team's accommodation.
Laxus, Juvia, and Gajeel were gathered in the living room, waiting for the final news from Team A.
"Ah, Gray-sama must pass the preliminaries!" Juvia kept muttering.
Gajeel put his hands behind his head, and leaned on the raised chair in a very casual manner.
He looked at Juvia and showed a smile, "Don't worry, how could those guys not even pass the preliminaries."
Laxus, who was standing on the balcony, also agreed with a face full of approval, "After all, Erza and Natsu Gray are not weak."
"But… Juvia is still worried!" Juvia bit her handkerchief, her expression very nervous.
After a while, Finn and Mirajane pushed the door open and walked in.
The two who had just returned from Makarov learned about the situation of Team A.
Looking at the two, Laxus returned to the living room and asked: "How is it, did they pass?"
Finn nodded, "Ah, they successfully advanced, but they were a bit unlucky, seventh place."
Seeing this, the few were relieved.
"It's good that they advanced, it's just that those guys are really swift" Gajeel laughed.
Laxus said indifferently: "After all, the preliminary round is not a place to test strength, it's enough to pass."
Juvia was also full of excitement: "That's right, in this way Juvia can upright defeat Team A, and then…"
Looking at Juvia's fan-like smile, Mirajane was a little trembling with fear.
"The current Juvia seems to have become very scary…"
Finn clapped his hands, "Now that both of our teams have successfully advanced, then next we will work hard towards the first and second place in the tournament!"
He looked at everyone: "Our goal is to step on all the guilds!"
Laxus showed a smile: "Is there any need to say that, we must be the first!"
"Alright, now that the results have come out, everyone should rest early, we have to get up early tomorrow."
After a brief conversation, everyone returned to their rooms to rest, preparing for the next day's competition.
————
Time came to the next day.
As the Grand Magic Games arena [The Domus Flau], this was a super venue that could accommodate more than 100,000 spectators.
Four extremely huge statues holding swords and scepters stood around the venue.
Countless brightly colored balloons flew up from the venue, accompanied by fireworks rising into the air, and then exploded loudly.
The marching band also played cheerful music at this time.
The cheers of the audience also resounded throughout this huge venue.
It also reached the ears of all the participants who were about to enter the arena.
Eight channels were opened in the entire venue to lead to the center of the venue, which were used by the eight teams that passed the preliminaries.
Above the channels were the viewing seats for the participants.
In addition to this, the organizers would also provide a cheering platform with a good view for each guild that passed the preliminaries.
Inside the channel belonging to Fairy Tail Team B.
Everyone had changed into a uniform with a unified black tone.
The Fairy Tail emblem was engraved on the chest of the clothes.
Mirajane was still tidying up Finn's clothes.
"Actually, I think it's okay," Finn said softly.
"Wait, there are still some wrinkles on the collar," Mirajane ignored Finn's words.
She continued the movements in her hands on her own.
"After all, it's time to show yourself in front of countless people in a while, how can we be careless."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Laxus was a little speechless.
"Speaking of which, we have been eating dog food since we formed a team…"
"Well, just get used to it," Gajeel shrugged indifferently.
However, listening to the bursts of cheers coming from outside, Gajeel's mouth raised a smile.
"It's very lively outside," He murmured softly.
"After all, it's the once-a-year festival, a grand event related to the entire Fiore Kingdom," Juvia said with a smile.
"It's a pity, at present, these cheers are not for us," Laxus said, leaning against the wall.
Finn, who had tidied up his collar, came to the front, his gaze staring straight at the end of the channel.
"However, it will be later, cheers and respect are won back by ourselves!"
He clenched his fist, his eyes full of fighting spirit!
"Everyone, the once-a-year magic world festival, the Grand Magic Games is about to usher in its opening!"
As the host shouted, the cheers of the audience also resounded through the sky.
"I'm Jabadi Lola, who is responsible for the live reporting!" The host with a head of black and beautiful hair and a square face introduced himself.
"At the same time, we are also fortunate to invite former council member Mr. Yajima to explain to everyone!"
Jabadi looked at the old man in a chef's costume next to him and said: "Mr. Yajima, please give me your advice."
"Please give me your advice." Yajima responded.
Yajima was the only council member who voted against it in the Tower of Paradise incident.
He was also a long-time friend of Makarov and a former member of Fairy Tail.
Jabadi continued to look at the figure next to Yajima: "The guest who came today on the first day is, Miss Jenny Realight of Blue Pegasus, who was elected Miss Fiore!"
"Let's welcome her!"
As the guest invited on the first day, Jenny also raised her hands slightly, and smiled brightly to cheer for her guild.
"Our guild will definitely win this year!"
After the introduction of the commentators, the next step was the entry of the participants.
Jabadi raised the microphone, his tone passionate.
"Everyone, the time for the players to enter the arena has arrived!"
He looked at the channel and shouted: "First to enter is the guild that placed eighth in the preliminary round…"
"The hellish hound legion - Quatro Cerberus!"
The group from Quatro Cerberus slowly walked out of the channel, shouting "Wild~~" in their mouths.
