"The match will last for thirty minutes."
The pumpkin mascot spoke as Mirajane and Jura arrived at the center of the arena.
They took their positions.
Magical screens appeared in the sky.
Everyone could now view the battle from every angle.
"So, the first match..."
The pumpkin mascot began his announcement.
Mirajane instantly used her Take Over magic and transformed into Majin Mira.
Jura bowed with his hands clasped together.
"Start!"
The moment the pumpkin mascot finished speaking, explosions erupted.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
The audience was stunned.
When the smoke cleared, Mirajane stood unharmed at Jura's original position.
Jura lay collapsed behind her.
"This... this..."
Chabadi stared at the arena.
The fight had ended in an instant.
He was so excited that he stammered.
"Instant kill! Instant kill!"
Chabati grabbed the microphone and stepped onto the table.
"Too strong! Fairy Tail is too strong! Jura, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, could not even defend himself! Majin Mira defeated him instantly!"
"Sister, sister, it's so scary."
"Sister, sister, she is Caesar's woman. It is normal for her to be scary."
Heidi and Santi trembled as they remembered their fight with Caesar.
Just like then, they had been completely overwhelmed.
Absolute defeat.
The members of Snake Scale stared wide-eyed at Jura.
He was unconscious on the ground.
Mirajane stood calmly with not a scratch on her.
President Obana Barbasoma twirled her fingers.
"A monster! This is a monster comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings! Just how strong is Fairy Tail?!"
"Okay! Now that the footage has been captured, let's play it back on the big screen! We will use ten-times slow motion!"
Chabadi spoke as the magic screen replayed the fight.
The speed slowed enough for normal viewers to understand.
In the replay…
As soon as the mascot finished speaking, Mirajane and Jura rushed forward.
Jura used his Iron Pillars.
Mirajane did not dodge.
She waved her hand.
The Iron Pillars were swallowed by explosions and vanished.
Jura felt something was wrong.
He used Iron Wall.
But the next moment, an explosion blasted him away.
Mirajane passed by him.
More explosions engulfed Jura.
She arrived at the place he had once stood.
Jura collapsed unconscious.
Everyone watching could think of only one phrase.
Complete domination.
Jura's attacks and defenses were useless.
They were like paper before Mirajane's power.
The gap between them was overwhelming.
Everyone now understood how powerful Fairy Tail truly was.
"I'm sorry."
Mirajane ended her Take Over and smiled gently.
She returned to her team.
Fairy Tail cheered loudly.
Their points finally reached ten.
They were now tied with Mermaid Heel.
Jura was carried off for treatment.
The second fight soon began.
Oga Nanagil of Saber-toothed Tiger fought Ichiya Vandre Toshi of Blue Pegasus.
There was nothing to say about this match.
Oga crushed Ichiya completely.
Saber-toothed Tiger revealed its fangs.
The third match began.
Reese from Mermaid Heel faced Semus from Four-Headed Hound.
Reese used gravity magic.
Semus collapsed to the ground instantly.
Next was Sirius Fang versus Colorful Unicorn.
Two weak teams battling each other.
Not worth mentioning.
The scores after the first day were announced.
Mermaid Heel: 20Saber-toothed Tiger: 18Colored Unicorn: 12Fairy Tail: 10Blue Pegasus: 6Boa Hancock Scale: 4Four-Headed Hounds: 3Sirius Fang: 1
Fairy Tail was in fourth place.
A bit disappointing.
But as long as the competitions were normal and not strange gimmicks like yesterday, Fairy Tail would catch up easily.
Caesar was confident.
However, when he learned the next day's competition in advance, he felt uneasy.
Day 2 Competition: Sky.
Taken literally, they needed Wendy, the Sky Dragon Slayer.
Worst case, if the opponents used a flying vehicle, Wendy would be finished.
After what happened to Natsu, everyone felt nervous.
They were not afraid of strong opponents.
They were afraid of vehicles.
Every Dragon Slayer would lose instantly.
"How about I go?"
Gerard raised his hand.
His celestial magic was excellent in aerial combat.
If Gerard fought, victory was possible.
Everyone agreed.
But Wendy stepped forward.
"Brother Caesar, I want to try. I won't lose."
Seeing her determination, Caesar laughed and patted her head.
"Don't be so serious. Even if we don't get first place, it won't affect the guild."
"It does! That is two million J!"
Natsu and Gajeel spoke at the same time.
Wendy instantly tensed again.
Everyone glared at the two of them.
They shut up and hid.
"Relax. Our goal is to be number one, but I don't want that to pressure you."
Caesar patted Wendy's head.
"Think of it as a game. Have fun. No regrets. Understand?"
"Okay!"
Everyone cheered.
Wendy finally relaxed.
Seeing this, Caesar made the decision.
Wendy would participate in the Sky event.
Gerard accepted the decision and supported Wendy.
Everyone encouraged her.
They told her to enjoy the event and not pressure herself.
After all, they were Fairy Tail.
Being number one barely affected the guild at all.
