Gerald and Kagura walked to the center of the venue.Their figures appeared on the floating magic screens.
Start.
The pumpkin mascot announced the battle.He watched nervously, afraid the fight would end instantly like yesterday.
But this time, he was disappointed.
The two stood still.Neither moved.Kagura spoke first.
Gerald, Simon is my brother.
I heard him tell Erza.
Gerald nodded.He still did not attack.
I loathe you.
Kagura lifted her sword of vengeance.Because of you, my brother suffered so much.And because of you, the person he cared about the most... never mind.I only wanted to say that.
The Blade of Vengeance fearless unsheathed.
Even if I lose to anyone else, I will never lose to you.
With a swift draw, Kagura slashed at Gerald.
Gravity Blade.
Meteor.
Gerald used high speed movement to dodge.
The moment Kagura's blade passed, the ground where Gerald had stood was crushed by gravity.
Do not think about running.Gravity suppression.
Seeing Gerald escaping, Kagura released her full magic.A massive magic circle appeared in the sky.Terrifying gravity fell across the entire field and slowed Gerald instantly.
Slash Form.
Kagura struck in the moment Gerald paused.
I am sorry.I am not the same person I used to be.
As the blade drew close, Gerald said,For Erza. For the guild.I cannot lose.I am a Fairy Tail mage now.
With a flick of his finger, Gerald pointed at Kagura.Magic gathered like a sword.
Nine Thunder Stars.
Nine large celestial lights shot out.They clashed with Kagura's blade almost instantly.
Kagura changed her sword path five times in a row.She deflected five stars in a blink.
But the remaining stars broke through her guard.They struck Kagura hard.
Kagura was blasted away.She hit the ground.Her sword dug into the earth to block the impact.
Ignoring her torn clothes, she rushed at Gerald again.
Kagura is improving fast.
Erza stood beside Caesar.She watched Gerald force Kagura to use Six Stars and still break through it.
It seems Gerald will have a harder time winning.
It is troublesome, but Gerald can beat Kagura.
Caesar watched Gerald get pushed back.He said,He still feels guilty.Guilty toward Simon and the others.Kagura is Simon's sister.Gerald will not go all out.If he did, Nine Thunder Stars would have already ended it.
True.
Erza nodded.
Caesar looked at Erza.Why do you not cheer for him.Maybe he will stop holding back.
Me.
Erza blushed.She suddenly remembered what Gerald told her before the games.
Erza, with the prize money after I win the Grand Magic Tournament, I want to buy you a wedding dress.A dress just for you.
Looking back, that was a confession.It was definitely a confession.
Erza turned even redder.Steam rose from her head.
Caesar looked confused.It was just cheering.Why did she react like this.
Erza took deep breaths.She calmed herself.
Watching Gerald and Kagura clash, Erza cupped her hands around her mouth.
Jellal.Keep going.Do not forget.You have to buy me clothes.
Erza.
Kagura glanced at the sound.
Erza.
Gerald's eyes sharpened.All hesitation vanished.
He pressed his hands together.He said to Kagura,I am sorry.But I have a reason I cannot lose.So I am sorry.
I will never lose to you.
Kagura roared.Fearless.Gravity Blade.
True Celestial Magic.Starfall.
Gerald leaned to one side.His left hand pressed the ground.His right hand pointed to the sky.Magic surged upward.A huge meteor formed above them and fell straight at Kagura.
Break it.
Kagura reversed her blade.The gravity blade smashed into the falling meteor.
She gave all her strength.But the meteor pushed harder.Her feet carved two deep grooves across the floor.
Goodbye.
Gerald released the last surge of magic.The meteor crushed Kagura.
Boom.
Light burst like a new sun.Kagura was knocked unconscious in one hit.
Gerald held back.Otherwise the attack could have destroyed her completely.
Oh.What amazing magic.Kagura of Mermaid Heel has been defeated.
Chabadi shouted,This is Fairy Tail.Is this the power of the number one magic guild in Fiore.Who can defeat them.
Nobody.
Caesar's voice echoed through the venue.This is Fairy Tail.An unstoppable guild.
The crowd exploded in excitement.Cheers filled the arena.Fairy Tail proved they were still the strongest guild in Fiore.
Oh my.Caesar is not reserved at all.
Bob of Blue Pegasus stroked his face and smiled.But those words were cool.
WILD FOUR.
Goldman of the Four Headed Hound raised his hands and laughed.This is the real Fairy Tail.
In Boa Hancock's Scale, Granny Obana frowned at Fairy Tail.She looked at Jura wrapped in bandages.
Jura, can you beat that man.
It is difficult.
Jura smiled bitterly.This guild is messy.But they are absurdly strong.
Inside Mermaid Heel, the women looked at Fairy Tail.They smiled.What a show off.
At Saber Toothed Tiger,Germain looked at Caesar's bold attitude and fell silent.
Under his rule, Saber Toothed Tiger threw away the weak.They absorbed the strong.They climbed to this stage.
But it is not over.
Germain clenched his fist.One day, the tiger will tear the fairy apart and devour it.My Saber Toothed Tiger will be the strongest.My guild will be number one in Fiore.
