Fairy Tail: Marrying the Dragon Slayer Queen Irene at the Beginning

Chapter 61 No Time to Be Sad! Next up is the S-Class Mage Assessment!

This harvest season carnival lasted until dawn the next day.

As the first ray of sunlight rose in the east, it shattered the darkness and fell on the earth.

The mages of the Fairy Tail Guild who presided over the parade floats, and the townspeople of Magnolia who stood on both sides of the street, cheering and discussing while enjoying the performances put on by the Fairy Tail Guild, returned home with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

“I really hope next year can come soon!”

"I wonder what the Fairy Tail wizards will come up with at the next Harvest Festival?! I'm really looking forward to it."

Many of the townspeople, from the moment the Harvest Festival ended, began to look forward to next year's Harvest Festival. They were curious, given the level of activity of the Fairy Tail Guild Magisters, what kind of wonderful performances would be presented at the next Harvest Festival? !
I'm afraid that by then, it might shock everyone again? !

However, some old people who lived in Magnolia Town and knew the character of the Fairy Tail Guild Magister very well, put their hands together and kept praying to God: "I really hope that the performances presented by the Fairy Tail Guild every year will be surprises, not shocks."

cough cough...

And just like that, the harvest festival passed quietly.

The time came to October 778, X.

There are only two months left until the Fairy Tail Guild's most important event of the year, the S-class magician examination.

Perhaps, for an ordinary magician, two months is a lot of time...

However, for the S-class mage candidates in the guild, these last two months are extremely urgent...

Especially those few who are recognized by the Fairy Tail guild members as the top seeds most likely to pass this year's S-class magician assessment.

noon.

After a night of partying, the members of Fairy Tail finally got up. They dragged their top-heavy bodies and walked into the gate of the Fairy Tail Guild.

As soon as everyone entered the door, they heard the endless quarreling coming from the gate of Fairy Tail Guild.

"Lacusas..."

"Those tasks in your hand were obviously the ones I picked out first."

Erza pointed at the mission sheet in Lacusas's hand and said angrily.

"Eruza, didn't anyone teach you that first come, first served?"

"It's no use just looking at them. All these task orders are posted on the bulletin board. Whoever gets them first gets them!"

Lacusas spoke proudly while holding a dozen A-level mission sheets in his hand.

"Damn it! You just relied on the unique speed of the lightning-attributed dragon-slaying magic you practiced to get the task list before me! What's there to be so proud of?"

Erza's face was puffed up with anger at Lacusas' words, and she spoke angrily.

"Eruza, don't you know?"

"Speed ​​is also an advantage..."

The corners of Lacusas' mouth rose slightly, and that annoying little expression made Erza grit her teeth.

"hateful……"

Erza was a little depressed. Her premonition had come true...

Back then, when Erza first met Lacusas, she anticipated that this annoying yellow-haired guy would snatch away her favorite task list, and now it has come true.

"Lacusas, you're going too far!"

"Did you complete all the A-rank subjugation missions by yourself?"

"At least give us some."

At this time, Mirajane also came to Lacusas' side and accused loudly.

"I'm sorry, Mirajane..."

"If it's a normal day, I wouldn't mind if I assigned you a few A-level missions."

"But unfortunately..."

"In order to prepare for the assessment in two months..."

“I’m not handing these assignments to anyone else.”

"In other words, Mirajane, you and I are now competitors."

Lacusas glanced at Mirajane beside him and gave a rare explanation.

"Damn it." Hearing this, Milajie stamped her feet vigorously and said irritably, "It seems that we can only rob it."

"Yeah, we can only rob it."

Urrutia, who had just joined the guild, found out that all the A-level missions of the guild had been taken by Lacusas. She, who was usually good-tempered, became a little more irritable.

"Then give it a try!"

"Let's see if you can snatch these task orders from me at your speed."

As Lacusas spoke, his body turned into a bolt of lightning, and in just a breath of time, he disappeared into the lobby on the first floor of the Fairy Tail Guild.

"Damn it, don't let him get away."

Erza, Mirajane and the others saw Lacusas trying to escape, their expressions suddenly changed, and they rushed out of the guild, surrounding and attacking Lacusas who had turned into lightning...

"What's going on?"

"Why are Erza, Lacusas and the others fighting in the middle of the day?"

As for the other magicians in the guild, they seemed to be completely confused. They looked at Lacusas and others who started fighting as soon as they entered the guild, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Isn't it the day soon for our guild to hold the S-level magician examination?"

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

"The person who passes the guild's S-class magician assessment this year will be chosen from Lacusas, Erza, Urtia, and Mirajane."

"So, Lacusas, Erza and the others are already arguing in advance..."

"Although the assessment will be held in two months, the battle for the guild's new S-class mage's identity has already begun."

In the end, Wakaba, who had been sitting at the bar since the beginning, drinking whiskey and smoking a cigar, explained to everyone in the guild with a serious face the specific reasons and circumstances behind the fight between Erza and the others.

"S-class magician assessment?!"

As Wakaba finished speaking, the faces of the magicians present in the guild changed.

"So, it's that day again, huh?!"

Makao said as he walked up to Wakaba with a serious face. He was always amiable and a good guy in the guild, but at this moment, there was a rare solemn look on his face.

"Yes……"

Upon hearing this, Wakaba snapped his fingers lightly and ordered a glass of whiskey for Makao as well.

"Ding~"

"Cheers to our cause~"

Makao took the whiskey with ice cubes floating on it, gently clinked it with the glass in Wakaba's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

then……

"Guys, let's start betting! Let's start betting!!"

"Who will be chosen by President Makarov to take the S-class magician exam this year?!"

"It's time for some divine predictions..."

As Wakaba talked to Makao, he took off his shirt and cheered loudly.

"Oh!!!"

Suddenly, the entire hall of the Fairy Tail Guild was filled with wolf howls.

At this time...

Makarov, the guild president, came out with a few specially invited poster girls, pushing a blackboard.

"Young men, please write down the names of the members you think can participate in this year's Fairy Tail Guild S-Class Mage Examination~"

Makarov had a profiteer's smile on his face, and he looked at the members of the guild as if they were a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

Sorry, there is no father and son at the table!

Only when you gamble...

He, Makarov, is not the father of the mages of the Fairy Tail Guild.

"I bet that Lacusas will be selected to participate in this year's guild's S-class magician assessment. I'll go all in first, brothers. The rest is up to you..."

"I bet 10,000 J on Lacusas too!"

"It has to be Lacusas!"

"Is Lacusas already a done deal?"

Almost all the magicians in the guild placed all their money on Lacusas.

Although Lacusas has a bad temper and is not talkative, there seems to be some gap between him and the members of the guild.

But no one in the entire Fairy Tail Guild thought that Lacusas could not be defeated.

You can say that Lacusas is difficult to get along with, but you can’t say that Lacusas is bad…

"Hey, hey, hey! You can't go all in on one person, you little bastards."

When Makarov saw that everyone present had placed their money on Lacusas, he frowned and scolded loudly.

Really, this made him want to do something to prevent Lacusas from participating in the S-level magician examination held by the guild this year. Ahem...

"I bet 20,000 J on Erza!"

"I'm betting on Erza too..."

"I bet five thousand J on Mirajane!"

"I bet 20,000 J on Urrutia!"

Following Makarov's voice, the choices of the mages in the guild began to become diversified. Everyone wrote down all the candidates who they thought had the potential to participate in the S-level mage assessment.

"I bet 10,000 J on Natsu!"

"Well, you have courage!"

"I bet Gray 20,000 J!"

"I bet five thousand Jacks on Elfman!"

Soon after, there were more and more different voices within the guild, and they began to choose some members who were less popular but also had certain strength.

After all, the possibilities for these people are very high. Once they are selected, the fewer people bet, the more they earn.

"I'm 3,000 J for Riddasu Jonnar!"

"No, brother, I really don't want to say you..."

"You can bet on an underdog because these underdogs with real talent can easily become upsets! But you can't bet on something too weird, right?!"

"You said, why don't you spend 3,000 J on a meal?"

"Why did you bet on a painter?!"

"If this were a painting competition, Riddasu Jonnar would definitely be No.1, but this is a competition that requires physical combat..."

As the nominated magicians became more and more biased, everyone in the guild was speechless.

Even Ridashul Jongna himself was stunned when he saw his name written on the nomination board. He said in confusion: "Ah? Me?! Participating in the S-class magician assessment? Competing with Lacusas and others?"

"I bet 500,000 J on Erza!"

Just when everyone was playing around, a discordant voice slowly rang out, shocking everyone present so much that they were speechless.

"hiss……"

"What, five hundred thousand J?!"

"Are you kidding? This is a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Even if Erza is your daughter, there's no need to stress about it, right?"

"We are just having fun, you are here to mess things up, right?"

When everyone heard this, they first gasped, then looked at the figure who slowly walked into the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, and murmured.

Yes, the person who came was naturally Ian who had just woken up.

"Ah woo~"

"Morning, President~"

"Let me see who everyone has chosen?"

Ian yawned and strode to the bar at the back of the guild. He first greeted Makarov, the guild leader, and then...

Only then did he look at the list of candidates that the Fairy Tail members thought would take part in this year's Fairy Tail S-Class Mage Assessment.

The names on the list include Lacusas, Erza, Ultear and Mirajane, four people recognized as powerful by everyone, followed by Natsu, Gray, Leon, Elfman, and Redux Jonner.

"what?"

Ian didn't expect that Ridasu Jonnar's name would appear on the list.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on..."

"Maybe it was a prank by a guild member?"

Riddasu Jonna shrugged helplessly. As an artist, a painter who could use magic, he was really not very interested in fighting.

"No Kana?"

Ian found that Kana's name was not on the list, so he picked up the chalk beside him, added Kana's name, and bet 10,000 J on Kana.

Well, in Ian's heart, Kana is absolutely worthy of the identity of an S-class magician seed. In terms of potential magical talent and physical potential, Kana is not much weaker than Mirajane and others.

Although, Kana will definitely not be able to get the S-rank position in the guild this year...

But it doesn’t mean that Kana will never have the opportunity to pass the assessment in the future.

Kana said: "Ian, thank you so much! You went through so much trouble to let me experience failure."

After Ian finished all this, he frowned tightly, rubbed his chin, and looked at the list of people in front of him, in a daze. He seemed to be thinking about something important.

"Ian..."

Makarov seemed to notice Ian's abnormality. He looked up at Ian, who was staring at the list of names, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"I just think so~"

"It seems that something crucial is missing from this person's list."

"But now I suddenly forgot a little bit and can't remember it for a moment..."

Ian frowned, rubbing his temple and thinking hard.

"Um?!"

"Do you think there is anyone missing from this list?"

Upon hearing this, Makarov turned his head and looked at the list of people beside him.

Honestly speaking, the names on the list of members who would take part in this year's S-class Mage Assessment, voted by the guild members, were very close to the list of contestants who would take part in this year's S-class Mage Assessment that he had expected...

If there is anything different...

There is only one more great painter, Ridasu Jonnar.

Also, in Makarov's opinion, Elfman's strength is not enough to participate in this year's S-class magician assessment.

You should practice for another three or four years before making any decision!

Other than that, there’s nothing much.

However, since Ian said that there was something wrong with this list of people, then there must be something wrong. Makarov thought so and began to recall the specific performance of all the magicians in the guild and the completion of their tasks during this year.

"correct……"

Just as Makarov and Ian were recalling together, trying to fill in the gaps and find out if he had missed any members in the guild who were capable of taking the S-class magician assessment because of his age...

Ian's expression suddenly flashed with enlightenment. He seemed to have thought of something important. He turned to look at Makarov and said seriously: "Speaking of which, I remembered something very important! I wonder if you, President Makarov, have thought of it?"

"What's going on?"

"Just tell me directly!"

"As for me, an old man, I have nothing in my mind right now."

Makarov looked up and looked at Ian and asked.

"that is……"

"Is Uru now an S-class magician in our guild?"

"Because I can't remember clearly, I want to ask you."

Ian looked at Makarov and asked seriously.

"Eh?!"

Makarov opened his eyes wide when he heard this. After reviewing his memories, he said in disbelief, "Yes, now it seems that Uru, who is now one of the Ten Holy Magisters, is not yet an S-class Magister of the Guild."

"what?"

"No way! Isn't that Uru the S-class magician of the guild?"

"I remember now! Although Uru joined the guild four years ago, he has been training outside. Normally, he would never show up in the guild."

"At the same time, in my memory, there is indeed no record of Uru participating in the guild's S-level magician assessment, which means that Uru is indeed not S-level yet..."

"Wait, didn't Uru already obtain the title of the Ten Holy Magisters awarded by the Magic Council? That's the same level of title as the president, right?"

"That means that she, a magician who has been recognized by the Magic Council as one of the top ten magicians in Ishgar, will compete with other people in the guild for the only S-level position this year? Are you kidding me?"

For a moment, all the Fairy Tail members present were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

So, this year, the Fairy Tail Guild's S-class magician examination will also be attended by Uru from the "Holy Ten", right?

Since Uru from the 'Holy Ten' is also going to take the test, can the others just withdraw from the test?

After all, what's the point of taking this exam?

Well, the Fairy Tail Guild’s matching mechanism is as excellent as ever!

You are a rising star who is just beginning to discover the wonders of magic.

Therefore, the next person who will compete with you is Uru Mirkovic, who has walked out of his own magic path and immersed himself in the field of magic for decades. He is the strongest modeling magician in the continent and one of the ten holy magicians.
