The walking dragon son

"In accordance with Fairy Tail's ancient tradition, I now officially announce the list of participants for the S-Class Mage Upgrade Examination.

This year's exam venue will be Tenrou Island, the sacred place of our guild. Over the course of this year, I have clearly seen everyone’s hearts and souls. There were nine participants this time….

Natsu Dragneel, Gray Folpasta, Juvia Rox, Elfman, Cana Alberona, Freed Justin, Rebbie Macugaden, Mei St. Glyde, and Charles Guidovermeer. "

Makarov announced this year's list of candidates, and the audience began to talk about it.

In the end, Makarov decided to carry out the S-level exam as originally planned.

According to Makarov, Fairy Tail and the Devil's Heart will have to come to an end sooner or later.

Whether it is the opposing positions of the official guild and the dark guild, or Precht's identity, the two guilds are bound to be unable to coexist.

Since there must be a war, the battlefield on Sirius Island is the most beneficial to Fairy Tail.

As for Zeref, Makarov thought there was nothing to worry about. Because Zeref's position is not opposed to Fairy Tail, there is no need to treat him completely as an enemy.

No one would be so stubborn as to try how terrifying that black mage is... Makarov secretly made a note to watch out for Natsu and not let him do stupid things!

Ciel touched his chin. The list this time was the same as the original plot except that he was added.

Needless to say, Nazgre and others would have become S-class wizards in other guilds.

However, Makarov really had a headache with their characters, and the exam was very difficult, so he never succeeded in upgrading.

In addition, people like Lebby who have outstanding abilities in certain areas are also qualified to take the exam.

Although Lebby's text magic also has combat capabilities, its combat effectiveness is really not high. But Lebby is the only person who can discuss magic knowledge with Ciel.

If you look at it from this aspect, Lebby is enough to become an S-class mage.

There is also Meister, a man who claims to be a disciple of Mister Gang.

Ciel glanced at the man with short hair and watched him and the guild members who congratulated him exchange greetings with curious expressions.

Speaking of which, Mester's magic is indeed magical, and it can actually make everyone treat him as a companion who gets along day and night.

Perhaps sensing Ciel's gaze, Mester turned his head and showed a smile to Ciel.

Ciel nodded to him and turned to look at Makarov on the stage.

Makarov continued: "The exam will start in a week. Please prepare yourself during this week.

Since several people are taking the exam for the first time, let me re-introduce the rules. The nine selected people will choose one person to be their partner during this week's preparation time.

There are two rules about choosing a partner. One is that you must choose a member of Fairy Tail. Second, you cannot choose an S-class wizard as your partner.

The specific test content will be announced after arriving at Tianrou Island. The selected nine and their partners will gather at Harujion Port a week later and break up! "

Everyone left the meeting with discussion, and Ciel also turned around and walked towards his home.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Ciel has been making magic tools during this time.

Using the renewal medicine prepared in advance, Ciel updated his abilities. [Mysterious] Successfully upgraded, the quality and speed of Ciel's production of magic tools have increased.

But there is only one week left, and more work needs to be done to prepare the magic tools for all members to use.

Charles stopped, looked back and said, "I've been following you for so long, when do you plan to follow me?"

Meister walked out from behind the tree on the roadside and said with a smile: "As expected of Ciel who defeated the Holy Ten, he was discovered so quickly!"

Charles looked at Meister and said, "Don't tell me that you have been following me because you want to know your opponent in the exam."

The expression on Mester's face disappeared and he said, "You are not affected by my magic, are you?"

Although it was a question, Mester had already determined the answer. The reason why Meester asked this was because of his identity.

As mentioned before, Meister's magic is memory magic that can modify memory.

Like today, he can directly input the memory that he is a companion to everyone, and can seamlessly infiltrate any organization. His magic is arguably best suited for espionage work.

The Council valued this and sent him to Fairy Tail as a spy.

What a coincidence, Makarov thought so too.

That's right, besides being an undercover agent sent by the Council, Mestre's hidden identity is actually the person sent by Makarov to the Council to gather information.

In order to complete the wizarding world's version of Infernal Affairs, Mestre went even further. He directly sealed the memory of being a member of Fairy Tail.

Now he really thinks that he is a member of the Council's spy organization to obtain information about Fairy Tail.

That's why he was so nervous after realizing that Ciel's memory might not have been modified.

If Ciel's memory has not been modified, it means that his lurking has completely failed.

Ciel's memory has indeed not been modified. Ciel is very cautious in terms of memory. Whether it is the memory of past lives or the secrets that can travel through the world, they are secrets that cannot be touched.

So in this regard, Ciel spent a lot of thought. After placing three layers of seals on his brain and adding five kinds of protective magic, Ciel did not believe that anyone could forcibly read his memory.

The false memories Mestre added to Ciel were all blocked by protective magic. But even if he succeeded, Ciel would quickly discover the inconsistency in his memory.

Memory is a person's most precious thing, and what Ciel hates most is someone tampering with his memory.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Mester was also a guild mate, Ciel would have beaten him away.

There are still flaws in Mestre's magic, because it is impossible for him to create a memory that is as flawless as a real experience. There will always be contradictions in false memories that don't exist.

For example, he added to everyone in Fairy Tail the memory that he was a guild member and even took the last S-class exam.

But that memory was false, so no one remembered who his partner was in the last exam.

Ciel said: "I don't care who you are. Since the president has no objection to you taking the S-level exam, I naturally won't have any other ideas. As long as you don't do anything that harms the guild, I won't do anything."

After saying that, Ciel turned around and left.

"By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice. This S-class exam is not that safe. No matter what you want to do, it's best not to get involved."

Ciel said that on purpose. I believe that when Meester reports this sentence to the Council, the Council will definitely take action.

Although they are not expected to help deal with Acnologia, there is always someone to help deal with the devil's heart's miscellaneous soldiers.
