The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

This is one of the most important days of the year in Fairy Tail, and almost all the members are here.

Even Kira received the news from Marklov last night and came to the guild early to meet with a few people and attend this much-anticipated ceremony.

In the familiar tavern, the wooden platform used for performances was covered by two huge white cloths. There was a lot of people outside, but a few people inside were whispering and winking.

"You guy...when did you come back? I thought I couldn't make it!"

It was Laxus who spoke.

Since the "Fairy Civil War" was staged in another way, he was not expelled from the guild and would naturally participate in this assessment.

He said this to Kira, but Kira didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned to Gildas on the other side: "Gildas, what happened to the little girl who left with you last time?"

Kira was asking about Winter, the girl he called the "protagonist template" when he was in Zonia.

"You mean her..." Gildas thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, we were together for about half a month and then separated. I don't know where they went."

"Yeah……"

"Hey! Kira! Did you hear me talking to you?!"

Kira ignored Laxus and continued chatting with Gildas: "Before, when Demisor College was recruiting students, I was wondering if she would go, but I didn't see her. To be honest, I heard that I liked that girl. Yes, your magic talent is pretty good.”

Gildas recalled it for a moment and nodded cooperatively: "That's true. As far as using ice, Gray couldn't compare to her back then, and he might be better than those guys outside in the future!"

Seeing that Kira was completely ignoring him, Laxus rolled up his sleeves and was about to put them on: "Kira, you bastard! I'm talking to you..."

"Be quiet!"

At this moment, Marklov shouted directly to stop the behavior of the three people, "Stand where you are! Don't you know that this appearance is very important?!"

Laxus still had a rebellious look on his face and turned his head in disdain: "Gee...I still want to be cool at my age..."

Marklov's face turned red and he jumped angrily: "What are you talking about! I'm not trying to be cool for any reason! You also know that today's matter is very important, right?!"

At this moment, Kira suddenly said: "President, wouldn't the five of us standing like this become Erza as the center? This kind of appearance does not highlight your C position! It always feels like Laxus is standing there It’s a bit redundant here…”

The current positions of the people are as follows: Marklov is standing in front, and the other five S-class magicians are lined up behind him. The old man is surrounded by Mira and Erza on his left and right, Gildarts and Kira on his left, and Laxus is on Kira's right.

Because Marklov was not standing on the center vertical line of the back row, it looked strange.

Hearing Kira's words, Laxus was furious: "What did you say?! Say it again!"

But Kira ignored people who were accustomed to having trouble hearing, and continued to discuss with Marklov: "It's better to let me stand behind you. In this way, you will stand exactly at the center vertical line of our row. superior……"

‘Doesn’t that mean you are the center? ’

Marklov rolled his eyes at Kira, "Then... Gildarts, stand behind me and let Laxus stand in your place!"

Several people had no choice but to accommodate the old man and stand back up.

Looking at his formation, Marklov nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, let's go out like this..."

However, before Marklov could finish his sentence, he felt two pieces of white cloth behind him being torn apart!

? !

"President!!!"

“We have been waiting for a long time!!”

“Announce it quickly!!”

The noise came from behind, but Marklov looked confused at this time: I haven't turned around yet, and I haven't taken a good posture yet! Why was this cloth pulled apart? ! Who did it?

"Eh? Why is the president turning his back to us?"

"It must be a surprise for us!"

"Are you not ready yet?"

The crowd kept shouting, and Marklov could only turn around quickly, and at the same time adjusted his facial expression with decades of experience, and looked at the guild members below with a serious look.

Looking at the two fluttering sleeves on the old man's coat, Gildas chuckled at Kira: "Is it you, kid?"

Kira did not answer, but said: "Hey... don't rely on me every time something embarrassing like this happens!"

Gildas laughed: "Sorry, sorry...then was it you who did it this time?"

Kira glanced at Marklov without any trace, found that he didn't look over, and then nodded slightly.

"I knew it……"

"Why do you still want to be in the spotlight at your age? This kind of opportunity should be left to us young people!"

"Hmph! I know how to talk like others..." Laxus complained as he felt his presence angrily.

The six people on the stage appeared in the form of "one in the front, two in the back, and three in the back". The three Kira were slightly half a body behind Erza and Mira in the front row, and their voices were also very low, but They still heard it.

"Let's stop it! It's begun!"

"Yes Yes……"

Marklov pretended to cough twice, and announced to the eagerly awaiting crowd: "This has been a tradition of Fairy Tail for many years. Now... we announce our participation in the 'S-Class Expert Promotion Trial.' list!!!”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly ignited and all the members cheered.

"Oooo!!!"

"I'm on fire!!"

The strange behavior of her companions over the past few days finally solved Lucy's doubts. At this time, she seemed to be the last person in the guild to know, with a face full of surprise.

Even Wendy, who had just joined, and Lisanna, who had just returned, were calmer than her!

After calming down everyone's emotions, Marklov announced again: "This year's trial location is... Tianrou Island!! Our guild's sacred territory!"

Everyone was shocked again, with expressions of yearning or surprise on their faces.

Tenrou Island is a small island in the southern sea. It is located south of the coastal city of Magnolia. It belongs to the territory of "Fairy Tail" and is not easily open to the outside world.

For the members of the guild, this place has extremely important symbolic significance. The S-level assessment is specially set here. I think this year's assessment will be more difficult than usual!

But if you can become an S-class mage in this assessment, it means that your strength has been recognized to a higher degree. This honor is unmatched by previous assessments.

It's like, previous exam scores were only 100 points, and you only need to get 90 points to pass; but this year's exam has 150 points, and if you pass, it means your score is above 135!

And this is not something you can guess because of proportional conversion, but it is real and exceeds the full score in previous years!

"Strength, heart, soul, I have witnessed your growth over the years, and finally selected 8 members to participate in this assessment, but only one person can stand out!"

Kira listened quietly to the list given by Marklov. The eight people selected were not much different from the original plot, including Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Elfman, Kana, Felide, and Rebby. Impressively listed.

Finally, Kira looked at the last person, Mester.

This person was originally a member of the guild, but two years ago, in order to inquire about the "Western Continent" for Marklov, he erased his memory among the guild members and infiltrated the Council under the pseudonym Doran Barut.

In order not to reveal his actions, he even erased his own memory. Only the memory of Chairman Marklov remained intact, and only he could remove it.

Originally, Marklov would go to the Senate to get information from him every once in a while, but this made Mester, who had lost his memory, become suspicious. In order to get information about "Fairy Tail" for the Senate, he I once again modified the memories of everyone in the guild and sneaked into the guild, just in time for this assessment.

Kira already knew the plot, so he would not be unprepared for this kind of magic. Coupled with his extraordinary magic perception, it was not difficult to detect abnormalities in advance and become immune.
