The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Chapter 373 Daily-Winter Contest

do you remember? Fairy Tail has a sports competition at the end of every year (mentioned slightly in Chapter 60).

The content of the competition is naturally in line with winter characteristics such as snowball fights, snowman building, ice sculptures, ice hockey, skiing, and skating. It is considered a relatively large-scale competitive event in the guild.

Kira secretly trained for this for a long time, but the effect was not great, because in terms of athletic talent, he was still slightly inferior to Erza and others.

Naturally, the use of magic to cheat is not allowed in the competition. For example, Gray's appearance is not an ice sculpture, so even if Kira can use magic to control snowballs and ice balls, they are not allowed to use them.

This event is held on Christmas Day, right behind the Guild.

It used to be the sea, but now it has become a large area of ​​ice. The ice is more than ten meters thick and is closely connected to the land of Magnolia. In addition, a good snowfall last night coated the ice with silver. It's particularly enchanting under the clear sun.

More than a hundred people from the guild gathered here, playing or competing. When they were tired, they went back to the tavern to rest. It was a great time.

At this time, several young men and women were gathering together to build snowmen for the next competition.

A voice rang out from the crowd: "It's true! There really is Santa Claus! We all saw it! Right, Happy?"

It was Natsu who was yelling. In winter, his scarf finally played its proper role in keeping warm. He told others about what he saw last night, but no one believed him.

"That's right! Just when we came out of Lucy's house, Natsu and I saw it!" Habi echoed Natsu's words, "It was about 2 o'clock. He was wearing a red hat and red clothes. , with a white beard and a big red package in his hand!"

"So! Those are all lies and legends. Just like Kira and the others, didn't they also receive a commission to 'pretend to be Santa Claus and deliver gifts'? What you saw must have been someone else pretending to be you!" Even though he put on winter clothes, , but Gray is still the coolest one on the court.

Natsu and Happy still didn't give up and said angrily: "But Santa Claus did send us gifts!"

"So, what did you receive?" Erza asked as she walked over pushing a large snowball half a person's height.

"Meat!"

"fish!"

When it comes to Christmas gifts, the two people's expressions changed instantly, with joyful smiles on their faces.

"So, am I the only one who cares about them being at Lucy's house so late?"

Kira couldn't help but speak, expecting to see their gossipy looks, but unexpectedly, several people turned back to look at Kira curiously, and asked curiously: "Isn't this normal?"

"..."

Completely speechless, it seems to be quite normal.

Just as everyone was exchanging last night's Christmas gifts with great interest, Makarov slowly walked over wearing a cotton-padded jacket: "Everyone is having a great time... Are you ready? The 'Winter Race' is going to take place." It’s begun!!”

Makarov's nose was red, there were dark circles under his eyes, his voice was hoarse, and there were several sneezes in one sentence, which made everyone worried about the old man: "Has the president caught a cold?"

Kira knew that this must be related to the fact that he braved the wind and snow to deliver Christmas gifts to the people in the guild last night, and couldn't help but advise: "Really, since you are getting older, don't always do things that force yourself to do. ah!"

"Did the president do anything?"

Natsu and Happy didn't understand why, causing Lucy to complain: "These two people are really slow in their reactions..."

"Let me take a look!" Little girl Wendy stepped forward to treat him consciously. After using the healing magic, Makarov's face finally turned a little rosy.

Not relying on magic, but relying entirely on technology, the 'Fairy Tail Winter Competition' has officially begun.

The first is to build a snowman. The judging criteria for this competition are big and good-looking.

"Dangdangdang...this is my work!"

Erza showed off her work. It was a three-meter-tall snowman, plump and white, with a long sword, shield, armor, and helmet. It looked very handsome.

"Oh oh oh!!! It's the 'Snowman Knight'! As expected of Erza!"

"So big! So white! So round! So handsome!"

Boom——! !

Before everyone could finish marveling, the snowman collapsed!

"Hey!?!! How could this happen?!" Erza felt sad when she saw that all her hard work was gone.

"Sure enough, it's probably because I added too much equipment..."

The snowmen built by other people were similar, without many highlights, but the ice sculptures in the second game were different. This competition tested the imagination and creativity of the contestants.

"Isn't it just an ice sculpture? Simple!"

The Ice Sculpture Competition was re-added to the ‘Winter Competition’, and the happiest person was Gray. Even if he couldn't use modeling magic, this competition wasn't difficult for him, and he was able to carve out an iceman that looked exactly like him in just a few minutes.

"Oh oh oh!! Does it look like this even if it is made without magic? It is indeed Gray!"

"But...why are you not wearing any clothes??!!"

Iceman Gray is lifelike and is the best work on the field. Unfortunately, he is completely naked and has no clothes on, so he was disqualified from the competition by Makarov and ended up being reduced to Juvia's collection.

So Juvia got two ice sculptures of Gray.

"I also know a little bit about ice sculpture~"

Lucy was carving a certain famous work. She was probably the most artistic person on the field. Although she was not as good as Gray, she was still very good.

Natsu's voice came from behind: "Lucy, look at my ice sculpture, he is Iguniru!"

Lucy turned around and saw an ice lump about the same height as Natsu: "This...is this Iguniru? Isn't it too abstract?"

Hubby couldn't help but complain: "Natsu, everyone has seen Akunololia. Dragons may be scary, but they will never look like this."

"I know that the real Igunilu is much bigger than this!"

"No...I don't think it's a matter of size..."

"Really? Sure enough, I think there's something missing!"

“What’s missing is your artistic skills!!”

After Natsu thought for a few seconds, he thought of the key, and said with a smile: "I know, there is no momentum! Let me add some fire to him!!"

"Eh?!" Lucy was stunned, because in front of Natsu's ice sculpture was her work, her face suddenly changed, "No!! Wait a minute..."

"The Roar of the Fire Dragon!!!"

"My ice sculpture!!!"

Natsu's magic was so powerful that it melted many unfinished ice sculptures into water, and the familiar guild group battles resumed.

Kira had no intention of participating in the group battle, but just silently watched other people's works.

"Happy, what is your ice sculpture?"

"It's a fish!" Habi showed off his work enthusiastically.

Kira was silent for a moment and said: "Happy, just freezing the fish into ice doesn't count!"

"Wendy, who are you carving?"

Wendy blushed, and after hesitating, Kira recovered and asked: "Yes...it's me when I grow up..."

Although she said this, Kira immediately noticed that the two ice bumps on the chest of this female ice sculpture did not fit the character: "Will this look too long..."

Snap!

Before Kira could say anything, two lumps of ice suddenly fell from the ice sculpture, making a loud splash. This was because her image was really...unbalanced in force.

Kira sighed, patted Wendy's head distressedly, and comforted: "Don't be discouraged! Some things in this world cannot be forced!"

"Woooooo~"

The Mira siblings carved witches, beasts, and kittens, which were quite satisfactory; the Thunder Gods worked together to carve a Laxus, which was also very similar; Kana directly dug an ice bucket to fill the wine, and she was drinking happily at this time; Gildarts carved a Kana, but because it was too ugly, Kana directly smashed it with the help of alcohol; Erza continued her own style and made an "Ice Knight". Since ice is stronger than snow, it did not collapse this time. …

Kira didn't have much creativity, so he carved the guild crest. Although it wasn't very pretty, it won Makarov's award - indeed, the connotation of the work is more important than the appearance!

Gray still won the skating and skiing competitions. Compared to Kira's useless training and Erza's extraordinary talent, his foundation was more solid.

By the time all five events were over, it was already dusk.

"I declare that the winner of this winter competition is... Kira!!"

Although not first in everything, Kira's overall score is the highest!

"Thank you... thank you all... for being able to win the overall victory in this game, I think I have to thank Gray for his accident and Natsu for his sabotage. They helped me a lot... and of course the president's insight..."

After an old-fashioned speech of thanks, Kira accepted the prize of this competition from Makarov——
