The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

The second day of Da Mo Dou’s martial arts performance.

Competitive event: naval battle!

"A naval battle..."

"Does anyone among us have the ability to fight at sea?"

In the Fairy Tail camp, Makarov frowned and thought hard. As the president of the guild, he had the obligation to select the most suitable candidate among the remaining five people to participate in today's competitive match.

"Time is running out!"

Kira looked at the countdown on the crystal screen in the venue. There were still thirteen minutes left for each guild to choose their players.

"Erza has armor for water fighting, and Mira also has a demon form for water fighting. Let one of them go."

"I think so too."

Makarov nodded and said, "The strength of Erza and Mira is about the same. Anyone can be sent on the field, but the strength of the other guilds cannot be underestimated. If possible, I still want to wait for other guilds." Select the best candidates, and then send the one with good compatibility to the battle."

After thinking about it, several people felt that what Makarov said made sense.

"Let me go!"

Before Kira could start analyzing the possible candidates from other guilds, Erza volunteered first.

"Do you want Erza to go first? Why?"

"Because Mira was already in fighting mode yesterday, I was originally more inclined to let her play..."

The players selected in the fighting mode are random, and the only thing that is certain is that they will not be repeated. In other words, it is impossible to choose Mira to participate in the fighting again, and if Erza is unlucky after participating in the competitive mode, Being chosen to fight would undoubtedly be a disadvantage.

But Erza also has her own reasons: "The other guilds are very strong, especially the Twelve Shields team. They are too strong. We may not be able to win completely in the fighting stage. And the competitive mode The selection cannot be repeated. If I lose in the fighting mode first, I will lose the opportunity to participate in the competitive mode."

This sounds reasonable, but...

Everyone looked at Erza blankly, surprised that she would say something like 'I might lose'.

"Hey~ It's rare to see you so unsure..."

"I was just preparing for the worst!"

Erza looked at the arena expressionlessly and sighed silently.

She was actually helpless in her heart, but there was no other way. The magic of Twelve Shields was too buggy. If she met Brandish later in fighting mode, it would be okay. She already had a great way to deal with it, but if Against Timaria, she might not even be able to react, and she would be stripped naked by the other party in public.

Thinking about defeat before winning is indeed something that needs to be paid attention to at all times in military combat.

So Makarov clicked his head and decided on the candidate.

"Okay then! Let Erza play!"

The battlefield of the naval battle is an artificial lake. It was built on the original arena. Its area is about three-fifths of the bluestone arena, which is quite large.

The lake is about five meters deep, with hundreds of round stone pillars inserted in it. The distribution of these stone pillars is irregular, with different sizes, lengths and thicknesses.

"Today's competition event is 'Sea Battle'. The rules are as follows: eight players need to fight on the lake. If they fall into the water, they will fail. The final winner will get 5 points, which means that player's score will become 10 points!"

The announcer had a new wig today, but his suit, tie, and loud voice remained the same.

Next to him, there were still former congressman Ajima and the mysterious pumpkin man. The three of them used communication methods to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the eight magicians participating in today's naval battle.

"'Fairy Tail' sent out the very famous mage Erza Shukaretto. She looks very confident!"

"The 'Emperor's Shield' sent out the Imber player who had a fighting match yesterday. We already know that he is an ice mage. Indeed, such magic is beneficial to water battles!"

As a former congressman, Yajima has a quick mind and quickly thought of what might happen in the future: "Maybe we plan to freeze the lake and then fight on the ice. Doesn't that count as a foul?"

The announcer replied: "The rules only say 'if you fall into the water, you lose.' I think standing on the ice should be no problem."

"Then if the lake was completely frozen, wouldn't the game never end?"

"Well... I think the players have their own ideas. If this happens, the competition will probably intervene."

The two of them looked at the mysterious pumpkin man beside them, waiting for the game's 'mascot' to speak.

"Ah! Well..."

The mysterious pumpkin man hesitated for two seconds and said: "The competition had originally considered the ice magician freezing the lake, so they had made some preparations, pumpkin~"

"However, judging from player Yinbel's battle performance yesterday, we have no doubt that he can easily freeze the entire lake. This is beyond our expectations. The previous preparations may not come in handy, Pumpkin~"

"So if there is a situation where you can't fall into the water, then the outcome will be decided by your original strength, Pumpkin~"

After the pumpkin man's addition, the judges and the audience understood more complete competition rules.

"The 'Witch's Sin' sent out the same wizard Urrudia who participated in the fight yesterday and is familiar with ice magic. From this look, today's competition may become a battle on ice!"

"Oh~ I know a little bit about Urrudia's magic, the lost magic 'Arc of Time'. If she plays, it's possible to end the game in one go!"

Hearing that Yajima on the judges' bench was like an old fox, smiling and dismantling his old skills, and making other people's eyes focus on him, Urrutia, who had just stepped onto the field, suddenly had a dark look on his face: "This Old guy, is he still resenting me for destroying the Senate and causing him to lose his job..."

Other contestants: "..."

You deserve it! You were left free to destroy buildings and cause people to lose their jobs. Now you know it's not easy to offend the elderly!

Ivan, who had worked in the Senate for a while, chuckled: "Speaking of which, I heard that Yajmasan lay in bed for a long time before recovering because of the collapse of the Senate..."

Now Urrutia became more and more sure of his guess. Looking at the old man on the stage, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hey... this old man is really seeking revenge!"

Ivan is naturally the candidate sent by the 'Blue Pegasus'. He uses snow magic and has the ability closest to the 'Naval Battle' project.

'Crow's Tail' sent Narubudinku, the short fat man who targeted Gray in the 'Concealment' project in the original plot. His magic 'Rolling Needle Blast' has nothing to do with the water attribute, and it doesn't seem suitable at all. The "Naval Battle" competition, so everyone speculated that they should have given up on this competition.

But Kira then thought about it and realized that this guy's skills were pretty good. If he adopted the stinking tactic of destroying stone pillars, it would be enough to disgust all the players.

The 'four-headed hound' sent an unknown sidekick who was not very strong and Kira didn't even remember his name.

'Heart of the Dragon' sent Sudo, one of the twin girls. Kira had never seen her at the Dragon Slayer Research Institute, so she should be a new member in the past two years, and judging from the nature of the magic power, this The girl is also a second-generation dragon slayer, but she doesn't know what attributes she has.

"That guy Silver, didn't you say that they didn't have the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal? That was really a lie!"

Just as he was complaining, the announcer's excited voice sounded again: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable!! The 'Snake Scales' sent out was actually their ace, the mage who bears the name of the 'Holy Ten', Jiu La Requis!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiula walked up with a round bald head. He didn't know what kind of shampoo he used, and his head was shining at the moment.

"Oh oh oh it's Jula!!"

"It's me!!"

"Jiula actually appeared on the second day?!"

It can be seen from the cheers at the scene that Jura is very popular in the Kingdom of Fiore.

Since the ‘Emperor’s Shield’ has only been established for three months, and only two people have appeared in the game so far, these viewers are not familiar with this guild.

In their eyes, the final winner of this competition is between the three guilds that have the 'Top Ten Magicians', that is, the 'Snake Lady's Scale' where Jura belongs, and the one led by Jellal. Witch's Sin', and 'Fairy Tail' where Kira is.

Nowadays, people in the magic world basically know that the "Witch's Sin" was formed by the main combat forces of the former "Six Demon Generals" and the "Devil's Heart", and the audience also judged their extraordinary strength. Even if Jellal can't go to battle because he is the guild leader, the others are much stronger than the magicians of ordinary guilds.

However, they also knew that both guilds were destroyed by Fairy Tail.

Therefore, in their minds, the strength ranking of these three guilds is: Fairy Tail \u003e Sin of the Witch \u003e Scales of the Snake Princess.

But when it comes to popularity, even in view of the royal family's reputation, the "Sin of the Witch", which was transformed from the Dark Guild, is still very low in the hearts of the public, far less than the old light guild "Snake Princess Scales".

Seeing Jiula appear on the stage, the seven contestants were all stunned. No one expected that Jiula would appear in such an obviously unsuitable event.

It stands to reason that the one who is most suitable for "naval battle" in "Snake Princess Scale" should be Leon who uses ice magic. Unfortunately, he was eliminated by Yinbel yesterday.

"Is it because the second member of the guild, Leon, was defeated, so I can't wait to restore morale today?"

When Imber spoke, the transparent glasses on his face reflected the same light as Jula's bald head.

As the consul of the Albares Empire, he has collected a lot of information during the time he came to the Kingdom of Fiore. In addition to the 'Heart of the Dragon' who is also a new guild, and the people who have just transferred back to the Guild of Light, Apart from 'Crow's Tail', he had varying degrees of understanding of several other guilds.

"I can't help it. Our nagging old lady was very angry yesterday."

Even though he knew that he would not have a geographical advantage in the subsequent competition, Jula's face was still full of confidence. This is the courage of the 'Ten Holy Wizards'.

Such an aura put a certain amount of pressure on the players who were about to compete - except for Imber.

At the Fairy Tail position, Kira looked at the confident Jura on the field and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"The last time I saw Jiula, he didn't seem to have so much beard, right?"

"Beards grow so fast, but the hair follicles on the head are all bare. This is really incredible!"
