"Just next week, Fairy Tail's annual S-Rank Magus Promotion Exam will be held!" Rebi announced. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lucy didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a few seconds before she exclaimed: "S-class magician promotion exam!" Could it be that the S-class magician who selected the guild is like Elusa, Wozmila Jenny, they ......" The blonde girl shouted incoherently.

Wadsz nodded and said, "That's right, that's what you said." ”

"No wonder everyone has become so enthusiastic......" Lucy looked at the busy people around her with some abruptness, "It turns out that our guild's S-class magicians actually passed the exam!"

The girl's tone was very surprised, and even a little "disappointed" - such a bland way of upgrading was a bit unexpected for her.

Lebi was dissatisfied: "What are you disappointed about! How do you think this S-class magician came out?"

"Hahaha!" Lucy scratched her head and laughed, "I thought it would be...... It's a little more intense, like that......"

The business novelist's mind conjures up scenes of everyone in the guild fighting in the ring, or simply having another gang fight, and the last person standing wins.

As Lucy's best friend, Lebby immediately knew what she was thinking in her heart, and immediately explained helplessly: "Lucy, I'm afraid this exam is not what you imagined, strictly speaking, it should be called an assessment or a selection or something." Participants must have strong strength, the competition is very fierce, and it is not a simple matter of writing and answering questions!"

"Well, that's right!" Lucy smiled awkwardly, "I'll just say it...... Something so important won't be that simple. ”

Rabi continued, "And this month, it's the pre-selection period for the exam, and the guild leader and the S-rank magicians will select the candidates to participate in the exam based on their performance over the course of the year, the progress of their strength, and the tasks they have completed. Although it is a whole year's results, it is necessary to take into account the newcomers who joined the guild in the current year, so the results of this last month are the most important selection criteria. Well, that's it......" Rebi pointed behind her, and as the task list was updated, a lot of people crowded into the task board.

Lucy suddenly became anxious: "What? So there are only a few days left, but I just found out about it!"

Lebby glanced at her, "Little Lucy, you don't need to be in a hurry. After all, you've only been in the guild for half a year, and even if you're chosen, it's unlikely that you'll become an S-rank magician. Except for Mister Height, no one has become an S-class magician within a year of joining the guild. ”

"Well......," Lucy sighed, "Leo shouldn't hit me so quickly, I'm just thinking." ”

"It's not to hit you. Lebby looked at her seriously, "But this exam is indeed too difficult! You know, before Laxus successfully passed the exam in 778 and opened the prelude to the new generation of Fairy Tail, this upgrade exam has not been passed for nearly twenty years!"

"Isn't there always a winner in every exam...... Lucy said halfway through, and she came to her senses, just now Rebi also said, this promotion exam is once a year, if there is really one person who successfully upgrades every year, how can it be said that there are also twenty or thirty S-rank magicians in the guild now!

Lebby wrote on the paper with a pen, "Laxus in 778, 17 years old, Wads, 17 years old in 779, Elusa in 780, 15 years old, Mila Jeanne in 781, 16 years old, and Mister Heights in 782, 20 years old...... For five consecutive years, someone has passed the exam to become an S-class magician, so there is the glory of today's new generation. As for last year, no one succeeded, and Mestre was a little bit behind, which is a pity. ”

Lucy exclaimed, "It feels so good." Looking at the list of familiar names on the paper and her age when ......she passed the exam, Lucy, who was already 17 years old, could only look up, "Well, who is this Meester? Didn't you say that all the members had come back? Why didn't you have him?"

Rebi frowned as well, trying to remember, "Hearing Lucy say that, it's true...... It seems that he ran too far too far to get back in time, right?" the petite girl suddenly ruffled her hair irritably, "Anyway, that's probably it! Lucy will see him in a few days." ”

Lucy nodded, and she was also curious, wanting to see what the guy who was only one step away from the S-class mage was like. In this way, Mester is probably a little more powerful than Natsu and Gray.

At this moment, far away on the other side of the kingdom, at the headquarters of the Senate, in the exclusive dormitory of their troops, Doranbart had simply packed his bags.

At this time, he had already changed out of the blue and white ** guide robe of the Council, wore very ordinary striped clothes, and patted dust on his body, trying to dress himself up as a dusty servant.

His roommate, Rahal, who is also a member of the Senate's exclusive force, watched his friend's actions, "Are you really planning to sneak into the fairy tail?"

"Of course. Doranbart looked excited, "Isn't that what the council adults ordered?, and in the past few days of investigation, I know that they have a big event recently! If it goes well, I can find out the biggest secret of Fairy Tail! ”

Rahal was well aware of his friend's temperament, and shook his head helplessly and reminded: "You still have to be careful, there are also strong people in the tail of the goblin, beware of your magic being cracked...... In that case, it would be difficult for even the members of the Senate to step down. ”

"Don't worry, Lahal, you know best how powerful my magic is, right? Even if it's exposed, it's easy for me to leave. Doranbart was confident, "These days, I've prepared in advance, and the people of Fairy Tail will easily accept the existence of this person, Meester." ”

But then, he also frowned: "The only thing that is uncertain is that there is only one person." ”

"Who?"

"Woz Frenner. Doranbart clutched at his nearly shaved head, "He has a backup of his memory, the annoying magic book. No matter how powerful my magic is, if there is a record of me in his book, it will be easy to wear it. ”

Rahal in turn comforted the other party: "You shouldn't worry about this. You're from the Intelligence Section, and your identity has been kept secret, so I don't think even that Woz will know about you...... In fact, even I don't have much of an impression of you...... Uh, you haven't tampered with my memory, have you?" he asked jokingly.

"Well, how come?" Doranbart admired his friend's imagination and picked up the package, "How's that, does it feel like you're in the dust?"

Rahal nodded: "Almost, you don't have to teleport directly to the door of the people's house, go outside the city first and walk back by yourself, this will be more realistic." ”

"Okay, I'm leaving. ”

"Be careful all the way. ”

"Rest assured, wait for my good news!" With that, Doranbart disappeared from the room in an instant.

Rahal knew that he had arrived dozens of kilometers away, and that with a few more teleportations, he would reach his destination, Magnolia. Then, his companions and best friends would infiltrate the Fairy Tail guild, unaware, as if he were a member of that guild in the first place.

Due to the need to learn to write reports, Lebby has given up her qualification for this promotion exam. Of course, this girl didn't have much ambition in the first place, and she also knew very well that her magic was not good at fighting, and her strength was limited.

Not all powerful magicians can be promoted to S-rank, but all S-rank magicians are bound to be strong. This is the iron rule!

As for Lucy, after learning about the difficulty of the exam, she also gave up very simply. Lucy likes to join in the fun, but usually she is a more cowardly girl.

Without pursuit, there is no pressure. The two girls, who had nothing to do, quickly put the exam behind them, and then went out shopping together.

After they were gone, Mira Jeanne finished her busy time and came to Woz's side.

"What are you looking at?" Mira Jenny looked curiously at the paper in Woz's hand.

Woz didn't evade, and moved the angle of the paper to make it easier for the girl to read: "It's new information." ”

Mila Jeanne saw the lines of handwriting on the paper: "Is it handwritten? This is the paper in your magic book...... Who is she?"

It's no wonder that Mira Jenny is curious, she knows that Woz has a vast intelligence network, but is qualified to use the pages of the magic book to communicate with him...... Not a single one. Woz's special communication magic is only possessed by a few people in the guild.

Woz smiled: "Zhang Xuqian, the one you saw last time, the chess player's subordinates." After forming an alliance, I also gave them a few of these communication spells to facilitate the exchange of information. ”

Mira Jenny wrinkled her nose and didn't delve into it, just teased, "Woz, you're really popular." Even the girls on the opponent's side are very interested in you. Also, it's just that ordinary people are also very popular...... Like Nimina at the Dusk Cafe, they're passionate about you, too. ”

Woz smiled wryly: "Hey, those waiters are all your fans, right?"

"But a few days ago, when Lisana and I went to deliver the photo album in person, it was you who asked the most!"

Two months ago, while on vacation in Harugian, Watts agreed to get a copy of Mila Jenny's autographed photo book for the waiters at the Dusk Café. Recently, the magazine was finally published, and Watts specially asked Mila Jenny to go on a trip in person, which was a surprise to them, but they didn't expect such a moth to come out.

"Cough, cough, cough......" Wadsz tapped on the table, stiffly adjusting the subject, "Look at the intelligence, look at the intelligence is the point." ”

Mila Jenny didn't really want to blame Wads, and she laughed and read it carefully.

Woz looked at the girl's serious side face and said, "There's nothing new, it's just a reminder that the demon's heart will do something to us in the assessment...... I've already told you about this before. ”

Mira Jenny sat beside Woz, still carefully studying this information, and her expression became solemn: "Before, Woz, when you mentioned this information, you said that it was not conclusive, but now it seems that it is certain that the demon's heart is indeed going to attack us." ”

Woltz reassured, "Don't worry too much. Aren't we just prepared to deal with this situation? Now that we're sure, let's go ahead with the original plan. ”

"Alas, it seems that this promotion exam is destined not to be too peaceful. ”

Woz patted her on the shoulder: "Rest assured, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, since the demon's heart is determined to deal with us, I think this plan is the best choice." We'll do our best when the time comes. ”

That's right, since the time of the alliance with the chess players, Woz explained most things to President Makarov and the other S-class mages in the guild. It's no news that the heart of the devil wants to do something to them. It's just that the exact timing has only recently been known.

Knowing that the Demon Heart was going to attack when it was time to upgrade the exam, President Makarov took advantage of the situation to adjust the content of this year's exam. The response plan was developed with Kildas, Watts, Elusa, and Mira Jeanne.

President Makarov decided not to rank the guild members to complete their tasks this month to determine the candidates. Instead, only consider the strength and combat effectiveness of the candidates!

You know, due to special reasons such as luck, not all powerful magicians will have a beautiful mission completion rate. Since the tasks selected by the high-strength mages are usually of higher difficulty, the completion rate and number of tasks may not be as good as those of the average mage. Like Fairy Tail, super-first-class powerful magicians like Natsu and Gray have not performed very well in recent months. Because they always act as the main force in various non-mission events, and they are resting and recuperating for a considerable period of time afterwards, which can be called miserable in terms of tasks. Even if you try to catch up in the last few days, if you want to be selected for the exam, it is still relatively hanging.

In terms of being selected for the list, Fairy Tail has always been very fair, so there will be a scene where the whole guild is fanatical about doing tasks to brush up on grades. Because you know, there is a chance for all!

The Wizard Guild's job is to complete various tasks, and S-rank Wizards must lead by example! That's why Fairy Tail has this kind of rule.

But this time, the guild's higher-ups were clearly not prepared to follow this "ancient precept". Fair play or something, in front of everyone's safety, was decisively abandoned by Makarov.

The list of candidates has long been decided: Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy...... All members of Elusa's team, all members of the Thor, S-class magicians who were originally ghosts, Jubien, Gajiru, Kana, Rebi, and Eluffman...... Plus President Makarov, and all four S-class mages of the guild!

Woz even quietly contacted Laxus, who was temporarily exiled.

Fairy Tail's highest combat power is fully assembled!

After learning about the purpose of the Demon Heart: to use the Fairy Tail as an object to test their strength, in order not to involve more ordinary members, President Makarov decided to only choose elite combat power, and chose the battlefield far away from the guild, thinking that the Demon Heart would not be interested in the ordinary members of the guild who stayed behind.

Moreover, the location of the S-level upgrade exam was originally located everywhere in the continent, and he was not afraid that the demon's heart would see through his plan.

In order to gain a further advantage, President Makarov and Kildas decided to occupy a favorable position, and simply chose the examination room on the sacred land of Fairy Tail - Sirius Island.

"If they dare to come, we will dare to fight them!" said Chairman Makarov at the time, "and if we are afraid and do not come, we will hold the exam as usual." The details of this plan are not to be shared with the candidates for the time being. ”

Woz could only sigh and smile bitterly in his heart, of course they dared to go! Hades, the leader of the Demon Heart, was probably more familiar with Sirius Island than we were!

Waz once tentatively revealed to President Makarov that "Hades is Preshitto", but the old man did not believe it when he was killed, and even became furious. Woz had no choice but to give up, and could only keep reminding everyone that the enemy was very strong, and they should be careful not to underestimate the enemy......
