On the afternoon of July 1, the qualifiers continued, still not stopped by the missionaries. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But apart from a few tourists who are just fresh and fresh, no one comes to challenge anymore.

Because many people have noticed this abnormal number of teams to advance. The guilds, who had planned to continue to brush up for a few more waves, couldn't help but give up, and even they themselves felt that it would be too much to continue doing so.

Then, it was quickly revealed through the official channels of the tournament that the rules were revised. This is obviously a patch for the guild of the water people, and it seems that the upper echelons are starting to get angry, and the people are suddenly silent, and the fiery atmosphere is also cooling down all of a sudden.

Immediately afterwards, the official released the items for the first game tomorrow, so that all the teams that advanced to the main competition prepared in advance.

It was the first time that the event had been announced in advance like this, and the whole city was stunned by the news. But it soon regained its original lively atmosphere, and even became more fanatical.

In the eyes of people, this is just a contingency measure taken by the official organizers because there are too many teams, after all, if there are too many people, the announcement of the events and rules tomorrow will inevitably cause a certain amount of confusion and waste more time, which will greatly affect the rhythm and spectacle of the competition.

Moreover, because of the information about the items and rules in advance, the guilds can prepare in advance, and the competition is bound to become more exciting, and at the same time, various overt and covert gambling markets can also be opened in advance to attract more people to bet.

It can be said that from this moment on, the first match of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts has actually begun! The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense and entered the competition mode in advance.

The Honey Bone Inn in the royal capital of Crocas is the station of the Fairy Tail. Because the entire guild of Fairy Tail was pouring out this time, the entire inn had to be chartered to accommodate them all.

It is worth mentioning that the Laxus group did not stay at the Honey Bone Hotel, because the direction of entering the city was different, and they found a hotel on the other side of the city, so they dispersed with the large army.

Of course, after finding the collective, Laxus naturally chose to move into the Honey Bone Hotel.

Elusa's team also assembled, and brought President Mebis with them.

The next day, for the first time since the Fairy Tail practice, they were having a party - Fairy Tail had always found all sorts of reasons to celebrate.

But soon, two notices from the official organizers came down. The party had to be terminated at short notice, and it was clear to everyone that the main purpose of their trip was to win, and that preparing for the competition wholeheartedly was the most important thing!

The table full of food and wine was swept away, replaced by a scroll of notice just issued, a map of the royal capital and the surrounding area. Everyone sat around in a serious manner, analyzing the information.

Because President Mebis was present, she was basically analyzing, and the others were listening.

Mebis read the two scrolls several times before asking, "Have you decided on the two teams?"

President Makarov replied, "Yes, yesterday after the success of the Laxus and Natsu challenges, they were asked to confirm the candidates. One group is made up of Elusa's squad plus alternate member Akishi, and the other group is Laxus, Mira Jenny, Gajiru, Jubian, Filid, and alternate Kana. Basically, it's up to each of them to decide. ”

Mebis lamented: "It's a pity, the decision was made too early." According to the revised rules, there is a lot of flexibility in the selection of candidates, and if you make good use of it, you can make a big difference. Elusa and Mira Jenny should be candidates. ”

According to past experience, the Great Demon Fighting is not a simple competition, and half of the events in the entire competition are "games" with various tricks. In these events, it is often not the stronger the combat power, the more advantageous, it is likely that those non-main combat power magicians are more suitable for the competition events.

Being able to flexibly play the role of a magician and the diversity of magic is the key to victory. For example, magicians like Rebi and Biska who have their own specialties can often do wonders when they are put on the team.

In the past, it was impossible to know the competition items in advance, so the only way to send the strongest members in terms of comprehensive strength was to rely on their strong strength to endure all kinds of unexpected situations. But now, they are able to know the content of the game half a day in advance, and the best way to do this is, of course, to make targeted arrangements.

This is because the rule changes mention that although the alternates can be replaced by themselves, those who are not on the original list must also pass the test of the magic detection device. Therefore, if the two S-rank Magiers of Elusa and Mira Jenny are used as alternates, they can be substituted at any time to supplement the team's combat effectiveness, and at the same time, two "Specialty Mages" can be placed in the main team to improve the team's adaptability in the face of strange projects.

Kana was full of tarot cards on the table next to her, and she had been divining something since just now, even putting down her beloved wine glass.

Then Kana looked up, "Through my divination predictions, I have come to the conclusion that the best candidates for this first game are Philid and Lebby. ”

Rebi, who was sitting quietly and listening, looked up in surprise: "Huh, why me? I'm not a contestant, am I?"

Kana shrugged, "Because I have plenty of time, I made a prediction for everyone in the guild. That's the conclusion I came to in the end, but I don't know exactly why...... I can't do that much detail at my level of divination. ”

Mebis nodded, "I agree with Kana's prediction, her magic has a lot of potential. ”

Lucy suddenly nudged Xia Lulu gently: "Speaking of prophecy, do you have any opinion on Xia Lulu?"

The white kitten said helplessly: "My ability can only passively foresee the future, and it is not under my control!"

Mebis continued, "One more thing, this project requires two people to fight, and the other candidate had better send the strongest combat power!" Her gaze swept over the three S-class magicians, "Through this document, I can only see that it is full of malice. I am afraid that the organizers have the intention of using this tournament to reduce the number of participating teams. In order to do this, they are likely to turn this so-called 'race' into a real brawl! ”

Hearing President Mebis's words, everyone lowered their heads and re-examined the content of the game.

"So, do you have any other suggestions for the first generation regarding this project?" asked Elusa, who had trusted Mebis's advice and orders since learning of her nickname as "Elven Commander".

Mebis pondered for a moment: "The best strategy is to finish out all the opponents at the start of the race as much as possible at the beginning of the race, and then concentrate on the race!"

Hearing this, everyone showed subtle expressions, this suggestion ...... It's a bit violent. It's hard to imagine such a brutal strategy coming out of the mouth of a cute little Lori.

Mebis noticed everyone's reaction and sighed helplessly: "I'm just suggesting, it's up to the contestants to use it, but you have to remember my words! This is not just a suggestion, it's a warning, other teams are likely to have the same idea." Because of the large number of participants, there is a high possibility of a scuffle at the starting point, so even if you don't want to attack others, at least you have to guard against others!"

Laxus sneered: "You don't have to worry about the first generation, if there is really a scuffle, I will not show mercy to my subordinates." This time, we will play with Filid!"

"Understood!" Fillid immediately stood up excitedly and leaned over in a knightly salute, "I won't let you down." ”

Lucy raised her hand and asked, "So, what about Lebby? she's not a contestant!"

Natsu said, "Didn't you just say that? ”

Lucy reminded, "But that would require Rebi to pass the magic test!"

"Hey, it seems unlikely. Rebi also scratched her head with a dry smile. She wasn't a magician in the first place, and she wasn't good at fighting, so she didn't plan to participate in the tournament from the beginning. This girl is genuinely here to be a spectator and cheerleader.

Kana lamented: "That's a pity, it's clear that you have the best compatibility with this project." My array shows that if it's you, you're going to win!"

"Even if Kana says so......"

Hearing that he would win, Chairman Makarov was already thinking about whether there was a suitable means of "cheating".

Elusa also said, "Well, no matter what, let's try it tonight, maybe there will be a way for you to pass the challenge." If it really doesn't work, then let Lucy and I play. ”

"Huh, why me?" said Lucy, startled.

Elusa had a serious expression: "Because Lucy is a good friend of Lebby! If Lebby is very compatible with the competition, you must not be too bad!"

"This assumption is not convincing at all!"

……

In the evening, the qualifiers were officially over.

However, the magic detection device has not been removed, and from now until the official opening of the competition tomorrow, each team can change candidates.

Indeed, as expected, after being informed of the competition in advance, many teams began to change personnel in order to send the most suitable magician for the "obstacle course" sport.

Because of cheating, these guilds want to make it easy for someone who needs it. Although the scores are only two thousand nods, they have all been calculated.

This is the main reason why they have not complained against the rule changes.

Looking at the previous successful cases, Leibi was a little nervous. She really didn't know the bottom because she didn't use any cheating to improve her magic - this blue-haired girl specializes in word magic, and her magic fluctuations are quite unique and difficult to incorporate with other kinds of magic.

"So, forget it......" Rebi pleaded with a wry smile.

"Since they're all here, let's give it a try. Lucy encouraged, "If I hadn't been a full-fledged member, I'd like to try my magic skills." ”

Mira Jenny also encouraged her with a gentle smile: "Come on, don't be stressed, just let it go!"

"Okay, then I'm on!" Rebi hugged the book in her arms, cheering herself on.

Lucy asked, "That half of the book, do you want me to help you get it first?" From this time she saw Leby, Lucy found that the other party had been holding this strange book and would not put it down for a moment.

"No, thank you Lucy. Lebby smiled and shook her head, "I'll feel more at ease with it." ”

After saying that, she said hello to her companions and walked forward.

Suddenly, a white-robed figure appeared behind Lebi without warning, reaching out and grabbing the girl's petite body.

Lebi turned back, puzzled to see a man who appeared behind her at the wrong time, dressed in a wizard's robe as white as snow.

This strange middle-aged man gave Lebi a familiar feeling. His eyes were filled with joy from the heart, and the girl couldn't help but be moved. Although it was not known why he was so happy, Rebi immediately confirmed that the other party had no hostile intentions and was someone to trust.

The man didn't speak, but just took a ...... from his waist with his backhand It was half a fragment of the book, and it was stuffed into Rebi's hand.

The girl subconsciously pieced together the two fragments of the book, and almost at the same time, countless dark golden lights burst out between the pages, and in the blink of an eye, the magic book returned to a complete body! Every time you turn the page, you can see that the lines of text on the page are lit up in dark gold, and the words are full of moving magic!

Lebby looked at the book in her hand in surprise, looked up at the man in front of her, and quickly looked down at the words in the book, she felt that some missing part of her memory was gradually waking up!

That's right, it's him! It's this man, it's my teacher, it's the teacher who taught me this script, it's the master of this magic book, the goblin we've been looking for!

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes: "Wo...... Mr. Woz!"

There was a sudden cheer of joy from the book, and a small dark golden figure flew out of the page, and after flying around the book, it swooped down on Lebi affectionately, hugged the girl's cheek, and then flew to Woz's shoulder, curiously looking at the miniaturized spirit bird beside her.

"Go ahead, I'll lend you this book first. Woz patted the girl on the back and pushed her forward, "Your words should work for it." ”

The automatic secretary flew with a dark golden light and landed on Leibi's shoulder.

The girl's heart was settled, and she walked towards the crystal ball with confidence.

The teacher is giving her a big hanging, and it's impossible for me to fail even if I want to!

Watching his students walk towards the crystal ball, Woz turned to look back at the rest of the guild.

"I'm back...... Long time no see!"

In an instant, everyone's memories seemed to be refreshed at the same time, and the memories of Woz instantly came to mind.

Mira Jenny smiled very softly, laughing with tears in her eyes, and took a few steps forward and threw herself into Woz's arms.

"Welcome back, Woz!"
