Chapter 246: Angry Duel Competition
As the clock passed, the morning competitive game ended after half past eleven, and as expected, the two teams of Fairy Tail were still in the end, Natsu scored two points, breaking yesterday's record of zero points for Fairy Tail Team A, while Gergill scored one point, and the scores of the two teams were equal, while Stinger of the Sabertooth Tiger gave up the game directly and scored zero points.
The original plan to only take an hour of competition was actually dragged on by Natsu and Guggill for half an hour, for the purpose of the guild to participate in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts, so both of them were unwilling to give up the game and persisted, this belief in persistence made some people who hated Fairy Tail change their views on Fairy Tail.
The ranking changed after the competitive game, the crow's tail ranked first, the saber-toothed tiger ranked second with yesterday's score despite zero points, the snake queen scale was third, the cyan Pegasus was fourth, and the appearance of the four-headed hound was a very powerful substitute, and he got the first place in this competitive competition, but because yesterday's score was too low, he was ranked fifth, and the mermaid's heel was sixth, seventh and eighth are still the two teams with fairy tails.
The matchup will be held after one o'clock in the afternoon, so the teams still have some time to prepare, Natsu was sent to the infirmary by Gray and Elfman because of motion sickness, although Gergill was also dizzy, but not as serious as Natsu, lying on the ground and resting for a while before gradually returning to a normal state.
After a few breaks, as the time approached, Mirajane and Lucy arrived at the Domus Arena to wait for the matchup to begin.
"I was thinking at the beginning that if your mana source wasn't broken, then you might also participate in this festival as a representative of the guild, but I didn't expect you to actually participate......" Ragsas looked at Mirazhen with some surprise.
"This is what the first generation said with the president, if I could, I would like not to restore the mana source, so at least I can not participate in this......" Mira Zhen sighed.
"This helpless tone and the idea that he is not willing to take on anything are no different from Ashu, and they are really close......," Lagersas sighed.
"There's no way around it, although I've regained my magic power, I've lost some of my strength, so I hope it's best not to draw my ......," Mirazhen said.
"Really, but the magic I feel from you doesn't look like someone who has lost his strength......" Ragsas frowned.
"It's not very stable because it's just recovered...... "Mirajan laughs.
"Is that a reason...... Lagersas was a little speechless, "By the way, did you really find that guy?" Lagersas said in a deep voice as she looked at Mirajan.
Mirajane was slightly stunned, she found that Lagersas seemed to be planning to ask her this question early in the morning, "I found it, but I missed the time, and I won't see her for a while." Mirajane said.
"I haven't been back to the guild for seven years, although you said that you went to the Duchy of Etya to find his traces and said that you missed the time to travel or something, but it's been three months since we came back from Sirius Island, how can there be no special news about the return of the Fairy Tail Sirius Group who once caused a sensation in the entire continent because of Akunororia, even if the news spreads slowly, it should have spread all over in three months, why does he still not have the heart to come back?" Lagersas said as he looked at Mirajan.
"You weren't interested in Ah Xiu before, why did you ask Ah Xiu about it this time?" Mirajan quickly replied.
"Looks like I'm doing it too much, it seems like you really know he's there, and I won't ask if that's the case, I'm a person who doesn't like to pull myself into trouble, and since you let the old man admit that he's still a member of Fairy Tail, then it's still our companion......" Lagersas said, his tone not affirmative, but only temporarily accepting.
"Well, if Ah Xiu knew that you had returned to the guild, he would be happy," Mirazhen smiled.
"I hope so, to be honest, I'm really a little interested in him now, I haven't seen him for seven years, his strength should be much stronger than seven years ago, this is my answer to your question just now," Lagersas said, closing his eyes and raising his mind alone.
"Yes, I also care about this matter, I haven't seen it for seven years, what kind of strength has Ah Xiu's strength reached......" Mira Zhen sighed and said, "At least the strength of the Holy Ten, right......" This sentence Mira Zhen did not say, but said it in her heart, and Mira Zhen's expression did not show anything else, as was her tone, a little indifferent.
On the other side, Lucy was excitedly holding her Canis Minor's star spirit Pru, and she was still in pain like Mirajane because of the sequelae of activating the second magic source, so she didn't have much rest at all in the morning, but called all the star spirits in the room, because she wanted to apologize for not summoning them for seven years.
She was a little happy that she had summoned the Star Spirit without any hindrance with the second source of mana, but she soon learned something from Loki that shocked her.
"The door was blocked by a force, so you didn't come out?" Lucy looked at Loki in surprise.
"That's right, not just me, but all the star spirits including the entire Star Spirit Realm couldn't pass through the door between the Star Spirit and the Human World at that time," Loki said in a deep voice.
"By the way, can't the Star Spirit King solve this matter?" asked Lucy again.
"Since it is all the Star Spirits, including the Star Spirit King, even with the strength of the Star Spirit King, they can't break through the obstacles of that power," Loki said.
"I see, that's why you couldn't come out that day, Loki, so do you know what's going on, how can you come out again?" Lucy wondered.
"Actually, although some kind of force blocked the door and the star spirit couldn't come out that day, it didn't last long, that force disappeared, and after about twelve o'clock, some of the star spirit was already able to pass through the door," Loki said.
"Then why haven't you come out?" asked Lucy.
"This is related to the problem of space, the astral world and the human world are two different worlds, although they are connected, but the astral spirit needs certain conditions to pass through the obstacles of the astral realm and the human realm, the accurate spatial coordinates are the summoner's magic and the magic that can completely summon the star spirit, before that power appeared, Lucy's magic power was very low, not enough to summon the star spirit, but our star spirit can remember Lucy's magic power, so I can rely on your weak magic power to open the door alone, but after that power appeared, everything in the astral spirit world was blocked from the human world, even after the disappearance of the magic position I rememberedAnd Lucy, you didn't have enough magic to summon me out, and I couldn't find your place, which is why I couldn't come out later," Loki said.
"I see......" Lucy nodded in her realization.
"Do you know why?" asked Lucy.
After hearing this, Loki was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "To be honest, all the Star Spirits don't know what's going on, but the Southern Cross Star has a bold guess, and the Star Spirit King seems to agree with this guess...... But it's hard to believe and it's unrealistic."
"Eh......" Lucy was a little confused.
"Collecting the keys to the Golden Twelve Star Spirits can open a door to change the world, Lucy, you've heard of this legend, Lucy," Loki said as he looked at Lucy.
"Well, I heard of it, but it's just a legend," Lucy said, nodding.
"Although this is just a legend, this legend is not groundless, and this legend has always been circulated in the astral spirit world...... Loki said.
"No, so the Star Spirit King's guess is ......," Lucy cried out in surprise.
"That's right, there's a good chance that someone gathered the keys to the Golden Twelve and opened the door to change the world......" Loki nodded and said in a deep voice.
"But it's just speculation, not true," Loki said.
"It's just speculation, but it's scary enough," Lucy said, dumbfounded.
"Since Lucy, you can call us if you need to restore the source of mana, I'll go back first," Loki said, and then turned into golden light and disappeared into thin air.
Lucy stood on the solidarity stand with Pru in her arms, looking around at the crowd that began to fill up, recalling what Loki had said.
"Ah, I already have ten of the Golden Twelve Keys, and I'm only two away from collecting them," Lucy muttered to herself, holding Prue in some surprise.
At this moment, Lucy suddenly remembered the voice that sounded in her head yesterday, "Lose your companions, lose your lover and lose your ability to be loved, and then get the power to change the future............ You will regret it, and you will know how much you will hate yourself for not having the power to share the pain of your loved ones, and you will watch the world go into destruction little by little until everyone in this world dies......"
Lucy's hand holding Pru suddenly let go, and Pru fell to the ground directly because of Lucy's looseness, and let out a cry of pain.
"This ...... How could it be ......," Lucy muttered confidently.
…………
"It's time to enter the duel of the Great Demon Martial Arts again, everyone must be in a hurry, what kind of exciting battle will there be today, I can't wait......" Kabaddi shouted as he sat on the commentary platform.
The Domus Arena after one o'clock was already full of spectators as yesterday, and there seemed to be more people than yesterday, some people had no seats and could only stand in a place that did not affect the vision of others to watch the game, the reason why this happened was because this year's competition was different from previous years, it was no longer all guilds competing together, but by the selected eight teams to participate, in terms of time and content was much less than in previous years, and the content was much more exciting and enthusiastic.
"I've got the roster in my hand, and the first battle is between Black Snake of the Tail of the Rising Guild and Toby Oloruta of the Snake Scale," Kabaddi said.
After Kabaddi announced the battle list, the designated representatives of the two guilds had slowly walked into the venue.
"By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to announce, because Pumpkin has a day off, I'm going to be the referee today......" Kabaddi continued.
"Today's first game looks pretty good, what kind of sparks will come out of the snake and dog encounter...... "Kabaddi began to use his host talent again.
"Cool, Toby is so dog-like......" Jason yelled as he left his seat in excitement.
"Come on, defeat Ivan's stupid guild, ...... like a dog" Seeing that the first game was another crow's tail match, Makanov immediately shouted.
As the gong sounded, Toby launched an attack directly at the black snake, Toby's claws became extremely long and kept attacking the black, but he was dodged by the nimble body of the black snake one by one, and the figure of the black snake dodging the attack looked like a snake like his name and dressed similarly.
After dodging Toby's attacks several times in a row, the figure of the black snake suddenly disappeared from Toby's field of vision, which surprised Toby a little, and the attack stopped.
However, Jora, who saw this scene on the support stage, shouted, "Stupid, this is mimicry magic ......", and as soon as Jora's words fell on the playing field, there was a sudden change.
"Sand Rebellion......" A voice sounded directly in Toby's ears, and in an instant, countless sands surrounded Toby, and Toby was directly hit by this magic and fell to the ground.
"Isn't this my magic?" Fairy Tail's main supporter Max cried out in surprise as Black Snake had just used one of his sand magic.
"Mimicry magic, it should be magic that can simulate other people's magic," Lucky said, and Jora's shouting was naturally heard by them.
"It's a rare piece of magic," Mebis said.
The figure of the black snake appeared from the sand on the playing field, and although Jora's shout was heard by Toby, he didn't have time to react, but fortunately he was in good health, so although Toby was not hit by the black snake's magic, he did not suffer any damage.
"You're amazing," Toby said, standing up from the ground and looking at the Black Snake.
"You're not weak either......" Black Snake replied.
"Black Snake's name is so cool," Toby said.
"It's not my real name," Black Snake said.
"It's not my real name...... Toby exclaimed excitedly when he heard this.
"Are you angry?" said Black Snake with some surprise.
"If I win, then you're going to tell me your real name......" Toby excitedly attacked the Black Snake again.
"Yes, but if I win," Black Snake asked, dodging Toby's long claws.
"Then I'll tell you a little secret of mine......" Toby responded.
"That sounds interesting......" Black Snake replied, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
"The two of them seem to have a strange block," Kabaddi said from the commentary stand, because yesterday someone reacted that the voices of the contestants could not be heard in the audience of the duel match, so today the organizers have installed a sound broadcast broadcast, so the voices of Toby and Black Snake can be heard by everyone, which is also a precaution made by the organizers to prevent cheating.
"I'm not interested in either of them......" Yajima said mercilessly, but a large part of the crowd ignored the remark that as long as the game was exciting.
"Cool ......" now it seems that Jason has not changed in the slightest as it has been in seven years.
The battle between Toby and Black Snake continued, but after about ten minutes of fighting, the battle between Toby and Black Snake finally came to an end, Toby was defeated by Black Snake and fell to the ground, and Kabaddi immediately announced the result.
"The Black Snake of the Raven's Tail won, and now the total score is thirty-six points, and the scale of the Snake Queen is twenty points," Kabaddi announced.
Serpent Scales solidarity with Leon on the stage, and Jora sighed.
"This black snake is very strong," Elusa looked at the black snake standing on the playing field below.
"yes, he shouldn't have ...... with all his might," Gray muttered.
"Now our enemies are not only the saber-toothed tigers, but also the tail of the crows," said Lucy, standing aside.
"Not only that, but other guilds are also fierce rivals," Elusa said in a deep voice.
Lucy remembered that the two teams of Fairy Tail only had two points, and now the crow's tail had thirty-six points, "This score gap is very big, can we catch up......" Lucy said secretly in her heart.
At this time, the black snake on the playing field looked at Toby who fell to the ground, "So, what about your secret......"
At this time, Toby whispered with tears in his eyes, crying, "I can't find one of my socks...... I started looking for it three months ago, but I couldn't find it, I didn't want to tell anyone, woo woo ......"
Hearing Toby say these words, everyone in Serpent Scales actually began to tremble, and drops of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
The same black snake looked at Toby's feet after hearing this, and found that Toby only had one foot wearing socks and the other foot was barefoot, it seemed that because of this, he was not wearing shoes, because he was barefoot, so his feet were black, and the black snake also saw that Toby actually had a white sock hanging on his bare upper body.
Black Snake pointed to his chest, motioning for Toby to look at it.
Toby touched his chest when he saw the black snake move, and found that the sock he had been looking for was on his chest.
"I found my socks, you're such a nice guy," Toby sat up and cried bitterly, holding his socks.
The faces of the snake princess scales have darkened, in fact, they have seen Toby hanging a sock to buy his chest three months ago, and they thought it was Toby's new outfit so they didn't say it, but now it seems that the situation is not what they think.
The face of the snake queen's scales darkened, and the rest of the people watching this scene were directly petrified, how much forgetfulness this Toby had, they couldn't help but wonder.
To everyone's surprise, the black snake actually stretched out his hand to Toby.
"Is this a friendship after the game? What a friendly development," Kabaddi shouted.
"Cool ......," Jason shouted along with Kabaddi.
"This development is indeed good," Yajma nodded with some satisfaction.
However, things always develop towards the unexpected, just after Toby approached the hand of the black snake with grateful eyes, the accident happened, the black snake directly took away the socks that Toby hung on his chest and tore them hard, and looked at Toby with a smile on his shocked expression, "I like to destroy other people's favorite things, hehe......"
At this moment, Toby couldn't stand the blow of his beloved socks being torn, and cried bitterly.
"It's not friendly at all, it's too much, it's too much...... "Kabaddi's exclamation quickly rang out, followed by a roar of dissatisfaction from the audience, obviously not satisfied with Black Snake's approach.
However, what was even more excited was Elusa, who saw this scene, and directly wanted to jump off the support platform to beat the black snake, but fortunately she was stopped by Gray and Lucy, otherwise a more shocking scene would happen.
The people of the Snake Queen's Scales were naturally angry, in short, the first duel match of the second day of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts really ended in the anger of everyone.
