The next day.

Fairy Tail.

"Wow, there are so many people!"

The people in the guild almost filled the hall today, which surprised Lucy, who had just come with Wendy.

"Almost all the people in the guild are here."

Xia Lulu said.

"What the hell is going on, it always feels too solemn."

"Ah, doesn't Lucy know yet?"

Wendy tilted her little head to look at Lucy.

Lucy quickly shook her head.

"Because today is the day to announce the list of examiners."

Wendy pulled Lucy to the front, looking expectantly at the stage behind the curtain.

"What kind of assessment?"

Lucy looked at Wendy curiously.

"Look, it's about to begin."

Wendy stared intently at the curtain slowly opening.

On the stage, there are five people standing at the moment.

It was President Makarov, Gildas, Elusa, Mirajan, and Lin Yu.

"President, we've been waiting for a long time."

"Announce it."

"Who will it be this year?"

The eyes of most of the audience sparkled and they looked at Makarov expectantly.

"Ahem."

Maklov cleared his throat first, then took the list in Mirajan's hand, and said: "This has been a tradition of Fairy Tail for many years, and now the candidates for the 'S-class magician promotion assessment' are announced. ”

"En-en-en-......"

The people below held their breath one by one, and the tense atmosphere spread.

"S-rank magician promotion assessment!!"

Lucy let out a startled exclamation.

Natsu, Gray, Wendy, they all clenched their fists.

"This year's assessment location is Sirius Island!"

Makarov said with a serious expression: "That is the sacred territory of our guild!" ”

"Holy land!"

Many people are yearning.

"Strength, heart, soul, and the witness of this journey, we selected these 8 players."

There was a sudden silence below, and Makarov's voice resounded through the hall, "These eight players are Nazdo Ragnier. ”

"I'm on fire."

Grey Ulu Pastal

"This is definitely the last time I will take the test!"

Wendy Marbell

"Great, I'll definitely become an S-class magician!"

Jubiax

"Eh...... Is there also a share of Jubia? ”

Elfman

"Man, you have to become an S-class magician!"

Cana Alberola

“……”

Philip Justin

"I will inherit the will of Lagerthas!"

Rebi Makugaden

"I'm finally ......"

------

"Wow, ahh I wasn't chosen! ”

"Is there no drama this year?"

Many had a look of frustration.

"It turns out that you have been working hard these days just to be able to participate in the assessment of S-class magicians."

"Well, I was finally selected this year! That's great. ”

Wendy clenched her little fists, excited.

"Congratulations, Wendy."

Lucy is also happy for Wendy. She turned her head to look in the other direction, and saw Kana, who was standing in the crowd, and although she was selected for the assessment, her mood was a little low.

"Is that why Kana wants to leave the guild?"

"Only one person will stand out this time."

Makarov clenched his fists and encouraged: "Just start this week in your best condition!" ”

"Will there only be one person?"

"It's stricter this year."

"But it's been a few years since there been an S-class mage in the guild."

There was a lot of talking.

"Why, even Jubiya was chosen, but not me?"

Guggier gritted his teeth a little unwillingly.

"I've heard where you stand in this guild."

Lili said, "I don't think they fully trust you yet. ”

"No, that ......"

Guggier scratched his hair in distress and said helplessly: "There are some things that can't be said!" ”

As an undercover agent of the guild, he has done a lot for the guild behind his back, but these exploits cannot be said.

That's when it happened.

Some scattered images suddenly flashed in Xia Lulu's mind.

"Yes!"

Her eyes widened.

"What's wrong, Xia Lulu?"

Wendy, who was excited, couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.

"No... Nothing..."

Xia Lulu shook her head, thinking secretly in her heart, "......What the hell was that just now?"

Some scattered pictures, but they are not beautiful prophecies.

In particular, the strange dark-haired man who appeared in the last picture made her uneasy and palpitated.

"So, now let me explain the rules of this assessment."

Makarov spoke again: "Before the assessment begins, the eight of you need to choose one of you as your partner. Of course, the choice is conditional, first, the chosen partner must be a member of Fairy Tail. Second, you can't let an S-class magician be your partner. ”

"In other words, Elusa, Lin Yu, Mirajan, and Gildas can't be chosen." Li Li nodded.

"If there are four of them as partners, it would be too foul."

Wendy smiled, and her eyes lit up.

"The actual content of this assessment will be revealed after everyone arrives on Sirius Island."

Makarov added, "But this time, Elusa will be involved and act as an obstacle for you. ”

"Eh, eh, eh, ......"

"I'll be your troublemaker this time, too."

Mirajane waved and laughed.

"Ahhh......hh

"But there's nothing to be afraid of, is it?"

"Hard, do you already know how to use magic, Mira?"

"Yes."

Mirajan nodded, "I'm already able to use magic." Receive the spirit of Satan all over your body! ”

As she spoke, Mirajan clenched her fists, and her whole body changed, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a demon with sharp claws, scales, tail, and wings. The fierce eyes made everyone in the hall palpitate.

She sneered and shook her paw, and there was a popping sound in the air, sending chills down everyone's backs.

"So, don't underestimate me."

"Demon, Demon Mira, finally see me again!"

Old men like Macao who had seen the demons couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads and laugh dryly. Of course, it's more about being happy.

"Is this Mira's magic?"

Lucy's eyes widened, "Looks scary...... The contrast in temperament is too great. ”

"Whoaa......a What to do! How could we beat my sister! ”

Elfman clutched his head and collapsed.

"Do you have to defeat Elusa and Mira?"

Lucy was surprised and said, "Liar, huh? ”

"This... They may or may not release water......"

Wendy was already sweating on her forehead.

"Stop yelling."

Gildas chuckled, "This is the path that S-class magicians must go through. ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... You ......"

"That, Gildas, don't say that you will also be an obstacle to this assessment!"

"Isn't it......"

More than half of the eight people who participated showed expressions of imminent collapse. Only Natsu clenched his fists, looking excited.

"The ......"

Looking at the last person on the stage who hadn't spoken yet, Gray raised his hand uneasily, stared straight at Lin Yu and said, "Lin Yu, don't say that you will also become an obstacle to this assessment!" ”

In an instant, the guild suddenly fell silent, and the eight people stared at Lin Yu with wide eyes, nervously waiting for his answer.

Lin Yu grinned, "Ah, that's right, it's interesting, isn't it?" ”

“……”

"Wait a minute......"

"There's no way to do it at all......"

"Can I quit?"

"the fart!"

"Haha...... It's over, it's over, I'm afraid it's going to be in vain again! ”

The guild exploded instantly, and they were a little dizzy, feeling that the difficulty of this assessment was unprecedentedly high. One S-class is too much for them to deal with, and this time there are 4 of them, and two of them are still recognized as the strongest candidates!

"The eight selected people will meet with their partners in Harugion in a week's time."

Makarov declared: "That's it. ”
