The night was as quiet as water, the moonlight was as cold as a mirror, and the whole town was silent, and everyone waited with bated breath for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the night.

'Bell, bell, bell... Bell Bell

As the pendulum clock in the clock swayed from side to side, the twelve bells suddenly rang, waking up all those who were anxiously waiting.

"Good morning, all the guild lords who participated in the Great Demon Fighting Exercise! In order to reduce the number of 113 teams participating to eight, the 'Qualifiers' are about to begin! A clown wearing a large pumpkin head suddenly appeared in the air under the night, outstretched his arms and greeted everyone.

As the words fell, everyone walked from their rooms to the windows and looked at the three-dimensional image of the giant clown.

Some people are surprised by the appearance of stereoscopic images, and some people are wondering about the appearance of the qualifiers, after all, there is no qualifier format in the previous editions of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts. Only a few people were wondering if Fiori had so many guilds, and even more was sighing at this incredible progress.

After a pause, giving everyone time to reflect, the pumpkin head clown began to dance and explain, after all, this was the first time that the qualifiers had appeared, and it was held at the official start of the competition, so everyone had to understand why it was set up like this, so he said: "The number of guilds participating in the competition is increasing every year, but the content of the competition has become boring. That's the criticism we've received, so this year's official competition will be contested by these eight teams. The rules of the contest are simple!! ”

At this point, the pumpkin head clown's influence paused again.

At the same time, the rooms of all the contestants shook violently, countless ornaments slipped to the ground, and the wood, stone, and steel that made up the hotel room, including many mechanical gears, all automatically disintegrated and converged into a staircase-like passage, leading little by little to the center point where the pumpkin head clown was.

"Let's start the contest! The finish line is the venue of the official race, Dome Brau! Only the first eight teams to arrive will be considered to have passed the qualifiers in order to participate in the official tournament later! Please feel free to use magic without restrictions! At this point, the pumpkin head clown deliberately paused, as if he had something important to say.

At this time, all the contestants who were listening to him explain the rules were not only listening, but also watching him at all times to deal with all the unknowns that were about to happen.

But before the Joker's words could continue, the rooms of all the contestants were deformed, and more materials floated out to form a passage, extending out to the position of the clown in the air.

"And... Even if you die in the labyrinth, we are not responsible! Then, the 'Aerial Labyrinth' of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Qualifiers has officially begun!! The pumpkin-headed clown explained the rules of the qualifiers, dancing and getting more and more excited, and finally said all he had to say.

As his words announcing the start of the qualifiers fell, the Pumpkin Head Clown disappeared in an instant, and a huge irregular spherical object suddenly appeared in his original position, and the passages formed in front of each room also led to the 'air maze' like a spherical object.

At the moment when the air maze was formed, everyone stepped into the passage in front of their respective rooms in unison as a team, and quickly scurried towards the spherical air maze in the middle.

"Exchange Player !!" Natsu and the others, who didn't rush out at the first time, were all picked up by Elfman, who came to deliver food and drink, and jumped to the end of the passage, the air maze.

It turned out that Wendy took a walk around the hotel after packing her luggage, but she didn't know why she didn't come back until the start of the game, and Natsu and others had no choice but to accept Elfman's temporary addition and play the qualifiers as substitutes.

At this time, on one of the one hundred and thirteen passages, there was no one.

The people around him looked curiously ahead, thinking that the people in this passage were very fast, and they were already walking in front of them, but there was still no one.

Only then did he turn his head and look behind him, and found that there was still no trace and no one in sight.

As these people were jumping forward quickly, they subconsciously turned their heads more widely, and looked at the starting room of this empty passage, only to find that five figures were standing there and looking at them motionless.

Upon closer inspection, these people realized that the guild crest exposed by these five people belonged to the 'Fairy Tail' guild. Suddenly, while maintaining the speed of travel, he laughed mockingly.

"Fairy Tail, if you don't dare to go up the passage, hurry home!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! Don't compete if you're afraid of death! ”

"Sure enough, it is the penultimate guild in 10,000 years, the weakest guild in history, and you don't have the title of 'humiliation' at all!"

"Don't stand there anymore! Let's go back! Save yourself the shame of your guild again! ”

These ridiculers, finding that the ridicule was not enjoyable, began to mock again......

'Wow! Wow! ’

With the sound of two shaking wings, Ming Feng spread his wings while summoning the Thunder Wings, and flew out with one hand with Lakusas and Gajiru holding each other's wrists. And the other sound that shook her wings was naturally Miraj, while she transformed into the soul of Satan, she also spread her wings, shook Zhu Bi'an's hands, and flew out with Ming Feng.

‘！？ ’

Seeing such a scene, the people who were still laughing and mocking them before suddenly stopped laughing, and their expressions became surprised and demented. I can't help but think, is this still the guild that has been at the bottom for 10,000 years?

"Look! That's Miraj and Lacusas, both of whom used to be two of the strongest candidates for Fairy Tail in the past! Didn't they disappear for seven years? ”

"I heard that they came back not long ago, and I thought it was false information released by Fairy Tail to save face."

The team on the left side of the passage where Ming Feng was located only then realized who the person they were laughing at was.

"That's... That... That... That... That... That... That's Ming Feng! Fairy Tail's super newcomer, the only newcomer ever to be crowned by the Magic Judges! ”

"Have you seen him? Didn't you say that no more than ten people had seen him, except for Fairy Tail? ”

"Yes! But I've heard the sixth seat of the original Council of Magic, Mr. Yakima describe him, and the most obvious thing is the power of thunder and lightning and the wings of the lightning attribute, so I can be sure that it is him! ”

"Didn't he disappear for two years?"

"Yes! But this time, his appearance should surprise people! ”

Although Ming Feng is still a newcomer, but with his title alone, it is much louder than the names of Miraj and Lacusas, but there are very few people who recognize him, but once he is recognized, the effect is absolutely shocking.
