The Harvest Festival, Magnolia's annual celebration day, is also the most lively parade of the year for Youwei.

The whole city is lit up and the citizens are dressed almost uniformly in preparation for the day of revelry.

In recent years, under the impetus of Kira, Magnolia has developed rapidly, becoming a magical city in the Kingdom of Fiore that is almost comparable to the royal capital, so more people come to visit at this time.

As Magnoria's only and kingdom's No. 1 magic guild, Fairy Tail used to participate in parades, magic shows, and even beauty contests, but this year is different!

months ago......

"You said you were going to run a guild tournament?"

Inside a certain villa, the short mayor looked at Kira strangely, "Hasn't your guild always held beauty contests?" Magnolia has been developing well in recent years, and I originally wanted to use this gimmick to attract a wave of tourists, so why change it suddenly? ”

After deciding to determine the strongest magician of Fairy Tail at the Harvest Festival, Kira approached the mayor and talked about his plans for the year.

"It's a beauty contest every year, and it's boring!" Kira drank black tea and glanced at the short mayor opposite, "Even if it's an LSP, it's boring to always watch the same beauty pageant." ”

Mayor: Where is it boring, it's great!

"The so-called magic guild is that there should be a magic competition to be interesting. Believe me, in the near future, the competition between the magicians will definitely become a popular event all over the country, and when the time comes, we will be the first to hold it, and we will definitely become famous! ”

"And holding a magic event can also promote Demon Tail and Magnolia, and next year it will be replaced by a beauty contest, which will not only whet your appetite, but also maybe increase your popularity!"

Soon, the mayor agreed to the plan, as Kira's decisions had never been wrong.

"So now, let's ask the mayor to spread the word, you can try to attract as many tourists as possible to watch, and it will definitely be very lively!"

……

Two days ago, the Fairy Tail Guild.

Standing on the second floor, Kira shouted to her companions with a bullhorn, "That's it, everyone! The mayor has agreed, and this year's harvest festival will be kicked off by our fairy tail with a wonderful magic competition!

”

"Yay!

”

"Awesome!

”

"I'm on fire!

”

Cheers rang out throughout the guild!

Kira handed the horn to Marklov beside him, his face mixed with sadness.

Happily, he is also looking forward to this event, and he has the support of the mayor; The worry was that he was really afraid that this group of children would smash Magnolia and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Luckily, Kira told him that the bout would be held in a fixed arena, which made Maklov's face feel a little less apprehensive.

"Ahem...... Now it's up to the old man to announce the rules of the game! ”

With Kira, Elusa, and Laxus taking the lead, everyone fell silent and looked at Maklov.

"In this event, except for the old man, the absent Gildas, and Harpy, everyone in the guild must participate, and they can't refuse!"

Some of them looked at the corner of the Mill Height, and as usual, he was silent, and at the same time covered himself tightly, and it was clear that he had to attend the event.

Natsu yelled, "Why can't Harpy participate?" He is also our companion! ”

"Then, this time, the mayor and the old man ...... the competition," Maklov said, raising his hand, "There are five judges, Despel, Harpy, and reporters from the Magic Press!" ”

"Yo!"

"Hey!"

Dispel and Harpy appeared next to Marklov one after another, the former was half a demon-tailed person, and the latter did not participate because he had no combat power.

"By the way, Harpy will also be the mascot of our Fairy Tail's First Demon Path Conference!"

The harpy fluttered, and his claws crossed his waist proudly: "That's it!" I'll be a star from now on! ”

"In this competition, you can only use your own magic, and you can't use other magic items."

Everyone turned their eyes back to Kira, which was clearly aimed at him.

Unexpectedly, Kira seemed to know it for a long time, only to see him nod and say, "This is what I requested, for the balance of the game." Except for the wielder who can use his own equipment, this time, no one, including me, can use special magic items. ”

"Finally," Maklov's voice drew everyone's attention again, "the winner of this contest will receive a prize of 1 million J, as well as a trophy of [The Strongest Man with Fairy Tail]!"

！ ”

"Oooh!

！

”

"I've got to get my hands on it!

！ ”

"What's the strongest, obviously neither President nor Gildas participate......"

Although everyone knew that this honor was very watery, they didn't care, because with it, they could justifiably be in front of others.

Laxus is bound to get it, Elusa is very interested in it, Natsu, Gajiru, Gray and others have also released bold words, saying that they must get their hands on it, as for Kira, he is already thinking about how to spend the prize money of 1 million J, where to put the trophy made of pure gold, and how to insert it into various advertisements in the game.

Unlike others, he's been working with the mayor on advertising campaigns, figurines and accessories, and endorsements in the future.

……

Now, the Magnolia Arena.

A few years ago, the mayor set aside a large plot of land in the city at Kira's suggestion to be used as a venue for various events, and now, after several months of preparation for this competition, it was finally renovated in time for the harvest festival.

The entire competition arena is similar to the venue of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts in the original time and space, but the area is a little smaller, but the scale is also enough to accommodate the residents who come to watch the competition, as well as tourists from the neighborhood.

The crowd was full of voices and cheers.

On the judges' stand, in the middle sat President Maklov, the mayor of Magnolia, the host of the competition, Disper, flanked by the journalists who were invited to visit, and the mascot Harpy.

Let Dispel be the host, mainly because he sympathizes with the president's advanced age and lack of vitality; The other two, the reporter is a special guest, an outsider, and it is not appropriate; As for the mayor...... Who would dare to let the mayor be the host?

So in the end, this task can only fall on Dispel, of course, also with the help of his handsome image, as well as convenient product placement.

"High in the Sky"

Behind them was a huge screen, divided into several pieces, that were filmed from different directions of the playing field, passing through the magic crystals.

Under the enthusiasm of the audience, Disper, Marklov, the mayor and the reporter explained the schedule of the [Magnolia First Demon Path Conference] to the audience word by word.

The schedule is divided into the following points:

Qualifier [Escape the Labyrinth]:

The large maze on the fifth floor, with 4 entrances and 1 exit, is full of traps and traps in the maze, and the first 30 members who escape from the maze are eligible to enter the preliminary round;

If the final number is less than 30, then the person closest to the exit of the maze will be supplemented;

Except for the trap rules, you can't shoot at other magicians;

The labyrinth cannot be destroyed;

PS: Although the maze is made of special material and cannot be easily destroyed, the magicians should also pay attention to the severity.

Preliminary Round [Territory Offensive and Defensive Battle]:

The 30 members who enter the preliminary round will be divided into six teams of 5 people each, and will fight in the same terrain to attack and defend the territory;

Each team guards their own territory and attacks their own target, that is, three one-on-one games are played at the same time, and capturing the other people's territory is invalid;

When one of the two opposing teams captures the opposite territory, the match between the two teams ends and the player plays;

After discussion by the judges, the contribution of the magicians in each team will be awarded 10/8/6/4/2 points, and the three winning teams will each add 2 points, and then add / subtract 2/1/0 points according to the length of the game;

Semi-final [Hostilities]:

After the preliminary round, the top 16 people in terms of points will be ranked according to the score of the battle table to determine the quarterfinals.

This is followed by the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals, each of which takes up one day, for a total of six days, and the seventh day happens to be the harvest festival.

Streamers fluttered, cheers continued, and people were buzzing, and Dispel got up with the microphone.

"Magnolia's first Demon Dao Conference has officially begun!
