Chapter 592: Makarov: The old man will retire next year!
Wendy only lost to Urrutia on this move, but she didn't fall yet.
The assessment rules of this level are that the candidates can advance as long as they hold on until sunset, and Kira is still confident in her strength, besides, Urrutia also cares about this little girl, and she doesn't really do it from beginning to end.
Rather than using all her strength to eliminate Wendy, this way of fighting by relying on the Afterimage of Time to attack and hiding herself is more like Urrutia training her fighting instincts.
Indeed, Wendy, who is also the first generation of Dragon Slayer Magi, is far inferior to Natsu and Gajiru in this regard.
What Kira doesn't know is that in addition to admiring Wendy, there is also a relationship with Melti.
Because Melti is one of Wendy's few friends of the same age, Urrutia, as the guardian of the former's sister and mother, naturally has to take more care of the latter. In other words, from the very beginning, Urrutia didn't really plan to let Wendy stop here.
As for Gray? Excuse me! Boys should be more experienced.
Peng Peng Peng ...... Bang Bang Bang ......
At this time, Gray was training with Timaria, and from time to time the two of them used magic to fight against waves, or slashed each other with ice swords and daggers, and they shot mercilessly, leaving several afterimages in the air with one move.
Gray's swordsmanship can only be regarded as so-so, what 'Ice Demon Sword' and 'Ice Saint Sword' basically rely on strength and the stability and coldness of the ice shape when fighting, and there is not much skill to speak of, and although Timaria has the prestige of 'a female knight who gallops on the battlefield', it is basically obtained by time pause, and the melee ability of the two is not as strong as Elusa's.
Fortunately, their strength is very similar, so the fight is not bad visually.
Suddenly, an inexplicable telepathy surged into his heart, Gray instantly exploded, his hand movements slowed down at the same time, and he was kicked several meters away by Timaria, and slid directly on the ice for several meters until he smashed a piece of ice grass.
"What's wrong?" Timaria paused, looking curiously at Gray, who looked like a rag on the floor.
Gray shook his head and stood up, his mind full of confusion: what was this inexplicable malice? It seems to be exactly the same feeling as being pitted by Kira before!
Looking around, he found that except for Jubia, who was standing on the edge of the battlefield and watching the battle here all the time, and was anxious at this time, the other people had long since disappeared.
What about the Kira? Wendy and Urrutia are also gone......
Could it be that Kira is hurting me? No, it's not! There's no reason for him to make a move on me at this level! But it doesn't seem like he needs to look at the time and place to do this......
"No, nothing!"
Whether it's Kira or someone else, you'd better settle the battle in front of you quickly!
Gray shook his head and once again set his eyes on Timaria in front of him.
……
At the highest peak of the examination room, more than a dozen people gathered here, or training, or playing, or having a meeting, each busy with their own business.
Standing on the tallest rock, holding a special telescope, Mebis is condescending, and with her magical perception beyond ordinary people, she can basically see all the battlefields.
Preshito and Makarov were on the side, discussing how the third level should be held.
In this assessment, each candidate was considered by the three of them, and the original intention was to let these supporters hone the candidates, just like in previous years, let the S-level magicians in the guild inspect the S-level candidates, so that these little ghosts can personally feel how big this world is and how strong the magicians outside are.
Things were not far from what they had imagined, and everyone had made considerable progress, even the S-class imps.
"Abba Greene and Fillid were eliminated, Lu XZ up, Jubia had nothing to do, Naz and Gagiru were scoreless, Wendy was temporarily at a disadvantage, and Gray was in a scorching situation."
"It's just as I expected!"
Once again, he proved his wisdom and calculating ability, and Mebis was proud, and his petite and delicate face smiled brightly, like a pure white and immaculate angel.
Ogaste nodded dotingly, but in the end he still didn't say anything like "you're amazing" or "you're doing a good job", because that would make him think that this girl was not his mother, but his granddaughter.
But he still took Mebis's words very cooperatively, and asked pretending to be curious: "There are still several hours until sunset, I wonder how many people will be left by then?" ”
"Well...... You'll know when the time comes. Mebis smiled and didn't answer directly.
She has now learned not to pretend to be a prophet in front of others, because it turns out that there are too many things in this world that cannot be calculated, and even if she is quite confident in herself, she does not want to experience the embarrassment of being slapped in the face.
Makarov's voice revealed a wave of exhaustion: "Look at it like this, this game will not knock out a lot of people. Do you have any good advice for the next level? ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to let them draw lots and fight?"
Preshito squinted his remaining left eye as if it wasn't his business, "To get to that point has proven their strength." ”
The wind blowing from the peak blew his white hair and white beard, and even if he sat cross-legged on the ground, he still did not lose his strong bearing.
Fight?
Makarov shook his head in silence, if only this was a problem that could be solved in one fight!
Now it's the selection of the guild's S-level magician, it's a very important assessment, it's not a magic dao conference, you can't just look at the strength!
The first two levels of questions by Mebis and Preshito are very good, at least they test the strength, intelligence, luck, etc. of the candidates, if it is their turn to just let them fight, it will be too unskilled! It will seem that his current president is far inferior to the first and second generations! — although that's exactly what it is......
According to the character of that group of imps, the lottery duel or everyone scuffle, you will definitely like it, right?
Thinking of this, Makarov couldn't help frowning: "Let's think about it again......"
Perceiving the melancholy of the person in front of him, Preshito suddenly said: "You are also old, Makarov! After this time, are you going to consider stepping down from the chairman's position? ”
It has been 49 years since Preshito stepped down and Makarov took over as the third president of Fairy Tail, and next year will be the 50th year, which is also the 100th anniversary of the guild's founding, and Makarov will also enter the age of 90 at that time, which is indeed a good opportunity for the old and the new to alternate!
Makarov suddenly realized one thing: 'So the old man has been in office for so long?' It's almost the same time as the previous two generations combined......
】
"Step down? It doesn't seem impossible! Makarov muttered softly, this time he really took the idea of retiring president to heart.
Whether it is the first president of Mebis, who enjoys the family relationship of mother and son, or the second president Presitto, who has entered the state of health, they all make this little old man envious.
I've been busy for most of my life, so it's time to enjoy it, right?
OK! It's decided! The old man will retire next year!
……
Above the woods, Kira was flying quickly in one direction with her wings outstretched, leaving a few familiar complaints in her path: "Dispel, this guy...... It seems that from the beginning, it seems to be rushing straight in the direction of Natsu and Gajiru, it can't be cheating, right? ”
At this time, Kira had already left the center of the examination room and hurried to the battlefield of Natsu and Gajiru, the two of them had been fighting for a while, and from the perspective of magic changes and stability, it was basically a tie, and the reason why Kira was in such a hurry was because Dispel was about to arrive there.
Dispel has no magical powers, and Kira's ordinary method of perceiving magic does not apply to him, but they have been together for so long, and the two are isotopes, and they can still be located by breath.
It's just that Kira doesn't perceive it all the time, which gives the other party the opportunity to smuggle out of Yinping.
Well, in fact, it was Kira's negligence.
"Wait for me, Natsu!
