In the arena, 22 magicians, plus the host mysterious pumpkin sauce, stand together.

Kira and Laxus stood in the middle, staring at each other, as if fiery electric sparks were rubbing in the air.

"What are the two of them doing?" Silk, an innocent girl from the Dragon's Heart, asked.

"It's a very dangerous contest of magic, and it's also a contest of concentration and endurance!"

Someone put it in the girl's ear and talked nonsense in a serious way, pointed at the two people who were facing each other, and said, "See? The magic is so powerful that it can be like them, and it can be used for thousands of tricks just by looking at them......

The girl glanced at Urrutia who was close to her ear, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and complained, "This sister, I'm not a child anymore, so I won't believe in this kind of story."

Another girl, Korayin, chimed in, "That's right...... There's no such thing as mental combat with magic! You've seen too much magic, haven't you?"

Urrutia smiled and said to herself: The little girl now is not cute at all! Or our Melti is much easier to deceive!

The two girls, one black and one white, glanced at each other, and their eyes communicated: Strange, I heard that she is the main body of Natiasan, why are the personalities of the two so different?

Mysterious Pumpkin Sauce walked between Kira and Laxus with short legs: "Now I need you to select the team members, I will help you record them one by one and convey them to everyone, Pumpkin~"

"By the way, tomorrow's matchup will be three one-on-one and four two-on-two, for a total of seven games, and the team that wins four or more games will be invited to a gala dinner hosted by the Fiore royal family tomorrow night."

"Nani?! A gala dinner hosted by the royal family?!"

As soon as Pumpkin Sauce's words came out, the magicians who were originally not so interested in the game instantly came to their senses, their eyes glowing, and their saliva flowed.

Kira reconfirmed, "You just said that the team was invited, which means that even if the individual fails, as long as the team wins, can you still attend the dinner?"

"Exactly~" Pumpkin Sauce danced and seemed to be in a good mood.

"In this case, we have to win......

Kira sighed and looked around at the wolf-like creatures, "You know how to eat the feast prepared by the royal family, right?"

"Uh-huh...... You have to give it your all!"

"Pick me, choose me!

I'm willing to follow you, Kira!

」

"That's right, with Kira's presence, it's equivalent to winning a straight game!

」

"No, but it's not our turn to choose now, right?"

"Yes!" The magicians suddenly realized, and then there was a burst of regret, "Only the captain chooses the team's share, and no team member chooses the captain's share!"

Pumpkin-sauce is pleased with the reaction of the magicians.

As a king who loves magic but has no magical talent of his own, he is very fond of the profession of a magician, and the "Eclipse Project" that he secretly planned behind his back requires a lot of magic, so the more and longer these magicians fight, the happier he becomes.

"So, may I ask if you two are ready, and if so, let's start selecting our teammates now, shall we?"

"Yes!"

"Let's get started!"

Kira and Laxus nodded.

"Then start with Laxussan, who has a low individual score, and choose one of your team members first!" Pumpkin Sauce made a "please" motion, then took out a pen and paper and began to record.

"Gula!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Laxus first chose the trump card of the famous "Scales of the Serpent Queen", and Gula, who was ranked among the "Ten Sacred Magicians".

The audience smiled and bowed, and in their opinion, if they were in the position of Laxus, they would have made the same choice.

Pumpkin Sauce nodded, ticked behind Gula's name on the clipboard, and looked

Kira: "So, Kirasan, choose your two teammates!"

Kira smiled slightly, unconcerned about Laxus's act of snatching Gula, "I choose Timaria and Raked, the Emperor's Shield!"

Timaria and Rakad?

Pumpkin Sauce blinked her confused eyes, and the audience was puzzled.

So far, Timaria's fighting style is incomprehensible to them, or rather invisible, in the competitive mode "Hunting", she hits Brian dozens of times in one moment, and is instantly killed by Kira; The subsequent two-player battle was also an instant kill of "Cyan Pegasus" Hibiki and Yin Fan, and it can be said that her strength did not show much at all.

But compared to Marcard, Timaria has shown enough.

You know, Rakad hasn't played until now, so it's unknown what his strength is, and what magic he uses, is such a person really worthy of Kira being pulled into the squad at this time??

Is it a bold move? Or do you already know the roots?

Everyone couldn't help but be suspicious, and even Rakaid didn't know why Kira chose him.

Among the people present, only a few people who were familiar with Kira, such as Elusa, such as Laxus, such as Urrutia, knew that the reason why Kira did this must be that he had relevant information about the other party.

Speaking of which, before they went to the Western Continent, Kira had already taken out the information of the Twelve Shields, but he didn't talk about Rakaid in detail at that time.

[In view of the general environment,

After hearing Kira's choice, Laxus was silent for a moment, and then went on to select two strong team members: "Elusa, Mira!"

The two female devils of the guild have grown up together since childhood, and their strength and tacit understanding need not be said.

"Vision!" Elusa and Mira give Laxus a thumbs up at the same time.

"The next two...... Urrutia, Natsu!"

Perhaps because of Kira's influence, Urrutia is no longer the infinitely weakened assistant in the comics, but a genuine strong man with enough strength to serve as the "Holy Ten".

According to Gray, every time Urutia uses the Ice Magic, she can vaguely see Uru's demeanor in her.

"I knew it was going to be like this...... But you shouldn't be at a loss, and even if you lose in the end, you'll treat us to a big meal, right?"

Kira's expression changed, and he felt that Urrutia's smile at this time was very sinister, very sinister, so he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Don't say such things that are not good for morale!"

After taking Urrutia, Kira stretched out his hand to Natsu, compared to the two weak shields at the bottom of the twelve shields, the current Natsu is undoubtedly stronger, as long as it is not a bug-type magic, basically no one can beat him!

After all, he is the protagonist of the original comics, and this strength is still there.

Hearing that he was named, Natsu suddenly raised his fighting spirit: "Will you become an opponent with Elusa and Laxus??" Oooh oh!

I'm on fire!

！」

"Imbell, Aguirre!"

Sure enough, after Kira took Natsu, Laxus stretched out his hand to the last two shields, he was not a fool, and he could see that the strength of these two people was much stronger than the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates.

The powerful magicians are out of grabbing, and now they have to choose among the middle-class magicians, and this time it is Kira's turn to choose first, and of course he will directly take the two strongest of them.

"Richard, Kana!"

As one of the former "Six Demon Generals", Richard's strength is definitely not weak, you know, he can be on par with Gula in a short time.

The soft earth magic is similar to the rock magic of Gula, if it weren't for the fact that his magic power was a little worse, he would have been able to enter the Holy Ten Echelon.

Besides, Kana, although she was suspected of picking up leaks at the beginning, her S-level title is real, and now she has got rid of the shackles of the past and created new cards, and her strength has reached a higher level.

As a witness to the birth of the "Kana Card", Kira knows best what she is capable of now.

"You didn't choose me until now, right? You two will remember it for me!" Kanapi didn't smile, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart.

Obviously, he is also an S-class magician of the guild! Why was it chosen 11th? I really think my mother's strength is very poor, right? I'll give you a good look tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Kana unconsciously touched her right forearm, and no one noticed that in the long sleeves of the white open-breasted shirt, a black magic pattern was tightly covered.

Kira was speechless at this guy's stress reaction: "Idiot! Being named late means that your strength is poor, and the more angry you are, the more embarrassed you are......

After this selection, Laxus hesitated, because the rest of the people he didn't know at all, and the scores were all 10 points, and there were basically no good parameters to consider.

He doesn't have Kira's perception and intelligence, and it's not so simple to choose a slightly stronger one from a group of rookies.

"Those two little girls!"

After some consideration. Laxus pointed to Silk and Kolayin in the Dragon's Heart.

Laxus is a straight man, and he definitely doesn't remember their names, and he chose these two people entirely because they are both second-generation dragon slayer wizards like him, and they are also the white and shadow attributes that he is more familiar with.

This familiarity naturally came from Stinger and Rogge, who had joined the guild not long ago.

Laxus knew that these two boys who joined the guild at the centennial celebration had a tacit understanding far beyond ordinary people, and their attributes were also very strong, and they could even perform combination magic; And the two girls in front of them are twins, and the degree of tacit understanding must be higher, and it should have a better effect on two against two.

"Twins...... Luxus, you're very good at it......

Kira laughed inappropriately and went on to name the two men, "Pakas! And also...... McCalla!"

The reason for choosing Pakas is very simple, that guy is somewhat famous in it, and this fame comes from his good physical skills, and he is also an Elfman, so he can still use it.

As for McCala, the Star Slayer Dragon Magus, the power of the stars is also a little stronger than the rest of them.

At this point, Kira's teammates have a total of 75 points, and Laxus's teammates have 60 points.

At this time, there were five of the 20 magicians left, namely Sawyer with 20 points, Yuka, Narupudingku and Burya with 10 points, and Toby with 5 points.

Kira's teammates are two miles away, and Laxus's teammates are three miles away.

In order to keep the total score of the two players consistent, the distribution of the five players should be: Laxus gets Sawyer, Toby, and a 10-point Magus, and Kira gets the other two 10-point Magus, so that the total score of both teams is 95 points.

And now it's Laxus' turn to pick first, so he can prioritize a stronger one from the three 10-point magicians.

"That's it!"

Not surprisingly, Laxus chose Yuka of "Snake Scales", his wave magic is quite distinctive, and his performance in these two days of competition is also remarkable.

Kira had no choice but to accept the two magicians who were left behind by the "Crow's Tail".

At this point, the selection of players is officially over, and the lineups of the two teams are:

First team: Kira, Raked, Timaria, Urrutia, Naz, Richard, Kana, Pakas, McCalalla, Blaiya, Narupudingku

Second team: Laxus, Gula, Elusa, Mira, Imbel, Aguirre, Sido, Kolayin, Yuka, Sawyer, Toby

"So ......"

"Three one-on-one, four two-on-two, how to combine such a lineup?"
