The empty arena was bustling with all the magicians who had signed up for the competition. Affected by the atmosphere, they did not dare to relax at all and looked at their opponents around them with vigilance.

"All the contestants are here, let's announce the rules of the competition."

The announcer performed his duties conscientiously, and the voice of the broadcast echoed throughout the stadium: "This is a competition to 'seize the qualifications to continue the game,' and the corresponding 'promotion ticket' is a crystal ball thrown by an instrument in the air.

!”

Everyone looked up, and sure enough they saw three metal machines floating in the air above the venue, moving slowly and randomly forward, backward, left, and right, with a constantly beating countdown on them.

"There's a countdown up there..."

"Is the crystal ball just dropped from above?"

"It's so high, won't it break?"

The announcer continued to explain the rules: "Contestants cannot attack the instrument! When the countdown on the instrument ends, a random number of crystal balls will be dropped. At the end of the competition time, the player who gets the magic crystal will be qualified to advance.

Contestants who fail to do so will be eliminated!”

"As you can see, there are three instruments in total, which means that there are only three injections, with an interval of 20 minutes each time, and the competition lasts one hour!"

】

The rules were declared over at this point, and both the players on the court and the audience off the court began heated discussions.

"The quantity dropped each time is random, which means '0' is also possible, right?"

"Instead of being separated, are they all coming together for a big melee? It's more troublesome than imagined!"

"Using the countdown to delay time is to let us eliminate other contestants as much as possible before that, right?"

"If you want to advance, you can't waste too much time at the beginning. It's also important to measure your own strength..."

Hibiki from the cyan Pegasus controlled his ancient document, pressing the virtual keyboard with both hands, with a confident smile on his face that was popular with countless girls: "In this regard, my ancient document can calculate the most effective

Way to snatch it!”

Just when he was satisfied, an extremely arrogant voice interrupted the movements of his hands.

“Wha kak kak!

!”

"What are you talking about?! The rules just said that the person who got the crystal ball at the end of the game will advance. There is no limit on the number of people who can advance, right? This means that it is okay for only one team to advance, right?"

There is no doubt that this person who plans to fight sixty-five is the star wizard in the magic world - Natsu, the "Fire Dragon"!

Being among more than sixty magicians, Natsu didn't have the slightest fear or fear of his opponents that normal people should have. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit. His hands even burned uncontrollably and started to beat due to excitement.

The flames declared the passion of this cherry-haired boy.

"So... as long as I defeat you all, or break the crystal ball in other people's hands, won't the subsequent games be much easier?!"

Upon hearing Natsu's declaration of war, everyone's eyes on the field and off the field were focused on him, shocked with curiosity and amusement.

"Is this guy an idiot?! Doesn't this put him directly on the opposite side of everyone?!"

"In this competition system, it is common sense to combine familiar magicians to eliminate powerful opponents?! What on earth is that guy thinking?!

"

"Eliminate everyone but yourself? It sounds interesting!"

"I recognize him. This guy is the wizard of Fairy Tail, Fire Dragon Natsu!

"

"A dragon slayer? In terms of magic power, he is not an ordinary person!"

"Hahaha... the people of 'Fairy Tail' are still so unique!"

In the Fairy Tail position in the audience, all the magicians had wonderful expressions, either yelling, being dumbfounded, breaking out in cold sweat, or laughing wildly.

"I knew it would be like this..."

“Oh oh oh!

Naz-san really knows how to play the 'snatch' game!

"

"Hey, hey...that guy has ruined the children!

President, do you really have nothing to do?"

"What the hell? This is the specialty of 'Fairy Tail'!

"

"You also said that Fairy Tail is a serious guild. It's really...fortunately, I never believed it."

"Hahaha... It's really Natsu's style!"

"A man must rise to the challenge!

"

"If it were me, I would do the same thing!"

Magic is very powerful, not only between magicians and ordinary people, but also between magicians and magicians. Ordinary people can fight at most one to ten, but powerful magicians,

It is truly possible to defeat one against a hundred, or even one against a thousand, making it invincible.

So can Natsu hit sixty-five? If he faced a group of crooked novice magicians, that would be totally fine, but this is obviously not the case now!

"If I had known earlier, I would have let Kira play! One dozen sixty-five is nothing to him!

"

"But it's not difficult for Natsu, right?"

"Well... not necessarily..."

"Look there!"

Following Kira's gaze, several people quickly locked their sights on the man on the field. He had short brown hair, dark skin, pointed ears, a devilish smile similar to Gajeel's face, and was wearing a thin white shirt.

Long sleeves.

He is the cousin of "Fairy Tail"——

"Eric?!"

Everyone immediately exclaimed, "Where is he?!"

Why are you there? You must be participating in a competition!

But is the magic guild that Eric belongs to... the witch's crime? This kind of magic guild that was incorporated by the royal family also comes to participate in the "Great Demon Fighting Exercise"?

"If it was Eric, he should be able to grab the ball, right?"

Due to the close relationship between the other party and Jinana, several people knew that Eric could use sound magic, which had a great advantage in fighting, not to mention this kind of 'plundering' competition.

If the Sin of the Witch also joins the ‘Great Demon Fight’, wouldn’t Jellal, as the president, not be able to participate? Then the strongest person among them should be...Urudia, right?

Under the two of them, it should be An Ye and Eric.

"But in this kind of melee situation, will he really not listen?"

After Kira complained softly, she suddenly realized that Makarov beside her was not in a good state, and she suddenly became curious: "President, what's wrong with you?"

"That guy is..."

At this time, Makarov's face was serious, his expression solemn, and his eyes were staring straight at a figure on the field. It was obviously summer, but his hands and feet were cold, and he was still sweating on his head.

Kira instantly made a judgment: President, this must be kidney deficiency!

But kidney deficiency sometimes occurs after overexertion.

Makarov has been so busy with the competition these days that he doesn't even have time to take a nap or hook up with a young lady, so his phenomenon may also be caused by fatigue.

So Kira followed Makarov's gaze to the field, and instantly understood that he had a weak kidney... Oh no, it was the reason for the cold sweat: Among the crowd, there stood an arrogant black man--'Desert King'

'Argyle!

The moment he saw the other party, Kira couldn't help blurting out in confusion: "The 'Desert King' with twelve shields?! Why is he here?!"

Since the ‘Desert King’ is here, what about the other twelve shields? Are they also present?

Suddenly, Kira turned her head and looked at Mavis behind her.

Just now, Mavis said that Zeref sensed a familiar magic power after coming to Kurokas. He thought it was an 'eclipse' or something, but it turned out to be a man with twelve shields!

Since Agil is here, it's not difficult to guess who his teammates are. They must be the other twelve shields!

In the Western Continent, the only people who were not harmed by Kira's plan were Yinbel, Lacade, Neinhardt, and Jacob. Kira knew their strength. They were all at the top of the Holy Ten. It would be impossible to put them here.

It's about defeating all the heroes. In the entire Fiore Kingdom, it is estimated that only Fairy Tail can compete with them.

Imagine that at the 'Grand Demon Fighting Exercise' held in the Kingdom of Fiore, the magicians of the Alvares Empire defeated all the heroes. If this news spread...

Good guy...this is going to ruin things!

At this moment, Kira suddenly regretted not letting Gildas participate.
