Chapter 89 Mei Li: Listen to me, thank you
"In this big magic showdown, the guild rankings are based on the corresponding total scores of magicians from beginning to end. From the crystal screen in the venue, we can actually see the ranking of the magic guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore."
"But as the competition progresses today, there have been phenomena like "no manpower participating in the competition" and "all members of a certain guild have been eliminated." Therefore, the next competition can no longer continue the previous "competition" and "duell" modes."
"After discussion between the competition official and our three judges, we unanimously decided to make slight changes to the next competition format!"
The competition format needs to be changed??
Isn’t this too sudden?
Kira was stunned at first, but soon figured out the reason: Mysterious Pumpkin Sauce actually implies that the current guild ranking is the final ranking. Regarding this, his own guild "Fairy Tail" doesn't care, they are anyway
First, how could people from other guilds accept it?
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that scores and strength are completely unequal is not convincing. So far in this game, luck still has too much influence on the ranking.
The magicians themselves were dissatisfied, and the audience was even less likely to agree.
You must know that popular magicians are equivalent to big stars in this world. Their fans and support groups are quite large. Although their performance is not as crazy as in the three-dimensional world, if you underestimate their energy, you will definitely suffer a lot. Even if
Even the official kingdom cannot bear this kind of public opinion!
Who told this that this is not a three-dimensional world where all power is in the hands of the royal family?
In this world where magic exists, magicians have a transcendent status to the kingdom just like cultivators in a fantasy world have to ordinary human dynasties.
Although magicians usually do not disobey the kingdom's orders due to traditional thinking, and there is a Senate watching from the sidelines, the royal family does not dare to take a gamble!
After all, the Western Continent next door is a typical example of a country founded by magic.
This led to the fact that even the mysterious Pumpkin Jam, whose true identity was Old Thomas, King of Fiore, did not dare to make a decision and declare the game to be over.
So we can only modify the rules, extend the competition, and continue to give a convincing answer!
"First of all, the competition time. We tentatively plan to extend the original competition plan by two days, that is, the competition will continue until July 7. If we count from tomorrow, there will be three days left."
The audience was silent for a moment, and then began to whisper to each other——
"You want to extend the game time? Although we really want to see them fight, the tickets are very expensive! Are you paying for it?"
"That's right! We won't do this kind of thing..."
Pumpkin Sauce's voice came again: "Of course, since there are extra days on the 6th and 7th due to temporary changes in the competition system, the competition team has decided not to charge admission fees!"
"We agreed!
"
"The magician fight is so beautiful!
No matter how you look at it, you’ll never get tired of it!
"
"Just hit number 10!"
"
The initially hesitant and dissatisfied audience suddenly became excited after hearing that the contestants were so generous. They wished they could change the rules a little more and play for two more days.
After all, who can resist watching a free magical battle?
Seeing that the dissatisfaction of the audience at the venue turned into praise and cheers again, Pumpkin Jam finally let go of his hanging heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Here are the rules of the competition for the next few days!"
"The following games will be different from the past four days. They will no longer be held in the form of "guilds". Instead, the remaining 22 people will form mixed teams between different guilds, and then compete in the knockout rounds in different formats!"
After saying the words "Mysterious Pumpkin Sauce", it was like a falling rock that stirred up a thousand waves, causing an uproar in the entire venue.

"Nani?! Not as a guild?!"
"But isn't this competition meant to determine the best magic guild in Fiore? What would it be like to compete without guilds?!
"
"If we mix up the teams, how will we rank them later..."
"It's so random! It's like it was decided casually. Are all the planners of the competition so casual?!"
Tens of thousands of spectators discussed the upcoming changes to the competition, and many people even started to complain directly to vent their dissatisfaction and resentment caused by the elimination of their favorite magician.
After the discussion subsided slightly, Pumpkin Sauce raised the microphone and continued to explain tomorrow's rules: "For tomorrow's game, we will divide the existing 22 magicians into two teams for an 11 vs. 11 duel!
"
"It's 11 versus 11...is it better than playing football??"
Hearing the somewhat familiar numbers, Kira couldn't help but complain, but soon he remembered that there seemed to be no sports like football in this world.
"The two people with the highest current personal scores will be the captains. The two captains will select 10 of the remaining 20 people in order from low to high according to the current personal scores of the magicians to form their own teams, and then the captains will allocate them.
Forming three one-on-one battles and four two-on-two battles.”
The two people with the highest individual scores now are Kira, who has 30 points, and Laxus, who has 25 points. In other words, the two of them will become the captains leading the two teams in tomorrow's game.
Hearing this, the people from each magic guild looked at "Fairy Tail", and the people from "Fairy Tail" looked at Kira and Laxus.
"If it's the two of them, wouldn't it be unacceptable to serve as captain?"
"Are those two guys facing off again? This time with foreign aid, Laxus might be able to win..."
"Hahaha...it seems so interesting!"
"Damn it! Such fun things happen without me, I'm so unhappy!
"
The conversations among the people around him reminded Laxus of the past where he had repeatedly lost to Kira since he was a child, and he couldn't help but look at him with a bit more fighting spirit and provocation.
My current strength is not what it used to be. I just want to take advantage of this competition to avenge my past humiliation and get back all the humiliation I suffered in the past! Just wait for my revenge, Kira!
Then Laxus saw Kira slowly turn his head, drooping his dead fish eyes, and gave him a "??".
"What's the matter?"
This bastard!
!
Laxus' fist hardened instantly!
But he knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he suppressed his anger and continued to follow the rules.
"The order of captain selection is as follows: the captain with a low personal score selects one person first, then the captain with a high personal score selects two people, and then the captain with a low personal score selects two people, and so on until the captain with a high personal score selects the last person.
.”
"There's another rule: the total points scored by each team need to be as equal as possible."
"Because the total score is now 245 points. If the situation is as equal as possible, one team will have 125 points and one team will have 120 points. If the scores of the two captains are subtracted, the total score of the team members will be 95 points."
As soon as these two rules came out, everyone knew that this was a competition to judge the "strength" and "score" of 20 magicians. How to select teammates with strong strength and low scores, namely Kira and Lark
What Sass has to do now.
Soon, under the notice of the host, 22 magicians returned to the arena.
Kira and Laxus need to select their respective team members at this time, so that they have enough time to arrange their troops and build up the audience's expectations for the next day's game.
Kira looked at the score table above his head and complained in a low voice: "So, Sawyer should be the least cost-effective, right? Then the ones with the highest cost-effectiveness should be Jura, Natsu, Larcade, and Agil..."
"Hey, hey, hey...you look like you're at the vegetable market
What’s the matter with the tone of voice that sounds like you’re shopping for groceries?!”
"Huh? Is there a problem??"
Kira glanced at Sawyer, who was approaching him and yelling at him unconvincedly, and then turned his head slightly to look at the "Emperor's Shield" people.
These people all have special skills. If we can bring them together, this battle should go smoothly.
But the people in your own guild are also very important, because the magicians in your own guild are capable, and you may be able to defeat someone stronger than you with faith.
At the same time, the leaders of other guilds like Urrutia and Jura are also very good magicians, no worse than those guys from our own family.
Finally, there are those with average or even poor strength, as well as those who are hated by others and have the "Raven's Tail" that neither Kira nor Laxus wants.
Forget about Bulaya, she is not Yin Wan's confidant, and she has no hatred towards "Fairy Tail", but Narubudinku is different. Not only does he have a personality, but he also has no favorable impression of "Fairy Tail". It's simply impossible to keep him.
What a waste!
