"Bi... the game is over!

"

"The winner is Laxus Team, Jura Reikis of the 'Snake Princess' Scales'!

"

The entire audience was instantly excited.

“Oh oh oh! So awesome!

!As expected of Jiula-san!

"

"Isn't it?! Is it really fake?!"

"Can you win this??!"

The unexpected result made Laxus look silent and Kira shed tears. They were both dumbfounded at the same time.

"Tell me, how much did you spend to get her to fight match-fixing?"

Under Laxus's gaze, Kira shed two helpless and desolate tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked up to the sky and sighed angrily: "I have known since I was a child that the outcome of a game does not necessarily depend on what is happening within the game, but may also depend on what is happening outside of the game."

, I didn’t expect that after so many years of taking every precaution, I still got caught today.”

Laxus was silent for two seconds and said calmly: "Well...it didn't cost a penny."

"hateful!

"

Kira hit the stone pillar with a 20-year-old fist.

On the other side, the 'Emperor's Shield' camp.

Zeref felt very novel and interesting about the changes in the battle. With a faint smile, he said to the people behind him: "What an interesting development..."

Ogast: "..."

Father, are you serious when you say this?

Timaria is our companion after all, but now he has lost the duel in such a humiliating way. He will definitely be laughed at by others!

After thinking about it, Ogast decided to explain to Timaria: "Timaria underestimated the enemy this time and was too playful!"

"No need to defend her, Ogast!"

Zeref smiled softly, but he looked a little sinister, "I don't blame her. Speaking of which, Timaria has become more and more temperamental over the years, so it would be a good idea to let her remember this lesson."

Then he glanced at the people behind him who were suppressing laughter and said, "You can laugh if you want."

Ogast shook his head. It doesn't matter if others laugh. How can we laugh at this time?

"We won't..."

"Oh hehe... Timaria is so cute and stupid~" Brandish's voice came from behind.

"..."

Needless to say, everyone else in our family is laughing at her!

Auguste turned slightly to look at Brandish, and his voice deepened: "Brandish, don't laugh at your companions!"

Unless you can't help it.

"Oh, I know, old man." Brandish smiled obediently and continued eating ice cream.

I will laugh again when she comes back.

After the battle was over, Jura returned to the waiting area for the competition with a bit of confusion, a bit of disbelief, and a bit of melancholy. As soon as he passed by, he saw Kira coming towards him.

"Jiula-san, can't you tell? You, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, don't even know the magic virtues, and you are conducting a sneak attack??"

"This...the situation forces me to be helpless..."

Faced with Kira's joke, Jiura just smiled and raised his hand to touch the big bald spot on his head.

If he could, he wouldn't want to do that. After all, any knowledgeable person could see that Timaria was letting off steam throughout the whole process, but in the end, he didn't hold back and resorted to intrigues. This was somewhat inappropriate.

But there was no way, the opponent was too strong, so he had no choice but to make this move.

Besides, a sneak attack? Can the magician thing be considered a sneak attack? This is called fighting wisdom!

Even if this duel may affect his reputation and he may be scolded for being talented but not moral, it is still a trick he learned from a lady named Urrutia two days ago... No! It should be said that it is also for the sake of his guild companions.

, a last resort operation, because I am the magician of the 'Snake Princess' Scale'!

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after thinking about it, the depressed mood in Jiula's chest was immediately relieved, and his mood improved instantly. Then he straightened his back and walked to the rest area with his head held high.

"What did he seem to have just figured out?"

"Who knows..."

Kira and Laxus looked at each other briefly, and then turned their attention again to the crystal screen in the arena, which was displaying the names of the four magicians for the next two-person battle.

So far, both teams have two wins and two losses respectively. There are two more double matches and one single match ahead, and the outcome of the battle is still unknown.

“Here are the rosters for the third double duel!

"

“Oh oh oh?!

This name?!"

Chapati, who was presiding over the competition, looked at the list in her hand and let out weird exclamations one after another, "It's really unexpected!

I believe that when everyone sees the name later, they will be as shocked as me!

"

"Then, let's invite the members of Team Kira, Natsu Dragneel! Rakaide Dragneel!

"

"And members of Team Laxus, Imber! Sawyer!

"

Thump thump thump…

The names of the four people popped up on the crystal screen.

For a time, except for a few insiders, all the audience in the venue, the magicians of various guilds, and even the members of Fairy Tail and the Emperor's Shield were all shocked.

"Nani?! Draganilu??"

"Has the same last name as Natsu?! Are they the same family?!"

"How is that possible?! Wasn't Natsu raised by a dragon? Wasn't that guy the same??"

"Idiot! The dragon that raised Natsu is called Yunguni, and Dragneel is Natsu's own last name!"

"How could that happen..."

"Eh?! Wait! His smell is just like Natsu-san!

"

"What did you say?! Could he be Natsu's long-lost brother?! But neither his face nor his temperament look alike at all!"

As one of the few people who knew the relationship between Larcade and Zeref, as well as the relationship between Zeref and Natsu, the moment he saw Larcade's full name, Ogast immediately looked in front of him.

Zeref.

"Father..."

Olgast, who didn't like Lacade in the first place, felt even more unhappy at this time: I haven't disclosed my full name to the outside world yet, how dare this adopted person take the lead?! I can't swallow this breath!

"It should have been Kira, right? It doesn't matter, Larcade is now my son anyway."

Zeref smiled again, but this time he smiled with a frown, which was the legendary bitter smile, with a hint of doting on his brows, "As a brother, just be generous and let him...

…”

'Nani?! You want me to give in to him?! This bastard...'

Ogast's hand holding the magic wand tightened, and his fist suddenly became hard. It was not until he turned his head and saw the distance that his mother Mavis received the same look that he let go.

'Forget it, since even Mother has asked for it, I'll just press it for now and take advantage of that guy!'

At this moment, Zeref's voice came from the front again: "I just don't know, how will Natsu react after knowing his identity?"

Ogast narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Natsu who stepped onto the arena: "You should be surprised..."

In the arena...

Natsu stared blankly at the crystal screen in the distance, the person with the same surname as his own, and then looked at the man next to him who was wearing a cross, with his palms clasped together in front of his chest, with a pious and peaceful expression, and his whole body was exuding white holy light and smell.

The guy who looked very similar to me frowned instantly.

"Why is your last name also Dragnaru?"
