Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

Just as Erza and the others were diligently honing their magical power.

"It seems they've been working very hard!"

"I absolutely cannot let them surpass me like this."

Not far from the back mountain of Fairy Tail, Laxus, wearing headphones, secretly observed Erza and the others' training progress. He had to adjust his training plan according to the speed at which Erza and the others were improving their strength.

He was determined to win the Fairy Tail guild's S-rank mage exam this time...

in the next time.

Erza, Ultear, and Mirajane practically lived inside the Magic Development Bureau, arbitrarily monopolizing the powerful development machine.

As a result, the other mages in the Fairy Tail guild who also planned to use the development device to train their magic power could only watch helplessly...

"Damn it! Erza, you can't keep hogging the magic generator."

"Even if your father is Ian, you can't go this far!"

"Yes, yes! Ian promised us that from now on, all the guild's mages will be able to use his improved magic generator for free..."

In response, the mages loudly rebuked them.

"what?"

"Don't try to intimidate me with your father's name..."

"If you want to use the developer tools, then you'll have to follow Fairy Tail's rules and defeat us..."

"If you can't beat them, just wait patiently."

Erza and the others, however, did not tolerate these Fairy Tail mages.

Without a word, they decided to resolve the issue in the style of Fairy Tail...

"Well, let's wait until you've finished using it!"

Immediately, the mages who had planned to use the magic development device backed down.

Who told them they were no match for Erza, Mirajane, and Ultear?!

In fact, even when they joined forces, they would have a hard time defeating one of the three women.

Let alone three?!

Yes, in their Fairy Tail guild, everything is decided by strength.

Meanwhile, according to the current situation of their Fairy Tail guild's Magic Development Bureau, those who need magic generators are no match for Erza and the others...

Those who can defeat Erza and the others don't need this magic power generator.

Of course, besides using the developer tools, Erza and the others would occasionally go out to do some missions to accumulate practical experience.

This also gave other mages the opportunity to use the developer tool during their spare time.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall.

"Gray, Natsu and I went on a mission together."

Erza always takes Natsu and Gray with her when she goes out on raiding missions.

They call it helping both of them grow quickly...

In reality, Erza did this to prevent her chosen missions from not providing enough training, which would render many of her techniques unusable in actual combat...

Therefore, if Erza finds that a target's strength is too weak, she will send Gray and Natsu to take care of the target!

Erza's gaze will gradually fall on Natsu and Gray, and she will find a lame excuse to beat them up, thus increasing her combat experience.

However, the advantage of this is that the bond and strength between Natsu and Gray are constantly growing...

At the same time, when Gray and Natsu see Erza, they enter a state of calm following psychological trauma.

Subconsciously, I quieted down...

However, these sights infuriated Mirajane.

"hateful……"

"I knew you were from Erza's faction."

"Since you have already chosen Erza..."

"Then you will be my rivals from now on."

Mirajah crossed his arms in front of him, his expression one of extreme anger.

Yes, at this moment, in Mirajane's eyes, Gray and Natsu were already enemies...

As for Mirajane, she has her own squad of mages.

Yes, those are her younger brothers and sisters~

Mirajane believed that Natsu and Gray were Erza's faction, her younger brother and sister were on Erza's side, and Lyon, who was not very bright, was on Ultear's side.

Mirajane is a person with strong boundaries, so much so that when she saw her younger sister Lisanna getting very close to Natsu, she angrily shouted, "Damn it! How dare you get so close to someone from Erza's faction? Lisanna, are you still my sister?"

"Hey! What the hell is Erza's faction?!"

"Miraja, although I really like it, you guys forming a mage team and competing with each other to improve your individual strength..."

"But I never said you were allowed to form cliques for personal gain!"

In response, Makarov, the guild leader, looked at Mirajane with a terrible headache and offered some words of advice.

"Elder Chairman..."

"Instead of educating me, why don't you go and see your good grandson Lacussas more often?"

"As far as I know, Laxus's die-hard fans compare him to Thor and have even formed a mage squad called the Thor's Legion!"

When Mirajane was still a rebellious young woman, she wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. With an attitude of arguing with everyone and everything, she looked at Makarov on the bar without any regard for his feelings and said coldly.

"Forehead……"

"I was actually lectured by a teenager."

"I'm speechless..."

Makarov was heartbroken.

"President, President, what's wrong?"

"President, be strong, don't cry..."

In an instant, the mages who were drinking near the bar gathered around Makarov, constantly comforting this old man who, despite being at the age where he should be retiring, was still constantly on the front lines, risking his life for the guild's troublesome children.

time flies.

Before we knew it, two months had passed in the blink of an eye...

The date is December 7th, X778.

This refers to the Fairy Tail guild's S-rank mage assessment start time.

In an instant, the Fairy Tail guild's main hall on the first floor was bustling with people and filled with noise!

All members of the Fairy Tail guild, regardless of how dangerous or difficult their missions, returned here on this day…

They will witness the birth of a new generation of S-class archmages here.

"Everyone, now that everyone has arrived!"

"Therefore, I hereby declare that the Fairy Tail Guild's S-Class Mage Examination for X778 has officially begun..."

Makarov stood on the guild's platform, wearing a golden coat symbolizing his status as one of the 'Ten Saints', his expression unusually tense...

Standing beside Makarov were four people: Ian and Gildarts, both current S-rank mages of the guild; Uru, the already designated new S-rank mage of Fairy Tail; and an old man with a head resembling cauliflower, skin as dry as tree bark, and a peaceful smile on his face.

It was precisely because of the old man's presence that Makarov was so nervous.

"First, let me introduce the rules for this year's S-rank Archmage Examination!"

"As in previous years, the examiners will be active S-rank archmages of the guild..."

Makarov paused slightly at this point.

"what?"

"Will the examiners be active S-rank archmages?"

"In other words, both Ian and Gildarts will become our enemies?"

Gray broke out in a cold sweat, unable to believe it.

"Hehehe..."

"Ian and Gildarts, those two monsters, are actually serving as examiners for the S-rank mage exam this year?!"

"I suddenly realized..."

"Perhaps those who weren't selected but went to Sirius Island to participate in the S-rank Archmage assessment are the lucky ones..."

Wakaba, with a cigar in his mouth, took a deep drag and remarked.

"Please give me your guidance."

After exchanging a glance, Ian and Gildarts slowly raised their heads and looked at the group of mages below the guild's stage, greeting them with smiles.

"Forehead……"

However, to these mages, Ian and Gildarts' good intentions were like the gaze of a demon king, like a hungry wolf choosing lambs to be slaughtered, and they were terrified.

"Of course, apart from Ian and Gildarts..."

"This year, we have two more specially appointed examiners! They are Uru, who was just selected as one of the 'Ten Saints' and ranks fourth among the Ten Saints of Archmage, and the last one..."

After Makarov introduced Ian, Gildarts, and Uru, who were this year's S-class mage examiners, his gaze finally fell on the old man beside him...

Facing the old man, Makarov couldn't help but feel a touch of respect in his eyes.

Yes, the person Makarov is about to introduce is of a higher generation than him, and can be considered a living encyclopedia of the magic world of Ishgar.

"Yes, he is one of the founders of our Fairy Tail guild, known as the 'King' by the Magic Council, currently the third seat of the Ten Wizard Saints, and a great senior to everyone in the magic world of the entire Ishgar continent, Senior Warold Sinken."

Makarov, holding the microphone, loudly proclaimed: "Worod Sink, the Fairy Tail senior who looks like a cauliflower, stands dozing off like a withered tree, and whose appearance is no longer human."

"What? The third seat of the 'Ten Saints'?"
