Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

"The founder of the Fairy Tail guild?"

"The man hailed as the 'King of the Heavens' of Ishgar."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is no joke..."

When Makarov revealed Warold's identity, all the mages present were dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine that the legendary, elusive man, one of the top three of the "Ten Wizard Saints" and known as the Heavenly King, would actually appear in Fairy Tail. What's even more terrifying is that he was one of the founders of Fairy Tail.

"Oh hehehe..."

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm just an old man with mediocre abilities who has long since retired and no longer cares about worldly affairs."

"I didn't originally want to come..."

"But it's rare to find a junior as strong as Uru within the guild!"

“But Ul said that she wasn’t the most powerful mage in Fairy Tail guild; neither Ian nor Gildarts were stronger than her…”

"This made me really curious, so I came to see for myself."

"Having met you today, it is indeed as Uru said, your strength is extraordinary..."

Warrod, holding his cane, stood on the guild's platform and gave a few simple opening remarks.

Despite Warold's claims that Gildarts and Ian were exceptionally powerful...

But to be honest, he couldn't see what was so special about Gildarts and Ian!

This surprised Warrod; usually, there are only two scenarios when something like this happens.

The first possibility is that Ian and Gildarts are indeed of average strength.

The second possibility is that Ian and Gildarts are far stronger than him.

Frankly, Warold found both scenarios incredible.

"Then what happens next..."

"I will announce the official list of participants for this year's S-class mage assessment."

After introducing the examiners, Makarov's eyes narrowed; the main event was finally approaching.

"Oh!!"

Cheers erupted continuously within the guild.

"First and foremost, Laxus Doraeus!"

Makarov revealed the name of the first person selected to participate in the assessment.

"Isn't this how it should be?"

No one in the guild was surprised by this; they acknowledged Laxus's strength.

"Second place, Erza Belserion!"

"Father, I have not let you down."

Erza smiled slightly upon hearing her name called, filled with confidence.

"Third place, Mirajane Strauss!"

"That's great, sister! You've been chosen!"

When Elfman and Lisana heard that their older sister was among the candidates for this year's S-class mage assessment, they immediately shouted with excitement...

Honestly, this made them happier than if they had been selected.

"Is not this nonsensical?"

"Erza and Laxus were chosen, how could I not be chosen?"

Mirajah stood with his hands on his hips, speaking with a smug look on his face.

"Fourth place, Urutya Mirkovic!"

"as expected."

Although Urudia said it was true, she was actually on tenterhooks the whole time. She only breathed a sigh of relief after she confirmed with Makarov that she was also on the list of candidates for the S-class assessment.

"So it really is those four?"

"There's nothing we can do, their strength is just too great."

The top four are almost undisputed...

The mages of the Fairy Tail guild were also convinced.

"Fifth place, Kana Arupelona!"

"Ugh……"

Kana lay slumped over the table, feeling a terrible headache every year during the S-rank mage assessment.

"Sixth place, Natsu Dragneel!"

"Great, Happy! We've been chosen!"

Natsu cheered excitedly.

"Love~"

Happy flapped his little wings and floated around Natsu, echoing him.

"Seventh, Gray Fullpasta!"

"As expected..."

As Gray spoke, he took off his clothes.

"Eighth place, Leon Bastia!"

"Haha, I was chosen too."

Leon stood beside Gray and also took off his clothes as a sign of respect.

"Gentlemen, clothes."

In response, Kana, who was slumped over the table, offered a weak reminder.

"Eh? When?"

Upon hearing this, Leon and Gray panicked. They were shocked to find that their clothes had been taken off without their knowledge, and they quickly picked up their clothes from the ground and put them back on.

"And lastly, Uru Mirkovic!"

No one present had any doubts about the final candidate on the list...

Given Ul's strength, it would be quite strange if he couldn't participate in Fairy Tail's S-class mage exam or something!

Uru is definitely at the examiner level, right?

Ok……

Although Uru has now entered the competition as an examiner, that's all...

"The above nine people are the complete list of our Fairy Tail guild's candidates for this year's S-class mage assessment."

Before long, Makarov revealed the names of all the contestants who had participated in the assessment.

"Oh!"

In an instant, the entire guild was in an uproar...

The main reason these guild members were shouting was that they had all made the right bets.

"Then, everyone, I look forward to your guidance this year."

Inside the guild, amidst the excitement of the members chosen by Makarov to participate in this year's Fairy Tail S-Class Mage Exam, Ian, Gildarts, Ulr, and Warrod all stepped forward, unleashing boundless magical power.

"boom!!"

For a moment...

The atmosphere, the earth, and the space itself seemed to faintly groan under the four people's magic.

The 'Holy Ten' level 'inhuman' magic seemed to sweep over the entire town of Magnolia in a whooshing sound, making the mages in the guild hall gasp for breath.

"Is this the level of competence of this year's examiners?"

"They're a bunch of monsters..."

At this moment, everyone finally had a clear understanding of the difficulty of this year's S-class mage assessment.

Ok? !

I like their Fairy Tail guild this year...

Is the examiner lineup entirely composed of members at the level of the Ten Great Archmages?

This year's S-rank Archmage exam was terrifyingly difficult!

Sorry everyone, I originally wanted to post this chapter earlier, but I kept writing and ended up writing 7,000 words without realizing it. I will try my best to keep each chapter between 4,000 and 5,000 words from now on. This chapter has pictures, so it's hard to split it. I'm posting it all together now. I'll catch my breath and rest for a bit before continuing today's update. Thank you all for your support. I hope you like it. I will continue to work hard.

Chapter 64 Erza: What? I have a sister? What's it like to take the S-class exam with a dragon?

"Damn it, how are we supposed to fight this?"

"There's absolutely no hope of victory!"

"Even if we all attack at once, we won't be able to exhaust these monsters' magic power, will we?"

"Don't be shameless, do you think we've already used up all their magic power?"

"If we go up there, we'll probably be killed instantly. The damage we do to Ian and the others won't even be as fast as they recover!"

When the members of the guild sensed the indescribable, seemingly superhuman magical power emanating from Ian, Gildarts, Warrod, and Ul, the four examiners for this year's Fairy Tail S-class mage exam, they finally realized the enormous gap in strength between themselves and Ian and the others.

"The location of this year's S-level exam..."

"It is still set on Tenrou Island, the sacred ground of our Fairy Tail guild."

"I will give you a week to prepare."

"During this week..."
