Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

Kana was deeply shaken by Leon's words...

She had seen perverts before, but never one this perverted.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not a pervert..."

Gray, who had already put his clothes back on, looked at Kana and emphasized.

“I can consider it.” At this moment, Makarov held a fan in his hand, gently fanning himself as he nodded slightly and said, “I’ve always felt that the cute little girls in the guild were all scared away by Gray and Leon.”

Yes, after Kana finished speaking, Makarov thought for a moment and suddenly realized that what Kana said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Perhaps it is because Gray and Lyon are always naked in the guild that their Fairy Tail guild has no cute girls joining.

In fact, Makarov believed that all those cute and delicate girls were scared away by the 'harmonious' and 'friendly' atmosphere of Fairy Tail guild.

"President, please don't make things worse..."

In response, Gray and Leon simultaneously turned to look at Makarov and said in a deep voice.

"..."

Meanwhile, Mirajane's team, Erza's team, and Ultear's team did not get involved in the conversation between Natsu, Gray, Lyon, Cana, and Laxus's team...

The women were either resting with their eyes closed or pondering what strategies to use when facing other teams after arriving on Sirius Island.

Also, it's really hot here. In short, a calm mind will naturally cool you down.

that's it……

Time passed minute by minute.

A few hours later.

The sailboat bearing the Fairy Tail guild logo suddenly stopped in the middle of the sea.

"Gentlemen, we've arrived."

It was also at the moment the ship stopped...

Makarov, who had been sitting at the bow of the ship conserving his energy, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. He looked at the huge, ethereal island shrouded in thick fog in front of him and addressed the group of S-class mage candidates present.

"boom!"

The instant Makarov finished speaking, all the S-rank mage candidates present rose to their feet, releasing a terrifying aura from their bodies…

One powerful surge of magic after another collided in the air, emitting a piercing 'sizzling' sound. Clearly, everyone present was ready to engage in battle at any moment.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again..."

"I haven't finished explaining the rules for this year's S-rank Archmage assessment."

"Now is not the time for you to fight."

In response, Makarov waved his hand, interrupting the group of S-class mage candidates who were preparing to fight before even setting foot on Sirius Island.

"Old man, that's what they say..."

"But if I eliminate all my competitors right now, then I won't need to know the rules of the S-rank Archmage assessment that you're about to explain!"

After the ship stopped, Laxus, who had resurrected on the spot, had eyes as sharp as an eagle in the sky, surrounded by golden lightning, and seemed ready to challenge everyone present alone.

"Ha ha……"

"If you think you're strong enough to wipe out everyone here in just one hour..."

"And if you successfully arrive at Sirius Island after that and pass all the tests conducted by the examiners, then you certainly don't need to listen to the rules I'm about to explain."

"But if you can't meet the requirements I've mentioned above, or if you're unsure whether you can meet them, then you'd better let me finish explaining the rules."

Makarov crossed his arms in front of him and spoke with a fierce tone.

"Tsk~"

Laxus, who was already prepared for the fight, frowned deeply after hearing what Makarov said, and clicked his tongue helplessly...

To eliminate everyone present within an hour and pass all the challenges prepared by the four examiners on the island seems like a pipe dream.

"Since it's impossible..."

"Then let me explain the assessment rules for this year's S-rank Archmage."

"You should be able to see the island behind me now..."

"There's a fire burning below the island. You need to go to the fire first. After extinguishing the flames, eight openings will appear..."

"The cave entrance is divided into two routes: fierce battle and intense fighting..."

"The fierce battle is against the guild's current S-rank mages!"

"As for the fierce battle, it will be a competition between your various S-rank mage candidate teams."

Only the victor can advance to the next level.

Makarov then recounted the upcoming battles that would take place during the S-rank mage assessment to the S-rank candidates present.

"that……"

However, just after Makarov finished speaking passionately about the rules for this year's S-class mage assessment, Ereshkigal, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her delicate white hand.

"Ellie, is there something you don't understand? Please feel free to ask..."

Makarov looked at Ereshkigal and asked with a kind smile.

At this point, Makarov did not understand the seriousness of the problem. He mistakenly believed that Ereshkigal, being a dragon, had a weaker comprehension ability than others.

"Grandpa Chairman, what do you mean?"

"If I can kill everyone on this ship within an hour and take my sister to Sirius Island to pass the examiners' test..."

"Will Erza be able to pass this year's S-class mage exam smoothly?!"

With a kind smile on her face, just like Makarov's, Ai Lei looked at Makarov earnestly and asked curiously.

"Eh……"

Upon hearing this, Makarov froze on the spot. He seemed to have forgotten that the conditions he had previously offered were based on Laxus's standards!

So although it does seem very demanding, it's not impossible to achieve...

At least someone present...

To be precise, one of the dragons present could indeed do it.

In an instant, an overwhelming sense of oppression enveloped the entire Fairy Tail guild's ship.

Even the clear sky had been covered with a layer of clouds, shrouding everyone on the deck in a hazy shadow that was invisible to the naked eye.

"Hey, don't be so arrogant!"

"I originally thought you were different from Erza, that you were a good kid!"

"I never expected that you would actually say something as absurd as 'wiping us all out in an hour'?"

"As expected, no matter how ladylike you pretend to be, you are no different from Erza in essence."

Mirajane seemed enraged by Ellie's words; her eyes blazed with fury as she shouted angrily at Ellie.

"Ha ha……"

"You actually dare to say something like 'wipe us all out in an hour'!"

"So, want to give it a try? I'm rather curious to see if you can really wipe us all out in an hour!"

"Or are you saying you can't even beat me alone?"

Laxus crossed his arms in front of him, and lightning roared around him. He raised his chin and looked down at Ereshkigal, who was much shorter than him, his words filled with arrogance and confidence.

"It's, it's..."

As for the others present, they all joined in the commotion.

"You seem to have misunderstood."

"It won't take an hour to deal with you all~"

"One strike is enough..."

As Ai Lei spoke, her golden, jewel-like eyes suddenly shifted, transforming into a gaze as cruel as a wild beast's.

"Forehead……"

In an instant, Laxus and Natsu, both Dragon Slayer Mages with superhuman senses, each took several steps back and unknowingly leaned against the railing at the edge of the deck! Their eyes no longer held any contempt for Ereshkigal; instead, they held a hint of disbelief.

This kind of powerful ability, capable of instilling a sense of crisis and fear in them with just a glance, is something no ordinary person could possess! The threat that Ai Lei poses to them at this moment is absolutely unprecedented.

"Laxus, what's wrong with you?"

Freed, who was not a Dragon Slayer Mage and had no idea what had happened, was still completely bewildered. He looked at Laxus, who was retreating and acting out of character, and asked in confusion.

"..."

Laxus did not immediately answer Fried's question; his heart was still pounding wildly and he could not calm down for a long time.

"There's something wrong with this woman."

"Her strength is by no means to be underestimated..."

"It's even possible that it surpasses Laxus and Erza."

At this moment, everyone present finally noticed Laxus and Natsu's unusual behavior. They gradually became alert and, like Laxus and Natsu, kept a close eye on Ereshkigal, waiting for her next move, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Eresh, this is my S-rank Archmage assessment..."

"Do not interfere if necessary."

Just as the atmosphere in the room began to freeze...

Erza suddenly spoke, breaking the tense atmosphere for everyone.

Yes, Erza stopped Ereshkigal from launching an attack...

After all, Erza is the one who will be competing for the S-Class Mage title in Fairy Tail this year. She can't just leave everything to her partner, Ereshkigal, can she?

Ereshkigal was just a last resort for her!

Besides, Erza herself was also very curious about how far she could go on her own!

"Okay, sister."
