Fairy Tail: The Three Sacred Magic

The sunlight in the arena was particularly bright today. The golden light sprinkled on Jellal's blue hair. The breeze blew gently, bringing a few star-like halos, as if silently praising his endless efforts over the years.

"Winner! Jellal!! Jellal from the Empire team won the victory with a crushing attitude!" The commentator's voice echoed in the arena.

The cheers from the audience surged like a wave, but Jellal just stood there and raised his head slightly.

"His strength is simply a world-shaking change compared to seven years ago. He is worthy of being Zeke!" Mr. Yajima's eyes flickered and he praised generously.

He seemed to see the junior he was extremely optimistic about seven years ago, and a wave of relief surged in his heart.

At that time, Jellal was the hope of the magic world, and Yajima had placed the burden of the future on his shoulders.

However, Jellal's betrayal, the Tower of Paradise incident, and the successive mistakes of the Council all brought huge negative effects.

Yajima was so disheartened that he almost gave up everything in the Council.

But now, looking at Jellal standing in the center of the arena, bathed in cheers and sunshine, and thinking of his achievements in the past seven years, Yajima's heart was suddenly filled with complex emotions.

"Congratulations... Zeke.

If your mother saw you now, she would definitely be proud of you." Yajima whispered, with tears in his eyes.

In the stands of Fairy Tail.

"So strong!! He is more than a little stronger than seven years ago, it's simply... is..." Natsu's eyes widened with excitement, his fists clenched, as if he couldn't suppress his fighting spirit.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I can't describe it, Natsu!" Happy smiled helplessly.

"Anyway, it's ridiculously strong! I'm getting more and more excited! I hope my opponent in a while will be so strong!"

Natsu clenched his fists, and a blazing fire ignited in his eyes.

"Eh? Are you going to play?" Lucy asked in surprise.

At this time, Natsu put his arms on the stands, looking at the direction where Jellal left with a burning gaze, and the desire to fight was deeply engraved in his every move.

"Of course! I have a hunch that someone is looking forward to my appearance! I'm going to burn!"

But he didn't notice that in the audience far away, a black-robed figure was sitting quietly.

Her presence was extremely subtle, as if everyone in the arena had subconsciously ignored it.

The eyes under the black robe revealed despair and fear, mixed with a hint of expectation, staring at Natsu closely.

"Natsu..." She whispered in a low voice, her voice was almost inaudible.

In the waiting room of the empire.

Brother Cat pushed open the door panting and rushed into the waiting room.

He sat down and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Before he could recover, he saw Mavis and Hal looking at him with doubtful eyes.

"Huh... Fortunately, Jellal didn't use his full strength, otherwise the arena might really collapse..." Brother Cat looked up at the sky, his face full of fear.

Ultear handed him a glass of water, and said with a smile: "You ran here just to say this?"

Brother Cat took the glass of water, drank it all, and then quickly put it down, looking straight at Hal.

"Of course not!"

"Something went wrong, Hal!"

"Huh?" Hal turned his head and looked at Brother Cat, his eyes sharp.

"Someone is spying on me in the arena!" Brother Cat whispered, his expression solemn.

Hal frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember what I said before, that as Exeter, I am a very special cat?"

"For example: no cat can rival my ability to complain?"

"Yes, my ability to complain is... meow!! That's not what I'm talking about!" Cat's face darkened,

"I'm talking about my magic power! Since I came to Islam, I'm extremely sensitive to the magic of the Star Mage for some reason!"

"Yes, that's probably due to the star-shaped patterns on your fur, maybe you're also a star cat..."

"It doesn't matter!"

"Just now, Jellal's magic swept the entire arena, and at that moment, I sensed the existence of a strange Star Mage! But it only existed for a moment, and then it disappeared completely!"

After hearing this, Hal finally became serious, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He stood up with a bang, raised his hands lightly, and golden magic waves surged from his body, centered in the waiting room, and quickly spread to the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of kilometers, like a huge radar scanning every detail.

After a moment, Hal's eyes returned to normal, and the golden light gradually faded.

"I can't sense... there are no extra Star Spirit Mages." Hal said calmly,His eyes became even heavier.

"Impossible! With Hal's current magic power, it is impossible for him not to detect it. You know, it is a detection method based on the resonance of the earth, and no one can escape it," Ultiya said in disbelief.

"In that case, you also know what this means..." Cat's eyes gradually became weird, and then he almost growled: "It means that the person from the future that Hal planned before has returned to this era!"
