Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

"Hey Gray, what's that on your back?" Loki pushed up his glasses, noticing something on his partner's back.

Upon hearing this, Gray sat up. Without the back of the chair to obscure it, Loki immediately saw that it was a blue rose pattern the size of a fist.

Juvia, who had been watching closely, rushed to Gray's side. Looking at the blue rose tattoo, a wronged expression immediately appeared on her face.

Instantly, an overwhelming sense of jealousy filled the entire deck.

Lucy, Cana, and the others, drawn by the smell, immediately gathered around. Despite the heat, they couldn't miss out on watching the drama unfold.

"Oh my, a tattoo?"

"It's blue, and it's an ice rose!"

"It's not some kind of matching couple tattoo, is it?"

"So, Gray really has gone down the path of a scumbag after all..."

Hearing his companions' gloating and frantic encouragement, and seeing Juvia's increasingly aggrieved expression, Gray couldn't sit still any longer. "That's enough! I'm not the kind of person who would fall for someone else!"

"How do you explain the rose tattoo?"

"It's all because of that bastard Hope!"

It turned out that just three nights ago, when Gray finished exercising and was about to rest, Hope suddenly came to the door, pinned him against the wall without saying a word, and forcibly put an ice rose pattern on his back.

hiss--!

Everyone gasped.

Breaking into the handsome young man's room late at night, pinning him against the wall, and then...

Is Hope bisexual...?

Everyone instinctively looked at Kana, their eyes filled with pity.

Although Kana couldn't read minds, these guys' thoughts were written all over their faces, so how could she pretend not to see it? "Hey! What's going on in your heads?!"

"Hope isn't that kind of person!"

Everyone laughed it off, knowing that although Hope liked to prank people, he would never go to prank his classmates who were about to take the exam for no reason, so the teasing ended there.

"Grey, what is the purpose of the rose pattern?"

"do not know."

Gray shook his head, equally confused. "Hope only told me that when this pattern takes effect, it will bring me a big surprise, and that I shouldn't cry too much then."

"Are you kidding? Do you think I'm the kind of person who cries?"

Hearing this, everyone became even more curious about the purpose of the ice rose pattern. Unfortunately, because Hope deliberately kept it a secret, even Gray didn't know how to use it.

"Look! That's..."

Gajeel, who was lying on the edge of the boat, made a weak sound.

Following that direction, everyone looked and saw an island appearing in the distance on the horizon.

The island has a unique shape, with towering trees of unknown age standing on it. Their lush canopies make it look like a small island being lifted up from a distance.

"That's Sirius Island."

"It is said that fairies lived there long ago."

Makarov emerged from his secretly prepared air-conditioned room, gazing at the approaching Sirius Island. "And that's also where the grave of our guild's first guild master, Mavis, is located."

Makarov pressed the ship's control crystal, and when the ship came to a stop on the sea, he said, "Now, let's announce the first stage of the test."

Chapter 210 Strength and Luck

A clear and easy-to-understand map was unfolded in front of everyone.

The terrain of Sirius Island is depicted in detail on the map, with eight different roads extending from the marked starting point.

"As you can see, there are eight paths at the starting point, and each path can only be used by one group."

Makarov pointed to the map and explained, "Each road is marked with three categories: 'fierce battle,' 'fight,' and 'quiet.'"

There are five routes for intense combat.

"The groups that choose these routes will face the S-rank mages guarding the gates, who may be Gildarts, Laxus, Mystogan, Erza, or Mirajane. Only by gaining their approval in battle can they proceed."

"Of course, if you have the strength, you can defeat them, but you still need to pass the subsequent assessments to be promoted to S-class mage."

When Makarov mentioned these names, many people present turned serious.

Fighting any S-class mage from Fairy Tail is no easy task, and defeating them is even more difficult. Even Mystogan, who has no magic power within him, has the ability to instantly eliminate most of the test participants.

There are two routes for "fighting".

"These two paths will converge midway. The two groups that choose these two paths will have to fight to determine which side can continue. The loser will be eliminated directly."

Finally, Makarov pointed to the only route marked with the word "Quiet," saying, "There will be no battles on this route, so you can conserve your strength and pass through the first stage unharmed."

Everyone was stunned after hearing the rules.

The probability of "quiet" is only one in eight, while the other seven routes require combat to continue.

Aside from the "battle" route where one group is guaranteed to be eliminated, theoretically, a maximum of seven groups could pass the first level, but in reality, this is impossible.

Laxus and Erza will definitely not hold back.

Gildarts is too strong, so even if you hold back, it won't help. Facing him is basically a guaranteed elimination.

Mirajane and Mistgan won't go too far, but gaining their approval won't be easy either.

It's possible that only two groups will be able to pass the first stage.

This is a test of both "strength" and "luck".

Just as everyone was discussing, Makarov suddenly waved his hand and announced, "Alright, everyone take your positions! The first test begins! The eight routes are first-come, first-served!"

"Eh?"

"We're still at sea, Chairman!"

Maklov just grinned, offering no reply.

The first to figure it out was Natsu. He realized that the ship they were on was the real starting point, and he immediately called on Happy to take him off.

"Haha! Let's go choose a road first!"

However, before they could even fly out of the ship's range, Natsu and Happy crashed headfirst into a magical wall covered with magical runes.

"Oh no! It's a spell!"

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Fried had already taken Biguslo and flown towards Sirius Island.

"Don't worry, everyone. The incantation will automatically dissipate in five minutes. We'll be going now!"

Watching the two figures fly away, Gray immediately protested to Makarov, "Old man! Wasn't that a foul?!"

"It's not a race, it's fine."

Makarov leisurely fanned himself with a small fan, "If you don't find a way to catch up soon, the entire Sirius Island will be covered in Fried's 'spells'~"

"Wow! How could this be...?"

"How awful!"

"......"

Just as everyone was complaining, Levy had already rewritten the spell that was blocking them. Gajeel, who was standing next to her, was overjoyed. "As expected of Levy, let's go!"

However, Gajeel bumped into the spell with Natsu, and when he looked up, Levy and her partner Dhorel had already jumped off the ship.

"Only we can get out."

"Sorry, Gajeel!"

Levy smiled slyly, stepping on the magical lotus leaves that Dorell had created with 'plant' magic, and sped towards Sirius Island.

At the same time, Abba Grin also broke through the spell and jumped down with Elfman. Having known Fried for so many years, she could rewrite this simple spell.

Three groups of people left at once, and the remaining people could only wait helplessly for the spell to automatically dissipate.

Five minutes later.

As Natsu took off again, ice and water suddenly erupted, allowing Gray and Loki to skate along, while Juvia used the water flow to carry her and Lisanna forward.

But the fastest was another combination. Sarusuk's "Divine Foot" had now been trained to the point where he could walk on water. Carrying Gajeel on his back, he rode off in a flash and plunged into Tenrou Island.

Soon only Kana and Lucy, who were still swimming, remained on the sea.

Fairy Tail, Backyard.

The constant clanging of metal dazzled the onlookers.

"Let's end this sparring session here."

Hope stopped wielding her sword.

As his voice fell, the burly black cat opposite him instantly transformed into an adorable little black cat.

Lili shrunk his magic greatsword to a size that matched his current physique and couldn't help but say, "The time I can maintain my original body is still too short."

"It's more accurate to say that you're too strong as a transcendent being, which makes it impossible for you to adapt to this environment, and you can only turn into the size of a kitten."

Hope put the sword back into his changing space. "Speaking of which, Rili, Gajeel didn't choose you as his partner."

Lili didn't care. "After all, I just became his partner. Such a serious trial as the S-rank assessment naturally requires a tacit partner."

It seems the black cat is unaware that Gajeel and Salusuk are hardly in sync.

Hope thought that guy just wanted to get close to Levy, which is why she suggested that the two simps team up.

"Something's wrong! Hope!"

"A big owl has come in! And it's carrying two people!"

The shouts had barely reached him when Hope arrived in the guild hall, where he saw the so-called giant owl and the man and woman it was holding.

They were the "Three Ravens" who had been hired by Gerald to guard the Tower of Paradise.
