A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

To fight or not to fight? This question was on the minds of both Abbagrien and Ridsoo.

'If I were to fight Ridas now, I definitely wouldn't lose, but it would cause a huge commotion. Wouldn't that alert Natsu and Gray? How would I then pick off their kills? ...Although those two are currently focused entirely on their fight, they probably won't notice this place.'

Abba Greene glanced at the sniper rifle in Dasu's hand, her heart tightening with vigilance: 'Dasu usually seems unassuming, but he's no pushover when it comes to fighting. Fighting him would drain a lot of my magic and stamina, but in this situation…'

"...Are you going that way?...I'm going that way!" ×2

After speaking in unison, the two stared at each other silently for three seconds, confirming that they were on the same path. They then decisively moved away and continued walking forward without saying a word more.

Sometimes, the members of 'Fairy Tail' just have this kind of perfect teamwork.

Just five steps after the two had each taken, Abba Green suddenly spoke up: "Ridasu, how about we consider joining forces?"

Upon hearing the invitation, Ridsoo's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing: 'Compared to Natsu and Gray, my strength and Abrams's are still a bit weaker. Joining forces is indeed a good idea!'

What do you want to do?

Ridsoo stopped and turned around to look at Abbagrien, and then... he saw a pair of eyes like black pearls.

Petrification magic?!

"Oh no! I was careless..."

"Phew... I've been using fairy magic so much lately that I'd almost forgotten I even had this trick..."

Looking at Ridasu, whom she had successfully petrified, Abbagrien put her glasses back on, a sly glint in her eyes. "I genuinely wanted to team up with you just now, but my body moved faster than my brain. Sorry, Ridasu!"

……

At this moment, Juvia and Levy, who had been offline for a long time, were walking side by side, passing through the lava volcano surrounded by high temperatures, heading in the direction where Natsu and Gray were.

After the two of them worked together to eliminate the sandfish in the desert, they turned around and entered the more treacherous lava volcano area.

Like Kira, Juvia's team started in the Great Desert, the Frozen Land, and the Ghost Tomb, so they naturally assumed the meeting point was at the lava volcano where the three meet. However, Cana was possessed by a ghost and got caught up in the battle between Laxus and Erza, Gray was busy fighting Natsu in an ice and fire battle, and Juvia encountered a swarm of sandfish, so none of them were able to meet up as planned.

After finally managing to escape, Kana was gone.

However, Juvia only cares about Gray and doesn't care about Cana. She even thinks Cana is a bit of a nuisance and is disturbing her and Gray's time together.

"Ah~ Lord Gray~ Please wait a little longer, Juvia will be here soon!"

Juvia's thoughts were simple; all she wanted to do was run to Gray, strip naked, and throw herself on him, telling him how hot she was.

"I wonder if there will be any dangers like what we just encountered here... Anyway, we should be careful from now on."

Levy weakly reminded them, knowing she had no teammates left, so she could only cling tightly to her temporary teammate in hopes of staying in the game a little longer.

"I wonder if I'll still have a spot in this year's S-rank assessment... Everyone's so strong... No, no, no, I can't think about that now! Go for it, Levy! You can do it!"

After silently encouraging herself, Levy regained her composure.

Although she knew she couldn't beat most of the remaining people, what if she managed to survive to the end? It's best not to give up until the very last moment.

"Oh my, isn't this Levy and Juvia?"

Levy looked up abruptly, staring in horror at the source of the sound—the top of her head. Sure enough, she saw that familiar figure with a sinister smile, and her heart tightened instantly.

Finished!

It's Kira!

This guy will definitely not let me off the hook! Is this all I can do in this competition? Am I even qualified for this year's S-class? I'm so unwilling... so unwilling...

As she thought about it, Levy felt a lump in her throat, her eyes welled up, and two tears involuntarily squeezed out.

Kira: "..."

Little girl, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying when you see me? Do I look that scary? Wait! Could it be that you fought Gildarts so fiercely that you ruined your appearance?!

This is terrible!!

No! I have to salvage this! As the face of Fairy Tail, my image is absolutely crucial! Regardless of whether Levy's reaction is because of my appearance, I must fix myself!

Kira knew nothing about this, but luckily there were two girls in front of him. Although Levy was the kind of well-behaved girl who loved to study, it didn't mean she couldn't dress up. Even if she was really bad at it, she could at least give some advice.

Besides, she was the first to notice her own problem!

Thinking of this, Kira turned his gaze to Juvia, who had a lovesick look on her face and didn't seem very bright. He thought to himself: Although Rebecca is younger, shorter, and has smaller breasts, she is very thoughtful and can easily outshine the other women in the guild in many ways!

Especially in terms of emotional development, it's much faster than Juvia's current situation!

In the original work, Levy and Gajeel had twins within a year, while Juvia and Gray? They hadn't even done any proper sports, which was utterly shameful.

"Levy! You..."

"Run!"

Kira wanted to have a friendly chat with Levy about his image, but before he could even finish his call, Levy turned and ran away, pulling Juvia with her without the slightest hesitation.

This unusual behavior left Kira completely bewildered, and he fell into a state of self-reflection, utterly confused: "Haven't I been playing any pranks lately, have I??"

He paused, then muttered to himself in an uncertain tone, barely audible, "Probably not..."

Whether they have or not, we can't let them get away.

"Let's catch up with them first!"

Kira flapped his magical wings and soared like a falcon, swooping down towards the panicked Levy and the oblivious Juvia.

"Why are you running?! Stop right now, I have something to say..."

"Keep going! We can't beat you anyway, if we stop we'll be eliminated!"

Good heavens, so that's why they were surprised and ran away!

"What are you talking about? Hitting two girls? Do you think I'm that mean? Stop it, or I'll show you something else!"

"No! Everyone in the guild knows your personality perfectly well. Saying that means you're going to attack!"

"What did you say?! Well! I shed blood and tears for the guild, and this is how the guild members see me?! It turns out my reputation has been ruined by you guys!! How utterly disappointing!"

Levy's eyes dimmed, and her heart sank.

She knew, of course, that Kira was acting, not genuinely disappointed or angry, but since he uttered those lines, it meant he was about to…

"Yosh! Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too! Take this!!"

I knew it would turn out like this!!!

Upon hearing the sound, Levy panicked and quickened her pace by three seconds, but she still couldn't shake off Kira, who was right behind her.

Kira chuckled softly. Two legs trying to outrun flight? What a joke!

"Energy Surge!!"

With a raised right hand, palm facing the two figures in front, an unstoppable shockwave erupted.

Bang! ! !

One minute later, the match announcement came again.

"Contestants Ridza, Levy, and Juvia are eliminated!"

Chapter 465 Mirajasella

On the large screen in the square, the remaining contestants for the match were clearly displayed in white text on a black background:

Team 1: Natsu, Happy

Team Two: Wendy, Charlotte

Team Three: Gray

Team Four: Mira

Team 5: None

Team Six: None

Team Seven: Kira, Abrams

Eighth team: Gildas

"Three more people have been eliminated..."

"Xia Lulu is one thing, but it's incredible that Habi has managed to hold on this long!"

"Haha... Don't say things like that in front of him!"

……

"Attention all participants! The safe zone has been updated. Please check the mini-map on your wristband. If you are in the danger zone for more than ten minutes, you will be automatically disqualified from the competition!"

Five minutes later, the notification sounded again, making the remaining nine people's hearts skip a beat.

"What's going on? Another update? So fast?"

Reopen the minimap and you'll find that the safe zone is now in the center of the entire arena, between the lava volcano and the icy terrain, excluding the desert above and the gravity field below.

"Well... looks like we don't need to switch places."

Gray's clothes were nowhere to be found. He was shirtless, the right half of his body had turned black from using the Demon Extermination Technique, his hair stood on end, and a faint, malevolent aura enveloped him.

In his demonized state, Gray's speed, strength, and magic were greatly amplified, but he still couldn't defeat his opponent.

Opposite him, Natsu was also drenched in sweat, panting heavily. His white dragon scale scarf, which he always wore, had fallen off his neck and was now lying quietly on the other side of the battlefield.

The once smooth stone platform was now cracked due to the traces of their battle, with scattered pebbles everywhere, still covered with light water droplets.

"Isn't this great? Whether it's you, Kira, or Gildarts, I'll defeat them all here!!"

Natsu's fists collided, a flash of intense flame appearing and disappearing in an instant. A confident smile spread across his face, radiating fighting spirit.

On the other side, at the border of the Frozen Lands, a bewitching and wicked demon confronted three trembling little ones.

"Isn't that Wendy? What a coincidence!"

Her sweet smile, as always, seemed like a death knell to Wendy.

"Mirasan..."

Wendy's pupils dilated slightly, and she unconsciously swallowed, trying her best to calm herself down.

She knew that Mira was not an opponent of the same caliber as Philid, whom she had encountered before. Mira was an S-rank mage of the guild, a true powerhouse! Even Erza was not confident of victory against her, let alone herself.
