A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"Charlu and Happy are with you too... Not bad!"

He ran into the three smallest ones. If he can eliminate them, along with Gajeel from before... with this record, he should be able to secure an S-class candidate spot for Elfman this year, right?

Thinking of this, Mira's smile grew even brighter: "The competition has been going on for so long, I think you guys must have had enough fun by now, right?"

This means declaring war.

"Eh... well... heh... heh haha..."

Wendy's eyes darted around, avoiding Mila's gaze. She was a kind-hearted and grateful girl who had always received so much kindness from Mila. How could she possibly bring herself to harm her older sister Mila?

"Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Happy: Mira looks so scary...

Xia Lulu: She's smiling, but it sends chills down your spine...

Wendy: What to do... what to do... should I fight Mirasan...? Can I beat him...?

"Come on, Wendy!"

Mira slowly walked towards the three of them, her magic power surging outwards. Demonic energy appeared out of thin air, covering her graceful and slender body, and her appearance changed drastically in the blink of an eye.

That head of white hair, so beloved by everyone, gradually turned black. Two thick, devilish horns grew on her head, their slightly curved shape sparking the imagination. Unique demonic patterns appeared on her forehead, and a white cloth strip was wrapped around her swan-like, soft neck, further highlighting her firm collarbone.

The black long dress she was wearing was replaced with a loose kimono with a dark blue base and strange magical patterns embroidered on it. The kimono had low shoulders and a low neckline, and the hem only covered her hips. The key point was that it was open on the side. A black waistband was tied around her slender waist to ensure that it would not fall off easily.

The clothes on her arms only reached the middle of her upper arms, and the wide, thin sleeves hung naturally down her hands, swaying back and forth as she walked, captivating the audience's attention; on her legs she wore a pair of black stockings that went past her knees, and her feet were bare, like a beautiful fairy dancing gracefully... no, a beautiful demon!

"Full body reception... Mirajasella!!"

Her unparalleled beauty, fair and smooth skin, and gentle and elegant demeanor made her resemble a succubus from legends, captivating viewers and causing them to drool.

"Wow!!! Mira-chan is so pretty!!!"

"I've never seen Mira use this form before..."

"This is... Sera from the Nine Ghosts Gate?!"

"Aren't her feet cold?"

Seeing the drastically changed Mira before her, Wendy knew that this gentle older sister was ready to fight, and she couldn't hesitate any longer! In order to become an S-class candidate and participate in the assessment this year, she had to fight!

"All-out power rise - God Knight!!!"

With her right hand raised high and fingers spread, Wendy's magic transformed, and as a profound additional spell descended upon her, all of her attributes increased significantly, and her aura gradually rose.

However, Mira showed no panic at this scene. She simply spoke softly and used a spell unique to this form—a command spell!

"I command you... to sleep!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an irresistible force emanated from Mira and landed on the three of them. Harpy and Sharulu, being weak, had little resistance and closed their eyes, falling into a deep sleep. Their wing magic also stopped, and they fell from the sky.

After two sharp cracks, a flash of light appeared, and the number of participants decreased by two.

An overwhelming drowsiness surged through her body, disrupting Wendy's thoughts. She felt her mind was in complete chaos, making it difficult to even stand, let alone fight.

Command spells are similar to incantations in that their commands are absolute.

Generally speaking, people controlled by command spells will strictly follow the instructions of the manipulator. However, in reality, if the person being controlled has great strength and willpower, they can also ignore the manipulator's orders.

Mira is very powerful, that's common knowledge. Very few people can resist her orders. It's already quite remarkable that Wendy wasn't subdued immediately.

"She didn't fall asleep?!"

Mira was clearly surprised by Wendy's performance, a hint of astonishment flashing in her bright eyes.

"All attribute resistances increased... Crown of the Gods!!"

Another profound additional spell!

A faint magical aura enveloped Wendy, forming an invisible protective barrier that minimized the damage she received. This included not only ordinary magical and physical harm, but also mental damage, such as command spells.

Wendy suddenly looked up, her expression clearing, indicating that she had lifted Mira's command spell.

She slowly stood up, looked at Mira, who was much taller than her, and said with lingering fear, "That was close! I almost fell asleep..."

"That's really surprising! You're quite something, Wendy, to be able to break free from my commands!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mirasan!"

Hearing Mira's praise, Wendy smiled sweetly. Although she felt a little shy, she was mostly happy and excited, and her face flushed slightly.

For her, receiving affirmation from her comrades was undoubtedly a great encouragement. This encouragement did not deter her; on the contrary, it strengthened her resolve to fight to the end.

"Aren't you going to admit defeat?" Mira asked.

Wendy shook her head vigorously, her two ponytails swaying, her eyes resolute: "No! I will fight to the end!"

"I want to become a powerful female mage like Mirasan and Erzasan!"

Chapter 466 This is more than just a battle

On the field, Wendy and Mila were locked in a tense standoff; in the stands, two major factions were also arguing.

These two powerful forces are called the Lolita faction and the Mature Woman faction.

Lolis are innocent and kind, light and delicate, easily pushed over; mature women have amazing figures, fair skin, beautiful faces, and excellent temperament. Both types have their own merits and often occupy the first or second place on men's favorite viewing lists. Compared to them, magic, treasure, weapons, and the like all take a backseat.

Wendy is a loli, while Mira is an older sister type. In terms of popularity, they are the strongest in their respective fields in 'Fairy Tail'. However, they are now facing off against each other on the field, making a group of old perverts anxious but helpless.

What to do? Which one should I support? The cute Wendy or the sexy Mila? Similar dilemmas lingered in the minds of viewers, making it difficult to choose.

It's true that they enjoy watching girls fight, but what they like is the clash between strong individuals, like Mira and Erza. Wendy... it's not that she's not strong, it's just that she lacks that atmosphere of girls fighting.

The audience was even more excited than the participants themselves as Wendy and Mila battled.

In their view, this was no longer a simple duel between mages, but a more sacred duel. The two people on the field were merely a microcosm of these two forces.

"Wendy is unmatched!!"

"Mirasan is the best in the world!!"

"Ah~ pure and kind... I feel like I've been baptized..."

"My older sister is the best; she knows how to care for people..."

"Are you guys perverts?! That's a child!"

"No! That was my childhood, which I didn't have time to enjoy before it was over..."

More and more people started hurling insults at each other, and the arguments grew louder and louder. Before long, the entire audience area became the stage for this debate, with both sides arguing heatedly until their faces were red and their necks were bulging.

Fortunately, even under these circumstances, no one made a move.

From this perspective, the residents and tourists of Magnolia are a group of highly educated and peace-loving people, all of which is naturally thanks to the wise leadership of the mayor and Kira's subtle influence.

However, things are relative. Some people like a topic while others hate it. This debate quickly attracted the dissatisfaction of many women, who frowned and made no attempt to hide their disgust.

"What's going on with that group of people?"

"So disgusting!"

"I actually find their conversation quite interesting..."

Makarov stared blankly at the noisy audience, frowning as he sighed inwardly: "Sigh... these young people these days are really decadent! They don't study magic properly, they don't make money properly, their minds are filled with these things? Humph!"

"Your Excellency Makarov..."

"I choose Yu... Ah! No... Is there something wrong?"

I almost let it slip!

Makarov felt a slight panic, but his expression remained calm, perfectly portraying the image of an honest and simple man.

"It seems Mira and Wendy are quite popular! As the president, who do you think will win?"

Mayor, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see the audience almost coming to blows over their fight? And you expect me, an old man, to answer this question at a time like this?! Are you taking advantage of my age?

No! I can't do this question! It'll offend people!

Thinking of this, Makarov's lips moved slightly, then he clutched his back and said, "Ouch~ my back is hurt, I can't reach the microphone, I don't think I can answer this question."

The mayor blinked and respectfully handed the microphone to him.

Makarov: "..."

"Ahem... well... Mira and Wendy are both outstanding mages in 'Fairy Tail,' and they are also very good friends, like sisters. It doesn't matter who wins!"

"Hmm... I understand! We're all family in Fairy Tail! So who do you think has the best chance?"

"It doesn't matter who I favor; it has no impact on the battle! We are ultimately just spectators, judges, not contestants! Only the people on the field can influence the course of the battle!"

"Uh... I know that, but could you answer my question first?"

"Compared to the result, I think the process is more important! Mira and Wendy are both very good kids. They have always worked very hard. In order to have the power to protect their families and companions, they sometimes even practice magic to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. This kind of attitude is the spirit that the new generation of mages should have!"

"No... you don't need to say all that, I just want to know your opinion!"

"The competition is fair. They are competing under a fair and just system, so no matter the final outcome, we should see how far they can go!"

"Who do you think will win? Give me a definite answer!!"

“Mira is an S-rank mage of Fairy Tail, which speaks volumes about her strength; Wendy, though young, has exceptionally high talent, and with her Dragon Slayer Magic's ability to draw power from the air, her combat talent far surpasses that of mages her age! To be honest, Mira wasn't this strong when Wendy was her age…”

"..."

"As a senior figure in the magical world, I'd like to offer a few words of advice. I believe young people shouldn't promote the unhealthy trend of 'one battle deciding everything'! Regardless of who wins or loses this match, it won't affect their future paths, because they are still young, they are all improving, and there's always the possibility of a second chance. Current success or failure doesn't define future achievements..."

After Makarov's words, the mayor seemed convinced and put away the microphone, giving up on asking further questions.

Makarov closed his eyes, smiled, nodded, and struck a pose of superiority.

Trying to outsmart me?

Fairy Tail has been lawless for so many years, but it has never been judged as a dark guild by those old guys in the council. What do you think it is because of that?

Is it only me who has someone inside?

joke!

I am one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'! My silver tongue is highly skilled; you won't get any information out of me!

"Mr. Warlord, who do you think will win, Mira or Wendy?"
