The water race wasn't as easy to perform with magic as other amusement park rides, and the participants weren't the kind of people like Erza or Natsu who would cause chaos during the race, so it went very smoothly and ended quickly.
Clang clang clang!!
"The match is over!"
"The champion of this Christmas Carnival winter swimming competition: Laxus Dorreah!"
"runner up:……"
Despite winning the championship, Laxus showed no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned, touched the center of his chest, and a faint worry seemed to flash in his eyes, lost in thought...
Kira took in everything, and his intuition told him that Laxus was about to get a power-up again!
Chapter 635 Kira: Tell me, who is the future chairman in your hearts?
The Christmas carnival culminated in a lavish raffle.
The first prize was a yacht, and the winner was a beautiful young woman whom Kira recognized as the mistress that Mayor Magnolia was secretly keeping.
The second prize was a magic-powered car, and the winner was an ordinary-looking young man who looked about five or six parts similar to the mayor. It was unclear whether he was the mayor's underling or his illegitimate son.
The third prize is a set of the latest fashion from the clothing store HK, something that wealthy people have no shortage of.
Kira felt that the lottery was all rigged, just like when the boss wins the grand prize at the company's year-end party. Everyone could see what was going on, but they chose not to expose it, just so that they could have a piece of soup while others were eating meat.
However, there is a difference between a carnival and a company raffle. Company employees don't expose the behind-the-scenes manipulation in order to continue working, but no one at a carnival needs to consider such things. Therefore, the organizers knew they couldn't be too greedy and gave up the third-place prize.
The third person drawn was the director of the orphanage, but she sold the ownership of that outfit and used the proceeds to pay for the children's living expenses.
A simple lottery draw taught Kira what it means to be worldly-wise and what it means to be unpredictable and have a destiny that cannot be changed.
In fact, in recent years, under Kira's management, the treatment of orphans in Magnolia has become much better. Although it is not as good as most families, at least they will not go hungry or cold, and some children even have access to education. Some children have even started to become mages.
In short, Kira would not let go of a place that could potentially produce a large number of powerful magicians. He would not bury a large number of talents with a statement like "there can be no orphans under my rule," as he did in the Western Continent.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
March, X786.
"Have you heard? The Kingdom of Fiore is going to hold the 'Grand Magic Games'!!"
"The Grand Magic Games? What's that?"
"It seems to be a competition that gathers all the magic guilds in the kingdom to compete for the title of 'Number One Magic Guild in the Kingdom,' and the time is set for July. Other guilds, such as Adventurers' Guild and Treasure Hunter Guild, also have corresponding 'Grand Adventure Tournament' and 'Grand Treasure Tournament' events."
"Isn't that just like the 'Demonic Cult Tournament' from 'Fairy Tail'? It's just a different name, and it has a wider reach and a bigger scale."
"Plagiarism! This is blatant plagiarism!"
"Hey, hey, hey... You can't say things like that! That's an event officially organized by the kingdom!"
When news of the Fiore royal family reached Magnolia, it quickly sparked discussion throughout the town, with members of Fairy Tail also engaging in heated debates about the event.
"The Grand Magic Games?? That sounds interesting!!"
"Funny? Are you kidding me? In the entire Kingdom of Fiore, besides Fairy Tail, who else can fight?"
"Exactly... We're already the number one magic guild in Ishgar! 'Snake Princess Scale' and 'Azure Pegasus' are nothing compared to us!"
Inside the guild tavern, a group of mages looked at the news in the newspaper, their hands in their pockets, wondering who their opponent was.
Just then, someone said, "That's not necessarily true. Doesn't Boa Hancock still have Jurasang? I heard there's also a Leon, a mage with an ice form like Gray. That guy's fame has skyrocketed lately..."
Upon hearing this, several people fell silent, because they knew that Leon was Gray's senior brother, and the two were evenly matched in strength, while Gray was already considered a very strong main force member in the guild.
"Come on, Jura can at least put up a fight with us, but Leon... that guy isn't even as good as Gray!"
Kira's words mocked both of them, and Gray immediately couldn't sit still: "Hey! What do you mean 'not even as good as Gray'? I'm very strong, okay?!"
"Very strong?"
"Uh-huh……"
"I couldn't tell."
Gray flew into a rage, took off his clothes, and charged forward, yelling, "You bastard... don't underestimate me!!"
Seeing this, the people around immediately started fanning the flames: "Grey, don't back down! If you're not happy, then fight! There's nothing a fight can't solve!"
"Count me in! Count me in!"
"A real man fights to the death!!"
"Kihi... How could we possibly be without my Iron Dragon Grandpa at a time like this?!"
"Go, Lord Gray!!"
Natsu and his fellow warmongers instantly became excited and eagerly signed up for the upcoming free-for-all. Within half a minute, several people were itching to join in, and a chaotic flow of magic began to surge through the guild.
Kira jumped onto the table, giving everyone a cold look: "Oh? It seems you haven't received my training in too long and have forgotten how terrifying my fists are... No problem! I'll make your bodies remember that long-lost feeling right now!"
Thump thump thump...slap slap slap...plop plop plop...
In less than half a minute, the entire guild erupted into chaos:
Tables and chairs were haphazardly grabbed, tracing ugly parabolas in the air before slamming into the wall with painful groans; drinks and food flew through the air, landing with a thud on the ground, on someone's clothes, or on someone's hair; all sorts of magic weaved through the crowd, knocking over the drunkard's manhood, blowing up a young girl's skirt, and smashing into the head of a lecherous old man...
In short, the entire guild was in complete chaos.
"Shut up! Be quiet when the president isn't here! If you keep this up, I'm not going to be polite!"
Erza finally lost her temper, drew a longsword from thin air, and roared for everyone to stop.
As the self-appointed guild discipline committee member, she felt it was necessary to manage this group of lawless individuals.
"A... Erza..."
"Quick, quick... put the chair down now, or you'll be dead!"
"Stop drinking! How can you drink in this atmosphere?! Come help move the table!"
The group of mages were trembling with fear, their hands and feet moving swiftly and skillfully to restore the guild to its original state. They dared not slack off in the slightest, because if they paused even slightly, that murderous gaze would fall on them, making their hair stand on end and goosebumps rise incessantly.
However, while the others were afraid of Erza, Kira was not. He hadn't had enough fun yet, so how could he let Erza stop these guys so easily?
"What guild leader? The old man said he's stepping down this year, so I'll be the guild leader from now on! Everyone, get hyped!!"
The shout had a great effect; everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they stopped what they were doing.
"No way?! The chairman is stepping down? Kira is the next chairman?!"
"You'd be a fool to believe that!! In terms of seniority, the most suitable candidate to succeed as chairman should be Gildarts, right?!"
Hearing everyone talking about their fathers, Kana was the first to stand up and object: "That guy is no good! He's always traveling, drinking, and chasing girls. He's not cut out to manage a guild!"
"What about the others..."
The group stopped talking halfway through.
Everyone else? In the entire Fairy Tail, who else can compare to Kira? Laxus and Erza are no match, are they? Whether it's combat strength, management skills, or personal prestige, they're far inferior!
only……
"Is Kira going to become the guild leader? I feel like the guild's future is going to be bleak..."
"Who can tolerate that kind of prankster personality?"
"What will become of this guild?! There's no future in sight!"
"I still think Laxus or Erza would be better..."
"..."
Kira took all these words to heart, but he was not discouraged at all. Instead, he stood up and said loudly, "What the chairman can do, I can do; what the chairman can't do, I can do too. The chairmanship will definitely be mine in the future! Why should anyone else be chairman?!"
"This one……"
The archmages looked at each other, speechless.
Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Kira had no choice but to reveal his trump card: "Once I become the guild master, I will immediately recruit a group of young and beautiful female mages!"
In an instant, the guild's discussions ceased, and everyone stared wide-eyed at Kira, their faces filled with unbelievable surprise.
"Now tell me, who do you think will be the future president?"
The air was silent for two seconds, then the sound erupted again, but this time the wind direction was different.
"It's you! Only you!! There won't be anyone else!!!"
"Kira's strength is undeniable; he will definitely become the best guild leader in our guild's history!!"
"If there's a vote to elect a successor to the chairman later, we'll definitely choose you!"
"That's right, that's right... Kira becoming the guild leader has always been what everyone has been hoping for!"
"This kid is handsome and strong, his abilities far surpass those of the rest of the guild. He's a role model for us all! He truly deserves to be the guild leader!"
"Anyone who dares to object, I'll be the first to disagree!"
"..."
With just a few words, all the previous dissatisfaction vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.
Hearing the support from a group of old perverts, Kira couldn't help but reveal a Homelander smile, the kind of smug, confident, and feignedly humble smile.
"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"
Everyone was so enthusiastic!
"Since everyone is so sincere in wanting me to be the president, then I'll accept it! From this day forward, I am the president! Everyone, get hyped and have a good fight!!"
"Oh oh oh!!!" ×N
"Wait, what about the old man?"
"That old man should have retired long ago! I saw him drinking goji berry water just yesterday..."
At the guild entrance, Makarov listened to the shouts from the crowd inside and was so angry that his beard almost fell off.
"A bunch of brats!!"
"Who am I drinking goji berry water for? Isn't it to hold on for a couple more days and protect you lot from the wind and rain?"
"To think that you would try to overthrow me for the sake of a beautiful female mage, you are utterly rebellious!"
