Fairy Tail Space Mage

While Kana doesn't dislike promiscuous men, this level of promiscuity is unbearable! Even though he's undeniably handsome and has a perfect personality!

Chapter 066, Difficulty Level

"You guys, this isn't a couples' trip!"

Whether the president was trying to lighten the mood or was genuinely dissatisfied with the attitude of the four students who took the exam, he couldn't help but complain.

"Kong, Mira... how about we discuss this? Since you're strong enough, let us choose the Stone Gate first this time, okay?"

Ignoring the chairman's complaints, and despite knowing the chances were slim, Cana decided to ask anyway. After all, staying on the ship all the time was boring, and she didn't want to deal with Loki.

"Sure," Kong replied surprisingly readily.

"What!" Kana's eyes widened.

“Mira and I had already discussed it beforehand. The opponent we hoped to face was Gildarts… This should be considered our revenge battle. After all, we’ve both suffered at his hands before…” Kong replied.

“Yes. So, Kana, if you can use divination to find out the path where Gildarts is in advance, we'll actually feel like we've done you a huge favor,” Mira said, standing next to Sora.

"Really? You two, you're not kidding me, are you... You two... Oh right, Sora is the most cunning, this must be your scheme, I'm not going to participate..." Kana couldn't believe it at all.

"I don't think they're joking, Kana!"

Loki immediately believed Sora and Mira's words.

How to put it? Is it the accumulation of a long lifespan and experience, or the Protoss's unique intuition? Loki seems to possess a keen eye that can see through lies. Kong and Mira, and it seems they are lying.

"No doubt about it, Kana! In fact, if they hadn't chosen Gildarts as their opponent, I would have been in a difficult position. You should know the strength of those two, and then there's the terrifying chemistry between them when they're teamed up. How could I possibly let their exam be so easy!"

The president was straightforward, openly declaring that he would rig the exams to make them more difficult for Sora and Mira. This dispelled Kana's concerns.

Knowing that she and Loki had indeed chosen the less difficult path, Cana couldn't help but feel happy.

However, considering that even the president was struggling with the combination of Sora and Mira, she couldn't help but worry whether everything would go as smoothly as planned when they faced Mira and the others later.

Sirius Island appeared before everyone's eyes amidst Kana's complicated feelings.

……

Sirius Island remains a pale yellowish-green.

He only comes to Sirius Island at this time of year, and he wonders what it looks like in spring and summer. Will that enormous Sirius tree be dyed a deep green he's never seen before?

Because of the overcast weather, there was wind and waves crashing against the beach.

This is nothing like the sparkling beach we saw last time, which was practically perfect for sunbathing.

"In this kind of weather, the fairy ladies on the island probably don't really want to come out..." Sora looked at the beach carefully and muttered to himself.

"what?"

Mira, who was standing nearby, seemed to have heard the words "Miss Fairy" and stared at them with piercing eyes.

Although Mira didn't become the "naturally wicked" character she was originally supposed to be due to Sora's influence, her fiery and willful side was significantly enhanced.

This is probably the difference between enduring hardship until you can't bear it anymore and eventually become ruthless without realizing it, and venting without being blamed, ultimately becoming more willful. The former makes you naturally ruthless, the latter makes you a fiery woman!

"nothing."

"No! How could there be nothing! I clearly heard 'Miss Fairy' just now! Could it be that you know other women besides me and Ya'er? Hmm? 'Miss Fairy'? Hmm?" Mira was a little nervous because she was too nervous.

Sora looked at Kana and the others, wanting to ask them for help. But Kana was nervous; the guy who usually loved to interfere and stir things up at these times was now unusually absent-minded.

Loki shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help.

The president turned around immediately...

"No. I just think that since Tenrou Island is the sacred place of 'Fairy Tail,' there might really be invisible fairy ladies living there!" Sora could only rely on herself and explained it this way.

"Oh, is that so... Hmph! I thought that when you saw the beach, you suddenly remembered some 'fairy-like' girl you met on the beach!" Mira was still a little suspicious.

"You have such a vivid imagination!"... Although Kong wanted to say this, he certainly didn't dare to actually say it.

After the ship docked, Kana jumped off, found a place to sit down, threw out a few cards, and began to divine.

Kana's divination ended in about half a minute, much faster than before. Clearly, Kana is growing as well.

"Well then, we'll be going now, Mira!" After saying goodbye to Mira, Cana quickly pulled Loki through the stone door on the right.

"I'm going to the meeting point too... Sora, Mira, at least one of you has to be safe and sound! After all, the responsibility of preparing lunch falls on the two of you!"

Makarov seemed more worried about lunch than Kong and Mira.

Sora shook his head, pretending not to hear, and pulled Mira through another stone door. As soon as they entered, Sora hugged Mira tightly!

"Hmm~!" Mira was probably startled by Kong's sudden action and made a cute sound.

In addition, although it wasn't the first time, a "princess carry" is still a "princess carry." Feeling the warm touch on her back and the back of her legs, and seeing that Kong's face, which looked more masculine than usual because of the dim lighting in the passage, Mira's face turned bright red!

"This is terrible... As expected, when the two of us are alone, I can't help but feel so nervous that I can't breathe!... I'm so useless... Why is it that I always react so strongly, while he doesn't feel anything at all!"

Despite facing a situation fraught with danger and traps, Mira couldn't calm herself down. Instead, she couldn't help but think about things unrelated to the exam... Sure enough, girls in puberty, especially those in love, have their rationality severely diminished.

Sora had already heard about the traps and mechanisms within the difficult paths. And the method Sora chose to deal with them was very simple—using the absolute defense, "The Circle of the Sky"!

After holding Mira in his arms, Sora activated "Sora no Encircle". Then, while holding Mira, Sora used meditation to fully restore his depleted magic power (this is also why Mira couldn't help but have random thoughts; holding her for several minutes without moving, she couldn't let her mind remain blank).

Kong's opponent this time is Gildarts! He must ensure he starts the battle in perfect condition!

Whether that move can be made happen depends on whether Gildarts can be forced to use it in today's battle!

Sora was brimming with fighting spirit; in the dark cave, flames seemed to burn in her eyes! Sensing Sora's fighting spirit, Mira also became invigorated. However, what good was invigorating her? In this situation, Mira could only shift her body to make Sora's embrace a little more comfortable.

Holding Mira in his arms, Kong floated inside on the "Sphere of Emptiness." He simply withstood all the traps and mechanisms along the way!

When faced with an impenetrable stone gate, Sora simply uses "Singularity" to devour it! In short, Sora doesn't even want to waste his mental energy on these traps and mechanisms!

At this rate, overcoming the traps and encountering Gildarts is only a matter of time!

(Going to eat first, there will be another update after dinner.)

Chapter 067 Fairy Queen

While Sora meditates in the "Circle of Emptiness," and Mira drifts off into thought in Sora's arms, Cana and Loki are making rapid progress along another path.

Kana is in a great state today (because she's in a good mood), and luck (Kana has always been lucky) plus divination makes her very compatible when facing traps and mechanisms.

With Loki's knowledge and quick reflexes to complement them, the two of them broke through one trap after another with unstoppable momentum.

In just 10 minutes, Cana and Loki arrived at the large cave. There, waiting for them, was an S-class mage who was prepared to stop them.

"Lucky!"

Upon seeing the figure of the S-class mage, Cana couldn't help but shout out this from the bottom of her heart. Loki, standing beside her, looked much the same, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Kana, and Loki...the way you two look like you've drawn the 'best fortune' makes me very unhappy."

Although the light inside the large cave was dim, Cana and Loki recognized her at a glance. She was wearing her usual blue skirt-style armor. On the left breast of the armor was the bright red Fairy Tail guild emblem… it had practically become her trademark.

She was kneeling on the ground, her hands resting on her sword. Only when she sensed Cana and Loki's arrival did she raise her head… and then, as if a flame had been ignited in the darkness, her beautiful face burst forth! Even Cana, being a woman herself, couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. Loki was completely stunned!

The beautiful young woman before me is named Elsa. She is 16 years old, a budding flower in full bloom, breathtakingly beautiful, and at the most endearing age of her life. Her beauty is flawless! Her aura is otherworldly!

If Kong already had a little fame in the Kingdom of Fiore, then Elsa was someone that everyone in the Kingdom of Fiore knew!

She is the symbol of "Fairy Tail", and at certain times, she even symbolizes "Fairy Tail" itself!

People bestowed upon Elsa the title of "Fairy Queen"!

This may not be the most impressive title, but for the members of Fairy Tail, it is the highest honor!

……

Erza is the youngest S-Class mage in Fairy Tail history. Having only recently become an S-Class mage, she's been busy handling quests and hasn't spent much time at the guild. As a result, Cana and Loki felt a sense of unfamiliarity upon seeing her.

Seeing Elsa, whose demeanor was completely different from a year ago, Cana suddenly had a bad feeling. Then, she shook her head, thinking she was overthinking it. Loki, on the other hand, finally came to his senses.

Loki's expression turned serious as he watched the beautiful figure slowly rise to her feet.

"Kana, quick! Apply the buff to me!" Loki's tone seemed different from usual.

"I understand! Card Magic: Defense! Card Magic: Speed! Card Magic: Power!"

This is a triple attack of card magic, a support skill that only Kana can use. Even "Kaoru," the guild's undisputed top support, probably couldn't come up with a better support spell.

"Are you ready...? Well then, it's my turn... 'Heavenly Wheel Armor'!"

Elsa waited for Kana to finish casting her support magic before she began her attack. She donned the Heavenly Wheel Armor and charged forward as the "Steel Angel"!

"The Lion King's Radiance (An extremely powerful punch, imbued with the radiance of a lion's form when thrown)!"

"Heavenly Wheel Pentagram Sword (An enhanced version of the Heavenly Wheel Pentagram Sword. It attacks the opponent by instantly drawing a huge star-shaped orbit with both swords, and its power is immense)!"

In the battle, Loki used a move that might reveal his identity and that he would never normally use!

Elsa, on the other hand, used an upgraded version of her "Heavenly Wheel: Five-Star Sword" ultimate move. It seems this was the result of her diligent training over the past year.

The radiance of the lion form was unstoppable, roaring as it charged toward Elsa!

Erza, fearless, unleashed his ultimate attack and continued charging towards Loki as if he couldn't see it at all! His fearless demeanor even intimidated Loki (Leo), the leader of the Zodiac!

Of course, Loki wouldn't be deterred by his inner turmoil. He wasn't alone at this moment; as Cana's shield and her sword, he carried Cana's hopes and dreams!

"I never imagined I'd go to such lengths for human women! ... But, that usually incredibly carefree Kana, who's always drunk, is actually preparing so diligently for the exam. As a man, how could I let her down? ... Besides, thanks to Kana's magic boost, I'm in excellent condition right now, no worse than when I was in the Protoss Realm! So... I'm sorry, although 'hitting a woman' goes against my principles, today... let's consider it revenge for my past self when we first met. I'm going to take her down..."

Loki's inner monologue was abruptly cut short. A sharp, icy sword slid across Loki's chest, the powerful aura of the blade seemingly slicing through his flesh, draining all his strength... Loki lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground!

Meanwhile, Elsa appeared beside Loki. Holding two swords in her hands, she turned slightly and headed towards Cana, who had been desperately retreating since the start of the battle.

As she approached Kana, the golden lion behind her finally succumbed to the pentagram's cutting force, exploding in mid-air and transforming into a massive ball of flame! Under the beautiful, blinding light of the flames, Elsa's face, though still beautiful, was somewhat terrifying... at least, Kana felt her legs go weak!

Close combat wasn't Kana's forte; in fact, it should be said she was completely inept at it. Because all she'd seen so far were the martial arts techniques they used: one unleashing a fist like a lion, the other a five-pointed star slash… Up to this point, Kana understood everything, but after unleashing their techniques, they completely disregarded them. Then, when the distance between them closed to six meters, both figures vanished simultaneously… Yes, vanished!

Kana knew it was because the speed was so fast that it seemed to disappear suddenly. But how could she possibly know what happened during that time?

Kana resented always having to face melee-type mages. How could she fight if she couldn't even see their movements clearly?! Even though the person she respected most was the representative of melee-type mages in the guild!

Cana didn't know what the battle entailed, but she knew the outcome perfectly well.

Loki fell to the ground, his "Lion King's Glory" defeated by the "Heavenly Wheel Pentagram Sword"!

This was unbelievable to Kana!

She clearly used triple enhancement magic! I dare not say anything else, but at least "Card Magic - Defense" should have been able to nullify the blade's slash! Kana used this magic on herself before, and her back, which had no defense at all, broke the long sword that the bandits were desperately slashing at her!

"Elsa, is he really that strong?" Kana was horrified as she watched Elsa slowly approach her, sword in hand, her body almost giving way. The deafening explosion of the fireball nearly made her collapse to the ground! But…

Having already witnessed the power of the "Demon Star" last year, what she saw before her was not enough to frighten Kana.
