Fairy Tail: You call this celestial magic?

"Ahem, I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion."

Moon began to explain awkwardly. It was conceivable that the strange phenomenon he had created today would definitely become a hot topic and would probably be seen in various newspapers soon.

After all, the scene of the shining stars is not an illusion. The starry sky is shining brightly, illuminating the sky and the earth as if it were daytime. Unless you are blind, there is no reason not to see it. Even if it is daytime, you will notice the shining stars in the sky.

After confirming that it was Moon who made the noise, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief. The scene was indeed a bit too big, which made him nervous, fearing that something big had happened. It would be very bad if something big happened next to Magnolia.

"Have you made great progress in your strength?"

Looking at Moon, Makarov asked with concern. Even if it was Moon who made the noise, there must be a reason. The scene was so grand, it was estimated that his strength had been greatly improved. After all, Moon's magic was related to the stars.

"Just a little bit."

Moon stretched out his hand, smiled and made a "fingertip universe" gesture.

"."

Makarov and Laxus were both speechless. After causing such a big commotion, how could there be only a small improvement?

The powerful magical fluctuation just now shocked them both, and even Makarov was shocked in the city.

"Let me put it this way. I will definitely pass this year's S-rank exam. Even Uncle Gildarts can't stop me."

Moon didn't keep the secret any longer and made the bold statement directly.

Although the specific content of the S-level assessment has not been made public, Moon can more or less guess the general process.

Judging from the exams in previous years, there must be a part where one has to fight against the S-class wizards in the guild, because Uncle Gildarts is basically present in every exam, which is definitely not a coincidence.

After all, Uncle Gildarts didn't spend much time in the guild. He was there for every S-level exam. If someone said that the exam had nothing to do with him, Moon would not believe it at all.

Moreover, every time people who participated in the S-level assessment came back, they looked at Uncle Gildarts with awe in their eyes, and the process of the S-level exam was almost obvious to them.

As soon as Moon said this, Makarov and Laxus' expressions changed. They were not surprised that Moon could guess this, they just thought that Moon's words were a bit exaggerated.

“Is the improvement that big?”

Makarov looked suspicious. He thought that Moon said that because he might not know how powerful Gildarts was.

Gildarts's strength cannot be guessed by common sense. His strength has far exceeded the concept of "S-class wizard". Even among the "Ten Holy Wizards", Makarov is confident that he can compete for the first place. At least Makarov dare not say that he is better than Gildarts.

"You don't necessarily have to meet Gildarts when you take the S-rank exam."

Laxus spoke from the side, already an S-class wizard, and now qualified as a part of the exam.

In Laxus's opinion, the number of people taking the exam this time was not large, so there was no need for Gildarts to come back specially, and even in the future there would be no need for him to come back, so he could just take charge.

"Oh? Could it be that my opponent is you, Laxus? That would make the difficulty much easier. Isn't Uncle Gildarts coming back?"

After hearing what Laxus said, Moon was a little confused. He was also outspoken and said directly that Laxus was not as powerful as Gildarts.

"You have to defeat me first! I know your strength, so I will show no mercy! Let's have a good fight between us two brothers! Don't worry, even if you lose, I will pass you."

Laxus spoke angrily after being criticized by Moon, but he also admitted that his strength was far inferior to Gildarts.

If there is anyone in the guild whose strength can be recognized and admired by Laxus, it can only be Gildarts.

When he took part in the S-level assessment last year, he had just fought with Gildarts. It can be said that he was greatly shocked and frustrated. He was severely taught a lesson and realized the terrifying power of the top strong people. This is why he suddenly became a little honest this year.

As for the strength of his grandfather, Laxus certainly knew that he was very strong.

But the old man had never beaten him after all, and the old man's age was there. The shock brought to him by the powerful old man was far less direct than that brought to him by a Mesozoic like Gildarts.

When Laxus took the test for the first time, Gildarts defeated him without much effort. Laxus knew that Gildarts was strong, but he didn't know how strong he was.

When Laxus really passed the test, Gildarts recognized his strength and also showed his own strength, making Laxus understand that there is always someone stronger than you. This was also a lesson for Laxus.

"So you don't need to defeat the examiner. Even if you get beaten up, you can still pass the test, right?"

Moen smiled and spoke. He was clearly asking a question, but it sounded like he was cursing.

Laxus' face instantly turned red, that was exactly what he was, he got beaten up but still got a "pass".

"This is perfectly normal. As a veteran S-class wizard, the examiner must be stronger. He should be able to handle the challenges of the youngsters. As long as the youngsters are recognized, they will be considered to have passed the assessment."

Makarov explained something and helped Laxus out of the predicament. He didn't shy away from saying things like "revealing the question".

In fact, there is no need to hide the content of this level. This level is based on your strength.

Even if you know the "question" in advance, you still can't beat it. If you can defeat the examiner and gain recognition by "finding a way", that is also a skill, and wisdom itself is part of the battle.

"So even if Laxus, a new generation examiner, was defeated by a candidate like me, it's actually understandable, right?"

After hearing what Grandpa Makarov said, Moon nodded seriously, and then said something that made Laxus's veins bulge.

"You little brat! Your confidence is really overflowing. I want to see how much stronger you are than the last time you beat Joseph Bola!"

Laxus gritted his teeth. Although he had a hunch that Moon's strength must have improved significantly this time, and maybe his strength was really not worse than his, but this guy's tone as if he had him in his hands made Laxus want to teach him a lesson.

"I can't wait."

Moon laughed and argued with Laxus, but he was obviously more confident than Laxus.

Laxus's impression of Moon's strength was the strength they had when they fought side by side against Joseph Bolana.

At that time, they were already not much different from each other. Moon had completely upgraded his weapons and the big scene he created seemed to be a huge improvement. Naturally, Laxus would feel a little less confident.

But Laxus certainly wouldn't back down. Following Makarov, the two brothers walked back while arguing with each other.

The old man was walking in front and also smiled and shook his head when he heard it. He was not worried that the two brothers would quarrel here. Laxus only knew how to quarrel with Moon like this.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The next day, Magnolia woke up to a roar. The "Dangdangdang" bells kept ringing, and flying trumpets were shouting everywhere, "Gildarts mode activated", asking everyone to hide, because the man is back!

"Didn't you say that you don't need to come this time, uncle?"

At the guild gate, Moon came out to greet the returning Uncle Gildarts.

His face was filled with confusion. He had clearly not expected Uncle Gildarts to return. Had Laxus lied about the military intelligence? Or had he been scared? Too afraid to fight him, so he invited Uncle Gildarts back?

No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely. It doesn't seem like something Laxus would do.

When Morn called him, Gildarts woke up as if from a dream. He scratched his head, looked around, and found that he had returned to the guild gate.

"Huh? What do you mean you don't need me to come?"

Gildarts looked at Moon, confused, not knowing what Moon was talking about.

"The S-class wizard exam. Isn't that what you came back for?"

Moon tilted his head. Looking at Uncle Gildarts's expression, he was also a little confused. So, the uncle didn't come back for the assessment?

"Oh! Is the assessment about to start again? Then I'm back just in time!"

After hearing what Moon said, Gildarts suddenly understood. He looked at Moon seriously and asked:

"Are you going to take the S-level test?"

"Yes, I will participate this time."

Moon nodded. It seemed that the plan had changed. Uncle Gildarts was back, so Laxus would probably have to stand aside.

Thinking of this, Moon's expression became serious. Facing Laxus, he was still very confident that he could win, but facing Uncle Gildarts, this confidence was much greater. He had been bragging before just to show his confidence.

There is no way. Uncle Gildarts's "Crushing Magic" is too overbearing. It directly crushes everything at the atomic level. Everything in the world, including magic, can be shattered. In comparison, this guy looks like a real Saint Seiya!

Moon didn't dare to guarantee that his newly mastered "crystal wall" would be able to block or even bounce back Uncle Gildarts's crushing magic.

After all, the "Crystal Wall" does not invalidate the enemy's attacks. Uncle Gildarts's power can even shatter the enemy's magic. He is indeed a very tough opponent.

"Do we have to play high-level games right from the start? Interesting."

Moon became a little excited. Fighting with Uncle Gildarts would definitely be more exciting than fighting with Laxus.

"With your strength, it's time for you to join."

Gildarts and Moon were talking as they entered the guild. He was not surprised at all that Moon wanted to take the S-class wizard examination. Although Moon was not yet fifteen years old, his record and strength were there, and he was fully qualified.

After entering the guild and greeting everyone warmly, Gildarts sat down at the bar and ordered a drink from Ailo. Then he looked at Moon, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, last night, the stars in the sky suddenly flashed like crazy. Was it you who did that?"

Gildarts took a sip of wine and asked curiously. Moon, the "Rose Star God", was quite famous. The strange behavior of the stars made everyone think of him. After all, whenever he fought, the stars in the sky would flash.

"It's me. I've made some small progress in my abilities."

Moon nodded helplessly. He was used to people thinking of him. After he went out in the morning, many citizens in the city asked him about it. Many reports published in the newspapers also specifically mentioned him as the "Rose Star God".

The thing is, when someone is too famous, people will think of him when something happens.

With the release of "Sherlock Holmes II" and the release of some new music, although Moon has not done anything big in the past six months, his fame is indeed growing.

It has only been two or three years since his debut, but Moon's fame in the entire Ishgar continent has even surpassed that of the "Fairy Tail" guild. After all, the main venue of "Fairy Tail" is still the Kingdom of Fiore, and only powerful wizards will go to places farther away.

It's not just bigger than "Fairy Tail", it's even bigger than Makarov. After all, Moon's fan base is indeed wider, while Makarov is mainly famous as a wizard.

Just as I thought of Makarov, the old man appeared with a bottle of wine. His face was a little drunk. He looked at Gildarts and said:

"Gildarts, you're back. There's a new S-rank mission. Do you think you'd like to take it? They specifically want you to do it."

Gildarts had just returned when Makarov began assigning new tasks.

There's nothing that can be done about it. It's not that Makarov wants to exploit Gildarts. The employer specifically asked Gildarts to go, otherwise he wouldn't do it.

If someone else could take over, Makarov would have assigned it to Laxus, so there would be no need to let Gildarts go on a mission before he even had a chance to sit down.

"No problem. I'll go right away."

Gildarts took the order, took a look at it, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and agreed immediately.

Putting down his wine glass, Gildarts stood up and was about to leave.

"."

Moon bared his teeth. This was truly awesome. Uncle Gildarts had been away from the guild for years, but he had also made a huge contribution to the guild's S-level mission indicators. He had been completing one mission after another!

Beside Moon, Kana, who had just come over, opened her mouth and wanted to talk to Gildarts, but seeing that Gildarts was about to set off again without stopping, she silently shut up.

"Kana? What's wrong? Are you going to take the S-rank test this time as well?"

Gildarts stood up and noticed Kana coming over. Seeing Kana's hesitation, he thought Kana was also here to ask about the S-level assessment.

".No."

Kana opened her mouth, wanting to explain that she hadn't signed up for this.

"Keep going! Cana, you're very talented. You can definitely become an S-class wizard."

However, Gildarts did not wait for her to finish explaining, but directly encouraged Kana. He was sincere. He felt that every child in the guild was excellent and would definitely become the backbone that could support the guild in the future.

"S-class wizard?"

After hearing what Gildarts said, Kana stood there in a daze. She muttered to herself, as if she was deeply affected by this sentence.

"By becoming an S-class wizard, you can do various quests with better rewards like me. You will officially become the pillar of the guild and someone that everyone can trust."

Gildarts went on to say that he strongly encourages everyone to take the S-class wizard exam. He hopes that everyone has this ambition and pursuit, and not give up because of a few setbacks. If you want to become an S-class wizard, you must go through hardships.

"Okay! I want to sign up too!"

"I want to participate too!"

"Count me in!"

After Gildarts' encouragement, the guild immediately became lively, and a lot of people clamored to sign up for the test. Among them, Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel were the most excited.

Chapter 172 S-class wizard assessment!

"Gildarts is leaving and still causing me so much trouble."

Looking at Gildarts's leaving back, Makarov was so angry that his teeth were bared.

Gildarts encouraged everyone and then left. As a result, Makarov had to deal with the S-level assessment by himself, which of course made him feel very annoyed.

Originally, only Moon, Erza, and Mirajane were going to take part in the test, so a simple arrangement was all that was needed. Makarov knew that among the three, only Moon could pass the test, and Erza and Mirajane would just be runners-up this time.

After all, there are still certain strength requirements for S-class wizards in "Fairy Tail".

Although Erza and Mira are both gifted children, they are not yet up to the standard of S-class wizards and cannot even pass the first level guarded by Laxus.

Therefore, this time the S-class wizard assessment was basically held for Moon alone. In fact, it was just a formality. Moon's strength was indeed obvious to all.

"Grandpa Makarov! Let us all join in!"

Natsu shouted that he had always wanted to take part in the S-class wizard examination, but had been rejected before. Makarov thought it was too early for them to participate now and did not give them the opportunity to sign up.
