The Saber-Biting Tiger guild leader watched as Minerva, Sting, Rogue, Rufus, and Orga joined the group.
German, the guild leader of Saberbite Tiger, is an extremely tall and muscular man, even more exaggerated than Oruga, standing at about two meters tall. He is dressed like Sha Wujing (Sandy), with a string of Buddhist beads around his neck and the guild's emblem printed on his forehead, but his face is extremely fierce.
Looking at Germain sitting upright in his seat, all the Sabertooth members held their breath and dared not even make a sound.
Because everyone knows that Germain is in a very bad mood right now. In fact, he's practically in a state of rage.
Second place?
A deep, tiger-like roar came from Germain's mouth.
"The once-renowned Saberbite Tiger, standing at the pinnacle, revered, admired, and feared by countless people, has now been reduced to second place by a bottom-ranked trash guild? And during the preliminaries, they even knelt before an elf mage! You have truly disgraced the Saberbite Tiger!"
Everyone's palms started to sweat.
It must be said that Germain's voice, when filled with anger, was truly terrifying.
Chapter 320 The Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar
In fact, Germain is in a very bad mood right now.
Swordbite Tigers, hailed as the strongest guild and standing at the pinnacle of all guilds in the entire kingdom, actually ranked second in the preliminaries before the official competition even began? More importantly, they were forced to kneel before someone! What a disgrace!
Germain could already imagine how many people would laugh at Saberbite Tiger when the news got out.
Of course, this is not just Germain's imagination.
For the average resident, it was certainly surprising that Sabertooth could only come in second place in the preliminaries. However, what was even more surprising was the fact that Fairy Tail (fairy_tail) had taken first place from Sabertooth, and even knelt down in front of everyone!
After all, Fairy Tail has always been at the bottom.
This time, by surpassing all other guilds in the qualifiers and taking first place, it will definitely surprise many people.
While losing first place is surprising, kneeling down is definitely a joke!
That's why Germain was so angry when this fact came to light.
"The only one that can command respect is Sabertooth. It has always been so; no one can command respect from Sabertooth. Let alone Fairy Tail, which has been in decline for seven years."
Germain's gaze swept coldly over everyone below.
"You should understand what I mean, right?"
Those who were caught in Germain's gaze couldn't help but swallow hard.
In the end, it was Sting who stepped forward, bowed his head, and spoke with the same reverence one would show to a superior.
"President, please rest assured, we will not lose again."
“Remember your promise,” Germain said expressionlessly.
"And remember this: my Saberbite Tiger has no use for useless trash who can't win."
“…Yes…” Sting could only reply in a low voice.
Germain's anger subsided considerably. Then, his gaze shifted to Minerba.
"Is that Li Xiaoxi really that strong? She can actually suppress you all with just magic power?"
“He’s not human. His strength is beyond what a human should possess. And that woman, she’s not human either!” Minerba’s voice and body trembled slightly as she mentioned Li Xiaoxi and Brandish.μ.
"Rufus, is that Li Xiaoxi really that scary? What do you think?"
"I agree with the young lady!" Rufus adjusted his hat, answering truthfully. If one observed closely, one could see that Rufus used considerable force to adjust his hat, accomplishing something he wouldn't normally do. "I heard that seven years ago, in a very short time, he killed Joseph and Zeref, two of the Ten Wizard Saints, and was thus ranked sixth among them. Moreover, he completed a century-old mission that no one else could! Now, just a few days later, he was ranked fourth among the Ten Wizard Saints by the Magic Council!"
"Ranked fourth among the Ten Wizard Saints by the Council!! You're not kidding!" Germain said, his tone undeniably accusatory.
"President, would I dare to joke with you like that?"
"The fourth of the Ten Wizard Saints, no wonder you were all directly suppressed by his magic power, no wonder! No wonder!" Germain wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what the fourth of the Ten Wizard Saints represented!
---------------
As the day gradually began to brighten, many residents of Crocus had already woken up.
These awakened residents were all heading to the Giant Dome - Flamingo to watch the Grand Magic Games live.
Therefore, early in the morning, the streets of Crocus were bustling with people.
People walked in twos and threes, and as the crowd surged, they began to move towards the giant egg - the Flamingo.
Those who were able to go to the Giant Dome - Flamingo to watch the Grand Magic Games were very lucky to have purchased tickets.
After all, while the giant egg-Fra Bird was quite large, it couldn't accommodate all the residents of Crocus, let alone those from all over the kingdom and even the continent.
Therefore, the existence of tickets is perfectly reasonable.
As for those who were unable to purchase tickets, they were able to watch the live stream elsewhere.
Annual festivals like the Grand Magic Games can be broadcast live from any tavern, inn, or even on the streets.
These people don't need to get up so early; they can stay in bed and sleep comfortably.
However, you shouldn't sleep for long.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Above the giant dome-Fla Bird, the sounds of cannons and fireworks echoed in the air.
One by one, balloons were released from the venue and floated into the sky, creating a lively scene combined with the firecrackers and fireworks that were set off everywhere.
As the audience entered, the atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up.
Cheers erupted.
Noise.
The sounds of cannons and fireworks.
The various sounds mingled together, creating an atmosphere that resembled a grand festival, bustling and lively.
On the summit platform in the venue, three people sat side by side.
The leader picked up the microphone and gave a passionate speech to the entire audience.
"Hello everyone, I am Chabat-Lola. I would like to extend my greetings to everyone from all over the kingdom!"
The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers, causing Chabatti Lola to cough slightly, her tense face about to relax, as she pointed to the side beside her.
"I will be providing live coverage of this year's Grand Magic Games, and the commentator is the man next to me. He is Mr. Ajama, a former council member of the Magic Council, and also the close friend of Makarov-Dreah, one of the Ten Wizard Saints who disappeared for seven years and has now returned!"
Li Xiaoxi remembered him; he was the one who awarded her the title of "Holy Ten," and who, after stepping down, opened a restaurant and became its chef.
Now, Yajima has been invited to be the commentator for the Grand Magic Games, but he is still dressed in a chef's uniform and waves to everyone with a kind face.
"Besides myself, who is in charge of live reporting, and Mr. Yajima, who is in charge of commentary, we will invite a guest every other day during the Grand Magic Games to watch the competitions of the various mage guilds with us!" Chabatti's voice remained as enthusiastic as ever.
"And on this very first day, our guest is none other than Jenny Aoiro Tenma, the very top-tier gravure model we all know and love, who is also the cover girl for Magic Weekly!"
As Chabatti finished speaking, on the summit platform, a beautiful young woman sitting next to Yajima, wearing a princess-style dress and with long, light blonde curly hair tied in a ponytail, raised her hand and waved to the audience.
Chapter 321 The Former King
Upon seeing Jenny wave, the audience erupted in an even more enthusiastic cheer than before, making Jenny beam with joy.
"It seems that Mr. Yajima and Miss Jenny are both very famous. Here, I might as well interview the two of them on your behalf." Chabatti, very astutely understanding the atmosphere, asked Yajima, who was standing to the side.
"Mr. Yajima, as a former councilor, in your professional opinion, which guild do you think is the most promising for us in this Grand Magic Games?"
"If I had to say, every guild is actually very much worth looking forward to." Yajima nodded leisurely.
"However, personally, I'm still more looking forward to Fairy Tail."
"Oh? Is that so?" Chabat exclaimed in surprise.
"But didn't Fairy Tail always come in last place in previous years?"
"You said it yourself, that was before," Yajima laughed. "Now, Fairy Tail's main force has returned, and don't forget, this time Fairy Tail is also participating with Li Xiaoxi, the fourth-ranked Wizard of the Wizarding."
"Indeed, a single one of the Ten Wizard Saints can change the course of a battle, let alone a fourth-ranked one. So, the Grand Magic Games are about to begin this year, and the eight teams that have qualified through the preliminary rounds will soon be entering the arena. Now, let's announce the rankings from the preliminary rounds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge projection screen appeared in the center of the venue.
On the screen, the rankings of the major guilds were displayed from top to bottom.
First place: Fairy Tail B Team (fairy_tail_B).
Second place: Saber-biting Tiger.
Third place: The Crow's Tail.
Fourth place: Boa Hancock's Scale.
Fifth place: Blue Pegasus.
Sixth place: Mermaid Heel.
Seventh place: Four-headed hound.
8th place: Fairy Tail A Team (fairy_tail_A).
Looking at the rankings, those in the stands who hadn't come to watch the game last night started making a fuss.
"That Saber-Biting Tiger only came in second place?"
"The number one spot is actually Fairy Tail (fairy_tail)?"
"No way?"
Immediately, a commotion broke out in the audience.
"At this year's Grand Magic Games, the main members who were missing for seven years will also make an appearance. Back then, these members were all very powerful mages. I am very much looking forward to seeing what kind of performance they will bring after their return after seven years."
“I see. Upsets are indeed something to look forward to.” Chabat nodded, then turned to Jenny next to Yajima and asked her a question.
"So, Miss Jenny, which guild do you think is most likely to win?"
“Of course it’s the Blue Pegasus,” Jenny said without any hesitation.
"This year, we're here to win, and we definitely won't lose to anyone."
In an instant, the entire venue was filled with the audience's strong voices of support.
However, when they saw that Fairy Tail had actually been selected for two teams, everyone became even more surprised and noisy.
As if he had anticipated this scene, Chabatti gripped the microphone tightly and spoke to Yajima.
"It seems that Fairy Tail's achievements have surprised everyone. Mr. Yajima, what are your thoughts?"
"I can only say that Fairy Tail has certainly lived up to my expectations." Yajima looked very satisfied.
"I believe that Fairy Tail will show us its past glory and strength in the future, and gain everyone's recognition."
“That makes sense.” Chabat nodded, then looked at Jenny again.
"What are your thoughts, Miss Jenny?"
“Well, I don’t think everyone needs to be so surprised,” Jenny said with a smile.
"No matter what kind of guild it is, if it can make the Grand Magic Games more exciting and lively, wouldn't that be great?"
“As expected of Mr. Yajima and Miss Jenny, their insights are truly admirable.” Chabat raised his voice.
"So please look forward to seeing what kind of performance our former king, Fairy Tail, will deliver!"
The conversation between the three leaders on the podium caused the audience to stop their noise and begin cheering again, seemingly in agreement.
It must be said that this live reporter named Chabatti is truly skilled, maintaining a firm grip on the atmosphere throughout. He didn't forget to hype it up, no wonder he was chosen as the live reporter for the annual Grand Magic Games.
Then, Chabatti began his announcement.
"Now, please welcome our contestants to the stage!"
At that moment, magical light began to emanate from the eight directions below the audience seating area, creating dazzling special effects at the entrances of all eight passages, igniting the hearts of all the spectators.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, eight teams slowly emerged from the crowd.
The loud cheers soared into the sky, shaking the atmosphere.
At the entrance of one of the passages, Li Xiaoxi led Mira, Mirajane, Brandish, Yukino, Wendy, and Mistgang on foot forward.
As Li Xiaoxi led the five people forward, many people in the audience began to discuss among themselves.
"Then it's Li Xiaoxi, the fourth-ranked of the Ten Wizard Saints, the Fairy Child?"
