Turning Weaknesses into Strengths

Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa.

When Gajeel and Levy were still immersed in the joy of defeating their opponents, applause suddenly rang out. The two turned their heads and saw Calvin smiling as he clapped his hands and slowly walked toward them.

Levy immediately became nervous, looking forward to Calvin's announcement.

"Your performance was very good. You passed this exam."

When they heard the two words "pass", both Gajeel and Levy immediately cheered. They had finally passed the first stage of the assessment.

However, Gajeel's smiling face did not last long. It immediately returned to its original evil appearance, and there was a bit of unhappiness in it.

After the two of them calmed down, Calvin continued.

"The Summoned Beast you defeated just now is called Zeta the Magnet Warrior. I believe you have also noticed that its ability completely counters your magic. Because this is a card I specially created for your weaknesses."

"Every sorcerer has their own shortcomings. If you want to become S-Class Sorcerer, you must learn how to overcome it and defeat your opponent."

"Remember, weakness can be overcome. At the moment, your weakness may not be your advantage in the future." Calvin said seriously. Levy nodded repeatedly as he listened, while Gajeel was a little disapproving.

"But it is really fortunate that you can trust each other so much. I thought that Gajeel must have forced Levy to bring him to participate." Calvin said with a smile.

It had to be known that the reason for the war with Phantom Lord was mostly because Gajeel had attacked Levy's Shadow Gear team. Calvin had placed her position on Levy and thought about it. Not to mention trusting him, she would never invite him to be a pawn no matter what.

"Haha... to a certain extent, Calvin, you are right," Levy said with a bitter smile. It was indeed Gajeel who volunteered to help her. Otherwise, she really did not have the confidence to step into this island.

Levy's expression at this time, it was not difficult to see her dependence on Gajeel.

Calvin looked at Levy, then looked at Gajeel who put on an unhappy face, and suddenly came to a realization.

"I really didn't expect that you would like bad men, Levy."

These words instantly made Levy blush, and she shook her head and waved his hand in panic.

Seeing Levy like this, Calvin felt even happier.

However, Gajeel didn't seem to want to say anything more. He pulled Levy and was about to leave the cave.

"How long-winded. Since we have passed, let's go, Levy."

Just as he was about to leave the cave, he seemed to remember something and stopped to ask Calvin.

"You said that creature was created specifically to exploit our weaknesses, but how did you know it would be the two of us? We chose this passage ourselves, didn't we?"

"What are you talking about? I still have seven summoned beasts that haven't had a chance to shine," Calvin said feigning regret, but Gajeel overheard and left without saying a word.

Seeing that the two of them did not seem to agree with his seriousness, Calvin felt a little discouraged.

Walking in the quiet passageway, Levy stole a peek at Gajeel. She found that he did not seem to care too much about what Calvin said to her. She could not help but feel a little relieved, but then she felt a little sad.

However, Gajeel's face was full of displeasure. She no longer cared about that sentence and asked Gajeel in a serious tone.

"What's wrong? Can't you be happier after passing the exam? Is it still painful?"

The attack that Gajeel suffered just now was not a joke, which made Levy really worried that he could continue the second exam.

"I seem to be seriously injured, right? This is what makes me unhappy. Calvin only used a single Summoned Beast to force the two of us to this point. Moreover, he was only watching from the side. He hasn't even used those auxiliary and harassment spells before." Gajeel cursed.

It wasn't that he had any objections to Calvin, but the gap between the two of them was so great. The unwillingness to admit defeat in his heart made him very uncomfortable.

It had to be known that not long ago, Gajeel was the strongest among Phantom Lords. He had never thought that he was much weaker than Calvin. However, regardless of whether he was easily defeated by Calvin in the battle with Phantom Lord or the two of them working together to barely defeat Laxus, it all made him deeply feel that he was lacking.

Levy looked at Gajeel with helpless eyes. The latter's expression was like an angry child, making her secretly laugh in her heart.

However, Levy still explained for him.

"Calvin said that it was Summoned Beast who targeted our weakness."

"This is the more terrifying part. It means that he can deal with all of us by himself. You should know that the participants of our eight teams are the strongest group of people besides S-Level."

After Gajeel finished speaking, even he felt that it was a little scary.

In fact, the reason why Gajeel was so agitated was not only because he felt that there was a great difference in strength between him and Calvin. The examination just now was also one of the reasons. Using Summoned Beast to test the two of them gave him the feeling that Calvin was going easy on them. This was the most awkward thing for him.

"Everyone knows that Calvin is very strong. Don't try to be stubborn." Levy said in a bad mood.

"His magic is really destroying the balance. Didn't he just say that every sorcerer has a weakness? What nonsense is this? I didn't find that he has a weakness!" Gajeel was still indignant.

Isn't that so? As long as we find the enemy's weakness, Calvin can create a needle for the enemy's card. Theoretically, there is no enemy that Calvin can not defeat.

Even if we exclude this, those Summoned Beast are stronger than the other.

"It's not that there are no weaknesses." At this time, Levy suddenly said faintly.

"Huh?"

Gajeel looked at her in surprise. He did not understand why Levy would say this.

Levy sighed, and his eyes became deep. It was unknown what he thought of.

After a while, she finally spoke.

"Card of Summoning seems magical, but in fact, there are a lot of weaknesses. He has to prepare for trouble in advance. The manipulation of Summoned Beast is complicated, and the production of cards is even more difficult. Master has advised him several times. It is better to give up on Card of Summoning and concentrate on studying Law of Amaterasu's magic."

"I remember when I first joined Fairy Tail, although Calvin was not weak, it was based on his magic power and wisdom that was higher than his peers. At that time, Card of Summoning was actually a burden to him."

"At that time, Summoned Beast was not that strong. He could be used to bully ordinary opponents, but when facing stronger enemies, he was completely helpless."

"The reason why he was so strong was just as he said just now. He overcame these weaknesses and turned it into his own advantage."

"You haven't seen him spend his days in the library all day and night. I still feel terrible when I think about it now. He will study all the useful magic and then join Card of Summoning."

"Card of Summoning is strong not because it is strong, but because Calvin made it strong."

After Levy finished speaking, Gajeel fell silent. After listening to Levy's words, he found that his previous vision was a little too short-sighted, and he was obviously jealous just now.

"Well, don't preach to me anymore. I understand what Calvin wants to express." Gajeel said without warning.

Levy glanced at Gajeel and found that his expression had become more determined.

This was what Gajeel thought in his heart. Since Calvin could make Card of Summoning, who was originally weak, become so powerful, what else could he complain about?

After all, Dragon Slayers' magic was a powerful magic recognized by the whole world.

"Just wait and see, Levy. One day, I will become stronger than Calvin! This has nothing to do with personal grudges, but I want to prove my value!"

"This exam is the first step. I will definitely promote you to S-Class!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gajeel and Levy had already stepped out of the passage and arrived outside.

Master Makarov was waiting for them.

And the second round was about to begin.
