The magic train set off from Magnolia Station with a clang and clang, heading southwest along the railway.
The scenery outside the window gradually became desolate from the crowded urban area.
The branches and leaves of the trees along the railway were withered, which was completely different from Knight's previous two rides, when it was still summer and autumn.
In the carriage, the quiet atmosphere gradually became lively.
The entire carriage was full of Fairy Tail members. Where there are Fairy Tail, it will not be quiet.
It's not that they spent a lot of money to get off the train.
It's that the other passengers in the original carriage left and ran to other carriages as soon as they saw Fairy Tail.
Nate didn't know whether to say this was a benefit or a disadvantage of being famous…
Let's just call it a benefit.
"Scarlet Angel, this woman is very strange."
Gildarts was still talking about Irene, "When I first matched with her, she didn't seem to be here to spar."
"Isn't the Magic Arena a place for "527" sparring?" Erza was very interested in this.
"Compared to the opponent, she cared more about the game map itself, as if she was taking a walk in the arena." Gildarts recalled.
Mirajane tilted her head, "Just want to stay in the game?"
"That's the feeling." Gildarts nodded.
"Stay in the game?"
Erza thought for a moment and couldn't understand the other party's motives.
So, next, the few people who had nothing to do had a long discussion about Irene's motives.
What about being unable to move in real life, maybe only lying in bed, and only in the game can you get physical and mental freedom – this is the guess of the black-hearted Miss Mira.
Gildarts refuted it with "this woman's magic power is very strong".
Erusa guessed "maybe she is studying magic".
Just like Laxus and his friends in the magic arena, they studied the magic fusion between dragon slayers.
Just such a question, a group of people can talk all the way.
Later, Laxus and Mistgang also joined in and expressed their opinions.
No, we are taking the level-up exam, right? As an examiner!
Can't we talk about something related to the exam?
For example, who is most likely to pass this year.
This is what the examiner should talk about!
Nate was speechless about this.
"Why not just ask in person!"
Erusa, who was a man of action, immediately started matching.
Unfortunately, she didn't get what she wanted until the train arrived at Hargeon.
It was already past one in the afternoon when everyone walked out of the Hargeon train station.
Then everyone rushed to the port.
A sailing ship was already waiting at the port. There was a huge Fairy Tail pattern on the sail of the ship, and the Fairy Tail flag was hung on the mast..
According to Makarov, this ship is the property of the guild and is rarely used. It will be leased to a shipping company.
After everyone boarded the ship, the ship set sail and slowly left the port.
On the deck.
"Ahem…"
Makarov stood at the bow and coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention:
"It is expected to arrive at our guild's holy land, Tianlang Island, in the evening. The first level of the exam will be held at night."
"You already know the rules of the exam. Now let's make additional explanations of the rules."
As soon as the president finished speaking, Mavis's figure suddenly appeared above.
Seeing Mavis suddenly appear, everyone except Knight was shocked.
"Who are you?" Natsu shouted.
"I am Mavis, the first president of Fairy Tail. Hello, children of Fairy Tail."
Mavis floated in the air with bare feet.
Everyone was more shocked.
Juvia was surprised. She was the first generation?
Lucy opened her eyes wide, "President Mavis?"
"Lucy, we meet again." Mavis greeted with a smile:
"Regarding the rules of the first stage of this S-level upgrade exam, I will give you some additional explanations."
"Third generation."
The old man took out a small wooden box with a round opening on the top that could allow a hand to pass through.
Mavis continued:
"There are 16 small balls inside, and they look the same. Each of you will draw one. Please keep it safe."
"After the exam begins, take it and meet up with your partner."
"After you meet up, put the two small balls together, the seal will be lifted, and the things inside will guide you to the second level."
The candidates looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gray raised his hand and said, "What if I accidentally lose it?"
"Gray," Mavis called out his name and said with a smile, "You will be disqualified."
"What if it was taken away by someone else?" Gajeel grinned.
Mavis smiled but said nothing.
Felide whispered to his partner: "I feel that the biggest trouble in the first level is not the fusion, but how to protect your ball before the fusion."
Unlike others who were concerned about the supplementary rules of the exam, Mester was in awe.
I didn't expect that the first president of Fairy Tail was still alive! ?
Tracing back the history of Fairy Tail, it was founded in X686…
In other words, the person in front of him has lived for at least a hundred years?
Then, he found that Mavis's state was different from that of ordinary people. She was a ghost..
Do I need to report this to the Council?
Mester couldn't help but glance at Knight.
Knight knew that he was an undercover sent by the Council, but he didn't tell others.
ThinkingAfter a moment, Meister chose to wait and see.
"Okay, this is the supplementary rule. I look forward to your performance~"
Mavis landed beside Makarov, took the wooden box from the old man, and said to the candidates with a smile:
"Let's draw lots now."
Soon, all 16 candidates drew a white ball from the box.
Natsu wanted to open it immediately, but there was a seal on the ball. Forcing it open would destroy the things inside.
In the evening.
The ship finally arrived at the coast of Tenrou Island.
Nate stood in front of many candidates and smiled:
"Then, let me take you up. I will activate the teleportation magic circle and randomly teleport you to somewhere on the island…"
Kana cast a look, as if to say "give me some water"!
Nate pretended not to see it. Even if she was a girlfriend, she had to abide by the rules at this time.
With a snap, Knight clapped his hands.
The next moment, sixteen golden magic circles appeared under everyone's feet.
"Well, good luck to you."
As soon as the voice fell, sixteen people were teleported to the island.
Three cats were also teleported away.
In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left on the ship's deck.
Makarov said, "You examiners, go up too."
Hearing this, Knight activated Flying Thunder God again.
The next moment, including himself, six examiners also disappeared from the deck.
…
Tenrou Island, under the Tenrou Tree.
A flash of golden light.
Knight looked up at the sunset glow and thought, how to solve the problem of dinner?
Sitting cross-legged under the tree, Knight opened the programming tool that came with the magic network.
I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well write a few lines of code.
Now that the number of registered users of Magic Network has exceeded one million, it is time to divert the forum.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened.
Suddenly, Knight stopped the work at hand.
The magic power in his body seemed to have broken a certain limit, and suddenly a wave of fluctuations broke out.
Knight opened the panel immediately.
[Magic:]
Eight stars! .
