Just as Mystogan had vanished from that place on the ship where the participants were, Makarov gave his signal for the start of the exam...
With his signal, everyone used their speciality and dashed towards the island...
Natsu and Happy grew wings and flew off...
Gray and Ur used their ice to slide off from the sea surface...
Juvia swam towards the island as the water was her territory and so did Lisanna as she had used take over to become a mermaid...
Elfman Strauss jumped inside with Evergreen and started swimming as well with Elfman yelling MAN!!! MAN!!!
Cana and Lucy cheated by using Virgo to dug through a magical hole from their ship to the island making everyone be fearful of the ship sinking...
Freed grew wings and flew while Bickslow used his totem as a flying mean to go there...
Levy and Gajeel hopped on top of a few letters Levy had summoned that enabled them to float and started running towards the Island through the air...
Last but not least, Mest and Wendy teleported there...
As they left Makarov suddenly remembered something and was shocked to his core... Ur had taken the exam before and was an official S-Rank Mage...
But because she never took above B-Mission he totally forgot about it...
Hearing his screams of despair, Ur lightly smirked and blurt at the old man watching them leaving with her tongue...
This was her plan to make Gray an S-Rank mage and it worked...
Gray and the rest had also forgotten about it with so many things going on but even if they remembered it who wouldn't want a nice challenge along the way...???
Makarov didn't have any means to stop the exam now and could only blame his memory for that, he had decided to place heavy restrictions on Gray's performance because of that...
Makarov sighed as he watched them almost reached the island... He decided it's time to go and meet with Mavis and have a set it off moment to catch up...
Who knew though he would have a heart attack when he will see her...
Back to the island Natsu and Happy using their super speed reached first and chose the first path from the current 8...
The second to arrive was Mest with Wendy and chose number 2, the third party to arrive was Lucy and Cana along with Virgo choosing the number 3...
Continue on the next team was Juvia and Lisanna as they chose the number 5 from the remaining ones...
Freed and Bickslow reached next and entered Number 4, a moment later Gray and Ur arrived and entered number 6...
Then Levy with Gajeel arrived while entering number seven leaving the panting Elfman and Evergreen from swimming to choose the number 8...
As all of them walked forward they all arrived to open corridors and were stunned by what they were seeing...
Natsu and Happy had met with Gildarts.
Mest, Wendy met with Lucy and Cana in a spacious field that had the rule only one team will pass...
Freed and Bickslow met up with Erza.
Juvia and Lisanna kept walking and walking with no end in front of them, while Gray and Ur met up with Levy and Gajeel on a spacious room that had the rule of only one team will pass...
Last but not least Elfman and Evergreen sweated when they saw who they fell for their match to pass forward...
Elfman : Nee-chan
Mira : Ara, ara... Elfman, i see you are mixing quite well with Evergreen-chan...
Both of them stared at Mira who was at her 100% peak state, both of them tensed up and Elfman ended up lightly smiling shocking the two...
Elfman : Come to think of it it's being a long time since we fought against each other...
Mira : Fufufufufu, then let's see what you have...
