"AND THE WINNER IS ORGA NANAGEAR OF SABERTOOTH! A TOTAL OF 20 POINTS FOR SABERTOOTH, A PERFECT SCORE ON DAY 1!" Chapati announced.
"NEXT UP FROM FAIRY TAIL B IS MYSTOGAN VS LAMIA SCALE'S JURA NEEKIS! BOTH PARTICIPANTS PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE ARENA!"
"So Jellal's up on the first day-" Erza looked to her right and paused as she realized Meliodas was no longer there.
"Gray, did you see where Meliodas went?" Erza asked.
"Didn't even realize he left." Gray responded.

Jellal walked down the dark corridor leading to the main stage of the arena. Leaning up against the wall of the corridor was Meliodas.
"Yo!" Meliodas greeted.
"Came to wish me good luck against Jura?" Jellal asked.
"Nope. You don't need it. Try not to go all out or else Ultear will freak out again." Meliodas said with a cheeky grin as he raised his right hand up. A smile formed underneath Jellal's mask as he walked up to Meliodas, returning the gesture as he gave Meliodas a high five.
Jellal walked out into the arena and felt the gaze of thousands of eyes staring at him. Already standing in the center of the arena was Jura.
"IN THIS CORNER, WE HAVE THE MYSTERIOUS MASKED WIZARD MYSTOGAN- EVEN AMONG HIS GUILD, ONLY A FEW HAVE SEEN HIS FACE!" Chapati announced.
"AND IN THIS CORNER, WE HAVE ONE OF THIS EVENT'S FAVORITES FOR MVP, ONE OF THE TEN WIZARD SAINTS, JURA NEEKIS!" Chapati continued. The crowd roared wildly as Jura's name was announced.
"As much as I would love to see Fairy Tail do well, I can't let that happen or else my master would throw a fit. My apologies but I won't be holding back." Jura said as Jellal approached. Jellal remained silent as he looked at Jura.
The crowd grew wilder, with nearly the entire crowd cheering for Jura as the two mages stood facing each other.

"Yo!" Meliodas said as he returned to Team A's spectator stand where Erza, Gray, and now Natsu were standing.
"Where did you go?" Gray asked.
"Went to wish a friend good luck is all." Meliodas responded.
"I can't believe Jellal has to fight Jura on the first day." Erza said.
"I know he's a Wizard Saint, but just how much stronger did he get?" Gray asked.
"From what I can tell, he's incredibly strong. I'll be honest, even if Mira and I were to team up and fight him, I'm not completely sure we would win." Erza responded. Both Gray and Natsu stared at Erza with a shocked expression.
"And Jellal's gotta fight that guy?!" Natsu questioned.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about Jellal. I trained him after all." Meliodas said with a cheeky grin.

"GET READY FOLKS! TODAY'S FINAL MATCH! LAMIA SCALE'S JURA NEEKIS VS FAIRY TAIL B'S MYSTOGAN! LET THE MATCH BEGIN!" Chapati announced.
Jellal unstrapped Mystogan's staves off his back, causing them to float around him. Jura immediately swiped with his fingers, causing several large pillars of earth to erupt from beneath Jellal.
Jellal jumped up high into the air, dodging the pillars as Jura made another motion with his hand, causing several more rock pillars to shoot out of the ground.
Jellal twisted his body in the air, dodging each one and landing on one of the pillars. All five of Mystogan's staves landed in a circle around Jura. Jura's eyes widened as he felt an immense amount of magic coming from the staves. Magic circles began to form above Jura, stacking on top of each other one after the other.
"That's so many magic circles!" Natsu exclaimed as he looked up at the sky.
"That's...too much magic!" Jura said with a nervous smile as he looked up at the high stacking different colored circles above him.
"Fifteen layered magic circle: Song of the Heavens."
Starting from the magic circle at the very top, a beam shot down, connecting to the next one, and the next one, continuing through each circle. Jura immediately clapped his hands together.
"Rock-"
Suddenly the staves around Jura exploded, the wood from the staves splintering everywhere and crumbling to the ground. The magic circles that were above Jura suddenly vanished.
'Those staves had a magic limit?! I guess it makes sense. Mystogan couldn't use magic so the staves weren't meant to be used with magic like that.' Jellal thought to himself. A smile formed on Jura's face as a magic circle appeared right in front of him.
"Iron Rock Fist!"
A huge fist made of the earth shot out from the circle straight towards Jellal. Jellal put his arms up in front of him, the fist colliding with him and knocking him back. Jellal's feet remained planted on the ground as he skidded a few meters back. Jura looked at Jellal with noticeable surprise. 'He took that surprisingly well!'
[Jiu Leixing: Sirius]
Jellal quickly recovered from the blow and ran towards Jura. He raised his right hand out to the side. In his hand a sword of lightning formed. As Jellal approached, Jura rapidly moved his right hand in a circle. A large magic circle appeared in front of Jura.
"Supreme King Rock Crush!"
Dozens of rocks shot out from the magic circle straight towards Jellal. Jellal did not slow down and kept moving forward. In a short burst of speed, a bright yellow light engulfed Jellal for an instant and he seemingly vanished from the path of the rocks.
"What? Where did he-" Jura paused as Jellal suddenly appeared in front of him. The rocks behind Jellal were suddenly all cut in half and Jellal immediately slashed downward across Jura's chest.
"Aggghh!" Jura yelled as he felt both the pain of being cut and shocked at the same time. Jura immediately jumped backwards and Jellal jumped up high into the air and raised his right hand over his head. Jura stared at Jellal in awe as Jellal began floating and a huge bright yellow magical circle formed above his head. The sky of the arena gradually started to turn dark, until only the magic circle was illuminating the sky.
"What magical power!" Jura said with a hint of nervousness in his voice. Despite the nervousness a small smile formed on his face. "Let us see which of us is truly stronger, Mystogan!"
Jura clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, taking the appearance as if he was praying. A yellow aura began to engulf Jura and small parts of the arena floor began to rise from the ground.
"I stand in the light of the heavens. Cower before the gates of hell. Come forth divine lightning!" Jellal chanted as lightning crackled from the magic circle as it slowly rotated.
"Where the hell did Jellal pick up lightning magic like that?" Laxus commented with a grin on his face as he looked up into the sky.
Jura opened his eyes and a large magic circle formed on the ground in front of Jura. From the magic circle, a bright light erupted into a massive tower that shot straight up at Jellal.
"Rumbling! Mt. Fuji!"
"Indignation!"
A massive bolt of lightning shot down towards the rising tower from the earth. A huge explosion engulfed the arena in smoke as huge gusts of wind blew outward from the attack.
"What the hell did you teach him?!" Gray shouted as he put his arms up in front of him as a strong gust of wind blew into the spectator stands. Natsu stared wide eyed at the arena as he held tightly onto the guardrail.
"Oh I didn't teach him that." Meliodas responded. "I don't recall him ever using that before in our training. He must have picked up that attack while I was away."
The shockwaves from the explosion died down and the smoke began to clear. The crowd was dead silent as they watched the arena intently, looking for a sign of who the victor was in that clash.
"W-WHAT'S THIS?! THERE'S A HUGE HOLE IN THE ARENA!" Chapati shouted.
More smoke began to clear and the gaping hole that took up most of the arena became clearer and clearer. Laying face down at the very edge of the arena was Jura as Jellal stood at the exact other side of the hole.
"INCREDIBLE! I DON'T BELIEVE IT FOLKS! MYSTOGAN OF FAIRY TAIL HAS DEFEATED JURA NEEKIS WITH AN ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING DISPLAY OF POWER! " Chapati announced. There was complete silence in the arena as the audience tried to comprehend what just happened while Jellal immediately started walking away and back to his spectator spot.
"Show off." Laxus said with a smirk as he punched Jellal in the shoulder.
