Chereads / Fairy Tail: Sun Eater / Chapter 313 - 313. Chariot

Chapter 313 - 313. Chariot

As Ben stands in front of Jura, he says, "You really don't disappoint me, Jura. The only one who has withstood 30 steps so far is Gildarts. He withstood 36 steps before succumbing. Now, let's end this, my friend."

Ben takes a step forward and Jura finally passed out as the pressure increase tremendously. The last thing that Jura thought is how Gildarts could withstand something like this. He is also still wondering what kind of technique Ben used until he lost consciousness.

The battle ends with Ben's victory, giving Fairy Tail B another 10 points. Everyone else is speechless by what has just happened. Silence falls upon the stadium as everyone is stunned at how the battle ends.

Even the commentator is speechless and he only says something after Yajima poked him. He announces the result as Ben picks the unconscious Jura and puts the baldie on his shoulder.

Ben brings Jura to the Lamia Scale's stand and gives him to Lyon. "Tell him that I enjoyed the fight. I will wait for another fight with him. You guys can also challenge me anytime. It includes you, Granny," says Ben while looking at Ooba Babasaama.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY YOU CHEEKY BRAT?" asks Ooba Babasaama who is already pissed at Jura's defeat.

Ben runs away while laughing to evade her Spinning Magic. He likes to mess with her because her reactions are always funny. They are close enough to joke like this, so there is no problem after Ben said that.

After he returned to his team's stand, Ben gets a hug from his children. He has won, after all, so they are very happy right now. His teammates congratulate him even though they knew he would win.

"I really hoped you would use your full strength, but it seems even Jura couldn't make you do that," says Freed disappointedly.

"Well, that's not entirely true. He made me use all my close combat skills. That was my full physical strength, so he made it," says Ben while smirking.

"Damn monster. You fought someone who strengthened his attacks with magic using only your physical strength?" asks Laxus.

Ben just smiles while putting his children on his shoulders. The others sigh because they all know just how ridiculous Ben's power is. They just leave the topic and watch the result of today's games.

Fairy Tail B : 20 points

Sabertooth : 18 points

Fairy Tail A : 16 points

Blue Pegasus : 12 points

Lamia Scale : 4 points

Mermaid Heel : 3 points

Quatro Cerberus : 1 point

Scarmiglione : 0 points

Fairy Tail B wins the first day with full points after winning the preliminary round. It's a good result for them, but the Sabertooth guild isn't happy with it. Sabertooth wants to be the best even from the 1st game, but Fairy Tail ruins it.

Ben looks at Jiemma, Sabertooth's Guild Master who watches from the audience seat. He grins while raising his index finger to show Jiemma what guild is the real number one. Of course, the old man isn't pleased, and his magic power leaks out, scaring the people around him.

It makes Ben laugh and his teammates just sigh at it. But they are satisfied with this result because their team gets 1st place and team A is 3rd. There are still 4 days left though, so they can't be full of themselves yet.

Fairy Tail returned to their hotel, not the lodgings that were prepared by the Organizer. They hold a small party to celebrate their successful 1st day. But Ben & Mira aren't joining it because they need to take care of their kids.

After the party, something funny happens. Cana is walking around the city to buy alcohol. But then she meets Bacchus from Quatro Cerberus who challenges her into a drinking contest. They start the drinking battle and got wasted at the same time.

Elfman who finds them while they drink has a surprised look. "Unbelievable! He can match Cana who has gotten even better at drinking after being trained by Gildarts."

"Did he train her to drink alcohol?" asks Evergreen while sweatdropping.

Elfman & Evergreen are having a secret date that is not really a secret. Their guildmates have seen them, but they don't say anything. Anyway, Elfman & Evergreen take Cana back to their hotel and leave Bacchus on his own.

Day changes and the 2nd day of Grand Magic Games begins. The first event is a game called Chariot that has no further explanation again. Ben thinks for a while before sending Freed to compete in the first game.

"Are you sure? This sound like a race, so shouldn't we send you or Laxus which are the fastest among us?" asks Freed.

"That's exactly why I send you. If it's me or Laxus, then this will not be a competition anymore. Also, from the game's name, it might be a race using vehicles. Laxus sucks at driving," says Ben.

"Hey, no need to say that," says Laxus pissedly.

"Yeah, everyone knows it, so no need to say that," says Cana while smirking.

Laxus gets even more pissed and tries to knock Cana's head, but she evades. They keep bickering on the back while Ariel & Gabriel cheer on them from Mira's arms. Ben ignores them and tells Freed the basic strategy.

"Listen, this could be a racing game, right? But this is a race of Mages. So it's not all about speed, it's also about how you hinder your opponents. You know what I mean, right?" asks Ben.

Freed seems to get enlightenment and he nods while thinking of what he should do. Ben doesn't need to say anything else because Freed must've known what he meant. Freed is smart, so he understands what Ben wants him to do in this game.

Some minutes later, the 2nd day's game starts. Every team's representative comes out and Fairy Tail B is getting speechless by what they see. Fairy Tail A has sent Natsu in a game that might involve vehicles.

"I... I don't know what to say," says Ben.

"He must've done it selfishly again. Look, Gajeel must've also wanted to do it, but Natsu went first," says Mira.

"2 Dragon Slayers with motion sickness are trying to compete in a game that might involve vehicles. That's a very Fairy Tail thing. Our guild will lose if not for our team," says Laxus.

"But hey, Sabertooth also sends their Dragon Slayer," says Cana.

They all look at Sting who represents Sabertooth in the game. It makes them confused at first, but they understand it fast when they see Sting's look at Natsu. He must've joined this game because Natsu also joined it.

"Well, at least we won't get the last 2 places," says Ben as the game starts being explained.

The game is really a race, but instead of driving the chariots, they will run on interconnected chariots. This game's rule is simple, reach the goal at the end line of chariots without falling. There's no other rule except for the competition's basic rules.

Freed smirks when he hears the rules because it means his plan will work. The game begins after a few minutes. Everyone immediately starts to run on the chariots, including Freed who runs normally without using any magic.

Freed runs normally, but he is still faster than 3 people. Behind him are Bacchus who still has hungover from last night, and the Dragon Slayers who get motion sickness. Also, while he runs normally, he is still close to the other 4 in front of him.

The closest one is Ichiya from Blue Pegasus and Risley from Mermaid Heel. Freed then takes out his sword and slashes the chariot that he steps on. Nothing happens at that moment, but when Bacchus arrives, he slams onto a rune wall and can't pass through.

After that, Freed runs faster and slashes his sword at Ichiya & Risley on the back. Dark runes appear on their back and they suddenly fly toward Yuka from Lamia Scale and Dean from Scarmiglione who has run far ahead of everyone with his quick feet.

Both Ichiya & Risley scream as they fly and then they hit the 2 on the front. The 4 of them fall, but they are still holding on to the Chariot. Freed passes them easily and keeps running while slashing his sword at the Chariots.

He just runs normally and the others behind him keep bumping into the rune walls that he made. Only Risley can pass them all easily by running on the side of the Chariots using her Gravity Change Magic. However, her distance from Freed is too far, so she only gets 2nd place.

Freed reaches the finish line and looks back, "I hope that's interesting enough."
