After Ivan and the others went back, the preliminaries began, because the magic power had been collected in the previous years, the kingdom is very willing to spend their money this year. At any rate, their goal has been achieved, so there's no need to worry about other things.
As for the surplus, they can use it for consumption. This is the current state of mind of the kingdom.
Moreover, the king of this kingdom is also the strange type. As a king, he wears a pumpkin head and actually became the host here. There are only a few people who know his identity.
In other worlds where there are more conspiracies, the minister may play a conspiracy to bring this king down and became the new king.
That's why it is said that this guy is really unreliable, but he is indeed a good father.
Compared to those emperor who don't have any affection towards their families, Asahi actually thinks this king is very good.
At the beginning of the preliminaries, a huge magic maze appeared on the sky. There are steps above the maze leading to the residences of various guilds. Because there were too many people this time, as there were more than a hundred teams participating, the preliminaries are held to eliminate the weaklings and trashy teams.
"It's too exaggerated. The kingdom must have spent a lot of money for such thing, so much magic power has been used up!"
Natsu and others looked at the huge stairs leading to their own residence, and they were a little confused.
This time, there are actually two teams participating from Fairy Tail. Asahi didn't understand why Makarov had to conceal it in the original work, but since they knew about each other's' existence this time, he didn't say anything about it.
"Good luck you guys. After you go up later, you can use your past abilities. I already took a look at the rules of this game. It is a huge maze, but you can just destroy it as much as you want. The maze will not be called if you can destroy it!"
Asahi said indifferently, and the others' eyes widened immediately. What was their Fairy Tail best at back then? Other than fighting, only destruction was left, but it was a pity that destruction was banned by Asahi afterwards, so they never done such thing again.
But now, Asahi actually let them destroy things this time. And things like the maze are more fun to destroy.
Although their position will change wildly, as long as they are allowed to destroy things, it is not a problem.
And if Asahi remembers correctly, there seems to be no rules in the preliminaries this time, so destroying things is not a problem at all.
As for whether they cheated or not, that is not a problem. After all, rules are meant to be broken. No matter what fancy means you use, strength is always more important.
Asahi intends to implement the cheating to the end, and he will also intervene in the later competitions.
Although Fairy Tail managed to catch the score back later, their situation is a bit embarrassing at the start.
But it was also because of the rules of the competitions.
Most people in Fairy Tail are full of muscle brains. They may not be able to deal with the opponent when they are using their brains, but now, they only need to use their muscles.
"That's great, I'm all fired up!"
At this moment, the destructive factors in Natsu's body which has been dormant for a long time has awakened again.
After he has been taught to be obedient, he didn't dare to mess around randomly during battle, and the battles that could be resolved as soon as possible was cleared quickly, so the scale of damage was also reduced by more than a hundred times. But now, he can destroy as much as he can, and suddenly feels that some shackles were released from his body.
In this way, after listening to Asahi's words, the two teams quickly dispatched.
"Shodai, is it really okay to do this?"
Makarov asked a little speechlessly, 'Isn't it a bit bad to destroy the plan of the organizer so casually?'
"What's wrong with it? Since they made it, we can naturally do whatever they want as long as we don't violate the rules."
Asahi waved his hand indifferently, 'Makarov is indeed an old man now. He is always thinking too much.'
'What I want is to be unexpected, what I want is to make things happen, otherwise, wouldn't it reduce the strength of our own people?'
After seeing Makarov no longer talking, Asahi directly activated the screen projection of what is happening inside the maze.
Then, Fairy Tail's members outside can see what is happening.
"Lucy, why do you think it's strange? At any rate, you should have experienced it once!"
Levy asked the Future Lucy curiously. In fact, it is very simple to distinguish the two people. The current Lucy is still the same lively Lucy who has not experienced too many things.
Future Lucy is different. After the Tenrou Island incident, she experienced the destruction of her family and his father's death. When the dragon appeared and other members of the guild died one after another, she had already become much more mature.
So when the two Lucy standing side by side, the Future Lucy's temperament is not the same as the current Lucy, and even if they are dressed exactly the same, it is very easy to distinguish them.
"I have experienced it once, but I remember that we are the last among the eight teams, and the second team was second."
Future Lucy couldn't help but think about it, remembering what had happened back then, she felt that they are really stupid to follow the maze obediently.
Because of that, they almost failed to reach the end of the maze.
"So it's like that, but this time Shodai said so, I wondered how Natsu and the others will…"
Before Levy could finish speaking, she stopped abruptly, because at this moment, the Fairy Tail's people on the screen had begun to wreak havoc.
Erza, Natsu, and Gray are all destruction kings, while Lucy and Wendy are watching them by the side.
The second team's members are even more terrifying, they're Mira, Gajeel, Laxus, Juvia and Mystogan.
This Mystogan is not Jellal pretending to be him, but the real Mystogan. As for the substitute, it is Elfman for the first team and Cana for the second team.
Once Mira used Demon Soul, her destructive power was shown, and the violent magic power raged in the entire enclosed space, scaring the people of other guilds from daring to move.
Erza is even more straightforward, because these things are made of magical power, she directly throws the red rose in her hand to make a direct path to the finish line.
After that, Natsu and the others also raged crazy in the maze, and after a while, the entire maze was shaken by two teams.
People from other guilds are also scared and confused. They have seen a reckless people, but they have never seen people this crazy.
