In the Fairy Tail Guild.
A group of mage gathered under the ring in the middle of the Fairy Tail, silently watching the president of Makarov, who was standing on the ring and using the wide ring as a platform.
"Since everyone has gathered here, let me announce that this year, Fairy Tail will be taking the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial."
Makarov stood on the podium, and after looking around, his expression gradually became serious. He decided to announce the candidate for this year's Fairy Tail S-Class Mage Promotion Trial.
"We've finally reached this step..."
"That's right! Let the two of us participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!"
Gray and Lyon looked at Makarov, who was standing on the podium and preparing to announce the candidate for this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial. The corners of their mouths rose slightly.
Gray and Lyon had fought hard for two years. Their strength was no longer the same as before, and they believed that they already had the strength to rank as a Fairy Tail level mage.
"As a group of members who joined the guild earlier, we are also different!"
"Isn't that so? Not only have our gambling skills become more and more violent, even our alcohol tolerance has increased."
Makarov and Wakaba stood on the podium, looking at Makarov who was about to announce the entrance to the examination. They revealed a proud smile.
"Candidate for S-Class Mage Promotion Trial?"
Cana stood beside the two of them. After listening to what Macao and Wakaba said, she was speechless.
"Sigh..."
"I wonder if I have the qualifications to participate in the assessment this year."
Cana looked at the card in her hand and frowned. She did not dare to predict her future. She was afraid that her predicted future was not accurate, but also afraid that her predicted future was too accurate.
"Looks like everyone is very eager to try..."
"I wonder how many people will pass the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial this year. There wasn't a single person last year..."
Erza was also standing on the podium. As the current S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail, she would participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial as an examiner.
"Of course not..."
"The people who participated in the assessment last year were too weak. They were much weaker than us a year ago."
Laxus was also standing on the podium. He was also one of the examiners this year.
"It's just that the two of you didn't know about it. You went easy..."
Makarov listened to the complaints of Erza and Laxus behind him and felt bitter in his heart. If it was according to the standards of Erza and Laxus, perhaps from this year onwards, there would no longer be a new S-Class Mage.
"Before we announce the candidates for the assessment, we will announce the lineup of this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial. Simply put, this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial will be held by all the current S-Class Mages. Although there are some people who do not have a triner because of some matters, of course, if you want all of the S-Class Mages, it is not that I can not invite all of them. If you want to see...
Before announcing the candidates for the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, Makarov watched as everyone talked about this year's examiners.
"So, it isn't just Erza and Laxus who say that. Even Evan, Ultera, Gildarts, and Irene will be the examiners?"
As soon as Makarov finished speaking, the mages of the various guilds below the podium were instantly in an uproar.
"If you want to, it's not like I can't invite Irene..."
With a flash of light, Evan's figure appeared next to Makarov. He looked at the guild members below the stage and smiled.
"Forget it... Thank you. Please be generous and don't invite Irene to take charge of the assessment!"
After hearing Evan's words, the mages of the Faity Tail immediately bent down and bowed towards Evan.
With Irene's personality, she would definitely dislike the difficulty of the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, so she would eliminate everyone in an instant...
"Hehe, first of all, in the year X776 of Fairy Tail, the first candidate to participate in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial is Kurnugi!"
Makarov stood on the podium and looked at the terrified members of the guild. He announced the first candidate to participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, without a doubt, it was Kurnugi.
Although Kurnugi didn't come...
"It really is him!"
"Bi is the king of the lectern, Evan's disciple. He can suppress the monsters that Laxus and Erza fought. In terms of strength, he is definitely an S-Class. Other than the fact that he doesn't have the certification of an S-Class Mage..."
When the members of the guild heard that the first candidate to participate in the assessment was Kurnugi, they all expressed that it was true.
After all, Kurnugi's performance this year was too eye-catching. He had completed an unprecedented 100 undefeated battles on the lectern.
Apart from being beaten up by Evan and Irene everyday, even if he were to fight against Gildarts, Kurnugi's performance was also incomparably eye-catching. Unfortunately, Kurnugi had never gone all out against Gildarts well, so the people of the guild weren't clear on who was better.
"Second, a ghost-like man. At the same time, he is also the great senior of your group of little brats..."
Just as the members of the guild were chattering incessantly, Makarov announced the second participant. It was precisely the Dragon Slayer and the guild great senior that Evan had snatched back from the Northern Continent's Guiltina Magic Council, Specter.
Along with a wave of cold aura, a transparent youth appeared in the crowd before the eyes of all the mages with Fairy Tail badges.
"Huh? The great senior also wants to compete with us for this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial ?"
The members of the guild did not seem to be surprised by Specter. After all, apart from Specter, they could occasionally see the souls of the first Guild Master of the guild, Mavis, who was naked and wandering around everywhere.
"Although I have no intention of competing with you, since this is Makarov's intention, I will play with you for a bit."
Specter was a bit introverted. In fact, he was not interested in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial in the guild. However, Makarov saw that he was too unsociable and hoped that he would participate in more collective activities in the Fairy Tail Guild, so this scene appeared before him.
"Foul! Foul! It's a complete foul!"
The members of the Fairy Tail group below the podium collectively protested to Makarov.
"Hehe, protest is invalid. I, the Guild Master, have the final say!"
"Moreover, if every year's exam is so simple, wouldn't the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial be common?"
Makarov's attitude was extremely unyielding. The reason he had allowed Specter to participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial was to kill the drive of these newcomers. Although he was strong, Specter couldn't beat that monster, Kurnugi.
"The third person to be selected was last year. The person who entered the conference last year was the one who obtained the qualifications to enter the S-Class Mage level within a year. She was kagura! You bunch of bastards, how do you feel about being surpassed by a little girl who isn't even ten years old? Are you very unhappy?"
Makarov stood on the podium, looking at the members below the podium with a mean expression.
In reality, with Kagura's strength, she was far from being able to participate in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial of the Fairy Tail Guild. It was just that Makarov wanted to vent his anger on the members of the guild, so he made an exception to let Kagura experience the atmosphere of the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial in advance. It was also to prepare for Kagura to pass the examination in the future. After all, Kagura was undoubtedly a child with the potential to become an S-Class Mage.
"Eh? I actually obtained the qualifications to participate in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial?"
Off the stage, Kagura, who was holding a sword, was slightly stunned. Although she had been trained by Erza for four months, she believed that her current strength was not enough to participate in the guild's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial . Therefore, she had never expected that Makarov would give her the qualifications to participate in the assessment.
"Corruption! Corruption! Kaguta is only nine years old, but she already participated in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial . If this isn't corruption, then what is?"
"As expected, the Guild Master is a lolicon!"
"Guild Master! Lolicon! Guild Master! Lolicon!"
After the others in the guild heard Makarov's words, they all denounced Makarov in unison. They even gave Makarov the hat of a Lolicon.
"Oh Since you don't agree with my decision, then you can choose to challenge Kagura!"
"As long as you can defeat Kaguta, then you can also participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!"
Markolov stood on the podium and smiled at the Fairy Tail members below the podium.
"Eh, you won against Kagura? Then, forget it!"
The guild members who were originally making a ruckus suddenly became terrified when they heard Markolov telling them to fight Kagura. Kagura was actually a child that had been trained by Erza for more than a year. The blade light was quite sharp and was not something they could deal with.
"Hehe..."
Makarov smiled coldly as he looked at the terrified guild members.
"Next is the last place to participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!"
"This year, the last person to participate in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial is..."
Makarov didn't give the members of the guild below the lecture platform a chance to catch their breath. He directly announced the last person this year to obtain the qualifications to enter the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial.
For a time, as Makarov opened his mouth, the entire noisy guild fell silent. All the mages who believed that their strength was not bad and had spent enough time training themselves, hoping to obtain the qualifications to participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial held their breaths. At this moment, there was only one voice in their hearts
"It's me! The last qualification is mine!"
"It must be mine. I am the one most qualified to obtain the last spot."
"No one is more hardworking than me. The last spot can only be me."
Just as the mages were looking forward to it, Makarov finally opened his mouth to speak.
"The last person to obtain the qualifications to become an S-Class Mage Promotion Trial is precisely this year's newly joined guild. Up until now, he has only been in the guild for half a year, yet he has already displayed astonishing talent - Mirajane!"
Makarov looked around the mages below the podium, and finally locked onto a young lady with snow-white hair and a pretty face with a single ponytail among the crowd. That young lady was precisely Mirajane, who had struggled in Evan's hands for four months.
"Alright!"
As soon as Makarov finished speaking, Mirajane, who was originally standing below the podium, suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly.
The corners of his eyes flashed with tears of joy...
As Makarov announced that the last place belonged to Mirajane, this made her think that her four months of devilish training had not been wasted in vain. Everything was worth it.
"That's great, sister!"
"Sister, you did it..."
After hearing Makarov's words, Elfman and Lisanna immediately hugged their sister, Mirajane, and held her in the center as they continuously spoke.
"Of course I did it."
Mirajane forcefully hugged Elfman and Lisanna.
Right after that, she locked her eyes on Evan who was standing on the platform.
"Evan, did you see that? I did it..."
After seeing Evan, Mirajane jumped onto the platform and hugged Evan.
Of course, this was only because Mirajane had obtained the last qualification to participate in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial. She was too happy, so she wanted to share this joy with Evan who had been training with her.
"En, I saw it. Mirajane, you did well."
Evan revealed a faint smile and congratulated Mirajane.
Although Mirajane had only obtained the qualifications to participate in the Demon Tail S-Class Mage Promotion Trial and was still a long way from becoming an S-Class Mage, to Mirajane, this was equivalent to advancing a great distance towards the S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild. To Mirajane, this was something worth celebrating.
"I just obtained the qualifications to participate in the assessment. There is still a long way to go before you become an S-Class Mage. Mirajane, don't be too proud."
Just as Mirajane was about to approach Evan, who was the examiner of this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial seated in the ring, and was about to share his joy with Evan by embracing him, a scarlet silhouette blocked in front of Evan and Mirajane, and while holding down the advancing Mirajane, she coldly spoke.
"Huh? You don't need to tell me about it. I know it too!"
Mirajane, who was originally smiling, changed her expression when she saw the person standing in front of her. The smile on her face immediately disappeared. She pulled on Erza's collar and speaking coldly.
"Hehe..." Erza raised her right hand and gently knocked off Mirajane's hand that was holding her collar. Then, she seriously said to Mirajane, "I think you don't understand the huge gap between your strength and the strength of an active S-Class Mage. Otherwise, you wouldn't have revealed such a real smile."
"What did you say?"
"Say it again if you have the ability..."
Mirajane asked as he looked at the arrogant look on her face.
"No matter how many times I say it, you won't be able to make up for it. The huge gap between you and the Fairy Tail..."
Erza smiled as she spoke the cold truth with a gentle face.
For a moment, the atmosphere between Mirajane and Erza seemed to have dropped to the lowest point, and the two of them were ready to fight at any moment.
"Hehe..."
Towards this, Evan could only smile bitterly. Sure enough, Mirajane and Erza , these two violent tempers, were still the same as before, completely at odds with each other.
"Boring..."
Laxus turned his head and kept yawning, looking very tired.
"In short, because there are only four candidates this year, I will use the simplest method to take the test!"
"The four of you who are participating in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial can choose an S-Class Mage from any guild to challenge. As long as you defeat the other party, you will immediately receive this year's S-Class Mage."
Because there were not many people participating in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, Makarov was too lazy to engage in large-scale activities of an S-Class Mage. Moreover, Makarov believed that it was necessary for the members of the guild to understand the strength of an S-Class Mage.
"Do you still need to choose?"
"The person I want to challenge is you!"
Just as Makarov finished announcing the rules, Mirajane impatiently selected Erza as his opponent.
"Alright, I'll let you experience the huge difference in strength between you and me."
After hearing Mirajane's words, the corners of Erza's mouth raised slightly. She decided to use absolute strength to tell her how powerful the strength between the Fairy Tail S-Class Mage and ordinary mage was.
"Hehe..."
Mirajane only smiled coldly at this, but at the same time, she was eager to give it a try.
"Then it's decided that the first round of the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial will be taken by Erza Belserion!"
Makarov stood on the podium and looked at the two people who were eager to give it a try. He whispered.
