Next morning...
Irene, Evan, Erza, Ultear and Laxus, the five candidates for S-Calss Mage Promotion Trial, came to the pier!
"You guys are here?!"
Beside the pier, Makarov had been waiting here for a long time. Beside him was a small and medium-sized passenger ship with a Fairy Tail pattern printed on its sails!
"Then everyone, let's go!"
As Makarov said, he jumped onto the passenger ship in front of him first.
"Take a boat..."
Laxus looked at the passenger ship in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He seemed to have a deep resentment towards the means of transportation.
"Of course, you can also choose to fly to Tenrou Island by yourself, but I will not be responsible if you fail to take the exam because of wasting magic power!"
Makarov looked at the reluctant Laxus and said with a sinister smile.
Makarov still treats his own grandson equally...
"Fine…"
Laxus let out a sigh when he heard the words, and he bravely boarded the passenger ship in front of him.
"Um…"
The moment Laxus stepped on the board with both feet, he felt a tumbling in his stomach, as if he was about to vomit it out.
As for the others, they are also boarding the boat in front of him at this moment...
Including Evan, Ultear, Erza, and Irene, all stood on the boat indifferently.
"It seems that Laxus has already reached that step!"
Looking at Laxus, who was still churning in his stomach, his face pale but still holding on, Evan thought to himself.
"Interesting…"
Similarly, Laxus' abnormality caught Irene's attention.
"Young man, if I guessed correctly, you should be the Dragon Slayer Mage, right?!"
Irene walked up to Laxus and asked.
"Um?!"
After hearing Irene's words, Laxus was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"Oh…"
Irene just looked at Laxus casually, as if she had seen through Laxus.
"So that's the case. The current mage has improved on the First Generation of Dragon Slayer, and developed the Second Generation of Dragon Slayer. He actually thought of making the dragon's heart into a crystal and implanting it into the mage's body to drive the Dragon Slayer Magic! In this case, there is really no need to care about the growth of the dragon seed in the body."
After Irene looked Laxus up and down, she lamented the advancement of technology four hundred years later and the whimsy of modern mages. If this kind of technology existed in her time, it might not be possible that there will be so many Dragon Slayer Mage with abnormal bodies, and she doesn't need to be forced to become a dragon...
"..."
Laxus could feel Irene's gaze constantly looking him up and down, and drops of cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.
Although Laxus has never been in contact with Irene, he also knows that Irene is the mother of Evan and Erza.
Originally, Laxus thought that Irene was just an ordinary person.
It wasn't until the Fairy Tail 24-Hours Endurance Road Race that Laxus knew that Irene was a hidden mage, but even so Laxus didn't care too much, he just thought that Irene was faster, or better at time magic...
Laxus once faced mage that could use teleportation. Although it was indeed difficult, it was not invincible!
Until today!
It was only after Laxus faced Irene that he felt how terrifying Irene was.
The other party's lavender eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, just a single meeting, seemed to see all the secrets in him...
At this moment, Laxus was convinced that the most dangerous person on this ship was not Evan, but the woman in front of him.
"Um..."
Just when Laxus was about to say something, the boat under everyone's feet started to move along with the sound of the ship's whistle.
"Woo..."
As the passenger ship started to move, Laxus could feel his brain starting to faint again. He closed his eyes, put on his earphones, and leaned against the fence of the ship, blowing the sea breeze, with an extremely cold look on his face. But in fact, Laxus didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would spit out all of last night's dinner...
"Hehe, interesting brat..."
After Irene paid attention to Laxus for a while, she stopped paying attention to him. She was just interested in the way Laxus was holding on.
As for Irene herself, because of the ability of the Devil Fruit, Irene's body has been supplemented, and there is no side effect of dragon slayer magic for a long time...
In fact, even without the help of her magic, Irene would only be seasick, and she would give herself the attribute of not being dizzy in advance.
Just like Wendy, except that Irene's Caster Magic is more sophisticated.
In fact, Irene can also help Laxus get rid of the pain of seasickness. However, Irene thinks that he is already seasick and can't speak at this moment, yet he still holds on, looking calm and breezy. It's very interesting, so I didn't help out...
Irene wants to see how long Laxus can last...
"Everyone is on board now, let me tell you about the rules for this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!"
Makarov stood on the railing on the deck, watching the crowd preach.
"The rules are very simple. When we land on Tenrou Island, there will be five passages! Each person can only enter one passage! After entering the passage, the door will be sealed by the spell laid in advance! Among them, the five passages represent two attributes, fierce and fight!"
"The so-called fierce battle is to fight with Gildarts, the only S-Class Mage in Fairy Tail today!"
"As for fighting, it's a one-on-one battle with everyone who participated in this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!"
"In other words, among the five of you, four of you will meet each other in the end, and the unlucky one will meet Gildarts!"
"Remember, only the person who defeats the opponent and wins, the channel's spell will disappear, that is to say, only the winner can walk out of the channel, and the loser will directly withdraw from this year's assessment!"
"Those who have passed the first level will directly start the second level assessment. The content of the second level assessment is the maze! In fact, I have already arranged countless spells on Tenrou Island, and the first one to reach the Tenrou Tree is this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial will win! How about that? The rules are very simple, right?"
Makarov explained the rules of this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial.
"Haha…"
"There is really no innovation at all..."
"But it's okay, it's just what I want!"
Evan smiled after listening to Makarov's rules. He had already figured out how to deal with Makarov and Gildarts.
Makarov actually said that an unlucky guy would meet Gildarts?
This sentence is wrong. It should be said that there will be an unlucky person who will meet Irene...
To be honest, Evan couldn't wait to see the expressions of Makarov and Gildarts after the first stage of the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial! That would be amazing...
"Everyone, I don't know if you understand?!"
Makarov still didn't know what was waiting for him in the future. He looked at everyone excitedly and asked.
"I have doubts!"
At this moment, Evan stretched out her hand and asked Makarov.
"Oh, you ask!"
Makarov saw a few drops of cold sweat on the forehead of Evan who raised his hand, and he felt an ominous premonition in his heart, always feeling that Evan was going to do something.
"What if two people pass through a door at the same time?!"
Evan looked at Makarov and asked.
"This question!"
Makarov laughed when he heard that Evan asked this question.
"The answer is impossible!"
"Because I have set up spells around the cave. The spells are absolute. Only when you defeat the opponent and then throw the opponent out, or if the opponent voluntarily returns the same way, will the door of the passage allow others to pass through!"
"Evan, don't try to play tricks! It took me a month to lay out the spell on the entire Tenrou Island! You just follow the rules and go obediently!"
Although Makarov smiled at Evan.
Makarov had long thought that Evan would not play cards according to the routine, so he asked the mage in the guild who was good at spells to come to Tenrou Island to set up the examination place in advance...
"But there are always surprises, aren't there?"
Evan looked at Makarov and asked.
"Haha! Then it will be considered that you all passed the first level!"
"Okay, do you understand the exam rules now?"
Makarov laughed. He thought that Evan still didn't understand the power of spells, which was normal. He was young and didn't believe that there was anything absolute in this world.
"We get it!"
All Fairy Tail S-Class Mage Promotion Trial examiners except Laxus replied in unison.
