On the surface of the sea far away from Tenroujima, two cats, one white and one black, spread their wings and soared above the sea, flying in the direction of Tenroujima.
They were Carla and Panther Lily, Exceed from Edolas, and also one of Fairy Tail's three great mascots.
Of course, they were not like Happy, who had no other abilities apart from flying. Carla could predict the future for a short time, and Panther Lily had a strong combat ability, even though he had not maintained it for long.
"You are too worried about Wendy. After all, she is Dragon Slayer who has experienced many battles." While flying, Panther Lily saw the worry on Carla's face that could not be hidden and could not help but comfort her.
"I was clearly in the wrong, but she still refused to listen to my advice and insisted on helping Mest. She said that she wanted to help him on behalf of Mystogan." It was fine if Panther Lily did not mention it, but when he mentioned it, Carla became furious and said angrily.
"Indeed, I also think that Mest is very inappropriate. Just the point of the Prince's disciple is enough to make people suspicious." Panther Lily said thoughtfully.
"I don't care who that Mest is. He can't play any tricks in that group of monsters. The reason I'm really worried about is because I saw a very bad picture." Carla's face was heavy, and there was an indescribable sadness in his tone.
"Prediction ability? What did you see?" Seeing Carla's expression, Panther Lily couldn't help but ask.
"The scene is fragmented, and I can't say anything. However, I saw Cana crying with Calvin in her arms. She was crying very sadly, while Calvin was motionless as if he had already..."
Halfway through her words, Carla could no longer continue, but her face turned even more sad.
"You must be finished laughing. That's Calvin." This time, Panther Lily could not help but be surprised.

Seeing the appearance of Gajeel and Levy, Makarov chuckled. "Congratulations, you are the first to pass the examination."
"Hehe, with me here, isn't this a matter of course?" Gajeel smiled proudly, making Levy speechless.
He had clearly been humbly receiving advice just now.
Levy suddenly realized that the so-called Dragon Slayer was a guy with a stick of intestines. His emotions came quickly and left quickly. He had really worried for him for nothing.
"Looking at your injuries, Calvin must have had a hard time in this round. It's really fortunate that you guys managed to pass." Makarov did not strike down Gajeel. Instead, she praised him. In his opinion, passing through S-Class Sorcerer's test was a form of glory.
"You can't say that. Calvin was already going easy on him," Levy said in embarrassment. To be honest, she was actually quite worried that Makarov would settle accounts with him in the future and say that Calvin was not taking the test seriously.
But on second thought, Calvin had made eight new cards for the exam, so how could he say that he was perfunctory?
"Don't look down on yourself. The four S-Class Sorcerer have their own way of testing. To be able to pass is your strength. Congratulations again, take a good rest. When everyone is here, the second exam will begin." Makarov said slowly. After that, he walked to the side and continued to wait for the others to pass.
"I say, Master, as the first person to pass the exam, is there no preferential treatment?" Gajeel walked to Makarov's side with a smile and asked maliciously.
He originally had impure thoughts, but with his face, he looked like a big villain.
"What nonsense are you talking about? But it's not like there are no advantages. You can get more rest time!" Makarov replied with a smile. For some reason, when he saw Gajeel's expression, he felt a little creepy.
However, he only asked casually and did not expect much. He did not pester Makarov anymore and walked to the side with Levy to rest.
Waiting was always a long time. Gajeel was not a patient person to begin with. After a while, he became impatient. Levy could only smile bitterly. He felt that he had chosen the wrong teammate.
In fact, it did not take long before the second team passed.
It was Cana and Lucy. The two passed the exam almost unscathed.
"LuLu! I knew you could pass!" Seeing the person coming, Levy happily rushed over and waited with Gajeel. Although she enjoyed it a little, it was really depressing.
"Levy! You also passed!" Lucy also happily greeted Levy, and the two happily congratulated each other.
Meanwhile, Cana walked up to Gajeel and looked at him with a strange gaze.
"What are you doing!" Gajeel asked unhappily.
"You can actually cooperate with Levy. It really surprises me. You didn't bully Levy, right?"
It was not strange for Cana to think this way. After all, when the two of them were together, they were like big bad wolves and little sheep. Anyone would worry for Levy.
"I won't do such a thing!" Cana's words made Gajeel go crazy. He also knew that his appearance was not very pleasing, but looking at him like this, it was too sad.
"Haha, I'm just joking. Don't be angry!" Seeing that Gajeel was angry, Cana showed a triumphant face and turned to chat with Lucy and Levy. It could be seen that passing the first exam made her very happy.
"This guy's character is too bad!"
"You can't offend Cana, Gajeel." Suddenly, Makarov's voice came from behind Gajeel. Gajeel looked back and showed a puzzled expression.
"Think about it, the backer behind Cana, those two people who are more powerful than the standard."
The angry looks of Gildarts and Calvin suddenly appeared in Gajeel's mind, and he instantly shivered. He secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not offend Cana, or he would die a very miserable death.
Then, the next group was Natsu and Happy. The two of them walked out quietly. This excessive silence made everyone feel that something was wrong.
Gajeel originally wanted to go forward to show off that he had passed the first place and also strike down Natsu, but Natsu's silence made him give up this idea.
In Gajeel's thoughts, Natsu should have made a big fuss and said that he passed, arrogantly said to everyone, and then he would coldly say that he was only third, what was there to be proud of?
But Natsu was so silent at this moment, wouldn't he look like an idiot if he jumped out himself?
He could almost imagine that everyone would secretly compare Natsu's sudden' maturity 'with his' childish 'behavior. Thinking of this, Gajeel felt worse than death.
So he also became silent.
The scene suddenly became much quieter, leaving only the three girls talking about the world.
At this moment, Happy came out to show his presence and said very proudly.
"Aye! We passed Gildarts! Amazing!"
"No way!"
"Really"
"Encountering Gildarts, huh? Happy, you guys have had quite a tough time."
The three girls quickly praised. Happy was very proud and his nose stretched out.
Seeing Happy's proud appearance, Gajeel could no longer hold back and suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
"I am the first! And I even passed Calvin! No matter how you think about it, I should be more powerful than that fire dragon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him in an instant. No one else could react, but Levy's slightly disdainful gaze made him feel like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.
It was not right to let him sit down, and it was also not right to continue spouting nonsense.
Cold sweat immediately came out.
In the end, it was Happy who helped him out. He only heard Happy say with an expression of admiration, "So powerful! He surpassed that super black-bellied fellow Calvin!"
"It's... it's nothing much, haha... ha..."
After he finished speaking, Gajeel dropped to the ground and sat back down. He didn't even dare to raise his head, and his face was flushed with shame.
"Am I an idiot? Why am I so childish?"
Not long after, Gray, Loke, Elfman, and Evergreen also passed. There were a total of five teams. All the people who passed the first exam had arrived.
The first exam officially ended.
Next day was the beginning of the second exam.
